Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 58 Want to score? No way!

Shiratori made the wrong bet in the end. Fōgaya Akira unexpectedly threw a good ball in the last pitch, striking out Shiratori.

Shiratori herself did not expect this to be the outcome.

"This kid is getting scarier as he gets older now that he has control of the ball."

As Bai Niao walked towards the lounge, he spoke to Yang Shunchen who was coming towards him.

Yang Shunchen looked at Bai Niao with disdain, as if he thought Bai Niao was extremely ignorant.

"Shun-Omi, what do you mean by that expression? I'm telling the truth."

The white bird also became anxious.

He is the captain of Mingchuan Academy, but he is being looked at like this by a second-year boy.

"It's nothing. I can only say that pitching at that level doesn't deserve the word 'ball control'."

After Yang Shunchen finished speaking, he walked up without looking back.

What he is best at is ball control. In his opinion, Akihiro Kotani's mediocre skills have nothing to do with ball control.

But compared to his previous pitches, that pitch could indeed be considered a controlled shot.

But from Yang Shunchen's perspective, it was nothing.

Yang Shunchen's ball control is top-notch, and he is not afraid of anyone in this aspect.

This is what gives him the courage to say such things.

In Yang Shunchen's eyes, Akihiro Kotani's ball control was not really ball control at all.

"Really? What on earth was he talking about?"

Shiratori turned back to the lounge, looking unhappy.

"what happened?"

The Akikawa Academy's Ogata supervisor asked with a smile.

He was in the best mood at this moment.

He has been the supervisor of Mingchuan Academy for ten years, but has never led the team past the second round of the regional tournament.

Although the school didn't care about this at all, he must have felt very uncomfortable.

Now he has finally led Mingchuan Academy to the quarterfinals, and judging from the current situation, there is still a chance to go further.

This definitely made him extremely happy.

If they can advance to the semi-finals of the summer tournament by defeating Seidou High School, coach Ogata will be extremely excited.

Even if the school doesn't give him a salary increase or promotion.

That doesn’t matter!
As long as he can lead these children to fulfill their wishes, he will not regret it.

Coach Ogata definitely has the highest leadership in Mingchuan Academy.

Because he is the only one who can suppress Yang Shunchen.

In Yang Shunchen's eyes, Supervisor Ogata is like his "island father".

When Yang Shunchen met Coach Ogata for the first time, he said that he wanted to enter Koshien.

This sentence is also imprinted in Supervisor Ogata's mind, and Supervisor Ogata attaches the greatest importance to this child.

So when he saw such a good situation and the batter was still Yang Shunshen, coach Ogata was not worried at all.

"Okay, one out, bases loaded, it's Mingchuan Academy's fifth batter's ace pitcher, Yang Shunchen's turn to bat!"

"I can't waste such a good opportunity."

Fōgiya Xiao stood on the pitcher's mound, still staring at Yang Shunchen fiercely, and his momentum suddenly rose.

However, Yang Shunchen had seen the world, and he was not afraid when he saw the look in Jōgō Aki's eyes. Instead, he stared at him as if he were a fool.

"Not worth mentioning."

"It doesn't matter. We will use our strength to make him look up to you."

Chris muttered to himself, then placed the gloves in the middle, slightly higher.

This should be the limit of where Akira Fōgani can throw the ball while maintaining his original speed.

If we go any further, we may not be able to do it.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball flew out of his hand, and Chris opened his glove, waiting for the baseball.

"interesting."

The corners of Yang Shunchen's mouth rose slightly.

He hasn't encountered such a strong opponent for a long time.

As expected, they are a veteran strong team in West Tokyo. They are not on the same level as teams like Kamikawayama High School.

It's interesting to play against a team like this.

I'm afraid only the pitcher from a top team like Seidou High School can throw a pitch at such a fast speed.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

A good high shot!
The first pitch was not out of the strike zone, which made him more and more confident in his ball control.

Chris threw the ball back.

Fōtani Akira has already found the feeling of pitching, so it is a foregone conclusion that Seidou High School will enter Koshien this year.

With ball control, Akira Fōgani is simply a dimensionality reduction attack in high school games.

The next ball was still in the same position.

It’s not that Chris doesn’t want change.

The main thing is that Fōgaya Akira can only play in this position, and the remaining positions will require further training in the future.

"From this position, your ball speed is really scary, but I like it."

Yang Shunchen twirled the bat, licked his lips and looked at Kouya Akira on the pitcher's mound.

This tall and thin guy no longer looks like someone who can only rely on brute force to shoot the ball.

With the ball in his hands, he is more like a "monster".

A good ball.

“The next pitch, good or bad, I’m going to swing at it.”

The tactic of not swinging the bat was originally proposed by Yang Shunchen, but now it seems that he is the first one to destroy this tactic.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball came flying towards Yang Shunchen.

"interesting."

"Qiang!"

Yang Shunchen raised his hand and waved.

This was the first time that Akira Fōgani felt the ball being swung out.

Who could hit his ball before?

That almost doesn't exist.

Yang Shunchen's main position is pitcher, and hitting is actually not his forte.

Even so, Kouya Akira's ball was still hit out. Although it was not that strong, it still made Kouya Akira feel pressured.

“Left field.”

Chris took off his mask and shouted toward left field.

Zhou Hui in left outfield had already found his position and was ready.

"I'll come, I'll come."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Hui stretched out his hand slightly and caught the ball.

"Out!"

But the runner on third base was ready and headed for home plate.

At the same time, the batters on the three bases also started to act one after another.

"Want to score? No way!"

Zhou Hui swung his arm and passed the baseball back to home base.

Zhou Hui's right arm strength is still quite amazing.

Extraordinary strength has always been synonymous with Zhou Hui.

Chris opened his gloves, believing Zhou Hui could pass the ball back.

Baseball is like a race between runners, it all depends on who gets to home plate first.

As long as Zhou Hui's ball can reach home base first, then with Chris's experience, he can block the runner no matter what.

"Snapped!"

The reply was successful!

With this speed and distance, many pitchers are ashamed of themselves.

"Pretty!"

Chris exclaimed, but without losing sight of his business, he rushed towards the runner.

"How come the message came back so quickly?!"

Ninomiya's eyes widened.

He thought he was fast enough.

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

In the end, Ninomiya, who slid to the bases, still couldn't escape Chris's block!

Three outs!
