Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 73 It Seems Like Overnight

Return to Seidou High School.

In the cafeteria, none of the students could eat and had no appetite at all.

It seems that the three big bowls of rice today are just enough to fool them.

After the game between City University High School and Pharmacist High School, they also felt the pressure.

This is different from the pressure in the quarter-finals.

Their opponent in the quarter-finals is Mingchuan Academy, so the pressure is naturally not that great.

No matter how dark Mingchuan Academy is, it can never be as dark as Pharmacist High School.

They advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating schools like Kamiyayama High School, and are not at the same level as Yakushi High School at all.

If Mingchuan Academy had defeated Daocheng Industrial instead of Shenheshan High School, their pressure would have increased exponentially.

Pharmacist High School is a bit similar.

They defeated a strong school like the city’s third high school.

Compared with Mingchuan Academy, Qingdao High School does have more pressure.

Seidou High School’s goal is Koshien.

They didn't want to lose in the semi-finals.

But today, when they saw the game between Pharmacist High School and City University High School, they were indeed scared.

Especially when he saw that Honglei City was able to hit a home run from Shinaka Yamato, he was even more scared.

If the final winner was a senior high school student from a city university, perhaps they wouldn't be so scared.

After all, they had defeated the city's third high school in the spring competition.

But the final opponent happened to be Pharmacist High School.

Pharmacist High School, they had never faced it before.

Moreover, they won the spring competition against the city's top three high schools by a narrow margin.

Pharmacist High School defeated the third high school in the city after filling in the gaps.

Although Shinaka Kaname's injury in the middle of the game became a turning point of the game, it also became an uncertain factor in the game.

But after all, Shinaka had to last seven games, right?
It’s still not that simple!
"What are you thinking about? Is today's meal not tasty?"

Seeing everyone's dejected look, Zhou Hui couldn't help but speak.

It’s just a small pharmacist high school, is it that serious?

As he spoke, Zhou Hui picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth.

Seeing Zhou Hui so relaxed, Isashiki Jun and others were really envious.

"That's a really open-minded idea."

Isajiki Jun shook his head.

Liangjie standing by also had a bitter look on his face, which was not often seen on his face.

"I can't help it. He is a freshman and has infinite possibilities in the future."

Ryosuke said it well.

Zhou Hui is a first-year student, unlike them, who are already in the third grade.

This is their last summer competition, and Zhou Hui will have more summer competitions to come.

Just for this reason, his pressure is much less than that of his seniors.

The third-year students, represented by Yuki, have never entered Koshien, and this is their last chance.

You must enter Koshien!

"Never mind, let's eat. We'll talk about the rest of the seminar later."

Although Yuki was also under pressure, he could only comfort his classmates and let them eat, pretending that he didn't care.

As the captain, he certainly cannot show too much negative energy.

Everyone listened to Yuki's words and started eating.

……

In the Qingdao High School meeting room, twenty students had arrived and were seated.

The playful smiles on everyone's face were gone, and everyone had a serious expression.

Even Miyuki showed a rare look of being stressed.

Pharmacist High School, which defeated the third highest high school in the city, is definitely not weak.

"Is all the information ready?"

Director Kataoka asked Chris and Watanabe.

After they came back from watching the game, they began to prepare materials for Pharmacist High School.

"No problem."

Both nodded.

"Very well, let's begin."

"Yes!"

The two nodded, and then as usual, Watanabe spoke first.

"The Yaoshi High School team was one of the top 16 teams in the spring tournament, but it was only in the top 16. It failed to advance further, but it was considered a seeded team that was on the edge of a seeded team.

To be honest, their school history can only be considered mediocre, without any strong background. The best result was only the quarterfinals. They were able to beat the third-highest school in the city, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations."

Watanabe first talked about the recent performance and history of Yakushi High School.

No matter how you listen to it, this team is a real dark horse team.

But if a dark horse team can beat the city’s top three high school, doesn’t that mean they are a dark horse team to the end?

"Their lineup has changed a lot compared to the spring tournament. There are basically no old members in the starting lineup. Almost all of them are young talents. Including their main fourth batter Hong Lei Ichi, main first baseman Mishima Yuta and first catcher Akiba Kazuma, all of them are first-year players."

After the spring competition, with the appointment of Hong Leizang, Yaoshi High School did undergo a "major change".

I just didn’t expect that this wave of “major blood transfusion” would have such miraculous effects so soon.

Nearly half of them even became the main force.

Hong Lei Zang is really a very bold supervisor.

"Well, I want to ask something."

At this time, Miyuki raised his hand and interrupted Watanabe.

"what's up?"

Chris asked.

Perhaps only Chris can answer Yuki's question.

In other words, only Chris's answer could convince Miyuki.

"Excuse me, are Mishima, Honglei City, and Akiha mentioned by Watanabe just now native to West Tokyo?"

Miyuki's question may seem nonsensical, but it is actually a good question.

"Good question. According to the information we have collected, the three of them are all natives of West Tokyo. And Hong Lei Shi is the son of the team supervisor Hong Lei Zang. They are all born and raised in West Tokyo."

"That's weird."

Yukichi said to himself.

"It's really strange."

Chris seemed to know what Miyuki was thinking and immediately said this.

"Although the three of them are natives of West Tokyo and have outstanding abilities, they should have been famous in junior high school, but we have not found any information about their junior high school or any information about their matches. We only know which junior high school the three of them graduated from, but there is no record of them representing junior high school or minor league baseball games."

With this said, Yuki's doubts seemed to be resolved, but not completely.

Why don't these three strong players have any experience playing in junior high school?

This puzzled him.

"In short, whether it's Pharmacist High School or the three people from Honglei City, they all seem to have become famous overnight. Everything seems to have happened overnight."

Chris added.
