Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 76 Return in triumph
One day later, at Fuchu Citizens Stadium.

The second semi-final of the West Tokyo Summer Tournament is about to begin.

Earlier, the first match of the semi-finals was held here.

That game was a head-to-head battle between two top teams.

Daocheng Industry will compete against Xianquan High School.

In the end, Daocheng Industry defeated Xianquan High School with a slight advantage and advanced to the finals in advance.

In that game, Cheng Gong Ming performed very well, firmly suppressing the batting line of Xianquan High School and showing the oppressive feeling of the Prince of West Tokyo.

In that game, his continuous fastballs and changing balls with great variations made Xianquan High School helpless.

Daocheng Industry got started early.

Even though Xianquan High School swung the bat actively, hoping to score a point against Cheng Gong Ming, they failed and were eliminated by Daocheng Industrial.

In this match, Daocheng Industry only won a small victory of 1:0.

They only got that one point in the third inning. Later, under the suppression of Xianquan High School's ace pitcher Maki Yosuke, Daocheng Industrial's scoring efficiency became lower and lower.

In the end, Daocheng Industry won with a score of 1:0 and became the first team to enter the finals.

And now, their opponents will be decided here.

Whether it is Qingdao High School or Yakushi High School, the answer will be revealed after the game is over.

"There are so many people today."

Akiko Yamato looked at the packed auditorium and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, but compared to the game in the morning, it's still a small amount."

Fujio said, his eyes always focused on the competition field.

In fact, he doesn't need to be so focused now. After all, both teams have not entered the field yet, so he can distract himself.

But his professional ethics told him that this was absolutely not advisable.

"Oh yeah, why is that?"

Yamato Akiko didn't understand.

She is still just a young reporter and perhaps doesn't know as much as those old fans.

"Daocheng Industrial and Xianquan High School are both powerful teams. They have achieved great results in the West Tokyo area. They have accumulated a lot of fans, which is very important. That's why the games between the two teams attract so many people to watch.

This is something that Qingdao High School and Yakushi High School cannot compare to. Qingdao High School has an amazing number of fans, and they are also a well-established powerhouse in West Tokyo. It’s just that Yakushi High School is not as good. If the team that entered the semifinals this time was the third high school of the city, the audience might be similar to that of the morning match. "

Fujio said a lot of things.

This much can be told just from the number of viewers, and he is worthy of being a veteran journalist.

The number of spectators is also crucial to the team.

Especially those teams with similar strength.

Sometimes, not only the team plays, but the cheering groups also compete with each other in the audience with their vocal skills.

"Are you all ready?"

Before entering the venue, Coach Kataoka walked to the front of the team and asked loudly to everyone from Seidou High School.

If they win this match, they will go to the finals and challenge Daocheng Industry! Compete for tickets to Koshien!

"Ready!"

The students also shouted at the top of their lungs.

At this time, the voice must not be lowered!
"Okay! Remember, our goal is to defeat Daocheng! It's Koshien! It's to dominate the country!"

"Yes!"

"We can only win this game, not lose! If you have the guts, throw the Koshien tickets in my face!"

Upon hearing this, the students of Qingdao High School became excited, as if they were provoked.

Especially Sawamura, his eyes were red and he kept staring at Director Kataoka.

"Yes! Director! If there is an opportunity, please let me throw the Koshien ticket in your face! Please don't hide then!" Sawamura seemed to have taken this sentence seriously, his eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

"This guy."

Coach Kataoka also rarely expressed his dissatisfaction with Sawamura. He used to ignore Sawamura.

"Kuramochi."

"Yes!"

Kuramochi grabbed Kuramochi's neck and dragged him back.

"Idiot, there is no such thing as Koshien tickets. They are just a supervision to stimulate us."

"Time waits for no one, let's go!"

As he said that, Coach Kataoka walked in with the students of Seidou High School.

Unlike every other entrance, this time it was Coach Kataoka who led Seidou High School into the stadium.

It was Yuki who led the team every time, and this time it was a crucial game for Seidou High School.

As Coach Kataoka pushed open the door of the locker room leading to the competition field, Seidou High School officially appeared.

"Come out! Come out!"

"Now comes the veteran powerhouse from West Tokyo, Seidou High School! As a powerhouse in West Tokyo, Seidou High School has been active in the first echelon of West Tokyo in recent years. In this year's spring tournament, they even won the runner-up. Although they have not been able to enter Koshien in recent years, the outside world still believes that they can break this curse this year! Come on! Seidou High School!"

After the commentator saw Seidou High School appear on the field, he immediately began to introduce this famous team.

"Have the semi-finals been introduced yet?"

Zhou Hui felt very curious and walked into the competition venue step by step.

“I’ve never seen the world.”

Yukichi grinned from behind.

Zhou Hui suppressed his anger, pretended not to hear and walked in.

If it weren't for the need for a neat and orderly formation to enter the venue, he would have turned back long ago.

As Qingdao High School entered, Yakushi High School also walked in.

Well, still the same as before, walking very untidy, like a primary school student.

Despite their appearance, their strength should not be underestimated.

They have amazing hitting skills and will teach a lesson to all those who look down on them.

Yakushi High School and Seidou High School arrived together and the game was about to begin.

After changing into the team uniforms, the starting lineups of the two teams were also displayed on the scoreboard.

At Seidou High School, Tamba's name stands out as the starting pitcher.

In the audience seats, the Daocheng Industrial Baseball Team also sat together.

"Oh? Danbo got on?"

Cheng Gongming said with a proud look on his face.

"Has Qingdao High School finally decided to use their trump card?"

The big guy next to Cheng Gongming also echoed.

This big guy is their first catcher, Masahiko Harada, and also their captain.

On the field, Danbo had already walked to the pitcher's mound and started warming up.

After seeing Danbo's figure, the audience cheered again.

This is Danbo! Danbo is back!

The ace pitcher of Seidou High School!
We had heard that he was injured before, and the fact that he had not played in the first three games made many fans of Seidou High School believe that Tamba would miss the following games.

But unexpectedly, he returned triumphantly today!
