Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

However, due to Shinichiro Akasaka's exceptional pitching skills, he was directly recruited by a professional team.

He became a professional pitcher right after graduation.

Now he earns an annual salary of tens of millions.

He even went abroad many times and competed in many competitions with other schools in foreign countries, achieving good results.

These achievements made them incredibly envious, even though they were only aiming to enter Koshien!

One day, they also want to become professional players like Shinichiro Akasaka!

This is their dream!

And they just learned that they can also personally experience the speed of a professional pitcher's pitch!

They know that Shinichiro Akasaka's ball speed is in the 155-160 range.

At that speed, a ball could really kill someone if you're not careful.

But this also made them even more energetic.

After all, opportunities to practice with professionals are rare.

They also wanted to see how much of a difference there was between themselves, still in high school, and those in the workforce!

Shinichiro Akasaka held the baseball in his hand, warmed up a little, and then got into a pitching stance.

He then threw it out with all his might!

boom!

The baseball shot out of his hand in an instant!

It sprints towards the receiver ahead at a speed of 155 kilometers per hour!

This speed is incredibly fast.

A high school batter like him simply couldn't handle it.

The batter's first swing missed completely!

The same applies to the next three batters.

Strikeout!

The batter was also very annoyed after witnessing this.

Shinichiro Akasaka smiled slightly and shouted, "Next!"

He incorporated some breaking balls, sliders, and sinkers into his pitches.

It's impossible to defend against; the batters simply can't hit the baseball.

soon.

The same applies to the next batter and the one after that.

They were all struck out.

Shinichiro Akasaka gradually regained his form after these pitches.

The ball speed is even getting faster and faster.

It's pretty much the same as when he usually plays in matches.

It has reached the 160 km/h range.

Then it was the turn of the last batter, Yasuharu Nakano, who was relatively tall.

This person was also concentrating intently, his eyes fixed on the baseball in Shinichiro Akasaka's hand, waiting for an opportunity.

The moment Shinichiro Akasaka threw the baseball.

Nakano Yasuharu immediately recognized that this was a breaking ball.

Without hesitation, the man aimed at the trajectory of the breaking ball and swung the bat directly!

bang~

The crisp sound echoed throughout the baseball field.

Nakano Koji was pleasantly surprised to find that he had hit Shinichiro Akasaka's ball.

Although it's gone too far.

But as long as I hit it, I'm already very happy!

But at this time.

After everyone noticed the trajectory of the baseball.

Everyone, from the baseball team to Shinichiro Akasaka, panicked.

The baseball, which had just been hit, was hurtling towards the direction of TV presenter Shino Aibe at full speed.

And it was facing Aibe Shino's face directly.

If the ball hit her in the face.

The consequences would be truly unimaginable.

Modern professional and amateur baseballs primarily use baseballs made of cowhide. The core of a hardball is made of cork, rubber, or a similar material, wound with silk thread, and tightly bound and sewn together from two pieces of white horsehide or cowhide.

Getting hit by a professional pitcher will definitely result in a fracture.

If you were hit in the face by a baseball at that speed, there's a real chance you'd faint on the spot.

Even if she didn't faint.

But he'll definitely be disfigured on the spot!

That would be a real problem.

Because Shino Aibe is a female presenter on TV Tokyo.

You could say she makes a living based on her looks.

If someone smashes the host's face, disfiguring him and sending him to the hospital, then his future is ruined.

At that point, even if the baseball team apologizes, it might not be enough!

Shinichiro Akasaka was completely panicked.

After all, he was the one who threw the ball, so he certainly bears some responsibility.

If something really goes wrong, he'll be in deep trouble.

But the ball had already flown out, and there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to. He could only watch helplessly as the baseball flew straight toward Aibe Shino's face.

At that speed, even professional baseball players might not be able to react in time, let alone ordinary people.

And at this time.

Shiro Kaede's ears twitched slightly, sensing something flying towards him at breakneck speed.

He had just turned around when he saw a baseball hurtling towards him.

Although the speed was very fast, with his agility and mental strength of seven points, he was able to catch the baseball's trajectory in an instant.

After realizing that the trajectory was pointing towards Aibe Shino, Shiro Shiro frowned slightly and quickly raised his hand and placed it in front of Aibe Shino.

next second.

With a crisp bang.

Bai Feng held the incredibly fast baseball firmly in his hand.

After doing all that, Shiro Shiro simply tossed the ball back and, just like before, continued answering Aibe Shino's question as if nothing had happened.

Aibe Shino stared blankly at the scene, and only after he came to his senses did he realize what was happening.

She then realized with a start that the ball had been flying straight towards her face.

If it weren't for Kamishiro-kun blocking that ball for me...

My career is likely to be fraught with difficulties.

Think of this.

Looking at Shiro, who seemed completely unfazed, Shino's fair face showed a hint of panic and shyness. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she couldn't tell if it was lingering fear or something else.

Yui Nagasawa, who witnessed the whole thing from behind, stared wide-eyed, swallowed hard, and muttered to herself:

"My goodness! He reacted in the blink of an eye and caught the ball?"

"This is so handsome!"

The scene where Shiro Kaede caught the fast-moving baseball the instant she turned around.

Everyone who witnessed it was stunned.

Especially Shinichiro Akasaka and Koji Nakano!

After all, only those who have played baseball know how difficult it is to do something like this.

Catching the ball in the blink of an eye requires extremely sharp reflexes.

Even those who play baseball regularly might not be able to do it.

Because when they receive the ball, their eyes are basically always on the ball.

But the situation just now was different.

There was basically no room for anyone to react.

When Bai Feng turned around, the ball was very close to them.

It's about ten meters away, and given the speed of the baseball, it could probably hit him in the blink of an eye.

Bai Feng reacted to the ball's trajectory in such a short distance, in just a moment, and even caught the ball.

Even Shinichiro Akasaka himself couldn't do it from such a short distance without constantly watching the ball's trajectory.
