Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

Thunder City's pupils dilated suddenly in the strike zone.

What comes into view is the light and shadow of the white sphere, so fast that it is almost invisible.

An overwhelming sense of suffocation washed over him like a tidal wave, taking over his mind.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

The white ball pierced directly into Kazuya Miyuki's glove, making a clear and dull sound that seemed to strike the heart of everyone.

"nice shot!"

Raichi was shocked: "This is the kind of ball! I came here specifically to see this kind of ball!"

Looking at Lin Xiao, Miyuki secretly praised him, "That Lin Xiao guy has such high fighting spirit!"

"It feels like the ball is roaring!"

"It's even more amazing than I imagined, it's incredible."

Miyuki Kazuya looked at Raiichi Todoroki's appearance and said, "This guy didn't make a single move to avoid it."

"Good shot, Lin Xiao!"

"Let's keep going!"

Miyuki gestured: "The next ball is this one."

The code for the forkball was given.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Miyuki Kazuya thought to himself, "It doesn't matter if it becomes a bad shot, I'll just shoot low."

"call out!"

"boom!"

The white ball shot out again, drawing a strange arc in the air.

Upon reaching home plate, the ball's trajectory plummeted downwards, like a fighter jet losing its engine and suddenly sinking.

"Snapped!"

It sank! Amazing, absolutely amazing!

"nice shot!"

Raichi's eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly, "That's fantastic! That goal!"

"I must win!"

Miyuki Kazuya thought to himself, "If I don't make a move now, I'll miss my chance. I've been observing all this time."

I thought he would swing the bat aggressively.

I didn't expect them to stay silent all this time.

Since the opposing team has placed this batter as the first batter, they probably won't adopt a waiting-for-the-pitch strategy like Mingchuan did.

In the break room of Yakushi High School, Raizo Todoroki shouted, "Raiichi, smash them!"

Sanada Shunpei chimed in, "Don't wait for a bad shot! If we don't play now, we'll miss our chance!"

"You bastard, you stole my banana!"

Raizo Todoroki turned to Raiichi Todoroki and shouted, "Get to base, Raiichi!"

"Otherwise, the order of strikes I arranged would be meaningless."

Miyuki thought to himself with certainty, "Two strikes!"

"Strike him out!"

"Swing your arms freely!"

"Use your ball speed to overpower him!"

"Your ball control was really good today! In a word, it felt great."

Having accumulated experience from several matches, Lin Xiao's understanding of the game has reached a new level.

Lin Xiao now exudes an innate sense of confidence, not just blind confidence, but a clear feeling about his ball speed and ball control.

The third goal.

Lin Xiao raised his arms high again, his eyes filled with determination and confidence.

"call out!!!"

"boom!"

The white light shone intensely on home plate, as if it wanted to devour everything.

The ball's afterimage as it flew out.

At home plate in an instant.

Thunder City was suppressed by this aura, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He was surrounded by Lin Xiao's imposing aura and felt an unprecedented pressure.

"Whoosh!"

Thunder City was able to withstand the direct pressure and confront it head-on.

His body began to move, and he swung the metal bat in his hand with all his might, trying to knock the ball away.

However, the white ball had already flown into the airspace above the bat, at a speed that exceeded his expectations!

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Strikeout!"

Thunder City stood frozen in place, exclaiming incredulously, "Wow...so fast! I actually missed!"

Raizo Todoroki was also stunned: "What?! Raiichi struck out!"

"It seems I really underestimated Seido."

Looking at the situation on the field, Shunpei Sanada analyzed, "Although it's a team that hasn't made it to Koshien for several years, this year's batting lineup and pitcher's mound lineup are incomparable to those of ordinary high schools."

"Besides, the ace on the mound right now is a rookie, and the former ace hasn't even played yet."

These three shots forced Hong Lei City to feel the power of Lin Xiao's throws, the intense pressure and suffocating feeling. This match was incomparable to the previous ones.

Raichi Todoroki thought to himself, "Dad really wasn't lying to me! This baseball powerhouse is amazing, I'm sure I'll get to play in the next game."

Raichi Todoroki said to Miyuki with a hint of resentment, "I'll definitely beat him in the next round!"

Sweat dripped down Kuramochi's temples and seeped into the edge of his helmet.

Lin Xiao's words, "If you can't get to base, go practice on the second team yourself," still seemed to echo in my ears, carrying an undeniable weight.

The pressure was almost tangible, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

Compared to Lin Xiao's pitches that tear through the air, the pitches of this pharmacist's number 10 pitcher seem like slow-motion replays.

The white ball drifted over, appearing to Kuramochi like a giant target suspended in mid-air.

"Too slow, get out!"

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the stadium.

The ball transformed into a streak of white light, shooting at high speed into the depths of the right field and slamming heavily onto the ground.

A clean and crisp double.

Kuramochi sprang into action like a cheetah, lunging towards second base. He slid to a base and came to a steady stop, his chest heaving with heavy breathing, the pressure from before instantly dissipating.

The number 10 on the mound unconsciously adjusted his hat, clearly caught off guard by the extra-base hit that came at the start of the game.

"They were kicked out so quickly!"

"Baseball powerhouses are simply incomparable to ordinary schools!"

Ryosuke Kominato stepped into the batter's box, a signature slight smile on his lips, showing no sign of nervousness.

He watched quietly as the spinning ball, which wasn't moving very fast, flew closer.

Another swing, precise and elegant.

The white ball passed through the third baseman's reach and rolled along the ground toward the corner of left field.

Another double.

Kuramochi ran past third base with ease, his steps never faltering, and stepped onto home plate, giving Seido the first point.

"We've scored a point!"

The rest area of ​​Seido instantly erupted in excitement.

Ryosuke stood calmly on second base.

"Jun-senpai!"

Shouts of encouragement for Jun Isashiki could be heard from the stands.

"nonsense."

Izashiki growled, spat, and gripped the baseball bat even tighter.

"We won't lose if it's a points-grabbing contest, so be prepared, you bastard!"

He swung the bat with all his might, as if he wanted to blast the ball out of bounds.

A solid collision.

The ball let out a sharp whistle and transformed into a sharp straight line.

However, it flew straight towards third base, and Thunder City caught it with almost no movement.

"Smack."

The sound of the baseball hitting the glove was dull and harsh.

A poorly timed flat shot catch.

When Izashiki returned to the rest area, he slammed his bat on the ground in frustration.

"What bad luck."

Lin Xiao sighed softly.

"Kid, don't think I don't know you were the one laughing the loudest just now!"

Izashiki roared.
