At noon, the students of the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club, who had been practicing all morning, finally got a half-hour break to eat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a long queue of hungry people at the ordering counter in the canteen of the hostel, especially the dozens of people who did not complete the test in the morning, and they returned to their seats to nibble and chew wildly after ordering a large meal for three people in succession.

"Delicious~"

"Ahh Finally got the pork chop sandwich of my dreams, yes!! ”

"No, I'm not full yet, Auntie is sorry for you, I still want another curry rice, thank you!"

The ordering counter is bustling with activity, and so is the dining table.

No, first-year Kasugayun is venting his bitterness to his friend Watanabe Hisachi: "Oh my God... If I had known, I wouldn't have gone with you to the cowshed. This face is ...... I said Watanabe-kun, my face is a big shame today! ”

"Eat." Watanabe Hisatochi looked very calm.

This made Kasugayun so anxious that the top of his head was on fire: "Eat a ghost, Watanabe-kun, what the hell do you say I'm throwing this ball!?" Why did you turn at the end of the pitch when you threw a speedball, it shouldn't be! ~”

Hearing this, perhaps everyone can guess that the practice pitching of the spring cloud in the morning did not go well.

And in fact, it's not just not going well, it's just a joke......

It is said that in the morning, when Kasugamo was pulled into the pitcher training ground by his friend Kuchi Watanabe into the cowshed for pitching practice, the first ball gave the catcher who had to catch the ball for Kasugamo to get off the horse.

It's clear that it's a fastball thrower.,As a result, not far in front of the catcher's glove.,Suddenly turned a corner and turned straight up.,'Bump' just hit the mask worn by the second-grade second army student who was the catcher for Kasuga Cloud.,Scared Mitsuhashi Ishitaro sat on the ground as soon as he was scared!

Well, if you say that Kasugamo threw his arms with all his strength for the first time, the head was not well controlled! ~

Then, Kasuga threw 7 balls in a row, all of which were speedballs, but the ball was right at the beginning, but before the fast-forward base, they all changed the route without exception, and flew out in all directions by turning corners.

This made Ishitaro Mitsuhashi, who had to be a catcher, embarrassed to catch the ball in the morning, and even paid the price of being hit by the ball.

In the end, Kasugamo only threw 10 balls and didn't dare to continue to throw, and Mitsuhashi Shitaro was also confused by Kasugaun's peculiar pitching, obviously throwing a fast ball, how did it become a ball similar to a slider in the end!

For this reason, Mitsuhashi also specially matched the hand shape of the ball with Kasuga, as well as the posture of pitching, and after some comparison, Mitsuhashi still couldn't find out why Kasuga's pitching was like this, and hastily ended the training and went to the side to find the seniors of the first army to ask for experience.

As for Kasuga, after this, he could only stay depressed by the cowshed all morning, and could only watch his friend Watanabe Kuchi practice pitching in a relaxed and happy manner.

After a while, several second-army pitchers who were around the cowshed to discuss the strange things about Kasuga's pitching still couldn't find out why Kasuga's ball had changed, so they invited Koji Nakamura, the ace of the team, who was selecting pitchers for the first team of the baseball club, and asked him to watch Kasuga's pitching from the side.

But after a few balls passed, even Koji Nakamura couldn't figure out what was going on, so Koji Nakamura left after recording the entire action process of Kasuga's cloud pitching with a video camera.

As for where he went, he didn't explain it to these people in the cowshed, which made everyone in the cowshed cast strange eyes on Kasugayun who threw weird balls, and made Kasugayun feel furious.

"Alas...... I don't think I'm fit to be a pitcher! ~"Although Kasugamo doesn't particularly care about whether he does it or not, it's impossible to say that he doesn't have a little disappointment in his heart.

At this time, Watanabe Hisachi comforted beside him: "Probably, but Kasuga-kun, the ball you throw is very powerful, maybe it's just that there is a problem with your throwing action somewhere, and it should be no problem to find out and correct it!" ”

“~~~”

Kasugamo was speechless, in fact, at this time he had little hope that he would be able to be a pitcher. Thinking of finding the three baseball diaries that his sister stuffed into his duffel bag last night, he was filled with loss in his heart for a while.

Originally, he thought that with the diary left to him by his father in the spring, coupled with his good motor nerves, he should be able to be a pitcher anyway. But today he was disappointed!

………………

On the other side, at this time in a room on the third floor of the hostel.

Koji Nakamura, the ace pitcher of the first team in the baseball club, invited several main players in the first team, as well as coach Kazuo Kawano, into the room and let them watch the pitching video he recorded for Kasuga Cloud in the cowshed in the morning.

The duration of the video was very short, only a few minutes, and after a while, everyone watched it all.

But for some reason, everyone still watched the video as many as 5 times in a row, and after the last video was played, Koji Nakamura turned off the TV and asked the coach Kazuo Kawano in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Coach Kawano, is this kid throwing a quirk ball!?" ”

"Yes! ~" Kazuo Kawano thought for a moment with his hands on his chest, and then replied in the expectant eyes of everyone: "Look at the ball path shown in the video, it should be!" ”

"Wow~~"

As soon as they heard the coach's affirmation, the students in the first army in the venue were surprised.

Kobayashi Qingzhi squinted his eyes and said, "Quirk ball road, I really didn't expect this monster to appear in the first grade of our school!" “

Koji Nakamura's cold face also showed a hint of surprise: "En! ~ At that time, I was watching this kid throw the ball, in fact, in terms of action, it was not worse than others, but when the ball was finally released, I didn't know how hard this kid worked, and he actually threw the ball away! If there's a hitter in the strike zone, maybe this kid will throw the ball in someone's face! “

"So, this kid is still a dangerous guy! ~ What else do you say, we must not let him be a pitcher! Jun Ogata, the strongest fighter in the first army, said.

"How can it be done, Quirk Ball Luye~~ Thousands of pitchers can't come out of a terrifying existence, what a pity if you give up like this!" Kobayashi Kiyoshi objected at this time and refuted it.

At this time, the head of the baseball department, Hideyuki Tanaka, who had not spoken, spoke: "Quirk ball road, this is a famous big killer in the pitcher circle, because the ball path can be ever-changing, and it is the most suitable for the pitcher to control the ball path, so it is also called the king of change." Although the action of this kind of pitcher is basically the same as that of other pitchers, the difference in action, rhythm, strength and angle of the ball leads to the ball thrown by the same kind of pitcher in two types of pitchers, which is the characteristic of quirk ball road pitchers.

In the video just now, the newcomer named Kasuga obviously does not throw his arms like Nakamura's folding arms when throwing the ball, but uses a round rotation arm throw, coupled with his naturally soft arm joints and sensitive control of power, so that he can throw such a few fastballs that are not speedballs.

And this kind of round rotation arm throwing action, the average high school student will not understand, and only a college baseball player who is a level higher than us, or a professional golfer will know how to use it! Based on the above points, it seems that this first-year student is not simple! ……“

After saying this, it is not difficult for anyone to hear that Tanaka Hideyuki's words have a little bit of a good impression of Kasuga.

And the coach's next sentence surprised everyone present when they heard it: "In the afternoon, arrange for Spring Cloud to enter the cowshed to continue to practice throwing, and if you confirm that his ball is a quirky ball, then pull him into the pitcher team for special training!" “

"Nani!? ~~~”

………………

The camera shifts, and at the same time that everyone in the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club is training together on Mt. Tozuki's Inuja, a game has just ended at the Shirasugi High School baseball field in Tozuki Ward.

The two sides of the game were Shirasugi High School at home against Totsukurano High School, a team from the same district that came to challenge, and the final result of the game was that Shirasugi High School defeated the Tozukurano High School baseball team that came to challenge by 6 points.

At this time, when all the people from Tozuki Sakurano High School got on the bus and left, the candidates for the Shirasugi High School baseball team who were still on the field all had unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Among them, especially the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, a first-year student named Akihisa Inuya, had an even worse expression on his face at this time.

Inuya Akihisa is a guy with shoulder-length hair and a parted hair, who looks like a street gangster. But I have to say that this person's baseball level is really powerful, and soon after entering the baseball club, he defeated a group of regular pitchers in the original baseball club with his spicy and ruthless ball path and sat in the position of the number one ace pitcher in the baseball department.

It can be said that this is a dangerous pitcher with an absolute red alert for the hitter on the opposing line.

At this time, Akihisa Inuya, who had finished throwing a ball on the pitcher's mound, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and thought secretly, "Hehe...... It's not fun, I don't know if tomorrow's opponent will be stronger! ”

At this time, the manager of the team walked into the stadium with a folder and came to the rest area, and shouted to everyone on the court: "Hey~~ Everyone, your performance today is very good, and the school leaders have very high expectations for you after watching your game!" I hope you can do well in the next Winter Regional Trials! ”

"Yo Xi, no problem!"

"Haha~~ Leave it to us with peace of mind!"

"That's right! ~~”

Seeing that all the students on the court were full of energy, and there was no fatigue at all after a football game, the manager was even more excited about the future of the team at this time.

So he announced loudly with joy: "Okay, tomorrow's practice match opponent is a neighboring team that has just come to our side for training on Inuya Mountain, the Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club!" We will take the bus up the mountain to the meeting place at noon tomorrow, and start the game at 3 p.m. on time at the stadium next to the Rock Lodge at the top of the mountain. ”

"Oh! ~~" All the students on the court shouted excitedly again.

However, at this moment, when Inuya Akihisa, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, heard that the opponent of his team's practice match tomorrow was Aoba Dodai High School, an inexplicable expectation immediately appeared on Inuya Akihisa's face: Aoba Dodai...... Isn't that the school that Watanabe guy chose!? Hehe~~ It's been a long time, Hisachi Watanabe. ”
