"These guys aren't even as good as beasts!"

In the rest area of Shonan High School, Uesugi Ken muttered.

This sentence is difficult to understand if you are not a person who was at the top of the middle school soft ball league back then.

Ken Uesugi is reduced to a substitute in the current Shonan University. It looks like he's already a small supporting character whose name is almost forgotten.

I think when I was in middle school, Uesugi Kenna was a famous king-level person.

Known as one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, he is the man who stands at the apex of the entire Soft Ball League.

It's hard to imagine, what did this man go through after he entered high school?

However, the glory of his middle school years cannot be faked.

Although he is now just a rotation pitcher on the team, his status is equivalent to Kawakami of the Aodo High School baseball club.

But his vision and bearing are definitely not comparable to ordinary students.

See if a person is really mature? Sometimes it doesn't have much to do with the person's IQ talent.

It mainly depends on what you go through.

If you have experienced it, then you may have understood it very early. And if you haven't experienced it, it's useless to live a few more years.

Although his talent is not top-notch, the Uesugi Ken in front of him is a man who has really stood at the top of the country.

If these events are described in detail, at least a personal biography of 100,000 words can be written.

We're not going to waste that time......

To put it simply, Ken Uesugi once dominated the country when he was in middle school.

The school he was at was called Yokozuna Middle School, and when Sawamura led the Ishishiro Middle School baseball team to just rise, Yokozuna Middle School was the biggest obstacle to Ichi L High School.

In order to defeat Yokozuna, Sawamura Eijun can be said to rack his brains with his friends before finally coming up with some solutions.

Even so, Sawamura has only dominated the country twice. There was another time in the middle, and he was won by Yokozuna.

In the days when Sawamura, the big demon king, dominated the country, it was not easy to snatch a championship from them.

And Uesugi Ken and his friends were stunned to do it.

And it's very well done!

Not to mention, before they became famous in Sawamura, they had already dominated the country.

There is an essential difference between players who have entered a national competition and those who have not played a national competition.

These distinctions are not technical, but mental.

How to play in the face of adversity, how to eliminate tension in the face of big scenes?

These things can never be learned unless you experience them yourself.

Even if Uesugi Ken is in the current Shonan University, his strength is not dazzling at all. But his vision and pursuit are far from being comparable to ordinary players.

Let's just say that the ability to read the game is not comparable to those players on their team.

And that's not the most important thing.

As a direct competitor of yesteryear, Uesugi Ken arguably knows Sawamura better than anyone.

Sawamura's expression when he just got off the field, he is too familiar!

It was a confident expression.

No matter what kind of ideas Shonan universities can come up with in the end? Eijun Sawamura? are confident to suppress each other.

Only at such a time would Sawamura show that expression.

Assertive!

It's not the kind that comes out on the surface, but the one that comes out of the bones.

The current Sawamura gives people an overall feeling of self-confidence.

It seems that he can easily face all the offensives of Shonan University and definitely not lose points.

Of course, at this moment, there are not many people who think this way. Except for Uesugi Ken himself, there really don't seem to be many.

After all, Kawaki, who had just been replaced before, performed so well, and everyone was subconsciously full of confidence in Kawaki.

They believe that the two-point gap is not completely insurmountable.

Uesugi Ken is also helpless about this, if he is asked to make a judgment on this matter. He can only say that those supporters of his team are naïve.

How naïve!

I really thought the Great Demon King was so easy to overcome. If Sawamura Eijun is such an easy opponent to be solved, then he doesn't know how many times he has been solved by others in middle school, how can he dominate the country twice?

You must know that the Akagi Middle School baseball team at that time could be said to have nothing except for the super ace of Sawamura Eijun. Most of the players are the kind of kids who have just learned baseball for a short time, and it is unrealistic to want to dominate the country with their strength.

The reason why this unrealistic thing finally came true was because of the existence of Sawamura's trump card.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the trump card of Arisawa Village. Whether the Akagi High School baseball team can be formed is still a question, let alone become the national hegemon in the future.

In the face of Sawamura Eijun's initiative at that time, there is no one who is not admired by all the players in middle school. In addition to the affectionate nickname of the Great Demon King, in fact, those top soft ball league players once thought of another nickname for Sawamura in private.

That nickname is very affectionate, which not only expresses the love of those players for Sawamura, but also expresses the good relationship with him.

This nickname is just two words, beast!

A little translation, it's not human!

In their opinion, Sawamura is simply not a person.

That's why they gave Sawamura the nickname of a beast.

Later, everyone got acquainted with it and got in touch with Sawamura, so someone told Sawamura about this ridiculous nickname.

Sawamura didn't get angry after hearing this, but laughed at it.

"I didn't expect you to practice yourself like this, admire and admire!"

Although everyone said that Sawamura was a beast, there was no malice, and it even brought a little praise.

But to tell you the truth, these two words are definitely not good words.

Sawamura's brain wasn't squeezed by the door, was it? Otherwise, how could they say that they were being cheapened?

Sawamura shook his head unhurriedly, and then explained in detail.

"You say I'm a beast, how can you fight with me in the future? What if you accidentally win me? More beasts than beasts! If you lose to me, you're not as good as a beast. Even if there is a victory or defeat for each other, the final result is just like a beast! ”

This explanation is absolutely 666.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Since then, whenever a team loses to the Akagi High School baseball team, everyone will collectively ridicule it.

"It's not even as good as a beast, what else can you do?"

Of course, this phrase is not widely circulated. The only ones who really knew the inside story were the most popular stars in the soft ball league at that time.

Among them is Ken Uesugi, Sawamura's main rival.

He knew too well the strength of the Great Demon King, and what was revealed now was only the tip of the iceberg.

Everyone thought that Shonan High School would be able to usher in a miracle.
