Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

In the bottom of the third inning, it was Seido High School's turn to attack.

As Teito High School's ace pitcher, Mukai Taiyo's pitches were so familiar to Lin Xiao that he was used to seeing them all before.

With his keen insight and excellent hitting ability, Lin Xiao successfully helped the first three batters return to home plate, further extending the score advantage.

At this point, the outcome of the match was essentially a foregone conclusion.

As the match progressed, after playing five games, the total score difference exceeded 15 points, and the training match ended early according to the rules.

The atmosphere was completely different at Stadium B.

"Why is Teito playing against Seido's first team?" The Komashiro High School team members were very dissatisfied with playing against Seido's second team.

They felt slighted, and their faces showed displeasure.

During the match, Sawamura completely lost his way.

His pitches were too "sweet," making them easy for the opposing batter to hit, and the ball was repeatedly knocked away.

In the top half of the second inning, the score had reached 7-2, with Komashiro High School in the lead.

Seeing Sawamura's poor performance, Rei Takashima reluctantly made the decision to substitute him, and Sawamura was taken off the field.

Sawamura lowered his head and slowly walked down the pitcher's mound, his heart filled with disappointment and self-blame.

He knew he had performed poorly today and had let everyone down.

However, Kominato's defense in today's practice match was outstanding, successfully blocking the opponent's attacks on multiple occasions.

He possesses the same level of skill as Ryosuke Kominato.

office.

Minister Ota was intently looking at the data report in his hand, his expression serious and focused.

"The batting average in this practice match was an astonishing 6%."

There was a hint of surprise in his voice, "He was still using a wooden stick."

He shook his head slightly, seemingly incredulous at the data.

Rei Takashima, who was standing nearby, also came over, her gaze falling on the data report, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"If we only look at the practice match data, Kominato already meets the requirements for entering the first team," Minister Ota continued, his tone revealing certainty.

Meanwhile, at the Seido High School baseball field.

The final match for the second team is about to begin.

Although it was a match between second-tier teams, there were still quite a few spectators watching.

"The opponent is the Black Hall, yet they dare to send their second team onto the field," a spectator exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Coach Kataoka is really bold," another spectator chimed in, a look of admiration on his face.

"However, this also shows that the coach has a lot of confidence in the players from the second team."

"This should be the last match for the second team," a spectator wearing a hat guessed.

"Judging from the contestants' expressions, everyone is showing great enthusiasm in order to fight for the last spot."

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was extremely tense.

The members of the Seido Second Army stood on one side of the field, their eyes firm and full of fighting spirit.

They knew this match was crucial for them, their last chance to make it into the first team.

Lin Xiao saw Zaizen and realized he had completely forgotten about this important matter.

She quickly stood up and went to find Chris.

Lin Xiao's expression was serious; he had already realized the Black Man's intentions.

His heart tightened suddenly, and his expression instantly turned serious.

"Oh no, I completely forgot about this important matter." He was secretly annoyed and quickly stood up, running towards the cowshed.

As Lin Xiao ran, he pondered in his mind how to explain the situation to Chris.

He knew Zaizen Naoyuki's character and was also aware of the importance of Chris's injury to Seido High School.

As a "prophet," he did not want to see Chris get injured again, nor did he want Seido High School to lose such a powerful fighter.

Inside the cowshed, Chris was sitting on a bench, warming up.

His gaze was calm, focused on his movements.

Suddenly, he felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw Lin Xiao with a serious expression.

"Chris-senpai, Naoyuki Zaizen knows about your injury, and he has already told his teammates."

Lin Xiao said seriously, his eyes revealing worry, "They will definitely try to target you, so you have to be careful."

"Huh?" Chris looked at Lin Xiao with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of confusion. "How did you know?"

"I overheard it by chance."

Lin Xiao shrugged, a helpless expression on his face. "Of course, you can pretend you never heard of it."

Lin Xiao knew in his heart that he had conveyed all the necessary information.

If Chris doesn't believe him, there's nothing he can do.

But he still hoped that Chris would take this matter seriously.

After all, even though Chris's injury hadn't healed, his presence was indispensable to Seido High School.

A thoughtful look flashed across Chris's eyes.

He frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something.

"Zaizen, how come your personality hasn't changed since junior high?"

"They'll do anything to win."

Chris felt somewhat disappointed with Naoki Zaizen's approach.

They were pitching and catching partners in junior high school, fighting side by side on the baseball field and sharing a deep friendship.

But now...

Naoki Zaizen, however, was aiming for victory in the competition.

He felt somewhat disheartened that they would exploit his injuries.

However, Chris quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I understand, Lin Xiao."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

His eyes revealed a firm resolve, as if telling Lin Xiao that he would not let Zaizen Naoyuki's conspiracy succeed.

Lin Xiao looked at Chris and felt a sense of relief.

He knew that Chris was a smart and strong person, and he believed that Chris could handle the challenges ahead.

"That's good, Chris. I believe you can protect yourself."

"I also believe you can lead the team to victory," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

......

"salute!"

"Nice to meet you!"

The competition has officially begun.

During the match, Chris indeed encountered a fierce attack from the Black Hall.

They kept targeting his injury, trying to disrupt his rhythm.

But Chris was not affected by their tactics. With his rich experience and excellent skills, he defused the crisis time and time again.

Meanwhile, the other members of Seido Second Army, under Chris's leadership, united and fought tenaciously.

They proved to the Kuroshikan that the Seido Second Army was not to be trifled with, through their strength and perseverance.

The match was extremely intense, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to give an inch.

Ultimately, Seido's second team won the match thanks to their outstanding performance.

Chris proved his strength and value once again in this game.
