“Strike, Batter Out!” On the field, the umpire shouted.
Looking at the three consecutive swing of the batter of Asakura, the batter was striked out by Fukuoka Masato, after which Tanimori coach finally smiled.
Yes, he was indeed the trump card, and he had also attained those two points.
Two batters were out, after the next one, he must rest well. Tanimori thought while rubbing his back.
Compared to Tanimori coach, Fukuoka Masato’s face was very serious.
Looking at the batter on the batting area, with his hat dangling, and a mask on his face, Masato’s intuition told him that this guy was odd.
Although the angle of his batting posture and grip seed to be very standard, he didn’t know why he felt an unexplainable pressure coming from this person.
Perhaps it was just an illusion, in order to test this, Fukuoka Masato threw a ball.
“Foul.” Cried the umpire.
Is this fellow really a batter? Even hitting such an obvious ‘ball’. Masato increasingly thought that this guy has a problem.
No matter what, I’ll just throw a fast one. Masato threw a straight ball.
“Foul.”
With the sa result, Masato began to be wary. Although it was a foul ball, after all, he did hit it. Logically speaking, that ball should have been impossible to be hit.
Masato afraid of his enemy, and threw another fast straight ball.
“Foul.”
“Foul.”
With this two consecutive foul ball, the other players finally began to notice this guy.
“Coach, who is he? He’s quite fierce, he can unexpectedly hit the ball thrown by Fukuoka Masato.” Seeing the player hit the ball from Pang Mu team’s ace pitcher, Rumi speedily asked with amazent.
“An odd person.” The bearded coach definitely said.
“Foul.”
Fukuoka Masato panted and looked at him a little. Is this guy a monster? Even hit his ball every single ti.
In fact, he had seen his coach’s gesture and understood what he ant. But he was just unwilling to do so.
Finally, he decided to do it according to his coach’s instructions. And threw such a soft ball.
rcy? I didn’t receive such feeling for such a long ti. Masashi smiled bitterly in his heart.
“Ball.” Fortunately, this guy didn’t hit it.
After several consecutive balls, this guy would finally walk to first base.
Looking at the ‘Masked Rider’ standing motionless in the batting area, the Pang Mu catcher couldn’t help but say to him: “Hey, why aren’t you going yet?”
“He isn’t pitching yet?” He makes a low and deep sound from inside his mask.
“You’re kidding, right? You’ve been sent to first base.” The catcher couldn’t believe it and looked at him.
“Can’t I hit again?”
“This student, there’s a limit in joking. If you don’t leave, then I’ll give you a violation.” The umpire stood up and finally couldn’t tolerate it anymore and opened his mouth to say.
“This is really complicated.” He said sothing to himself, then carried the bat away.
Did he really not understand the rules? The catcher hearing his words, raised a doubt in his heart. But he quickly rejected the idea, playing so good, how can such people not know the rules.
It was the 8th inning, and Pang Mu school was leading with a score of 2:1. At this ti, it was the Pang Mu team’s turn to attack.
After the end of the previous inning, Pang Mu team picked up the pace and attacked, trying to enlarge the gap of the score as much as possible.
At this ti, the players on the field finally understood how terrifying this ‘Masked Rider’ was.
Whatever the ball was, whether it hit the ground or a fly ball, as long as they went to the centerfield position, he would catch it and imdiately block them.
And afterward, would suddenly appear in front of the Pang Mu players making them unintentionally avoid his position.
From the beginning of the change from defense to offense, after the appearance of the strange man, the ga had beco too subtle and strange.
Unexpectedly, Asakura school actually had such a hidden monster in their team. Hopefully, we don’t bump into him during the Koshien trials. Tanimori coach secretly prayed on the sidelines.
“Pow!” Fukuoka Masato finally succeeded in hitting again.
The score beca 1:3, Pang Mu leading by 2 points.
After the exchange of offense and defense, it was Asakura team’s turn to attack.
Although because Asakura team had three excellent players center fielder, second baseman, and pitcher, their defense seed to be pretty good. But was obviously far worse when it ca to them attacking.
Rumi was not genuinely able to play the ga, after the center fielder Yamaguchi was replaced by this ‘Masked Rider’. But because Rumi lacked power, even though she was able to hit the ball, she wouldn’t be able to send the ball flying, so she wasn’t able to beco a good batter. Because of an injury, the centerfielder Yamaguchi had to leave, so now all eyes were stuck on the ‘Masked Rider’ body.
“Ball!” Because Tanimori coach didn’t want to cause any trouble, he instructed Masato to let him walk. Although unconvinced, he just followed the instruction.
“Ball!”
Masato was about to throw another ‘ball when he saw the eyes of the odd man.
He sneered?
Suddenly, a strong anger filled Fukuoka Masato’s brain. This guy dare to laugh at ?
Disobeying the coach’s instruction, Masato threw the fastest ball of the whole ga.
“Boom!” It was a different sound from the hits that was happened before, and then the ball flew far out.
At that mont, Fukuoka Masato just felt like he was being poured with cold water.
“Ho run, it’s a horun.” Looking at the scene, so people suddenly shouted loudly.
Indeed a ho run, and people even saw that the ball flew over the outfield fence, but it still continued to fly.
For a ti, everyone cried aloud. It wasn’t only just the Asakura players, even many of the audience went into a frenzy.
This long-distance ho run, not to ntion high school students, it was also difficult even for professional players to do such a hit. But, in this practice match that no one had actually cared about, a person was actually able to do such a hit.
It felt like a person in school during physical education was suddenly able to break a world record, people just couldn’t believe it.
After going through the three bases, the Masked man finally stepped on the ho plate, went back and placed the bat on the shelf. And the person just continued to walk normally.
In this way, to everyone’s surprise, the 8th inning ended.
When the 9th inning began, all players of Asakura school was like they had taken stimulants. Finally, the third batter was struck out, Pang Mu didn’t have the power to get a point from Asakura again.
Soon, it was Fukuoka Masato turn as the fourth batter, but looked first at the center fielder position where the ‘Masked Rider’ stood, and then walked wryly towards the batting zone.
Rumi also knew that they were in a critical mont, as long as her pitch isn’t hit by Fukuoka Masato, then they still had the chance of winning the ga. Because there was still that ‘fellow’.
So she made a move that surprised everyone.
With four ‘balls’ the ace of Pang Mu team, Fukuoka Masato, walked towards the first base.
From the beginning up to now, everyone saw that this little pitcher of Asakura no matter who the batter was, would always challenge them and throw a straight ball. This ti, she used such a trick, as she was very confident on the ‘Masked Rider’.
After being walked, Fukuoka Masato coldly snorted and left.
When it was Asakura team’s last ti to attack, everyone couldn’t wait for the first few players to hurry and get striked out. The person they wanted to see was this ‘Masked Rider.’
Finally, it was the odd person’s turn, and hundreds of people’s attention looked at the freak’s play.
When he had stood at the batting zone, the audience vigorously applauded right away, the scene was very exciting.
Fukuoka Masato on the opposing side, he listened to the coach’s words, throw ‘ball’ at him again?
To be honest, he felt very awkward. Previously, after the person got a ho run, all his pride disappeared. Subconsciously, he thought that this plan would be the best. But he couldn’t afford to lose face.
He was Pang Mu team’s ace baseball player and was known as the most likely to lead the team to Koshien, who had allowed them to get third place in the past. If he were to throw ‘ball’ to opponents in such a practice session, his reputation would take a very big blow.
He was embarrassed at the ti. He saw Tanimori coach standing on the sidelines making fierce gestures.
I know, troubleso old fogy! Fukuoka Masato was too lazy to think, and threw a ‘ball’ again.
Thus, he threw such an obvious ‘ball’. Even though it was a ‘ball’, the ball that the ace player threw, was a speed that ordinary people weren’t able to hit.
“Boom!” Beyond everyone’s surprise, a nightmarish sound ca out again.
Fukuoka Masato had a kind of shocking feeling.
“Grand Slam, Ho Run!” If the crowd went crazy before, this ti, they went absolutely crazy.
Making a ‘ball’ into a horun? Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes.
The bearded coach had different ideas from the youthful kids, it was as if he could see the door to Koshien, where a few beauties were wearing a sexy bunny outfit, bowing towards him and said: “Welco.”

“Sorry, stomach was a little uncomfortable. How’s the ga going?” Masashi went back to Kazumi and asked.
Kazumi looked at him with a very strange look, then said: “Tie, 3:3 at the end of the ga.”
“That’s the way to go.” Masashi nodded and no longer spoke, just looking at the Asakura players on the field huddling together.
Kazumi turned around and looked at him again, then gently said sothing: “Brother, because of an upset stomach you wanted to wear a mask?”
Hearing her words, Masashi made a wry smile, “Can’t you sotis be like a normal girl and not be so smart?”
Kazumi didn’t answer and asked him: “Where’d you get the mask from? Are you always carrying it? This kind of suspicious person can only be perverted.”
“I got it from the infirmary. Hey, don’t tell anyone, not even Rumi, because that kid just can’t shut her mouth close.” Since the ti at the Kendo club, where he had defeated Ogata, he was often asked by Omura-sensei to join the Kendo club over and over again. If the bearded coach of the baseball club knew who the ‘Masked Rider’ was, he might get bored to death by both of them.
“Brother, you’re more like a monster. Is there sothing you can’t do?” Kazumi said with a sigh.
“Hey, this is a complint from a sister to her brother right? To be honest, I really don’t understand baseball, so many rules, sick and tired of them all.”
The previous owner of the body Hirota Masashi, besides playing the ga with the airplane, he didn’t really play baseball.
“Brother, I found out that you favor Rumi very much,” Kazumi said.
“Oh, actually I just wanted to try and give it a go. After all, I haven’t played the ga before. But also gradually found that it was a really fun ga.”
