Before Shun could continue complaining to the old man, the system notification sounded in his head again.
[DING]
[User's new fingers fully integrated! The user can check the functions of their new fingers in the system nu.]
"Huh? Functions?"- Shun thought, confused, as he opened the system nu to check this new feature out of curiosity.
[New Fingers
Functions: Increases the user's grip strength. Maximizes the break effect of all user pitches.
Special functions: Grants the user the talent to learn any pitch.]
"Damn!" - Shun exclaid in surprise. He could hardly believe he had received so many benefits from a single mission.
---------------
Shun stood on the mound, staring down the batter in front of him. The batter had a strong, tall figure, but when Shun looked at his face, all he could see was a blurry, indistinct image. Without worrying about that, Shun began his windup and threw the pitch.
WOOSH
PAH
"StrikeOut! Ga Set!"
"Yeeeaaahhhhhhh!" - Shun roared as the umpire, whose face was also blurred, called the end of the ga. But instead of his teammates rushing the mound to celebrate with him, they started disappearing, as did the packed crowd in the stands, leaving Shun in an empty stadium.
[DING]
[Congratulations, you have won the Bronze Tournant!]
[You have received a bronze mystery box for winning the Bronze Tournant.]
"Huh? You've got to be kidding !" - Shun complained loudly. After all his hard work, he finally managed to win all three matches of the bronze tournant in the arena, but his reward was just a simple bronze mystery box, which he received every day for completing his daily mission.
[Tch! What were you expecting, kid? You only completed the easiest tournant! Of course, if you complete the higher-level tournants, you'll get better rewards!] - The old man's voice sounded in Shun's head, making the boy's face turn sour. That old man really knew how to make all his hard work feel insignificant.
Shun took a deep breath to calm himself, a practice he had adopted frequently over the past year. Otherwise, he likely would have already cursed the old man's family lineage by now.
Shun then entered the arena mission area, heading straight to the legendary mission he was trying to complete.
[Contact Hitter (Legendary)
Get 100,000 hits in arena gas (92,064/100,000)
Get 10,000 hits in right field in arena gas (5,743/10,000) Get 10,000 hits in center field in arena gas (10,000/10,000)

Rewards: 2,000 coins, 1 legendary mystery box, 1 legendary batter skill, and a random grade SS elixir.]
"I'm running out of ti. I need to finish this mission soon" - Shun muttered as he saw he still had a few thousand more hits to complete the mission.
Without realizing it, spring had passed, and the hot sumr sun was now shining over Tokyo, which also ant that the one-year deadline to complete the legendary mission was nearing its end.
[If you know that, stop wasting ti and get back to playing! I didn't let you skip training just so you could slack off, you brat!] - The old man's irritated voice sounded in Shun's head.
"Shut up, you old bastard!" - Shun shouted in frustration. He had only taken a short break to check the progress of his mission, but the old man was already on his case.
Since the mission's deadline was approaching, the old man had excused Shun from his Training Center workouts so that he could focus on the arena gas and accumulate enough hits in ti.
Over the past few days, Shun had looked like a video ga addict, constantly playing the arena matches. But perhaps because the old man missed seeing his body in the Training Center, he didn't stop pestering Shun. The boy couldn't even take a peaceful bathroom break without hearing the old man's irritating voice telling him to get back to playing.
Shun exited the arena mission area and returned to the empty stadium. Quickly, the transparent screen he had been waiting for appeared.

[Arena Tournants]
"Arena Tournants!" - Shun said without wasting any ti.
[DING]
[Please select which tournant the user wants to participate in]
[Arena Tournants:
Bronze Tournant: 235 passes
Silver Tournant: 3 passes
Gold Tournant: 1 pass
Legendary Tournant: 1 pass]
"Silver Tournant!"
[Do you wish to spend 1 silver pass to enter the Silver Tournant?
Yes/No]
"Yes!"
[DING]
[You have entered the Silver Tournant in the arena]
[Tournant rules:
-The tournant difficulty will be adjusted according to the user's Overall at the Silver level.
-The tournant uses a knockout format, aning you must win to advance to the next round.
-64 teams compete in the championship, the user must win 6 gas to win the tournant. The difficulty of opponents increases slightly with each ga.
-The user will only receive a reward if they win the tournant.
-The match will be fast-forwarded in the user's perspective, returning to normal speed only during tis when the user is batting or fielding.
-The team's performance will depend on the user's performance. In every ga, the user will have an opportunity to win through their own plays, but the number and quality of these opportunities will vary for each ga.]
"So, it's six gas this ti, huh? I wonder how much harder the Silver level is compared to the Bronze?" - Shun thought as he read the rules, which were quite similar to those of the bronze tournant.
[Do you wish to start the first ga of the Silver Tournant?
Yes/No]
"Yes!" - Shun heard the system's voice again and quickly confird.
[Please select the position you will play in the ga:
-Right Fielder
-Pitcher]
"Right Fielder!" - Shun chose reluctantly.
Personally, he wanted to play every ga as a pitcher, but when he did that, the gas took much longer than when he played as a right fielder because the match was only fast-forwarded when he wasn't making a play. As a pitcher, he spent an entire inning making plays.
Besides, even though he didn't like to admit it, he was currently a much better right fielder than pitcher, so he had a better chance of winning the Silver Tournant by playing right field.
Suddenly, Shun's vision changed as the empty stadium beca filled with cheering fans, and various players with blurred faces took the field.
