'It must be because of my skill showdown.' He thought.
[Correct. User currently has SS grade pitching thanks to Skill showdown]
Ken nodded and was about to thank Mika for her input, until his face froze.
'Wait, did you say SS grade? Showdown is only meant to increase my grade by 2, meaning I should have S+ at most right?'
He suddenly turned pale. If his Limit Break skill had triggered, it would add another 2 grades onto his pitching. However, there was a drawback to this skill which would decrease all his grades by 1 for 5 minutes.
'I can't afford to have my pitching drop to an A+ against the Shinjuku opening batters…'
Yet in the next moment, Mika's words filled him with shock.
[User has pitched 100mph and has been upgraded to S+ Grade Pitching]
'Eh?'
Now that he thought about it, he remembered hearing a notification upon pitching the last ball. Since he was on the mound though, there was no way he'd open up the system window in front of so many people.
