"I..."
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
Seeing Sendo was angry, Haruno felt even more guilty.
She wanted to explain, but felt that it was insincere.
In order not to let Sendo mistakenly think that she was shirking responsibility, in the end Haruno chose to apologize directly.
"Don't apologize to me, you should apologize to him."
Sendo pointed to Sawamura, who was sitting on the ground, and said.
"Uh oh."
Haruno quickly turned around.
"I'm sorry!"
She bowed deeply to Sawamura and apologized.
Sawamura Eijun waved his hand indifferently: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay."
Haruno asked worriedly, "Is it really okay? Why don't you go to the infirmary?"
Sendo also said to Sawamura: "If it hurts, in order to prevent dark injuries, it is best to go to the infirmary."
Sawamura shook his head and said, "It's no big deal, don't go."
"It's okay."
When the words fell, Sendo looked at Haruno: "He has a good temper and doesn't care about this. But if your tire hits someone with a bad temper, you might be bullied. So pay more attention next time. Also, if you do things clumsily, don't be greedy."
Hearing this, Haruno nodded repeatedly: "I... I will pay more attention!"
"What are you doing, Haruno? The bus is about to start!"
Then, on the school road outside the baseball field, there was an urging voice from a senior.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I'll be right there!"
Haruno quickly responded.
"That... I'll go first."
After saying that to Sendo and Sawamura, Haruno ran away.
"Yoshikawa-san just now paid attention to running with tires," Sendo said, turning his head to look at Sawamura. "What do you think? If you want to be an ace, how should you use a tire?"
Without saying a word, Sawamura Eijun ran directly to the activity room of the baseball club and took out a tire from it again.
And then—at one end of the rope, two tires were sheathed.
At the other end, Sawamura's abdomen was tied.
"With tires, my strength will definitely rise like a rocket!"
"Whahaha!!"
Sawamura Eijun said, and couldn't help laughing.
The laughter was loud.
Even the members on the bus could hear it clearly.
"Should I say it's Sawamura?"
Sendo shook his head with a smile.
If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't use two tires.
After all, it is easy to exceed the upper limit of the body, leaving an imperceptible dark injury.
It's fine if that dark injury doesn't occur, but once it does, the future is likely to be affected.
Even if the career isn't ruined, it takes a long time to train again.
And after training, it takes even longer to restore strength.
So dark wounds are a very troublesome thing, and it is best not to create them.
Therefore, Sendo would definitely not use tires.
After all, the risk of injury is too great.
Of course, this was also because Sendo had a golden finger that could become stronger while lying down.
If not, in order to gain great strength, he might also be like Sawamura Eijun, using multiple tires for exercise.
"Don't worry..."
"Look ahead..."
"As long as you keep trying..."
"I will definitely enter the First Team..."
In front of Sendo, Sawamura, who was running with two tires, muttered with a determined face.
Meanwhile, in the quarterfinals of the Spring Tokyo Metropolitan Competition:
Seidou High School vs Ichidaisan High School.
The first half of the 1st inning.
Seidou High School was on the attack.
At this time, the situation was very unfavorable for Seidou.
Because it was already 2 good balls!
If one more appeared, Miyuki would be eliminated!
"Very good!"
"2 good balls and 1 bad ball!"
"Two outside balls in a row have diverted the batter's batting idea!"
"At this time, you should use the inside corner to slide the ball at high speed!"
"Suppress him with the ball you do best!"
The catcher of Ichidaisan's junior year confidently gave a code word to the pitcher.
The pitcher nodded slightly.
Immediately following the catcher's instructions, he threw a high-speed slider that flew into the inside corner!
A slider is a breaking ball with a speed second only to a fastball.
The path is very similar to a straight ball, and it isn't until it's close to the hitter that it quickly moves towards the inside/outside corner.
"Very good! It's the ball I want!"
The catcher of Ichidaisan High School saw the baseball approaching Miyuki Kazuya, suddenly moved towards the inner corner, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.
But right then!
Miyuki also waved the metal bat!
Bang!
Accompanied by a crisp hitting sound, the white baseball instantly rushed to the top of the outfield.
And after a long flight, it hit the outfield fence!
"Uh-oh!!"
"Hit the outfield fence!!"
"Kazuya Miyuki of Seidou High School hit a grand slam home run in the first inning!!!!"
The on-site host roared excitedly.
In baseball, a home run is a type of hit in which a hitter circles all bases.
In addition to the hitter reaching home plate, he can also score.
All runners already on base will also return home.
And Miyuki hit a grand slam home run—a home run when there are three people on base.
In other words, the three on base, plus Miyuki Kazuya, all four returned to home plate.
This means—Miyuki's hit brought 4 points to Seidou High School!
So when the host's excited voice sounded, the audience also cheered enthusiastically!
"Wow... That's awesome!"
"He actually hit the inside-corner slider that far!"
"Is this guy Miyuki Kazuya?"
"That guy is only in second grade, right?"
"Then again, Miyuki's strong batting power isn't even in the fourth spot, he's actually sixth—Seidou's batting lineup is too terrifying!"
The audience celebrated.
The cheerleaders of Seidou also happily shouted slogans.
Only the catcher of Ichidaisan High School looked confused.
He...
He felt extremely secure with that pitch...
But it was actually seen through...
And...
It was also hit directly to the outfield fence...
This...
This guy's long-distance hitting ability is just too monstrous...
