"Haha!" Alan laughed. "So thrilling…! Makes me want to jump in between!" he thought, his heart beating wildly.
"Their strategies are indeed remarkable." Mir observed, "Marking defense and offense equally with utmost concentration. They might tackle highschoolers easily this way."
Seles nodded. "Hehe…" Nidou chortled proud.
"Hell's devastation!" Gabriel uttered throwing the ball. The ball vanishing at the point of throw, Elias squinted his eyes stepping forward and reading the flow. Revealing itself slightly above his waist, Elias hit a forward defense. Gabriel grabbing the ball headed back.
"Looks like Elias stopped his Hell's devastation too." Aaron observed.
"Right, however, he can't hit it back freely. It's still confusing to determine the ball's revealing time and the height it reveals itself at." Kazuna explained.
"But that would depend on the amount of 'Spin' Gabriel puts in the ball right?" Orion guessed.
"Exactly." Evan concurred.
Not claiming a single run in the entire over, Seraph clapped his hand against Gabriel taking the ball next.
"A new baller now…" Senri informed. "The speed star from the middleschoolers side. Let's see how he progressed." Nagi shoved his glasses up.
"Best of luck, Sera, Sera! You can do it!!" Adam waved from the cow corner. Seraph smiled heading back twirling his ball.
Glitter surrounding Aigou who took his batting position, a light voice whispered in his mind, "Be careful, Aigou. Despite being a pace ball returner you must be very agile to return his deliveries." Aigou smiled, "Alright."
Seraph running to the popping crease bowled harshly towards Aigou. Thrown with the speed of a bullet the ball passed Aigou, straight into Feng's gloves in a split second. Seraph standing straight headed back. Aigou stunned gasped,
"What the…?" Senri and Kazuna blinked.
"Did you even see that?!" Orion pointed baffled.
"Was he wearing his gauntlet?" Ren inquired.
"Nope, seems like the Infrasonic Glint he bowls without his gauntlet on, can be bowled with his gauntlet on. This one measured up to Wave 1. Who knows how many he can deliver more." Nagi informed.
"If that's the case… then his real Infrasonic glint…?" Senri turned around baffled.
"It has exceeded old records." Zachariah declared.
"Oh my god…!" Aaron gulped speechless.
Rauf stared at the pitch silent as Noah rested his head on Ren's shoulder observing attentively.
"Wohoo!! This is crazy cool! Captain Seraph rules!!" Xander cheered clapping his hand with Aryan's.
Seraph grabbing the ball rushed towards the pitch again. Aigou grinned pumped up, his heart beating wildly. The ball cutting through the crease with same rampaging speed once again went over Aigou.
Aigou smirking on the chance bended low on his back, raising his bat he aimed for a long stop uppercut. The ball flying over Feng and Xavier headed over to the boundaries. Gabriel running to stop instantly halted as the ball crossed claiming a six.
"Tch!" Kenzo clicked his tongue.
"Haha!" Aigou laughed raising his bat up. His hairs flaring up all of a sudden, turned blazing red.
"Huh?!" Feng gasped baffled beside Xavier who squinted his gaze, "His hair color is changing?!" Seraph glanced at him seriously.
"There it is! Aigou's Door of Radiance!" Orion pointed relieved as Isa smiled.
"Bring it on! Bring it on!! I am all pumped up!!" Aigou demanded jumping up and down. Elias exhaled. "Don't tell me we just pushed a 'Don't Push' button?" Mikael asked troubled.
"Seems so…" Cassiel concurred, "Aigou Mir Yuaan's famous technique, Door of Radiance has been successfully activated."
"Now what is that?!" Hadi asked speechless.
"Just like Pinnacles and Realms, there are also Doors to boost strength and personal potential. And from those many infamous Doors, Aigou has one known as the 'Door of Radiance'." "That door has three stages and it seems he has unlocked one of them, though I don't quiet remember its name…" Damian tried to recall.
"It's called Radiance of love." Poseidon interrupted, "It unlocks when the player is feeling uncontrollable thrill and fun playing the game even if being under pressure. His hairs changing their color is the evidence. After activating it, the user's attention reaches his peak to 100% in his field of expertise."
"Huh?! Doesn't that gives us a huge disadvantage coming from his side?" Ebraham referred to Aigou.
"Indeed it does… however, Seraph isn't that dense." Luka assured smiling confidently.
Seraph once again rushed towards the pitch, stepping behind the popping crease he bowled towards Aigou who played a flick shot taking a run. Adam grabbing the ball threw it back.
"Hm…" Alan pondered, "Aigou is playing from right side when Elias is left handed. They are indeed confusing them. But looking at how Seraph is even if Aigou is countering him Elias shouldn't be…"
Seraph smirked, his eyes changing its caring gaze into a mischievous one. He tossed the ball up and down. "It's Seraph's 'Cleve Persona'." Poseidon studied, Seraph's instant change in behavior. Revealing his right arm, Seraph threw his gauntlet on the ground.
"Was he allowed wear that?" Mir questioned.
"Yup, it's a part of his body. He took my permission before playing." Nidou replied.
"Though it won't be allowed in real matches. You better correct you ways, Nidou." Mir warned.
"Haha! Who says he's wearing them?" Nidou teased pointing at the pitch.
The Gauntlet which was thrown on the ground had all of a sudden vanished into thin air. Aigou and Elias blinked stunned.
"HUH?! Where did it go?" Ren sat up confused.
"He was never wearing it to begin with." Zach informed.
"The hell?!" Orion grabbed his head utterly confused.
"It was that boy." Rauf turned to Ezekiel.
"Him?!" Aaron pointed.
"Indeed, seems like he can create illusions of things present in reality as well." Haruf informed.
"The weight in Seraph's arm would be the same as wearing his gauntlet however that Gauntlet is not real." Isa explained.
"The real one is right beside that old man…" Alan said.
Mir glancing beside Nidou traced the gauntlet covered in a brown cloth. Yusuf gasped stunned, "What are they…?"
"Hehe, human aliens." Drake remarked not even surprised.
Seraph nodded at Ezekiel who showed a perfect sign. Rushing towards the pitch he bowled to Elias. Elias ready tapped his bat. 'Roaring' activated Aigou stood ready to take runs. Swinging the ball, Seraph left it whispering, "Infrasonic Glint: Wave 4!" The ball with soundless speed crossed the pitch playing against even vision. "Oh no! It isn't high, it's aimed right…" Elias read however, time too short he kept his leg before the bat as the ball was returned on the straight drive unable for the result to be concluded.
"Out, it's an Out!!" Seraph claimed. "Out!! Out!!" Feng concurred heading over.
Aigou baffled headed over to Elias who exhaled taken aback.
"It's an out." Kenzo stood before the umpire as he gestured a square box, for a decision pending. "Haha! Great!" Ezekiel patted his back as Adam hugged Seraph. "Don't worry, it is a
The Ultra-edge screen recapping the last delivery. The middle schoolers encouraged each other.
Cassiel standing up gulped, "The Ultra-edge is showing the hit on his pad very clearly, no sound created with the bat's impact. Moreover, Seraph did bowl inside the crease, giving no chances for a no ball while looking at the wicket impact… The center bail would clearly crash if the ball had not been stopped!!"
Alan closing his eyes smiled raising his middle finger up in midair as Mir, Seles and Yusuf glanced while Nidou smirked, "It gone…"
As soon as he said those words, the umpire lifted his finger up showing an Out! Frenzy took over the middleschoolers as they rose from their seats cheering, "YAHOO!!! Bravo!!" "They did it!!" Theo clapped. Joy casing the boys on the field, Seraph jumped in midair while the others embraced him.
"There goes the second one!!" Feng whistled laughing as Kenzo ruffled Seraph's hairs proud.
"You rock, Seraph!" Heber congratulated beside Azazel who clapped.
The middleschoolers around the entire stadium applauded.
Seraph tracing Rauf's sight pointed a gun's gesture at him. "BANG!!" he grinned victoriously. Rauf nonchalant glared back.
Kenzo walking over to the highschoolers pavilion recalled, "Remember what said before I left?" his expression smug.
Isa twitching brow remembered Ren's words, "You think you've read and now know everything about us just by collecting all our data and witnessing our overall change in just a single over? Haha! You're gravely mistaken! Our real strength… is so great, that it will crush you all into smithereens! Sheets and files as small as this can't dare to even measure it!" he clenched his fists beside Zach, Kazuna and Ren who frowned.
Kenzo ignoring their reactions turned around to the middleschoolers. "Hah… losers." he murmured delighted.
