'We'll meet Ichidai on third round right?'
'Yes, we need to take special note on their ace manaka'
'Then for Ichidai we wil-'
'Urgent!' The first string who were discussing the tactic got interrupted by a second year scout.
'??'
'Ichidai got knocked out! They lost!'
'!!'
'To whom?'
'Yakushi High school'
The senpais look at each other. The unexpected news catch them off guard.
'Is there any video tape?'
'There is'
***
Ichidai lost is a big shock towards the powerhouse school in West Tokyo, they are busy scouting info from the audience after they got the news.
'It's true that Ichidai was strong but the Yakushi batter have a scary swing. They practically can hit a home run a dozen time especially the little guy with a scar on his face'
'For worse, Ichidai's ace Manaka also got injured in the process'
'How can this?'
'Their roster also not that deep but all players can hit long'
***
'They must be in shock right now, Raichi if you hit home run I'll let you eat banana all you want'
'Really? Then I'll just need to face Inajitsu right? You say that only Narumiya worth it!'
'I think seido also worth it, watch out for them'
The father and son duo discussions received a mix reactions from Yakushi's players.
'God only knows how can they look down on seido'
'Well they have a pretty good reasons to be this confident right Sanada-senpai? '
'We just need to face Seido head on, with our lineup I don't think we will lose' That speech lit the fire in the players deepest heart. They basically want to tear down seido if they're given the chance.

Seido's players focused their attention on the TV. Watching how Yakushi defeat Ichidai.
'Woah that prick with scar surprisingly can hit home run' Jun comment as his usual gangster like behavior.
'Todoroki Raichi, he is a first year like the three of you' Chris share his note after he get the information.
'Won't he blast Sawamura and Furuya pitch as they lacked control?' Ryou-san grinned evilly.
'Eikk aniki?!' Haruichi got goosebumps seeing his brother's smile.
'What do you mean blast senpai?!' Furuya and Sawamura offended face intrigued them.
'Their Ace Sanada Junpei also one of the obstacles we need to face if we want to score'
'Well we just need to win right senpai? We can't let them stand on our way winning this championship' Mio state a matter of fact. He grinned.
'Besides, I trust my dear senpais can handle this much' The senpais was stunned then they burst into laughter.
The tension build up from nervousness facing the unknown vanished instantly.
'If our ace say so then what's there to be afraid of? Our goal doesn't change anyway' Yuki declared boldly.
'It's good to have a mindset like that' The coach suddenly appeared.
'Tomorrow we will start with Furuya. I will make a change according to the game. Players should get ready'
'HAI!' They shout in unison.
