After Seidou High School's game against Yokohama-North High School ended, there was an uproar among the participating teams in the Kanto Conference, and even among all fans in Kanto who care about high school baseball.
To tell the truth, Sawamura's name has been spread through the TV media because of his middle school achievements, and they have heard of it more or less.
Even if they can't recall Sawamura's name, they know more or less about the nickname and deeds of the 'Demon King'.
This is also a matter of course, the miracle created by Sawamura who led Akagi is legendary! It's just that this legend has little impact on the high school baseball world.
In the end, Sawamura played in the softball league after all.
It seems that although the 'Demon-King' is famous, it has not really reached the level of fame.
This perception has caused many people to analyze Sawamura, although he has some skills, but if you really want to say that he is as magical as everyone said, this may not be possible.
With this, the media and the high school baseball community naturally lost so much interest in which high school Sawamura entered. (In fact, if you really want to investigate, it is not difficult for the pervasive reporters to trace the whereabouts of Sawamura.)
And all this changed after Sawamura participated in the first official high school game in his life!
In the first round of the Kanto Conference, Sawamura wore the uniform of the Seidou High School baseball team for the first time in the game of West Tokyo Seidou High School against Kanagawa Yokohama-North High School.
In the game, Sawamura had three hits, including a homer and a three-run RBI. The batting is perfect!
At the same time, he also pitched three innings, striking out all of Yokohama's strong batters, including the strong Furano.
In the end, he helped the team score 9:5 and won the victory!
On this day, Sawamura's name resounded throughout Kanto again!
The news of the Demon King's return spread throughout Kanto. It's just that this time it's no longer the small middle school baseball world that's been shaken.
But high school baseball.
The first to suffer the brunt of the impact are the teams that won the first round of the Kanto Tournament.
After the Kanto Tournament, they had to carefully study the information on Sawamura and the players of Seidou High School.
You don't know if you don't study it, but you will be shocked when you study it.
In the game with Yokohama, Sawamura Eijun only used ordinary Straight balls, three Change-up balls, and a throwing ball that was suspected to be a Straight Fastball.
It's amazing to have such a performance!
But after reading the materials of Sawamura's middle school days, they realized that they really underestimated this up-and-coming devil.
In addition to those three kinds of ball paths, there are at least two very valuable Breaking-ball in Sawamura's hands.
One is a weird moving ball, and the other is a ball that is suspected to be Cutter's ball.
Sawamura's own ball speed is not slow, and he has almost 140km. (A spectator has measured the fastest 138 kilometers per hour.)
In the game, Yokohama's players are very devoted. After sending Sawamura to the sky, they didn't reveal too much information about Sawamura, especially the pitching form where you can't see the ball.
Ball power, ball speed, variation, pinning strength, and even defensive skills to lead the team…
Sawamura has everything a good pitcher should have.
The more they studied Sawamura's information, the more they felt like he was a mystery.
Especially after watching some videos of his middle school game, this feeling is even deeper.
As expected of the 'Demon-king', Sawamura really showed his strength and authority over all opponents in the middle school competition.
Not to mention the worries of Seidou's future opponents, the performance of the organizers of the Kanto Tournament is also very excited.
On the homepage of the official website the next day, three big words appeared.
[He Is Here!]
When you see this title, can you restrain your curiosity and not click in to take a look?
Of course not.
So countless curious fans clicked in.
Then these fans saw the second page, which was also three big characters.
[Who is he?]
A clickbait, this is. At this time, as a small-time fan, it is very impulsive to close this interface. But such a mysterious setting still makes people want to read it, so they click on the third page.
[He is him!]
Now, the fans really had the urge to smash the phone in a rage. Even if you mess with people, it's not like that.
Fortunately, the computer interface is very aware of current affairs and automatically jumps to the next page before the owner smashes them with one punch.
[He is the 'Demon-King'!]
Then there is Sawamura's whole body photo and Sawamura's introduction.
[Sawamura Eijun: Graduated from Akagi Middle School in Nagano Prefecture, position pitcher, and outfielder.]
Then came a long list of jaw-dropping honor introductions and competency introductions.
Finally, back to the topic.
[He Is Here!]
The Demon-King in his middle school era joined the famous Seidou and challenged high school baseball.
[The first game, dazzled the audience!!!!]
[Fire!]
Sawamura is on fire, and so is the homepage of the Kanto Tournament.
This matter, even on the news of many TV stations, has long been known.
Even in Seidou, many people just learned about the original glory of Sawamura.
Seidou High School, Baseball Club, Seidou's Spirit.
When Kuramochi came back, it was already nine o'clock.
The day after tomorrow will be the second game of their Kanto Tournament. If they win, they will have to prepare for consecutive battles. At that time, they will not be able to go back to school.
Since the end of the first game, Kuramochi has received a lot of calls from girls in the same class.
As a teenager with normal hormone development, Kuramochi would have enjoyed this.
But after receiving a few calls, the young man became angry.
"Who is Sawamura, I don't know!"
With a 'pop', the phone fell to the ground.
Kuramochi waited angrily at the door, waiting for Sawamura to come.
With a creak, the sliding door was pushed open, and Sawamura walked in.
By the time he finished training, took a shower, and returned to the dormitory, it was already half past nine.
Considering that the day after tomorrow would be the second round of the Kanto Tournament, Sawamura did not dare to train too late.
"Masuko-senpai hasn't come back yet?"
Sawamura glanced at the situation in the room and asked Kuramochi.
In the last game, Masuko was completely out of shape when he was hitting, and he missed the opportunity to connect the line several times. Otherwise, Seidou High School would have crippled Ino, the Pitcher of Yokohama, way earlier than that.
Now he is probably punishing himself again!
In fact, in Sawamura's view, this is normal. Just like he is best at dealing with Ino, Ino also has completely restrained some Batters. For example, like Masuko!
The kind of Breaking-ball that can be controlled to the corner is really suitable to deal with a Batter like Masuko.
"Senpai hasn't come back yet, isn't our big star back?"
Sawamura looked up and saw Kuramochi's unfriendly face.
I don't know if it was his delusion, but in this life, after the two met, Sawamura felt that Kuramochi was ruder than in the previous life.
'Could it be his rebellious phase?'
