Sawamura became known as the Demon King
In particular, he was hyped up by the media as an Ace pitcher and fourth-batter.
According to what the media said at the time, Sawamura's middle school career was good enough to be made into a manga
Such a statement successfully aroused Mishima's curiosity.
Which boy didn't want to be like a manga protagonist? Not to mention someone like Mishima who likes to show off!
After he became curious about Sawamura, he collected a lot of information about Sawamura.
After reading it, the hot-blooded Mishima boy made such a sigh of jealousy.
"Why it is not me?"
Cool, so cool, Sawamura was just everything Mishima imagined himself to be in the baseball world.
His crushing pitching strength and getting all kinds of records! Also often winning hits key at the most important time, although the number of home runs is small, each one is full of weight.
At the same time, he is also a big Star. It is said that the income from advertising endorsements is huge…
Envy, jealousy, and admiration!
Such emotions flooded Mishima's heart.
Because he admired Sawamura so much, he not only collected information about Sawamura but also joined the Demon King's Guards anonymously.
Why Anonymous? As a well-known player in the hardball league (never heard of him), he also felt embarrassed to join a fan club of a Softball League.
The Players of Yakushi thought that Mishima wanted to fight against Sawamura, but they didn't know that Sawamura was Mishima's ideal player.
Mishima is Unable to describe his mood right now, he just stared at Sawamura blankly.
'You know what? I've been watching you!'
The bat in his hand was raised high, and Mishima stared at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.
Miyuki, the catcher, also gave Sawamura a sign.
'Although the Batter in front of us is not as strong as Raichi, his strength should not be underestimated.'
'Just be careful!'
Sawamura nodded.
Sawamura knew Mishima, although the two did not have much friendship in the future. Nevertheless, Mishima became a very famous Batter in Japanese professional baseball.
It is said that some Major League teams have also invited him, but because of the relationship between Raichi, Mishima did not go.
He wanted to be the home run champion in Japan first, and then go to the big leagues and beat Raichi.
It's just a pity that his professional baseball career encountered a great rival.
Mima Soichiro!
Mima Soichiro held the title of home run king in Japan for many years.
Mishima, and many other players, were kept under his shadow.
In general, Mishima's fame was still large. Even Sawamura, who was in the Major League, has heard a lot about him.
Therefore, Sawamura would not be careless about such an opponent.
Moreover, Sawamura's current feeling is very strange.
He just looked at it like this. In the future, the stars who would become famous in the future would appear in front of him one by one, and then they would be beaten black and blue by him one by one.
'Cool!'
The more famous the opponent will be, the better Sawamura feels.
Cough, cough, of course, he will not tell anyone about this.
Likewise, he didn't know Mishima, whom he had no relationship with before, was now his die-hard fan.
'Don't think because I admire and look up to you, then I'll show mercy. I, Mishima, am going to be the pillar of Yakushi High School!'
Whoosh!
Sawamura threw the first ball, and Mishima swung the bat. After the small white ball was hit, it flew far beyond the boundary.
Ping!
"FOUL!"
This result shocked both sides.
'As expected of the Demon-King, I really can't see the starting point of throwing at all when standing on the strike zone.' Yuta was awed in his mind.
The catcher, Miyuki, was also taken aback.
He really didn't expect that Mishima could still find the rhythm of the strike when he swung the first ball.
'When Sawamura faced the third-year Senpais of Seidou. Even when they had information in hand, it was difficult to find the rhythm of swinging on the first pitch without seeing Sawamura throwing a ball.'
Surprised, He took a deep look at Mishima.
'Is this guy a Batter no less than Todoroki?'
Ping!
"FOUL!"
Ping!
"FOUL!!"
Sawamura's pitching showed no mercy, but Mishima threw his ball Out of bounds repeatedly.
Mishima was amazed in her heart while swinging!
'Amazing!'
'Looking at it from the strike zone, the ball appears at the plate in the blink of an eye.'
'After arriving at the plate, there is also a slight break.'
'And this is the Change-up and the Moving ball that disrupts and jams the batter!'
'You really are a Demon King!'
'That's why I kept staring at your back.'
'Now it's time for me too!'
'I will not lose!!'
Mishima Yuta's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.
The catcher, Miyuki's face was a little ugly.
'This threat is unusual!'
'No choice, let's unlock the Straight Fastball!'
His face turned cold, and he decisively gave Sawamura the sign.
Straight Fastball!
Sawamura was stunned for a moment when he saw Miyuki's sign. Isn't it too soon?
Although Mishima's skills really surprised Sawamura, in general, that's it. It is not very difficult for him to solve.
There is no need to unlock the Straight Fastball right now, right?
Moreover, after Mishima, there is still Raichi.
Despite such doubts in his heart, Sawamura followed Miyuki's judgment and pitched the ball decisively.
Whoosh!
The white ball, like a rocket that is constantly being accelerated, rushing to the top of the home plate.
On the strike zone, Mishima Yuta's eyes were terrifyingly bright.
His intuition told him that it was coming, it was coming!
The Demon King's Sword - Straight Fastball!
'It is here! Right now!'
In the past two years, Mishima has no idea how many times he has watched Sawamura's game videos. He was not joking when he swore to Todoroki Raizou that he already had the best strategy to deal with Sawamura.
The plan to defeat Sawamura, this young man doesn't know how many times he simulated it in his mind.
'After dreaming about it so many times, now is the time for me to do it!'
'Bring it on!'
Steeling his heart and clenching his teeth, Mishima Yuta swings the bat with all of his strength.
Buzz!
The low sound of swinging the Bat represented the determination of the young man.
It's just a pity that the bat didn't touch the ball.
Before Mishima's swing was halfway through, the white ball had passed over the top of the plate.
SNAP!
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
In the catcher's position, the corners of Miyuki's mouth twitched up, revealing a bit of a smile.
'Although it's a bit overkill, isn't this the time to better show the power of Sawamura?'
'Let Yakushi feel despair, Maoh-kun.' (Maoh = Demon King)
On the Box, Mishima's face paled.
Nevertheless, there was a hint of joy inside.
Being crushed by Sawamura's tyrannical strength, not only did not make him despair but also made him a little enlightened.
For a moment just now, he felt that he almost defeated Sawamura. That feeling left him completely empty. He finally achieved the goal that existed in his heart for two years.
This feeling cannot be described in words.
There is joy, but it is also accompanied by a touch of disappointment.
When Sawamura crushed him with tyrannical strength, all these emotions in Mishima's heart disappeared.
Sure enough, he is still far away and needs to work harder to pull Sawamura down from the throne of the Demon King.
Two Outs, no one on base.
When Mishima returned to the rest area, he saw all the Players from Yakushi High School, looking at him in shock, as if they never knew him.
"What's wrong?"
Mishima looked at everyone suspiciously.
"Wow, so cool!"
"It turned out you can fight with the Demon King without losing the wind."
"For a moment just now, I even thought you could beat him."
"Mishima, I always thought you were bragging, it turned out that I was wrong."
Mishima was confused and looked at these guys in confusion.
Sanada on the side commented impartially: "Through our previous analysis, only Raichi can keep up with Sawamura's pitching in the first round. I didn't expect Mishima too… This is really an unexpected gain."
'Change-up and Moving appeared in the first inning and his bat reached them. This is not something that can be done by reading the information once or twice. This kid Mishima seems to be working very hard in private.' Raizou nodded.
"However, thanks to him. Sawamura's several Breaking balls are almost unlocked. Raichi, you must go to base!"
"Third Batter, third baseman, Todoroki-kun."
Todoroki Raichi Vs Sawamura Eijun!
Under the hype of such a duel, tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were all boiling.
"Sawamura, Sawamura!!!"
"Demon King, Demon King!!!"
"Dong dong, dong dong!!"
"Hit it, Raichi!"
"Smash it out!"
"Raichi, Raichi!!!"
