Kenta left the dugout and walked to the umpire at home plate. He quickly greeted the umpire and the white-haired boy in front of him.
Without much delay, the umpire flipped a coin and, after seeing the result, looked at the white-haired boy and said:
"Your choice."
"We'll field first." – Sugawara said with an arrogant smile, then turned and began walking back to his team's dugout.
"Tch!" – Kenta gritted his teeth when he saw the white-haired boy's smug expression. He was irritated, but he quickly calmed down. He would wipe that arrogant smile off his face on the field.
Shun left the dugout, ready to bat. The boy was extremely focused, preparing to face the left-handed ace who had crushed him last time. However, when Shun looked at the mound, he was surprised.
