The training ground after school was full of people.

In addition to those who were originally going to participate in the ministry, there are many other students here today.

The baseball club's benches, which are usually used for rest and watching practice, are full.

As for the others who didn't get their seats, they either stood and watched from the edge of the fence on the training ground, or sat and watched on the lawn slope outside the fence.

In addition, even members of the photography department, who are usually more interested in girls' groups than boys, appeared here today with long guns and short cannons.

The third floor of the teaching building, a room on the west side.

The girl with golden double ponytails is propping her hands by the window, her blue eyes are staring at the direction of the playground, her eyes are slightly ecstatic.

On the easel behind her, there was a half-painted painting, as if waiting for someone to finish it.

However, its owner obviously didn't have such a mood at this time. On the contrary, listening to the almost one-sided cheers coming from outside, the girl frowned in dissatisfaction.

So he turned on his phone and typed a paragraph into the email.

"Don't lose to that person, take me seriously!"

But after hesitating for a while, she deleted this sentence verbatim again, and put away her phone in a irritable way, wondering what she was thinking.

"Why do I have to do this kind of thing? It's obviously his own fault." Ying Riri grumbled and scolded an idiot in a low voice.

Back on the training ground, Ishikawa, who had put on a white baseball uniform, squinted at Yusuke Kato and said.

"I have to say that although I don't like you as a person, it's still worthy of praise for the fact that you can make appointments on time."

After a pause, he continued.

"Of course, even if you don't show up today, the consequences won't be much better. After all, in order to prevent you from running away, I made a special trip to the photography department and promised to give them a chance to interview."

"So if you do that, the student council elections will be out of the question. Be lucky now, because then you will experience despair."

Saying that, Ishikawa spread his five fingers and made a boom gesture to Kato Yusuke.

Facing this scene, the teenager just asked directly: "Compared to those, I just want to know when the game can start?"

Ishikawa smiled and said, "Before that, I want to ask, do you want a one-on-one match with me, or do you want to play a game like an official match?"

After a brief thought, Yusuke Kato looked up at the opponent and said, "I choose the former, but the outcome is not calculated by points, but until the other side voluntarily admits defeat."

"You said no points? Do you really know what you're talking about?" Ishikawa sneered.

Yusuke nodded, "Ah, I know very well."

Staring at the face opposite, there was a chill in the boy's eyes.

Seeing this, Ishikawa narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"If that's the case, then so be it. With the limit of nine balls, you will be the first to defend, and then we will switch offense and defense.

Do you think there is a problem until one of them admits defeat? "

(ps. The reason for the nine goals is that as long as three thugs are eliminated, this half of the game is considered a loss for the attacker.)

Kato Yusuke shook his head and said no.

After a while of preparation, the two quickly stood on the offensive and defensive positions.

Yusuke Kato stood on the pitch as the pitcher, and Ishikawa stood as the batter in the hitting zone next to the plate.

For the sake of viewing, Ishikawa also specially arranged a fully armed catcher and a referee. The former squatted behind the plate and was responsible for catching the ball, while the latter stood behind the former and was responsible for watching the ball.

When Ishikawa, who was wearing a helmet and holding a bat, took his place, there was a burst of cheers from the field, and many girls were shouting his name to cheer for him.

And he himself waved to the crowd in response.

In contrast, Kato Yusuke, who was standing on the pitch, looked a little shabby.

Not only do they not have special uniforms, but even the baseball gloves they wear are sponsored by Yamaguchi.

The boy in a short-sleeved shirt stood there, his strong forearms extended from the cuffs, and his skin was very fair.

Off the field, Yamaguchi, Takei, Yoshiko, and even the four-member baseball club were shouting something with their hands beside their mouths in a loudspeaker.

It was just that he was drowned in the support of his opponents, so that they could not hear their voices at all, and it could only be seen from his expressions that he seemed to be cheering for him.

The girl with a single ponytail sat quietly beside Kako, staring at her with black eyes, like a lake in autumn.

Further to the side, Kato Yusuke also saw Shiyu-senpai who had only met during the lunch break, and the other party was looking at her with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.

Occasionally, she would say something to Megumi who was beside her.

After noticing his gaze, Shi Yu smiled and waved.

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved involuntarily, and then he nodded to them as well.

"Come on when you're ready." Ishikawa swung the bat around and moved his body.

The catchers and referees are also ready.

The venue fell silent.

So Yusuke looked back.

Holding the rigid baseball made of cowhide in his handshake, he raised his hand and threw the ball toward home plate while recalling the rules of baseball in his mind.

Ishikawa didn't swing.

"Crack!" The ball fell into the catcher's glove.

A brief silence.

"A bad ball!" the referee shouted.

Thinking of Kato Yusuke's actions just now, Ishikawa couldn't help but laugh.

The opponent's posture is not so much pitching, but simply throwing the ball.

At a glance, it is obvious that it is an outsider.

The baseball coach, who came to serve as the referee, couldn't help shaking his head.

Although the ball was caught by the catcher just now, it did not pass the strike belt, but passed the batter's chest and reached the shoulder position.

So it was judged as a bad ball, and Ishikawa scored one point.

Because the step of running the bases was omitted, the two simply calculated the scores directly in a crude way. If it is not a foul, Ishikawa will score if it hits, and Yusuke Kato will score if it misses.

There was a burst of cheers from the field.

"Ishikawa-senpai is high~~!!"

"Come on~~!!"

The level of excitement even had a taste of a school festival.

"Hey, I said." Takei pushed Yamaguchi aside, "Is Kato sure it doesn't matter?"

Yamaguchi touched the opponent's leg with his leg a little irritably, and replied that he didn't know.

Even the baseball quartet, who had been quite imposing just now, was a beat lower at this moment.

The fan-shaped training ground blew a breeze, with the smell of July.

The teenager looked up at the blue sky, and then whispered to himself, "Is it a little bit worse?"

Although he said that, there was no tension on his face at all, only calmness appeared.

Seeing this scene, the referee behind the catcher nodded secretly.

"In terms of psychological quality, it's not bad."——The man couldn't help but think.

Amidst the many mixed sights, the teenager took the ball thrown by the catcher and began to prepare for the second pitch.
