Chapter 224: Seido Ace HR

~7 min read 1,301 words

Bang! Bang!

After hitting dozens of balls in a row, Huangqian Yangyi was already sweating a little; once the pitching machine stopped, Miyuki happened to walk in.

"Why do I feel like I have an upset stomach?"

Miyuki sat to the side, clutching his lower abdomen.

"Heh, that's the food you made yourself." Huangqian Yangyi put down his bat and picked up some water to take a sip.

Just then, at the adjacent stations, two boys began batting at the same time.

The baseballs shot out by the pitching machines were hit away by the two of them without missing a single one; the banging sounds of metal colliding rang out in succession, and Huangqian Yangyi and Miyuki turned their heads to look at the same time.

"Not bad, the batting form is very standard, and the rhythm is quite smooth too," Huangqian Yangyi said.

"Indeed, although they are just balls from a pitching machine, being able to hit like this is still quite a high level," Miyuki nodded in agreement.

Among these two, the tall black-haired one in particular looked to have plenty of power in his swing, and while the blond boy's batting was also good, for some reason, Miyuki felt a sense of incongruity.

After hitting more than ten times in a row, the pitching machine stopped. The blond boy turned his head to look at the position of Huangqian Yangyi and Miyuki Kazuya. At first glance, they looked a bit familiar; at the second glance, he recognized them, and then an expression of disbelief appeared in the boy's eyes.

"Ho, he recognized us," Huangqian Yangyi laughed. Although the boy's expression didn't change much, he had captured that trace of surprise in his eyes.

While Huangqian Yangyi was speaking, Miyuki had already raised his hand and waved to greet the other party.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Just getting to know them," Miyuki said.

Huangqian Yangyi looked over to the next station; the blond boy had already walked toward them.

Seeing this, Huangqian Yangyi and Miyuki exchanged a glance, smiled, and walked over as well.

"I didn't expect to meet two seniors from Seido High School here. Nice to meet you, I am Kamei Kei," the boy said, looking at the two of them calmly.

"Huangqian Yangyi."

"Miyuki Kazuya."

The two of them said with faint smiles.

Kamei nodded and gave an 'un' sound; being able to meet these two here was a good thing for them.

His goal was to make the Kiyomine Haruka behind him the number one Pitcher in Japan.

What is the number one Pitcher in Japan? Just look at the one in front of them: the number one in Japanese high school baseball, someone who would surely stir up the professional leagues in the future, known as the Undefeated Overlord, Huangqian Yangyi.

With such a template right in front of them, how could they not come up and exchange a few words?

"Kei, who are they?"

Behind Kamei, Kiyomine Haruka walked over with a blank look on his face.

Facing Kiyomine, Kamei showed a gentle smile, "Kiyomine, didn't you want to become the number one Pitcher in Japan? The perfect template is right in front of you."

Hearing this, Kiyomine finally turned his gaze toward the two in front of him; he hadn't looked carefully just now, as his eyes had only been on Kamei.

"I know you guys, the Koshien champion Pitcher and champion Catcher," Kiyomine said.

Kamei helplessly patted his forehead; Kiyomine was good at everything, but he was a bit dense.

"You have to call them seniors," Kamei reminded him.

Kiyomine gave an 'un' sound, obediently bowed slightly, "Senior Huangqian, Senior Miyuki, nice to meet you, please treat me well."

After the group exchanged greetings across the net, they realized it was a bit strange, so Kamei and Kiyomine Haruka came directly over to where Huangqian Yangyi and Miyuki were.

"Are you guys in the third year of middle school now?" Huangqian Yangyi asked.

Kamei nodded, "Yes, we both are."

"Where are you planning to go for high school?"

The Seido Ace HR began to exert its influence.

Suddenly being asked this, Kamei glanced at Huangqian Yangyi, then turned to look at Kiyomine Haruka, and then smiled: "I don't know. Wherever Kiyomine goes, I go."

"Me too," Kiyomine said.

"Hehe, how about coming to Seido?" Huangqian Yangyi chuckled.

Just by watching their batting earlier, Huangqian Yangyi knew that these two were of a high level, definitely a cut above the rest among middle schoolers.

"Is Senior Huangqian inviting us?" Kamei asked in return.

Seido was indeed a very good choice; from the training facilities to the coaching staff, it was absolutely top-tier.

"Yeah, do you want to come?"

Kamei smiled and said: "Thank you for the invitation, Senior Huangqian, but this isn't something that can be decided in a few words."

Hearing this, Huangqian Yangyi waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Then take your time to consider it."

"Thank you, Senior." Kamei nodded, then said: "Senior, I wonder if we could have a practice match with you."

"A practice match?"

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity, and we hope to learn from you seniors," Kamei said.

Although he and Kiyomine Haruka were a dominant force among their peers in middle school, there was definitely a gap compared to high school baseball, not to mention that these two in front of them were people standing at the pinnacle of high school baseball.

Huangqian Yangyi turned to look at Miyuki: "How about it? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"Hehe, I can do it," Miyuki laughed.

Huangqian Yangyi raised an eyebrow and said to Kamei: "Right, what are your positions? And his?"

"I am a Catcher, and Kiyomine is a Pitcher," Kamei said.

"Is that so? What a coincidence," Huangqian Yangyi was a bit surprised; a battery meeting a battery, what fate.

"If possible, we would like to witness your pitching, Senior," Kamei said, bowing slightly.

Huangqian Yangyi: "Sure, but before that, let me see your strength first."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the pitching area. Huangqian Yangyi carried his bat and said: "Go ahead, warm up. Give it your all later and try to Strikeout me."

Kamei and Kiyomine Haruka nodded. An incredibly serious expression appeared on Kamei's face; he knew that this was an opponent completely different from any match they had ever had before. With their strength, they might be able to reign supreme in middle school, but in front of this person, they were likely not yet up to the task.

Whew~

Kamei Kei took a deep breath and walked to the side with Kiyomine Haruka to start warming up.

"Huangqian Yangyi, go easy on them; don't break the kids," Miyuki reminded him.

He had just looked up the information on these two on his phone; they were geniuses in the middle school baseball world, but no matter how genius they were, they were still just middle schoolers.

Yet, who was their opponent? The pinnacle of the high school baseball world! An existence known as the Overlord.

To describe it in one sentence: he had seen many geniuses, but those geniuses were all called Huangqian geniuses.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Huangqian Yangyi said with a smile.

Soon, Kamei Kei and Minei Haruka finished warming up; one stood on the Pitcher's Mound, and the other went to the Catcher's position and crouched down.

Huangqian Yangyi carried his bat to the Batter's Box, looked down, and said, "Use your full strength; I won't be holding back."

Hearing this, Kamei Kei looked up and smiled without saying a word; he was hoping for Huangqian Yangyi to go all out, as only then could he better see the gap between them and the top players in the country.
