Chapter 355: Autumn Tournament, Finals

~6 min read 1,187 words

On the tennis court, Huangqian Yangyi and Isashiki Jun were playing against each other.

"Jun-san, how miserable."

"Huangqian Yangyi doesn't intend to go easy on him at all."

Watching Isashiki Jun running back and forth on the court, being led around like a dog by Huangqian Yangyi, both Miyuki and Kuramochi felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?" Kominato Ryosuke gloated.

"Yeah, you're right."

Yuki Tetsuya held his phone and recorded Isashiki's disheveled state.

Sweeping Isashiki 6-0, Huangqian Yangyi walked off the court with a smug smile.

"Huangqian, why are you playing so fiercely? I can't even reach the ball!" Isashiki complained.

Taking a sip of water handed to him by Fujiwara Takako, Huangqian Yangyi looked completely innocent, "Isn't it you, Senior, who said you wanted to play a match? This is what I call respecting my opponent."

"You, you, you..."

"Miyuki, let's play for a while too." Yuki Tetsuya held a tennis racket, his demeanor looking just like an expert.

"Alright, Senior."

The two took the court; Yuki Tetsuya remained full of confidence, his movements standard and his aura imposing, even emitting a blue aura, but he couldn't hit the ball.

On another court, Kuramochi and Kominato Ryosuke were doing the same: you hit it over, I can't catch it; I hit it over, you can't catch it. The time spent picking up balls was longer than the time spent playing.

Watching the scene of the "noobs pecking at each other" on the court, Huangqian Yangyi turned his head and said to Fujiwara Takako, "Senior, let me play with you."

"Sure." Fujiwara Takako nodded happily. Ever since the third-years retired, she, as the Manager, had also stepped down from the Baseball Club to focus on her studies, and she hadn't seen Huangqian Yangyi for quite some time.

To Huangqian Yangyi's surprise, Fujiwara Takako's tennis skills were actually quite good.

Huangqian Yangyi spent the entire afternoon on the tennis court. After returning to the dormitory, Arima Kazusa was actually doing lower-body training.

"You brat, when it's time to rest, you should rest properly. Doing this will only make your injury heal slower."

"It won't, Senior. The volume isn't high. If I don't do something, I just feel uncomfortable all over," Arima Kazusa laughed.

Huangqian Yangyi shook his head, "Fine, just take it easy."

After a relaxing day passed, Huangqian Yangyi returned to the intense training of the Baseball Club.

Time flew to the end of the month, 12:30 PM, location: Jingu Stadium.

The 20 members of the Seido Baseball Team First String got off the bus, and the fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately erupted into deafening cheers.

Wearing headphones and listening to 'Meeting Angel', Huangqian Yangyi walked at the very back of the line with his backpack on one shoulder and one hand in his pocket.

Upon entering the venue, perhaps by fate's arrangement, the two teams met in advance.

Seido and Inashiro met in the finals once again.

This time, Inashiro Industrial defeated Yakushi High School 8-2 in 9 innings. Narumiya Mei's dominance left Yakushi with few offensive opportunities, and the "little monkey" Todoroki Raichi only managed one hit the entire game.

"Yo, isn't this the little blondie? You look like you're in good shape today."

As the two teams met, the Seido side naturally stepped aside to reveal their final Captain, Huangqian Yangyi.

"Heh, chestnut-haired freak." Narumiya Mei stared straight into Huangqian Yangyi's eyes, "See you on the field!"

Huangqian Yangyi smiled; Narumiya Mei was becoming more and more steady now, "See you on the field."

At 1:00 PM, both teams entered the dugouts and began pre-game warm-ups.

In the stands, the already defeated Yakushi, Ichidai Sanko... many schools' aces, captains, and fourth batters had all arrived at the scene to watch the game.

"Yoshi, I've come at the right time. Today, you must show me a spectacular game."

In the east stands, Yakushi High School's Manager Todoroki Raizo, along with his precious son Todoroki Raichi, ace Sanada Shunpei, and several other key players from Yakushi, came to watch.

"Sigh, we lost to Inashiro again this time. I didn't expect them to have such good chemistry," Sanada Shunpei said from the side with a look of regret.

"Heh, that Narumiya Mei is much harder to deal with than before." Todoroki Raizo's gaze turned toward the Inashiro dugout.

The current Narumiya Mei was exactly what a qualified ace should look like. Whether in terms of strength or from the perspective of a senior, Narumiya Mei would even take the initiative to guide the Catcher, Tadano Itsuki, during the game.

"Wahaha, I want to play too. It's been a long time since I've hit Huangqian's pitches," Todoroki Raichi said from the side with a "waku-waku" expression.

Meanwhile, in the west stands.

"Seido and Inashiro again, it's not a surprise at all."

"However, this game will definitely be very interesting, the duel between Huangqian-boy and Narumiya-boy!"

Listening to the way he spoke, one knew who had arrived. Ichidai Sanko's Manager Tahara came to the scene with great interest, just to witness with his own eyes who the winner of this game would be.

Behind him, Ichidai Sanko's ace, Amakusa Kosei, grinned, showing his teeth, and looked onto the field full of anticipation. This time, they unfortunately lost to Yakushi High School and failed to enter the top 4. He blamed this loss on himself; if he hadn't quit baseball for so long, his current strength would definitely be even greater.

After the warm-up session, the 9 starting players for Seido were all prepared.

First Batter, Shortstop, Kuramochi Yoichi.

Second Batter, Second Baseman, Kominato Haruichi.

Third Batter, Catcher, Miyuki Kazuya.

Fourth Batter, Pitcher, Huangqian Yangyi.

Fifth Batter, Right Fielder, Shirasu Kenjiro.

Sixth Batter, First Baseman, Maezono Kenta.

Seventh Batter, Third Baseman, Higasa Shoji.

Eighth Batter, Left Fielder, Asou Takeru.

Ninth Batter, Center Fielder, Tojo Hideaki.

For this final, Seido's starting lineup didn't change much from before. Arima Kazusa was out due to injury, Shirasu was promoted to the 5th batter position, and Third Baseman Higasa Shoji was arranged in the 7th batter position.

"Let's do this."

Before taking the field, Manager Kataoka pressed his hand on Huangqian Yangyi's shoulder.

Huangqian Yangyi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, a flash of excitement appeared on his face.

Yes, ever since the new team was established and he became Captain.

Seido has not done that thing yet.

The others looked at Huangqian Yangyi with anticipation after hearing the words of Director Kataoka.

"Then, let's form a circle, everyone."

Huangqian Yangyi walked out of the dugout and turned to look at everyone.

Soon, the entire First String gathered together, and Huangqian Yangyi placed his hand on his chest, imitating Jiecheng, his gaze sweeping over everyone one by one, starting with Miyuki beside him.

"Who are we?!"

"Seido!!"

"Who sweats more than anyone else?!"

"Seido!!"

"Who sheds more tears than anyone else?!"

"Seido!!"

"Are you ready?!"

"Ooooooh!!!"

"Carrying the honor of Seido High School! Our goal from beginning to end is only one: to conquer the nation!!"

"Ooooooh!!!!!"

"Koshien consecutive championships!!"

"Awooooo!!"
