Chapter 392

It belonged to invisible consumption.

Natsume Chikage asked, looking at the three young girls:

"Who wants to go first?"

Classmate Tengyuan Kui picked up a baseball bat from the rack on the side, excited, eager to try:

"I'll go first!"

Xiyuanji Qilai and Xuecun Lingyin naturally had no objections.

"Then let Kui-chan go first."

"Whatever."

Natsume Chikage also had no problem:

"Classmate Tengyuan, then you go first."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui was overjoyed, nodding forcefully:

"Hmm, hmm."

Saying this, she held the baseball bat in her hand, eager to try, swinging it a few times toward the front, but after trying a few times, she couldn't find the knack, bewildered, tilting her head:

"Natsume-kun, how should I swing this to be correct?"

Natsume Chikage stepped forward, correcting Classmate Tengyuan Kui's movements, pointing here and there, but without touching her body, at most demonstrating it himself:

"Your hands need to be higher here, the bat needs to be aimed here, and your feet need to be like this, otherwise you will twist your waist when you twist it later."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui was a sports student after all, and under Natsume Chikage's guidance, she quickly grasped the knack.

In a while, she grasped about seventy percent.

It looked like the real thing.

Natsume Chikage knew they were just playing, and didn't require it to be too standard, just about right was fine.

"Hmm, this is fine."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui said happily, setting up her stance:

"I have no problem now."

Natsume Chikage was adjusting the speed of the machine on the side, asking:

"Classmate Tengyuan, how fast do you want to hit?"

Classmate Tengyuan Kui said excitedly, her eyes shining:

"140 ball speed."

"I also want to experience the ball speed you faced at that time."

Upon hearing this, Natsume Chikage didn't say anything, inputting the number on the panel.

Because what was hit out of the baseball machine was basically a fixed strike zone; as long as you didn't have a seizure, playing this basically wouldn't cause injury.

However, he knew Classmate Tengyuan Kui's personality; this girl sometimes really would have a seizure, so he still stood by her side to watch the situation.

In a little while.

The machine emitted a low humming sound.

Soon.

A small white ball flew out at high speed, cutting through the air.

Classmate Tengyuan Kui smashed directly toward the ball, using all her strength.

However, the timing wasn't quite right.

She smashed several times but couldn't hit it, and the sound of the bat swinging through the air rang out one after another.

After twenty balls in a row, she almost didn't hit a single one.

Classmate Tengyuan Kui covered her head, finding it hard to hold on:

"Ah—not even one hit?!"

"Natsume-kun, the ball speed you faced at that time was too fast, I couldn't see the ball at all, and it just flew over."

"Is this really something that can be hit?"

Natsume Chikage smiled without a word, starting to lower the ball speed, his fingers pressing on the panel.

Lowering it to 70 ball speed, the beginner ball speed that most ordinary people hit.

Classmate Tengyuan Kui finally successfully hit several, her face overflowing with smiles, and she let out cheers;

"Great, finally hit it."

"But I still feel 70 ball speed is a bit fast; 140 ball speed is like a blink of an eye, and I can't react at all."

Xuecun Lingyin didn't believe in evil, walked forward, eager to try, and took the baseball bat:

"Let me try too."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui handed the baseball bat to Xuecun Lingyin and went back to sit on the side.

However, Xuecun Lingyin was different from Classmate Tengyuan Kui, the sports student; as a literature girl, after she held the baseball bat, she felt that the bat still had some weight.

Trying to swing it a few times, the movements were similar to Classmate Tengyuan Kui's, looking okay, but actually a bit crooked.

Xuecun Lingyin's cold face rarely revealed a trace of awkward blushing, hesitated again and again, but still chose to be like Classmate Tengyuan Kui, looking at Natsume Chikage, coughed twice, and asked with feigned calmness:

"... How exactly should this be swung to be considered a qualified swinging posture?"

Natsume Chikage didn't laugh either; after all, others were newcomers, and it was normal not to understand.

However, he didn't know that he himself was also a newcomer yesterday.

Natsume Chikage stepped forward and began to guide Xuecun Lingyin's movements.

Surprisingly, the literature girl Xuecun Lingyin, like Classmate Tengyuan Kui, quickly grasped the knack, swinging it like the real thing,

Ten points out of ten, she had six or seven points.

Then.

She also started with 140 ball speed and began to swing the bat.

But the result was the same as Classmate Tengyuan Kui's; no matter how she swung, she couldn't hit it.

Finally, it was adjusted back to 70 ball speed by Natsume Chikage, and she could occasionally hit it, emitting a crisp "bang" sound.

Soon.

Xuecun Lingyin, who had swung thirty or forty times, was already panting constantly, her cheeks flushed, obviously much worse in physical strength than Classmate Tengyuan Kui.

After wiping the slight sweat from her forehead, she stopped swinging and handed the bat to the next person.

"Qilai... it's your turn next."

Xiyuanji Qilai stood up happily, holding two small fists, nodding heavily, her shoulder-length short hair jumping along with her:

"Hmm."

She walked forward excitedly to take the bat, but the moment she picked it up, she also felt that the bat had some weight, and her wrists sank slightly.

After trying to swing it a few times tentatively.

Xiyuanji Qilai's movements were seriously deformed, the trajectory of the bat was erratic, obviously in the Collection Force, her sports talent was the worst.

Xiyuanji Qilai's face was slightly red and she felt somewhat awkward, looking at Natsume Chikage, stammering, somewhat shyly:

"Natsume-kun... could you please teach me... I can't find the knack no matter what."

Natsume Chikage naturally had no objections; rather, before coming, he had already anticipated this result.

He stepped forward and began to patiently guide Xiyuanji Qilai, pointing out the problems with her footsteps.

But Xiyuanji Qilai was different from Xuecun Lingyin and Classmate Tengyuan Kui; in sports, she was really quite clumsy, and no matter how he taught her, it was a bit awkward...

Xiyuanji Qilai's cheeks were slightly red and somewhat awkward, but those lively eyes were incomparably serious, puffing out her cheeks, as if struggling with herself:

"Natsume-kun, my talent in sports is not very good, I don't understand your guidance like this, could you please teach me hand-in-hand?"

Natsume Chikage was stunned, but looking at those incomparably serious eyes, he didn't refuse, nodding:

"Hmm."

Saying this.

He first clicked the machine to start serving the ball, setting a slower ball speed.

Then from behind, in a posture of almost hugging, he held Xiyuanji Qilai's hands, adjusting her grip and stance.

"Next, you remember this swinging movement."

And Xiyuanji Qilai, who originally only thought about playing baseball, listening to Natsume Chikage's magnetic voice by her ear, and feeling the temperature of his large hands.

At this time, she finally reacted, the originally incomparably serious eyes becoming somewhat shy and flickering, the ears under her shoulder-length short hair slowly turning red, her little heart beating wildly.

But in order not to expose these, she could only tightly purse her cherry-red lips, attempting to focus her attention on the baseball bat.

But the price of doing so was that she didn't notice when the ball flew over at all. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
