Chapter 862

【Feels like the strength is not as good as one finger of our private Tianhao! Hahahaha!】

【That's right! It seems that apart from shogi, other sports clubs in private Moonlight are all trash!】

There were many similar comments full of sarcasm and belittlement below, but Natsume Chikage felt that there was no need to look at them carefully anymore.

Shinohara Shingo's fingers tapped on the photocopy paper one by one, making a dull "thud" sound, and his voice raised slightly because of anger:

"This—is the good thing you did!"

"Now, looking at the baseball team circles of all the surrounding schools, who doesn't know that our private Moonlight baseball team was 'challenged' by an outsider who plays shogi, and was beaten by our number two main player in front of so many students in the school!"

"Originally, this matter didn't make such a big noise, at most only a part of the people in the school knew, and in that case, for the sake of club harmony, I would be too lazy to care about this matter."

"But it just so happened that because you became famous in the shogi match recently, some busybodies immediately went to dig up your information and past!"

"Causing this old matter to be dug up and spread rapidly, and now even the baseball teams of surrounding schools know about it!"

"And because of your 'feat', our baseball team is now being scolded and slandered by a bunch of outsiders, our reputation is ruined, and our prestige has plummeted!"

Other baseball team members who followed Shinohara Shingo heard this, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they echoed one after another:

"That's right! It's all your fault!"

"If it weren't for you, how could we be mocked by the other side now every time we go out to play practice games with other schools!"

"Just because of your mistake, we can't even lift our heads in the circle now! Do you know how uncomfortable this is?!"

Natsume Chikage listened to their accusations quietly, and instead of feeling guilty, a hint of mocking laughter appeared on his face.

"So what?"

Shinohara Shingo listened to his indifferent, even slightly mocking tone, and the anger in his chest burned even more vigorously:

"The baseball team of our school has always had an excellent reputation and its strength has been widely recognized since I took over as the main player!"

"It's a good hand for impacting Koshien!"

"But now, just because of you—it has become the look that everyone looks down on today!"

"So—you must be responsible for this matter!! Give our baseball team an explanation!"

Natsume Chikage restrained that bit of laughter, shook his head slowly, his tone clear and firm:

"It's simply absurd!"

"If you think that by putting out these so-called 'evidence' and saying these high-sounding words, I will feel guilty for this, or admit the 'responsibility' that doesn't exist, then I can only say, you think too much."

"I have no interest in the baseball team, and no obligation."

"I don't care about the so-called reputation of the baseball team, and I don't care about your reputation in the 'circle' at all."

"Even if your baseball team disbands on the spot now, I don't care at all."

"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit."

"I, don't think I need to be responsible for this at all! And I don't need to give you any explanation!"

Shinohara Shingo was completely angered by these unceremonious words, and slammed his fist on the table beside him with a loud "bang":

"It's really unbearable!"

"The baseball team that I worked hard and spent countless efforts to lead to this day was ruined by you, and it's not something you can just brush off with a sentence of 'I don't want to be responsible'!"

Other baseball team members were also excited, shouting one after another:

"That's right! Too arrogant!"

"If it weren't for you, how could our reputation become so smelly? You must be responsible!"

"Must give us a satisfactory explanation today! Otherwise, it's not over!"

Zhongdao Wushi, who was standing on the side, listened to these words, his face was red and white, and finally he could only sigh heavily, lowered his head in annoyance, and his fingers were tightly clutching the corner of his clothes.

But he also knew that the development of this matter to this point was no longer something he, the "defeated general," could intervene or control.

Natsume Chikage frowned at the accusations and stares of the crowd, but he still stood straight, without any fear.

"Stop talking nonsense." He looked directly at Shinohara Shingo, his voice calm, "Since you have made such a big fuss and called me to the student council, I guess you didn't just come to 'negotiate' with me or listen to my defense. Get straight to the point, what, exactly do you want?"

Shinohara Shingo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger that was churning, but the coldness in his eyes became even more intense, and he said word by word:

"This baseball team is the status I brought from the bottom to today! In order to correct the reputation of our baseball team that has been tarnished, I must vindicate it! Regain dignity!"

"Since you made us lose face in the first place, we must use the same way to find back the face and dignity we lost, fair and square!"

He straightened his waist, pointed his thumb at himself, and his tone was full of pride and provocation as an ace:

"I, am both the number one batter and the number one pitcher of the private Moonlight baseball team, the true core and ace of the team."

"I won't say I'm bullying you, an outsider. The competition method is very simple, you choose—compare batting, or compare pitching."

"Rules: Ten balls as the limit. If you compare batting, as long as you can hit the ball I throw three times, you win. If you compare pitching, as long as you can throw three balls that I can't hit, you also win."

"But if I win..."

Shinohara Shingo's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife, staring tightly at Natsume Chikage's eyes, his voice resounding:

"You, Natsume Chikage, must drop out—from private Moonlight Academy!"

"Conversely, the one who drops out, is me, Shinohara Shingo!!" ===== CHAPTER 863 =====
