Capítulo 417: Missed Chance (1)

Ryan let out a scornful laugh after seeing the smile disappear from Riku's face moments after being struck out. In his eyes, the guy was struggling futilely, with no hope of succeeding.

'I'll show you the difference in our abilities.' He thought, spitting on the ground as he turned around.

"Tch, don't get cocky." Riku muttered, feeling the disdain directed at him from the mound.

For the first time, the usually happy-go-lucky Riku was pissed off. He'd represented the Japanese National Team since middle school, and he'd encounter people like Ryan a few times.

Cocky assholes that look down upon their opponents, at least until they bit back.

As Riku walked back to the dugout, he eyed the new arrivals that had only joined the National Team this year before feeling a small smile creep onto his lips once more.

'I can't wait to see his expression when these guys put him in his place.' He thought in his heart.
