Capítulo 523: Reflection (1)

Kazuhiro felt his body turn cold.

The home run from the completely unknown first year was something that he had not expected at all. After getting smacked out of the park by Ken, his confidence was already teetering on the edge.

Yet his pride was wounded as the unassuming first year took his victory lap around the bases.

"Nice hit Ryo!"

The slightly shy teen's face reddened, feeling a little overwhelmed at the cheers from his teammates. His head was lowered slightly as he made his way back to the dugout.

The first face he saw was Coach Hanada's gloating expression.

"Well done! He he he."

Ryo shied away slightly, finding the coach's reaction to be rather creepy, however it was overshadowed by the big reception he received.

"Wow Ryo! That hit was awesome." One of his close friends Mamoru congratulated him, holding his hand up for a high five.

"I-It was alright." He said, feeling a little embarrassed.
