70.75% Ace Of Diamond: Baseball System / Chapter 75: Chapter 75

Bab 75: Chapter 75

"Is that Seido's Ace?".

"Can't believe he struck that Seishou Academy out".

"They won a called game".

"Seido's new lineup was a little lacking since Rei left the team".

"Even Though Furuya's pitching was not as good in the 1st round".

"Agreed".

"For some reason nowadays, I feel like Seido has changed".

"Yeah, whenever I walk near them, I feel like an intimidating aura hitting me".

"Such a strong presence".

"Just like an army…".

"BWAHAHAHA…what do you mean an army. So ridiculous".

'I know It sounds ridiculous but the way the coach leads the team seems almost like an army to me'.

Seido High Vs. Seishou Academy. 10-0.

Seido's Locker room, after their match.

"Good. You lasted longer in today's round. Though you still need to work on your pitch count", said Miyuki.

Furuya nodded determinedly.

This action left Miyuki speechless. 'Is he just going to agree like that? Shouldn't he ignore me', he thought.

"As I suggested raising Furuya as the ace was the best choice", said Ochihai coach.

Kataoka nodded.

Takashima frustratingly sighed hearing the conversation between them.

Yakushi's Dugout. The Start of the match with Metropolitan Mino.

"Oy, Kazuma", said Rei while moving his point finger signaling Kazuma to come toward him.

Kazuma nodded as he approached Rei.

"Listen here. Since you're not in top condition. I have an idea to solve the predicament we are in currently", said Rei.

Hearing Rei, Kazuma looked at Rei with hope. Because he was fed up with the situation as well since he couldn't catch it properly.

"I will throw my pitches at a slower speed. I will at least lower it by 10-15 KM", said Rei.

Kazuma's smile immediately disappeared. 'He's going to lower his speed for me. So that I can catch it. I-I…have to work harder. But will this be enough to win this match? I'm getting anxious just thinking about it since this is a single-elimination tournament'.

"What?", said Rei confused seeing Kazuma dazed.

Kazuma nodded agreeing with Rei as he stopped his thought process. 'Even though I'm getting anxiety thinking about this I have to trust Rei-kun', he thought.

Rei smiled since Kazuma agreed to his plan to win this match which is going to be successful. 'I had to come up with a brilliant plan in a short amount of time with the resources I had. A careless coach, a novice catcher, and strong batters. This is why. I have decided I will decrease my speed and pitch to contact and when I bat, I will hit a home run or at least get a run. I mean they are only Metropolitan Mino; they weren't even mentioned in the anime that thoroughly which can mean they are a weak team. I hope so at least', he thought.

A few minutes later, the first inning started and Yakushi was pitching.

Rei nodded towards Kazuma as he threw a 138 KM Fastball to the inside.

Rei was speechless seeing the batter not make contact with that slow-ass pitch. 'As expected now, Kazuma can catch my pitches effortlessly. But I mean come on; it has got to be luck on my side that the batter couldn't hit the pitch. Let's try again', he thought.

Rei pitched again with the same speed.

'Aare', thought Rei dumbfounded seeing the batter strike out again through these slow-ass pitches.

'Is this school after all a weak school? Can we win this even though I'm pitching this slowly? Eya…eya, let's not underestimate the school to early I'm sure there's going to be someone who can hit the slow ass pitches, right?', thought Rei.

A few minutes later, the 1st inning ended.

"There we have it. Rei Fujikawa didn't give Mino a chance to score through his pitching", said the announcer.

'It was that easy', thought Rei flabbergasted walking back to the dugout.

In The Audience, A few fans of Yakushi were discussing the match currently.

"I knew It Rei was going to dominate this match".

"Obviously ever since he transferred to Yakushi, the school has been transformed into a powerhouse school".

"But did you guys notice something weird about Rei's pitching today?".

"What!!".

"I feel like he was not throwing with all his might. Like he wasn't giving his all".

"Are you sure?"

"Looks like he was trying though".

(He was trying his best, but he was focusing on how to decrease his speed…)

"But if he actually isn't trying then I have to say he's a real baseball prodigy".

Back to the Field.

During the 1st inning, Raichi hit a home run easily.

2-3 inning, Rei hit a 2-run home run.

4 and 5th inning, Yakushi scored 4 more runs.

Yakushi High Vs. Metropolitan Mino. 8-0.

In the end, Yakushi High won.

Yakushi's Locker Room, after the match.

"Though I threw slower in this match, I can't continue doing this, so you have to step up your game Kazuma", said Rei.

Kazuma nodded determinedly.

"Why are you lecturing Kazuma like that? You guys are the same age. He's not your Kouhai, Rei", said Yuu.

Rei clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Thunderstruck in Kazuma's mind. As he realized how he had been acting toward Rei. He recalled everything single detail Rei had told him and declared, "I'll be Rei's Kouhai…".

"HAHAHAHA…for real", laughed Sanada in the corner.

"WHY CAN'T I BE HIS KOUHAI? He gives super helpful advice and if he can make me more useful to the team then why can't I be his KOUHAI for god's sake", said Kazuma snapping.

"Calm down, Kazuma. You can do as you please. No one will interrupt you if you want to be Rei's Kouhai", said Ryou.

"Why is this team full of weirdos?", muttered Ryou as he observed his teammates.

Rei was blushing as he received the compliment from Kazuma about his advice.

The father, and son duo, were watching tv. Raizou lazily sat down while Raichi was eating his banana.

The Tv showed the next round of Matches schedule, and we were against Akikawa Academy.

"That Akikawa Academy, huh? I think the player, 'clockwork' is the ace in that school", said Atsushi.

"WHAT!! That control freak", said Yuu shocked.

'You Shun shin. He was the player that had the most impeccable control in the whole series. I WANT TO PLAY AGAINST HIM SO BAD', thought Rei grinning.

Hearing the gasps in the locker room, Raizou said proudly, "What 'CLOCKWORK', what kind of stupid nickname is that? Anyways, since you guys seem to be scared of the 'CLOCKWORK' guy then Raichi will just smash him with his bat. HAHAHAHA…".

Bab 76: New Mission

Yakushi High Field.

"Just like that", said Rei as he nodded observing Kazuma's catching skills.

'I need to make him into an excellent catcher for next year and this year for the upcoming matches. Good thing he is a quick learner, since whenever I give him advice regarding something he immediately follows it and fixes his mistake. Another reason I am helping Kazuma is that when next year new catchers come, they are going to learn from their Senpai so he can teach them and help them as well when the time comes', thought Rei.

"Did you do the catching drills I told you about?", asked Rei.

"YEAH!! Honestly, I was doubting you in the beginning since you gave me such simple drills, I thought it wouldn't be effective but when I continuously did them, I can feel those drills helping me", said Kazuma smiling brightly.

Rei nodded smiling. 'I knew those minor league catching drills would come in handy someday', he thought.

"Next match I'm going to increase my speed so be ready. On second thought, let's practice more. I'll throw my fastest pitches. Don't be scared now", said Rei.

Kazuma's smile immediately disappeared. 'THIS DEVIL…I just thought my practice finished but now more PRACTICE…'.

Taking a deep breath, Kazuma nodded and readied himself to take his position.

Rei threw his 150-155KM Pitches.

Rei was impressed with Kazuma at this point because he only missed a few of the pitches. It is bad but compared to before he has improved.

"Let's continue for a few more hours", said Rei. He wanted to drill into Kazuma so he could catch his fast pitches.

After a few hours, at night.

Kazuma was worn out with dust all over his body. He was panting hard as he laid on the field exhausted.

Rei was exhausted as well but he could stand on his feet at least.

Both of them have been practicing various things. Rei made Kazuma do Catching drills that he saw catchers doing in his previous life. They took breaks in between playing catch ball.

"Let's hope this training sticks to you", said Rei chuckling.

"I will remember this all my life", commented Kazuma.

Rei chuckled and said, "Well, alright. I think it's about time I head home".

"Wait…pick me up from the floor I can't get up", said Kazuma. He didn't hear a reply from Rei and said, "Hello…Hello!!".

'Ugh that arrogant prick just left me here', thought Kazuma annoyed.

Rei's Room, Fujikawa House.

'I'm so exhausted. I feel like sleeping but I have to do something important then I'll sleep', thought Rei as he lay on his bed after using the bathroom.

Taking a deep breath, Rei opened the system interface, to check his status.

Stamina Boost II- Duration 4 hours a day. **CANNOT LEVEL UP SKILL**

Comment: A Talented Pitcher]

'I barely have had any coins left after my shopping spree, but I guess I gained some back after striking out the players from the last 2 matches. They were ridiculously weak though that's why I didn't get a lot of coins which sucks. My other stats increased a lot, I think it's the grip stat that affected my other stats too. My gyroball increased by 2 levels and my forkball increased by 1 level', thought Rei observing his status screen.

Scrolling down the status screen, Rei was shocked to find out that the stamina's unique skill can't level up. 'I mean it is kind of reasonable since If it did level up then the skill will be broken', he thought optimistically.

'The unique skill 'Eye' has not leveled up yet. Which is a bit disappointing', thought Rei.

Rei sighed and as he was about to go offline a new notification appeared Infront of him on a blue screen.

[A New Mission has been issued. Would you like to view the details?]

Rei excitedly clicked to find out more about the Mission.

[Fall Tournament

Dominate 3 schools in the Fall Tournament. (The Host allows no hit during the match).

Reward: A skill of your choice from the system shop.

Penalty: Drop a level and cut 10 attributes from all your stats.]

[Will the host accept the mission?]

Rei was stupefied as he read the details of this mission. 'Are you kidding me? That penalty is way too excessive b-but the reward is way too sweet. I mean whenever I pitch, I rarely even allow a hit but this mission is a gamble. Isn't this a setup since I only have 3 more schools to go to until the end of the tournament? Ummm…I can accept this mission since I'll convince that careless coach to let me pitch throughout all the innings. But my best bet will be to have called games in the 3rd and 4th rounds and, in the finals, it probably won't be a called game since it will most likely be Seido. HAHAHAHA…', he thought.

Sighing Rei decided to accept the mission thinking 'Big Risk Big Reward'.

[The Mission is successfully assigned to the host]

The Next Day, Akikawa Academy, The Meeting Room.

"Our next opponent, Yakushi High", said Ozaka, their coach.

"Wasn't Yakushi called the 'Dark Horse team'?

"What Dark horse? Well, that's not true anymore".

"They won all two matches so far".

"Yakushi High. A team is known for its offensive style of playing. They have a strong batting lineup. Previously they lacked defense wise but now since Rei Fujikawa has transferred to that school. The team is starting to shape up", said You Shunshin fixing his glasses as he analyzed their opponent.

"Oh, that Rei, the one who used to be with Seido".

You Shunshin nodded and said, "Our main concern should be him on the team since he is a major threat to us. His batting and pitching both are amazing. You never know when Yakushi's coach might send him to the outfield. So, let's think of a way to counterattack him".

Everyone nodded and tried to brainstorm a few ideas.

After a few minutes, You Shunshin was left hopeless as he didn't get any ideas from his teammates.

'I guess I can only rely on myself', he thought.
