Showdown (2)

WHOOOOOSH

PAH

"Strike!"

*DING*

Ken felt great after the pitch. Inwardly he knew that he'd gone faster than the previous one. After receiving the ball back from Yuta, he turned to the Jumbo screen and felt his eyes widen.

'160km/h?'

He blinked a couple of times in confusion, not knowing when or how his pitches had gotten so fast in such a small amount of time.

'It must be because of my skill showdown.' He thought.

[Correct. User currently has SS grade pitching thanks to Skill showdown]

Ken nodded and was about to thank Mika for her input, until his face froze.

'Wait, did you say SS grade? Showdown is only meant to increase my grade by 2, meaning I should have S+ at most right?'

He suddenly turned pale. If his Limit Break skill had triggered, it would add another 2 grades onto his pitching. However, there was a drawback to this skill which would decrease all his grades by 1 for 5 minutes.
