Yakushi High School, Rei's Classroom.
'Now I have to worry about Amahisa. Since we are playing against Ichidaisan High, I need to take more precautions. If we want a guaranteed win. OK, let's try to remember Amahisa's stats and playstyle from the series', thought Rei sitting in his seat.
Rei remembered that Amahisa was a very observant type of pitcher he would analyze himself and other players while pitching. He pitched 3 types of pitches, Curve, Fork, and Slider. He had the best slider in the whole series and to top it all off his speed was around 150 KM.
It's super easy to win against a team like that, right?
'Hahahaha…seriously. How am I supposed to make Yakushi win?', thought Rei ruffling his hair frustrated.
Rei sighed, 'let's think positively, I can make this work'.
As he was thinking this, he looked over to Raichi and Yuu who were sleeping and digging their nose bored.
'I'm screwed', thought Rei.
Yakushi's Field, after school ended.
"Our next opponent is going to be Ichidaisan High, so we have to practice and prepare for the match. And for that I have gotten the most excellent teacher for you all", said Raizou excitedly.
For some reason, Rei's eyes started twitching.
Sanada looked at Rei pitifully.
"Rei. How about you come here?", said Raizou. 'To be honest, I keep making this kid instruct the team because for some reason the exercises and training Rei makes them do is on spot. It's not that I'm taking advantage of the kid'.
Rei sighed and unwillingly went there. He had given up on Raizou but on second thought instructing the team how you want is awesome since he can prepare them for Ichidaisan based on his knowledge.
All the players clapped after finding out Rei was their teacher.
"We should have expected it", said Yuu.
Ryou nodded.
"I prefer Rei being the teacher than the coach. I think he teaches way better", said Kazuma.
"Ok, let's start by doing some defending drills", said Rei.
"HAII", responded the players. The players were listening to Rei fully focused since they respected Rei and his skills.
The team spread out and started doing the defending drills one by one and surprisingly Raizou was helping them.
Rei sat on the dugout bench, sipping on his smoothie thinking of the plan for his team.
'Amahisa's weakness It's definitely his curiosity meaning he gets distracted quickly. I remember in the anime. Amahisa was super curious about Raichi and now who's Raichi with. ME!!', Rei snickered drinking his smoothie.
"Rei-Kun, you definitely look like a coach right now", commented Sanada who sat beside Rei on the bench observing the training.
"Shut up", said Rei.
"Hai, Coach", said Sanada chuckling.
Meanwhile, Seido was preparing for their match against Ouya High School.
In Field B, Sawamura was practicing his pitching against a wall.
"What are you doing? In the field alone", asked Miyuki.
"Oh, Captain...nothing much. I was just practicing what Master #2 told me too", said Sawamura.
"Can you show me?", asked Miyuki. 'Even though I'm curious to know who Master #2 is'.
"CAPTAIN!! Do you finally see my charm", said Sawamura.
"Eya, Furuya has a rest today so that's why", said Miyuki.
"I am ready I will pitch", said Sawamura totally ignoring what Miyuki said.
Miyuki sighed and got into his spot.
"I'm going to throw now", said Sawamura.
Miyuki nodded.
Sawamura threw his pitch. 'Here goes #1 pitch'.
The ball broke near Miyuki's mitt, and he couldn't catch it.
Miyuki was caught off guard. "Throw again", 'It could be luck'.
"Haii", said Sawamura as he threw the number 1 pitch again.
"Who taught you this?", asked Miyuki catching the pitch.
"Didn't I tell you before? Master #2", said Sawamura.
"Who is Master #2", asked Miyuki impatiently.
"Rei", said Sawamura.
A few days later, Rei had done everything he could to prepare his team for Ichidaisan High School.
He had them do defense drills and stamina exercises. He also had them practice their batting since their offense could use work as well mostly because Raichi and Rei hit home runs.
"Soldiers, you have done whatever you could to prepare and now the time has come to show the results of your efforts", said Rei.
"HAII, COACH", replied everyone.
'Why do I feel like I'm getting ignored', thought Raizou sitting in the dugout.
Raizou coughed and said, "Get on the bus".
Everyone nodded and grabbed their stuff.
After a few minutes, the bus set off for the stadium.
Arriving at the Stadium, Yakushi and Ichidaisan both came on the field and bowed to each other.
Ichidaisan Dugout.
"It's that pitcher. I really want his LINE number Akito", said Amahisa.
"You can get it after we win", said Akito.
"So, you mean I can get it after the match", said Amahisa excitedly.
Akito sighed. 'He thinks we have no way of losing. Though I do see where he is coming from'.
'For the senpai's we are never going to lose again. If that pitcher comes in my way, I have no choice but to break him either', thought Amahisa.
Yakushi High was pitching first and Ichidaisan High was batting first as this was chosen by their captains.
After a few minutes, the siren rang signaling the start of the match.
