The speeding light.
A foul ball toward third base.
The first ...
Chapter 397: The Fierce Attack of the Ugumori Battle
In the top half of the inning, Eijun's pitching defense was nothing short of completely dominant.
The momentum of Seido High School, which had been suppressed, was once again ignited.
In the bottom half of the inning.
Seido High School's third rotation of the batting lineup launched an even fiercer attack against S...
Chapter 396: The Deeper Meaning Behind Ugumori’s Fury
This was what Eijun had told Miyuki before taking the mound.
When Eijun gets serious, there’s no telling how deep his abilities truly go.
Since the summer tournament, no one had seen Sawamura go all out. Even against Teito, it felt like he was still holding something back.
But today—right now—Eijun was pit...
Chapter 395: The Ugumori Battle - The True King
"Pop!"
"Out! Three outs! Change of offense and defense!"
A showdown at home plate, a desperate sprint.
As Asou charged toward home, Ugumori High’s defense displayed top-tier coordination between the infield and outfield. In a split second, they managed to tag him out successfully at home plate.
Along with the f...
Chapter 394: The Ugumori Battle - Getting Serious
The moment Eijun's figure leaped forward,
Ugumori High's first baseman, Inubushi, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
The eyes of the entire audience were instantly drawn to Eijun. This was a steal attempt by the ace himself! However, Seidou's offensive strategy clearly didn't stop there.
No, it was a hit-and...
Chapter 393: The Fierce Assault of the Golden Battery in the Ugumori Battle
"Bang!"
Another sharp outside fastball.
Eijun swung his bat sideways.
Sending the ball flying.
"Whoosh"
"Thud"
"Foul ball!"
No, this can't go on. If we keep being led by the nose like this, we might get overwhelmed by their relentless attacks. If that's the case......
Chapter 392: Ugumori’s Growing Momentum
The bottom of the fourth inning. Seidou High’s attack begins with the third batter, the pitcher, Sawamura.
“Alright, ace, we’re counting on you here!”
“Now’s the time to show your true strength, Sawamura!”
“Eijun, we’re counting on you—get a hit!”
“Charge! Charge, mighty Seidou!”
“Ace...
Chapter 391: Reflection on the Contrasts in Ugumori’s Battle
"Strike! The batter’s out! Three outs! Side retired!"
“Just three pitches—like he’s declaring his own dominance. No more chances for Ugumori High. Three pitches, three strikes, and he crushes their attempt to score further. The ace of Seidou: Sawamura Eijun!”
“Nice pitch, Sawamura!”
“Well ...
Chapter 390: The Measure of Diamond
"Next, it’s time to deal with these guys.”
After Furuya returned to the bench, Eijun turned his gaze toward his teammates. His solemn expression indicated that he was more serious than ever before.
“Let’s show these reckless fools why we’re called the kings!”
With golden light glinting in his sharp eyes, his powerful w...
Chapter 389: Ace Enters the Fray
Shooosh!
Smack!
A streak of white light tore across the sky, like the blazing trajectory of a meteor.
The scene that followed left every player at Seidou High School in utter disbelief and rendered Furuya’s expression pale and powerless.
It was a moment that left everyone stunned.
The atmosphere at Edogawa Municipal St...
Chapter 388: Shattering Reality
Furuya’s breathing became uneven as he stood on the mound, his chest rising and falling in response to the hitter’s disdainful attitude.
That scornful gaze from the batter—it was as if he were being looked down upon by someone unworthy.
This was supposed to be a weak team, an insignificant opponent. What right did they have to act sup...
Chapter 387: Ugumori’s Provocative Challenge
Furuya, don’t rush—it’s just one hit. You need to understand that the last swing happened because your pitch floated too high. Got it? Here, you need to calmly handle every pitch. If your goal is the future, don’t let yourself get blocked here!
At home plate, Miyuki didn’t call for a time-out. He simply gave Furuya a sharp l...
Chapter 386: The First Hit in the Battle Against Ugumori
Whoosh
Pop!
“Strike! Batter out! Three outs — change of sides!”
After using his powerful curveball to corner Haruichi, Seiichi sealed the deal with an outside fastball, catching Haruichi off guard and striking him out swinging.
With that, Seidou’s offense in the bottom of the third came to an end...
Chapter 385: The Unexpected Stalemate in the Battle Against Ugumori
Effortless and simple.
Just as everyone expected, Furuya completely overpowered Ugumori High School’s batting lineup.
At least, so far.
This was the scenario most had envisioned. Without the overwhelming momentum and impressive track record from the previous timeline — where Ugumori famously ...
Chapter 384: Ugumori High School’s Explosive Power
“A vertical slider? That’s unexpected.”
Miyuki furrowed his brow. This pitch, unlisted in the data, had caught Seidou off guard.
But at least they’d forced it out in the first inning.
“By the way, you actually managed to react to that on your first try? That pitch had a nasty angle, right? Your batting sk...
Chapter 383: Seiichi's Strength
“Whoosh”
When that dazzling flash of light streaked through the air, the hearts of everyone present were instantly gripped, especially those from Ugumori. Matsubara clutched his wheelchair tightly. Will it go out? Will this ball clear the fence!?
Seidou’s ace, Sawamura Eijun, might just replicate his first at-bat against Teito in this g...
Chapter 382: The Hard-Fought Battle Against Ugumori
“Safe on base!”
Whoa, that was fast!
The instant Kuramochi reached base, Seiichi on the mound couldn’t hide his dramatic reaction. His usually fierce expression gave way to a comically surprised look.
Honestly, you could almost call it a charming contrast.
“Nice job, Mr. Cheetah.”
“Perfect ...
Chapter 381: The Power of Ugumori’s Mighty Arm
A simple-hearted child.
More often than not, they are the kind of people whose convictions run deepest.
Furuya was undoubtedly one of them.
With a steadfast goal, the willingness to take real action, and an unwavering resolve that feared nothing, Furuya forged ahead. Even as he pursued his dreams step by step—sometim...
Chapter 26: Fels
Freya bit her fingernail.
No matter how much she thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
After her last encounter with Luke Blade, she’d mulled it over again and again.
Could it be that she held back, using only a fraction of her power in an attempt to charm him? No, even so, there’s no way a mere Level 2 adventurer (now Level 3) could resist h...
Chapter 380: Ugumori’s Opening
"This team will continuously press on the attack. They might even resort to high-risk, aggressive tactics at any moment. The key is to keep the pitches low and, most importantly, maintain control. Understood?"
On the field, in front of the pitcher’s mound, Miyuki spoke sternly to Furuya.
If this had been Eijun or Kawakami, Miyuki wouldn’...
Chapter 379: Mutual Confidence
Edogawa Citizen Baseball Stadium.
On this day, the weather was clear. A gentle early autumn breeze blew across the field, carrying no hint of chill.
It was here, on this sunny day, that Seidou High School would face their third opponent in the autumn tournament: Ugumori High School, an explosive, high-energy team from East Tokyo.
Seidou...
Chapter 25: Grimoire
"Got it!!!!!!!!!!"
When I woke up in the morning, Riseria was running around like crazy, making a racket.
Jeez, that kid Rumi cried herself to sleep because her grandpa died yesterday. She’s going to wake up if you keep this up. Calm down.
“I finally finished it! It’s done! It’s really done!”
Riseria, clutching a massive book as ...
Chapter 378: Morning Meeting
The glory of the team.
The responsibilities of the captain.
The recognition from the coach.
The trust of teammates.
The expectations from the outside world.
There was so much—so many gazes fixated on Seidou High. Those gazes brought a supreme sense of recognition and honor, but they also carried an inescapable mission and ...
Chapter 377: True Connection Comes From the Heart
“It’s really impressive, Miyuki-senpai. You managed to calm down so quickly. I was hoping to see more of that excited side of yours.”
With a faint smile, Eijun casually tossed the baseball in his hand and said with a chuckle.
Swish!
Pop!
Miyuki turned his left hand and caught the ball with ease.

Chapter 24: Rumi Warhowl (3)
Oren Warhowl is a High Smith of the Hephaestus Familia. A rare smith with Level 4 skills of exceptional caliber.
He was once a candidate for captaincy due to his outstanding abilities, but at some point, he stepped down and spent years in idleness.
After all this time, he suddenly returns and asks for a forge.
"Don't you think it's shamel...
Chapter 376: The Slightly Tsundere Captain
"Not going!"
Miyuki’s cold, indifferent tone was a stark contrast to his usual playful demeanor. He seemed uninterested, barely acknowledging Eijun’s presence.
Off to the side, Haruichi looked on with concern. In his view, Miyuki had just had a heated argument with the second-years. For Eijun to approach him now, and even ask t...
Chapter 375: The Cold-Faced Man and the Fiery Gorilla
Under the arrangements of Matsubara Nao, as Ugumori High School fully entered into a state of battle-readiness, Seidou High School was also almost done with their own preparations.
This included Watanabe’s data collection, as well as the strategic planning and lineup decisions made by Coach Kataoka and others.
In othe...
Chapter 23: Rumi Warhowl (2)
Daedalus Street, as the name suggests, is a labyrinth. In Greek mythology, the genius Daedalus built a labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur. Well, this place is just like that.
But all I can think about is: "Give birth to the child of God! Aaaaah!" Damn it, my eyes!
As I follow Rumi through the maze-like alleys, we eventually arrive at what appear...
Chapter 374: The Ambition of Oda Nobunaga
"Based on the current data we’ve gathered, Sawamura Eijun is a left-handed pitcher and right-handed batter, with a pitch speed of over 135 km/h. Thanks to his exceptional joint flexibility and unique pitching form, batters can’t see his release point clearly, making it extremely difficult to track the ball’s trajectory. To the naked eye, hi...
Chapter 373: Ugumori High School
Staring into Miyuki's pupils, Eijun could discern a mix of scrutiny and a teasing smile.
Eijun couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.
Miyuki-senpai's train of thought was truly something.
Though he knew that Miyuki’s words were largely in jest, he still couldn’t help but sigh.
Off the field, this captain of Seidou High...
