"Arata-san! Arata!"

"Haha... we meet again, Kato-san! Don't worry, I will go to the field football club to participate in training after school!"

"I'm not here to ask this! Tell me, yesterday...how on earth did you guide Nishijima to hit that shot? Just tell me!"

"Ah, this..."

Hearing that Kato had made a special trip to ask about this matter, Arata hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to tell Kato the truth, because then the conflict between him and Ono would be made public in the field club.

"Can't you happily sweat on the field every day?"

Xintai sighed helplessly in her heart, and then casually made up a reason and said:

"I think it's just a coincidence! I just asked Nishijima-senpai to take a small step forward before swinging the bat, that's it!"

"Hey... can this increase the strike rate? I'll have to ask Yoshida-sensei later!"

"This... shouldn't be that simple! But, who is Mr. Yoshida?"

"Ms. Yoshida is the consultant of the school's field football club. Because Chiyoda Academy's field football club has never made it to the Musashino City Players Rights Conference and was almost eliminated by the school, so Yoshida-sensei spends most of his time with the football club now! But...

…If we encounter any problems, we can always go to him for advice!”

"Hey... consultant! Who is the coach of the field football club..."

"It's me!"

"you?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I train with you every day and monitor whether you are slacking off or not?"

"That's just everyone passing the ball around, it's not really training at all!"

"But... if we have very good pitchers, wouldn't we be able to defeat our opponents? So, come on! Arata-san, this year's spring game, the field ball club will all depend on you!"

After listening to Kato Aya's introduction, Arata finally understood the level of Chiyoda Academy's fieldball club.

"It turns out that it was an accident to have a player like Ono in the field team! No, in this case, we have to have a good relationship with this guy! Forget it, in my previous life, I was dozens of years older than him.

, I’m not as experienced as a high school student!”

Arata had already made up his mind, so he packed up his schoolbag and followed Kato Aya out of the classroom, and then walked side by side to the field court.

On the field today, everyone was practicing throwing and catching as usual. Perhaps because Nishijima hit a throw that he was proud of yesterday, Ono seemed to be a different person.

Practicing hard.

"Wait a minute Xiaoye, look who's coming!"

After Nishijima, who had been forced to practice for a long time, caught the ball again, he immediately knelt on the ground a little tired. Then he suddenly noticed Arata and Kato walking together not far away.

"Ono! That guy is with Miss Kato!"

After hearing Nishijima's reminder, Ono turned his head in the direction the two of them were walking. Seeing his beloved Kato and that hateful boy together, Ono felt a burst of anger in his heart.

"Xiaoye, don't be impulsive. If you fight, you will be expelled!"

"Don't stop me!"

I saw Ono walking quickly towards the state of mind, and Nishijima who saw him on the side quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Hey, new guy! Do you dare to compete with me again?"

"Ono-kun!"

Seeing Ono suddenly walking over angrily and challenging Arata in a vicious tone, Kato Aya on the side couldn't help but be startled.

"Ono-kun, what do you want to do?"

"I want to compete with him in an upright and fair manner, and the loser will leave the field club! Don't you dare!"

After Ono finished speaking, he put his hand on Arata's shoulder, with anger hidden in his eyes.

Arata looked at the emotional Ono with some surprise at first, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then responded with a smile:

"Okay! Senior Ono! May I ask...how do you want to compare?"

"It's very simple. I defend and you attack. If you can get on base, I lose!"

"Okay, no problem!"

"But what if I strike you out?"

"Then I'll quit the field club!"

…

Arata simply agreed to Ono's conditions, while Kato Aya on the side was almost furious with these two people.

"Hey, I don't agree. Did you hear that...I...I don't agree with you betting on quitting the club. I'm the manager of the field football department. Stop it!"

"Be quiet, A Cai. Once I deal with this guy, you can punish us however you want!"

Ono comforted Kato Aya without looking back, and then followed Arata back to the infield of the stadium. The other players on the team took their positions.

"Okay, senior, you can start at any time!"

When Arata stood in the batter's box with the bat, he first observed the positions of everyone on the field. He noticed that except for Ono, who was losing his mind due to anger, and was a little serious, the rest of the people on the field seemed to be talking in low voices.

He was always talking about their affairs, especially the shortstop position, and he would point fingers at the second base defensive player from time to time.

Arata had already seen through Ono at this time. He was a player who could only throw four-seam fastballs (straight balls) and was very confident in his ball speed.

"Whoa!"

In the distance, Ono suddenly took a step forward and threw the ball fiercely. Arata only looked at the ball for a moment, then immediately changed his posture and faced it with the bat in both hands.

"Crack!"

When the baseball was hit by the bat, it quickly bounced to the ground and turned into a ground ball rolling toward the infield! Before the shortstop could react, Arata had already thrown away the bat and ran towards first base.

.

"not good!"

Feeling that something was wrong, Ono saw the ball rolling into the shortstop zone. He quickly ran down from the pitcher's mound and tried to pick up the ball and pass it to the first baseman. But at this moment, he collided with the shortstop who was coming to win.

His arms were full, and the ball happened to roll into the outfield!

"Boom!"

"safe!"

When Ono stood up from the ground again, he saw Arata already standing on the first base bag. The defensive player on the side shook his head helplessly at him.

Ono threw away his glove angrily and looked hard at the shortstop who just collided with him.

"Senior Ono! I..."

"You idiot!"

Ono scolded the other party fiercely, and then walked towards Arata with heavy steps.

"I lost! I will leave the Wild Football Club immediately!"

Ono said simply, and then left without looking back. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice behind him saying:

"Let's call it a draw! After all...if I defend, I can't win!"

"What do you mean?"

Ono heard Arata's answer unexpectedly and turned around to look at him in surprise.

"If I were to throw the ball like that day, do you think... Nishijima-senpai would be able to catch it? No matter how powerful the pitcher throws, if the catcher can't catch it, it's meaningless!"

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

"It hurts!"

Before Arata could finish speaking, Ono and he both felt that someone had slapped them on the back of their heads with a glove.

"You two guys, do you still take me as the club manager seriously? It's unforgivable..."
