[Stamina: 6 → 7] Takashi closed his eyes and felt the surging power brought by the boost. His body warmed up, full of energy. But the feeling of punching through the starry sky still didn't exist. However, he was no longer the Takashi from a few seconds ago — he was a brand-new self. This was the power of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow! But boosting stats is fun for a moment, painful later. Sigh, all the points spent — now have to slowly accumulate them again. "Kid, stop dawdling, hurry up." Ichiro Suzuki swung his bat fiercely in the air. He was already eager to smash Takashi's ace dream with one hit. "Sometimes, it's good to bully the newbies a little." While Ichiro Suzuki was thinking this, suddenly a white blur whistled from far to near. Before he could react, he heard a heavy "thud!" by his ear. He turned sharply and saw the baseball firmly caught in the glove. The power of this pitch was enormous. Even the catcher didn't expect Takashi to have such speed and strength. He was knocked back and fell to the ground by the impact. "..." Whether this pitch shattered Takashi's baseball dream or not, it definitely shattered the hearts of the professional players there. They all turned their attention to the electronic screen. It had a special test for pitch speed. When they saw the number clearly on the screen, they gasped. Pitch speed: 153 km/h. "Do you (TM) call this a first-year high schooler?" "Are kids nowadays all raised on miracle fertilizer? So strong?" "Which first-year has that kind of speed?" "My pitch speed isn't even that fast. Maybe we should swap — let him go pro and I go back to school." "If he goes pro after high school graduation, he'll definitely be a hot draft pick! Annual salary and signing bonus start at 150 million yen!" "Wait, what about his looks? That face alone is worth debuting — at least another 10 million yen on top of that." Among the pros discussing Takashi's debut fees, someone said, "I wish our team had this pitcher." The whole room fell silent. Three seconds later, everyone scattered, took out their phones, and called their respective teams. Takashi was only in his first year of high school. He still had a lot of room to grow. If trained well, he might even become the next Shohei Ohtani. Youth equals potential. At that moment, Shohei Ohtani looked at Takashi with disbelief. He still couldn't imagine how crazy the professional players would go if they knew Takashi had been practicing baseball for less than two days. He had seen many geniuses, but they all called themselves geniuses. But today, he met a true genius. ... Half an hour later, Takashi walked out of the indoor training hall with an ice pack wrapped around his right shoulder, rubbing his sore muscles. Long pitching had caused a slight tearing pain in his shoulder muscles. It was unpleasant. Shohei Ohtani told him this was a process every pitcher had to go through. This was why every team's ace pitcher was replaced for rest after throwing a few innings. The arm took too much load. Almost every professional pitcher had dislocated their arm more than once. Just as Takashi was about to sit down to catch his breath, he suddenly heard a "bang—" — the metallic sound of a bat hitting a baseball. He turned and saw a blonde girl with a side ponytail, dressed like a gyaru, hitting baseballs. Her baseball skills were high. She hit every ball launched by the pitching machine far away. [Ding, target detected.] [Target: Hayasaka Ai] [Age: 16 years old] [Intelligence: 7] [Charm: 9] [Stamina: 7] [From: Kaguya-sama: Love Is War] [Secret crush: None] [No boyfriend, available for dating.] Takashi saw Hayasaka Ai's attribute panel — it was the first time he had seen such a high and well-balanced panel. Other girls might have one attribute very high, but few were as balanced as Hayasaka Ai. "How should I approach her?" Takashi started scheming again. Since he decided to break up with Eriri, someone had to fill her place. This girl was pretty good. "Phew!" After hitting a beautiful home run, Hayasaka Ai wiped the sweat from her forehead, very satisfied. She came here today just to vent her frustration from work. She had been under a lot of stress recently. If she didn't vent properly, she felt she might break down. Putting the metal baseball bat aside to rest, Hayasaka Ai planned to buy a drink when she suddenly noticed a boy standing hesitantly behind her. 'Why is it him?' Hayasaka Ai immediately recognized the boy. Aoba Sea King Kitahara Takashi. A scumbag who used his good looks to deceive and toy with rich girls. The kind of person Hayasaka Ai hated the most. Despite her hatred, Hayasaka Ai put on her signature gyaru fake smile, "What do you want?" Takashi's face flushed bright red, "Hello, my name is Takashi. I saw you playing baseball really well, could you teach me? I'm a newbie and don't know much." He looked sincere, but it was all an act. They were all millennia-old foxes — what kind of fairy tales did he think he was telling? Hayasaka Ai raised her middle finger and smiled brightly, "If you don't know, then privately message me for lessons. Why are you bothering me? You're just a freeloading guy, so disgusting." Takashi was stunned. He really was. This was the first time his charm didn't work. In the past, when he negotiated with his face, even if girls didn't like him, they wouldn't show such blatant disgust. "Sorry to bother you." Takashi left with a puzzled expression. "Tch, do you think I'm one of those naive rich girls you toy around with like a dog?" Hayasaka Ai sneered disdainfully. You want to hit on me again? As if you're worthy! Hayasaka Ai sat down, crossed her legs, and just as she opened her phone, she saw missed calls and unread messages, all from Shinomiya Kaguya. Kaguya-sama: [Where are you?] Hayasaka Ai knew as soon as she saw the message that her holiday was about to end early. [At the batting cage.] Kaguya-sama: [Why didn't you answer the call?] Hayasaka Ai: [Takashi just tried to talk to me, not convenient to answer.] Actually, it wasn't true at all. Hayasaka Ai just didn't want to spend her rare rest day answering that bald guy's calls, so she muted it. Kaguya-sama: [Is he there with you?] [How did you respond?] Hayasaka Ai: [Of course, I refused.] Kaguya-sama: [?] Kaguya-sama: [Why did you refuse him?] Why? Hayasaka Ai was confused. Shouldn't I be rejecting him? Kaguya-sama: [Hayasaka, find a way to get him.] Hayasaka Ai: [?] She's not the lady! I treat you like a sister, but you want me to date? And with Takashi — a sea king who, even when going out to buy a pack of sanitary pads, can run into nine women who are his backup lovers. Shinomiya Kaguya, have you lost your conscience!? ___ 20 Advanced Chapters available on p@ tr eon (.) com/HalflingFics Also, please point out my mistakes in the comment, thank you!
