Diamond no Ace: My Sharingan Chapter 236: A Swing Under the Sharingan Simulation!

Strikeout!

For the players and supporters of Seido High School, Zhou Hao's pitching performance had set their blood on fire.

Throughout the ga, he had completely suppressed the core batters of Osaka Kiryu High School, who—aside from scoring a single run at the very beginning—had been powerless against his Spiral ball.

Even now, simply watching Zhou Hao pitch left the star players of Osaka Kiryu sighing in admiration.

Seido's supporters wanted to cheer wildly, but the scoreboard told a harsher story.

The top of the ninth inning had ended, and Seido still had half an inning of offense. Yet they trailed 2–3. A single run deficit ant the difference between hope and despair.

The fans' reactions reflected this tension. Seido's supporters cheered cautiously, while Osaka Kiryu's fans shouted relentlessly:

"Out! Out!!!"

Their team was only three outs away from victory.

In the Seido dugout, Coach Kataoka kept his gaze calm.

"You've perford well so far. Keep playing like this."

The batters were fired up. They didn't need encouragent; they needed composure. Kataoka's job was to ensure that, even under pressure, they didn't lose their cool.

"Yes!"

The first to step up: Matsumoto, Seido's shortstop and leadoff hitter.

His eyes were locked on Kuroda. Earlier, in the bottom of the eighth, Kuroda had changed his pitching strategy. Matsumoto had prepared: If I can just make contact, I'll run no matter what!

But as Kuroda began his motion, the air seed to thicken. The high-speed Straight ball ca hurtling toward Matsumoto.

Boom!

The ball flew past in a flash. Matsumoto gritted his teeth. Wasn't the Ace of Osaka Kiryu tired yet?

Clang!

Strike!

The electronic scoreboard displayed the speed: 153 km/h.

The other Seido players felt their scalps tingle.

"Impossible…"

Kuroda had rested during the eighth, adjusted his technique, and now threw at peak speed again.

The comntator, who had been cheering for Seido, swallowed hard.

This opponent is too strong…

Boom! Clang!

Strike! Strike! Strikeout!

One out. No one on base.

Osaka Kiryu's supporters cheered with tears in their eyes.

"Our Ace hasn't lost a step! The freshman won't beat him!"

Two outs remained before facing Yuki and Azuma. Matsumoto was done for. Kuroda's control had separated Seido's key batters, and Osaka Kiryu's victory seed all but certain.

Kataoka's calm smile never wavered. He knew Seido was strong, but strength alone wouldn't guarantee victory.

Then, the second batter stepped into the box: Zhou Hao.

Kuroda on the mound was unwavering. Despite retiring Zhou Hao three tis already, he never underestimated the rookie's batting.

Technically, this kid is far behind … but in raw power? I won't lose.

Kuroda threw decisively.

Boom!

Zhou Hao's Sharingan imdiately tracked the ball's rotation and speed. He saw every subtle cue—but didn't flinch.

Clang!

The ball slamd into the catcher's mitt. 151 km/h.

The Osaka Kiryu supporters erupted.

"One more push!"

Zhou Hao's eyes were calm, yet sharp. He had faced Kuroda multiple tis today. Each ti, the bat had t the ball, but the outco was the sa: Seido returned empty-handed. Controlled, shut down, unable to make an impact.

But this ti felt different.

Through the Sharingan, Zhou Hao could see the pitch, the spin, the trajectory—and for the first ti, he felt he could control where the baseball would go once hit.

How is this possible?

Kuroda's speed hadn't decreased. Zhou Hao hadn't received any physical enhancents. Yet suddenly, a clear plan ford in his mind.

A spark of inspiration hit him.

So that's it!
