Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

Chapter 756 Home Run

Li Ming and Ji Zi, a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman, did not attract much attention from those people. After all, people often came to the vicinity of the school to watch the competitions of various schools.

Some people have even become loyal fans of certain schools, as if this would allow them to reclaim their lost youth.

Kiana somehow managed to sneak Yuno into the lounge, much to the surprise of Himeko and Li Ming, who were sitting on the lawn.

"So Kiana likes baseball?" Li Ming asked curiously, which made him think. After all, although he brought Kiana directly to the Far East for her own good, he was thinking about how Kiana would grow up.

However, simply taking Kiana away from Siberia won't change anything. It's also important to help Kiana grow up normally and have a normal hobby. Baseball is indeed a good hobby.

We can't let Kiana carry around [Moon Goddess's Protection] all day long, can we? This isn't some Siberian place, it's more like a youth mercenary training camp.

"Kiana said basketball is all about throwing the ball into the basket, it's too simple, unlike baseball, which is much more interesting." Himeko put her left hand on her hip and her right hand on her forehead with a hint of helplessness. Himeko knew that Theresa had confiscated Kiana's [Moon Goddess's Protection], although she also had to say that those delinquents really deserved it.

However, letting Kiana flaunt [Moon Goddess's Protection] in public is indeed a bit ill-considered.

"Is that so?" Li Ming's expression immediately turned sour. Actually, Kiana's summary wasn't wrong, but perhaps Kiana simply didn't understand baseball because it was too complicated, and she just had a vague sense of awe? Li Ming felt that this was very likely.

The atmosphere on the field quickly became lively, and this atmosphere soon infected the surrounding spectators.

In particular, many of the audience members were students from Chiba Academy and local residents.

This practice match between seniors and juniors was still subtly mixed with the seniors' pride and the juniors' recklessness.

As the ace pitcher among the younger generation, Kanai was a bit rusty when facing the first batter, getting the first batter to first base with a 2-2-1 single. However, the second and third batters were both struck out.

As for the ace batter, Yoichi, he was naturally much more difficult to deal with. Kanai's first two pitches both ended out of bounds, making him very tough to handle.

This made the younger Kanai a little restless, while Kiana, sitting in the rest area, asked in confusion, "Hey, Yuno-chan, does it mean you can score as long as you hit the ball?"

"Shh, I don't really understand either, but I remember that if you hit the ball out of bounds and into the stands, it's called a home run."

Sato Yuno was a little embarrassed; her already shy face became even more so. However, she patiently explained her limited knowledge, because Kiana really didn't know anything about it.

"Oh, is it that simple? Then I can definitely knock them all away!"

Kiana is holding a baseball bat that's almost as tall as her, and the pink Hoomi stickers on it look a little too cute.

Moreover, her art style was completely out of place with the rest area team members. However, after hearing Kiana's words, they just laughed and said, "Hahaha, Yuichi, this little sister said that she can definitely hit all the balls she sees. As a senior, you can't embarrass yourself!"

Kiana heard her own name. Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she still heard it, which made her shout along, "Home run! Home run!"

Although she didn't know what a home run was, Kiana still cheered, and she got everyone to join in the excitement, shouting, "Yeah, Oichi, let's get a home run!"

"Home run!"

"Kanei, Mishin Goichi-senpai, let's show the seniors our strength!"

……

Facing the starting hitter already put a lot of pressure on Kanai, but now the pressure is even greater.

"Hey, Kanai, you self-proclaimed ace pitcher, you're not going to chicken out, are you?"

Yuichi also provoked, saying that he had won the championship and runner-up titles in youth baseball. Although he felt some pressure, since hitting a home run is quite difficult, what if Kanai made a mistake?

"Hehe, Senior Yuichi, you'd better be prepared to be struck out by me!" Although Kanai was a little excited, he didn't panic.

However, to strike out one of three goals, you can't rely on simple inside and outside corner kicks!

Kanai wanted to try something new, but after three balls, except for the first ball which was a slider that made Yuichi miss, Yuichi caught the ball as it went into the inside corner with the two balls and one strike ball.

After deftly dropping his bat and running to first base, Yuichi looked out to the outfield with a hint of regret on his face. "Sigh, looks like I didn't hit a home run!"

Although Yoichi successfully reached base, the dugout was filled with boos from the seniors. Originally, it was the fifth batter's turn to come up, but Kiana picked up her bat and walked out, saying as she went, "Watch me hit a home run for you guys!"

This surprised everyone, but when they saw the man standing behind the catcher nod, they didn't say anything more and instead had the manager help Kiana put on her protective gear.

After all, the balls that Chiba Academy practices with are the same solid balls as those in the high school!

It still hurts a lot when it hits someone!

After the female managers helped Kiana put on her protective gear, Kiana waved her bat and shouted, "Home run, here I come!"

"Oh!"

Kiana's confidence made everyone cheer. To be honest, normally when there are runners on first and second base, the fifth batter, as a bases clearer, is extremely important.

But now the fifth member is a girl, which has left everyone dumbfounded, especially the younger members, who are all furious.

When Kiana walked into the area where the attackers were stationed, the coach, who was acting as the referee, spoke up, "You're Yoshiba's stargazer?"

"???"

Both the catcher and Kiana looked puzzled. The catcher looked at his usually stern coach with some oddness, "Coach Kiyomoto, who is this junior...?"

"Hmm, it seems like it is the one you said you wanted to hit a home run?" Kiyomoto wasn't sure, but based on Yoshiba's description of shouting in the office, it should be him.

“Yes, I’m sure I can hit a home run!” Kiana exclaimed with unwavering confidence, which silenced Coach Kiyomoto. However, he was by nature a man of few words, and simply said seriously, “Then try hitting the ball onto that scoreboard!”

"Alright, just you wait and see!" Kiana confidently gripped the bat and stretched out her stance, but Kanai hesitated to throw the ball, making Kiana a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but shout, "Hey, are you going to throw or not!"

"You're standing in the wrong place, stand behind the line..." Coach Kiyomoto pointed out with a black line on his face. He then realized that Kiana seemed to know nothing about it.

"Okay!" Kiana stood behind the line, estimated the distance between herself and the catcher, and stood a little further away to avoid being hit by the catcher.

This was immediately noticed by Kanai, who then launched a long ball into the corner, which Kiana, with her excellent athleticism, naturally caught.

The bat in his hand swung with great force, creating a powerful gust of wind with each swing. Unfortunately, the wind was louder than the bat, and there was still some distance between the bat and the baseball, causing the bat to miss the ball.

"Good shot!" Coach Qingping silently counted. Although Kiana looked a bit dull, her athletic ability was indeed outstanding. She was just a bit too green and hadn't received any training.

On the second throw, Kanai realized that this seemingly clueless junior was just a newbie, so he confidently threw a slider. The ball came out of his right hand and traced an arc from the upper right corner to the lower left corner.

This time, Kiana caught the ball's trajectory, but missed the timing and the ball's center of gravity. The ball collided with the bat, making a crisp sound.

"Out of bounds!"

Kiana hitting the ball surprised everyone, and Li Ming and Himeko were cheering her on from the sidelines.

However, Kiana was completely focused, her icy blue eyes fixed on Kinui's right hand.

The instant the ball slipped from Kanai's hand, Kiana caught its trajectory and speed, and her bat rang out crisply, sending the ball flying.

The solid ball flew high toward the scoreboard with Kiana's powerful swing. Kiana didn't put down her bat, but stood next to Coach Kiyohira, holding the bat in her right hand and shielding her brow with her left. After the ball made a soft thud on the scoreboard, Kiana brandished her bat at Coach Kiyohira, "See? I told you it would work!"

A home run!

This really shocked Qingping. This wasn't a stargazer, this was a living father!
