Third Person's POV

"Everyone, if you wanted to win, we need first to reinvented ourselves and slowly put the hurdles."

Koshuu's attention was at his senpais, they all looked at Sawamura. He could feel the pressure and expectation of them.

However, Sawamura never fails to show his determination. He notice how some of their teammates shake their head and ignore him.

'They're all accustomed with this inside joke that they can hurt him like this?'

He intently look on the reaction of Sawamura, pero nakapaskil ang masaya at mapaglaro nitong expression.

It's killing you, but you didn't want to show it.

"Sawamura-senpai, let's go pratice." Inaya niya na agad ang nakakatanda bago pa ito makita na lumapit sa Captail nila.

He saw na magrereact palang ang Senpai niya ngunit nahigit niya na siya.

"Wow.." Sawamura looks so amused with Okumura Koshuu.

"It's been a while since I've got myself a practice buddy." kita ang tunay na galak sa mukha nito, ngunit ang pinapahiwatig niya sa salita niya ay malalim at nakakalungkot.

Napatingin ito sa bola, ngumiti ito bago hinagis sa hindi pamilyar na pitch, wala sa arsenal nito an pitch niya.

Koshuu couldn't catch it.

Ilang beses ay iba iba na ang nangyayari.

"Senpai, are you having an off-" Natigilan siya nang marealize na, pasok naman ang mga bola na sinasalo niya. It was not his current pitches.

Nanlalaki ang matang tumingin siya dito. "I'm sorry, I experimented a bit, let's practice the usual."

"No, Senpai! Are you a genius?" Gulat niyang tanong.

Natawa naman si sawamura dito at namaywang. "Yes!!"he toned it down himself nang mapansin niya na nakatingin lang sa kaniya ang catcher niya.

"Let's carefully fix some of them, it will be beneficial for you." Bahagyamg ngumiti ito kay Sawamura.

Nakatitig lamang ito sa kaniya at bahagyang ngumiti.
