The Baseball Game.
Soon, the loud bell rang, signalling for school to be over. As soon as it rang, the boys began to run through the woods for the baseball game. After five minutes of them leaving, the girls were all outside, still in their gym kits, sighing.
"We're finally done." Suiko said.
"Hey, should we go watch the boys and cheer for them?" Aina asked.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Megu said. The girls then ran through the woods, except Saika, who just stood there. She put her hand on her arm and looked down. Yukiko stopped running and looked at Saika.
"Saika-Chan?" Yukiko questioned.
"I have... Things to do..." Saika said. Yukiko blinked twice before nodding.
"Ok. See you later." She said as she ran after the rest of the girls. Saika sighed.
"Why would people want to play a horrid sport that only injures you?" Saika asked.
"It's not all painful." Saika jumped and flinched back as Korosensei stood beside her.
"Where did you come from?! You scared the life out of me!" Saika exclaimed.
"Ah, sorry!" Korosensei said. Saika sighed.
"Shouldn't you be with the boys?" She asked.
"I think you need me more than they do." Korosensei said.
"Why would I need an octopus?" Saika asked.
"To teach you a lesson." Korosensei said. Saika just looked away from him. "Not every experience is good, like not every experience is bad. You experienced something, which has made you believe that everything that relates to baseball is bad." Korosensei explained.
"Because it is..." Saika said.
"But it's not. Baseball isn't all bad Sumi-Chan. Baseball is a sport, that many people enjoy, because they have fun while playing it. Yes. Baseball is a dangerous sport, but it is only dangerous if one person makes it so." Korosensei explained. Saika's grip on her arm tightened. "The only way of conquering your fear Sumi-San, is to face it. I thought it would be easy for the eldest child of the Sumi family." Korosensei said. Saika's eyes went wide as she looked at him.
"How did you know that?" She gasped.
"You resemble the picture the elder of the Sumi family." Korosensei explained. Saika sighed. "You should go and cheer for them. I know that it would help them." Korosensei said as he walked away.
"How... How will me being there help them?" She asked. Korosensei stopped.
"Sugino has seemed to have created a bond with you in this past week. I'm sure your cheering would help him feel more confident." Korosensei said before leaving through the woods, leaving Saika stood there in silence.
...
"Alright guys, now look alive. Class A has all members of the baseball team on their team, so, they're pretty good." Ayato explained.
"Right. We can do this." Yuma said.
"Right!" The rest said. On the team, there was Ayato, Akito, Tomohito, Yuma, Hiroto, Hideo, Haku, Ai, Karma, Masayoshi and Nagisa. They were batting first. Ayato was introduced as he picked up a bat. As he stood in front of the pitcher, the girls from E class and R class cheered, until they heard some screams from girls from other classes.
"It's Ayato-Sama!" Some cried.
"Sama?" Hinano questioned. Yuzuru giggled.
"A-a l-lot of the girls h-h-have a crush o-on Ayato-Kun." Yuzuru explained. The pitcher served a fast pitch at Ayato, who hit it into the field. He then ran to first base before the ball was back. The ball then hit first base and the girls cheered. Akito was up next. He sighed.
"I'm so going to lose this." He said.
"Come on Akito! You can do this!" The girls cheered. The pitcher served. Akito sighed as he bunted before running to the first post as Ayato ran to the second one.
"Nice one Akito!" Ayato shouted.
"So lame. Can't believe I bunted..." Akito sighed. All the baseball players on the other team nodded. Ai came up next. He got ready to swing as the pitched threw the ball, but suddenly, the ball went fast and it was about to hit Ai in the face. Ai's eyes went wide as he stepped back the catcher caught it. The boys eyes went wide as the pitcher smirked.
"What was that?" Rio gasped.
"Hey! Play fairly! You almost hit him!" Katsu shouted.
"You trying to kill him or something?!" Akashi shouted. Ai looked at the pitcher, who caught the ball, which the catcher threw to him.
"They're going to play rough so we lose." Ai thought. He then frowned. "You can try, but you won't succeed." He then thought as a shadow formed over his eyes.
"Akito. Get ready." Ayato said.
"Yeah. I see it." Akito said. The pitcher threw the ball once again and once again, it was about to hit Ai in the face, but Ai quickly went back and hit it. Everyone's eyes went wide as Ai hit the ball. As he did, everything went in slow motion as the pitcher made eye contact with him.
"I might not be an athlete, and I might not be as smart as A class, but, I'm not stupid enough to fall for something twice." Ai said. He then dropped the bat and began to run. Ayato had just made it past the third post, scoring a point, and not much longer after him, Akito went past, scoring another point. Ai was running past the second post when the ball was throw to the player on the third post. Ai then slid across the dirt and went past the post, just as the player caught the ball.
"In!"
"Yes!" The girls cheered.
1 hour later...
Although R-Class and E-Class were up for a good start, they weren't doing so great now. They were on their third part of the game. They were batting again. The score in total were 4-8. They were losing by 4 points.
"Damn it. We need to get higher than them. They're making this the final part." Ayato said.
"I can go first and scare them if you want." Hiedo said. The boys all sweat dropped.
"C'mon man. You're not that scary." Haku said.
"We need to get a home run. Nagisa and Yuma are the only ones at a base each." Akito said.
"Batting next, Haku Tenshi." Haku sighed as he picked up a bat.
"Good luck man." Akito said. Haku got ready to bat. The pitcher served and Haku hit it, but it didn't go far.
"Nice hit!" The girls shouted. Haku began to run towards the first base, but then the player at first base caught the ball.
"Batter out."
"Crap." Haku thought with a sigh before walking to a bench.
Meanwhile...
Saika was sat in the classroom. She sighed as she thought about hers and Korosensei's conversation.
"Sugino has seemed to have created a bond with you in this past week. I'm sure your cheering would help him feel more confident."
"This is stupid." She said with a sigh. She then got up and walked out of the classroom. She then walked out of the building and walked to the woods. She climbed to the top of a tree and could see the school. She looked at the baseball field and saw everyone. She couldn't see them clearly. She sighed once again before climbing down. Once she got to the ground, she ran through the woods.
