Part 4

Open Campus Day.

It was a holiday, but today, junior high school students and their families from various areas were visiting the school, thinking about enrolling in Ousei Academy.

Yes, the school idol stage will be right after this.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Here, we will give you a tour of the school building.

Those who want to experience classes, please gather here.

Its not as big as a school festival, but there are some small performances, and its more like a regular festival or maybe as big as a typical school festival if its not too big.

Also, I did not expect that there would be a tour guide at the open campus.

A-amazingdo this many people come to the event every year?

As expected, weve never had so many visitors before. This must be the main reason why the student council president is actively promoting the news of the school idol.

I see

Listening to Kaoris explanation, I was once again reminded of Kitaraku-senpais incredible capabilities.

That man seemed to be acting in a chaotic manner, but it was truly amazing that he was constantly meeting his goals in such a manner.

W-well, it might be difficult for those who are swept away by his reckless behavior, though

So? What should I do?

Oh, yes. First, well go to the field where well introduce the baseball and soccer teams.

I understand.

As I walked with Kaori to the field, our first destination, there were many junior high school students gathered there, perhaps for the introduction of the club activities.

While I was watching my surroundings, a voice suddenly approached me.

Hey! Tenjou-kun!

Oh, Kitaraku-senpai!

And there, waving happily, was Kitaraku-senpai.

When I quickly joined him, he smiled at me.

Thanks for coming today!

N-no problem. So what exactly am I supposed to do? Im not in any special club activities or anything like that, but

Dont worry, dont worry! The student council will be doing the introductions for each club, and I want you to attend the events we have prepared for each club.

Y-yes.

Then it looks like people have gathered, so lets get started!

The introduction of the club activities began without a clear understanding of what was happening, and as Kitaraku-senpai said, the explanation of each club was done by a male student council officer.

The content itself was the past achievements and main activities of each club; there was no special change in the content.

I mean, do I really have to do anything? From the looks of it, I think this explanation alone is enough

The student council officer who explained the situation looked at me for a moment.

Well, now that the explanation is over since we gathered you all like this, lets play a little game today!

The student council officer continued as the surrounding people suddenly buzzed with excitement at his sudden words.

Lets start with the baseball team! Youre going to have a showdown with the students from the baseball team!

Huh?

I was completely distracted and surprised to be nominated here all of a sudden.

W-what do you mean, a showdown?

Some of you here might be thinking about joining the baseball team. So were planning to let you actually compete against the best our school has to offer and experience how great our club is!

Oh!

No, no, no! The students who came to see the event seemed very interested, but I am not a member of the baseball team, and I am not the best player!

Nevertheless, I was in no position to talk about such things, and things just went on.

The rules are simple! You, the challengers, will choose to be either a pitcher or a batter. If you choose to be the pitcher, Tenjou-kun will be the batter. On the other hand, if you choose to be the batter, Tenjou-kun will be the pitcher, and you will get one try.

I see

I dont know what his level is, but Im sure its difficult for him to play both sides, right?

..!

Despite being battered all over his body, the catcher turned around and gave a thumbs up with a smile as if to say that this was exactly what he wanted. Eehh?

I thought maybe it was just my imagination, but it looked like I really did throw hard. Still, the catcher, its amazing

As expected, he had tremendous fortitude, probably because he catches a variety of pitches in his daily club activities.

Then the batter, a junior high school student, opened his eyes again.

Ri-ridiculous I cant even see the ball? Th-This is!

In this situation, the catcher seemed to be looking for an even stronger pitch on the next pitch and sent a more intense signal than before. W-what an amazing determination!

So I threw the third pitch a little harder than before.

This time I tried to throw the ball with an awareness of putting my finger on it, or rather, giving it a little rotation.

The ball accelerated more than I expected and made the loudest noise of the day.

At the same time, the catcher also flew backward with great force and hit the fence with a loud bang.

I panicked and tried to run over to the catcher, but he immediately stood up and gave me a thumbs-up.

I was able to defeat the first challenger, but by that time, the way the junior high school students looked at me had changed drastically.

Oh, man

Theres no way I can hit with that speed

No, no, no, its so fast that the ball disappears. Isnt that the best magic ball?

As Kitaraku-senpai and the baseball team members nodded their heads as if they were satisfied with the reactions of the people around them, the student council officer raised his voice again.

Well, the first game was won by Tenjou-kun! What do you think? Who wants to try next?

W-well, then Ill be next!

The one who said that was a junior high school student who was taller and had longer arms and legs than the boy who had just stepped out.

Unlike the boy who just stepped out, he picked up a ball and a glove.

Im going to try out as a pitcher.

Then, Tenjou-kun, youll take the batters position, right?

Y-yes.

Now Ill play as the batter

I played as a batter at the Nittei Academy the other day, so its still possible.

Then, when they saw me getting ready, the observers started murmuring again.

H-hes really going to play as a batter as well?

No, no, as expected, he cant be at the level of greatness either, can he?

You know, Tanaka, who just batted, is famous for being the best batter here

Anyway, Yamada, who is going to pitch next, is also said to be the best pitcher in the area

The other male student looked at me as I stood in the batters box amidst the various words flying around.

Sure, the pitching earlier was great. But thats not going to happen this time!

Saying this, he took a big swing and released the ball right at me.

I took a good look at the ball and immediately realized its range.

At the same time, I activated my Weakness Detection skill and immediately understood where to hit the ball with the bat to make it fly the farthest.

I then swung the bat to that point.

I timed it perfectly, and the ball went straight over the fence.

W-what?

I-I wonder whats going to happen to this one?

I hit it because I could aim from the first pitch, but maybe I have to play three pitches?

I thought about that, but with that one pitch, the other male student seemed to lose his will to fight and opened his mouth.

Im completely defeated. I dont even think its a coincidence that he hit it so perfectly.

Oh, the winner has already been decided. Now, who else wants to try their hand?

..

The student council officer urged again, but no one present raised their hand.
