"Let's take a look at the video of the pitcher's hands when he throws the ball."

"Play".

"Take a good look, don't you find it strange?"

"This is the grip for a straight shot."

"He holds all the balls the same way."

"The knuckleball was originally designed to minimize the ball's spin, causing it to move irregularly."

"Bearing the ball with your index and middle fingers like this is the foundation for throwing a knuckleball."

As she spoke, Nao Tomori pulled out a baseball and demonstrated it in her hand.

"Using a straight grip will give the ball an upward spin when you throw it."

"It will definitely not be as elusive as it appears in the video."

Otosaka Souji stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then voiced his thoughts.

"That makes it much easier to understand."

"He must have used telekinesis to apply force to the ball when he threw it."

"To create the same elusive effect as a butterfly ball."

Otosaka Souji's statement was endorsed by Tomori Nao and Takagi Joshiro.

"That's pretty impressive!"

Yuzaki Nishimori, somewhat confused and surprised, said...

"It would be terrible if we couldn't control him before the Koshien tournament started."

Nao Tomori said with some concern.

Then, Nao Tomori gave another order.

"I'll be right there."

Otosaka Souji and Takashiro Joshiro had no objections, but Nishimori Yuzaki didn't know much about it.

"Oh, but we still have class."

"It's okay. No matter what you do, as long as you're a member of the student council, it won't affect your grades or evaluation."

"Ah, oh!"

——————

At the outdoor baseball field of Guannei Academy.

When Otosaka Souji and his team found their target, the target was still training.

Nao Tomori crossed her arms and got straight to the point.

"We are members of the student council of Star Ocean Academy."

"I'm still practicing. Is there something you need?"

"I'm sorry, but I'll just ask directly. You used telekinesis to throw the knuckleball, right?"

"Huh! Telekinesis? You mean superpowers? I... how could I possibly have superpowers? Are you guys the student council or the Occult Research Institute?"

"Listen carefully, please listen attentively."

Seeing the target still trying to argue, Nao Tomori patiently explained.

"This special ability is like a symptom of puberty."

"Even if you want to become a professional player, that ability may disappear by then."

"Not only that, but if someone notices your abilities..."

"They'll take you away and make your body unable to throw the ball anymore."

"Therefore, please do not use this special ability again in the future."

The target, Fukuyama Yuji, calmly countered with a question.

"Who will capture them?"

"Scientists who study people with superpowers like you."

"Are you asking me to believe such a ridiculous thing?"

"I understand. Now, please look at me."

Nao Tomori used her incomplete invisibility ability once again.

He disappeared and reappeared in front of Fukuyama Arisu.

"What?"

Do you believe it now?

Fukuyama Yuji lowered his head, bit his lip, and remained silent.

At this moment, Nishimori Yuzaki changed her personality and became Kuroba Misa.

Misa Kuroba is different from her younger sister Yuzaki Nishimori in terms of gentleness and cuteness.

Instead, she's more like a fiery and impulsive older sister.

"That's not decisive enough."

Can I burn him?

As she spoke, Misa Kuroba lit a flame in her palm and stared intently at Yuji Fukuyama.

"Don't reveal your abilities in places like this."

Nao Tomori turned around and began to preach.

"Pooh!"

Although Misa Kuroba was very unhappy, she still listened to Nao Tomori and put away the flames.

Takashiro saw Kuroba Misa spit on the ground using Nishimori Yuzaki's body.

He knelt on the ground in shock, staring at the spot soaked with saliva.

"Yuzaki-chan's drool!"

"No, this is Misa's saliva."

"Damn it, what should I do!"

Takashiro Jojiro knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, seemingly lost in thought.

However, the way Takashiro Takeshiro stared at the drool was really lewd and perverted.

"You perverted freak, get up right now."

Unable to stand it any longer, Tomori Nao shouted at Takagi Joshiro.

After being told that, Takagi Takeshiro reluctantly stood up from the ground.

With Fukuyama Yuji remaining silent, the situation reached a stalemate.

However, just as Nao Tomori was deep in thought, Souji Otosaka came up with a good idea.

"Tomotoshi, how about I decide the winner with baseball?"

"The two schools will hold a friendly baseball match."

"If we win, we'll make him listen to us."

Otosaka Souji's method gave Tomori Nao a brilliant idea.

"Sōji-kun, I didn't realize you were so smart."

Then, Nao Tomori repeated the method that Souji Otosaka had mentioned to Yuji Fukuyama.

"I understand. If we win, please stop bothering me."

“Okay, as long as you beat us, we promise not to bother you again. But you know you can’t become a professional player, so what made you do this? I don’t quite understand.”

"I want to go to Koshien Stadium, that's all."

"Understood. Next Sunday, 3 PM. How about the game on our school's playground?"
