Chapter 10: Ball Game Tournament Time

"The crappy weather's finally over!" Sugino exclaimed with his hands behind his head, as Nagisa, Karma, and I were strolling on the main campus.

"It's gonna get hot soon." Nagisa added.

"Let's start spending more time outside. I wanna be more active." Sugino said.

"Sounds good. You know I'm game." Nagisa said.

"What would the three of you say to some fishing?" Karma asked.

"Fishing? That sounds like it'd be fun. What's in season?" Nagisa inquired.

Karma had devil horns and a tail as he began to explain what 'fishing' was, "In the summer months, delinquents are out in droves. Use Shiniko as bait, and there's no limit to how many of the bastards we can shake down."

"Sounds like fun," I said, as devil horns and a tail sprouted. "But personally, I would use Nagisa as bait, just dress him up a bit and he'll be perfect." I added.

"I didn't realize delinquents had a 'season'." Nagisa said.

"Seriously, though, let's do something." Sugino complained.

"There's always the beach," Nagisa suggested.

"That sounds nice, I've always wanted to see how Shorty would look in a swimsuit," Karma added.

"You damn pervert!" I exclaimed and swung my bag at his head, hard. "And quite calling me 'Shorty'." I added

"Ow, that hurts, Shorty~" He teased, getting on all of my nerves.

I'm not that short damnit!

They walked by the baseball field to see one of the teams practicing, and two girls who were praising the team, more like the captain, as he threw the ball.

"Hey, hey! Look who it is!" he exclaimed, gaining the team's attention. "Long time no see, Sugino!"

The whole team gathered to where Sugino was and started talking to each other.

"Burning the candle at both ends is a privilege of the gifted." the captain said.

"Humility much?" Karma provoked, "Wow, sounds to me like somebody thinks they're one of the chosen ones."

"Heh, I am." the captain boasted, "You don't believe me? Fine. See how you feel after watching me in the tournament. There's great, then there's everybody else. Now guess which one I am. That's just the way things are. I don't make the rules."

I sighed as I held my forehead, "If only your IQ was as high as your ego." I roasted. "Come on guys, let's go." I walked ahead with a victory smirk as the others followed, leaving "The Chosen One" with his jaw on the ground.

In class, Koro-sensei got confused as to why E Class played the exhibition game, so some of the students explained why that was.

"If you dweebs wanna be a laughingstock, fine. Me an' the boys got too much self-respect. We're out." Terasaka said as he started to walk out with Muramatsu and Yoshida.

"Chicken~" I yanked his chain as he growled and stormed out.

Isogai tried to stop them, but they left. Soon the student's attention went to Sugino, since he was a baseball player prior to joining E Class. He started explaining how screwed they were, but he still wanted to beat the team.

"The odds aren't in our favor, but-" Sugino stopped when he saw Koro-sensei.

"Swing, battah-battah! Sa-wing, battah!" Koro-sensei shouted with a plant in his mouth and he had a baseball outfit on, as well as other baseball related things. 

He became Coach Koro and said he'd help the guys practice for the tournament, and occasionally I stayed and watched them practice. 

There wasn't much the girls could do, but I still took some time off and practiced. Basketball is not my strong suit.

The day of the tournaments arrived, the girls went into the gym and the guys went onto the field. 

Everyone was wearing their blue gym outfit, but I didn't want the wings to show. So, I used some bandages to bond the wings and busts close to my body so I can move around easier and no one would be suspicious about the wings.

Soon, the games started. I helped as much as I could, but even with all my efforts we still lost.

"Wow. That was a beating." Nakamura commented, as the girls walked out of the gym with Irina.

"No worries. There's always next time, yeah?" Kataoka tried to lighten up the mood.

"It was my fault. My suckage dragged the whole team down." Kayano said miserably.

"Aw, c'mon. That isn't true." Kataoka disagreed.

"We all sucked. Except one..." Nakamura said and looked over to me, "Shiniko played like there was no tomorrow."

"It was nothing, really," I protested. "I just wanted to prove them wrong."

"It's just, the other team had huge, jiggly boobs." Kayano continued, "Ugh! Made me so mad I couldn't concentrate."

"What on earth is the deal with you and your hatred of big boobs?!" Okano exclaimed.

"It's complicated!" Kayano replied.

"Anyways. Let's hope the boys are doing better than we did." Hayami added, as they continued walking over to the field.

When we got to the field, I instantly recognized the man helping the other team. 

It was none other than the principal himself. 

I scanned the field and saw Koro-sensei disguised as a baseball, he looked stressed. I went into the dugout where all the other players were sitting.

I watched our team play the game, but then I saw the principal sitting with the team captain and saying something to him, in a very brainwashing way.

The second inning started and Karma was up.

"Hang on. Never pegged you as the type to play dirty, sir. If the rules haven't changed, this little gambit ain't legal. They're bogarting the infield. Umpire should've called 'em on it by now. Aw, c'mon. Anyone else smell a rat, or is it just me?" he started trash talking. 

"Oh! Never mind. You guys are morons. Baseball's like a foreign language to you." The crowd of students near him started shouting at him, they were angry.

I looked over to the principal, and gave him a smile and a small, unnoticeable wave. He smiled back and nodded before focusing on the game again. 

The game was quite intense, somehow the baseball team has the upper hand and is dominating E Class.

The other team started using E Classes strategy against them and started bunting. When the captain, Shindo, was up for bat, he had a scary aura around him.

I have to admit, I was slightly scared at what Uncle could do...

It sent shivers down my spine.

After the teams decided what to do, everyone was shocked at how close two of the infielders were to the batter.

"Hey, Mr. Chosen one. Don't worry 'bout us. You might hit us with your swing, but we'll be fine." Karma stated.

"My, an obvious attempt at a bluff. Put everything you've got into the swing. Crack a skull if need be. The penalty will go to E Class for obstructing the batter." Principal Asano instructed Shindo.

He started getting nervous since he couldn't bring himself to do as the principal instructed. On the first swing, both Isogai and Karma managed to dodge the bat at the last second and Shindo missed the ball.

"On the next throw... swing like you're tryin' to kill us." Karma terrorized, as his aura suddenly became dark, scaring the batter a lot.

When Sugino threw the ball, Shindo was so shaken up, he missed the ball completely, letting ing bounce off the ground.

Karma jumped up and caught it, passing it to Nagisa, who passed it to Kimura, who then passed it over to Sugaya and won the game.

"Good job guys, you sure did better than we did," I congratulated and received many thanks as they were clearing off the field and Sugino went to talk with Shindo, eventually helping him up.
