Chapter 6: The Greatest Genius Ever Appears

Soo-hyun wanted revenge.

On her ex-wife who abandoned her.

On the people who insulted her parents and drove her to death with words sharper than knives.

And on baseball, the source of it all.

But the moment she witnessed the pure, unadulterated desire for revenge, Soo-hyun realized.

‘How pitiful, a being possessed by the illusion of revenge, turned into a demon.’

A bright light emanated from Soo-hyun’s chest.

The faint light gradually intensified, eventually radiating white and consuming everything.

Nothingness.

And.

Time began to move again.

[Trait has evolved]

[Boob Movement (EX):

…Movement rating of all pitches increases by 3 levels.

The control rating of the opposing pitcher who observes the batting preparation stance decreases by up to 3 levels.]

‘This is… a new power!’

I don’t plan on being a two-way player.

You should have given me more pitcher traits.

Tsk.

But there was no time for complaints.

Ricky, who had been waiting on the mound, began his pitching motion.

“You’re not ready yet!”

Grrr!

Indonesia’s strongest man, Ricky Rahman, threw a 157 km/h four-seam fastball with his soul, as if it would pierce

through the catcher’s mitt.

However.

The effect of the newly evolved Boob Movement (EX) was amazing!

Ricky’s mistake pitch flew right into the sweet spot of Soo-hyun’s bat, which she was holding up with both hands in

the middle of the strike zone.

All Soo-hyun did was stand still and hold her bat.

Thump, roll.

\- The game is over.

\- Participant Jung Soo-hyun is the winner.

“Gah!”

“I, I have lost…”

“The Rahman family pledges allegiance to you…”

“Hey, Mr. Ricky.”

“Yes?”

“That was a good match.”

“Here, shake hands.”

174cm Jung Soo-hyun, who was just a small Asian girl compared to the 2m giant Ricky, shook hands.

“But we’re the same age, you know?”

“Could you stop calling me a girl?”

“Oh, really?”

“I was wrong.”

“I apologize.”

But this handshake photo was never used as a symbol of Korean-Indonesian harmony through sports.

This was because the issue of non-payment of the KF-21 contribution remained an unresolved problem in 2030.

“Jung Soo-hyun!”

“Jung Soo-hyun!”

After defeating the ‘Monster of Denpasar’ Ricky Rahman, Soo-hyun looked around the stands at the sound of her

name being chanted.

In one part of the stands, there were Koreans holding a placard with her name on it.

About ten Koreans, consisting of local residents and long-term travelers, had come to cheer for Soo-hyun.

“Thank you!”

“I’ll definitely make it to the finals!”

“Jung Soo-hyun!”

“Jung Soo-hyun!”

After the match, Dae-joon greeted Soo-hyun with a bright smile as she came down to the waiting area.

“Soo-hyun, you’ve become a star!”

“Now even the people of Bali will recognize you.”

“You completely overwhelmed that Ricky.”

“Was he famous?”

“I thought he might be a comedian.”

“He’s the ace of the Indonesian national baseball team.”

“Also, his family is a very prestigious one.”

The Major League Baseball office had turned its eyes to Southeast Asia as the first region to expand the base of

baseball.

It was no coincidence that this Greatest Baseball Tournament was being held on the island of Bali.

“The next opponent is… Chris Parker.”

“Right?”

“He’s ranked 6th in the BA prospect rankings.”

“But you don’t have to be intimidated.”

“He’s a pitcher too, after all.”

“Got it?”

Chris Parker (22).

A rising star who had recorded the highest velocity in American college baseball history, 170 km/h (106 mph).

“Don’t worry.”

“There’s no way I’d lose to a pitcher, right?”

Soo-hyun expressed her confidence by shrugging her shoulders and puffing out her chest.

There was a basis for Soo-hyun’s confidence.

Ten days ago.

DJ Baseball Academy strategy meeting room.

“But what if the opponent also uses the bunt strategy?”

“Will it become the Greatest Bunt Tournament?”

“Should I practice bunting too?”

“It’s unlikely that there will be many crazy people like that.”

“But if Soo-hyun keeps winning with bunts, there will definitely be someone who will counter with bunts.”

The winning plan that Dae-joon devised for Soo-hyun.

Strikeout and wait for a bunt.

Or bunt and wait for a strikeout.

There were three reasons why only Soo-hyun could execute this tactic 120%.

“First.”

“There’s probably no batter who can hit your deception and movement on their first encounter.”

“That’s true even for the best major leaguers.”

“That’s true.”

“Men can’t help themselves when they see a new woman.”

“Isn’t that the same for women?”

“Anyway, second.”

“There aren’t many kids these days who can bunt properly like you, Soo-hyun.”

“They hardly practice bunting because of sabermetrics.”

“That’s right.”

“Pitchers don’t practice because they don’t have a chance to bat.”

“Exactly.”

“And third.”

“Newton’s third law.”

“The end.”

“What’s that, you f*cking nerd coach?”

As a result of a coin toss, Soo-hyun’s offense started the match against Chris Parker.

I’ll just watch the first pitch.

Although she had devoted her life to baseball, it was Soo-hyun’s first time facing a ball over 160 km/h at the plate.

Gulp.

[Boob Movement (EX) trait is activated]

After completing his windup, Chris Parker’s four-seam fastball left his hand and flew at an angle close to a three-

quarter.

Whoosh!

Thud-!

“Ball!”

Chris Parker, who was said to lack control compared to his velocity and stuff.

The new passive ability of Boob Movement (EX) was the worst possible matchup for Chris.

But even if his control was a bit shaky, the overwhelming power of his pitches was still the same.

164 km/h?

Wow.

It’s no joke from the first pitch.

Soo-hyun felt the competitive spirit that had made her think about swinging just once disappear.

Let’s just focus on winning.

Soo-hyun openly took a bunt stance and waited for Chris’s pitch.

Whoosh!

Thud!

“Ball!”

Not wanting to give up a bunt easily, Chris threw another two-seam fastball outside, but Soo-hyun quickly pulled her

bat back.

The count was 2-0.

Soo-hyun was still in a bunt stance.

Chris frowned and thought for a moment, then threw his third pitch.

Whoosh!

Thump, roll.

Soo-hyun’s bunt fell to the ground, rolled, and stopped, and it was declared fair.

\- Participant Jung Soo-hyun’s batted ball distance is 1.7m.

\- The two players switch offense and defense.

There was nothing to criticize about Chris’s play.

If he had continued to throw outside, the count would have become unfavorable, increasing the possibility of giving

up a walk.

Throwing a breaking ball would only make it easier to bunt.

He didn’t want to give up a bunt, but he overcame that temptation and made the decision with the highest

probability of winning.

The only problem was that his opponent was Soo-hyun.

‘That was a good decision, Chris.’

‘But even the best choices are ultimately regretted by humans.’

[Boob Movement (EX) trait is activated]

There had never been a deception like this before.

Is this a baseball or a bowling ball?

Chris couldn’t take his eyes off the shaking, which he had never experienced even when his girlfriend, Catherine, the

captain of the cheerleading squad at Ukra University, was on top of him.

Thud!

Soo-hyun’s 132 km/h four-seam fastball came in slightly below the strike zone.

“Strike!”

What, I like Asian women now?!

That was the thought that flashed through Chris’s mind, who misunderstood the effect of Boob Movement.

As was the case with Fajar Rahman, the effect of the Boob Movement trait varied in intensity depending on the

individual’s level of activity.

Fajar Rahman, who was called the ‘Three-times-a-day-guy’.

Chris Parker, who was nicknamed the ‘California Dive Bomber’.

Against these two, Boob Movement (EX) was exhibiting an effect that went beyond deception and into the realm of

mind control.

‘No, Chris, focus.’

‘If I lose to an Asian hottie and go back, I don’t know what Catherine will do to me!’

Thinking of his fierce girlfriend back home brought back some of his lost focus.

Chris’s mental fortitude was truly that of an elite athlete.

But Soo-hyun’s four-seam fastball with Boob Movement (EX) felt close to 162 km/h.

Even if the same pitch came again, Chris wasn’t confident he could hit it.

Chris, abandoning his pride, took a bunt stance and stared into Soo-hyun’s eyes.

It was a determined will to never look anywhere else.

Soo-hyun didn’t care about Chris’s actions and stretched both arms above her head.

‘There’s a lie men tell themselves when they go on blind dates.’

She raised her left leg and twisted her hips.

‘They say they look into a woman’s eyes.’

She put all her weight into it and swung her right arm vigorously.

‘When in fact, they’re busy sneaking glances at her chest!’

Goodbye, Mr. Chris.

I can see where you were looking just now.

Boing~

Soo-hyun’s signature titty change-up began its first rotation on its journey to end this match.
