Troy could only gulp, feeling a shiver run down his spine.
'Wait… I'm not batting next inning.' He thought, letting out a sigh of relief.
In fact, Ken was currently on track for a perfect game, having not given up a single hit or walk in the previous 8 innings. As long as he continued, Troy who was the lead-off batter would not get another chance to bat.
However, remembering the cold tone and terrifying grin on the guy's face, he had a bad premonition.
'He wouldn't give up a perfect game just to get back at me right?' He thought, suddenly feeling regret well up from inside.
Ken returned to the bench, his mood slowly recovering. If he didn't have his Dauntless trait, it was very possible that he would have snapped and done something that he would have regretted.
Despite considering walking the 9th batter and pitching to Troy once more, he had already discarded this idea. Perhaps if he had actually been injured he might have resorted to such things, but he now had a cool head.
