"Kurosaki, for you, you can't accept the way the supervisor selects pitchers, and you don't understand what the supervisor insists on." Chris looked at Kurosaki Kazaka in front of him calmly, "For me, the same can't be said.
Accept your cunning and hypocrisy, someone who treats your teammates as dispensable tools."
Kurosaki Kazaka frowned when he heard this, and then sighed... Chris didn't know why Kurosaki Kazaka always liked to sigh, and he didn't want to know too much about it. After all, this junior student was too thoughtful.
Complex and good at disguise, trying to understand can easily lead to confusion.
"Kurosaki, you can go running and training with the other first-year students later." Chris said calmly. As for today's pitching training, there is really no way to continue.
Kurosaki nodded, and when Chris was about to leave after finishing speaking, he called him, "Senior,"
Chris turned his head and looked at Kurosaki Kazaka who called him out. He didn't speak, but simply stared at him.
"You have worked hard today!"
Chris frowned, wondering what the purpose of Kurosaki Kazuko's behavior at this time was? It was impossible for him not to understand that it was impossible for him to trust him anymore, let alone maintain the illusion of being friendly with him.
"I respect the seniors very much and have no intention of offending them."
Kurosaki noticed that Senior Chris was frowning, as if he was tired of his continuous nonsense.
"Senior, after you finish today's rehabilitation, you will tell Director Kataoka about our current conversation!"
Chris thought for a moment and soon understood.
"I am a person who only wants to enter professional baseball, so I can endure everything. No matter what kind of people I work with, no matter what situation I face, I can accept it, but I can't accept not being able to play."
"If Director Kataoka cannot accept a pitcher who cannot be obsessed with the pitcher's mound, then please inform me in time, senior, and I need to prepare in advance."
"After all, high school baseball only lasts two and a half years, and I don't have time to stay..."
Is he planning to quit the company and transfer to another school?! Chris knows that this is the underlying meaning of what he said.
"I just want to enter professional baseball." After Kurosaki finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Chris: "Please, senior."
…
After Kurosaki said goodbye to Chris, he returned to court B alone. He sighed, scratched the back of his head, his face was full of exhaustion, and he could see the players coming and going.
Because he usually had a good reputation, many people would say hello to him, but now Kurosaki Kazaka was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Facing the team members' greetings, he nodded very calmly and then left straight away.
"Strange, what's going on with that guy?"
"I'm usually very polite, but what happened today..."
"Well, I also think that Kurosaki guy is a little weird?"
Ikko Kurosaki ignored the comments behind him and walked towards the B court.
…
May 13th, Saturday at 8 a.m.
The leader of the Eastern Qing Dynasty came over with the schedule and distributed it to others, and everyone in the first army gathered together in twos and threes to study it.
"My opponent in the first round is Maoka Gong."
"The opponent in the second round is Tsuchiura Hubei?"
"Yokohama is our opponent in the three rounds. If we win, the opponent in the semi-finals will most likely be Osaka Kiryu or Tokai Daikofu."
Director Kataoka soon came to the practice room and asked the members of the first army to assemble, "This spring Kanto regional high school fieldball competition will be held in Tochigi Prefecture. Because the captain had bad luck when drawing lots, he needs to start from the first battle.
So we will set off for Tochigi Prefecture this afternoon, with the goal of winning the Spring Kanto Tournament."
"Yes!" Everyone in Qingdao responded loudly.
Director Kataoka continued to arrange: "The Spring Kanto Tournament is a continuous competition for five days. Players in some positions may need to play for five days in a row. Everyone must conserve their physical strength to cope with the tight schedule of the Spring Kanto Tournament."
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.
"Let's run ten laps first, and then do basic fielding exercises. Today's training will end at 12 noon, and we will leave for Tochigi Prefecture at 15 pm on time." After Supervisor Kataoka finished speaking, he turned and left the practice room.
As the captain, Dong Qingguo led the team members to run around the outdoor court.
Time soon came to noon. The members of the First Army had lunch, packed their luggage, and got on the school bus on time at 15:00 to set off for Tochigi Prefecture.
The accommodation place that Takashima Rei arranged for everyone in Qingdao this time was an old-style B&B.
"Wow, it's an open-air hot spring."
"I haven't seen this brand of milk for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be available here."
“The scenery here is really nice.”
After putting away their backpacks and golf equipment, everyone in Qingdao wandered around the B&B to familiarize themselves with the environment, and thus made various exclamations of surprise.
Everyone in Qingdao walked around the B&B before returning to their rooms to pick up their bats, put on their running shoes, and prepared to use the time before dinner to practice swinging the bat.
Only by seizing all the time available for practice can you not be left behind by others and have the confidence to face any opponent, strong or weak.
At around 10 a.m. on May 14th, Aomichi will play against their first-round opponent, Tochigi Prefecture's Koko Mooka, at Utsunomiya Kiyohara Stadium. Director Kataoka arranged for Yagami Ya to start the game, and first-year Miyuki Kazu also served as catcher.
After giving up only one run in five innings, he was replaced by first-year relief pitcher Takuya Kimura.
The game finally won the first round with 5:3 and entered the second round. The opponent was Tsuchiura Hubei from Ibaraki Prefecture.

In the end, they won the second round with a score of 12:4 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Spring Kanto Conference.
The opponent in the three rounds is Kanagawa Prefecture's Yokohama. The other group in the same half zone is Yamanashi Prefecture's Tokai Daikofu who defeated Osaka Kiryu 5:4 against Gunma Prefecture's Kiryu Shishang; the other two teams in the half zone are
The duels were between the city's top three teams vs. Saitama Prefecture's Washumiya, Chiba Prefecture's Tokai Ourayasu vs. Gunma Prefecture's Tono Dai...
"We are all old rivals. Tomorrow we will compete with Yokohama first, and then Tokai Daikofu will face Kiryu City Sho. Remember to rest early tonight." On the way back to the B&B in the car after the game, the captain Tokiyoshi watched.
He drew a red line schedule for promotion and spoke to the others who were resting on the school bus.
"Yes." They knew they had to go to bed early tonight without Dong Qingguo's instructions.
