After leaving the Inji Shrine Stadium, Yagami went to a nearby vending machine, found a vending machine with relatively few people in line, and waited in line.
"Iori!"
Hearing someone calling him, Yagami turned around and saw that the person standing behind him was the city's third-year student, Shinaka Kaname.
"Machinaka." Yagami greeted the other party.
The person in front bought the drinks very quickly, and soon both of them bought the drinks and left together.
"This time our two schools happen to be in different half districts." Manaka took a sip of his drink and said.
"Yeah, it seems we won't meet until the finals." Yagami nodded.
"I heard that Inagi Industrial has a very good first-year pitcher this year." Manaka glanced at Yagami Yagami. Aomichi and Inagi Industrial are in the same half zone. If nothing else happens, they will meet in the semifinals.
Speaking of that powerful first-year pitcher, Yagami Yagami had read his information. He was the most famous ace pitcher in the Kanto region when he was in junior high school.
"So what? Whether it's Daocheng Industrial or your city's junior, I will defeat you."
"What a loud mouth!" Ma Zhong Kaname took another sip of his drink: "It seems that we can only meet Ma Zhang on the playing field!"
"See you on the field," Iori Yagami saw the figure of Chris in front of him, and walked quickly forward: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Manaka waved goodbye in the same way, and then went to look for his teammates.
When Iori Yagami took a closer look, he realized that Chris was walking straight ahead of Zaimae of Kuroshikan.
"Has Caimae's injury healed?" Yagami asked.
Chris nodded: "He said he has recovered and can play."
"It's really great to be able to catch up with the Hagar qualifiers." Yagami sighed softly, thankful that the injuries to Chris and Naomi Zaizen were not serious enough to directly ruin their high field careers.
Iori Yagami and Chris quickly found the school bus on Qingdao. After the two of them got on the bus, Dong Qingguo counted the number of people and found that there were still two people who had not returned, so he got off the bus and waited for them.
After a while, Yuki Tetsuya and Isashiki Jun ran back together, and were patted on the head by someone from Tou Qingguo.
"What happened? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Murasuke Daiki asked, looking at Tetsuya Yuuki and the others who were breathing heavily after sitting down.
"We went to the toilet and came out. Zhe looked in the wrong direction, and we ran to the exit on the other side." Jun Isashiki said speechlessly: "Yinyin has been here several times, and he can still point you to the wrong way."
"Sorry." Yuki Tetsu didn't dare to say anything more and apologized obediently.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go back to school." Takashima Rei counted the number of people again, made sure that everyone in the first army was there, and said to the driver.
"When we come here again, we have to wait for the semi-finals." Takashi Fujii looked back at the Inji Jingu Stadium behind him and said with emotion.
"The first goal is to come back here again." Dong Qingguo, the captain of the team, said solemnly. Although it is not difficult for Qingdao to return to the Onji Jingu Stadium, they still cannot take it lightly just because of this.
As a seed school, Seido does not need to participate in the first round. Compared with other non-seed schools, it has many more days for training and preparation. (ps: Only in East Tokyo are there teams that can directly enter the third round)
, West Tokyo does not need to participate in the first round at most, and will start fighting from the second round.)
After returning to school, after a short lunch break, Dong Qingguo took his bat to the pitching practice area and found that everyone else was practicing enthusiastically. Several pitchers from the first army were feeding the batters, even the first graders.
Takuya Kimura was helping a few sophomores in the first army feed the ball and looked around.
"Hey! That one over there..." Dong Qingguo discovered that among the first-year students, among the people doing basic training, there was one person. He remembered that he performed well in the previous competition between new and old students, and he was also a side shooter: "
That first grader...is called...Kawakami, yes! Kawakami! Come here."
"Ah...yes!" Kenshi Kawakami, who was called by his senior, stood up straight nervously, and then ran to Dong Qingguo with stiff limbs.
"...Higashi-senpai." Kawakami Kenshi, who was suddenly called over by his senior for some unknown reason, stood in front of Tou Qingguo with his head lowered.
"I'm short of a pitcher to pitch for me. You go and prepare, and then pitch for me." Dong Qingguo looked at Kawakami Kenshi's nervous look and frowned.
"Yes..." Kenshi Kawakami responded with a hint of trembling, and then went up to get the pitcher's ball cover and protective gear.
Dong Qingguo stood there with his right hand on his waist, watching Kawakami Kenshi's figure gradually running away, and then looked back at Koichiro Tanba, who was in the second grade.
Kenshi Kawakami, a first-year student, must be too timid, and Koichiro Tanba, a second-year student, is also like this. It really makes people worry about Aomichi's future.
After they retire this time, the pressure on the pitching staff will probably be solely on Yagami Yagami for a long time.
Although Kimura Takuya is good, he still needs time to grow. It will take at least the spring of a cloudy year to become the main force of Seido's pitching staff. If Kurosaki does not transfer, he should be able to become the main force of Seido's pitching staff in the fall.
It also made most people in the baseball club confused as to why he wanted to transfer schools.
Is it because after the competition between old and new students, Supervisor Kataoka promoted Kimura to the First Army and kept him in the Second Army? In addition, he ignored him after that, even the Second Army and
Is it because other schools don't let him play in practice games?
Supervisor Kataoka's approach may be biased, but Dong Qingguo believes that Supervisor has his own ideas and reasons for doing this!
"Higashi-senpai, I'm ready." Although Kawakami Kenshi was very afraid of Higashi-senpai, he quickly completed his preparations for throwing the ball and trotted back to Higashi Qingguo.
"Pitch it, any ball path is fine." Dong Qingguo put on his batting cap, patted his belly, raised the bat, pointed at Kanonoshi Kawakami and said: "Pitch the ball with all your strength!
"
"Yes!" Kawakami Kenshi picked up a baseball from the ball frame, hesitated for a moment, took a good posture, swung his arm, and threw it hard.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
The flying baseball was violently knocked away by Dong Qingguo and directly hit the outer protective net.
"No, why is it so soft and has no strength at all! Kawakami, have you eaten three big bowls at each meal?" Dong Qingguo pointed at Kawakami Kenshi with the bat and said: "Pitch the ball vigorously!"
"Yes!" Kawakami Kenshi really didn't understand why Higashi-senpai, the captain of the team, suddenly came to him and asked him to help throw the ball. When he thought of the baseball that Higashi-senpai had easily hit just now, he became very nervous.
of tension.
But under the fierce gaze of Dong Qingguo, Kawakami Kenshi could only grit his teeth, wave his arms, and throw the baseball in his hand with all his strength.
