"Senior Yagami, hit the ball quickly and straight." Miyuki Kazuya also set up and opened the ball cover in his hand, shouting to Yagami Ye.
Iori Yagami looked at Miyuki Kazuya who was getting closer and closer. He put his left hand in the ball sleeve to hold the ball tightly and grasped the baseball in his hand. He raised his right leg high and fell heavily. He twisted his waist and abdomen and concentrated all his strength on it.
The fingertips of his left hand pushed the baseball out of his hand.
The baseball whizzing from the pitcher's box made a sharp sound and rushed straight into Miyuki Kazuya's ball cover. He squeezed the ball cover hard to quiet the baseball caught in the ball cover.
"Good shot!" someone applauded.
As soon as Miyuki Kazuya turned his head, he saw several seniors from the First Army standing aside at some point, watching the capture practice between him and Senior Yagami.
"Is the speed of the ball just now 150km/h?" Someone asked the classmate who was holding a speed gun to measure the speed.
"It's a little off, the ball speed is 149km/h." The classmate holding the speed gun informed the others of the ball speed measured by the speed gun.
"This freshman has a good voice when catching the ball and his hands are very steady."
The other students watching nearby also inevitably talked about Miyuki Kazuya.
Although the ball speed does not reach 150km/h, the power and tail power of the ball... are really amazing!
Before Chris got injured, did he have to catch balls like this every day? I'm really envious.
Miyukiichi also moved his numb wrist, stood up, walked to Yagami Yagami and Matsuda Kentaro who were discussing the next pitching practice, and handed the baseball in his hand to Matsuda Kentaro: "Senior, too.
You’re here to practice, here you go.”
Kentaro Matsuda glanced at Kazuya Miyuki, and then he remembered that the new student in front of him was the specially recruited catcher that Director Kataoka told him about, both in terms of strength and talent.
But just as he was about to say something, Yagami Ye beat him to it and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you today. I had a great time voting."
After Yagami finished speaking, he took the baseball from Miyuki Kazuya's hand and prepared to leave. Upon seeing this, Kentaro Matsuda could only say hello to Miyuki Kazuya and left with Yagami.
…
At 5:30 in the morning on April 7, it was just dawn. Kimura Takuya was walking alone on the path to the baseball club. Before the morning meeting started, he planned to use the remaining half hour to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.
It was not until nearly six o'clock that Kimura Takuya met other teenagers wearing baseball club uniforms and realized that today's morning meeting was about to begin, so he followed the others to the gathering place.
Kimura Takuya stood next to the green fence near the stadium. There were not many people like him alone around him. Most people were gathered together in several groups, chatting with each other.
"First-year students, come and assemble here." A loud shout came towards the first-year students.
Kimura Takuya turned his head and looked around. A man in his thirties wearing a baseball club uniform came into view. At this time, this man was standing in the center of the stadium, waiting for them to gather.
Kimura Takuya walked towards the man. On the contrary to his leisurely stroll, most of the other freshmen chose to trot over.
On the empty court, the freshmen who had just joined the club lined up neatly in three teams, looking at the 1.84-meter-tall man in front of them.
The man's serious face was wearing a pair of sunglasses, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.
"Good morning!" the first-year students shouted together.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Supervisor Teshin Kataoka, and welcome everyone to the baseball club of Aomichi High School."
Kataoka's voice was loud and clear, with his hands behind his back, and his fierce eyes staring directly at the teenagers in front of him, making people dare not look at them easily and feel fearful.
Kimura Takuya was the first one on the left side of the first team. He first glanced at Director Kataoka who was introducing himself, and then looked behind Director Kataoka, where there was also standing in front of him wearing the uniform of the baseball club.
A second- and third-year senior who is a freshman.
"Ah, I'm so sleepy..." Behind Director Kataoka, Nozomi Yagyu, who was standing with the second and third grade seniors, let out a big yawn.
If Director Kataoka hadn't asked her to take part in the freshman test this afternoon, asking her to use her strong strength to inspire the students across from her, she wouldn't have come to school so early.
After all, she wants the people from the men's baseball club to help and train with her, so it is unavoidable that she sometimes has to be a tool for the men's baseball club.
"Are all the applicants for joining the ministry here?"
"Yes!" the first-year students responded loudly.
"Then start introducing yourself in order from left to right!"
When it was his turn to introduce himself, Kimura Takuya withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.
"Kimura Takuya, graduated from xx Junior High School, the position he hopes to be a pitcher, please take care of him!"
After that, he returned to the team again.
The next freshman immediately answered, "xxx, graduated from..."
Time passed quickly as the first-year students introduced themselves nervously or loudly.
"I'm Kazuya Miyuki. I used to be a catcher in the Edogawa Little League team. I hope that I will also be a catcher in Seido in the future..."
The boy named Kurosaki Kazuya next to Miyuki Kazuya seemed a little surprised by this. According to the information he got from the second- and third-year seniors, the original main catcher of Aomichi High School was the second-year senior Chris. Last year
After being injured in November, he was replaced by the current Matsuda-senpai.
Under such circumstances, choosing Qingdao High School is based on its strength, or...
After the peer named Miyuki Kazuya next to him finished introducing himself, Kurosaki Kazaka immediately stepped forward and began to introduce himself.
"Kurosaki Kazuo, graduated from xx Junior High School, the position he hopes to play is pitcher..."
"He looks so dark."
"Are you a foreigner?"
"..."
Kurosaki looked calm, ignoring the looks and whispers from others.
(Note: Kurosaki Kazaka's prototype is the protagonist in the online book Diamond Ace: The Supreme Strength that I have read. I originally followed the protagonist of that book and would transfer to other schools after entering Qingdao.
You see, who knew that the eunuch protagonist hadn’t transferred to another school until that book, so I took over the character’s setting and used it to return him to his original destiny.)
After the freshmen introduced themselves, Supervisor Kataoka asked the first-year freshmen to run as usual, and then asked the second- and third-year players to do basic training.
