In the teacher's office of Aoba Dodai High School, Kazuo Kawano, the coach of the school's baseball club, was sitting on the sofa at this time, and on the coffee table in front of him were two personnel lists, but many of the names on the list were altered and drawn, making the original neat list look a little messy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aihiro Fukuda, the 3rd Army Outfielder of the 3rd Grade A Division, Goto Ao, the 2nd Army Shortstop of the 3rd Grade A Division, Daisuke Araki, the 1st Army Right Field Fielder and 5th Baseman of the 3rd Grade B Team, the 1st Army 3rd Baseman and the 4th Baseman Jun Ogata, the 1st Army Shortstop and the 1st Baseman Tsukika Blade, and the Left Field Fielder and 3rd Baseman of the 1st Army Outfield, Kazushi Honda......

A series of names were drawn by coach Kawano with a red pen, and all of these names were drawn by third-year students, so you may be able to guess one or two when you see this!

That's right, the two lists in front of coach Kawano in front of him, one is a list of the old students who are about to retire in the third grade of the baseball club, and the other is a list of newcomers who are filled in by the remaining personnel of the three armed forces of the baseball department after the retired old students quit the baseball club.

At this time, although the list has been successively decided by the head of the baseball department, Hideyuki Tanaka, and the retired third-year veterans, and after the coach Kawano has repeatedly revised the list, it can be said that although the two lists that have been revised at this time are all arranged in place, coach Kawano is not satisfied with the comparison.

Or maybe he was still not satisfied with the configuration of several positions in the list of Forces nouvelles personnel.

Thinking of this, coach Kawano couldn't help but be upset by this thorny question, and couldn't calm down to think about the problem for a while, so he had to put it down first, got up and walked to the window of the office to look, looking at the students of the baseball club who were training on the court below, and was silent for a long time.

The retirement of old students and the formation of a new army are the top headaches that almost every high school club encounters at this time of year!

Some literary and artistic clubs or clubs that do not have much competitiveness are better, and the retirement and formation between their old students and the new army are well connected, and they will not have much impact on the activities of their clubs on weekdays, after all, the external exchange activities of these clubs are much less than those with strong competitiveness, so in terms of strength, clubs such as literary clubs and art clubs, the impact of the change of old and new student personnel will not be too great.

However, for highly competitive sports clubs or some other clubs, because there are many opportunities for foreign exchanges on weekdays, and even from time to time they will go out to participate in various competitions on behalf of the school, so once the old students retire, the club will inevitably appear for a period of weakening of its strength, and the new students will join and form a certain combat effectiveness to alleviate it.

And now, this number one event about the change of club members has taken root in the hearts of all the students in the baseball club, and it is constantly reminding each of them every moment of the day that things are about to change!

……………………

At this time, on the school's baseball field, perhaps knowing that the days of training in the baseball club like this are numbered, many third-grade seniors in the entire baseball club will devote 200% of their enthusiasm to training.

Even, several seniors who don't usually treat the freshmen are like a different person, and at this time, they pulled a large class of first-year students to the court to do batting and catching training.

And among them, Jun Ogata, who is the fourth batter of the strongest hitter of the first army, is the most, I saw him occupy the position of the home plate area on the court, pulling his friend Yuehua Blade, who is also preparing to retire, and the two of them held the bats to the first-year freshmen who had already stood on the court and shouted the ball out from time to time and said: "Hela, boys, how to catch the ball!" If you have this little strength, then don't think about the right selection for the rest of your life, all cheer up Uncle Ben, watch the ball, outfielder! ”

"Great! ~~”

Not to be outdone, Yuehua Blade shouted: "This one, travel area, look at your Akai!" ~”

I don't know if it's deliberate, or just want to find a way to vent, today's training for the first-year freshmen, a group of third-grade old students, one by one, deliberately played with high difficulty, anyway, no matter what kind of training, as long as it can be difficult, none of the old students thought of relaxing.

Naturally, the same is true for Jun Ogata and Tsukikasa, one of them hit a high fly ball in the outfield, which made Eisuke Hasegawa, who had to defend the outfield, run a long distance, and played a shovel save before barely catching the ball into the glove; The other one directly gave Akai the guerrilla zone a hard time, the speed of the ball was fast, and the direction was too far enough, and when Akai reacted, the ball was about to fly through his garrison area, so that Akai finally used his strength, and when he pounced and fell to the ground and fell to the ground like a hungry dog eating Xiang to catch the ball, he also ate a mouth full of mud.

But these two people, Jun Ogata and Tsukika, who were standing in the home plate area to pick up a baseball again, turned a blind eye and shouted: "It's not enough, it's not enough!" Come again......"

Seeing this scene, Akai and Horibe, who had been sweating all over the sweat of the first year freshmen who had been trained by the two first-army seniors of Ogata Jun and Tsukikato, all began to vomit at the senior who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today.

Horibe patted the mud crumbs on his body, and said in a bad mood: "I said, the seniors are crazy today, one by one, it's like eating the **** that has expired, and I can't stop at all!" ~When is this kind of practice, when is it a head~"

"There's no hope~~" Watanabe on the side said: "It's understandable that the seniors are also excusable, everyone knows that all the third-grade seniors in the baseball club are going to retire before the Spring League and prepare for the graduation exam!" ”

“~~”

At this time, Akai caught a rolling earth hit by the Yuehua Blade, and passed it back before saying: "Che, who doesn't know at this time, now!" Isn't it because of this reason that the seniors have come to the department to participate in the training and train us enough!? ”

"Although that's the case, what do I think of Akai, you seem to enjoy being abused by your seniors! You're really bt...... "It's Hasegawa who teases Akai, this guy is a big-mouthed guy who often likes to joke.

"Go and go~~ What to enjoy abuse, I am studying hard with my seniors, do I understand! You think I'm you, I haven't had a ball fly over in the field for half a year, and the guerrilla zone is a key area for the garrison, can you learn the garrison that the seniors are good at!? Do you still want the uniforms of the Forces nouvelles!? Akai retorted to Hasegawa.

Although the group of people was noisy and noisy, the training of catching the ball in their hands did not slack off at all.

On the other side, in the cowshed training ground, rookie pitchers Watanabe and Kasuga Cloud are not having a good time.

All day today, the two of them were hunted by the two pairs of third-grade seniors of the second army in the cowshed, and they gave the collective a multi-pair single special training.

Watanabe was pestered by one of the shooting partners to teach him about the change of the ball, while Kasuga was pulled to the other side by the other two seniors to teach Kasuga how to better control the ball point and the stability of the ball path.

All right...... Although the process is very fragmented, just like when parents want to send their children out of the house, the things to be explained are repeated n times, and the two heads of Watanabe and Haruhi are bigger than the grinding plate, but after all, these are the thoughts of the seniors, and the two newcomers can only bear it obediently in the end.

In this way, a group of first-year freshmen came to the court every afternoon after class to receive the training that the seniors loved, and it lasted until the afternoon of that day!

………………

On this day, everyone in the baseball club did not go to practice as soon as they came to the court.

Instead, they all gathered in front of the rest area, lined up in a neat line, and started a special ceremony, a farewell ceremony about all the third-grade students in the department who will be drawn out of the baseball club today!

I saw that except for the freshmen who had just joined the baseball club in the first grade, the rest of the hundreds of students were wearing the uniforms that the baseball club had previously issued to everyone at this time, and they were about to retire with the retirement of the third-year students.

It was a very handsome baseball uniform, with blue and white stripes longitudinally intertwined on a dark background, indicating the school color of the school, Aoba Dodai High School, and it was also a symbol of youth and enthusiasm as high school students!

Since baseball is very popular and respected in China, some customs of this sport have naturally attracted the attention of the people. For example, in school, the team uniform will not be easily worn until the official game or related important occasions, because when wearing the uniform, it represents not only the school you are studying, but also your enthusiasm for baseball, and there are many, many unexplained feelings in it.

Therefore, when all the seniors appeared on the court in uniforms, many first-year freshmen looked at them with envy.

Soon, coach Kawano walked out and said to everyone, "A lot of times, I really hate days like today. Because today we are about to bid farewell to many outstanding students in the department, so that they can go to another battlefield of life to continue fighting!

But at the same time, a lot of times, I really like days like today. Because of the inheritance, our school's baseball club has hope for the future!

Today is the day when all the third-grade students in our department retire, I won't talk nonsense here, all the junior students, you should take a good look at the row of seniors standing in front of you.

Three years ago, like you, they took over the inheritance banner that they were reluctant to abandon but had to put down, and with the enthusiasm of their youth, they wore this uniform that symbolizes honor to play one game after another with the famous baseball schools in the county and even all over the country, and won back the honor again and again!

And today, before the third-grade seniors are about to go to another battlefield in life, they are also like the previous seniors, although they are reluctant to put down the flag in their hands......"

Speaking of which, among the row of third-year students who were originally standing behind coach Kawano, there was a representative who stood up, and he was Hideyuki Tanaka, the current head of the baseball club.

I saw him holding a flag with his hands sonorously at this time, stepped forward to the right side of coach Kawano, and shouted to the junior juniors in front of him: "I am here to ask you as the head of baseball at Aoba Dotai High School, the first grade rookies of Aoba, the highest honor that belongs to our Aoba Dotai High School baseball club is here, are you ready to take over this flag from me!?" ”

"Department!! ~" As soon as Tanaka finished asking, all the first-year freshmen on the court immediately opened their voices and shouted in response.

Minister Tanaka asked again in a loud voice, "Who are you!?" ”

The first-year students immediately replied, "We are the Aoba Dodai High School baseball team!" ”

Minister Tanaka continued to ask loudly, "What is your goal!?" ”

“～～～”

However, when it came here, the first-year students collectively lost their voices.

Target!? At this time, many of them are still just interested in baseball, for them, playing baseball is just a part of daily life, but it is not the most important part, there are like these third-year students who are about to retire, they have a special affection for high school baseball!

Indeed, if the young baseball and the green baseball are just the children's enlightenment to baseball, then the high baseball is the last simple dream about youth and dreams of the boys before they are about to step into adulthood.

Because, after graduating from high school, some students are faced with not going to college again, but going out to society to make money and work hard to support themselves.

So at that time, dreams or something can only be a vernacular embellished with beautiful words in the words!

It is precisely because of the difference in the experience of the senior and junior grades that there was a blank silence on the field at this time......

However, the silence didn't last long before someone woke up with a word: "Bang Noyara (bastard)~~ Are you all dead!? Isn't the goal clearest for us!? Isn't that the phrase we say the most on weekdays!? So what else is there to think about now...... Minister, what I didn't say, our goal is A, Zi, and Yuan!! “

Akai, who spoke the last three words, said it out loud word by word, and as soon as he said this, everyone was surprised.

No one could have imagined that it would be him who spoke out at this time, but the words he said at this time suddenly woke up the silence of almost all the freshmen around him, and one after another shouted to vent the longing that they had suppressed in the deepest part of their hearts: "That's right, Koshien! We don't have anything else to do but that......"

"Koshien ~~"

"Yes, that's it! ~Koshien, there is no one but it! “

"Koshien ~~Koshien ~~ Koshien ~~ Koshien ~~ Koshien ~~ Koshien ......"

Soon, the enthusiasm of the first-year students also aroused the other senior students present, and they began to shout the slogan of Koshien one after another.

For a while, the atmosphere of the entire baseball club seemed to be extraordinarily united!

Finally, Minister Tanaka waved the flag in his hand and said loudly: "Well said, Koshien, this has always existed in the dream of our boys who love baseball, and now the seniors can't do it, but I hope that you, who are selecting players in the baseball club of the new Aoba Dodai High School, can inherit the dreams of the seniors and turn this regret into your motivation, please ~~ Please, you must bring back the flag that belongs to the Koshien Championship to the seniors, please!" “

In the end, the minister Tanaka Hideyuki, who has always been strong and unyielding, actually choked up in the last sentence of his words, which shows what kind of grievance and regret he felt in his heart at this time!

At this time, many of the third-grade students standing behind Tanaka turned this regretful grievance into tears, and collectively bent down 90 degrees to shout to all the junior students in front of them: "Please bring back the winning flag of Koshien, please!" “
