The national tournament is over, and the journey of the Akagi High School baseball team in Tokyo has come to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The night before they left, a weekly baseball report caught the attention of their friends.

"This national competition has been full of ups and downs, and it has been exciting. First of all, defending champion Tomioka Middle School was eliminated by Matsukata Less! ”

Seeing this, the friends began to be calm. Fuqiu Middle School, that extremely strong Fuqiu Middle School was eliminated?

It's an incredible image just to think about.

"Did you say what's going on?"

The little friend's question made Atsuki Ruona, who was reading the newspaper, busy for a while. Fortunately, there is really a detailed report in the magazine.

"It seems that Yuyan Hashimoto, the ace pitcher of Tomioka Middle School, caught a cold and couldn't participate in that game."

This answer made the friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team a little unacceptable. In their impression, Hashimoto is not the kind of person who will drop the chain at a critical moment.

"It also says in the magazine, and it shows how important a good pitcher is to a team."

Hearing this, Sawamura Rongjun immediately straightened his chest and put on a posture of hard work. I was very grateful to his friends, but now they are busy with their own things.

"Nobody cares about you." At this time, Yang Ping also debunked: "Do you know why I took care of you?" ”

Sawamura shook his head stupidly.

"Because we're friends."

Quack Quack ......

A row of crows flew by, and a big drop of cold sweat broke out on Sawamura's head.

"Isn't there anything else in the report?"

"And then there's the profiles of some of the star players." Cangyue Ruocai said with a mysterious face: "Yang Pingjun is naturally on the list, in addition to him, there are also people from us who have been selected." ”

Since that guy from Sawamura is also on the list?

Sawamura's achievements and strength are taken for granted, and it is a matter of course for others to be selected as a star player. But for the friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team who get along with him day and night, he is still very surprised!

Sawamura can be said to have watched them grow up step by step. The person who couldn't even throw in the good ball area in the past is now a star player who has been selected for the national competition.

It's incredible to think about.

The friends of Sawamura and Akagi Middle School's baseball team gathered around Sawamura's report to comment on it. Yang Ping took the opportunity to take the magazine and had a good look at this report titled Leading the New Era.

……

Yang Ping and his two lives added various talent bonuses, and he could only rank fourth among the national students at the same level. (Yang Ping's potential is second, and there is a student of the same level who is better than him.) ）

"Ninth in the country?"

Although he said it with a look of disdain, the small appearance of Ke Zecun was like a proud rooster, holding his head high.

"There's nothing convincing about this list."

What the?

Sawamura, who was still holding his head high just now, looked at Yang Ping in surprise. This guy's comprehensive fame ranks among the top five in the country, aren't you satisfied? Do you have a foreigner who feels good?

Sawamura also doesn't think that Yang Ping's strength can only rank fourth in the country among students of the same level! Just as the friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team trusted Sawamura's pitching, Sawamura was also superstitious about Yang Ping's striking strength.

In Sawamura's mind, Yang Ping must be the best strong fight in the country! The second best catcher. (He used to think that Yang Ping was also the best catcher in the world, but just a few days ago, this notion was corrected by an unscrupulous man with glasses.) ）

"The world you see with your eyes is too small! If you're really aiming for baseball, use Koshien as a stepping stone. ”

Koshien!

Of course, this is not the first time that the friends of the Akagi High School baseball team have heard the name, and they also know that there are countless schools where baseball masters target Koshien. Even if they made it to the national competition, they didn't think they would have a chance to participate in Koshien.

Although the national competition for junior high school students is becoming more and more important, compared to Koshien, which has a century-old tradition, the national competition is not a fart.

In this era when the major leagues will pay attention to Koshien. How honorable it is to be active in Koshien? Most of the players named by the professional team are from Koshien. The rest are also players who have made a name for themselves in fierce battle zones such as Tokyo and Kanto.

"Baseball in my home country (meaning continental. It's not popular, a country of more than a billion people, there is not a single player active in the major leagues. ”

"So I decided! I want to be the first player in my country to make it in the major leagues and make a name for myself in the major leagues......"

The friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team looked at Yang Ping dumbfounded, although they also knew that Yang Ping had never been an ordinary person. However, it was never thought that he would have such ideals and revenge.

"Haha! It is worthy of Yang Ping. Sawamura couldn't hold back his excitement: "I'm going to be an ace pitcher in the major leagues too." ”

In this ordinary guest house, two teenagers germinate an ambition to explore the world.
