Early in the morning, the sun had just risen in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hot air began to rush towards the ground with the scorching sun.

The green trees on the campus are vibrating their eardrums vigorously and making a sound that represents the height of summer.

"Know~~Know~~Know~~Know~~"

In the corner of the campus, all 113 student members of the baseball club are lined up in five neat horizontal teams at the moment, gathered on the indoor training field used exclusively for the baseball club.

Today is the day when the entire school baseball club will go to the finals of the county competition.

So early in the morning, on a wall in the indoor training ground, the students of the baseball club's logistics team hung a long banner with the words "I wish the Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club to play in the summer league in the xx year and return from the final in Kanagawa Prefecture".

And under the banner is a huge ranking table, which was drawn by Ye Yue, the manager of the baseball department, before the start of the county game, about the victory and promotion of the teams in each group of the county competition.

Among them, the promotion route of the school's Aoba Dodai High School was clearly and conspicuously depicted with a red pen.

From Fujisawa's Eno High School at the beginning, to Aikawa High School, and then to the strong rival team Kohoku Nigogawa High School in the third round (I won't go into details about the match details of the opponent Nigokawa in the third round)......

Aoba Dodai High School stumbled all the way to the final round of the prefectural competition!

Later today, they will face off against the strongest baseball high school in the prefecture, Sanshin High School, a nationally renowned baseball school.

Thinking of this, all the student members of the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School who were standing on the court at the moment were both nervous and looking forward to it......

"Everybody......

Principal Yuma Matsushima stood in front of the team and delivered a speech: "Today is a sunny day, a day that is very suitable for us to spend our youth and sweat.

All the students of our Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club are about to play in the finals of this year's Summer League County Trials, here I only represent all the leaders of the school and myself, I sincerely hope that all the students of the baseball club can show your best state, play a good game, for your dreams, for your hard work for your dreams shed tears and sweat, with all their strength, to try to capture the fleeting hope of victory!

Aoba Dodai High School is a high school with a long history of baseball culture, and the baseball club has existed since the school was founded.

However, since 5 years ago, no one of our baseball students has brought their school's name to Koshien to the field!

For these outstanding students who have graduated and left the school, such a result is undoubtedly full of regrets.

So, everyone, for your youth without a little regret, come on! ~~”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as the principal finished speaking, everyone immediately clapped their applause.

Immediately afterwards, Kawano, the coach of the baseball club, officially took over the words, and said loudly to all the players standing in front of him with a big wave of his hand: "Then before I go out, I am here to announce one thing, which is the confirmation of the team's ace candidate!" …… Kasuga-kumo, please take a step forward! ”

"Hai ~~~?"

Kasuga, who was suddenly named, stood out from the team a little strangely.

At this time, coach Kawano took a set of uniforms from the manager next to her, Hazuki, and looked at the big back number '1' printed on the uniform.

Kawano said, "The decision was made after all the players in the baseball club discussed and agreed, and I submitted my application to the school...... Kasuga-yun, from today onwards, this jersey is yours! ”

"No. 1 jersey!?"

At this time, Kasugamo is no longer a layman who didn't know anything when he first joined the baseball club, so Kasugamo is very clear about the meaning of this jersey.

Trump card!

The absolute soul of a baseball team!

He is the most reliable support for his teammates, and at the same time a nightmare for opponents to hope for victory!

And now, in front of Hasuga, there is such a jersey of the ace player printed with the back number 1, and for a while, Harugayun was a little trance-like.

"I~~~"

Perhaps seeing the contradiction in Kasuga's heart, coach Kawano said: "You should be confident, Kasuga!" Although you have been in baseball for a short time compared to others, your potential is seen by everyone on the team, and if you don't have the ability to wear this jersey, no matter how hard you try, you will not have the opportunity to wear it, so ......

Come on, Ace!

From today onwards, the pitcher mound of the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club will be handed over to you to protect! ”

"That's right! ~" At this time, Hayakawa, who was standing in the line, said loudly: "Kasuga-kun, put it on!" ~Wear it as an ace! ~”

"Hayakawa!?" Kasugamo turned his head to look at Hayakawa, and found that there was no unexpected disbelief in his eyes, or some other look that looked down on him.

Yes, it's an ardent anticipation!

Kasugamo knew very well in his heart that that kind of anticipation was Hayakawa's incomparable desire for victory, and it was his dream that one day he would be able to stand on the Koshien Big Ball and finally win!

"Put it on, Kasuga-kun!" Watanabe, who was standing next to Hayakawa, also spoke, "You should have changed into this jersey a long time ago!" For the honor of our school, and for those of us who dream of entering the Koshien arena, wear it! ”

Captain Yasuno smiled and said seriously, "You can do it, wear it!" ”

Aihara, the absolute strong fighter in the team, clenched his fists hard and said: "The pitcher mound will be handed over to you kid, give Uncle Ben a good guard of it, ace ace!" ”

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "What a surprising guy!" ~”

Tsuchihara: "Isn't that it!?" This guy has only played baseball for less than 1 year, and he can be better than me, a veteran who has played baseball for 6 or 7 years! I really don't know what kind of structure he is~~"

Akai: "Genius is something we can't understand, and what we can understand is not genius!" ”

Maki: "I'm looking forward to seeing Kasuga-kun conquer everyone with his performance in the tournament that will be held, but what kind of scene will it be!?" ”

Hoshino, Sato, and Kudo also nodded in agreement: "With such a strong trump card, I feel more confident in winning the game!" ”

"Put it on! ~Kasuga-kun! ~”

"Put it on, Ace!"

"I'll leave it all up to you, Ace!"

"You have to work hard, don't lose our face! ~”

"Come on, we're sure you can do it."

"Everybody......

Seeing this, the group of teammates in front of him stared at him with trusting eyes, and Kasugayun suddenly felt that his heart was warm but as if it was full of endless power, as if it might explode at any time.

Excited, nervous, apprehensive, and a hint of joy after being affirmed!

With the above feelings, Kasugamo finally took the jersey handed over by coach Kawano under the gaze of everyone, and threw off the shirt and hung it on his body.

"Yo Si! …… From now on, the pitcher's mound on the baseball field will be guarded by me, Kasuga-cloud!! ”

Thinking of this, Kasugayun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and raised his right hand, shouted out to the teammates in front of him, announcing his trump card demeanor: "Yo Xi~~ Everyone, let's go, go and get the winning flag back!"

"Roar!! ~" Everyone responded with a loud roar. (To be continued.) )
