Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Grand Celebration Banquet (Part 1)

"Let us welcome our heroes who have returned triumphantly with full enthusiasm......"

The Dean of Education raised his voice and said loudly.

The baseball teammates and students standing on both sides also gave the most enthusiastic applause.

The chubby principal, with a garland in his hand, walked towards Kataoka.

Kataoka leaned down and asked the headmaster to put a wreath around his neck.

That's not to say how flattering Kataoka is. Mainly with his height, if he didn't lean down and keep his head down, the headmaster wouldn't be able to reach it at all.

The first time I saw the top of Kataoka's head, the fat principal was also embarrassed.

Having said that, for so long, this was the first time he had seen Kataoka bow his head in front of him.

"Congratulations..."

"Thank you and the Board for your trust."

Kataoka said heartily.

He didn't get good grades before, and if it weren't for the principal and the board of directors, trust him unconditionally.

How did he achieve today's success?

"But wouldn't that be too much? When we made the promotion to Koshien last year, it didn't seem to be ......."

The school's respect and courtesy made Kataoka feel a little uneasy.

He always thought that a champion of the Tokyo Spring Tournament was really not worth it.

"At that time, I wasn't afraid that the players would their tails, but what if it affected Koshien's performance at that time? Now that your disciples are all mature, we believe that no matter how high the courtesy, they can withstand it. ”

The headmaster said with a smile.

Someone who can climb to a high position, no matter what it is?

None of them are simple.

Kataoka took a deep look at his headmaster, and felt as if he had reacquainted with him.

"Thank you!"

This time, Kataoka was more sincere than the first.

The principal stood on tiptoe and patted Kataoka on the shoulder with his hand.

"We're also looking forward to you taking the kids on the baseball team to a higher level."

"Yes!"

With the support of their classmates, the players of the Seido High School baseball team rushed to the school's banquet hall.

The food prepared in the canteen is incomparably sumptuous.

Not only the players of the first army, but even the players of the second army and the third army, it is enough to enjoy together.

Zhang Han has been looking forward to this gluttonous feast for a long time.

Because of his different tastes, he is really interested in the meals provided by the school.

If it weren't for the free supply in the canteen, he assured himself that he would eat very little.

It is only at the banquet that you can see so much meat.

Although it is not a good thing for athletes to consume too much meat. But once in a while, you can still enjoy it.

Just as Zhang Han sat down and enjoyed the food, someone came to his side and snatched the lobster in his hand and said.

"Do you feel that the cafeteria is particularly quiet today?"

In the usual cafeteria, in fact, everyone's voice is very small, but there are always a few whispers that have a good relationship.

Even Zhang Han and them are no exception. But today, there is not a single person who speaks.

The first-team players who have just finished the competition are enjoying the food in full swing.

Their mouths are all used to eat, and they don't even care about what to say.

The players of the second and third armies reacted very strangely.

They didn't gobble it up, they ate very elegantly, as if they didn't dare to eat too much at once.

And unlike before, everyone almost didn't speak, and they were all eating quietly and slowly.

"Why did you become a gentleman all of a sudden?"

Zhang Han muttered strangely to himself.

He even had the illusion that he was in the wrong place.

Is this really the same place as the cafeteria he used to be in?

The good thing is that the people are still those people, and the faces are still those faces.

"Isn't there anything else on the table? Why are you snatching me? ”

Zhang Han glanced at Yu Xing dissatisfied.

"Haven't skinned yet..."

Miyuki said innocently.

"Don't you have any hands yourself?"

"I'm peeling, not as good as you."

What an excuse for righteous words, so that Zhang Han couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

He peeled one off again and took a bite into his mouth, enjoying the feeling of shrimp.

Compared with other seafood, the taste of shrimp meat is undoubtedly the best, at least Zhang Han thinks so.

It's very strong.

"Didn't you say you were going to play the orientation game? Everyone was probably thinking about the afternoon race, and it's no surprise that this is the case now. ”

Zhang Han thought of the news he got before, and always felt that today's welcome match seemed to be a little different.

"You don't know yet, before this match, the players and freshmen of the second army had a qualifier. Nine players were selected from the second army, and eleven players were selected from the freshmen. And it is said that the new students also sent a special person to guide them. They were trained a week ago. ”

"Huh?"

Yu Yuyui's news made Zhang Han very surprised.

Practice in the same team, although the first and second armies and the third army, as well as the freshman practice, are always separate.

But it wasn't so big that he didn't get any news.

Tojo and Kanemaru didn't seem to have told him either.

However, after Yu Xing said this, Zhang Han really remembered that the recent reaction of those two guys seemed to be a little strange.

They hadn't pestered themselves in days.

Probably doing special training......

"It's really grown up!"

Zhang Han was a little disappointed, but more relieved.

"It has nothing to do with us. The overseer wants to select the combat power, and after the combat power is selected, he will cooperate. ”

Zhang Han still doesn't think that this matter has anything to do with him?

Yu Xing glanced at Zhang Han, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it!"

Zhang Han said impatiently.

"It may have nothing to do with me, but it may not have anything to do with you. Didn't you notice that the way the Overseer looked at you today was strange? ”

Yu Xing didn't say it, Zhang Han really didn't pay attention.

After such a little bit of dialing, Zhang Han thought about it for a while, and the attitude of the superintendent seemed to be a little strange.

"What can it have to do with me?"

"Then you're going to ask the overseer. But how last year's orientation was conducted, you shouldn't have forgotten, right? We've been repaired by our seniors. I didn't get the news before, and I underestimated the amazing fighting spirit of the seniors, and there was no one to command. As a result, the final plate was scattered and the army was defeated. But now, don't you feel that the difference between those freshmen and our treatment is too big? ”

"It seems a little unfair when you say that."

"You must know that our family overseer is not a bad person, he will strengthen the new students for no reason? Let them show off their prowess in the ring? ”

It seems unlikely.

To put it irreverently, if Kataoka hadn't caused trouble for the freshmen, then the freshmen would have been thankful.

Expecting Inspector Kataoka to help them is a pipe dream.

While enjoying the food, Zhang Han pondered what the afternoon orientation match could have to do with him?

Although Yu Xing said so, Zhang Han still felt that it was unlikely.

After all, he had just finished the competition in the morning, and with Kataoka's personality, he shouldn't let himself continue to compete.

And with his strength, it is a bit of a bully to compete with the junior brothers.

Zhang Han couldn't figure it out, so he put this matter aside for the time being and concentrated on enjoying the food.

At the same time, he also has to guard against Yu Xing strictly, and after getting acquainted with Yu Xing, he will find that this guy is not only super poisonous, but also dead-skinned.

An honest person like Zhang Han, if he is not careful, it is easy to suffer.

After enjoying the perfect food, Zhang Han deliberately glanced at Tojo and Kanimaru, both of whom were sitting there seriously, not daring to eat more.

Eating too much is very likely to affect the performance of the game.

If this is spit on the field, it is equivalent to throwing your face to your grandmother's house. And it will definitely be registered with the Kataoka superintendent.

"It looks like the two little ones have been selected for the eleven list."

Zhang Han smiled with relief, but did not take the initiative to say anything.

It's superfluous to say anything at this time, it's better to comfort them after the game is over.

Even if they were elite generals selected from the freshmen, Zhang Han didn't think they were the opponents of the nine people in the Second Army.

Although the strength of the second army of the Qingdao High School baseball team is not as strong as the first army, they usually participate in a lot of practice games.

Judging from their record, even if they are allowed to represent Qingdao, the results they have won are estimated to be quite dazzling.

How can such a senior be challenged by those freshmen who have just joined the team for less than a month?
