Chapter 220: The Road to the Future (End of the Volume)
"Is there a Qingdao one?"
Sawamura continued to ask quietly.
On the faces of both of them, embarrassment flashed.
Really.
As Sawamura thought, Takashima Rei should not have visited their house at this time. But I guess when they go home, they will be able to see them at home.
According to Takashima's habit, before visiting, she must collect in detail what the contestants did during the holidays. Compared with the results she has already won, she believes in the hard work of the players on weekdays. From this point of view, she and Superintendent Kataoka are the same kind of people.
"If Qingdao High School invites, will you go?"
Hirota and Jun Matsumoto's expressions both flashed with excitement.
It can be seen that they can't ask for this proposal that Sawamura said. It is estimated that if Takashima Rei really invites, they will be busy agreeing without Sawamura Eijun interjecting.
It seems that the lobbyist thing is not to worry about.
In fact, it is not surprising that the two of them will behave like this. If they really dream of Koshien, joining Seido High School is undoubtedly the best shortcut.
Qingdao High School, which has just won the national hegemony, although most of the main force has gone, the few people who remain are also the core. Even if they regroup, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
To put it bluntly, next year, even if there is no supplement to this Qingdao High School, they still have the ability to enter Koshien and dominate the country.
Not to mention its own strength, Qingdao High School is still the top wealthy family in the country. Such a school, in itself, also has a very strong attraction.
You must know that even the original Fengxiang Aoyi and Oda Honsheng have never received such an invitation from the top wealthy families in the country.
At that time, Seido High School had not entered Koshien for five consecutive years, and it was at its lowest point. But even then, no one invited Fengxiang Okuichi and Oda Motosheng.
Not to mention that now, Qingdao High School has just dominated the country and is on the cusp.
Being able to get an invitation from Qingdao High School at this time can be said to be the greatest recognition for middle school students. Originally, a giant like Qingdao High School only picked people among the players in the hard ball league, and it was definitely their luck to be able to take a fancy to them.
Not to mention, there is also the big brother Sawamura Eijun. They don't have to worry about not adapting to the school, and with the guidance of Sawamura, their strength will grow more rapidly.
No matter how you look at it, there are a lot of benefits.
Comparing hearts to hearts, Sawamura Eijun stood on their side, and there was no reason not to agree.
"To be clear in advance, when I entered Qingdao High School, the competition was very fierce, even tragic. Be ye prepared! There, no amount of effort you put in may pay off. If so, and you are willing to take on the challenge, I welcome it. ”
Sawamura said with a final smile.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. No matter how much he has to say in his heart, but the future is Hirota and Matsumoto's own, and how they choose, Sawamura has no right to say anything.
As a senior, as a friend, and even as a teacher, there is only one thing Sawamura can tell them.
If they dream of Koshien, or even further, they dream of a career.
Qingdao High School is the best choice!
As for competition, it is inevitable. If you don't even have the courage to compete for the main force in Seido High School, what else are you talking about? What profession to talk about?
You're not that material at all.
Even if you join other weaker teams, really come out on top, and are lucky enough to make it to Koshien, then your final achievement is just a role player, and there is no way to mix in the profession.
Everyone in the professional arena is a warrior, and without the determination to fight to the end, there is no way to stay on that battlefield.
The two listened to Sawamura's words, and their expressions did not waver in the slightest.
Anyway, they also used to be members of the national hegemon. Nothing else, but confidence is still very strong.
At this time, do they think they are weaker than anyone?
"I'm not kidding, there is a lot of competitive pressure at Qingdao High School, especially for catchers."
Seeing the disapproving looks of the two, Sawamura couldn't help but kindly remind.
Because Qingdao High School suddenly won the national hegemony, will there be any changes in the future? Sawamura Eijun didn't dare to say.
But in his impression, the reason why the well boy and the little wolf joined Qingdao High School was only related to the invitation of Qingdao High School. At that time, the results of Qingdao High School were just a confirmation of the Spring League. There is no reason, now that they have become the national overlord at Qingdao High School, they will not come.
If both of them come, the chances of Jun Matsumoto being able to take the main catcher from the two of them are slim.
Simply compared to catching the ball, Jun Matsumoto is definitely no worse than the two of them, and even a lot better.
But when it comes to being a catcher, those two guys are also demon-level, and Matsumoto can't be compared to others at all.
With Koshien as a dream, Matsumoto's ideal situation is, of course, to avoid these two guys. But if it's a dream for a career, Jun Matsumoto can hear and see it, and steal a lot of things from the two of them.
By the time he graduates from high school, Jun Matsumoto will probably grow into a very good catcher!
Of course.
All of these things depend on his own choice.
At this time, Sawamura Eijun didn't know that because Seido High School won the national championship, the team attracted a lot of talents, and it was not just their original elementary school brothers.
This is a later story, so let's not mention it for the time being.
For now, Sawamura's advice is not a problem at all for Matsumoto and Hirota.
If they are determined to go down the baseball road, they will have to follow in the footsteps of Sawamura. Both of them were brought out by Sawamura, and during the time they were on the Akagi Middle School baseball team, they thought they had made rapid progress.
But since Sawamura left, their strength has come to a standstill.
How does this work?
The two of them recognized Sawamura, but what gave them a headache was that the two never received an invitation from Qingdao High School.
Originally, it was discussed whether to join Qingdao through the unified entrance examination.
Anyway, these two are not bad for money, and they don't take the subsidy from the school into account.
Hirota himself is the heir to the company, and although Jun Matsumoto is an illegitimate child, the money he can take out is unimaginable to ordinary people.
After chatting with the two, all the friends got together again, had a big meal, and played a game.
In this game, Sawamura was the referee.
There is no way, no matter which team he joins, the other team doesn't want to play.
After the game, they sang again, and then they were reluctant to separate.
……
When Hirota returned home, he saw someone waiting for him.
"Hello Hirota-san, I'm Rei Takashima, the deputy director of the baseball club of Seido High School, and I'm in charge of admissions. Now, on behalf of Qingdao High School, I would like to extend a formal invitation to you, and I hope you can come to our school. ”
A beautiful woman with glasses and an excellent figure and temperament.
Hirota Feiyi jumped up excitedly!
The master is the master, and the efficiency of doing things is high.
After filming the commercial, Sawamura stayed at home for another day, and it dragged on until the 30th, when he got on the train and returned to Seido High School.
On the day he left, the friends of the original Akagi Middle School baseball team, including Fengxiang Okuichi and Oda Honsheng from Xinglong High School, came.
They all came to see Sawamura off.
On the train, Sawamura waved at his friends.
Outside the tram, the friends chased the tram and waved to Okisawa Village.
Time seems to have stood still in this moment.
It wasn't until a long time later that Sawamura remembered it, and his heart was still warm.
