Chapter 7: The Baptism Ceremony (Part 2)
It was a very normal day, and all the players at Seido High School were training step by step.
Only the players of the second and third armies faintly noticed something.
It seems that today's third-grade seniors are particularly serious in their training and are particularly conscientious.
Even after the training, the training equipment that is routinely packed by the freshmen is the third grade senior.
When night fell, all the contestants of Seido High School gathered together and lined up in a neat queue.
Opposite them are the three giants of the baseball club of Qingdao High School.
Superintendent Kataoka was in the middle of the day, and next to him stood Minister Ota and Vice Minister Rei Takashima.
"Today's training is all over, and all the players in the First Army, including the second-year and first-year players, are all disbanded."
Such a statement makes other people feel strange.
Aren't the seniors who are left now in the third grade who have not been able to join the First Army?
"Let's go!"
Kuramochi dragged the stunned Sawamura.
Sawamura glanced at these people who stayed behind with great emotion, and sighed secretly in his heart.
It's time to come or it's coming!
The meeting place is the dormitory area, which is lined with rows of houses that form a lot of small corridors.
The departing players rushed to the cafeteria one after another to prepare for their meal.
And Sawamura hid in the small corridor, silently watching everything that happened at the meeting place.
"Rong Chun?"
Kominato Harushi, who has always liked to follow Sawamura, took the initiative to come up and looked at Sawamura in confusion.
He could see that Sawamura seemed to have something in his heart.
As a friend, you should be concerned.
"Don't talk, just watch!"
Sawamura didn't respond, and it was the people behind Kominato Harushi who spoke.
When I turned back to Kominato Haru, I saw a very incredible scene.
Captain Tetsuya Yuseki, Junichi Izawaki, Senior Brother, Toru Masuko, Senior Miyuki, Senior Chris, Senior Yoichi Kuramochi.
Plus Rong Chun.
This year, there is no shortage of core and main players of Qingdao High School, and all of them appear here.
What do they watch?
A strong curiosity forced Kominato Haruichi to look at the area where the players had just gathered.
There, Superintendent Kataoka was talking to the third-year seniors who had stayed.
Retire!
I didn't hear what they were talking about, but Kominato Haruichi instantly understood what was going on.
All the first army, including the joint training army, has been selected.
This also means that it is no longer possible for the third-year seniors who are still in the second and third armies to participate in the official competition in place of Qingdao High School.
They're about to retire......
The place where the gathering place, Superintendent Kataoka said.
"In the past two years, you have really worked hard!"
"The fierce first-mover competition, coupled with rigorous practice, I believe you must be very unwilling, but you have not given up, and have been practicing with me until now."
"In the future, please be proud of this......
After Kataoka finished speaking, most of the third-grade seniors wept bitterly, and some even fell directly to the ground.
Although they have long had a premonition, they have long been enlightened.
Even if you weren't selected for the first army, you didn't really wear the jersey of Seido High School and represent Seido High School in the competition.
They will never regret their efforts!
But when it really came time to retire, they were still unwilling.
Even with the kind of consciousness I had at the beginning, I was still unwilling.
If you could have worked a little harder, wouldn't the results be different?
in the corner.
Kominato Haruichi watched all this movingly.
"Seniors, they?"
Unlike Sawamura and Akira Tsukitani's one-step ascension, Kominato Harushi climbed all the way up from the Third Army and the Second Army.
He knows too well the efforts of those seniors!
If it weren't for the natural agility of swinging the bat.
Kominato Harushi didn't think that he could climb to the first army in the second army!
It can be imagined what kind of training and hard work these seniors have gone through in order to obtain their current strength.
Now, without any official appearances, they are retiring!
Kominato Haruichi fell into an inexplicable mood, he wanted to comfort those seniors, but he felt that he couldn't speak.
In what capacity does he want to comfort those seniors?
Do you want to go as a current army, or as a junior brother?
None of them seem to fit.
"It's nothing, just be baptized quietly!"
Sawamura sighed and turned to look at Chris.
Although because of his own relationship, Master Chris was injured in advance.
But the causal cycle, the benefits are not without it.
It was precisely because of the injury that he was able to recover early and return early.
In this way, they can fight side by side.
Although he sympathizes with the seniors who are not able to participate in the competition, as a contestant who represents them in the competition, he has little time to sympathize with others.
"Instead of saying some comforting words that have no nutritional value, it is better to get stronger together with the share of the losers!"
Yuki said.
At this time, he seemed to be shrouded in a kind of light.
Retired in the third grade, the main force hid in the corner to be baptized.
This is also a tradition of Qingdao Road!
From now on, everyone in Qingdao will have to prepare wholeheartedly for the summer competition.
By the next day, none of the third-graders who had retired were late for training.
In fact, for them, it no longer makes sense to stay in the community. They can use this time to intensify their revision of their homework, and strive to make up for it so that they can get into a better university in the future.
Even if Seido High School does not make it to Koshien, there is still a chance to enter professional baseball.
After all, Qingdao is a wealthy family, and Tokyo is also a very famous fierce battle area, and there are many media that specialize in supporting Qingdao players.
But this opportunity to enter professional baseball refers to those who have made a name for themselves in the first army.
Even if it is in the first army, not everyone who is famous can participate in the professional draft.
To participate in the so-called professional draft, you have to get an invitation.
Of course, the professional draft isn't the only option for high school players to join professional baseball.
These are all later words, so let's not mention them for the time being.
However, the baseball dreams of retired players like the third-year players have largely ended there.
For professional baseball teams, you can consider players who have made a name for themselves in the first team of Seido High School, but they will definitely not be considered.
But even so, they still haven't given up baseball.
Or in the past two years, they have become accustomed to squandering their youth on the baseball field.
After retiring from the third grade, Seido High School began to prepare for the summer tournament in earnest.
The iconic event is the week-long overnight stay.
The day after the third grade retirement, Seido High School's famous property, Hell Together, begins.
