After eating, everyone gathered on the court again, and after doing a simple warm-up exercise, they heard the instructions from the small loudspeaker for the first-year freshmen to gather and do the test.

Qingdao has two outdoor courts and one indoor court. In addition, there is a combat training range, a cowshed, a conference room, a war room, an equipment room, a dormitory, and so on. The baseball club alone occupies a lot of space, which is much larger than the entire Akagi Middle School where Sawamura was before.

With such a large area and hundreds of members, it is impossible to direct training just by shouting.

So on every court, there are little horns.

As soon as the small horn broadcasts, the players follow the instructions of the small horn and start training accordingly.

The same is true now, these seniors in the second and third grades are practicing in the A-court, the batting range, and the cowshed. The new students go to Court B for testing.

The test for freshmen is also very simple.

The test of Qingdao is nothing more than the old three, pitching, running and batting.

Based on the results of these tests, your abilities are assessed, and your position is then determined based on your personal wishes.

Of course, there is a very small probability that if you perform really well and have a recognizable performance in middle school. Then you will most likely be promoted directly to the first army. (Qingdao has not entered Koshien for several years, and there are fewer and fewer good seedlings that can be recruited directly.) It has been two full years since Qingdao has been selected to join the first army before the Spring University. That's why they're called the Year of the Underharvest Season, because it's the same time they've set this precedent. When new students enter the school, no one shows the potential to join the first army at the time of assessment. Chris and Yucheng joined the first army before the start of the first-year summer competition and were trained as a reserve force. ）

This year, it was Sawamura's turn to be tested.

The freshmen consciously lined up one by one, and then there were two assistant coaches to help, and it was Vice Minister Rei Takashima who was in charge of directing everyone to test and take notes.

"I've already warned you, and you're still late?"

Takashima Rei stared angrily at Sawamura.

Sawamura smiled awkwardly: "Accident, pure accident." ”

Takashima gave him a blank look and didn't say anything more. Fortunately, after being late, Sawamura admitted his mistake and did not arouse the disgust of Kataoka Supervisor. But he had just made a mistake late, and the plan to transfer him directly to the First Army would definitely not work.

"The players whose names are called below began to come forward one by one to take the pitching test, three balls per person, and only the highest score was recorded."

"The first Guangqi!"

The man whose name was named by Takashima was a strong boy, and he voted three times, twice in his seventies and once in eighty-five.

"That's amazing!"

"Throw so far!!"

The surrounding players exchanged their heads one by one, expressing their opinions. A fifteen-year-old boy can throw seventy or eighty meters, which is still very good.

"Yawn~"

Sawamura dozed off and yawned.

And then the next one.

I tested them one by one, and there were more than a dozen tests in total, and the highest result was Gao Jin, whose long throw was also a full 86 meters. However, his body is very thin, not as strong as before Guangqilai. It seems that the shock is much stronger than Guangqi.

After Takatsu, it was the turn of Kominato, who looked very shy and had a baby face, to play.

His record for a long throw of 65 meters is on the low side of the list.

"It's really because of his small body that he can throw such a ball?"

"It's not easy."

"But with a body like him, I'm afraid it's hard to be the right choice."

Listening to the discussion of the friends around him, Sawamura touched his nose in boredom.

After all, the test is just a test, and the real strength of the players still depends on the competition.

Just like Kominato Haruichi, his strength is not something that can be seen just by looking at the test.

Gradually, after testing, there were fewer and fewer who were not tested.

When there were five people left, the best test scores were Tojo and Kaneda. Both of them were originally famous pitchers in Tokyo, and Tojo was even the main pitcher in the national top four. (The game of the hard ball league is not the same system as Sawamura.) ）

Kaneda is ninety meters.

Tojo is 92 meters long.

They were the only two of these players to shoot more than 90 from distance.

"Next, Xiao-san Descendant."

The fourth to last, it was the turn of Xiaogu to fall.

The moment he saw Tsuki Tani, Sawamura felt that the blood in his body couldn't help but boil.

The big guy is on the field!

"Can I go all out?"

Akira Kazutani asked Takashima Rei who was in charge of the test seriously.

Takashima hadn't figured out what was going on, but it didn't matter if he motioned for him to throw it all out.

Qingdao's pitching test scale has been extended to a full 120 meters, and theoretically, it is impossible for a recent high school graduate to throw such a distance under any circumstances.

got the promise of Takashima Rei, and the momentum of Akira Tsukiya changed.

He was like an unknown creature, exuding a different aura in the pitching position.

With the stride of his body, the baseball in Xiao's hand was thrown out like a cannonball, exploding the whole field.

"Boom!"

With a terrifying whistling sound, the pitch flew and flew along the test ruler until it exceeded the limits of the ruler and then landed.

More than 120 meters, super long shot!

One goal, shocking the whole field, this is the ability of Xiaoya to fall.

A glint flashed in Takashima's eyes, and he said flatly, "It's okay, let's get ready for the base-running test." ”

After speaking, Takashima Rei calmly recorded the pitching results of Akira Shibuyani in his notebook.

１２０＋！

Potential: S

After the test was over, Takashima recited the name of the village.

"Eijun Sawamura."

Sawamura rushed forward and picked up a baseball.

To tell the truth, if he doesn't have his turn, he's going to die.

"It's him!"

"Nagano Prefecture, Eijun Sawamura of Akagi Junior High School."

"I really didn't expect that the big demon king of the national record would come to our school."

When the friends saw Sawamura playing, they couldn't help but mutter.

Rei Takashima was also proud.

Digging Jiaoze Village can be regarded as one of her two most successful poaching.

It's been a year and a half since Sawamura last pitched in Qingdao, and I don't know how far Sawamura has progressed?

In this regard, Takashima Rei is full of expectations.

With a baseball in his hand, Sawamura glanced at Akira Tani defiantly.

Then he stepped forward, and as his weight shifted, he threw the ball in his hand at the right time.

Although the speed of baseball is not as scary as that of Akira Shitani, it is far ahead of the others, and most importantly, Sawamura's pitching stamina is very strong.

"Smack!"

Baseball landing.

The assistant coach in charge of checking ran over to take a look and announced the result of Sawamura's first pitch.

"110 meters!"

At this time, all the friends in the audience were already stunned.

Another monster!

"Cut!"

Sawamura's eyes narrowed, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

The ball speed is not as good as Gu Xiao, so he admits it, after all, Gu Xiao is talented, and he can't compare. But how can his pitching distance be inferior to Akira Tsurutani?

Thinking about it, Sawamura raised his leg high, and then the leg cleaved down like a tomahawk.

With this action, Sawamura's body turned like a rolling windmill and threw his second ball fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball, like a ray of light, travels a distance of 100 meters.

"118 meters!"
