It's April 1 again, and it's time for new students to enroll.

To Sawamura's surprise, the news of the merger of the school has not come for a long time, and everything is calm. I don't know if it's because his own level of insight into people's hearts is not enough, or if Principal Takada is pretending to be skilled.

In short, when Sawamura applied for activity funding with the principal in the new school year, he didn't see anything abnormal. Principal Takada, who picked the door, also gave Sawamura 50,000 oceans for the first time. This money is for those young players, that is, one person, half a year's study fee.

But for Akagi, it's the cost of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, a semester, and the entire team. It is distributed among more than a dozen people, and one person is a little more than a thousand a month. This money is stretched thin just for steamed buns. (The price and exchange rate are 1:16, that is, one yuan is exchanged for 16 yen, and more than 1,000 is equivalent to less than 100 yuan.) ）

"You can't all count on school."

Seeing Sawamura's ugly face, Takada also knew that he was a great contributor to the school, the top four teams in the county, and it was a bit unreasonable to approve such a small amount of activity funds. But the school is really difficult, and he can't help it.

"With your strength, you can go to those companies and shops to get sponsorship. I think there will be a lot of companies willing to sponsor you. ”

In the summer tournament, Akagi made it to the semifinals in Nagano Prefecture and created a miracle.

For the Bunchen Cup, the Kanto region will be preliminaries in the fall, and the Kanto Games and national tournaments will be held in the spring. At the time of the autumn qualifiers, it was less than two months after the summer tournament, and everyone thought that Akagi, who had been exposed by Tenryuji, would definitely fall into a bitter battle.

Maybe in the second round, maybe in the third round, they will definitely be eliminated.

The result is a big surprise that all the staff of Akagi Middle School seem to have been reborn in two months. Their garrison was not perfect, but it was already decent.

After passing all the way, they actually reached the semi-finals for the second time.

It wasn't until the semi-finals that Nagano Metropolitan High School met that the two sides had a wonderful pitcher battle. Akagi finally missed a move and lost 1:2 to Nagano Metropolitan High School and was eliminated from the competition.

By this time, even those who didn't know much about baseball knew that the rise of Akagi was probably just around the corner.

Akagi, which already rivals Nagano Metropolitan in the autumn tournament, is sure to create a miracle this summer.

After that, during the long winter break season, Akagi was not idle. Although they can't go on an expedition, many schools come to play practice matches against Akagi. In the fifteen practice matches of the winter break season, Akagi won all of them. Defeated many Kanto giants, and even national teams.

Since then, Akagi has become famous.

Although it has not yet performed in major events such as the national or Kanto conventions. But Sawamura's name spread among the top players in middle school.

"Baseball Boys" also promoted Sawamura from the third echelon of the next-generation talent ranking to the second echelon, believing that Sawamura is the leader of the next generation of middle school baseball after the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

There is also Feng Xiang, as Akagi's reputation spreads, Feng Xiang was also selected into the list for the first time. In Nagano, there are only four teams in the leaderboard, and the others are all alone.

Haruka Nanami at Tenryuji Temple, Mari at Nagano Metropolitan University, Matsumoto at Daihoku Junior High School, and Sawamura at Akagi.

Originally, out of a hundred players in the country, Nagano Prefecture itself accounted for four, but now it has become five! This ratio, which used to be very high in the whole country, has now gone one step further and jumped to fifth.

Second only to Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka and Shizuoka prefectures.

Of course, Feng Xiang can be selected, which is different from the complete grassroots of Zecun. He used to be the main catcher of the national runner-up, although it was only a matter of elementary school, but the national runner-up is the national runner-up. It was very helpful for him to get on the list.

I really don't know if I don't know it, and I'm shocked when I see it. I didn't think anything at first, but later people were surprised to find that Akagi Middle School, which had no experience in competitions, actually had two top players in the country.

And these two are not in vain, they have proved their strength through one game after another.

Striving for the fourth place in the country, Tianlongsi Middle School, lost by two points. Twice defeated Nagano Metropolitan High School, one of the top eight in Kanto, and won one and lost one, without suffering. In the practice competition, many famous heroes in the country were killed.

A hundred people seems like a lot, but you must know that there are not only people in the soft ball league, but also young league players in the hard ball league. Eliminate these youth baseball players, and I am afraid that there are not even fifty players in the soft ball league.

There are less than 50 people, scattered in more than 40 competition areas, more than 8,000 teams. On average, more than 160 teams can be assigned to one.

And Akagi himself accounts for two, and teams like them in the whole country can be counted in a single slap.

Looking at it this way, Akagi is awesome!

With these announcements, everyone is more optimistic about Akagi. Many people even say that this summer, Akagi will completely break the tacit understanding that the three kings of Nagano Prefecture monopolize the quota for the Kanto Games.

Now in Nagano Prefecture, Akagi has impressed everyone with his efforts last summer and autumn. Now, both fans and the media have equated them with the three kings of Nagano.

I believe that the summer in Nagano will be filled with exciting competitions.

Principal Takada also knows this, so he will tell Sawamura to solicit sponsorship. There are definitely quite a few companies willing to help Akagi now.

Of course, Sawamura knows about this. In fact, there are many companies that contact Sawamura now, but the price they offer is not very satisfactory to Sawamura. Even if they want to be exclusive, they don't want to pay too much money, and the most annoying thing is that their contract requires them to sign in Sawamura to graduate.

Sawamura plans to lead his friends to dominate the country, how can he let his friends make such a sacrifice because of only hundreds of thousands.

He was specially recruited to Qingdao, and it seems that the scholarship given in three years alone is more than hundreds of thousands.

These companies are too picky!

"I see!"

Sawamura put away 50,000 oceans, that is, five large bills.

Leaving the principal's office, Sawamura saw the scene of the school's various clubs recruiting students. I have to say, I really miss it.

For recruiting new people, the friends are very positive, constantly asking how to post advertisements and recruit new people in Sawamura. As one of the top four in Nagano Prefecture, it is conceivable that the recruitment situation in Akagi will be very good this year.

Sawamura himself, however, is reluctant to recruit people. At the beginning, Akagi had just become famous, and there were many seniors of the same level and even first-year high school who licked their faces and wanted to come to the Akagi baseball team, but they were all politely declined by Sawamura.

Sawamura is reluctant to recruit people, a person's energy is limited, he has to practice himself, plus guiding Yamaguchi, Nakagawa and them, they have already occupied all of Sawamura's time, and this is still the case that Fengxiang and Oda have helped him a lot.

Let him guide others again, Sawamura really doesn't have that energy.

It's just that the principal gave instructions that the baseball team can't recruit people.

"Then recruit six, only six people!"

Sawamura thought that he would have to find a team's substitutes.
