Chapter 7: It's Back to School!

I finally slept a little sleep, and when they finished washing up in Zecun, the life of the new semester had begun.

The baseball club members did not have formal classes on the first day of school, which was a good arrangement for the school.

Classes are divided in the morning, new clubs are recruited, and the opening ceremony is ......

In the afternoon, the players of the baseball club will start adaptation training.

It's not that the baseball club's supervisor Kataoka is unkind, it's that time doesn't allow them to continue to relax.

The start of school is April 1st, and at this time, the grouping about Chun University has come down.

The official start date of the Tokyo Spring Tournament is set for April 9th.

In a week's time, the spring tournament in Tokyo will begin.

The spring contest may seem inconsequential, but the reality is not. Even if the teams that make it to the finals in the spring tournament will only be able to participate in the Kanto Games, not Koshien.

However, the attitude towards the spring tournament is often much more important than the autumn tournament, which is related to the Koshien quota competition.

There is nothing rare about the places in the Kanto Conference, and none of Tokyo's famous giants will do their best for this competition.

But the spring contest is different.

The top 16 teams in the Spring Tournament are directly seeded for the Summer Tournament.

What is a seeded team?

This means that you won't face any other seeded teams until you reach the quarterfinals of the summer regionals.

The setting of this grouping is very important for a fierce battle zone like Nishitokyo.

In the Tokyo Tournament, especially in the West Tokyo Tournament, the so-called death division is simply a prehistoric pit.

Just like the autumn competition that ended before, if Qingdao High School was not in the group of death, it might not be eliminated.

It's the same in the spring Koshien period, if it weren't for the fact that Inagi Industrial High School was in the group of death, who would have won the crown of Koshien in spring? I'm afraid it's still unknown.

In such a situation, even Seido High School has to be careful. Who put them in the worst group of death before?

If they lose their seeding position in the spring competition, they will meet Yakushi in a row in the summer competition in three months' time......

That's bad luck!

In order to prevent this unlucky possibility from really appearing, Qingdao High School must do its best to form a combat force as soon as possible. And in the following spring tournament, he won the seeding spot.

In this way, the time they can really rest is only in the morning of the first day of school.

As soon as the school started, the leaders of the various clubs of Qingdao High School wore simple clothes to the club's activity area and began their recruitment journey.

Strive to complete the task of recruiting new students while entering the school.

Beautiful posters, soft words......

For a while, the freshmen who had just entered the school felt as if they had entered heaven.

It looks very lively, but there is no sign of the Seido High School baseball club in it.

This is the best department in Qingdao High School, and they don't even bother to put up a promotional poster, anyway, they don't worry about the lack of manpower.

In the admissions brochure of Qingdao High School, they will see detailed admission rules.

First of all, you need to submit your application before the start of school, and if you are too late, you must submit your application to the activity room of the baseball club of Qingdao High School before 12 noon on the day of school.

Then after attending the opening ceremony and dividing their classes.

All students who submit applications will be subject to a unified assessment.

As a general rule, the Seido High School baseball team will not ask players to withdraw from the club.

Except for some who are really inappropriate, the coaches of Qingdao High School will take the way of persuasion to quit.

The rest can take part in baseball club training for as long as you wish.

However, just because you participate does not mean that you are a member of the Seido High School baseball team.

In the baseball club of Seido High School, there is a strict hierarchy.

It is said that after the new students enter the school, the number of regular members of Seido High School will exceed 100.

How will these more than 100 people be divided into ranks?

So let's talk about it. First of all, in the Seido High School baseball club, players are divided into regular members and probationary members.

In a general sense, the baseball club of Qingdao High School is only a regular member, and the probationary club members are not counted.

If the trainee is hard enough in the process of training, he can also be promoted to a full-fledged member.

Some beginners, whose strength is really not up to standard, will generally be assigned to the probationary department.

In addition, those who have experience and have a certain strength will be selected as official members.

The treatment of regular department members is completely different from that of trainee department members. First of all, you will enjoy the dormitory, which means that only the regular members of the department will have a dormitory.

Those geniuses who were specially recruited by Takashima Rei crossed the level of probationary members as soon as they entered the school, and they were directly official members of the baseball club. (In the original book, Sawamura was originally an official member of the ministry, but later descended by himself.) )

This is where the players will be divided into three levels.

That is, the so-called first, second and third armies.

Theoretically, there are 20 people in the first team of the Seido High School baseball club.

There were 20 people in the 2nd army.

The number of the three armies is not fixed, just like the previous Qingdao High School had only 19 players in the three armies.

However, with the enrollment of new students, the ranks of the three armed forces have been greatly expanded.

These people all have dormitories allocated by the school and can enjoy the allowance of the baseball club's dedicated canteen.

To put it bluntly, that is, if you eat at school, there will be a certain level of subsidy. Even like invited students, the entire meal fee is free.

For example, Sawamura is a special invitation student.

The conditions of the Second Army are better than those of the Third Army, first of all, as long as you enter the Second Army, you can represent Qingdao High School to participate in practice competitions.

Needless to say, in this huge baseball club, they belong to a group of beings standing at the top of the pyramid.

The total number of the 123rd Army could not exceed 120 men.

Why?

In fact, it is very simple, because the current Qingdao High School baseball club has a total of 40 dormitories.

If there are more people, the dormitory arranged by the school will not be able to recruit at all.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be two new members squeezed into an old dormitory.

Of course. As Seido High School's reputation grew, it was unlikely that the housing shortage would continue forever.

The school has decided to spend money to increase the number of dormitories, and the initial budget is to add 20 places and 60 places.

One hundred and eighty members of the official department!

In other schools, there are only 150 or 60 members in the department.

In contrast, Qingdao High School is much more high-end and atmospheric.

This is a school plan, and it is not so troublesome for the time being.

So how do you assess the level of the players?

It's up to the draft.

Seido High School's auditions are different from those of other schools.

First of all, the students who have gone through special recruitment, the so-called draft is just a passing scene. As long as you don't behave too shamefully, you can generally be rated as a member of the official department.

Secondly, the students who sign up by themselves are determined by the school's own situation, and decide whether they are regular members or probationary members.

If there is something particularly outstanding, there is also a second round of play-offs.

The school will arrange the seedlings who perform well in the draft to the training of the second army or the first army, and secretly score them.

If your score reaches the standard by then, you are likely to be directly promoted to the second army, or even the first army.

From the apprenticeship to the third army to the second army, and finally to the first army.

The players of the Seido High School baseball club jokingly call this road 'climbing'!

Only those who are truly persevering can climb all the way up.

This process, Sawamura Rongjun, whether in his previous life or in this life, has not experienced it. Although I have heard of some occasionally, I don't know the process.

He never thought he would have anything to do with these things.

But the world is so unexpected, and the things that originally had nothing to do with him ended up in the hands of Sawamura.

Of course, these are later words, and the current Sawamura Eijun doesn't know.

He honestly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then had breakfast and attended the opening ceremony of the school.

A group of people from the baseball club were pulled directly to the podium, as excellent school representatives, to accept the adoring eyes of a group of elementary school students and elementary school girls.

In the process. These seniors, who have just been promoted to the third grade, are particularly calm.

It looks like they've practiced a lot in private.

There is still one year left in school, and the time spent in the baseball club is four months to half a year.

In the last period of time, they probably don't want to leave any regrets for themselves.

In contrast, a few of the second-year players were much more lazy. They don't have the personal feel of these seniors in the third grade.

Like Xiao, who had burned out in Koshien before, he dozed off directly.

Sawamura kicked him hard with his pinned foot.

"It's the opening ceremony, you give me normal."

After Sawamura Rongchun's rough reminder, Tsukitani Xiao finally came back to his senses.

I opened my hazy eyes and looked at the elementary school brothers and elementary school girls who were applauding excitedly in front of me.

A look of ignorance.

For a moment, Sawamura even suspected that this kid had probably forgotten what he was doing now.

It's not that Sawamura Eijun is suspicious, but that Akira Shibuyani proves it by himself.

He was really confused!

After attending the opening ceremony, for Sawamura Eijun, the next task is to divide the class.

At the end of each school year in the island country, students readjust their classes. (Actually, many of our schools are like this now.) )

This year, Sawamura Eijun and their class have been adjusted. Sawamura Eijun looked over, and they were all acquaintances.

Kominato, Tojo, Kanemaru, Akatsuki Shibuyani......

There are a few people in the second grade who can play the main force, and none of them all appear in this class.

If the school didn't mean it, I don't believe there would be such a coincidence when Sawamura was killed.

Even the manager of the team, the confused little beauty, was in this class.

Acquaintances sit together, and naturally they have nothing to talk about.

A group of classmates around him were all looking at them with envy.

These are the main forces in front of the school to win the spring armor championship.

To put it bluntly, they are half the main lineup.
