Although the dormitory rules are to meet at the dormitory on the evening of August 30, there is no specific time limit. If possible, Sawamura would like to wait until the afternoon before leaving. But the old man can no longer tolerate his casualness, as the ace of the national champion, his teammates are still fighting in school, how can he be so leisurely?

"If you are chased back, I can't spare you!!"

Under the threat of the old man's fists and kicks, Sawamura had no choice but to take the dim sum carefully prepared by his mother and the pudding he specially bought, and stepped on the tram back to school early in the morning.

After waving goodbye to the friends who came to see him off, Sawamura took out his mobile phone to send a group message to his teammates.

"I'm back!"

It was a full ten minutes and there was no reply.

Sawamura was not angry, and immediately added another one.

"Oh, there are too many things at home, what should I do if I can't take them? Is that kind big brother willing to come to the station to pick him up? ”

This time, the teammates were visibly enthusiastic.

Jia Weiyang (Kurachi), who opened the bow left and right: "What time is it?" You should be blunt about asking for help from your seniors, what are you thinking about like this? This senior is not such an unreasonable person. ”

Eat Ma Ma Xiang (Masuko): "Is there a pudding?" ”

Hidden Four Sticks (Kanemaru): "Do you need a car, I can borrow Takashima-sensei's if I need it." ”

Kominato Harushi (no screen name): "Welcome Rong Chun back to the team." ”

……

Sure enough, it's the charm of the food.

Sawamura smiled lightly and continued to message everyone.

After chatting for a while, when Sawamura looked up, there were already two people standing in front of him. An eldest sister in her thirties with a little brother of five or six years old.

"Demon King!!

The child excitedly pointed to Sawamura and said to his mother.

His mother gave her child a doting look, smiled and asked Sawamura if she could take a picture and sign her son's name.

"Of course!"

Sawamura readily agreed.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Tiger Wolf too!"

Sawamura's heart suddenly burst out, this name is mighty and domineering!

"I wish the tiger and wolf too healthy and happy. Eijun Sawamura! ”

Sawamura Mari signed his name and then went to the toilet under the pretext of using it.

Before you know it, Sawamura is already a celebrity. Naturally, the people around will inevitably point fingers, and even some fans may have to take photos and sign autographs.

If it's really free, Sawamura doesn't mind.

But on the train, he disguised himself a little with his hat and mask, returned to his seat, and fell asleep.

I don't know if he's not at school these days, how has the team become?

When Sawamura got off the train at the station, he saw the person who came to pick him up.

Kanamaru, Kuramochi, Masuko, Kominato, Kanamaru, Tojo......

Mom, a little too enthusiastic.

Sawamura silently counted the number of dim sums, and sadly found that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch them.

"Why did you come?"

Kuramochi's tone was very dissatisfied, and he was very enthusiastic and considerate to fish out Sawamura's bag and prepare to open it at the station.

"It's too ugly to eat, let's go back to school and open it again."

Sawamura persuaded with a wry smile.

Sawamura was in the morning bus, and by the time I got off the bus in Tokyo, it was already close to noon. The group turned back to the school tram, and when they arrived at the school, it was just time for dinner.

Sawamura put the salute back in the dormitory and followed everyone to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, almost everyone who saw Sawamura greeted him warmly, and Sawamura politely distributed the snacks brought from home to everyone. He didn't want to divide it, Kuramochi and Kanemaru had already pressed him and scavenged his bag.

Except for the pudding being cut off by the senior of the increase in children, there are a lot of other things, all of which are confiscated.

After eating, six people, including Sawamura, Kuramochi, Kanemaru, Kominato Haruichi, Shibuyani, and Miyuki, sat together.

Sawamura sat in the middle, and Miyuki sat opposite. On both sides of Sawamura are Kanamaru and Kominato Haru, and next to Miyuki are Kuramochi and Akira Sumiya.

Because of the personality of Senior Hakushu, he almost does not participate in team building discussions. The six people sitting here now, with the exception of Kanemaru, are all regular members of the new team.

During the meal, a few people talked about the team's recent situation and told Sawamura.

Now the seniors of the third grade and the players of the first and second grades have been completely separated.

The third-grade seniors have to prepare for the national sports competition. The first- and second-year players are preparing for the selection of the new team.

Originally, the Seido High School baseball team was established mainly in the third grade. In the main force of the first army, except for Sawamura, the trump card, Kurachi, the first baseman, and Hakushu, the right fielder, the others are all third-year.

These include Yusei as the first baseman, Ryosuke Kominato as the second baseman, Masuko as the third baseman, Itai as the left fielder, Jun Izashaki as the stalwart, and Chris at the catcher position.

Nine people, two-thirds of them are third-year seniors.

Not only the main team, but also nearly half of the substitutes are third-graders.

In this way, as soon as the third grade leaves, the entire army of Qingdao High School will be completely rebuilt.

In the original main second army, almost all non-third-year players were promoted to the first army. Among them are Maeen, Kanemaru, and Tojo.

After the Second Army was promoted, the quota of 20 people in the First Army could be considered complete.

But this is only in terms of personnel, in addition to personnel, there is also the main position, the team's back number, and the arrangement of the base.

These are troubles!

Now it has been confirmed that there are probably only Sawamura No. 1, Miyuki No. 2, Kurachi No. 6, and Hakushu No. 9.

With the exception of these four positions, the others will have to compete again.

A new round of main scramble has begun!

"Has the captain been decided?"

Sawamura asked directly.

Several people shook their heads.

That means not yet.

Sawamura frowned, it seemed that Supervisor Kataoka, Coach Ochiai, Minister Ota and Vice Minister Takashima Rei were not alone in their minds. If it's a person, they just announce it.

"The snake does not walk without a head, and the bird does not fly without a head, the captain should be determined first."

Sawamura said with a wry smile.

Seido High School has not yet decided on the main team, and the qualifiers for the fall tournament will begin at the beginning of September.

Autumn competitions are usually held in October.

But the situation in Tokyo is different, there are so many teams, there are 260 colleges and universities in total!

With so many schools, it is too cruel to have a single round of elimination, and it is not conducive to the development of the team.

Therefore, the organizing committee decided to arrange a qualifier before the official competition.

The qualifiers are drawn by these 260 schools, with four teams in a group, four teams playing a round-robin tournament, and the team with the highest points advances. If both teams have the same number of points, i.e. in case both teams have two wins and one defeat, the relationship between the winners and losers will be compared.

Qualifiers are seeded and generally don't have two particularly strong teams coming together.

The winning team will be drawn at the end of September for the real Tokyo Autumn Tournament.

The winner of the Autumn Tournament will qualify for the Spring Koshien Tournament.

Because Qingdao is a national winner, it does not need to participate in the qualifiers and directly advances to the main competition.

But even then, it will only be a little over a month until the official start of the competition. In such a short period of time, it is necessary not only to establish the main team, but also to hone the team.

It's so hard!

Especially since the captain has not yet been decided, which makes it even more difficult!
