In late May, the Spring Kanto Convention came to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO The winning team was Mito Gakuin in Ibaraki, the host country.

This message only appeared in the corner of the college baseball section of the portal. And it didn't get much attention.

The baseball club of the Peace Academy holds practice games about two to three times a week.

In addition to the local teams in Tokyo, there are also a small number of foreign private tycoons who have come to Tokyo for exchanges.

At first, Lee was surprised that these teams could leave school for a long time in the middle of the semester to play in Tokyo.

But he soon found out that in fact, the Peace School was also open to special students.

Mid-term quiz in mid-May. The baseball club's special admissions are almost spotted.

However, in the special make-up exam held the day after the test, almost everyone passed close to the passing line.

The result, of course, was a happy one.

No one needs to miss training because of make-up classes. The baseball club can also concentrate more on preparing for the next summer games.

The summer conference was still held on a weekend in mid-June.

This year's draw on behalf of the Peace Academy was the main player of the baseball club, Akio Yabe.

On the day of the lottery meeting, Yabe deliberately combed his slippery three-seven hair. The eyes have also been specially changed to a frameless model.

"I've never seen you wear these glasses before. When was it matched? ”

Although Li Yuanrang will not enter as a representative of the lottery. However, he also came to the venue with other teammates, so he could get the results as soon as possible.

"Actually, I've always wanted to change to frameless. The portions are also lighter. I'm just worried that I won't be strong enough when I race. ”

"If you're really worried about this, go get some sports glasses!"

Li Yuanrang has always been worried about Yabe's glasses.

It's probably similar to the kind of worrying about the ceiling fan falling overhead.

Especially when Yabe was still working as a catcher. Take off your mask every time you catch a fly ball. As a teammate, Li Yuanrang is always worried that his glasses will be taken down.

But Yabe has refused to switch to dedicated sports glasses.

After all, his glasses aren't just worn on baseball fields. It is also necessary to supplement the usual schoolwork.

Wearing fancy sports glasses to class is just too exaggerated.

Yabe's countermeasures were a little rustic in this era.

When he races, he wears an elastic band around his temples. Of course, the color is the same black as the temples and hair. Not visible from a distance.

Speaking of hairstyles for hair. Now more than half of the players in the baseball club of the Peace School Park have taken the initiative to shave their heads or inch their heads.

Those who don't shave their heads are either general members of the department who have been directly promoted from the Peace School Middle School.。 Either it's international students like Li Yuanrang and Donald.

Even so. Li Yuanrang also controlled the length of his hair in order to be fresh during competition and training.

And the main general, Yabe, took the initiative to shave his hair last summer. Now I insist on keeping the hairstyle of ordinary college boys.

"Anyway, I'm also the main general. If I shave the owner's head, it will be the same as other schools! ”

Yabe answered questions about hairstyles in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone.

But he's right.

Since the school has invested a lot of money in the baseball club. The purpose is essentially to hope that the team will become the school's publicity board.

The selection of the Tokyo Area Summer Festival will be broadcast on satellite channels. The highlights will be broadcast on the sports news channel of the terrestrial wave.

As the defending champion, the Peace Academy has naturally attracted much media attention.

As for the luck of the draw, there is no need to worry much about it this year.

Because of the top four in the Spring Conference. Peace Academy is the seed team of the summer conference this year.

Not only will it be in the third round of the competition. And at first they will avoid other major powerhouses.

However, there are other unexpected downsides that can arise.

The opponent of the third round of the Peace School is the obscure metropolitan Minami Chofu University.

The tournament was originally scheduled to take place on the weekend of mid-July. But on the day of the race, it was raining. The schedule was postponed to Monday.

Metropolitan schools tend to have only a small number of top players. The ace of the southern transfer of Bugao can take advantage of the rainy day break to get more rest.

For the Peace Academy, which waits for work, this is secondary.。

What's more, the scheduled date for the fourth round is Wednesday. And Takano doesn't seem to have any plans to postpone the next round of matches due to schedule changes.

Between games, pitchers only have one day to rest.

"Now to announce the roster for the next game, the first batter, the shortstop Tokuda ......"

The main lineup announced by Superintendent Yagi is not much different from the Spring Festival. It's just that the third baton that originally belonged to Yabe was replaced by first-year newcomer Kojima.

The starting pitcher was replaced by a first-year boy at the ninth base, Shimabukuro.

"Shimabukuro, the task given to you is the first three rounds. Keep the points conceded within two points! ”

Superintendent Yagi, who treats students for special admissions and general admissions, uses a completely different tone to communicate.

The recruits are accustomed to strict team discipline and obedience to supervision.

Asking them in a firm and unambiguous tone can go a long way in terms of efficiency.

"Yabe, you're in charge of the game after the third game. The mission is also three rounds. If the opponent can hold on until the sixth game......"

Although the opponent has already won two of the previous matches. However, it appears from the information gathered by the intelligence team. The strength of the southern transfer can still only be regarded as ordinary.

In this game, the goal of the Peace School at the beginning was to end the game early in five innings to save the pitcher's physical strength.

Therefore, compared to pitchers, the burden of playing the line will be heavier.

The third round of the Nishi-Tokyo Tournament and the first summer tournament that the Peace Academy participated in this year was held at the Onoji Stadium in Machida City.

The baseball stadium is still under construction, even with its lighting. Since this year, it has been used as a quasi-home for the Yomiuri giants "Three Armies".

In Japan's professional baseball league, each team has a second-tier presence as a reserve team.

The second-army teams are divided into two leagues, the east and west, and play their own second-army leagues.

And it was only the deep-pocketed teams like the Giants that set up the three armies.

They don't have any other professional baseball teams to compete with. It can only rely on the independent league and social team to conduct frequent practice games, maintaining the scale of 90 to 100 games per year.

Such a dense schedule of matches is bound to clash with the two armies who share the home field.

That's why the Giants rented Ono Road to share the pressure of the game.

There are only over 2,000 seats in total at Onoji Stadium.

Because today's game was on Monday, there were not many spectators who came to watch the game.

To Li Yuanrang's surprise, the number of opponents' support groups seemed to be hundreds.

"Aren't they public schools? Don't have to take classes? ”

"Anyway, the final exams are over, so it's just a holiday."

Non-school students in public schools have more time than many private schools. This is not only reflected in the tutoring after the final exams. It's the same in normal times.

Students in the School of Peace have only one day off per week. Most public schools strictly follow the two-day weekly holiday.

This is one of the reasons why the admission rate of prestigious private schools is higher than that of ordinary public schools.
