The Summer Convention, which begins in July, is the most important tournament in college football every year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Out of more than 100 schools in the Nishitokyo area, only the team that won the championship entered the Koshien Tournament.

In order to strengthen the team's combat power. Members of the Peace School Baseball Club came to Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture for a camping camp for Golden Week.

The training camp is not located in Nikko City. Rather, it is in a hot spring town on the shore of the lake in Chuzenji Temple.

There is an open space on the edge of the town, which is usually used by locals to play "grass ball".

The part of the inner field is neat, and there are also base bags. The outfield is boundless, and I don't even bother to draw the line.

When it comes to training facilities alone, this is certainly not as good as the venue in the Peace Academy.

So much so that Li Yuanrang had to suspect that the overseer Yagi chose this place purely in the hope of winning a publicly-funded tour for himself during the large-scale consecutive holidays.

According to Yagi's own explanation, he did not lead the team to Nikko this time to strengthen the team's skills and tactics. It's about strengthening the physical and technical strength of the players.

According to the original plan. Your daily workout starts with climbing the steps.

Nikko is mountainous and naturally there are stairs.

Although climbing steps wears your knees more than running laps on flat ground. But for most players, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

In addition to the starting pitcher, baseball is far more explosive than endurance.

Aerobic endurance is more of an exercise when running on flat ground.

Climbing stairs consumes more than half the energy in an instant than running.

By exercising in this way, your body converts more energy in a short period of time. The effect of the workout is closer to the actual combat needs of baseball games.

However, there is a problem with Inspector Yagi's plan.

Nikko is a tourist destination. It's Golden Week in early May again. Not only from all over Japan, but also from other countries.

Exercising on the steps is always a matter of meeting them.

Not only is it inconvenient for yourself, but it also adds confusion to tourists who really want to enjoy the scenery.

After giving it a try, Inspector Yagi announced that the training for climbing the stairs would be changed to early in the morning, when it was just after dawn.

Although there are still tourists who wake up early and want to see the sunrise in the mountains. It's better anyway.

The time originally set aside for physical training was used to strengthen the mental side.

There are also special arrangements for spiritual training this time.

The lake has beautiful scenery and has been a fishing resort since ancient times.

Fishing is an activity that requires patience. Every afternoon, Superintendent Yagi leads all the team members to fish by the lake.

According to a certain parlance. There are many benefits to fishing for baseball players.

The most important thing is to cultivate a calm mindset.

This is good for all aspects of the game. Especially blows.

At the moment when a fish bites a hook, accurate timing is also a test of the ability to react from static to dynamic.

Baseball games don't go on all the time like football and basketball.

The state from static to dynamic is frequently switched.

So fishing is a great way for baseball players to get used to the rhythm of this switch.

Either way, it's hard for a young student in his teens to sit quietly. Fiddle with the rod for a while. Small fish are naturally always difficult to take the bait.

A few hours passed, and only Sato, an instructor who was addicted to swiping his mobile phone, caught a small fish. Everyone else went home empty-handed.

"Let's add this fish to the curry for dinner today!"

Mr. Sato is generous and wants to share his gains with the team members.

But the big guys shook their heads together.

"There's no such thing as putting fish in curry!"

"What if it's a pufferfish, it's poisonous?"

"How can there be a puffer fish that grows in a lake, and I don't know what a puffer fish looks like?"

So the fish was cooked over a firewood fire and became Sato-sensei's own side dish for dinner.

……

On the third day of the training camp, we finally ushered in the first practice competition in the dormitory.

The opponent is the local powerhouse Shiratori Okikaga in Tochigi Prefecture.

The game certainly won't be played on that humble course by the lake. Instead, it is held in the stadium of the opposing school.

Shiratori Okashikaga and its predecessor, Shiratori Gakuen, have entered Koshien many times. On the one hand, I was able to meet such a practice opponent this time, because of the fact that Peace Gakuen won in Nishitokyo last summer, and on the other hand, because Superintendent Yagi had been teaching at Shiratori University for many years, and he was able to contact the affiliated university of Shiratori University through his own connections.

"Minister Fujiwara said that your team was coming to Tochigi to stay in the house, but I didn't believe it at first. The training facilities here are not comparable to those in Tokyo. ”

The superintendent of Shiratori Okashikaga is considered a junior of the Yagi superintendent, and the two were teammates for a short year in college.

"Nikko is a great place. Climbing and fishing every day, you can learn something different from what you can learn on the course. ”

"Caught a fish?"

"Yesterday our instructor caught one. I grilled it and ate it, and it was said to taste good. ”

"How dare you eat! After the earthquake, there was no nuclear power plant accident, and for a long time, the fish in Lake Chuzenji were forbidden to be eaten. Recently, some varieties have been lifted, but ......"

Before the Shiratori Ashikaga overseer finished speaking, Sato-sensei suddenly covered his abdomen.

"Where's the toilet?"

The host's team pointed in the right direction. Mr. Sato trotted all the way at unimaginable speed.

"Radiation causes diarrhea?"

"I don't think I've heard of it."

……

Lee Wonrang took on the role of an outfielder in this practice match.

Occasionally, the catcher will not be able to handle the work due to fatigue or other factors. If you develop the ability to defend other positions, at least in this case you can continue to contribute to the team with your strikes.

The people who cast this scene in the Peace School are all newcomers.。 But the line is basically the main force that will start in the summer conference.

As a result, the competition became a fireworks display.

At the end of the nine innings, the two sides played a score of 9-7.

Li Yuanrang and Tokuda took over the position of the throw in the second half of the ninth inning. Won the game for the team.

"How's it going, this year's team?"

After the game, the opposing supervisor asked.

"If you put it in Tokyo, you can probably make it to the top four."

"Isn't that still a good show."

"This year's Shimono Academy isn't as strong as last year, right?"

"But it's better than the top four in Tokyo."

Shimono Gakuin, the overlord of the high school ball world in Tochigi Prefecture, is the target that all schools in the prefecture want to take down.

As one of the largest private schools in the country. Shimono Gakuin has won almost all of Koshien in Tochigi Prefecture.

The most recent one was last year's Summer Conference.

However, almost all of the main players who won the national championship last year graduated. The current main lineup was just formed last fall.

In the last two local conventions, Shiratori Ōashikaga met Shimono Gakuin twice, losing by a very narrow margin.

And the Peace School under the command of Yagi Superintendent did not use all his strength to defeat Shiratori Ōashikaga in the practice match.

Perhaps it can be counted as an indirect reference indicator.
