Chapter 0 The start of a new school year
When Li Yuanrang was in his third year of junior high school, his family asked him to study abroad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first is because his grades are only in the middle and bottom of the class, and no matter how you look at it, you can't get into a reliable high school. The second is because his parents are at the peak of their careers, and they really don't have much energy to educate and discipline their children.
After graduating from junior high school, I spent some time strengthening my Japanese, which I already had a little foundation based on my personal interests. In the spring of the following year, after a brief interview and questionnaire. Li Yuanrang became a freshman at the Peace School High School.
This is a private school located in the suburbs of Tokyo. As a high school stage of the Peace School Junior High School Consistent Education, students who have attended the school for three years or more can be recommended for admission to Peace School University after graduation as long as they attend and abide by the school rules honestly.
Li Yuanrang's parents took a fancy to the point of going straight to university, so they sent him here to study. They have no confidence in their son's grades, and admission to this kind of school has more or less the most basic guarantee.
Speaking of school rules, the school rules of the Peace School are not complicated, and there are no more requirements than the most basic compliance content. Mobile phones can be brought into the school, and the length and color of hair are within the tolerance range as long as they are not too excessive, and even there are flexible plans for work hours.
Because of such liberal rules, there are many special students who need to be able to manage their time flexibly.
Either they are professional tennis players who need to train or compete intensively at the teenage stage, or they are young talents who regularly record programs or participate in audition activities.
If there is only one thing that is somewhat enforced, it is that all students at the School of Peace must participate in at least one extracurricular club.
Whether it is an artist or an international student, it is no exception.
In order to choose where to go for extracurricular activities, during recess or lunch break since the beginning of the school year, Li Yuan asked the metropolis to stay in the window seat on the left side of his penultimate row, and took out the recruitment materials of various clubs to look through them, but he was never able to make a decision.
He has been interested in reading books, anime, and games since he was a child.
So I investigated the associations related to these things one by one.
It is said that because of the inconvenience of arranging changing rooms, the cosplay club does not recruit male members. The cosplay photography department has to answer a series of questions.
The first question is generally "what brand of camera do you like?" or something like that, and Li Yuanrang's answer is "SONY". It was directly eliminated.
The reading department has to read two books a week and submit reading notes, which is equivalent to adding an extra heavy homework to yourself.
Anime and manga are divided into two different societies, and the two sides are rivals to each other, but they also have to submit appreciation reports every week.
The game department is even more exaggerated, and the game department of the Peace School Park does not play games, but makes its own games and sells them on the ComicMarket every year. Every day is just as hard as an office worker working overtime.
As for the tea ceremony club, calligraphy club, flower arrangement club, etc., I can't be interested when I see the name.
Most of the rest are sports clubs.
Taekwondo, kendo, boxing, judo, and of course, karate. If you enter the community of these fighting skills, you will definitely have to suffer a lot.
Or do ball games seem safer?
Li Yuanrang has not had much interest in sports since he was a child, although he has started to walk briskly in the past year because of the step competition with others on social networking sites, but in his opinion, this is actually just another kind of social online game.
Football, basketball and other popular sports of the same age, not to mention participating in the game in person, even the live broadcast of the game almost does not pay attention.
But he reads sports comics, and he reads everything about it. From the popular soccer basketball, to the slightly less popular cycling or golf. I don't even know if it's a chess sport or not.
All of these cartoons Li Yuanrang has dabbled in some extent.
Of course, the most watched is baseball, which occupies half of the theme of Japanese sports manga. In a sense, he's already a baseball enthusiast.
I've never seen a real person wearing a baseball uniform, a glove bat, or a baseball entity. But through the comics, some of the basic concepts and rules of baseball have long been memorized.
"Peace School also has a baseball club."
When he turned to the introduction page of the baseball club, the idea of applying to join flashed through Li Yuanrang's mind.
In addition to basic buildings such as school buildings, various sports facilities are also important for campus tours before entering the school, and the first of these is the baseball field.
The baseball field at the Peace School is not shared with other sports and is an exclusive field. The dimensions are fully in line with the requirements of the official game, and there are fixed spectator stands and players' rest areas on both sides of the first and third bases, and even the lighting equipment for night games is also complete.
A baseball team with such a field should be valued by the school and will not be an underdog.
No, not only will it not be a weak team, it will probably be a super strong team. Maybe there will be dozens or hundreds of members in the department, and maybe the main lineup will be sports students from all over the world.
According to the plot of many baseball comics, students who are not qualified to join such a baseball club will not only never get the back number of the players on the court, but even have to be responsible for organizing the utensils and maintaining the field for the entire three years of high school......
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Just when Li Yuanrang closed the brochure and almost dispelled the idea of joining the baseball club, the corner of his eye swept to the cover of the recruitment materials again, and a line of small words caught his attention.
"The first member of the department who joins in the new school year can immediately enter the starting nine, and they can have a back number for three years of high school......"
He couldn't help but read it.
"What does that mean?"
"It's literal."
The voice from behind answered Li Yuanrang's self-talk.
The person who answered the call was Akio Yabe, a classmate of Li Yuanrang. It's a small man with glasses and a three-and-seven-minute hair.
Although the figure is inconspicuous, the facial features are quite handsome, and it seems that it is very popular with girls from the beginning of school.
"There are only eight baseball players in the club right now, so it's still too late for you to sign up now."
Yabe added.
"Isn't it almost May, and you haven't hired anyone yet?"
It's been almost a month since the start of school, and it stands to reason that with the popularity and status of baseball in Japan, someone should have filled up the quota long ago.
"And Yabe, aren't you from the baseball club, and I won't be the first to sign up now."
"No, no, no, I don't count."
"Why?"
"I joined the baseball club in middle school, and those who have been promoted directly from our middle school are not considered new members."
Yabe explained as he took out a printed form from his schoolbag and slapped it on Li Yuanrang's desk.
"If you want to participate, just fill this in!"
