Li Yuanrang woke up from his hotel bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info picked up his phone at the bedside and looked at the time.

"Half past four, it's starting to get dark so early?"

"It's genius that's starting to light up."

On the other bed, teammate Yabe is playing a mobile game on mute.

Li Yuanrang glanced at the date on his phone and confirmed that it was the early morning of the next day.

"It's best to take another temperature."

Yabe handed over an electronic thermometer.

Although Li Yuanrang didn't know why, he still measured it according to the other party's request.

"Thirty-eight degrees, it looks like it's dropped."

Yabe said.

"Thirty-eight degrees is still a fever!"

Li Yuanrang instantly felt nasal congestion, sore throat and weakness after seeing his body temperature.

"It's so much better than yesterday before I went to bed. It looks like I don't need to take you to the hospital today. ”

"Yesterday?"

Li Yuanrang began to recall what happened yesterday.

……

After the second half of the seventh inning, heavy rain fell in the Koshien area. The referee suspended the match.

Soaked through, Li Yuanrang sneezed for the first time in the rest area.

Ten minutes later, the organizers announced that the match would be the final result with the score at the end of seven innings. The next two games were cancelled and postponed to another date.

There was no school song to sing in unison, and there was no circumambulation to greet the audience.

The winner's Fuso Daihida was not happy at all.

……

"You keep sneezing when you start digging, and your temperature goes up when you get back to the hotel."

"Digging? By the way, what about my soil? ”

Li Yuanrang found the cloth bag he had prepared a long time ago, and it was empty.

"You said it yourself, 'It's not the last time I'll come to Koshien, but there's a chance!' ”

Li Yuanrang thought back for a moment, and it seemed that he had indeed said something similar at that time.

But in fact, from the time the game was stopped, his mind was a little dizzy, and he couldn't remember everything clearly.

"When will you go back to Tokyo?"

Li Yuanrang asked.

"Probably tomorrow, I can play in the Kansai area today. But you'd better lie down in the hotel honestly. ”

……

On the way back from Osaka to Tokyo, Li Yuanrang avoided sitting too close to Fukushima.

On the second day after returning to Tokyo, the baseball club held a plenary meeting, and Lee had to say hello to Fukushima.

"If you don't lose points, you might have won the rematch......"

"You said that at the end of the game."

"Really......"

Li Yuanrang felt that it was his mistake that caused the team to lose, and the last thing he dared to face was the captain Fukushima Ichihei, who was already in the third year.

"It's over, don't think about it anymore. Besides, it was beyond my expectations to be able to enter Koshien. ”

Fukushima Ippei really didn't think about entering Koshien at first. Start planning your university studies early.

Now not only did he play in Koshien, but he also won a winning pitch. Even the losing game was never hit by the opponent from start to finish.

As soon as he returned to Tokyo, three waves of scouts from different professional baseball teams had already come to his family to inquire about his future plans.

"I heard that there is no recommended place at Yingqing University, so I have to be admitted myself?"

Lee remembers that the first private university that came into contact with Fukushima was Okei University in Tokyo.

Unlike their number one nemesis in the six-university alliance, Hayata University. Yingqing Baseball Club advertises that it has no special enrollment at all, and all team members are treated equally in their studies.

"If you can't keep up with your grades when you enter school, you will repeat a grade or fail to complete your studies. But in fact, there is still a way to enroll. ”

If Yingqing University really has no sports special enrollment as advertised, his baseball club's performance in the six-university league will probably be on the same level as the public fish belly of Tokyo University.

In fact, in order to maintain his status as a famous baseball player, Ying Qing will also use various ways to recruit baseball players from all over the country.

One of the most important ways is to delineate candidates directly at the university level.

The Okei High School Baseball Club in Kanagawa Prefecture is their talent base. Baseball players from all over the world who were favored in middle school were recruited here at the college level. In three years, the best of the best will get the opportunity to go directly to university.

In addition, there are a number of places in the university baseball club reserved for newcomers from other colleges and universities that were not able to recruit them at the beginning.

Although Okei University does not have a recommended admission system for the Faculty of Physical Education like Hayata. However, there are actually many reserved places for the baseball club in the AO entrance examination for various subjects.

Kazuhei Fukushima, the ace pitcher who played in Koshien, was admitted to the school after being greeted by the baseball club, as long as he submitted an appropriate resume and written materials, and then passed a semi-symbolic interview.

"If I can play the main role by the time I reach the second or third grade, you guys may have a chance to enter Yingqing directly when they graduate."

Fukushima said.

Networking in student baseball has its own set of rules.

Whether it is a private elite school to collect talents from middle schools or the recommendation of universities for admission and AO entrance examinations.

Basically, the original school of origin of the recruited students is considered.

Peace School was not a baseball school before. So it's a blank slate in this network.

Fukushima knew that he would open up a new path for his alma mater when he went on to university.

If he can gain a foothold in the university league, future graduates of the Peace School will also be trusted by the Tokyo Six University League, or at least Okei University itself.

But that's all for later. The most important thing now is the replacement of the old and new clubs of the Peace School Baseball Club.

Today's meeting is also being held for that purpose.

"As everyone knows, the third-year seniors are retiring today."

The person who presided over the meeting was Sato, the head of the baseball club and the instructor.

Now Sato is no longer in the position of overseer. However, he is still in charge of the administrative work.

The rest of the team looked at Fukushima and Miyagi together.

The so-called third-grade seniors are actually the only two of them. The others have already dropped out of the department long before the start of this year's school year.

"About the ...... of the next commander"

Fukushima took over.

"Does anyone want to be in charge?"

Li Yuanrang looked around, and only Akio Yabe raised his hand.

"There are still a few seniors in the second grade, aren't they ......?"

Mr. Sato looked over at the four second-graders, and then his eyes stopped at Kawasaki, the third baseman, who immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"No, Sato-sensei, the Lord or something is not for me."

In terms of race results and position, Kawasaki was the most present in the second year.

However, Kawasaki himself understands that in terms of numbers and other aspects, after retiring from the third grade, it will be the first-year students who will lead the baseball club in the future. (To be continued.) )
