Chapter 63: The Intruder
Although the final exams are over, the summer vacation does not begin until late July. The training of the baseball club www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is still not available until after the end of class at 3 p.m.
After Tuesday afternoon's practice, the players came to the sidelines to rehydrate with their ice-cold sports drinks.
Li Yuanrang opened his can of drink and took a sip, and then he found that there was a back-eyed figure in front of him, standing in front of the drink box, as if he was hesitating whether to take it or not.
"This man doesn't seem to have seen him before. Is it one of our subordinates? ”
Li Yuanrang asked Yabe beside him. But it seems to be a little louder. When the stranger heard this, he suddenly felt weak for some reason, and ran away.
"Guy with a shaved head, stop me!"
Li Yuan let the first rush out, but in the end, it was Miyagi, a stalwart who ran faster, who blocked people.
"Let's be clear, I didn't drink the drink, I just came to do reconnaissance."
The shaved head, blue tight-fitting underwear, and white ball pants looked like a member of the baseball club of another school.
"Kikusui high?"
Kikusui High School is the opponent of the next game of the Peace Academy.,It's reasonable if they send someone to investigate.。
"It's Akikawa high."
"What school is that?"
Li Yuanrang did not know much about the situation of other schools in the area. In addition to the opponents he encountered during the game, he only knew a few first-line celebrities that his teammates would discuss in chat.
"A private school some distance from us. If they break through in the second round, they will be met in the third round. ”
Yabe took out the battle table he had stored on his phone and found Akikawa's location.
Private Akikawa High School is a private school with a long history. In the history of more than 30 years, there have been three times in the spring and once in the summer. The most recent was a decade ago.
Although it is not as good as the Hayata Sho and Fuso of the West Tokyo Twins, they are third. But it's also a powerhouse.
The baseball club at Akikawa High School is well-funded and well-equipped. Every year, baseball special enrollment is collected from all levels across the country. If you go outside of Tokyo, you can definitely be considered a team at the top level.
"Where's the name?"
Captain Ichihei Fukushima, who had not spoken, asked.
"Mutsu Takefu."
"It's really commensurate with the looks."
Mutsu has strong muscles and looks powerful. It's also because the tonnage is not light, and the running speed is not fast.,This was caught by the members of the Peace School Park.。
Michinoku relied on his excellent hitting prowess in his junior high school days and was recruited to the Akikawa High School Baseball Club. However, he is still a member of the Second Army who has no back number in the first grade.
"Dress up as one of our subordinates and sneak into training, and you'll be out of the way."
Li Yuanrang didn't quite understand Mutsu's approach. There are only a dozen people in the Peace School Baseball Club, including coaches and managers, and of course everyone knows each other.
"In our school, the seniors with the back number will not remember the face of our second army sparring partner......"
"Don't you know that most schools don't have such a thing as a second army in the baseball club?"
"I really didn't know what the average school was like before."
When Takeo Mutsu said the words "ordinary school", his tone was filled with an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"I see, this guy is a baseball."
Akio Yabe gave his assessment of Mutsu. The so-called "baseball" does not mean a dumb person with poor understanding in the field of baseball. Rather, it refers to people who are obsessed with baseball training and ignore the real world.
Mutsu Takefu is a prime example.
I've been involved in baseball since elementary school. The secondary school is affiliated with a local baseball school. Except for class, the rest of the time is all training. Completely ignorant of other things.
Because of this, after accepting the investigation instructions issued by the superintendent, he could only think of the method of pretending to be a member of the team to train together.
"Listen to the accent, you're not from Tokyo, right?"
It was only after Yabe asked this sentence that Li Yuanrang remembered that he had felt that Mutsu's Japanese was a little strange from just now. But as a foreigner, it is difficult for him to judge the place of origin of the other party based on his accent.
"Aomori."
"Aomori doesn't have a strong baseball school in the area, and I guess I even reached the Koshien finals a few years ago. In addition, there are fewer participating schools there than in Tokyo. It's easier to qualify. ”
"It's not much less ...... than Tokyo"
Mutsu replied.
The Aomori Prefectural Games are usually 60 or 70 teams in the summer. It's a subtle number to say. Although it is less than the first-class war zones such as East and West Tokyo or Hyogo, Saitama and Kanagawa. But there are not many fewer rounds to be played.
Unlike Mie or Fukui, they can attract a lot of baseball students just by relying on the few participating schools. There are not a few players from Aomori who decide to study baseball abroad when they go to high school.
The mutsu in front of him is obviously one of them.
"I've been scouting for almost an afternoon, do you have any lessons?"
According to the schedule of the Peace School Baseball Club, more than half of the afternoon training time has passed.
"An afternoon? Isn't it just the beginning? ”
"Take a break, and then a few more sets of catching drills will be over today."
"In our school, I have to practice until eight o'clock at night. And you didn't have a morning exercise, I wanted to observe your morning exercise this morning, but it came to naught. ”
"There is a residential area next to the school, and the morning exercise will disturb everyone."
The area around the Peace School Park is a low-density residential area on the ground floor in terms of municipal planning. Most of the residents buy here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. As a result, there are more complaints about noise nuisance than residents in other places.
College baseball uses a metal bat, and the sound of hitting the ball is much louder than that of a wooden stick. Team members often have to remind each other loudly to ensure safety during training. As a result, it creates a lot of noise.
According to the tacit understanding reached between the school and the nearby residents. The athletic department of the School of Peace cannot conduct outdoor training before half past eight in the morning.
"If there's anything you want to know, just ask us. No need to sneak around. ”
Captain Ichihei Fukushima, who had been standing next to him, leaned over and stuffed a bottle of cold drink in his hand into Mutsu's hand.
"If I asked, would you give me the right answer?"
"Although there are things that can't be told to you. At least you'll have enough information to get back to your mission, and in exchange you'll have to promise us one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Let's talk about your baseball club......"
Fukushima does not intend to exchange for the other side. His plan was to leak some information that he could leak to the other party.
As for Mutsu Takefu, all he needs is to complete today's reconnaissance mission. A casual return of some information is enough to hand over to the overseer.
