With a month to go before the preliminaries, the players are tired to the limit, and it's time for a training camp. 'Supervisor Kataoka was running on the playground and planning his next move, when he heard a voice,

"Boom!"

"Huh?" It's the sound of baseball, who will it be so late.

"Ha~ha~" Rong Chun looked at the position of the home plate in front of him, panting, and there were still ten goals left for today's goal.

'The posture is good, the ball speed is okay, it seems that you are in good shape at the moment.' Superintendent Kataoka walked up behind Eijun and said.

"Ahh Brother Sunglasses.."

"Huh? #”

"No, I mean, I feel good, too. Hahahaha, it's okay to play at any time, so the boss ....."

"You're really energetic, you're still training so late." Superintendent Kataoka ignored Eijun's self-recommendation, "You have to rest your body, do you still want to rest for a week?" ”

"No need, my body is very good, and my training is not over-the-top, but today's task has not been completed, so let's make up for it." As soon as he heard that he was going to rest by himself again, Rong Chun hurriedly shook his head again and again.

"That's good, a pitcher who can't take care of his body, I won't let him go to the pitcher's mound. Even if you practice remediate, don't go too late at this late, just practice the pitching action, you should know how to do it. ”

"Well, I understand!"

"Speaking of which, your pitching posture is very special."

"Ah, my grandfather Tanaka over there helped me correct the action." Rong Chun took out the prepared towel from the bag on the side, dipped it in a little water, increased the weight of the towel, and then demonstrated his pitching posture to the coach while talking.

"Grandpa Tanaka said that the important thing is the hand with gloves, because I am a left thrower, so I use my right arm to make a wall, and the right foot that supports the weight movement goes out, and the wall made by the right hand can prevent energy loss, bend the upper body into a bow, accumulate energy to the limit, and finally release the energy brought by the lower body in one go...., just like this!"

"Smack!"

Rong Chun looked at the supervisor who was hit in the face by his towel with a panicked face, and the condensed eyes of the superintendent Kataoka were revealed under the crooked sunglasses,

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to! ”

"Sawamura ....."

"Yes!"

"Go back to sleep."

“......”

Rong Chun woke up the next day and was in a bad spirit, and he was cared for by Kuramochi seniors and Masuko seniors, but what did Rong Chun say.

During today's training, Chris's senior was borrowed by Deputy Minister Takashima, and Hang was still doing basic training, so Rong Chun had to practice air swinging in the corner of the training ground by himself.

"The wall of the right hand, the wall of the body." Rong Chun chattered and practiced at the same time.

"Phew!"

The senior of the field looked at the ball flying towards Eijun and shouted,

"The ball is over, Sawamura, be careful."

Rong Chun looked up and saw the baseball flying towards him quickly, and subconsciously jumped to the left and put the ball into his glove.

"Who hit the ball over here, I was shocked if I knew it."

Rong Chun held up the baseball angrily and said, and said indifferently in the valley of the strike zone,

"Sorry, is it too far?"

"It's you! Be careful, Valley. ”

Falling Valley ignored Rong Chun's shouting, but continued to strike. The seniors who were waiting on the side looked at the level of the blow of the valley and exclaimed,

"That flight distance just now is too."

"That guy even strikes monster-level."

The seniors of all of you who were stationed in the field were also talking about the valley,

"I can't stand it, but it's just a first-year freshman rookie who is so good at fighting."

"That's right, when we were in middle school, we were the ones who led the team, but I didn't expect that we couldn't even get a bench now."

"It's not just that," thought of those students of the same rank who were fighting in the ranks of the First Army, Masuko, who had been practicing wielding sticks, Kominato and Izawaki, who had been desperately guarding the band, and Tanba, who had never relaxed himself.

"Those monster-level guys actually work harder than anyone else, and that's the scariest thing."

"I really can't stand them. Everyone is a silly fight, but those of us don't want to leave regrets. ”

"Ah, even if you can't play, I want to fight with them until the last minute."

Under the clear blue sky, their posture was majestic and full of pride, but suddenly something came to mind,

"It should be said, how can I turn back after the matter is now."

"I don't want to think about what we've been here for three years."

"I haven't even had a girlfriend in the three years since I held it."

"Stupid, you're not allowed to mention this ....."*2

The thought of giving up so many good times just for baseball gave up their motivation for a moment.

"Oula, go ahead and call the first grader."

"If you can't get a girlfriend, at least you have to play well."

"Kula, second-year student, I said why don't you have a voice?"

The juniors, who were interrupted by the noisy voices coming from behind them, turned their heads to look at the seniors who were dancing around in the wilderness, and muttered,

"How did those seniors suddenly become motivated?"

Rong Chun, who was training alone on the side, was also attracted by this voice, looking at the seniors who were desperately shouting, and thinking of what Chris's predecessors said,

"The so-called pitcher has to carry everything including the pitcher who can't play to stand on the pitcher's mound. But it's not just you who is carrying it, it's us, so we have to go with their expectations. ”

Rong Chun's eyes became more and more resolute, and only by honing himself well could he make his predecessors not regret handing over the three years they had experienced to themselves without regrets.

"I have to get my teammates to identify with me to be a qualified pitcher."

"Sawamura, let's go, let's go for pitching practice."

"Here we are."

As the time for Hagar got closer and closer, the games gradually became fewer, and most of the schools began their own training to reduce the loss of information from the schools. Rong Chun also ushered in the last training opportunity of the Second Army. The opponent is Chris's predecessor's former opponent Caizen, Tanba seniors and Isashiki seniors told him some things about Caima, Caimae is probably a trump card in the traditional sense, strong and trusted by teammates. Once the former senior also invited Chris senior to the same high school, Rong Chun is more and more looking forward to the game with this person, Chris's predecessor's opponent and friend.

"Sawamura, you have to rest well today, tomorrow is the game."

"yes, I see."
