"Oh~~ I hit Tojo's ball so easily."

"Good job."

"This year's first-year students met us very early.

At that time, we were doing basic training in the spring competition. ”

"Only Shibuya-kun participated in the Kanto Tournament."

Rong Chun, Kominato Haruichi, and Descending Valley looked at the juniors who performed well, and they had an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"It shows that this year's first-year freshmen are all strong players."

"Speaking of which, Tsuiya, that Yui is from your dormitory."

"Well, it's a catcher....."

"How do you feel, you've got to get in touch together!"

Rong Chun asked with some curiosity, that's a freshman catcher, I heard that he is still the captain of the World Series, and his strength should be very good.

Rong Chun thought so, but it was completely different from the feeling of falling valley.

"Can't catch it...."

"Huh!?"

"Yui can't catch my full thrust, so I feel like I might as well train with Ono-senpai."

In the equation of the valley, his most wanted partner is Miyuki, then Ono, and then Kajiba.

"Smack!"

Rong Chun stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the head of the valley, and the valley looked at Rong Chun with grievances in his eyes,

"You, who do you think Yui is, he's just a freshman, it's normal to not be able to catch your pitch."

"But...."

"I see what you mean, it feels unpleasant to work with such a newbie, right?"

Descending valley nodded obediently, and Rong Chun also knew the state of descending valley.

It was not until he realized that baseball was a nine-man sport, and at this moment he had no concept of being a senior.

"We were too, didn't Miyuki-senpai say that we were both lame.

But even if we were lame at that time, Miyuki Senpai was still willing to take our pitches.

There are other seniors, and your garrison is also helped by the seniors step by step. ”

Rong Chun's eyes were a little more tolerant, and then he raised a bright smile,

"Now it's our turn to help the younger generations grow up, don't you feel very excited?"

Although at this time, he still didn't know what to do, but he remembered this sentence.

Those predecessors who taught him a lot, the valley remembers it very well.

He understands that he is not good at words, but since Rong Chun said that he wants to help the younger generation grow, then he will definitely be able to do it.

Like all the players, the freshmen are looking for a balance between their studies and training.

"Sawamura-senpai...."

Rong Chun was walking to the classroom with the bread he had snatched from the commissary when he heard someone shouting out to him behind him.

"Ah, it's the general, what are you doing here, you should have brought a bento!"

The commander nodded, and raised the lunch box in his hand,

"I brought it, I'm here to find you, senior Sawamura."

"Looking for me?"

Rong Chun tore open the bread package, and while eating, he and Yuki Shoji walked in the direction of their own class.

"Yes, I want to ask, when will Sawamura-senpai have time, I want to have another throwing duel with my senior."

Ever since the last time Yuuki Shoji was easily eliminated by Rong Chun, I've been thinking about doing it again.

"Usually, I haven't had a chance to talk to Sawamura-senpai.

I heard from my brother that Sawamura-senpai often went to my brother's class during his lunch break.

So I'm also taking advantage of my lunch break to ask you. ”

Rong Chun listened to Yuuki Shoji's request in silence, opened the door of his class, and let Yusei Shoji do his position.

"I don't have any problems, I'm just going to be feeding the players for a few days, you can come to me then.

But ah, Shoji, is it okay? If I get a few more strikeouts.

If you are in Kataoka, your rating may be lowered, which will affect your future matches. ”

Rong Chun didn't have any requirements for the beater in front of him, even if it was a first-year freshman to fight, it didn't matter.

But now Director Kataoka obviously wants to see the performance of these freshmen, and if he disqualifies Shoji from the competition for his own reasons, he will really be sorry for his seniors.

"It doesn't matter, if even Sawamura-senpai can't admit my strength, then I don't think I'll be able to stand in the official competition."

The plain words of the formation of the general made Rong Chun stunned for a moment, and then laughed embarrassedly.

"I was wrong."

“？？？”

Looking at Yuki Shoji's somewhat puzzled expression, Rong Chun waved his hand and said,

"It's nothing, but you need to be mentally prepared.

Although I am a feeder, I never restrain my strength, I always give it my all. ”

Rong Chun's smile was a little ill-intentioned, and when Yuki Shoji heard this, his momentum suddenly came out,

"I'll do it!"

"Hahaha, then come on!"

"Ale? Form? ”

Kanemaru, who came back after eating with Shizuya, was a little strange to see the person who didn't belong in his classroom.

"Kanemaru, Shoji came to play with me~~"

"Oh, that's it, speaking of which, Sawamura you've seen it before?"

"Well, I met it when I ate barbecue before, and after chatting for a while, Shoji is a good boy."

"Oh . . . Oh, that's pretty good. ”

Kanemaru looked at the junior who was even more burly than himself, and his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see that he looked like a good boy at all.

"By the way, I'm going to be a feeder in the afternoon training, and the shoji said he wants to play and see my pitch, do you want to come along."

After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being a batting practice feeder, and nodded his wish.

"Yo Xi! Shoji can try the pitching of the two of us today, because I have a different style from Shizukuya, so it should be fun. ”

"Okay!"

After this matter was settled, Rong Chun talked to the general about the baseball club, the characteristics of the seniors, hobbies, and so on.

Although he didn't understand why Rong Chun said this, it was obvious that he was also out of kindness, so he silently said it and wrote it down.

When the commander returned to his class, Yui Xun asked a little strangely,

"Yucheng-kun, where have you been?"

"Make an appointment with Sawamura-senpai to practice."

"Hey~~, do you know Sawamura-senpai? I mean..."

"Well, I met because of my brother."

"In this way, can I watch the match between you and Sawamura-senpai?

I'm a catcher, and I've been curious about Sawamura-senpai's pitching for a long time. ”

"It's okay, Sawamura-senpai said he was going to be a ball feeder, if you want, you can go and have a look."

Yui was taken aback by the words of the Shoji,

'Ace as a feeder?' It would be a waste, but that's why we freshmen can see his pitching.

Anyway, is it because Yusa is the younger brother of the former captain, and in order to make Yusei's own pitching, Sawamura-senpai did this on purpose? ’

Yui was distracted during class, and he was faintly looking forward to the arrival of afternoon training.

When Rong Chunzhen came to the batting shed wearing the equipment of the ball feeder, Yui still didn't recover a little.

"Yo Xi, Shoji, you don't want to hit my pitch, then you will be the first hitter!"

Standing on the small mound, Rong Chun smiled with an arrogant face, and in comparison, Yuki Shoji became much more stable.

"Please take care of me!"

The commander pinched the brim of his hat and saluted, and then got ready.

"Boom~~~"

The swing of the stick of the general's division even lifted the dust on the ground.

But no matter how handsome and powerful this swing is, it still hasn't hit.

Shoji Yusei compared this goal to the last game.

There is no doubt that this one is more advantageous and more difficult to capture.

"I'm going to continue~~"

After Rong Chun said this, his next ball flew over.

"Boom~~"

"Okay, the two waves are empty, what are you going to do next, Shoji~~"

Shoji Yusei looked at the pitcher who was smiling, but he didn't feel the slightest smile.

Is this what he looks like when he's serious? ’

"Boom~~"

"Okay~~ Strike out in the air, the hitter is out! This is the end of your first seat. ”

"Yes, please continue, Sawamura-senpai."

Rong Chun looked at the young man who was struck by himself, but there was no fluctuation, Rong Chun became more and more satisfied.

At the time of the second hit, the leader finally hit a goal, and then,

"It's a stalwarts flying ball on the way to watch the ball..."

"Please take care of me!!"

After a few more hits, Yuki Shoji hit all of them, but those balls obviously didn't believe it.

When the formation of the general wanted to continue, Rong Chun took the first step to call a halt.

"Shoji, your seat is over, it's time to change."

Only then did he realize that he had occupied this batting booth for a long time, and there were so many baseballs in the net that they rolled to his feet.

After leaving that position, the manager hurriedly picked up all the baseballs over there, packed them up, and waited for the next hitter.

"Sawamura, I'm next, please take care of me!"

Kanemaru came in with a bat and yelled at Eijun.

"Oh, Kanemaru, do you want to limit the straight ball?"

"Then please!"

Shoji Yusaki, who was queuing up at the batting shed in the valley, saw that the senior named Kanemaru accurately hit the straight ball that had caused him to fail many times just now.

Although not every ball was played well, most of the ball was very good, and with Yuuki Shoji almost zero points, this performance can be said to be very good.

"I'm a little surprised..."

Tojo, who was behind him, said suddenly, and Yuuki Shoji set his eyes on him.

"Although Shinji doesn't look as strong as you, and he doesn't have as much momentum as you when he swings a bat, he's still very good at playing straight balls."

After saying that, Tojo watched the last beater leave, and said to the Yusei Shoji,

"Do you want to experience pitching in the valley?"

"But isn't it your turn to be senior?"

"Haha, it's okay, I've played it many times, you can feel the difference between these two guys."

At Tojo's recommendation, Yusei stood in the battering shed of the valley.

'Ordinary posture, is a pitcher of the original school, the ball speed is very fast, probably this ball will be about 155.... Well!? ’

The general subconsciously waved the bat, but it didn't hit. 、

As more and more people practiced their strikes, Ono glanced at Yui Fumi, who was silently swinging his baton on the side.

"Why don't you go and give it a try? You haven't seen Sawamura and Shibuyani's pitches from that angle. ”

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter who the beater is in the case of the valley, the more beaters in Sawamura's words, the happier he is.

Let's experience it today, and you don't have to think about it.

Sawamura still likes to be a feeder, and you'll see him a lot in the batting shed, and there are plenty of opportunities after that. ”

"Yes."

'Not for the purpose of striking .... Ono-senpai didn't seem to expect anything from my blow at all'

With this question, Yui Xun stood on the strike zone and said respectfully to Rong Chun,

"Please, Sawamura-senpai."

"Oh~~ Yui, your blow is very good."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Sawamura-senpai looks really easy to get along with. I don't know what kind of pitch I'm going to throw...'

Just when Yui Xun was a little nervous and excited, Rong Chun, who felt that he had finished greeting his juniors, smashed towards his juniors without hesitation.

Yui Xun hadn't touched the big heart of Shoji yet, and he felt the baseball that seemed to be about to smash over, and took a step back slightly.

'It's different, this Sawamura-senpai senpai's pitching is too different.

I thought it was going to be a bad ball, but if you look closely, it should have come in with a corner.

Sawamura-senpai's pitching is distinctly different from Shibuyani's aggressiveness.

Although it feels like an active attack, it's so detailed. ’

Just a few balls later, the teenager felt a part of Rong Chun's pitching.

After that, after all the first-year students tried to play the pitches of Eijun and Shizutani, the two were forced to take a break by Miyuki.

"It's the time of the tournament, so please be a little conscious!"

Originally, he was relatively easy to discipline, and I don't know if it was under the influence of Rong Chun that he developed more and more into a training maniac.

If it's normal time, Miyuki is very happy, but the day after tomorrow will be a game.

These two people have turned so many hitters, not to mention that one person has also thrown hundreds of balls, plus the bullshed pitching in the morning, the number of balls of these two people has already exceeded the number of balls.

"The two of you are going to run with the first-graders, don't you have no place to vent your energy, just set an example for the juniors!"

Enraged, Miyuki threw the two into the ranks of the freshmen.

For these two seniors who suddenly appeared, the freshmen were a little curious and a little timid.

One of the two is the ace in the team, and the other is the main pitcher who usually doesn't smile, either of them is enough for them to care.

At first, Rong Chun and Falling Valley were still a little uncomfortable among the freshmen, and it didn't take long for Rong Chun to rub over to the juniors in his dormitory.

"How about Asada, are you still used to basic training?"

Asada, who was a little out of breath when he was running, stumbled and replied,

"Whew... Call... Still... It's OK... Whew..."

"That's good, after all, this is just the basics, and it will be a little harder when it comes to formal training later."

"It's... Is that so? ”

"That's right, I'll tell you......."
