"Well, you're the injured freshman."

"Yes."

"Wait, Miyuki-senpai, do you know him?"

Rong Chun looked at the culture of the two people and sensed that something was wrong.

"I know, anyway, I'm also the captain, not only me, but Kuramochi and Maezono should also know."

"Oh, that's right."

"Speaking of which, how is your body recovering, and can you participate in training normally?"

Miyuki asked Yohei the Nine Demons,

"Yes, because it's recovered, it's fine."

"That's good...., by the way, Sawamura, have you finished visiting?"

"Well, it should all be over."

Rong Chun recalled the place where the two of them had walked and felt that there was no problem.

"Then you guys go back to rest first, he still has to participate in training tomorrow, he only came here today, and the things probably haven't been sorted out, so don't drag the freshmen to run blind!"

"I won't!!"

Rong Chun angrily dragged the Nine Ghosts Yohei out of the training ground, I don't know if the Nine Ghosts Yohei was used to it, and he didn't have any resistance to Rong Chun's posture.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow for training, Sawamura-senpai."

"Well, good night."

When Rong Chun returned to the dormitory, he found that Asada Haofu was already lying on the bed, and he moved lightly to the desk.

Lowered the lamp and turned it on, took the notebook and began to review his homework, there were no training days, and the only thing that could accompany him was studying.

Hirofumi Asada who was lying on the bed did not fall asleep, it is better to say that he has not slept well during the time he came to Qingdao.

He tilted his head and looked at Rong Chun's back through the gap in the guardrail handrail, which was not as lively as Rong Chun in the daytime, which made Asada Haowen a little uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, it seems that every time he goes to bed, the seniors' movements are very light, and if he really falls asleep, he probably won't feel it.

Kuramochi-senpai and Sawamura-senpai don't seem to be as terrifying as they imagined. ’

And Rong Chun, who was already immersed in learning, couldn't feel the inquiring gaze coming from behind him.

Rong Chun, who has been resting for almost four days, is finally allowed to do some basic training that is not out of line, such as running with the first-graders.

After the two people left the team of freshmen, Shoji and Yui, the freshmen ushered in a normal rhythm of running.

But when Rong Chun mixed in, in the first lap, Rong Chun was still at the head of the line and slowly led the team.

Then after two laps, Rong Chun's pace accelerated little by little, and Rong Chun's acceleration was not obvious, so the new army that had been closely following Rong Chun also changed the rhythm of the past.

At first, they didn't react, but then when they felt that their breathing was more difficult than ever, they felt,

"Ze . . . Sawamura-senpai, isn't this speed a little wrong!"

The freshman next to Rong Chun asked suspiciously, Rong Chun said with a smile,

"There's nothing wrong with that, Xiyuan, it's just a little bit faster than usual."

The freshman who heard it almost stumbled and fell,

Don't laugh and say such a horrible thing! ’

The freshmen suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong with their seniors, could it be cut black?

At this rate, the freshmen will definitely not be able to complete the training set by Kataoka's supervision.

"I'm sorry, Sawamura-senpai, can we slow down the speed?"

The freshman tried to discuss with Rong Chun, and Rong Chun asked with a puzzled look,

"What's wrong, Honda?"

"If this speed continues, everyone may not be able to hold it!"

"Well, I'm sorry, I've slowed down as much as I can, I thought you'd get used to it after so long training.

This speed is a little slow for me, but after all, I am still in the recovery period and cannot exercise so vigorously. ”

Rong Chun's words pierced the hearts of the freshmen like knives, and it seemed that Rong Chun said,

'Why are you so weak, you can't even compare to me in this recovery period.' ’

At this time, Rong Chun also had to say thoughtfully,

"Then let's slow down, after all, we have to base ourselves on everyone's strength."

Rong Chun said this, but it aroused the idea of the freshmen not admitting defeat,

"No, we can keep up!"

Rong Chun looked at the juniors who expressed his position with some surprise and relief, but he was still a little worried.

"Really? It doesn't matter if we slow down a little bit, we don't have to practice other sports anyway. ”

"No, we can!"

Rong Chun's persuasion made the freshmen more and more excited, and they all began to respond,

"Well, don't be too reluctant, you're still adapting..."

"Yes!"

However, Rong Chun's gentle appearance of considering the freshmen makes everyone feel that this senior is really gentle and amiable, not white and black.

After discussing with the freshmen, Rong Chun firmly occupied the leading position, and Rong Chun, who had no one around, stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"Sawamura, the speed of the freshmen is good today."

Miyuki looked at the time, and then at the freshmen,

"It just looks a little embarrassed."

"Sort of, there's room for further improvement."

"It seems that with your help, the freshmen will soon be able to finish their basic training."

"All right!"

Because Rong Chun and Yu Xing were far away from the freshmen, they didn't hear anything said.

It's just that looking at the seniors who have also run so many laps and always led the way with a relaxed look, everyone feels a little incredible.

'It's just a year apart, is the difference so big?' ’

And the nine ghosts Yanghei, who participated in the training on the first day, although his own strength is good, he is also a little unbearable.

He suddenly thought of the content of the chat with his young club seniors yesterday.

"What are you doing?"

"Oops, I got injured after playing soccer during spring break."

"Football?"

"I didn't expect to break a bone, it's really a shame."

Kanemaru looked at his juniors and hated iron and steel, although he was a little frizzy when he was a little stick before, but he didn't expect to get himself directly to the hospital this time.

Tojo asked with a smile,

"So it's okay now, right?"

"The foot is fine, but it's a little difficult to catch up with the lagging part, thank you..."

Yohei Kuki took the drink that Kanemaru handed him, and continued,

"The amount of food required here is really amazing."

Kanemaru and Tojo seemed to think of the time when they first entered the school,

"I was also in pain at first."

"It takes a lot of time to eat two bowls of rice now."

"But I'm still in a hurry, and the students of the same level who started training normally can basically adapt to the training.

And students of the same level can participate in official competitions, so I really don't want to be left behind by them. ”

The Nine Ghosts said with a bright smile,

"What's more, both of you are official members of the Qingdao Path, and you are doing so well, which excites me the most."

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and it seemed as if a flame was burning inside,

"I'd love to get to you soon."

"Then you're going to have to come on, but it's very difficult to get a place on the pitcher lineup right now."

Tojo is very happy that his shop juniors are so self-motivated, but he still has to make it clear to him, after all, the current Seido is not what they were when they first entered the school.

"Yes, I know, I've realized it since I knew that Tojo-senpai didn't make it to pitcher. But that Tojo-senpai can I ask? ”

Nine Ghost Yohei still didn't control his curiosity, and asked his senior,

"That Sawamura senior is a trump card, why didn't you participate in training at this time, is it injured?"

It was then that the two of them remembered that Yohei Kuki had only come the night after the Kataoka Supervisor's meeting.

"It's no secret anymore, everyone in the baseball club knows that there are no injuries, it's just overtraining, which causes growing pains."

"Growing pains?"

The nine ghosts muttered about this noun that was a little distant to him, and Kanemaru laughed unceremoniously,

"It's weird, that guy, even at his age, still grows pain."

"It's a little weird, indeed."

Tojo echoed and said,

"Hehe, Sawamura did surprise us this time, but, Yohei, all I can tell you is that this is the kind of person who became the ace of Seido.

Although it seems a little unreliable, he is the most powerful one among us, and his physical fitness is considered to be the top in our class, and even the physical strength of our predecessors may not be as good as his.

But that's the kind of person who also trains himself to the point where his muscles get tired and cause growing pains, although you may look down on me.

I'm incredibly relieved when I'm behind him and I'm looking forward to every time he plays. He would even be very worried when he went to the hospital. ”

Tojo's gaze was very gentle when he looked at the nine ghosts, as if he was looking at him, and it seemed like he was looking at another person through him.

What kind of pitcher is it to make a former ace pitcher willing and expectant. ’

Nine Ghost Yohei thought so that night, and then in the following days he also saw Rong Chun's unreliable appearance.

But as Tojo said, when everyone was tired and panting, he was the only one who barely stood with his hands on his thighs, as he had at the beginning.

Except for the sweat left on the forehead, which really went through some movement, the others did not change.

Is this Sawamura-senpai's recovery training? It's a little hardcore....'

The Nine Ghosts looked at the figure with a wry smile, and suddenly Rong Chun looked at him and waved at him with a smile.

The time is also getting closer and closer to April 12th, and the match with the third year of the city university is approaching, but Kataoka supervisor has been delaying Eijun to return to normal training.

In the end, Eijun, who couldn't bear it, blocked the door of Kataoka's office two days before the game.

To be honest, Rong Chun, who was full of anger and braved the unknown momentum, squatted in a dark place in front of the door of the supervision room, and even Inspector Kataoka couldn't help but receive some fright.

Superintendent Kataoka was extremely glad that he had a good habit of wearing sunglasses even at night, so that no one could notice that he was stunned just now.

“....”

"Mummmm..."

"Sawamura, what the hell are you trying to do here?"

"Boss, I think I'm back to training!"

"You still need to take a break..."

"But I've been off for a week, and I have two days to go before I play with the city juniors, so I can go to training."

Eijun looked at Superintendent Kataoka with burning eyes, trying to make him understand his urgent heart.

Superintendent Kataoka did understand, too, but,

"Rejected."

Superintendent Kataoka crossed his arms and said in a deep voice,

"Why!"

"You haven't fully recovered, Sawamura, I don't want your baseball career to be only in high school, didn't you make an appointment with Chris? Are you going to break your promise? Did you really bear the consequences? ”

Superintendent Kataoka's three consecutive questions succeeded in quieting down Rong Chun, but his heart was still unconvinced.

Looking down at Kataoka's leather shoes, his fists clenched tightly, promising to live the future on the one hand, and the current game on the other.

Eijun actually made an easy decision, but he knew that he couldn't tell Superintendent Kataoka, because it would only backfire.

"The last day..."

Hearing this, Rong Chun looked up at Superintendent Kataoka sharply,

"Your words, the afternoon of the last day is enough for you to adjust your state, and in the face of the full strength of the three high schools of the city, Qingdao's trump card will not be retained.

So before that you take care of your body and then face them in a state of perfection. ”

Inspector Kataoka's words hit Eijun like a shot in the arm, and his heart was at a loss and dispelled.

'I'm the ace of Seongdo, so I'm going to face the game in the best shape no matter what, and then bring victory to everyone!' ’

With such a thought, Rong Chun passed the past two days peacefully, which made everyone in the baseball club not very accustomed to it.

"I feel like Sawamura-senpai, I'm a little unaccustomed to not hiding in the corner and reciting spells."

"yes, it's been just running with us lately, and I'm not trying to practice or anything."

"Sawamura-senpai shouldn't be brewing a bigger conspiracy!"

"No, it won't!"

The freshmen's guesses were quickly answered, and the equally curious third-graders could naturally ask directly.

"Sawamura, you've been a lot quieter lately, why don't you train noisily."

"Because I'm the ace!"

"Huh?"

Kuramochi looked at Rong Chun's expression of unknown meaning, his eyes were blank, but his face was flushed.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, your expression is disgusting..."

"What are you talking about, Kuramochi-senpai, I'm normal..."

"Uh, Sawamura, change your expression back, change back, you look like this is unbearable."

However, in the end, Rong Chun couldn't take back his expression, poisoning a large number of baseball boys.

Rong Chun, who was immersed in his good mood, didn't notice that his seniors and his friends were avoiding him, and only the first-grade children were still normal.

"Sawamura-senpai looks so cute....'

The freshmen had a strange idea in their minds, but unfortunately no one among the seniors who were busy training could correct them, causing the hopes for the future to seem to be crooked.
