CHAPTER XLVII
Sawamura, as a first-year student in the Second Army, stood in the center of the team, and through the gaps in the backs of his seniors, he could barely see the Kataoka supervisor in front of him, and Eijun was both expectant and afraid. Eventually, the voice of Superintendent Kataoka filled the quiet space.
"I am now announcing the list of players who will be promoted to the first army, according to the practice situation and my judgment, I have decided on the list, the five selected must understand the responsibility of being the representative of the school team, and the players who are not selected should assist the first army players in practice a month before the summer competition."
Inspector Kataoka's words caused the hearts of those present to start beating abnormally fast,
"The players who have been promoted to the first army are Takigawa Chris Yu in the third grade, Ichiro Sakai in the third grade, Masaki Kadoda in the third grade, Eijun Sawamura in the first grade, and Haruichi Kominato, who is also in the first grade, and above."
Whenever the overseer pronounced a person's name, the hearts of the people present were gloomy, and in the end, many of them had their names not read, and the third grade who had been promoted to the first army did not know how to feel, but the first-year Rong Chun and Kominato Haruichi were already shocked.
'Huh? I..... And what about the seniors? ’
Especially Rong Chun saw the seniors and others standing in front of him, their bodies shook slightly after hearing the words of the superintendent, to be honest, Rong Chun was a little overwhelmed now, although he had been looking forward to being promoted to the first army, but he had doubts about whether he could really do it, especially after training with the seniors of the second army, he found out how many strong people there were in Qingdao, and because of this, he doubted himself, can he do it?
"The first army plus these five people will be represented in the summer competition, in order to prepare for the practice later, they will be disbanded here today, and the third-year members who have not been selected will stay."
After the disbandment, the others withdrew from the training ground one after another, Rong Chun was stunned in place, looking at Rong Chun, who was wrong, holding the senior, kicked him from behind, and looked down at Rong Chun who was supported on the ground with his hands.
"Boy, why are you here in a daze, let's go."
After saying this, the Kuramochi seniors looked at the third-grade seniors in front of Rong Chun who did not look back, and when he heard the words of the Kuramochi senior, Rong Chun grabbed his two hands, slowly supported himself, and left the training ground silently, but he didn't go far, just leaned against the wall of the training ground, and heard the voice of Kataoka Supervisor from inside,
"Over the past two years, you've worked really hard," Inspector Kataoka looked over one by one, these were the children he had brought up, and now no one looked him in the eyes.
"After rigorous practice and fierce competition for starters, I believe you must have had a lot of pain and unwillingness," the overseer's voice gradually deepened, and then suddenly raised, "but you have never been discouraged, always follow me, listen to my guidance." ”
The superintendent put down the hands he had been holding behind his back and bent down and bowed deeply to the players who had taught him for three years.
"I hope you will continue to be my pride in the future."
Seeing the actions of the superintendent, hearing that the superintendent still called them proud, the seniors who had been holding back could no longer hold back, and let the tears wash their faces, unwilling, painful, and desperate, and the efforts of the past three years could only end in such a void
'Although I have been mentally prepared,'
'Even if you don't get drafted'
'We have no regrets'
But I'm still unwilling! '
This is the end of our summer. ’
The cries of the seniors were all transmitted to Rong Chun's ears, in his heart, his body trembled for a while, those hand calluses were worn out countless times, his hands were as hard as rocks, ignoring his eyes that were lost in dust, practicing running bases again and again, jumping again and again and laughing at the ball again and again, finally crying out loud today.
"As a member of the Qingdao Dao, you will also help the members of the First Army in the future."
"Hey, that's as it should be!"
Although the voice is still a little hoarse, the seniors' tone is still firm, our summer is over, but the summer of Qingdao will continue.
'Why, why is it only me...' Rong Chun gritted his teeth, his cheeks kept shaking, thinking back to today's results, it was all thanks to the support of these seniors, without them, he would not have been able to throw so wantonly, so easy, it was they who intercepted those balls that would have formed hits, thinking of this, Rong Chun's feet couldn't help but walk towards the door of the training ground,
"What are you going to do in there?"
Rong Chun looked back at the members of the First Army standing there at the vending machine,
"Do you want to give up being a first-class player?" Hearing this, Rong Chun put his head against the wall and was silent, to be honest, he didn't want to,
"No matter what others say, the coach has recognized your strength, enough to become the team's combat power, now you, what can you say to the members who have not been selected, there is only one thing we can do, that is, to work together with them to become stronger."
"Now... There's no way back," Miyuki, who was leaning against the wall, got up, "I can only move forward, not just me, but you too." ”
Looking at Rong Chun, who was crying silently against his head, the seniors stepped forward and rubbed his head vigorously, turned to leave, and the seniors who walked from here either touched their heads or patted their shoulders, comforting Rong Chun in their own way, and finally took the person back to the dormitory with half a hug and half a support, and the seniors in the third grade must not want the juniors to see their expressions after crying, even if they are relieved.
After returning to the dormitory, Rong Chun was still a little absent-minded, Masuko's seniors and Kuramochi seniors both knew how good Rong Chun's relationship with the Second Army was, but the seniors who should have said it had already been said, and the rest could only rely on him to go out on his own, and the snacks that were originally deliberately left behind, no one remembered them at this time, and Rong Chun also experienced the first sleepless night after coming to Qingdao.
Rong Chun in the dark stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, maybe it was the lack of vision, the other senses of the body were amplified, Rong Chun could clearly hear the beating sound of his heart, stable and stable, but as time passed, more and more restless, Rong Chun suddenly did it, his heart couldn't calm down, staying in bed would only make him more irritable, Rong Chun tiptoed out of bed.
"Where are you going?"
Kuramochi asked lightly with his arms pillowed, his eyes closed.
Rong Chun was taken aback by the senior who suddenly spoke up, and asked cautiously,
"Kuramori-senpai, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Aren't you either? It's really an unconscious child, as seniors, we will accompany you again. ”
Saying that, he got up with the seniors of the Zengzi in the bed next door, looked at Rong Chun and grinned, seeing such seniors, Rong Chun felt that his tear ducts were about to burst again, why are the seniors of his family always so good.
In this way, the three of them slowly walked to the playground, Rongchun and Kuramochi seniors chose to run, and Masako seniors practiced swinging sticks on the side. The cool breeze in the early morning swept across Rong Chun's cheeks, but it didn't soothe his anxiety, the speed was very slow at first, and then I didn't know who started to accelerate first, and finally ran faster and faster, but Rong Chun's front was always the back of the senior.
Rong Chun didn't know how long he had been running with Kuramochi seniors, but in the end he collapsed next to Masuko's seniors, and he had no meaningful strength in his body, and he felt his lungs explode during his breath, and his throat seemed to be tearing, and it seemed that he could still feel the smell of blood.
"You... You kid, stamina... Also.. That's great. ”
The situation of the seniors in Kuramochi is not much better, gasping for breath, Huaye said intermittently,
"Seniors are not too, they really deserve to be cheetahs, they can really run."
"Who's a cheetah, bastard."
In the end, the predecessors of Cangzhi still threw themselves on the ground like Rong Chun, and they didn't care about the dirty land under them.
"It's almost dawn, senior."
"Woo-ga, a new day is about to begin."
"Ah~ah, my body is so uncomfortable, I will definitely not be able to keep up with today's training, and I will definitely be scolded by the superintendent."
"Let's go back and eat pudding together after training today!"
"The morning sky is beautiful, senior."
"Hmm."
"Woo-hoo."
"Thank you."
"Don't talk nonsense."
