After everyone accepted the information this time, Rong Chun was eating, and suddenly a sentence came out,

"Ah, I'll be able to play again this time!"

"Really, Sawamura, you are now in the second army, and you can really fight with the freshmen."

"I don't know why I think this competition must be so interesting."

"Me too...."

Rong Chun thought of the time when he participated in the red and white competition last year, and evoked a malicious smile.

"Looks like I can enjoy it this year!"

"Don't go overboard."

"Why, I'll be super gentle with them."

Rong Chun's conversation spread unhindered to the freshmen not far away, although he knew that Rong Chun was very powerful, but such a contemptuous feeling made those freshmen swell up one by one.

"Hang, will you see you at the old place tonight?"

Rong Chun propped his head and smiled and looked at the hunting field in the other direction,

He was stunned for a moment, and then said,

"OK, but don't overdo it, I've got your ball count on my side!"

"Understand, understand~~"

After making an appointment with Hunting Field Hang, Rong Chun left the cafeteria first and returned to the dormitory to prepare.

"Where is the old place?"

"It seems that it was a secret training base that Hunting Field and Sawamura found together at that time, but I haven't been there, so I don't know."

"Oh, it's a lot of fun, and the cooperation between the hunting ground and Sawamura is also good, so it looks like I'll be able to see a good match this time."

"Let's go watch the game that day!"

"Good idea."

After the specific time was set, the efforts of the new students became more and more diligent.

As before, their every move was under the observation of their predecessors.

Although I tried very hard,

"There's no communication, it's basically a small team, and it doesn't seem like there's a gathering."

"Only Sawamura can do such a thing."

"But that boy named Nine Ghosts is not bad, but he came too late, otherwise he would probably be like Sawamura."

"That kid is indeed very similar, I feel like a person with a good personality."

Just like Rong Chun and the others faced their predecessors before, the freshmen were also very nervous at the moment.

On the one hand, I want to show my skills, and on the other hand, I feel deep pressure on the strength of my predecessors.

Especially Rong Chun has often looked at them with a strange look in the past few days, which makes them particularly worried.

Time passed day by day, and the first competition of the freshmen officially kicked off.

Tojo and Kanemaru, who were about to go to the cafeteria, saw Kominato Haruichi, who was still practicing swinging his stick on the indoor training ground, and reminded,

"Xiaominato, if you don't eat, the cafeteria will be closed, and you will have to watch the game later!"

"yes, I see."

Although Kominato Haruichi said so, he turned his head and practiced swinging his stick seriously.

"Kominato's long fight practice?"

"Throw the ball in front of the body and something, and there are all kinds of balls in the supermarket. He said he wasn't strong enough, so he wanted to increase his swing speed. ”

"I think it's fine to just use a metal bat, but he probably won't agree to it.

His determination to master something is worth emulating. ”

"Well, that kind of thing happened especially during the expedition....."

Kanemaru and Tojo's voices were muffled, Seido's expedition competition did gain a lot, but it also made the players clear about their current strength.

"In the next expedition, Harushi Kominato, who lost the most, is very tormented compared to the current one."

"Wow, I'm so nervous...."

"The referee is the superintendent, do we have to be tested so closely?"

The first graders are getting more and more anxious when the competition is approaching, especially the momentum of the seniors on the opposite side is so scary.

"Let's go to the bathroom!"

"There are 20 members of the first team and 20 members of the second team who entered the bench.

We're still a supernumerary member of the second team, and if we want to officially join the second team, we will have more opportunities to play in practice matches.

Then there is the possibility of entering the first team, and now you have to enter the second team first. ”

Seto Takuma looked at his young tame seriously and said,

"yes."

While the two were chatting, Yohei the Nine Ghosts suddenly came out from behind,

"I've been looking forward to forming a shooting partner with you, Mitsushu Okumura.

Shoji and Yui have already entered the player bench with two first-year players, and we have a chance. ”

Nine Ghost Yohei smiled heartily, not at all like a starter who was about to face his predecessors, which made Asada who was not particularly good in psychological quality very envious,

"Wow, the nine ghosts are so powerful...., it's obviously the first time to participate in the competition in high school, and I'm not timid at all...."

And Okumura Mitsushu didn't respond to what Yohei Kuki said, but just said,

"It's better to pay attention to the opening pitch...., the players on this team who didn't make it to the bench also practiced their swings somewhere every day.

The speed of hitting the ball is not comparable to other teams, for them we are the most suitable target to show our quality. ”

"Sawamura, do you want to finish or press the formation."

Superintendent Kataoka asked, much to Eijun's surprise,

"Hey, can I have a choice?"

Superintendent Kataoka didn't answer him, just waited for Eijun's reply.

After thinking about it, Eijun chose to press the formation, and Superintendent Kataoka promulgated the starters without any expression.

Others are also a little confused,

"Why don't you choose to start first, Sawamura?"

"I think it's okay for you to start first, don't worry about us."

It was the pitcher seniors of the Second Army who spoke, and Rong Chun turned his head to look at them with a blank face,

"What? No, no, no, it's not because of everyone that I chose to press the formation.

The junior I wanted to see didn't go first, so I chose to go later. ”

"Junior? You don't mean Okumura, right? ”

Because of the quarrel between Rong Chun and Okumura, everyone thought that he wanted to give him a dismount at this time.

"Huh~~~, why do you have such a terrifying idea, I want to see the kid in our dormitory."

"I think my name is Asada, and he's a very shy person."

"But he's very tall, but he looks a little thin."

Rong Chun touched his nose and said a little proudly,

"My kids are so much fun to pitch."

"It's a surprise that Sawamura would say that."

"Take a good look at that kid's curveball, it's very interesting."

"Got it, by the way, do you all know the information about the first pitcher of the freshmen?"

The crowd, who had just finished making the deployment and was about to compete, reaffirmed the information in their minds.

After doing it again, the second army, which noticed that there was no problem, showed their fangs like freshmen.

The Red and White Match between the Second Army and the New Students officially began, and the Second Army attacked first, and the first-year starters were the juniors of Kanemaru and Tojo, Yohei Kuki.

"Phew!"

In the face of the first ball of Yohei Jiuki, the batter unceremoniously waved the bat, won the ball, and stood firmly on the first base.

Then he left the base bag sharply and put pressure on the nine ghosts Yohei on the base.

After throwing a few pinning shots, Yohei Jiu still couldn't control the distance between the first base runner and the base pack, so he could only choose to go head-to-head with the hitter.

At the moment when Yohei Kuki was about to pitch, the first base runner stole the base.

The second bat then lightly clicked, and the baseball rolled along the front, and after the catcher saw it, he reminded the nine ghosts who received the ball.

"First base!"

Although the nine ghosts thought that second base might be able to catch it, they still chose the catcher's request.

After receiving the baseball, I found that the hitters were almost there, and hurriedly passed it.

The baseball and the batter arrived at the base pack at about the same time, and the players couldn't tell who arrived first.

In such a situation, the referee said calmly,

“safe！”

"No, you can get on the base!"

The Nine Ghosts screamed, and then faced the next beater seriously.

'Another skit? At this time, I also put on a striking posture, so steady....'

The serious-looking batter with the bat in his hand made it impossible for the catcher or pitcher to perceive his thoughts.

'Then make sure to get a number of outs!' ’

Yohei Kuki thought about throwing the baseball out of the way, and then found that the hitter had switched positions while pitching.

"Phew!"

"In front of the left field...., the runner on second base rushed back to home plate!"

"Now it's the senior team that takes the lead, it's still second and third base, and then it's fourth..."

The freshmen looked worriedly at Yohei Jiuki, who had experienced consecutive hits and dropped a point as soon as they got on the court.

And at this time it was the four-stick guerrilla Takatsu Hirotomi.

'Damn, you must stop your opponent's attack!' ’

The somewhat anxious Nine Ghost Yohei made some mistakes in controlling the ball, and the catcher didn't block it well, and the ball was bounced off.

On the fourth goal after one good ball and two bad balls, Takatsu scooped up the low ball from below, right fielder and stalwart in the middle!

"Oh, Takatsu hit a well-timed two-point hitter from the fourth batter."

"The runner on second base is back on third home plate!"

"Go on, go on!"

"The fourth-best guy is pretty good, and he's been batting a lot lately."

Takatsu, who scored two points, received unanimous praise from the supervisor and the audience.

Standing on the base bag and taking the protective gear, Takatsu looked coldly at the nine ghosts Yohei on the pitcher's hill,

We've been waiting for our opportunity where the sun can't shine and we're never going to give up our place to the first grade. ’

The first army is also full of vigilance,

'This guy's swing is pretty good. ’

'Seido is so strong, even the players who didn't enter the bench are so strong...'

Yohei the Nine Demons on the pitcher's mound moved his shoulders and couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the beater who seemed to be expanding in his eyes.

And Asada Haofumi, who was about to warm up on the side, was nervous and scared when he saw this scene,

'Wow, wow, ah....., the seniors are really moving.... Can I really pitch on the field? ’

"It's fine."

Seeing through Asada at this moment, Mitsushu Okumura said calmly,

"I'll warm up with you, what will you throw?"

After the end of the first game, Yohei Kuki barely managed to control the loss of points at 6 points, which made all the first graders breathe a sigh of relief, but when they saw the numbers on the scoreboard, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Then it was the turn of the freshmen to attack, and I don't know if it was because the defense just now cost them too much experience, causing them to end the first game without even touching the baseball.

After the storm of the first game, the freshmen barely adapted to the offensive of their predecessors in the second game, but the loss of points was still not avoided.

Coupled with the pressure of the seniors, there were also a few mistakes. Everyone looked ahead, didn't care about wiping the sweat on their faces, panting,

'This is a team at the national level....'

"Two out! Deal with him! Please, everyone when the ball flies out! ”

The sound from the pitcher's mound stunned everyone for a moment, and seeing the somewhat embarrassed but still bright smiling face, the freshmen on guard couldn't help but echo,

"Oh.... him! ”

"Let him call!"

Takuma Seto, who was in the rest area, also loudly cheered for the people on the field,

"Concentrate on the batter! The infield players stand closer! ”

Asada, who is also a pitcher, also shouted hard,

"The two are out, come on, nine ghosts!"

Overseer Ochiai saw this and Minister Ota said,

"He's not discouraged...."

"yes, there was a mistake and I lost eight points in two games.... It must be quite mentally tormented. ”

At this time, it was the turn of the beater to hunt the field, and he looked at the people on the field with a sense of familiarity.

'It feels like this.... It's a lot like Sawamura... Don't show a painful expression on the pitcher's mound. ’

"Whew... Phew....."

'That Tojo-senpai didn't play as a pitcher, but as a guard in the outfield....

I've long known how high the level of Qingdao is, but I can't get into the player seat if I'm so strong, how strong the official team members have to be!

However, the team that aims to reach the top of the country must have this kind of strength.

In this way, the value of the challenge ---'

Seeing Yohei Kuki's pitching action, he thought about the information he had exchanged before,

In terms of the tendency of the head partner, the probability of throwing the ball after two straight balls in a row will be higher. ’

Guessing the path of the ball of the Nine Ghosts, Hangba Hang did not hesitate to swing the bat, but the curved trajectory of the baseball was even bigger than expected.

The ball was in the direction of first base, and even though Kajiba ran hard, the first baseman still stepped on the base bag directly after receiving the baseball, and the three of them were out of the game to exchange offense and defense.

The old OBs who came to watch the game were very pleased to see this scene,

"Oh~~. I only scored 2 points in this game. ”

"The speed of filling is also very fast, and it is gradually getting better."

The Ochiai superintendent also expressed his opinion,

"Good spirits, if only I could use that slide effectively..."

Speaking of this, Minister Ota hurriedly explained,

"He was late to the team because of a broken bone, so I'm looking forward to growing up in the future."

After returning to the rest area, the freshmen praised the players on the field, focusing on the nine ghosts and Yohei,

"That's a good slide just now!"

"But I was hit, and the seniors were really powerful."

On the other hand, because they had already been promoted to the first army, Yui and Yusei Shoji, who were unable to participate in the game, were also paying attention to the game, and such a scene made them unable to suppress their desire to play.

Under the outstanding performance of the juniors, Kawashima, the starting pitcher of the Second Army, also showed his own spirit. roared and shook the two juniors.
