Chapter Eighty-Nine: Candidates for the First and Second Armies
On Court B, the red and white battle between the new and old students is over, and the second and third graders won the game with an absolute point difference, but for the audience outside the stadium, it is obviously the first year freshmen who are more topical, but unfortunately this is not what the new and old students want to pay attention to, because the Kataoka supervisor will announce the list of those who will be promoted to the first army after the game.
"Kimura, wake up......"
Takuya Kimura opened his sleepy eyes and found that he was asleep in the rest area, and there was a teenager of the same age as himself standing opposite, seeing that he had woken up, a friendly smile quickly appeared on his face, "Kimura, you're awake, let's go and gather quickly!" As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the court.
Takuya Kimura looked in the direction of the boy's finger, and there were only five people in the freshman's rest area, including himself, and everyone else was rushing towards the court.
On the court, Superintendent Kataoka and several referees stood in the center of the court, waiting for the teenagers who were rushing towards them.
"Kimura, the game is over!"
Takuya Kimura nodded, stood up, and was just about to go to the stadium to assemble, when the teenager's self-introduction suddenly sounded in his ears.
"My name is Mimura Kanta."
Takuya Kimura turned his head to look at the young man named "Mimura Yuta", and the other party smiled crookedly.
"Oh."
Mimura was stunned, and the dead fish-eyed boy in front of him walked directly past him with an expressionless face, and walked towards the court without looking back.
"Puff puff!"
Several sneers in a low voice came, and Mimura turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, only to see the only three remaining students of the same grade in the rest area hiding their faces and snickering, which made him embarrassed and clenched his fists secretly.
……
"Now, announce the players who have been promoted to the first and second armies!"
Superintendent Kataoka's voice was calm and loud, echoing over the court.
Many of the teenagers standing opposite Superintendent Kataoka unconsciously held their breath and waited for Superintendent Kataoka to announce the results.
"First of all, the players who have been promoted to the first army."
In addition to the existing members of the First Army, the rest of the Qingdao Baseball Club are eyeing these places.
Kurosaki stood at the end of the line with a calm face, ignoring the self-conscious scrutiny of Inspector Kataoka's words.
"Third-grader, Hiroshi Sakai; Second-year students, Koichiro Tanba, Toru Masuko, and Jun...... Izaki"
Jun Isashiki, who was standing in the middle of the second grade, was stunned when he heard Superintendent Kataoka call his name, and Ryosuke Kominato, who was standing next to him, and Keisuke Miyauchi patted him vigorously on the back, and he reacted, but Masuko Toru next to him still looked stupid.
"Yes...... Be! Jun Izashaki hurriedly responded.
"First-grader, Kazuya Miyuki, Naoya Kuroza......"
Everyone's eyes began to look around, some looked at Miyuki Kazuya with glasses in the middle of the line, some looked at Naoya Kuroza with short orange hair, and some looked at the end of the line......
"Takuya Kimura. The above is all the players who have been promoted to the first army, and the next ......"
This sentence directly detonated the emotions of many people.
How so? Isn't it possible to rise to the top of the army with Kurosaki's strength?
Even Takuya Kimura is inferior to him!
The atmosphere began to get strange, and even though no one was talking about it now, the doubts in everyone's minds grew as time went on, and many people turned their attention to Kurosaki Iphitaka, who was at the end of the line.
"Now, the announcement of the players who will be promoted to the second army will begin."
Surprisingly, the dark-skinned boy who was being watched by the others as if he was watching as if he was watching as if others were watching him, except for a hint of surprise when Inspector Kataoka announced that he had been promoted to the first army, quickly regained his composure.
"First grade, Kenjiro Hakushu, Yoichi Kuramochi, Kenta Maezono, Kenshi Kawakami...... Kurosaki was one high, and the above five people were promoted to the second army. Superintendent Kataoka called out several names one after another, and finally called out the dark-skinned boy at the end of the line.
"Yes." Kurosaki Ichitaka is unusually calm, so calm that he doesn't even have basic emotional ups and downs.
At this moment, the first-year freshmen were completely lively, and Superintendent Kataoka ignored the members who were whispering below, and continued, "The members of the First Army stay, and the others can be disbanded." ”
After the members of the Second and Third Armies had left in their respective discussions, the members of the First Army stood in two rows in front of Superintendent Kataoka, waiting for him to speak.
Kataoka put his hands behind his back, scanning the army in front of him, and finally paused on Takuya Kimura's body before retracting his gaze.
"There are still five days left in the Golden Week, Miss Takashima has contacted several schools for us to have friendly matches in these days, except for tomorrow at our school, the remaining four days will be out of school, you should prepare in advance."
"Yes!" Everyone in the army replied with high interest.
Superintendent Kataoka nodded and continued: "On this expedition, I will arrange for everyone to play, and don't relax just because he is a substitute. The captain stays, and the others can leave. ”
As the captain, Dong Kiyokuni left with Inspector Kataoka, and the second-year students in the first army stepped forward to ...... Masuko Well, the main thing is to congratulate Jun Izagiki.
"Annoying...... Sick of it! Jun Isashiki, who was teased until he blushed, waved away several of his peers around him and ran away alone.
After Superintendent Kataoka announced the disbandment of the team, Takuya Kimura walked alone to the dormitory, and in the process, someone greeted him from time to time, but unfortunately both the seniors of the second and third grades and the same students of the first year were ignored by him.
"Hey! Kimura, you ......."
"This kid, I'm a senior!"
“……”
Such a move caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and they couldn't help but start complaining.
Looking at the dark-skinned boy who returned to the dormitory alone, ready to leave, Naoya Kuroza, who went to find Kurosaki, was quite speechless about this, can't these pitchers behave a little more ordinary?
Miyukiichi, who was still in place, also approached Yagami's side and asked, "Senior Yagami, can I catch the ball for you tonight?" ”
As soon as Yukiichiya finished speaking, the surroundings seemed to become quiet.
Masuko Toru next to him seemed to want to say something about it, but Yagami next to him took the lead and said, "Okay, but I won't release water." ”。
Yukiichi was also full of confidence, and assured his senior, "I'll catch the baseball that the senior throws well." ”
"Okay, see you that night." Yagami waved his hand, turned his neck, and turned away from the court.
