"I see." Kurosaki Kazutaka sighed when he heard this, revealing a hypocritical smirk: "After the practice match with other schools, if Tanba Senior still can't overcome the psychological barrier and become the instant combat power that the Seido Baseball Club can handle, then I will be able to get a chance to play?" ”

"But it shouldn't be very likely, after all, Supervisor Kataoka is too emotional......"

Chris's face began to turn gloomy when he heard this.

"Senior Chris, maybe in your eyes, Superintendent Kataoka is a principled and willful adult, but here I am a person who likes to be emotional."

Kurosaki Iktaka directly ignored Chris's getting worse and worse, and continued: "He values the will of the players more than ability and skill, and I don't mean it's bad, but Takano is a cold and cruel world, and if you want to lead the Seido Baseball Club to Koshien in such a fierce battle area as Tokyo, you shouldn't pursue the will of the players too much......"

"In fact, before I chose to study at Seido, I watched the semi-finals of the Tokyo Metropolitan Games last fall, that is, the game against the city juniors, Seido was considered to be the best in the country in terms of playing and defending at that time, but the shortcomings of the pitcher team are obvious, and the only pitchers who can compete with the same class or even the top teams are Jinguji and Yagami."

"At that time, I was surprised by the lack of pitchers in Qingdao, and at the same time, I had the illusion that I could win the selection with my strength."

"This is also the strangest thing about Qingdao as a first-class team, Qingdao High School is one of the strongest schools in Tokyo, and there are not a few players who choose to study in Tokyo schools every year, and the lack of pitchers cannot be seen only by me, so why don't there be any pitchers who choose to study in Qingdao in the past two years?"

ps: The protagonist Yagami can't be regarded as wanting to come to Qingdao to study.,The reason why he chose Qingdao is simply close to home.,If the school close to home is the city's three or Daocheng industry,,He will also choose to go to these two schools.。

"In today's Qingdao Road, the strongest pitcher turned out to be the Yagami senior who only transferred to Qingdao in the fall of last year, and the strength is slightly worse than the Yagami senior, but the only pitcher who can compete with the ace of the first-class and even the top team is the third-grade Jinguji senior, and the Sakai senior, who is also a third-year pitcher, can only say that the strength is okay."

Speaking of this, Kurosaki Kazutaka couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile to Senior Chris.

"Qingdao's lack of pitchers with strong strength is the responsibility of Kataoka's supervisor, he is too emotional!"

Chris frowned, looking at the dark-skinned young man with a sarcastic look on his face, he felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but retort: "Kurosaki, the superintendent may be a person who is more emotional than rational, but ——! At the same time, he is also a teacher who values the mental health of his members more than the skills and strength of baseball. ”

Superintendent Kataoka's brainwashing is really terrible! As soon as Kataoka supervised it was mentioned, the senior immediately became a stupid person with developed limbs and liked to be emotional, and he immediately became unhappy.

Forget it, take it soft first. Kurosaki Ichitaka nodded helplessly, "I know that Inspector Kataoka is a good person, an adult who deserves our trust and friendship. ”

Chris is not unable to see Kurosaki's perfunctory, but he has no way to resolve Kurosaki's paranoid view of supervision, so he can only sigh in helplessness.

"Senior, if you can, please try to ......give a reply as early as possible," Kurosaki Kazutaka paused before continuing: "Because my parents are already going through the transfer procedures, I can't wait for the supervisor to give a reply next month, and I must give a reply before the end of this month at the latest, otherwise it will ......"

Chris naturally knew the meaning of Kurosaki's unfinished words.

"Before the end of this month, Superintendent Kataoka's reply is that if he is willing to let me be promoted to the first army and play," Kurosaki Kazutaka said as he approached the senior, "Then I must have won it with my strength!" ”

Chris stared at Kurosaki, who was constantly approaching him, his dark face was full of seriousness and determination, and his mood suddenly became complicated for some reason.

"Even if I don't have an obsession with Pitcher Mound, it must be because my strength has been recognized by the superintendent."

Kurosaki Kazutaka stopped approaching the senior after saying what he wanted to say, and the serious expression on his face disappeared, turning into the smirk he always used to deceive others.

"If the superintendent doesn't give him an answer by the end of the month, or if he still doesn't want to let me play, then I have to cherish this time with my seniors and make a good memory."

May 19, 18 p.m.

On the first day after the end of the Spring Kanto Games, although Seichi lost to the three major players in the city and missed the victory of the Spring Kanto Games, not many of the baseball club members felt sad about the defeat of the game, and more regrets.

Yagami was a rare time before he came home, and as he walked on the way to the cafeteria and was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner, there was a steady stream of other people's admiration for yesterday's game.

"Yesterday's game was really exciting."

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

"The attack of the seniors in the eighth game gave me goosebumps, I was really excited!"

"Although I lost the game, if it wasn't for the unbalanced mentality of Tambo at the last moment and lost three points in a row, I am afraid that I will continue to play extra games."

"I think I have a lot of hope of making it to Koshien this summer, right?"

"Needless to say, we can do it!"

……

Saturday, May 20.

With a solemn face, Superintendent Kataoka stood in front of a group of members of the Seido Baseball Club and announced the training tasks of the First, Second, and Third Armies arranged today.

The members of the baseball club are arranged in several teams, with the players of the first army in the front, the players of the second army in the middle, and the players of the third army in the end.

Unlike Miyuki Kazuya, Kuraza Naoya, and Kimura Takuya, who entered the First Army and made a big splash at the Spring Kanto Conference, Kenjiro Hakushu, Yoichi Kuramochi, Kenta Maezono, Kenshi Kawakami, and Ichitaka Kurosaki, who had been in the First Army for nearly 20 days, had been doing running and other basic training with other first-year freshmen who were still in the Third Army, but today they were given the opportunity to participate in the garrison training of the Second Army.

After Superintendent Kataoka announced the disbandment, Yukiichi also took a look at Kenshi Kawakami, who looked very happy and excited, swept over Yoichi Kuramochi, who was hard to hide his joy next to Kenshi Kawakami, and set his eyes on Kurosaki Ichitaka who was lined up behind them.

Kurosaki's face was calm, and he could even tell from Kurosaki's unusually calm face that he was not interested in it.

This guy deserves to be the toughest pitcher he knows!
