Chapter 123: Candidates and Sports Festivals
After Takuya Kimura was sent to the Second Army under Kataoka's supervision, he was not re-promoted to the First Army, resulting in the last place left in the First Army. After all, Takuya Kimura's current strength is about the same as that of Yu Sakai, and in such a situation, Superintendent Kataoka will naturally prefer Yu Sakai, who only has the last summer left; If he wants to bring people up from the Second Army, he can only choose to send Kimura to the Second Army.
As soon as Superintendent Kataoka finished speaking, some small noises came out of the group, but they quickly stopped and fell silent again.
Sweeping his gaze over the group of teenagers in front of him, Superintendent Kataoka said calmly: "After my observation and careful consideration during this period of time, I decided to put this player in the army, which is a decision I made as the supervisor of the baseball club, and there is absolutely no personal factor in it. ”
"Takigawa Chris Yuu, I've decided to put him in the army."
At this moment, most of the people were a little surprised, but because Superintendent Kataoka and Minister Ota were still here and did not leave, the people of Qingdao just looked at each other and did not talk about it.
When Yagami heard the name, he clenched his hands and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Yu Yuichi also wanted to go back to the second army to take a look at Chris's senior, but in the end he held back, but the battle intent burning in his eyes showed his mood at this time.
As the person who was promoted to the army by Superintendent Kataoka, Chris obviously didn't expect it to be himself at all, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something? Ichiro Sakai and Keisuke Miyauchi, who were standing beside him, reached out and patted him on the back, congratulating him on returning to the First Army.
Ignoring the reactions of the Qingdao people, Superintendent Kataoka continued to say in a deep voice, "The members of the First Army must always remember their responsibilities and do their best to win. Those who have not been selected for the first army should be well assisted in the training of the members of the first army in the last two weeks. ”
"In the end, the third-graders who weren't selected for the first army stayed, and the others were disbanded."
The Seido crowd left the indoor training ground in twos and threes, and Chris stood in place, as if he wanted to go up and say something to Superintendent Kataoka, but was forcibly pulled away by Yagami Yagami.
"What are you going to say to the overseer? Don't want a place in the army? After leaving the indoor training ground, when he walked to the path where no one was around, Yagami Yagami let go of Chris's hand and asked.
"I've just come out of rehab and I'm ready to start training again, but I've had a good seven months of rest," Chris said, stroking his right shoulder with his hand, "How can I keep up with your training intensity and pace now?" I can't play my role as a catcher when I go to the field......"
"The superintendent said that he made the decision as the superintendent of the baseball club, so he thinks that among all the members of the Second Army, even if you have just recovered from injury, you can be promoted to the First Army with your strength." Yagami's tone became heavier and heavier, and he said seriously, "Tsukikawa, do you want to veto the decision of the overseer?" ”
"I ......" Chris still struggled with this.
"How can there be so much hesitation, since the superintendent has chosen you, shouldn't you behave well in the future to prove that the superintendent's decision is correct! Isn't it? A few of the other second-year students in the First Army came over at some point, and Jun Izashaki said loudly to Chris.
"Chris, even if you can't play in the next games, there must be something you can play." This is what Tetsuya Yuuki said.
Chris found that no one was dissatisfied with his promotion to the first army, and looked at Yagami with clenched hands and said, "I know, I will work hard next, and I will ask you for more advice in the future!" ”
"Everyone's goal is the same, right?" Yagami Yagami stretched out his right hand and took the lead in shouting, "Koshien! ”
"Target Koshien!" Jun Izaki followed up with his right hand and covered it.
"Target Koshien!"
Tetsuya Yuuki, Chris, and Toru Masuko also stretched out their right hands one after another, overlapping each other and shouting.
……
At the same time, there were those who understood Kataoka's decision, and naturally there were also those who felt incomprehensible to Kataoka's decision, and there were many discussions about it.
"Why him? Since the beginning of school, I haven't played yet, even if it's Sakai (Ichiro) senior or Kominato senior, I feel more convinced! Not to mention Kimura, which was originally an army. A first-year freshman from the Third Army vented his frustration with his classmates while walking.
"Who knows? I think Baizhou, who is in the same grade as us, is stronger than him, and it is really strange that he can stay in the second army with his strength. The classmates around him immediately chimed in.
"Right? Definitely what's so special! The overseer also said that there was no private element in it. "The first-year freshmen who had previously vented their frustrations spoke louder and louder after receiving approval.
"The reason is that he's so much better than us." Several second-year students, led by Ryosuke Kominato, stopped the first-year students who were chatting, and Ryosuke Kominato squinted at each other.
"All the games of the second army are commanded by Chris, if it weren't for him, the previous games would not be mentioned, and we may not be able to win the six practice matches during this time." This is what Fumiya Kusunoki said.
"He became the main battle catcher of the First Army last summer, and if it weren't for the injury to his right shoulder, he wouldn't have retired to the Second Army to recuperate." This is what Masaki Kadoda said.
"To be honest, I may not be convinced by whoever the overseer chooses, but if Chris, I am convinced." This is what Keisuke Miyauchi said.
The first-year freshmen who were blocked by the seniors hurriedly apologized to the seniors, and then ran away in disgrace.
Looking at the figure of the first-year freshman walking away, Ryosuke Kominato suddenly said: "Oh, in fact, I am still a little unwilling, after all, it is summer Koshien!" ”
"Next time, I must be a regular candidate for the first army!" Ichiro Sakai clenched his hands and said in a very serious tone.
……
Rewind the clock, to May 27th, the Seido High School Spring Sports Festival.
The Seido Sports Festival kicked off on this day, and all the students of the school wore sweatshirts and lined up to enter the stadium as they had practiced before. Although it was a procession, most of the students just walked normally. Show your seriousness in a way that doesn't disrupt the order.
At the opening ceremony, the third-year student president made an opening declaration.
By the way, since this is the first time that the school has held a spring sports festival, the school has decided not to hold competitions such as solidarity, dance, and group gymnastics on the day of the sports festival, so that the sports festival will completely become an event that competes with each other's physical strength and motor nerves.
Of course, this also caused dissatisfaction among many people who are not good at sports, and then they were sent away by the school one by one.
