"I'm back."

"Welcome back and congratulations on winning today's game."

"By the way, you did a really good job when you pitched at the end."

"Of course!" While changing his shoes in the hallway, Yagami continued to say to Takako Yagami, "My teammates and I are going to win the championship in Koshien." ”

"Is that so? Then keep up the good work. ”

……

After Yagami took a shower and went back to his room to prepare for tomorrow's schoolwork, he went to the yard with Yanagi Nozomi, who also had free time, to practice throwing.

Although his yard is not big, it is enough for casting.

"It's a pity that the height is not enough." As soon as he threw two shots, Yanagi said with some dissatisfaction with the pitcher position that was created by the two of them more than a month ago, but was rarely used.

"Let's do this for the time being, don't vote too much, just two groups of 30." Yagami first appeased Yanagi Nozomi, then grabbed the bat in his hand and waved it vigorously, "First plant your ball in various positions in the good ball area twice, and then change me to shoot." ”

Yanagi nodded in agreement, and had to do this for now, after all, the two of them rarely practiced baseball at home.

"Whew!"

"Smack!"

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Smack!"

"Whew!"

"Smack!"

Yagami stood up in the batting position, and Yanagi began to pitch, and the ball was faster than one ball.

"Nozomi, what's your ball speed now?" Yagami asked, after all, in terms of the current ball speed, it gave him a feeling that was even faster than before.

"Well, the fastest ball speed should be 153km/h." Yanagi thought for a moment and replied that this ball speed was just measured a few days ago.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yagami was directly surprised by Nozomi Yanagi's ball speed.

"Haha, that's needless to say!" Nozomi Yanagi looks like he is very powerful.

Just after entering high school, he can throw a 150km/h speedball, which is a record that will be difficult to break in the current Japan, and even in the next ten years, but I didn't expect that Yanagi's improvement in pitching speed has not weakened since he was promoted to high school, and he is approaching the 155km/h level so quickly.

At this time last year, her fastest ball speed was only 145km/h, at most she was only one of the record holders, but she didn't expect that now she would not only set a record in Japan, if her ball speed continues to grow like this, even in the United States, she can set her own record, and when she is promoted to the third year of high school, there will be a monster who can throw a 160km/h speedball.

"I'm going to vote!" Nozomi Yanagi glanced at Yagami, who had re-sittened, and after making his own pitching pose, he swung the baseball in his hand.

"Whew!"

The white baseball flashed out of her palm like a bright light, and it flew forward.

“！”

Yagami looked at the speeding baseball, and couldn't resist the urge to swing the bat.

"Huh!"

"Smack!"

Call!

Yagami exhaled as he turned his head to look at the baseball that slammed into the wall and then fell to the ground.

Xiao Xi waved his arm and threw this ball, which really made people feel an uncontrollable urge to swing the bat and strike!

You can't be cranky, you have to be calm, as long as Xiaoxi doesn't throw a good ball, then you can't swing a stick to strike.

"Whew!"

"Smack!"

In this way, Yagami Ye wanted to swing the stick to strike, and when he faced the outside corner bad ball thrown by Yanagi Nozomi's arm, it was not easy to stop and continue to swing the stick.

"Whew!"

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Yagami swung his bat and re-entered the posture of waiting for the blow.

From the reaction of the night brother, Yanagi confirmed that his current pitch could indeed lure the hitter to swing the baton and strike, and continued to show a sly smile.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping Pong"

In the face of the sixth ball thrown by Nozomi Yanagi with his arm, Yagami Yagami hit the flying baseball with his bat.

"What ......!"

Yanagi's eyes widened as he watched as the baseball he threw was knocked out by Brother Night's swing, and then flew out of the courtyard wall and fell into the street outside.

……

After the throw, in order to be in the best condition for the next day, Yagami went to bed early.

In the early morning of the next day, none of the teenagers who had just won the West Tokyo Games were lazy, including Yagami Yagami and Tetsuya Yuuki, who were not boarding at the school, and they all got up early as usual.

When Yagami gets up, he jogs around the streets, then returns home to wash up, and finally goes to school to do basic exercises with his teammates.

This scene in front of him made Superintendent Kataoka, who was also an early riser, feel very relieved, and it took a while to gather the team together. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and then turned to face the crowd: "The following is the list of participants in the National Conference of Wild Ball Players in Colleges and Universities." ”

As soon as Superintendent Kataoka's words fell, there was a small commotion in the team, and then it quickly calmed down.

"No. 1, Yagami Night; No. 2, Takigawa Chris Yuu; No. 3, Tetsuya Yuuki; No. 4, Yuki Tanaka; No. 5, Dongqingguo; No. 6, Taro Fukuda; No. 7, Takashi Fujii; No. 8, Murasuke Big Tree; No. 9, Kuroza Naoya ......"

Kataoka superintendent is not in a hurry to report the number and the name of the person.,The starting lineup is a little controversial except for the starting number of the Tibetan seat.,No one has any opinions on other people's numbers.,What's more, having a starting number doesn't mean you can start the game.,For example, the city's three major Miyai dragons.。

“…… No. 10, Jinguji I; No. 11, Kotaro Tojima; No. 12, Hiroshi Ota; No. 13, Kentaro Matsuda; No. 14, Hiroshi Sakai; No. 15, and wood xx; No. 16, Yitian xx; On the 17th, Koichiro Tanba ......" When reporting for the last number, Superintendent Kataoka paused and continued: "On the 18th, Miyuki Kazuya. Above. ”

There was soon a small amount of talk in the crowd, but it soon quieted down, and after no one in the team was talking about it, Superintendent Kataoka continued: "Recorder, Matsudaira Ryuichi. In addition, the support team members: Jun Izaki, Toru Masuko, Ryosuke Kominato, Ichiro Sakai, Takuya Kimura. Above. ”

"Yes." The six people named by Superintendent Kataoka replied.

"There are still three days left before the lottery on August 3, and six days before the official opening of the National Wild Ball Players Conference in Colleges and Universities.

"On the afternoon of August 2, the first army members, recorders, and assistant team members set off for the former Xigong City; The others will go to Hanshin Koshien to watch the game according to the results of the lottery under the arrangement of the school......"

"Is it clear to everyone?" Superintendent Kataoka asked the crowd again at the end.

"Clear!" The crowd responded loudly.

"The training for the past two days is about the same as usual, let's disband." Superintendent Kataoka said his last words and turned to leave.
