Chapter 12: The Rookies Washed in Blood
"It's nine and a half minutes now, and if you don't step into the court yet, don't even think about going up to the pitcher's hill now."
Looking at Tsukasa Hasuki, who was still concave on the edge of the court, Coach Kataoka replied angrily. Frightened, Lianmusi hurriedly stuffed the remaining buns in his left hand into his stomach and jumped up.
Although I wanted to get down on one knee and say hello to Coach Kataoka, boss, please give me another chance, but I still held back for the sake of my own survival. Putting away the smile on his face, Hasuki slowly walked towards the position of the new students.
"Haha, it's really that guy, Hasumu Division, I didn't expect him to come to Qingdao too, it's so interesting."
Yukiichi in the crowd finally saw Hasuki Si's face clearly this time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and there seemed to be a fire flickering in his eyes. In fact, it wasn't just him, all the freshmen of Qingdao High School looked at the person with a shocked face on their faces at this time.
There's no way, there should be no one who doesn't know the world's best demon pitcher in his contemporaries. And especially the players who joined the youth league during the junior high school period are even more familiar with the name of Hasuki Division. Aso, for example, has now begun to gnash his teeth.
"Cut, I originally thought I was the number two person in Qingdao High School in this generation, but I didn't expect this big Buddha to be hidden?"
But I can't exaggerate too much, and there are people who aren't very familiar with Hasukiji. For example, Kuramochi Yoichi, who was standing next to Miyukichiya at this time, looked around at the people who were whispering around him with a confused expression. Later, I was really curious, so I could only ask Yuyuki Ichiya next to him.
"Hey, who the hell is that guy? Why did everyone's faces change after seeing him? ”
"Kuramochi, did you play baseball before?"
For Kuramochi Yoichi's question, Yukiichi also looked very surprised, you must know that they shouldn't have played baseball this year, don't know this guy.
"Don't be verbose, I'm not like you young masters in Tokyo, our side is ruthless in terms of news."
Kuramochi pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly. Yu Yuichi also looked helpless when he saw it, and then shrugged his shoulders and said softly.
"It's nothing, you just have to remember that this guy is the best pitcher in Japan's class of high school students."
After hearing this, Kuramochiyo's face was startled for a moment, and then he quickly returned to normal, stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, staring at the slowly walking figure of Hasuki Si like a poisonous snake.
Japan's No. 1 pitcher... Hmph, all of them are terrible guys, but that's right, my teammates should be at this level.
After seeing Hasuki Tsukasa return, Coach Kataoka snorted coldly, and then yelled at the freshmen and senior players.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready for the Red and White War to begin. As a senior, then you should be a little more atmospheric, and let the juniors attack. ”
The seniors have no problem with this, and the freshmen are happy to see it too. In baseball, the first side to attack often has the initiative, and if you can open the opponent's defense first, then the situation will fall to your side.
And now the freshmen see that such an amazing guy suddenly came to their team, and they have added a little confidence in this competition, maybe they can really create a miracle in their year.
After seeing that both sides had fighting spirit, Coach Kataoka directly announced the start of the game.
"Ready, let's get started. It's up to you to pitch this game, and as for the other fielders, Kominato, Izaki, Masuko, ......"
"As for the freshmen, let you arrange it yourself."
The freshmen were a little flustered when they heard this, but after a few minutes, they still chose the starting player to play.
Well... It's all pointed out by Hasuki Division.,To be honest.,Except for the guy Yukikazuya among the freshmen of Seido High School.,He doesn't seem to know anyone.。
And even Yuyuki, this guy, he listened to Harada's seniors, saying that he had a genius catcher this year, and he showed him a photo of Yuyuki. However, when I was at the ceremony venue just now, I didn't recognize it because I was sitting a little far away and a little dark.
But those guys didn't know why, and after hearing Coach Kataoka's own arrangement, they all focused their eyes on themselves, as if they wanted to nominate themselves to be the captain of this temporary team.
Of course, Hasuki himself is confused, he is just a pitcher, and now he has to trouble himself even for such a thing as arranging troops? So he had no choice but to point to a few people casually.
"Hey, Lianmu, why did you come to Qingdao?"
Hasuki Si, who had just stood up and made a small conductor, had not yet sat on the hot ass, and there was an annoying spirit beside him.
"Because Qingdao admitted me, so I came, is there anything strange about this?"
Hasuki didn't even reply, because he knew that a guy like this would be more energetic once you ignored him.
"Ah, this ......" Miyukichi was also silenced by Hasukiji's reply, and only continued to speak after a moment.
"No, I mean why-"
"Shhhh
It's a pity that this time he was interrupted by Lianmu Si before he could finish speaking, and Yu Yuichi also looked at Lianmu Si helplessly on the side, and found that he was indeed watching the game seriously, so he could only sigh and do it, and he also turned his attention to the field.
In the first game, because of the kindness of the seniors, the freshmen took the lead. At this time, the person standing on the pitcher's mound was a tall and thin senior, although he looked a little restrained, but there was still a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
So let's get started, let me see the level of the famous Qingdao pitchers. Hasunki sat on the bench with his hands crossed under his chin and looked intently at the court.
The reason why Seido High School, which is the Big Three of West Tokyo, has not been able to enter Koshien for a long time, let me observe this game first.
"Tanba, show me the momentum of my predecessors, and pitch well."
"Tambo, don't give a single hit to these rookies, if you can't do it, you can shave your head and apologize."
"Chunjun, your requirements for Tanba-kun are still so harsh, in my opinion, it's better to strike them all three first. Now, it's done, Tanba-kun. ”
"Don't lose your momentum, Koichiro, you know, that guy is still watching you over there."
Koichiro Tanba, who was still a little restrained, disappeared even the only hesitation in his heart because of the last shout of the team, and he first stared in the direction of Hasuki Tsukasa, and then signaled to Coach Kataoka that he was ready.
Coach Kataoka nodded, and then motioned for the freshmen team on the side to climb onto the thug area. The latter is obviously a little nervous, but it makes sense, after all, he is a freshman.
However, he also knows his responsibilities, as a stick to the team, whether he can knock it out or not will greatly affect the players who will appear later. Besides, Hasuki-kun still entrusted this responsibility to me even though he knew that a stick was so important, which shows how much he trusted me. So in order to live up to his expectations, I will definitely fight.
With this in mind, the young man looked in the direction of Hasuki for a few seconds. caused a layer of goosebumps on the body of Hasuki Division, who was originally sitting quietly on the bench. Why is it that not only my predecessors, but also my own peers are now looking at me like this, I really have a very correct sexual orientation.
"Hah."
And now the teenager who was carrying all the hopes in the thug area shouted, hoping to give himself a little strength, and stared at the Tamba senior on the pitcher's mound with a hint of ferocity in his eyes. If it's just a backup pitcher for Seongdo, maybe I can make it.
Hmph, that's good. First grader, but I hope you don't surprise me with my pitch later.
The first goal is to get off the horse with these guys, Damba!
I am in the palace!
"Whew!"
The moment the code exchange was completed, the left leg of the Tamba senior on the pitcher's mound slammed forward fiercely, and then the next moment, the right hand hidden behind him suddenly appeared, and the white light shot straight at home plate!
At this time, the freshman standing in the thug area was directly stunned, because the white ball actually shot straight towards his face.
Hey, hey, it's not a joke, right? But the white balls that were getting more and more away from him still scared him. Relying on his instinct, he threw away the bat and dodged backwards abruptly, but his feet slipped and fell directly to the ground.
"Smack!" The sound of the white ball coming into his head came to mind, followed by the shouting of Coach Kataoka.
“strike!”
Really, is that ball a good ball? The freshman in charge of the first baton was terrified. At this time, there were also bursts of exclamations from the freshman team.
"The baseball just seemed to stop in the thug's face and then fell straight down."
"It's really fake, and this kind of curveball, the hitter can't shoot at all."
What's the matter, first grader, you can't hit my ball if you're paralyzed on the ground. Koichiro Tanba, who stood on the pitcher's mound and looked down at the thugs, had an expression that seemed to tell the words.
The batter swallowed a mouthful of saliva and picked up the bat and stood up tremblingly, but by this time there was no color on his face.
"Whew!"
This kind of ball,
"Smack!"
"Whew!"
What the hell do you want me to do?
"Smack!"
“strike,batter out!”
With three swings, the first hitter of the freshman team immediately retreated, while the second and third bats behind him only survived three and four balls respectively in the hands of Tanba's seniors.
The total time it took to solve the three beaters was only about five minutes, and it was quite capable. Hasuki Si looked at Tanba-senpai who was trotting back all the way from the bench, and thought to himself.
"How's it going, Tamba-senpai's pitch?"
At this time, the annoying spirit who was quiet around him just now began to talk again. This time, however, Hasuki answered his question seriously.
"The degree of completion is quite high, that Tanba's predecessor's curveball."
But it's just a curveball.
Miyuki, who was beside him, had a playful smile on his face when he heard the reply, and reached out to push the abdomen of the top lotus muji.
"Oh, to be so highly praised by a prodigy-sama, Tanba-senpai would be happy if he found out."
"Spare me."
Hasuki first reached out to knock off his pig's trotters, then stood up and symbolically comforted his teammate who had returned to no avail.
"The other party is our senior, didn't we always know that they are strong? There's no need to be sad about things that have already passed. Now raise your head, it's time for our garrison, let's give the seniors a three-up-three-down. Defend it, Kawashima! ”
"Oh, I will."
Kawashima, who was given a heavy responsibility by Hasuki Division, nodded hurriedly, signaling that he would definitely be able to do it. Knowing that he had always been the ace in the team when he was in junior high school, Kawashima-san's heart was full of confidence, but when he stepped out of the bench, everything seemed to change.
Unfortunately, Kengo Kawashima did not succeed in fulfilling his vow. In the second half of the first game of the red and white battle, the bats of the seniors were firmly controlled, and the line was almost rounded twice, and the score came to 12-0, which was stained with blood.
On this day, the first-year rookies clearly realized the horror of their predecessors and the majesty of the so-called famous family.
