"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“strike！ batter out！ ”

"Oh, it's a pity, in the end, there is no way to take a point from Lianmu-kun."

"Huh, a point? There are very few effective hits. Seriously, Hasuki-kun's pitching is sharper than in the spring. ”

"Haha, that roaring catch can even be heard clearly by me outside the field, there shouldn't be a hitter who can stand calmly in the hitter's area, right?"

Looking at the seven-stick beaters who were still knocked out by Lianmu in the end, the uncles beside the fence of the stadium sighed and exchanged with a smile.

Looking at the indifferent figure that walked down the pitcher's mound, this group of uncles who have faithfully guarded Qingdao High School for decades are relieved, they have seen the bright trump card belonging to their own team.

From the fifth inning, Tsukasa Hasuki, who relayed the pitch on the court, perfectly showed the players of the second army the reason why they were in the second army.

He didn't allow any of the batters to get on second base, and one of the only two hits was due to the defense.

Talented pitcher, unrivaled in formidable form. He has fully verified this sentence and used the most straightforward pitch.

And under his pitching, which seemed to freeze the opponent's line, the substitutes of the first army also slowly spread their hands and feet.

In the sixth game, he scored two points directly from Kawakami's hand, and in the next seventh game, he directly broke Kawakami and was forced to leave the game after losing three points.

The predecessors of Longyuan who appeared in the follow-up were also unable to suppress the first army that had begun to eat the sweetness.

In the next two games, he couldn't settle down, and he lost five points in a row before he was able to win six outs.

This also let everyone know the real gap between the first army and the second army, and everyone in the first army definitely did not take any shortcuts to climb up on the shoulders of the players of the second army.

Instead, they have the strength to truly match their identity, and they have a baton that can really win glory for the team.

The final result of this practice match between the 1st Army Substitute and the 2nd Army was 14–1, ending in a crushing defeat for the 2nd Army.

Although the result is definitely that the players of the first army are better overall, there are always players from the first army who do not perform well in this game, and there are also very eye-catching players from the second army, especially those who have not given up the game after Hasuki debuted.

And the one who took all this into his eyes was the real flag bearer of Qingdao High School-Kataoka Iron Heart, who must have had a gradual balance in his heart.

Looking at the players with different expressions after the game, there was a glint in his eyes.

"Bastard! You guys came here on purpose to find fault with us! ”

As soon as the game ended, Kuramochi, who had just been replaced by Hasuki Tsukasa and had three strikeouts, couldn't help but rush over with a righteous flying kick.

"Hehe, what kind of joke is Kuramochi, I'm also a substitute for the first army, shouldn't it be a matter of course to pitch on the court?"

Hasuki Si smiled and grabbed Kuramochi's right foot, making the latter have to stand on his own, struggling to maintain his balance.

"Just let him go, As. But you're definitely deliberately running over to disgust us. ”

Miyuki behind him ran forward with a smile, successfully freed Kuramochi, who was about to fall, and then looked at Hasuki with a wicked smile.

"If you really can't fight, you will feel disgusted, and if you keep expecting that the opponent's strength is only worse than your own or similar to yourself, you'd better stay in the second army for me, Yuxing."

"You guy, how can I think so, you are not the only one who is eager to become stronger every day!"

Miyuki grabbed Hasuki's shoulder, and the latter turned around, just in time to see the slight flickering fire in the other's eyes. Hasumu was stunned and did not speak.

"However, Lianmu-kun is really powerful, no one on our side can hit your ball at all."

Looking at the few people who seemed to be arguing, Kawakami on the side hesitated and finally interjected into the middle of the crowd and whispered.

"Kawakami, no matter what time you have to work hard, this is the road you have to go through to become a real pitcher."

Looking at Kawakami, who had a somewhat apprehensive expression on his face, Hasuki Tsukasa knocked off Miyuki's hand, looked at the other party and said slowly.

"That," Hearing Hasuki Tsukasa's words, the expression on Kawakami's face instantly froze, and he opened his mouth to say something, but finally chose to be silent.

“……”

"Hmph, don't be too arrogant! Give me a little more time and I'll definitely knock your balls out!" ”

"Hey, I'm waiting for you, Aso-sama."

Ignoring Aso, who began to grow teeth and claws behind him, Hasuki Tsukasa waved his hand and walked out of the court, today's lower limb training has not been completed.

As for who will become the newcomer of the First Army, Renmuji doesn't care much about this kind of thing, after all, it will be a matter of the next era.

And it's only a few days later, isn't it?

……

Two days later, after all the members of the baseball club had finished training, it was already sunset.

The members of the department, who were supposed to be scattered in twos and threes, now all gathered at Field A, standing on the side of third base and looking at Coach Kataoka with a serious face.

Because today is the time for newcomers to report.

"Now the announcement of the list of those who have been promoted to the first army is now open.

Hearing Supervisor Kataoka's words, except for the current First Army players, all the remaining baseball club members all crumbled their bodies, for fear of missing any of the next words.

In addition to the red-and-white battle in the spring tournament two days ago, Superintendent Kataoka has removed three second-year players from the first team list, which means that only three passengers can be allowed to board the one-way ticket-only train.

Aren't the teenagers who have worked hard for many years just for the back number that shines in the sun? Isn't it just to stand on the pitch one day and fight for the team with your bat? Isn't it just to let your youth have no regrets!

Now it's time to decide who wins!

"According to the situation of the practice match and my own judgment, I have decided on the list of selected players, and I hope that the next three players can deeply understand the heavy responsibility of being the representative of our school's baseball team, and then work harder in the next training."

Glancing at the nervous players, Superintendent Kataoka spoke slowly.

"First of all, it's the second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato, the sophomore!"

"It's... Be! ”

After hearing his name being read out, Senior Minato was a little stunned for a while, and then reacted quickly and shouted with excitement on his face.

"Next up is the catcher, first-year Miyuki Kazuya!"

"Yes! Supervise. ”

Looking at the overseer's eyes, Miyuki instantly straightened up and responded loudly, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

There's only one left, there's only one left!

Looking at the two who had already been selected, the remaining players were envious. But in the face of the unclaimed ticket that was still floating in the air, they had the last hope in their hearts, clenched their fists tightly, and stared at Kataoka Supervisor through gritted teeth.

"And the last guerrilla, first-year Yoichi Kuramochi!"

Why, the sky seems to have darkened suddenly, and the sun hasn't started yet......
