Chapter 6: The End of Summer
"And the guerrilla, first-year Yoichi Kuramochi!"
Obviously, this time the Kataoka supervisor didn't speak very loudly, but it seemed to be yelling in the ears of most of the players present, and he couldn't hear any words anymore.
"Eh, yes!"
Kuramochi, who was selected, was obviously a little confused, and it was natural that Kominato-senpai and Miyuki had performed well in the red and white battle a few days ago and were selected.
But what about yourself?
After being replaced, the three seats were all strikeouts, and he couldn't show any counterattack in the face of Hasuki Division's pitching, so that the embarrassing result could be selected as a team? He himself was a little hard to accept.
Although he performed well in the previous practice games, the real baseball is only based on the sport in front of him, and his condition on the day was very poor, and he did not deserve a seat in the first team, which is a fact.
Looking at some of the seniors around him who couldn't hold back the sadness in their hearts and their whole bodies began to tremble, Cangzhi clenched his fists.
There are a lot of seniors who are better than me, bastard! Why is there only 20 seats in the First Army?
"The first team and the three selected will represent everyone in the baseball club in the summer tournament, and in order to prepare for the practice that follows, we will disband here today.
The third year that wasn't selected stayed, and the rest of the people went back to rest. ”
Ignoring the players who had already behaved strangely, Superintendent Kataoka continued to speak.
After hearing the words of the supervisor, the surrounding players slowly moved their bodies and passed by the seniors who were still standing on the court.
"Let's go, Kurachi. Hehe, how do you think you didn't show how happy you were even if you were chosen? ”
Looking at Yoichi Kuramochi, who was still standing in place, Hasuki Tsukasa chuckled and spoke.
"You guy!"
Looking at Hasuki Division's disdainful expression, Kuramochi couldn't help but rush forward, but was immediately stopped by Miyuki on the side.
Looking at Kuramochi with an angry face, Miyuki shook his head, patted Kuramochi lightly on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Let's listen to Assi now, and those of us who have been chosen don't know what to do, Kurachi."
Looking at Miyuki and the other first-class players who had resolutely left, Kuramochi glanced back at the third-year seniors who were standing in place and gritted their teeth and left.
Under the light of the setting sun, the teenagers who were always in a mess are now suddenly different because of a fence.
The first tears of the teenagers in the summer have been quietly spilled.
"Over the past two years, you've worked really hard. After rigorous practice and fierce competition for starters, I believe that there must be a lot of pain and unwillingness in your hearts.
But you will never be discouraged. Follow me firmly and listen to my guidance. You've taught me so much. ”
After closing his words, Kataoka Tetsushin put his hands flat on the seams of his pants and bowed to all the third-year contestants present.
"Please continue to be my pride in the future."
“!!!”
Obviously, it was just a fluttering sentence, but it instantly pierced the appearance of the predecessors who pretended to be strong. Tears have been flowing uncontrollably, and even if you close your eyes, you can't stop the catharsis of your feelings.
Okay, there's no juniors watching you anymore, so please cry as much as you want. You're already great......
The 12 third-year contestants who were not selected were present at the event, and their summer was over.
Under the setting sun, the faces of the teenagers who carry their dreams are extremely resolute.
"I didn't expect you to be chosen in the end, Kurachi."
"Don't be long-winded, Lianmu!"
"Hehe, but since you were selected, I hope you don't give up halfway, the training of the first army is very hard."
Glancing at Kuramori, who was contemplating with his head down, Hasuki spoke slowly. Just when Kuramochi wanted to reply, someone behind him answered first.
The two looked back, and it was Ryosuke Kominato, who was also promoted from the Second Army.
"Don't think about this kind of thing, Lianmu-kun, if it's harder than the training, I don't think our second army is worse than you."
After staring at the torch-eyed Kominato senior for a while, Hasuki turned his head back and didn't speak.
"The three shirts still failed this year."
"Well, and Imai, that idiot said to me with a smile yesterday that he went to the temple to ask for a lot, saying that he would definitely be selected for the army this year."
At the front of the team were the third-year seniors who had all the evil faces, and unlike the guys in the lower grades, their steps were extremely firm.
Because they know that only by relying on their bats can they better prove that the youth of those unsuccessful companions has not been wasted!
"This year,"
"Ah, Koshien. That's the kind of place we're definitely going to be, just this summer! ”
As soon as the East seniors spit out two words, the Akishima seniors next to him and the others made up the rest of the words.
Listening to the decision from his companions, Higashi-senpai stopped with a smile, and the people behind him also followed the captain's footsteps.
His gaze swept over the faces of everyone behind him, and Dong's senior opened his mouth and laughed.
"Oh, let's go together, Koshien!"
"Yes!"
Under the youth, the oaths of the teenagers are as crystal clear and dazzling as diamonds.
