After leaving the Meiji Jingu Stadium, Yagami went to a nearby vending machine and found a vending machine with relatively few people in line, and waited in line.

"Yagami!"

Hearing someone shouting at him, Yagami Ye looked back and saw that the person behind him was the third year of the city university.

"True." Yagami said hello to each other.

The person in front of him bought drinks quickly, and after a while, both of them bought drinks and left together.

"This time, our two schools happen to be in different halves." Manaka took a sip of his drink and said.

"yes, it looks like we won't be able to meet until the final." Yagami nodded.

"I heard that Daocheng Industry has a very good first-year pitcher this year." Manaka wants to take a look at Yagami Night, Seido and Inagi Industrial are in the same half, and if nothing else, they will meet in the semifinals.

Speaking of that powerful first-year pitcher, Yagami Yagami has seen the information of the other party, who was the most famous ace pitcher in the Kanto region during his junior high school days.

"So what? Whether it's Daocheng Industry or your city junior, I will defeat it. ”

"What a big tone!" Manaka took another sip of his drink: "It seems that we can only see the real chapter in the arena!" ”

"See you on the field," Yagami saw Chris's figure in front of him, and walked forward quickly: "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye." Manaka will wave goodbye in the same way, and then go to find his teammates.

When Yagami got closer, he found that Chris was going straight with the black man's house.

"Is Caizen's injury healed?" Yagami asked.

Chris nodded: "He said he has recovered and is ready to play." ”

"It's really good to be in time for the Summer Liga qualifiers." Yagami sighed lightly, glad that Chris's and Caizen Naoyuki's injuries weren't so serious that they directly ruined their careers in Takano.

Yagami and Chris quickly found Qingdao's school bus, and after the two of them got on the bus, Dong Qingguo counted the number of people and found that there were still two people who had not returned, so he got off the bus and waited for them.

After a long while, Tetsuya Yuuki ran back with Jun Izaki and was patted on the head by Higashi Kiyokuni alone.

"What's going on? Why did it take so long to come back? Murasuke Taiki looked at Tetsuya Yuuki who was panting after sitting down, and the two of them asked.

"We went to the toilet and came out, Ah Zhe looked in the wrong direction, and we ran to the exit on the other side." Izaki Jun said a little speechlessly: "I've been here several times, and I can still point the wrong way." ”

"I'm sorry." Tetsu Yuki didn't dare to say anything more, and apologized obediently.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back to school." Takashima Rei counted the number of people again, made sure that everyone in the first army was there, and said to the driver.

"When we come here again, we'll have to wait until the semi-finals." Fujii Gui glanced back at the Meiji Jingu Stadium behind him and said with emotion.

"The first goal is to get back here again." As the captain of the team, Dong Kiyokuni said in a deep voice that although it is not difficult for Seido to return to the Meiji Jingu Stadium, they still can't take it lightly because of this.

As a seed school, Qingdao does not have to participate in a single battle, and compared to other non-seed schools, there are several more days to train and prepare. (PS: Only teams on the East Tokyo side can directly enter the third round, and the West Tokyo side can not participate in the first round at most, and start from the second round.) )

Back at school, and after a short lunch break, Dong Qingguo came to the pitching practice area with a bat, and found that everyone else was practicing in full swing, several pitchers in the first army were feeding the ball, and even Takuya Kimura in the first grade was helping several second-year students in the first army to feed the ball, and looked around.

"Hey! The ...... over there" Dong Qingguo found that among the first-graders doing basic training, there was a person who remembered that he performed well in the previous competition between the old and new students, and was still a side pitcher: "That first-grader...... Call...... Kawakami, right! Kawakami! Come here. ”

"Ah...... Be! Kawakami Kenshi, who was named by his senior, stood up straight quite nervously, and then ran to Dongqingguo with stiff limbs.

“…… Higashi Senior. I don't know why Kenshi Kawakami, who was suddenly called over by his senior, stood in front of Dongqingguo with his head down.

"I'm missing a pitcher to help me pitch, you go and prepare, and then help me pitch." Dong Qingguo looked at Kawakami Kenshi with a nervous look on his face, and frowned.

"Yes......" Kenshi Kawakami replied with a hint of trill, and then went up to get the pitcher's ball cover and protective gear.

Dong Qingguo stood in place with his right hand crossed on his waist, looking at the figure of Kenshi Kawakami gradually running away, and then looked back at Koichiro Tanba in the second grade.

Kenshi Kawakami, a first-year student, is also a little bold, and Koichiro Tanba in the second year is also like this, which really makes people worry about the future of Seido.

After they retire this term, the pressure on the pitcher formation will probably be all on Yagami alone for a long time.

Takuya Kimura is good, but he still needs time to grow, and he will need at least next spring to become the main force of the Qingdao pitcher lineup; If Kurosaki hadn't transferred, he would have been a regular in the fall of the year, which made most of the baseball club wonder why he wanted to transfer.

Could it be that after the competition between the old and new students, Superintendent Kataoka promoted Kimura to the first army and left him in the second army? In addition, after that, he ignored him, and even the Second Army and other schools did not let him play in the practice matches?

Supervising Kataoka's approach may be biased, but he believes that the overseer has his own ideas and reasons for doing so!

"Senior Dong, I'm ready." Although Kenshi Kawakami was very afraid of Higashi, he quickly completed the preparation of the pitch and trotted back to the front of Higashi Kiyokoku.

"Pitch the ball, any way." Dong Qingguo put on his batting cap, slapped his belly, raised his bat, pointed at Kawakami Kankenshi and said, "Throw the ball with all your might!" ”

"Yes!" Kenshi Kawakami picked up a baseball from the frame, hesitated, took a pose, flicked his arm, and threw it hard.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball that flew over was violently knocked out by Dong Qingguo and directly hit the outer net.

"No, how soft and soft has no strength at all! Kawakami, have you eaten enough three bowls per meal? Dong Qingguo pointed at Kawakami Kenshi with a bat and said, "Throw the ball vigorously!" ”

"Yes!" Kenshi Kawakami really didn't understand why Higashi, who was the captain of the team, suddenly found him and asked him to help pitch? As soon as he thought of the baseball that was easily played by Senior Dong just now, his whole person became very nervous.

It's just that under the gaze of the fierce gaze of Dongqingguo, Kawakami Kenshi can only grit his teeth, wave his arms, and throw the baseball in his hand with all his might.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"
