After hearing Tanba say this, everyone showed a relieved expression, and then looked at Kimura, Kawakami, and Nagumo next to him: "You guys should be fine, right?" ”

Nanyun Shiyi shook his head and said in a tone that proved his innocence: "It's the superintendent and the minister who are too nervous, but I've always been healthy. ”

In order to achieve the promise with his friends, injuries are the biggest obstacle to his goal, and the only thing he can call a desperate practice is to swing the bat.

After hearing this, everyone laughed when they heard how crazy Nagumo's practice was.

After Koichiro Tanba was not seriously injured and was able to make it to Koshien in the spring, everyone quickly dispersed, or rested, or practiced, or went out, and did their own things.

On the other side, Superintendent Kataoka, Minister Ota and others who returned to the supervision room also breathed a sigh of relief, if Tanba's injury was too serious to participate in the spring Koshien, Aodo would have to rely on Yagami and Nagumo to achieve the summer and spring slam hegemony, and while the schedule was struggling, he didn't want to just arrange it.

If it weren't for Yagami's current change of mentality, he probably wouldn't be bothered so much.

Sure enough, there is still a shortage of pitchers, the strongest pitcher of this generation, but he does not have the qualities that an ace pitcher should have. If it weren't for the strength that Aodo needed to achieve the summer and spring streaks, even if Nagumo or Tanba alone insisted on finishing the spring Koshien game, he would not have let Yagami play.

Of course, if he relies on one person to finish the Koshien game, there is a high probability that his future will be destroyed.

As a supervisor, Kataoka Tetsushin didn't want the players he had cultivated to end like meteors after the most brilliant brilliance in Koshien.

Therefore, whether it is the two-year-old Yagami Yagami and Tanba Koichiro, or the one-year-old Takuya Kimura, Mingumo Seichi and Kawakami Kenshi, it is the most important thing that they can fill each other's positions.

The thickness and depth of the pitcher formation will make Aomichi not need to think about pitchers at all before the end of the summer, and although Nagumo will most likely quit the club with the second-year students after the summer, Takuya Kimura and Kenshi Kawakami must have become good enough pitchers by then.

In addition, among the new students entering in April, there must be excellent pitchers.

Now that Koshien has not yet started in the spring and the new students have not yet enrolled, it is still a little too early for him to worry about this as the team's overseer; There is only one most important thing at the moment, the number of the players in the first army is scheduled.

At 10:00 a.m. on February 25th, this is the start time of the third red and white match of the Seido Wild Ball Club, and the two teams in the game are the red team led by Miyukikazu and the white team led by Naoya Kuroza.

White Team Lineup: One Bat, Shortstop, Kusunoki; Two sticks, catcher, uterine; Three bats, pitcher, Nagumo; Four, third baseman, Masuko; Five sticks, catcher, hidden seat; Six, right fielder, Hakushu; Seven bats, middle fielders, Tanaka; eight, second baseman, Endo; Nine, left fielder, Yamazaki.

White lineup: One Bat, Shortstop, Kurachi; second baseman, second baseman, minato; Three-bat, midfield, Izoshiki; Four, first baseman, Yuuki; Five sticks, catcher, Miyuki; Six, left fielder, Sakai; Seven, third baseman, Higasa; Eight, pitcher, Kimura (Kawakami); Nine, right fielder, Menda.

At 00:13 in the afternoon, the score was 3:3 after the two sides played nine rounds, ending the game in a draw.

The team was dismissed, and Superintendent Kataoka, who returned to the office, took out a form, which was the form for submitting the registration list to the Japan High School Wild Ball League; Seido still needs to officially submit the roster of players before the 80th commemorative selection high school wild ball tournament on March 15, and now it's time to decide.

Superintendent Kataoka filled out the form and handed it to Minister Ota: "Tomorrow after the morning training session, the list will be announced, and then I will go to the Japan High School Wild Ball League to submit the registration list." ”

At 04:00 p.m. on February 25th, an incentive meeting was held in the gymnasium of Qingdao University for the wild ball club that participated in the selection conference.

After the president of the Wild Ball Club Support Association gave a speech at the meeting, Principal Shohei Mori encouraged the players, saying, "I hope you can play a fair game without fear. ”

Next, Superintendent Kataoka told the players, "The team has received high praise in newspapers and other media, but there are also many flaws. ”

This was followed by Minister Ota's sonorous words: "This time I still want to go to the end with the players... I'll do my best! ”

After the greetings, Superintendent Kataoka introduced the contestants to the supporters who participated in the incentive party.

Next, captain Tetsuya Yuki and ace Yagami expressed their determination as representatives: "We have set ourselves the goal of national domination, thank you for your support and support!" ”

Finally, Superintendent Kataoka introduced the unnamed members of the Noball Division's 2nd and 3rd Armies one by one, thanking them for their contributions to the team and their behind-the-scenes efforts.

After that, the representative of the athlete's parents will hand over the bouquet and prayer card that have been ordered to be delivered, and the handiwork consisting of 1,000 paper cranes will be handed over to the captain Tetsuya Yuuki.

At the end of all the sessions, Principal Mori said, "We will work hard with the players who can't play in the team uniforms to accumulate victories, and pray that your dreams will come true..."

The representative of the Mainichi Shimbun in the Tokyo metropolitan area also said, "It is an honor to present the selection flag to Seido High School, which has trained many famous athletes. Please strive for the first Koshien victory since the founding of the department and try to win. (PS: Koshien here refers only to Koshien in spring.) )

Towards the end of the incentive meeting, the main parties were left behind for questions.

Q: Could you please express your support for the Wild Ball Club?

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the school, Mr. Takashima: I don't know what people will say about me. But I want the players to be able to start with "I'm not going to lose!" I will win! The spirit of steadily improving their strength and doing their best... The results they hope for will come naturally.

Q: Could you please express your support for the Wild Ball Club?

Principal Shohei Mori: I hope you can train well and face the game with dignity. Then victory will follow. The school will support you.
