125 Chapter 1: Seidou’s Internal Promotion
After winning the championship of the Kanto Tournament, the principal and dean of Seidou prepared a celebration banquet.
This is not all because everyone performed well at the Kanto Tournament. The more important reason is that Seidou has not entered Koshien for five consecutive years, and the previous momentum was not good. Every year, there are problems here, or there are flaws there.
This year's momentum looks very different.
Pitcher, catcher, infielder, outfielder…
Perfect! All Perfect!
The hope for Koshien is very promising.
Especially when the media hyped it, the principal and the dean became even more confident.
Among the teams that won the Kanto Championship in May, there were not many who didn't enter Koshien that summer. There definitely were teams that didn't, but not many.
At least a team that can win the championship of the Kanto Tournament has absolutely no problem with their strength.
"The rest is up to heaven's will."
Both the principal and the dean of education believed that this year's players must have the ability to enter Koshien, and the rest is up to luck. If you are unlucky and encounter Inashiro Industrial and Ichidaisan in a row, then…
At the banquet, although no alcohol is allowed. But the three people in dormitory No. 5 were all playing like crazy.
Sawamura kept toasting and talking with the seniors one by one.
He seems he have been with the seniors for a long time now.
For other first-year players, looking at Sawamura like this is like looking at a person from another world.
The words of Maezono, the leader of the Second String in the second grade, represented everyone's thoughts.
"Even when we talked to the Senpais, we were trembling with fear. How can you, a first-year student, be so indifferent?"
They are all kinds of envy and jealousy.
Sawamura ignored it completely, only he knew that his time with the seniors was running out.
In the last time, he hoped that everyone would have good memories. Especially Chris.
"Shisho, cheers!"
Sawamura toasted Chris with a flushed face.
Chris frowned: "Did you drink?"
"No?"
Sawamura shook his head like a rattle.
In fact, he didn't really drink, he just drank Coke.
On the other hand, Kuramochi is performing his various funny stunts. He has always been an active member of Seidou, and together with Sawamura.
"Hey, kid. Did you speak ill of me?"
Kuramochi always felt that Kataoka looked at him with a bad look, so he asked Sawamura.
He and Sawamura belong to the same dorm room and want to prank each other, and they both take pleasure in framing each other.
When Kuramochi was in trouble, Sawamura came to mind first.
"Don't talk nonsense Senpai, am I so bad."
Sawamura immediately denied it.
"When the Coach said you were reckless, I even defended you."
Kuramochi was dubious: "Really?"
Miyuki, who was beside him, shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this.
As you go.
The last boss in dormitory No. 5, the third-year senior Masuko, was enjoying his meal.
For him, banquets are eating.
"Can't eat anymore, Masuko. You lost flexibility because you were eating too much."
Isashiki pursed his lips.
But while he pouted, he ate a lot.
"Ugahaha~"
Masuko ignored it completely, he wanted to turn grief and anger into appetite.
Throughout the Kanto Tournament, Seidou encountered four opponents, and three of the pitchers used ball control and breaking balls as weapons, which made Masuko very useless. To be honest, he's really not very good at dealing with these types of pitchers.
Almost half of the top pitchers in the country are Fastball pitchers, and the other half rely on ball control and breaking balls.
If he can't overcome his weakness, he may not even be able to keep his starting position.
'Swing faster, don't have to swing all the way…'
While eating, Masuko was thinking about the problems in his attack.
Banquet?
Just eat and drink.
They were playing all night, and when they woke up the next day, the three guys in the No. 5 dormitory were collectively in low spirits.
If it wasn't for the biological clock, it's hard to say whether they could get up.
Yesterday, the three of them played too crazy and ate too crazy. These all have felt their body heavy.
After the morning exercise listlessly, it was time for breakfast.
Seidou High School has a special cafeteria for the baseball club.
After Sawamura finished eating, he had no appetite. At the banquet yesterday, he added too much food, it would be really unbearable.
Honestly, he wanted to sleep more.
No, there are still classes.
Resisting the urge to doze off, Sawamura opened his eyes, looked at the rice piled up in front of him, picked up a grain of rice with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.
After a while, Kominato and Kanemaru came over, and they were still sitting beside Sawamura.
"Congratulations, Eijun-kun."
Kominato smiled and congratulated.
"Thanks!"
This congratulation is a day late.
Kominato's congratulations are not entirely because Sawamura and the others won the Kanto Championship. The most important thing is that through yesterday's performance, Sawamura has been recognized by all the third grades and established his Ace status.
Sawamura knew this.
So he thanked him sincerely.
Kanemaru ate silently on the side.
Sawamura gave him a strange look: "Why don't you congratulate me too, Kanemaru."
Kanemaru gave Sawamura a dissatisfied look.
"Now I don't have the time for this."
After he finished speaking, he ate the rice in the bowl and got up and left.
"What happened to Kanemaru-kun?"
Sawamura watched Kanemaru leave with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Our team's internal promotion is about to start!"
"Promotion?"
Kominato was stunned.
Why doesn't he know?
Sawamura sighed with a sigh. As a friend, he thought he needed to tell some common sense of Seidou for Haruichi.
"Don't forget, we are a Giant. Although the main frame of the first string will not move, the promotion mechanism that should exist has always existed.
Now, there are two months before the start of the summer competition. For some time, three to five people from the third string will be promoted to the second string. These three to five people are the best in the third string in all aspects.
These three to five people will train with the second string in the next two weeks. Participate in training and practice matches. Finally, through the comprehensive evaluation of results and practice matches, the candidates to join the first string will be decided. The number of candidates is also two to five people.
Of course, if all of them are not qualified, it is also possible to cancel the promotion altogether. The first String will have about a month and a week before the start of the summer competition, there will be The Hell Camp. After this Camp, 20 members of the first string will be selected and the number will be determined.
So for the next three weeks will be Seidou's Internal Promotion. Any player in the Seidou can work hard to climb up!"
The Kominato Haruichi who heard this was full of enthusiasm.
"What about the last month?"
"The last month will be a joint training with the main force of the first string and some practice matches, but it won't be too tiring, because to reserve physical strength for the summer competition, just collect data on strong enemies and hone tactics."
"When does it begin?"
"It has already started, and today is the final assessment of the third string entering the second string."
