Transformation

The next day, Sendou and Rei-chan went to the hospital for a review.

"How have you been feeling these past few days?" Rei-chan asked on the way to the hospital.

"It feels pretty good. In fact, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Sendou replied.

"That's good, but I still need to do it at the doctor's request later!"

"I know! You don't have to worry about me so much!

I cherish my life very much! "As he spoke, Sendou showed two rows of small white teeth.

"That's right! That Miyuki didn't come with you!

What happened to you guys? "

"That guy!

He is undergoing a transformation! "Sendou looked out the window and smiled.

"Transformation...?" Rei-chan pursed his lips and chuckled.

"I just came back yesterday and you were watching the video?

Which game? "

In the canteen of Seishin Dormitory, Kuramochi saw Miyuki watching the video alone. There were various video discs on the table in front of him.

"Now it's our match against Xibang!" Miyuki didn't look back.

"Although it's great that you have this heart!

But there's no need to be so impatient!

We have just experienced such an intense competition!

The seniors have just left and the new team has not started yet! "

"However, our strength is insufficient!

The strength of our entire team is not enough!

The team no longer has those reliable seniors!

The strongest playing field in the country is no longer there, and so is the ace.

Except for that guy Sendou, everyone else is still far behind!

Baseball is all about teamwork!

If there are no reliable hitters in front or behind Sendou, the opponent will not decide the outcome with Sendou!

If this continues, our generation will no longer say Summer-Spring Consecutive Championship!

Even Koshien entering next spring and summer is just a dream!

We cannot be the ones who hold us back, and we cannot let our seniors and Sendou those hard-hitters, King's dignity, face,... all that they finally obtained with great difficulty be wiped out!!

This summer our generation is basically trying to win!

Just add some attacks after they defeated the pitcher!

But in the Inajitsu battle, the Nishibo battle, the Kiryu battle, and the Kyoma battle, we basically didn't have any decent hits during the stalemate stages of the game!

Those reliable seniors are no longer here!!!

Could it be said at that time that if the team lost Sendou but did not lose, is it all our seniors' fault that we, the seniors, were holding us back?

It is precisely because we are weak that we must seize every minute and every second!

We have our generation to lead the team!

Instead of letting people say that it is Sendou who is carrying the load forward!

Absolutely... don't!! "Miyuki said, his fists clenched tightly, showing his unwillingness.

Kuramochi was greatly surprised by this. It can be said that he was so surprised that he forgot to respond after listening to Miyuki's long speech.

In Japan, it is etiquette to respond aloud from time to time when others are speaking to show that you are listening to what the other person is saying.

"This guy..." Kuramochi gritted his teeth and looked at the guy in front of him. Miyuki's words touched him greatly.

It reminded him of his poor performance against powerful enemies.

Looking back now, isn't my only contribution just defense and some Safety Bunt?

Miyuki is right, the seniors are no longer here, so they are needed to hit hits, pile up bases, and stand behind Sendou.

Let the opponent have to fight with the team's Main Gun instead of just walking.

"Now is not the time to relax!

This guy is already facing up to his shortcomings, and I can't lose!

You're right, the seniors are no longer here, and the new team needs our generation to lead it! "Thinking of this, Kuramochi sat down next to Miyuki.

"Add me in! I also want to see how I look like in these competitions!"

So the two of them continued to watch the video, specifically watching their irritating performance when they were playing.

"Fortunately, it's just a slight muscle strain. It seems like Sendou-kun has been very well behaved these days!

In this case, restorative exercises can begin in about a week.

Although the intensity cannot be high, it is okay to do some substitute fighting, and you can fully recover in about two weeks.

However, we are not completely sure yet. For safety reasons, let Sendou-kun check again after a week!

If there are no problems, you can start restorative training.

At present, depending on the situation, it can catch up with Autumn Tournament! "The doctor's words made Rei-chan relieved.

If this core is lost, the blow to Seidou will be much heavier.

After all, even third-year players still rely on his strength.

Just when the two went to the hospital for a check-up, a new round of battle for main selection had begun in the school.

"I'm going to swing! What about you?

If you still feel tired, take another day off today!

After all, practice for the new team's restart will only begin the day after tomorrow. "Maezono said to Kominato in the room.

"Senior Maezono?" Kominato didn't understand why the senior was so anxious. He didn't want to wait even for a day. He went to practice just after he came back from Osaka yesterday.

The two of them were in the same dormitory, and Kominato, who had just participated in the championship, was very exhausted physically and mentally. Maezono could understand this. Even if he did not play in the game, the mood and pressure on the bench were still different from those in the stands.

However,

"Looking at your expression, it looks like you don't understand!

Hum!

How enviable!

You who have been on the bench since the first grade will not understand the mood of these people in the stands!

After all, you are not that guy Sendou!

"Seeing Kominato's expression, Senior Maezono was still a little unhappy.

"Huh?" Kominato still looked confused.

"Even if I am misunderstood, I still want to say something!

There is a corner in my heart that has been waiting for this day!

Waiting for the day when the seniors leave the team!

Of course, during the game, I cheered for the team with all my strength, louder than anyone else!

But let's be honest!

I still want to play!

Next is our time!

When I thought about it, I cheered so much that I didn't even want to wait for a second!

We don't even want to perform poorly when it's our turn.

After all, we have already got Koshien Victory Banner, which is the real King! "After saying that, Maezono turned around and left.

When Kominato heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. Although he was on the bench, he still made no contribution to the team.

In this way, he is also similar to Senior Maezono.

"Wait a minute! Senior Maezono!

I want to go too! "

Hearing Kominato's voice, Maezono smiled happily.

Maezono and Kominato were the first to arrive, but Maezono, who originally wanted to train secretly, had his dream shattered soon after.

In addition to those who went home, the players who stayed in school came to train one after another. Now the rest time has been turned into indoor independent practice.

They are only one day later than Maezono.

The coach took Head Manager Oota and Coach Ochiai to see all this and felt very pleased.

Coach Ochiai is deeply moved by Seidou's inheritance of hard work and independence passed down from generation to generation.

However, Sawamura has not yet entered the state at this time, and his situation is even more serious than Xiaochun.

Unlike Xiaoharu who had little chance to play, Sawamura was at least on the board.

Especially on the final stage, Fighting Spirit showed tenacity.

I am naturally very tired mentally and need to rest.

When he was preparing to go to the canteen in the evening, he saw Furuya who had just finished running.

"Furuya!!!

Could it be that you... have been running?

Hello!!!

It's not good for you to sneak away like this! "

"I want to be... the ace of this team!!

Like Sendou-san, use that pitch... to lead the team to victory! "

Sendou Koshien The two people who shocked the most in the final pitch were Furuya and Hongo Masamune.

Hongo Masamune Regardless of what that guy thinks, it goes without saying.

Furuya It can be said that for that scene, it was like seeing the light.

That pitching and attitude that led the team!

It made his blood boil and wanted to follow in those footsteps, which became the motivation.

If Maezono is one day ahead of the second graders, Furuya is one day ahead of Maezono.

On the night after the Koshien celebration party, he ran late into the night.

Seeing that gesture made his blood boil so much that he couldn't sleep.

The pitching demonstrated by Sendou is, to a certain extent, what Furuya is pursuing.

After seeing that pitch, he seemed to understand immediately that his previous pursuit of just hearing his pitch enter the glove was a thing of the past.

Know what you are pursuing now!

That's a pitcher like Sendou in the last two innings!

A trump card that is deeply trusted by teammates!!!

Unknowingly, most of the players have new pursuits and cannot stand still!

During dinner, everyone knew about Sendou's injury.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sendou was a first-year player, the new team's outfield defense and line play were undoubtedly built around him.

How to increase the deterrence of Sendou in defense, and how to make Sendou more relaxed and happy to attack Batter's Box.

Coupled with the defensive strengthening of the shooting partner, this is the main topic of Seidou and how to win.

There is still one day left before the new team restarts, and the time for Seidou and Practice Match has basically been determined.

The next thing that needs to be decided is the choice of captain.

The players gathered together over dinner to discuss this.

After all, this group of people knows about training all day long and has nothing to talk about except baseball, so a little gossip is inevitable.

But compared with Gossip Tetsu, this is just drizzle.

However, there was no definite figure in the discussion.

Generally speaking, captains are regular candidates. Kuramochi, Miyuki, and Shirazu are all possible.

Maezono's personality is also quite suitable. Although he is careless and his brain is a bit unclear, he still has a general understanding.

Some people even think that Sendou will become the captain.

Although it is common for seniors to be captains, it is not impossible for juniors to do so, but they must have a very high degree of trust in the team.

Sendou is completely in line. Even if he is promoted out of the ordinary, no one will have any objections, whether it is inside or outside the school.

But it seems to Sendou that even if Miyuki's captain status is not absolute, it is absolutely impossible for him to become the captain.

Not to mention the recommendation of Captain Tetsu, this is almost a certainty.

After all, it's not like the seniors in the team are all incompetent.

What he didn't expect was that Captain Tetsu and even Isashiki, the vice-captains, both recommended Miyuki and Sendou!

The reason why Sendou is recommended is that although his character is rough, he is by no means irresponsible.

He likes to shirk responsibility and is very responsible.

These two points are not contradictory!

I don't want to be the person in charge because being in charge is tiring.

Why are you tired? Because if you are responsible, you have to do it well before you feel tired!!

So there is no contradiction between the two in Sendou.

So Seidou Captain and Vice-Captain's thoughts are clearly revealed!

"I heard Senior Chris say that last year's third graders unanimously elected Tetsu-san!

I often hear that if a team is led by a player who can serve as captain from the beginning, then this team will undoubtedly become a strong team!

In this case, among this year's team..." Kanemaru, who was in the same dormitory as Senior Chris, naturally had more to explain, so he turned to Sawamura and asked.

"Hey! Baka Village! Who do you think will be the captain?"

Kanemaru really doesn't have many friends in the team. Apart from a few people who were already together, Sawamura is the only one.

And the friendship between him and Sawamura, because Kanemaru is often beaten up, is very good, as the saying goes, it is an "iron" friendship!

"Me!!!"

"Huh?" Kanemaru looked confused.

"Haha!"

"What is this guy talking about?

I do believe what Sendou says! "

The people next to him discovered that their silly child was talking nonsense again, and laughed happily.

"The one who becomes the ace... is me!!!

The Ace of Aces! King of Aces!! "Sawamura pointed at Furuya and shouted suddenly.

"King...!" Only then did the others understand that it was the ultra-long reflex arc of Sawamura. They didn't know how long ago they had figured it out and explained it here.

After all, this guy never speaks according to the occasion.

Furuya was still fighting the food in front of him and had no time to pay attention to him.

Now Furuya cannot eat three bowls of rice, so he is at the stage where he can only eat as much as possible.

Fighting with concentration...

"Don't ignore me!" Sawamura wants to step forward to do something.

"Hey! Sit down quickly!

No one is talking about this kind of thing now! "Kanemaru Mama Stop him quickly to prevent this guy from doing anything else regardless of the occasion.

"Damn it! All we have to do is eat!

Koharu! Give me food! "Sawamura said unwillingly, wanting to turn grief and anger into appetite.

"Go get it yourself!"

Sawamura had no choice but to get up and serve the meal by himself.

"What should I have for snacks?" he said loudly while looking at Furuya while serving rice.

It seems to be showing off that I eat more than you and have better physical fitness than you!

"What happened? I ate a lot today!" Xiaochun asked Furuya.

Furuya just nodded and continued to fight with the rice.

For Furuya, eating is an important exercise in becoming an ace.

Physical strength requires energy, and energy can only be replenished by eating!!

"Ugh!"

Then I ate so hard that I choked!

"What's wrong! Furuya-kun!

It's okay!

Drink water quickly or you will choke to death!

Don't vomit! "Xiaochun noticed something strange, got up quickly, and hurriedly took care of Furuya.

I'm going to work hard tonight!

After resting all night, I realized that there were a lot of problems with the few hundred words I wrote yesterday, and they were basically rewritten. The state of my brain had a great impact. Fortunately, there was no cirrhosis yesterday, otherwise it would be difficult to change.
