Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 106 Qingdao leaders come in person
"I'm sorry, Masuko-senpai. Although I really want to help you, I'm still unable to do so right now. But please wait a little longer. I'll be able to help you after Koshien starts."

Zhou Hui politely rejected Zeng ZiToru's request, but still gave him a promise, saying that Koshien would be enough.

"Ok."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zeng Zito's eyes, but when he heard Zhou Hui speak so confidently, he still chose to believe him.

Zhou Hui doesn't seem like the kind of person who tells lies or goes back on his word.

……

The next day.

"It's finally here."

The main gate of Qingdao High School.

Minister Ota has already prepared two buses for the arrival.

Now everything is ready, all we have to do is set off!

Although there was a small incident last night that made Toru Masuko disappointed, his condition was not affected at all and he remained full of confidence.

He is an important hitter for Seidou High School and he absolutely cannot lose his form at this time.

He plays a decisive role in whether Seidou High School can enter Koshien.

"Everyone, I don't want to say anything more today. I believe everyone knows how important today's game is. We lost to Daocheng at this time last year. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake today. We must get those damn Koshien tickets! Do you understand?"

"Understand!"

The voice of Seidou High School reached the clouds, and it seemed that the shouts of Seidou High School could be heard in every corner of Koshien.

"Very good. This match will change the outside world's view of us. We are not a fake giant that has not been able to enter Koshien for five years. From now on, the legend of West Tokyo will be written by us, Qingdao High School!"

"understand!"

"Hum hum."

It seemed as if air was coming out of Jun Isashiki's nostrils, looking magical.

Koshien is also his dream!

"Yuuki."

"Yes!"

Everyone from Qingdao High School gathered together and formed a circle.

Then, there was their final cheering before the game.

Who are we?

"King Qingdao!"

"Who sweats more than anyone else?"

"Qingdao!"

"Who has shed more tears than anyone else?"

"Qingdao!"

"Are you ready for battle?!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"I swear on the dignity of our school that our only goal is to be number one in the country! Go!"

"Oooooohhhhhhhh!"

Every slogan is not just ordinary words and cannot be completed by just opening and closing your mouth.

These are their resolutions.

The last sentence, No. 1 in the country, has always been the goal of Qingdao High School!

"boarding!"

Following Coach Kataoka's order, all the players of Seidou High School followed and boarded the Seidou High School bus.

"Director Kataoka."

Director Kataoka was just about to get on the car when a familiar voice came from behind him.

Although his voice is very old, I still feel awe when I hear it.

"Principal Mori, Director Hayashi?" Supervisor Kataoka turned around and unexpectedly saw Principal Mori Changping and Director Hayashi Shinichi of Qingdao High School rushing over.

It is really rare to see the two of them escorting the Qingdao High School baseball team to a game.

Neither was present last summer or fall.

Last summer, Qingdao High School also reached the finals, and their opponent was also Daocheng Industry.

After Coach Sakaki Hideo chose to resign from Seidou High School, Principal Mori and Director Hayashi no longer paid as much attention to the Seidou High School baseball team.

Because at that time, Qingdao High School had no outstanding achievements.

After coach Kataoka took office, the two of them no longer cared so much about Seidou High School.

The only time Seidou High School, coached by Kataoka, entered Koshien was in the first year after coach Sakaki Hideo resigned.

At that time, they were all disciples taught by Coach Sakaki Hideo, and Coach Kataoka was the type who could enter Koshien just by relying on his background.

Therefore, Director Kataoka was once looked down upon by the outside world.

The reason why the two of them came to escort Qingdao High School this year was undoubtedly because of Zhou Hui.

If it weren't for Zhou Hui, the two of them would definitely not be willing to come.

Zhou Hui's joining gave the two men hope that Qingdao High School could return to Koshien.

If Zhou Hui was not there and the lineup was still the same, with only the addition of Sawamura, Fūya Akira, and Haruichi, and the loss of Tosei Koku and Chris, it would be very dangerous for Seidou High School to enter Koshien.

But with Zhou Hui, this is not necessarily the case.

Zhou Hui was the top junior high school student in the country. After entering high school, he had no problems with acclimatization and transitioned seamlessly and adapted very quickly. His playing stats were also very explosive.

It can be said that this time the two of them came for Zhou Hui.

"If we don't make it to Koshien this year, it will be six years since we last made it to Koshien. We must work hard!"

Director Lin patted Supervisor Kataoka on the shoulder.

Director Lin's EQ must be very low as he brought up the past and said such discouraging words before the final.

Supervisor Kataoka has always been humble next to Director Lin.

The first reason is that Director Lin is Supervisor Kataoka’s leader and determines Supervisor Kataoka’s job.

The second reason is that Coach Kataoka’s leadership ability is really not that good.

He had never achieved any results with the Qingdao High School baseball team, so he could only endure the teasing from Director Lin silently.

"Director Lin, what are you saying? The children are about to compete. Saying such things is really demoralizing."

Principal Sen could tell the good and bad words right away.

After so many years of struggling in the society, if he still can't understand good words and bad words, then his position as the principal of Qingdao High School is indeed a bit unworthy.

"Kataoka, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. He has no emotional intelligence and his words are not pleasant to listen to. You must try your best in today's game. No matter the result is good or bad, no matter whether we enter Koshien this year or not, as long as you give your all, you are great."

"Okay principal."

"Hahahahahahahaha, okay, hurry up and go up."

Principal Mori said to Supervisor Kataoka.

Principal Sen speaks much nicer than Director Lin.

Everything he said was to boost morale, and Qingdao High School felt comfortable listening to it.

But only Coach Kataoka was listening. The students from Qingdao High School had already boarded the bus, and they had no idea what Director Lin or Principal Mori was saying.

Director Kataoka also boarded the bus.

Faced with the expectations of the two elders, Director Kataoka felt it was his responsibility.

We must win this game and enter Koshien.

It is his duty as Supervisor Kataoka!
"Everyone, Principal Mori and Director Lin are here just now. In order to live up to their expectations, we must enter Koshien this time. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

When the students of Qingdao High School heard that Director Lin and Principal Mori had such high expectations for them, their confidence naturally increased.

At this point, entering Koshien is no longer for themselves!
