Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 11 It’s my turn
The rookie test for Qingdao High School has officially begun.

All the newcomers began to be eager to try, and Kanamaru Shinji felt that no one could be his opponent.

Zhou Hui is famous, but his strength is also not to be underestimated.

He is not the kind of person who is easily bullied!

His competitive spirit is no less than anyone else!

This newcomer test is just a set of data and will not have much impact.

Since the establishment of Qingdao High School, no one has been able to enter the first team directly after the rookie test.

A newcomer test really doesn't mean anything.

Even if you get first place in all three subjects in the rookie test, it is just a useless title.

If you just get first place in the first-grade group but your ability is not particularly outstanding, you will not have a chance to enter the first team.

Junior high school competitions and high school competitions are not on the same level.

Getting first place in three events only means that you can have a good rotation position in the second team and have the opportunity to sit on the bench of the first team next year.

That's it.

What Qingdao High School has the most is junior high school stars.

Qingdao High School's first team is not just a game.

You need to have real strong strength.

If you really want to be promoted to the first army in your first year, you will have the opportunity.

It's just a slim chance.

Need to seize the opportunity.

The first one is the welcome match held by Qingdao High School every year.

It's probably the first grade against the second grade.

This kind of competition is usually held after the spring competition.

The purpose is to tap into the combat effectiveness of the first-year students and focus on their training.

But every year the harvest is extremely dismal.

The strength of the first-year students and the second-year students is very different. In addition, they have not undergone high school training, so there are generally not many who can be trained as future core members.

It was nothing more than a formality, becoming an "experience package" for the Second Army and helping them build up self-confidence.

This is one of their uses.

Words like discovering new people and cultivating talents are just polite words.

That's not their intention at all.

No one has any expectations for first-year students.

But this is also their best chance to enter the first team in the early stage of their first year.

Someone can still seize the opportunity.

For example, there was Kazuya Miyuki.

Kazuya Miyuki is the current starting catcher for Seidou High School and is one of the candidates for the next captain of Seidou High School.

When he was in junior high school, he showed extraordinary strength and was even hailed as the "savior of Qingdao High School."

But there may not be only one Yuki among a hundred people.

Most of the first graders are not destined to have this fate.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Jinwan shouted at the top of his voice and began waving his arms.

"Qiang!"

Kanemaru is definitely a rare gain for Qingdao High School this year.

He is the fourth batter of the Matsukata youth baseball team. His hitting ability is self-evident, and there are few people in the entire first grade who can compete with him.

Perhaps apart from his team's ace pitcher Tojo, there is only Zhou Hui.

But Jin Wan and Zhou Hui are definitely not on the same level.

Zhou Hui is the fourth batter at the national level, while Jin Wan is only the fourth batter of one of the top four teams in a regional conference.

Although Jin Wan's strength is not weak and he is one of the best in the first grade, he is indeed inferior to Zhou Hui.

"61 meters!" shouted the seniors standing in the outfield. They were responsible for measuring the results.

"Tsk, is that all?"

Jin Wan curled his lips with a bit of disdain. It was obvious that this was not his true level.

The reason why Kanemaru was able to gain a foothold in Matsukata youth baseball and become an absolute main force is inseparable from his batting ability and outstanding defensive ability.

"Don't be so cocky. If I use all my strength, you won't even be able to touch me."

This time, Seidou High School's batting test used the second-team relief pitcher, Masumi Makihara.

Although he is a relief pitcher, he is a relief pitcher for the second team after all. He is already in his third year this year and is considered a veteran.

At the very least, he has already been working hard in Qingdao High School for three years, and his strength is definitely far beyond these first-year kids.

So what Masumi Makihara said definitely makes sense.

The reason why he was knocked so far away by Kanemaru was because of the order of Supervisor Kataoka.

This time it is a test for newcomers, not for him to come and seek attention.

Coach Kataoka has already said that his pitching speed can only be controlled at around 130km/h, which is also the basic pitching speed for junior high school students.

He wanted to see what kind of performance these players could produce at the most basic ball speed.

This ball speed is not a problem for the big stars of their respective teams.

Just to see who can hit the ball farther.

Of course, there were also many players who were not good at hitting or were nervous during the first test and did not achieve satisfactory results.

These would undoubtedly not catch the eye of Director Kataoka.

Everyone only has one chance, which is a great test of one's mental quality.

The strike test is the last of the three tests.

In the first two tests, the best results were achieved by Kanemaru and Tojo of Matsukata Youth Baseball Team.

At that time, everyone agreed that they would go to the city's third high school, and no one thought that they would come to Qingdao High School.

For a player who is favored by the city's third high school, coming to Qingdao High School does have the meaning of a dimensionality reduction attack.

Even though they are all stars in various places, their brilliance is overshadowed by these two people.

Currently, Kanemaru is first in base running and batting, and Tojo is first in pitching.

Both of them showed a promising future.

Zhou Hui's results are not as outstanding as the legend says, but just average.

This came as a bit of a surprise to everyone.

He was the fourth runner-up in the national championship and was also spotted by several prestigious schools, including the city's third high school.

Logically speaking, he should be above Tojo and Kanemaru.

"Is there no suitable candidate for training?"

Seeing that Director Kataoka was looking unhappy, Director Ota asked.

Now most of Qingdao High School's main lineup is supported by third-year students.

This summer is their last dance in high school, and Seidou High School must find someone to replace them.

Coach Kataoka felt that the second and third graders of this year's second team were not that strong, so he set his sights on this year's first graders.

If there is no one who impresses him among this year's freshmen, then Qingdao High School will officially enter a period of lack of young talents.

Director Kataoka shook his head.

"They all have a bright future, but they are not ready to fight immediately."

"Then let's go now. The First Army is still waiting for you to assign tasks."

"hold on."

Director Kataoka looked towards the venue, as if he was waiting for something.

"Next, Zhou Hui."

"Finally it's my turn!"
