Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 128 Hyogo Prefecture! Koshien!
The day before Koshien opens.

The students of Qingdao High School were ready at ten o'clock in the morning.

Today they will set off for Hyogo Prefecture, where the Koshien will be held.

The Koshien is held every year in Hyogo Prefecture.

The main venue of Koshien is also located at the home stadium of the local professional baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers.

There are thirty-two teams participating in Koshien this year, all of which are the best in their respective regions.

These 32 teams will compete for the final championship in 14 days of competition.

It can be said that each of them came here for the final championship.

There will only be a few Koshien events in a lifetime, and now that they are here, they will try their best.

The day before the opening ceremony, Seidou High School was ready to travel to Hyogo Prefecture.

Because the Koshien schedule is very tight, there is a game almost every two days.

What’s even more fatal is that the first game will start after the opening ceremony.

Because of Koshien, countless baseball fans come to Hyogo Prefecture from all directions every year just to catch a glimpse of Koshien.

So in order to catch up on time, Qingdao High School also has to work hard.

Otherwise, they might become the first team in history to be late for the opening ceremony of Koshien.

Qingdao High School is relatively good. Some teams even prepare to set off three days in advance.

The influence of Koshien is so huge that it is still unknown whether the traffic on the road will be smooth.

"Everyone get on the bus now. We are heading to Hyogo Prefecture. The school has already arranged a hotel for us. The school will also provide you with the best services in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Each of you is carrying the school's hopes. The whole school is looking forward to seeing you."

Supervisor Kataoka said to the students seriously.

Even though they have entered Koshien, they still cannot relax.

"Yes!"

This time, Seidou High School spent a lot of money to have its baseball team enter Koshien.

Seidou High School will enter Koshien and stay there for fourteen days. They are responsible for more than just the food, clothing, housing and transportation of their classmates.

The cheerleading team and the second team will go with the first team students.

This is not a small adjustment fee.

Besides, the hotel where Seidou High School is staying is in the city center of Hyogo Prefecture.

The cost has gone up another level.

After seeing the reservation, the hotel owner was even more delighted and even wanted to ask Qingdao High School whether he wanted to book the entire hotel.

But about the same.

The rooms booked by Qingdao High School account for two-thirds of the entire hotel.

This is only the case for Qingdao High School. For other teams, they would not even dare to think about it.

After getting on the bus, the students from Qingdao High School also began to chatter and discuss.

Zhou Hui still sat with Chris.

Chris has almost recovered, and there is no problem for him to go to Koshien with Seidou High School.

If you can't play, you can also act as a "lifesaver" in the locker room.

No matter what, they are indispensable to Qingdao High School.

Everyone in the car was very excited. This was their first time to enter Koshien, and they didn’t know how to describe their feelings.

"If we hadn't been put in the group of death, we should have been able to reach the quarterfinals this time."

Itai spoke first.

He never made it to Koshien once in his three years at Seidou High School. This time he knew that the opportunity was hard to come by, so he didn't have any big goals, as long as he could make it to the quarterfinals.

He doesn't have the ambitions that other people have.

Even though he was once an important batting rotation player for Qingdao High School and his number was so high, that was all in the past.

He used to be a powerful figure, but with the arrival of Zhou Hui, everything that belonged to him was taken away.

Although Qingdao High School entered Koshien after Zhou Hui came, he was somewhat uncomfortable without his main players.

"Itai, what do you mean? Are you satisfied with the quarterfinals? This is our first year in Koshien! It's also our last year. If we don't win a championship, will you be content, you bastard?"

Isajiki Jun shouted immediately.

He has always had a bad temper and doesn't like to hear any depressing words.

Ban Jing's words really ignited his anger.

"No, no, I mean..."

"Okay, stop arguing. All the strong teams in the country are in Koshien. They are not like regional tournaments where only strong teams from West Tokyo are present. So all we can do is try our best and leave no regrets."

Yuki immediately acted as a peacemaker.

"So what? We finally made it to Koshien, we have to take the championship away!"

Isajiki Jun became more and more excited as he spoke.

"You can't win a championship if you're this crazy. Just hit a few less high fly balls that the outfielders can see at a glance. That's not too much to ask."

Ryosuke teased Isashiki Jun with a smile.

"What do you mean? You should take care of yourself!"

Isajiki Jun was speechless and didn't know how to refute.

Ryosuke is that kind of person.

What he said could take you a long time to organize, but it seemed completely inappropriate for this occasion.

As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Director Kataoka didn't care about them either.

They are all boys, so it's normal for them to be so irritable.

Who's teenage years don't have some bumps and bruises.

At this age, it is normal for boys to have bad tempers, smoke, drink and fight.

Director Kataoka also came from that period, and he understands boys' personalities better than anyone else.

But precisely because of this, Director Kataoka was so harsh on them, in order to save them and prevent them from going astray.

If it weren't for Seidou High School, Kuramochi and Isashiki Jun might have become those little gangsters on the street.

After discussing for a long time, the students were exhausted and most of them fell asleep.

Even Zhou Hui is no exception.

Although he looked very serious, entering Koshien did make him excited for a while.

Because of this, he didn't even fall asleep yesterday, so it's normal for him to be sleeping soundly now.

After a while, with the shaking caused by the driver's brakes, Yijun's classmates woke up one after another.

to the place!

"Reached?"

Zhou Hui rubbed his swollen eyes and looked at the scene outside the window.

They were now in the city center of Hyogo Prefecture, near the hotel where they were staying.

This is the most prosperous area in the entire Hyogo Prefecture. Because of the opening of Koshien, there are many elements about Koshien here.

This time of year is the busiest time in Hyogo Prefecture.

"Koshien? It's finally here."

Zhou Hui clenched his fists.

He thought about this scene countless times.
