Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 219 The Legendary Senior Dong

After the game, Qingdao High School and Yamamori Academy left the field together, and the remaining field was left for the next game between Troll Otojuku and Teito High School.

Although there are still three hours until the next game, the Koshien Organizing Committee still does not allow anyone to stay.

Besides, the game is over, there is no point in staying.

Staying here won't change the outcome of the game.

Yamamori Academy, which should be sad, is still Yamamori Academy, and Seidou High School, which should celebrate, can celebrate no matter where they go.

"Damn it! We didn't miss a single at-bat. We got all the hits."

When Kamijou Hedou left the field, he shed tears of unwillingness and took one last look at the field where he had fought so hard.

Kitayama, Uehara and several other third-year students also burst into tears.

Like everyone in Seidou High School, this year is their first time entering Koshien.

The difference is that this is the first time that Yamamori Academy has returned to Koshien after three years.

But this is also the first time for these third-year students to step onto the Koshien stage.

So there is no experience advantage at all in this regard.

This is the first time for everyone to come to Koshien.

The goal of the third-year students like Kitayama was actually very simple at the beginning. They would be satisfied as long as they could perform on the Koshien stage.

They didn't dare to force anything else.

Because their strength does not allow it.

But after entering Koshien and reaching the quarterfinals, they slowly started to win championships.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, it was ruthlessly shattered by Qingdao High School.

This sense of gap still makes them feel uncomfortable.

People are greedy.

"It's over. It's all over. Our summer is over."

Uehara covered his face with his hat, and the light of the Bluetooth headset was still flashing inside his ears.

As a third-year senior, he felt extremely upset after losing the game.

“This game was too dangerous.”

As soon as he came out, Kuramochi stretched lazily.

Although the game was tortuous, the final result was good.

They, Qingdao High School, waited until the flowers bloomed thousands of miles away.

"That's right, especially Yuto's home run. It really sank my heart."

Haruichi added.

"Yuto's home run?"

Akihiro Jōgiya suddenly stood still, and his aura field expanded once again.

Seeing that Akatsuki Fōtani suddenly refused to leave, Haruichi realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, Furuya-san."

Being able to be caught by the opponent when pitching to hit a home run is something that Akira Fōgani has never been able to accept.

He believes that with his talent, he is the best pitcher on the entire planet!

"Next time, I will definitely take revenge."

After muttering this, Fūya Akatsuki followed everyone from Seidou High School out of the Hanshin Tigers Koshien baseball stadium.

"Supervisor, what should we do now? Go back to the hotel and rest?"

Director Kataoka shook his head.

"There's no need for that. We'll have to come back soon to watch another semi-final. We don't have to go back, and we might not be able to make it in time."

Coach Kataoka is very concerned about the next game between Teito High School and the giant troll Otomaki.

Even if you don't catch up, you may only miss the first game, and at most no more than the third game.

It seems like Director Kataoka is eager to watch every game!

The ever-victorious Didong High School and the suddenly rising troll Daitojuan may become their toughest opponents in the next three years.

Especially Teito High School!
This is not to say that Teito High School is stronger than the Troll Daitojuan, but mainly because Teito High School is from East Tokyo.

In the future, whether it is the Spring Tournament or a series of other competitions such as the Kanto Conference, the two teams are likely to meet.

This is why we need to pay attention to Teito High School.

As for the Giant Giant Vine Scroll...

That would require Seidou High School to break out of West Tokyo, which is like a fierce battle zone, and fight in Koshien to have a chance of encountering that opportunity.

Although according to the current momentum, it will not be a problem for Seidou High School to make a difference in West Tokyo in three to four years.

But there is no general who always wins in West Tokyo.

The teams that have entered Koshien in recent years include Qingdao High School, City University High School, and Daocheng Industry.

Although the places are shared by these three teams, no team can enter Koshien three times in a row.

Even a traditional powerhouse like Qingdao High School only managed to grab a spot in Koshien this year thanks to Zhou Hui's joining.

Not to mention other teams.

In West Tokyo, there is no such thing as an invincible general.

It's not just about hard power, psychological tactics, and the ability to gather intelligence that are being compared, all of which require extensive consideration in West Tokyo.

Director Kataoka was just about to announce the next arrangements when he heard a hearty laugh.

The voice was very mature and carefree. Just by listening to the voice, you could tell it came from a fat middle-aged man.

"Hahahahahahahaha, Director Kataoka, long time no see."

When he heard someone calling him, Director Kataoka turned his head impatiently.

I thought it was another friend of mine in Hyogo Prefecture.

After Coach Kataoka led the team into Koshien, for some reason, a lot of unknown friends appeared on his mobile phone.

I can still remember the names of some of Director Kataoka, but I have no impression of many of them at all.

Even if Director Kataoka walks on the streets of Hyogo Prefecture, he will meet many people who claim to be his friends.

Director Kataoka, who he had an impression of, would say a few words to him, but Director Kataoka, who he had no impression of, would ignore him.

“Ahhhhhh, it’s that fat middle-aged uncle senior.”

Sawamura pointed behind Coach Kataoka and shouted.

Supervisor Kataoka had no intention of turning back and was ready to order Minister Ota to fire the men away, but after hearing Sawamura's shout, it seemed that things were not that simple.

Director Kataoka also looked back, and the figure looked very familiar to him.

A bloated body, fat on the face, and two front teeth that might be leaking.

If one person has all these qualities, it can be said that if he doesn't have any talent, he will be at the bottom of society.

But this kid is talented, and it’s not just one or two points.

"East."

After seeing the fat man in front of him, Director Kataoka called out his name.

The visitor is Senior Dong Qingguo from Qingdao High School.

"I didn't expect that you still remembered me, Director Kataoka."

Dong Qingguo didn't bother with Sawamura and put his arm around Director Kataoka's shoulders.

I originally wanted to use my own strength to stretch Director Kataoka's muscles, but when I hugged him, I felt that Director Kataoka's muscles were still as strong as before, so I gave up the idea.

"How could I not remember you? You are my most proud disciple."

Director Kataoka showed an unusual smile on his face.

When saying this, Director Kataoka's tone became very gentle.

"Not like the usual boss."

"Really? That would be great."

Dong Qingguo put his hands in his pockets, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

I never thought that these words would come out of Director Kataoka's mouth.

Although Dongqingguo's previous performance was horrible, his statistics were good and he was the top hitter in West Tokyo.

But Director Kataoka never praised him much and often said that he was not living up to expectations.

It turns out that he holds such an important position in Director Kataoka's heart.

"Senior Dong."

"Long time no see, Senior Dong." "I heard that Senior Dong has now made it to the professional baseball league."

"How is life in professional baseball, Higashi-senpai?"

"Ah? Huh?"

Sawamura's eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at this middle-aged man in front of him who looked like an uncle and had been struck out by him. He actually entered the professional baseball league?
Seeing Sawamura's surprised expression, Takashima Rei immediately walked forward and put her mouth close to Sawamura's ear.

"Didn't I tell you before? Dong is the pride of our Qingdao High School. He has already received the olive branch of professional baseball."

"Is that right?"

"Oh, it's you guys. Long time no see."

Hearing the teammate who once fought side by side with him greeting him, Dong Qingguo also waved and walked over.

"I've seen your strength, you've improved a lot! You've already made it to the Koshien finals, and I'm happy for you too."

"Thank you, Senior Dong."

"Chris, are you feeling better?"

After seeing Chris, Dong Qingguo changed the subject and immediately became serious.

Since Dongqing knew Chris, he had been injured almost every year except in the first grade.

Although he was a talented catcher, he was so eager to enter Koshien that he trained without restraint, which led to him injuring his shoulder in the most promising year and he had to take a year off.

But fortunately, he still fulfilled his dream of Koshien.

Unlike himself, Chris actually entered Koshien.

Sometimes, Dongqing Kingdom still envies Chris.

But I don't envy his experience of being injured.

“Maybe he’ll be able to play in the next game.”

Chris replied.

Dong Qingguo nodded.

"That's good. If you play, Qingdao High School will definitely have a chance to win the championship."

"What are you talking about? We can definitely win the championship! Senior Dong!"

Isajiki Jun shouted.

"After all these years, you still look like this."

Dong Qingguo looked at Isajiki Jun with disdain.

During the whole process, Yukichi didn't say a word.

When he heard that Chris would be available for the next game, he knew his chances were slim.

Compared to him, Chris is definitely the better one.

Now that Chris has made the first team this year, what hope does he have to compete for the starting catcher position?

Dong Qingguo chatted with his former teammates one by one, and coach Kataoka just let them do it.

He didn't expect that Dongqing Kingdom could come.

"Ryosuke, is your chest okay?"

Ryosuke gave a bitter smile, as if he didn't want to mention this matter.

“I may not be able to play in the next game.”

Dong Qingguo smacked his lips and expressed his regret.

"But I see your brother is doing pretty well, so just focus on recovering from your injuries."

As he spoke, Dong Qingguo ruffled Haruichi's hair.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous when such a big guy suddenly touched my hair.

Haruichi didn't dare to move at all.

"Senior Dong, please stop being like this. Didn't you see that Haruichi didn't dare to move?"

"Is that right?"

Dong Qingguo immediately took his hand away and began to look around at the other members of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"It's him."

Dong Qingguo's eyes immediately narrowed into slits and looked at Sawamura in the corner.

That's him! He kept laughing at himself! He even struck out himself!
First-year pitcher, Eijun Sawamura!
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be admitted to the first army this year. You are quite capable."

Toshinori looked at Sawamura and said.

Sawamura was very friendly with everyone, completely forgetting the unpleasantness that had occurred between the two of them, and walked straight over.

"I also didn't expect that the person I struck out could make it to the pros, ahahahahahaha."

As he spoke, Sawamura slapped Dong Qingguo on his big belly.

"Sawamura, don't be so rude!"

Minister Ota yelled.

Although many players who graduated from Seidou High School entered the professional field, the one who has the greatest chance of becoming famous and leaving his name in the history of baseball in the island nation is probably Tosei Koku.

But Sawamura's behavior towards Dongqing Country right from the start really drove Minister Ota a little crazy.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Dong Qingguo didn't care and grabbed Sawamura's shoulders, exerting force secretly.

"I'm very optimistic about you. You must show me how successful you are."

Sawamura felt his shoulder getting more and more painful, and even lost consciousness.

"Okay...I won't...I won't let you down, Senior Dong."

Sawamura said while enduring the pain.

You actually took revenge in public, Senior Dong, you really have no moral principles!
The time was almost right, and the Dongqing Kingdom also loosened its grip.

"It's scary."

Next, Dongqingguo came to Yuki.

When he was playing for Seidou High School, Yuki was his most admired player.

At that time, he was the only sophomore player who could pose a threat to his fourth bat.

"Yuuki, it feels good to be the fourth batter."

Dong Qingguo said with his hands in his pockets.

Because Dongqingguo plays professional baseball, he rarely watches Qingdao High School's games.

I came to see Koshien today because it’s the professional baseball off-season.

He usually rarely pays attention to Qingdao High School's lineup, and he didn't even pay attention today.

He didn't listen to what was said on the broadcast at all. He just watched whoever was on the field and had no idea about the ranking of Seidou High School.

So he had no idea that the fourth batter of Qingdao High School had changed.

"I am no longer the fourth batter, Senior Dong. The fourth batter is that junior."

Yuki pointed his finger in Zhou Hui's direction.

The Eastern Qing Kingdom was shocked.

Even someone as strong as Yuki is not the fourth batter of Seidou High School. What magic do they have this year!
Dong Qingguo looked back in shock.

Handsome face, slender body, and strong muscles.

Zhou Hui!

"He is Zhou Hui, a freshman in our class. He is also our fourth batter, an international student from China."

Yuuki introduced.

Zhou Hui was also shocked when he saw the Dongqing Kingdom in front of him.

When he was in high school, Zhou Hui also loved watching high school games.

The most watched game is that of Seidou High School.
