Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 253 New teammates

Early the next morning.

At the training ground of Qingdao High School, the students of the new first team have gathered.

Zhou Hui came out with dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.

Yesterday, he chatted with Senior Fujiwara for the entire night.

Because it was his first time falling in love, he was so excited that he forgot he had training the next day.

The two had exchanged numbers for a long time, but Zhou Hui had always forgotten.

After all, before this, Senior Fujiwara had always been a very unimportant person to him.

If Fujiwara-senpai hadn't called him yesterday, he might have forgotten that he had exchanged numbers with his girlfriend.

Seeing Zhou Hui's look, Watanabe next to Director Kataoka burst out laughing.

He heard everything that happened between him and Senior Fujiwara yesterday.

At the beginning, Zhou Hui was very shy and couldn't speak freely.

But gradually, the content of the chats between Zhou Hui and Senior Fujiwara became more and more ambiguous.

Everything from how to fall in love with each other to where to buy a school district house in the future is mentioned.

But Watanabe fell asleep halfway through and didn't listen so carefully.

"Zhou Hui, what happened to you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Supervisor Kataoka looked around at the students who were promoted to the first group, but his eyes fell on Zhou Hui.

The dark circles under his eyes were too obvious.

Kuramochi also smiled evilly and looked at Zhou Hui.

This is what happens when you fall in love!
After knowing that Zhou Hui was in love, Kuramochi was very envious and wanted to teach this guy a lesson.

After all, when he found the chat records between Sawamura and Wakana, he gave Sawamura a beating, not to mention that Zhou Hui had already confirmed the relationship.

In other words, Jun Isashiki is not here.

If Kuramochi was alone, Zhou Hui might still have a chance of fighting, but if two of them were together, Zhou Hui would be no match at all.

"No, I'm fine."

Zhou Hui said while trying hard to resist the urge to sleep.

Kuramochi standing next to him still had a gloating expression on his face, and he was almost laughing out loud.

Naturally, his behavior could not escape the sharp eyes of Supervisor Kataoka.

Director Kataoka was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

What he wants is military-style management, not the kind of free and undisciplined approach where people can do whatever they want.

"Kuramochi will run two more laps later. Start warming up now."

After hearing what Director Kataoka said, Zhou Hui couldn't help but say, "Director Kataoka is wise!"
Kuramochi also paid the price for his lack of seriousness.

While warming up and running, Zhou Hui's little eyes were looking around, looking at the group of new teammates.

From now on, these people will be their comrades fighting side by side!

Running in the front were Hideaki Tojo and Shinji Kanamaru, two first-year runners.

Both of them were once the main players of Matsukata Youth Baseball Team and are also the best among this year's first-year students.

When Qingdao High School announced the list of first-year students, besides Zhou Hui, these two were the most eye-catching.

But what was unexpected was that in the end, Akira Furuya, Sawamura and Haruichi suddenly appeared halfway through and let the supporters of Seidou High School know who the real freshman vitality of Seidou High School is.

This also led to the two super rookies who were making waves in youth baseball being gradually ignored.

Maybe this time, people should remember these two figures from Qingdao High School.

But I just remembered this number.

After all, the two of them had just entered the first team, and Higasa Shoji was only the third-year bald guy on the team.

As for Jin Wan, due to his strength and qualifications, he is only qualified to be his substitute.

But now, Kanemaru is already the first substitute for the third baseman of Seidou High School and the first choice for pinch hitter of Seidou High School.

Although the new lineup of Qingdao High School has not even played a practice game, this is the idea of ​​coach Kataoka. Higasa's position is shortstop.

But because the shortstop of Seidou High School is Koshien champion shortstop Kuramochi, he naturally did not have this opportunity.

In order to get more playing time in the future, he had to settle for the second best and become the team's third baseman.

It's not like Higasa knows nothing about the third base position.

I can only say that compared to the shortstop, it is not as familiar.

After looking at Jinwan, Zhou Hui set his sights on Tojo again.

Tojo is one of the "Matsukata Twins" along with Kanamaru.

But after entering the First Army, his position became somewhat uncomfortable.

His original position is pitcher, but Seidou High School's pitching group has already been tested and they are not short of people.

Sawamura, Fūya Akira and Kawakami are enough to support the pitching team of Seidou High School.

They don't need another pitcher.

This is why Tojo was the only pitcher recruited this time.

There is really no shortage of it.

If Tojo continued to be a pitcher, he would definitely have no future.

Compared with the three pitchers of Seidou High School, his pitching ability is really too average.

There's nothing outstanding about it.

Four simple words: "not worth mentioning".

But his striking ability and arm strength are still quite good.

He has the potential to become an excellent center fielder.

After all, didn’t Jun Isashiki also switch from being a pitcher at that time?
This is not a bad idea.

It depends on what choice Tojo makes.

Currently, Seidou High School is still lacking an outfielder.

If Tojo is willing to come, that position will definitely be given to him.

It's just a question of whether he is willing or not.

After all, the pitcher's mound is a place that attracts a lot of attention, while the outfielders are a place that almost no one pays attention to.

Apart from these two, most of the people entering the second team are sophomores.

After all, compared to the first-years, they have been in Qingdao High School longer and have more experience.

This is also the process for many Qingdao High School players.

Many players of Seidou High School enter the first team in the fall of their sophomore year.

Only very few occur in the fall of the first grade, and even fewer occur in the summer of the first grade.

Kenta Zenzono, Aso Zun, and Naomichi Seki.

Not to mention how outstanding their high school career was, at least in their junior high school career, they were among the best.

On the side, Rei Takashima stood next to Coach Kataoka and watched the students of Seidou High School warm up.

"Coach Kataoka, regarding first-year student Kaneda and second-year student Kawashima, they are both very promising pitchers. Would you like to consider it?"

Takashima Rei asked.

Once bitten, twice shy.

This is not empty talk.

Seidou High School declined because it had no pitcher. Takashima Rei must not let the same story happen again.

Coach Kataoka shook his head, he thought these pitchers were enough.

"Has the supervisor decided on the captain?"
