Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 254 Captain and Vice Captain

Chapter 254 Captain and Vice Captain
"stop!"

With a roar from Coach Kataoka, Seidou High School's warm-up training ended.

Qingdao High School's warm-up training was not too intense, just ten laps of jogging, which was not challenging at all.

"Kuramochi, remember to make up the remaining two laps after you finish your training."

"Yes."

Kuramochi's face was filled with embarrassment.

I thought Director Kataoka had forgotten about this, but I didn't expect his memory was so good.

Kuramochi had just completed his training at Koshien to challenge Coach Kataoka's training two days ago, but now he has a new task.

It is really not easy to hold warehouses.

"It's too awful."

Looking at Kuramochi's appearance, Zhou Hui couldn't help but feel sympathy.

But it's more about schadenfreude.

I deserve it for letting you laugh at me.

Supervisor Kataoka heard Zhou Hui's soft voice, but ignored him and pretended he heard nothing.

Coach Kataoka's preference for Zhou Hui is nothing new in Qingdao High School.

In the words of Coach Kataoka: If you can hit two home runs in a game, then I will also favor you.

But almost no one in Qingdao High School can do this now.

Ever since those third-year seniors retired, Seidou High School's batting line has been greatly weakened.

Only Zhou Hui can do it.

Yukichi is still a little bit off.

Now, in the batting line-up of Seidou High School, even the second-team player Maezono, who was just promoted from the second team, is a main player.

(Zhou Hui and others are still in the first grade now, and they will become the second grade after the autumn conference.)
The wiring also needs to be rearranged.

The fourth runner-up will definitely be Zhou Hui.

But the other two center batting positions need careful consideration.

There are now three people who are worthy of these two positions, and there must be trade-offs among them.

The three people are: Kenta Maezono, Kazuya Miyuki and Haruichi Kominato.

There is no need to say more about Yukichi.

If there was no monster like Zhou Hui, the fourth baton position should have been his.

He has this ability.

Although his hitting ability has always been criticized because of whether there is anyone on the base, it cannot be denied that his hitting ability is really not weak.

What's more, Qingdao High School no longer has so many competitors.

The last year's Qingdao High School could really be described as a team of shining stars.

From the third to the seventh batter, they all have excellent hitting ability.

Kuramochi, the first batter, and Ryosuke, the second batter, are both hitters with their own characteristics.

Hakushu, who was in eighth place, only reached that position because he was low-key and had too many competitors.

His striking ability is not as weak as imagined.

It was only because Seidou High School's batting lineup was so strong that year that Hakushu's ability seemed inadequate.

You know, Hakushu is the fourth batter in youth baseball.

He was once a rising star.

It's not just Hakushu. Most of the players who have just been promoted from Seidou High School were once the fourth batters in youth baseball.

At worst, it's still the center line.

Only when they came to Qingdao High School did they realize that there are always people better than you.

Not to mention the fourth baton.

They would be thankful if they could even get into the starting lineup, have stable playing time, or even make it into the first team.

Anyone who stands out in a top team like Seidou High School must be the strongest among the strong.

Zhou Hui is such a person.

"Next, let me announce the new captain of our Qingdao High School."

Coach Kataoka suddenly became serious, and everyone in Qingdao High School fell silent. No one dared to speak anymore, and it seemed that even a pin drop could be heard.

The corners of Takashima Rei's mouth curled up. The most important moment was coming.

The captain is the spiritual leader of a team and an indispensable part of the team.

Only when the captain is good can the whole team become a king of lions.

Seidou High School, which just won the Koshien championship, is a good example.

Their captain is not bad at all.

Yuuki Tetsuya!

Captain Yuki is sometimes not as good as Zhou Hui in terms of striking, or even worse than him.

But the power to unite the team into one is something that no one else can do, only he can do it.

This is the trust other players have in him.

Strength is one part, and the other part is leadership.

It doesn't mean that the strongest player can become the captain of the team.

Otherwise, the captain of Daocheng Industrial this year would be Cheng Gongming.

But Qingdao High School is different.

Zhou Hui is not only strong, but also has what a leader should have. Apart from his qualifications, everything else he exudes makes him the perfect choice for captain.

Many times, when Qingdao High School was behind in the score, or the score was deadlocked, Zhou Hui led the team to catch up or even overtake.

His leadership style is truly self-evident.

But in terms of qualifications, he is indeed not as good as Miyuki.

Miyuki is not only the brains of the team's defense, but also the main catcher who is about to enter the third year.

In this regard, Yukichi is more qualified than Zhou Hui.

This put Director Kataoka in a dilemma.

But this is Seidou High School after all, and strength is the first priority for Coach Kataoka.

In other words, the captain had already been determined when Zhou Hui joined the team, otherwise Zhou Hui might really have become the captain of Qingdao High School in the summer.

Although he does not have Yuki's qualifications, his leadership and strength are convincing enough.

Strength comes first, everything else can take a backseat.

This is Director Kataoka’s idea.

After all, in a real competition, people only look at your strength.

How strong your leadership ability is is just an objective factor.

If the competition is about leadership ability, it would be better to let the president of Qingdao High School Student Union participate in the competition.

"The new captain is Zhou Hui."

When this name came out, Zhou Hui himself couldn't believe it.

As a player who is just about to enter the second grade, can he really take on such a difficult task?
Of course Zhou Hui had thought that he could become the captain.

It was just that it was when he was in the third grade, he hadn't thought it would be so early.

"is that OK?"

"no!"

Zhou Hui just reacted.

It was unexpected and a little surprising.

Now, he can have a legitimate identity to manage that kid Kuramochi!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hui felt happy.

On the contrary, Kuramochi was not happy.

Now that this guy has become the captain, he can bully Sawamura from now on.

"As for the vice-captain, I'll leave it to Kuramochi and Miyuki."

There is no big controversy about this.

After all, they are the two most experienced and strongest players in the current first team.
