Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 329: Senior Tamba
"I haven't finished talking yet, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhou Hui and Tamba walking away, Isajiki Jun immediately became unhappy.

The purpose of his coming today is to educate these younger classmates on what to do in order to achieve good results in the competition three days later.

To put it bluntly, it's just encouragement.

Because from what Isajiki Jun said, it can be heard that he didn't say anything about tactics or play, he just shouted some words of encouragement with his thick voice.

"Zhou Hui and I have something to do, so just continue to arrange tactics for the juniors."

"Isn't Zhou Hui also a junior? If he stays, there won't be many opportunities for him to interact with professional players."

Zhou Hui felt embarrassed for a moment. Looking at the arrogant Isajiki Jun, he really didn't want to say anything that would embarrass him.

He is someone who has fought against pitchers like Tanaka Masahiro, so maybe in his eyes, Isashiki Jun is not really a big name.

I helped him win the only Koshien championship, and now you are trying to control me?
Without paying any attention to him, Zhou Hui and Tamba walked out together, leaving Isajiki Jun alone in the cafeteria, feeling furious.

After closing the cafeteria door, Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Isajiki Jun really made him feel a little scared.

Judging from his expression and that sandbag-sized fist, Zhou Hui was really afraid of getting hit in the face.

"I'm afraid those junior students will have a hard time."

Danbo said lightly, then he turned his head and looked, his eyes full of sympathy for his younger classmates.

They did nothing wrong, but they had to endure Isajiki Jun's temper.

Zhou Hui’s behavior made Isajiki Jun very unhappy. His current state was closely related to Zhou Hui.

Looking at his comrades, Zhou Hui still felt very guilty.

"Ah Chun is just like this. It's not the first day you've known him. So what do you want to talk to me about?"

Danbo said.

"Let's go back to the dormitory and talk about it. Don't you miss the days in Qingxin Dormitory?"

These words really touched Danbo's heart.

I really feel like crying but I have no tears!

Thinking about the present days, Danbo felt sad.

It is a professional team, but the accommodation is not as good as that of Qingdao High School.

Qingdao High School is equipped with televisions, tables, chairs and even refrigerators in its dormitories.

But what about the professional team that drafted him?
They were not even provided with a place to live, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Danbo, who had just entered the professional league, had no choice but to rent a house.

Only when playing away games can we stay in a star-rated hotel.

If it weren't for his own future, he might have wanted to return to Qingdao High School.

The professional league is really not as good as here.

After returning to the dormitory of Qingxin Lodge, Zhou Hui and Danbo sat down directly on the bed.

Enjoying this familiar feeling, Danbo felt like crying and missed it very much.

It turned out that he had always enjoyed a life like an emperor in Qingdao High School.

I looked up at my former bed. It was covered with dust. What was even more outrageous was that there was a spider web on the corresponding wall.

Seeing this, Danbo instantly felt that life in the professional team was going to be good.

"You and Watanabe should also clean up my bed when you have time. The new first-year student will be here soon. You should also provide him with a good environment."

"Got it, I'll definitely do it when I have time."

Zhou Hui nodded obediently.

But I don't know when I will be free again. Whenever Zhou Hui comes back from a competition or training, he just lies on his bed and falls asleep. Watanabe also has his own things to do and doesn't have so much free time.

As for the beds...

Just wait until the new classmate comes and let him sort it out himself. However, Zhou Hui and Watanabe are too lazy to do that.

"You asked me to come this time because I will be the starting pitcher in the next game against Yakushi High School."

After chatting casually, Danbo seemed to see through Zhou Hui's heart and told him the truth.

Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment.

How did he know?
Zhou Hui looked at Danbo in surprise, not knowing what to say. He just stared in shock at the professional pitcher in front of him who was similar to him.

Do professional sports teams still teach mind reading?

If this is true, Zhou Hui wants to join a professional team now, he doesn't want to wait any longer.

He really wanted to see what Senior Fujiwara was thinking about all day long.

Seeing Zhou Hui's expression, Danbo couldn't help laughing and immediately raised his hand.

"Don't think too much about it. I just listened to what Director Kataoka said."

Hearing this, Zhou Hui nodded, but he was also a little disappointed in his heart.

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that professional teams don’t teach mind reading. Even if he really goes there, he may not know what Senior Fujiwara thinks every day.

"Is that why I called Tanba-senpai here?"

"Call me?"

Danbo pointed at himself in disbelief.

"But as a starting pitcher, to be honest, I don't have much experience. I think you know that in the three years at Qingdao High School, I didn't have many starts."

"Let me tell you this. In my freshman year, I didn't even make the first team. Although I made the first team in my sophomore year, I was only the substitute for senior Meng. When I became the ace pitcher in my junior year, I never got a chance to start because of injuries and my condition."

"I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad, but I want you to know that when it comes to starting pitchers, you can ask Furuya or Sawamura. There's no need to seek advice from me."

"Of course I know this, but..."

"Just what?"

Danbo was a little confused.

"It's just that neither Sawamura nor Furuya are reliable. Furuya can even fall asleep while walking. Do you think he can be trusted? And Sawamura, even though he has become an ace pitcher, his personality doesn't seem reliable. The only person I can rely on is you, Tamba-senpai."

Zhou Hui said a lot of things, all of which were nothing more than belittling Fōgiya Akatsuki and Sawamura in order to increase Tamba's status.

Danbo was also very pleased to hear this.

But at this moment, there was a slight noise outside the door.

"Who is there?"

Seeing that they had been discovered, the two people outside the door stopped pretending and pushed the door open and stood where they were.

Just the looks of the two men made Zhou Hui feel a chill down his spine.

"Furuya? Sawamura?"

"Hi."

The two greeted each other expressionlessly.

"Where did you two start hearing this?"

"From the time you said we were unreliable."
