Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 7 Qingdao! Here I come!

"By the way, I'm really sorry for leaning on your shoulder just now."

Jiang Gu Xiao suddenly realized that he had slept on Zhou Hui's shoulder for a long time, and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately turned around and apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, these are just small problems."

Zhou Hui immediately stopped rubbing his shoulders and said with a smile.

Although his shoulders are still sore, anyone with a little emotional intelligence knows that it is inappropriate to do this now.

"By the way, are you also a freshman at Qingdao High School?"

"Yes, so you too?"

Zhou Hui nodded.

"I'm also a freshman at Qingdao High School. My name is Zhou Hui."

"Zhou Hui..."

Kouya Xiao began to mutter this name, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

This is also why the name Zhou Hui is a household name in Hokkaido.

Anyone who has paid attention to baseball magazines knows this name.

"The big devil from Hokkaido", "the scary monster from China", "the most important link in the Hawks' batting line-up".

These are what the media used to describe Zhou Hui.

This shows the high hopes the media has for him.

So many exaggerated words also prove his strong strength.

I dare say that if Zhou Hui was placed in an ordinary team that was not in a fierce battle zone, it would be very likely that he could lead that team into Koshien with his strength.

"Don't think too much. I'm from China, so my name is naturally different from yours."

Of course Zhou Hui knew what Jiang Gu Xiao was thinking, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"I see……"

Jōgō Aki's voice was so soft, it seemed that only he could hear it.

"My name is Akatsuki Fūya."

Fōgiya Xiao's self-introduction was very brief.

But anyway, the two of them got to know each other.

Afterwards, the two took a taxi to Qingdao High School.

Seidou High School is a private high school located in a bustling area in western Tokyo.

This place is famous for baseball.

In the current professional league of the island country, many players come from Qingdao High School.

Coming here is like entering a "professional baseball incubation base."

The school covers a large area and the training facilities are very luxurious. The whole school gives people a magnificent feeling.

For a school like this, it would be a lie to say that the tuition is low.

The tuition fees of Qingdao High School are among the highest among all private high schools on the island.

This also makes many students who failed to get into public high schools discouraged when considering Qingdao High School.

While Qingdao High School is comfortable, the high tuition fees are very normal.

But this doesn't mean they are stupid.

When it comes to the benefits for talented players, they don't give less at all.

They have no idea how much effort they have put in to recruit Zhou Hui.

This is true both physically and financially.

After getting off the car, they were also shocked by the scene before them.

I didn’t expect Qingdao High School to be so big!
This is much bigger than what is stated in their admissions brochure!

Both of them come from relatively wealthy families and both attended ordinary local schools for junior high school. Coming to the big city this time has really broadened their horizons.

At least that's the case with Zhou Hui.

Although Jōgō Aki was also shocked, he was obviously not as shocked as Zhou Hui.

Xiao Fōgaya's grandfather is from Tokyo and has a relatively open mind.

"This is Qingdao."

Looking at the huge campus in front of him, Zhou Hui's eyes were full of anticipation.

Seidou High School, the high school that many baseball boys aspire to be.

It is also a private high school with a higher admission score.

Therefore, even in the baseball team, there is no shortage of players who are good at studying. There are only eight special admissions quotas each year, and once they are filled, there will be no more.

These talented players can enter Seidou High School with the special admissions quota of Seidou High School.

People like this will have a very comfortable life in Qingdao High School.

There is no need to spend money, and Qingdao High School may even give you money.

Players with lower strength only have one chance to be exempted from the exam, and they have to pay for their accommodation and tuition fees themselves.

Most of the players entered the team through the normal high school entrance examination.

But being able to join the baseball team also proves that they achieved good results in junior high school.

Studying is also very important in Qingdao High School.

Even the baseball team is like this.

Qingdao High School has a rule that if students do not pass the final exam and the supplementary exam, they will not be eligible to join the team in the summer competition.

Not even if you are the captain of the baseball team.

I joined the baseball team not just to play baseball, but also to focus on my studies.

This is the rule of Qingdao High School!

Therefore, it is really difficult for those who do not have some cultural foundation to gain a foothold in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Zhou Hui and Jōgō Aoi did not stand at the door for a long time. They walked into the gate of Qingdao High School with their large and small luggage.

After coming in, Zhou Hui took a deep breath and found that his breathing became much smoother.

The greenery here is one aspect, and the other aspect is almost his psychological effect.

A baseball powerhouse like Seidou High School is his dream school.

Now, his dream has come true.

"Where should we go first?"

Zhou Hui glanced at Jiang Gu Xiao and asked.

"Forehead……"

Jōgiya Xiao was still a daze and didn't say a word for a long time.

It seems that this kind of thing is still a bit difficult for Xiao Fōgō.

Zhou Hui no longer pinned his hopes on him and decided to rely on himself.

"If you're a freshman, you should go to..."

Zhou Hui began to think.

Takashima Rei did not tell him this, and it was not clearly stated in the admission letter.

This resulted in the two of them being at a loss after entering Qingdao High School, and they had no idea what to do next.

Zhou Hui looked up at the sky and it was indeed very late.

It is now five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun has already set, but the two have just arrived at Qingdao High School.

It may not be realistic now to report to the Student Affairs Office to go through the admission procedures.

At this time, the teachers in the Student Affairs Office may have already gone off work.

"Let's go to the dormitory first!"

This is already the most correct choice.

Find a place to live first, everything else comes second.

Jiang Gu Xiao nodded and followed Zhou Hui to find the dormitory.

He didn't have an accurate idea now, so it would be better for him to listen to Zhou Hui first.

So, the two of them walked together and began to look for the dormitory building.

It is not easy to recruit a dormitory building in a campus as large as Qingdao High School.

It took them at least twenty minutes to search before they saw the dormitory building.

"This should be right here?"

Zhou Hui looked up at the sign at the entrance of the dormitory building.

Qingxinliao.

"That's right, it's here."

Zhou Hui asked and answered himself, while Jiang Gu Xiao next to him didn't say a word.
