Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 8 Ace Roommate
Zhou Hui began to be certain that this was their dormitory!
At first, he still had some doubts, but when he saw Takashima Rei standing at the dormitory door, he immediately confirmed it.

This is it!
Zhou Hui walked over pulling the suitcase.

"Ms. Takashima."

After saying hello, Zhou Hui stood next to Takashima Rei.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come. I wanted to pick you up at the door, but I was busy doing the retirement ceremony for your third-year seniors, so I really didn't have time. I'm so sorry."

Takashima Rei stuck out his tongue.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

"Really? That's good."

Takashima Rei glanced at Fūya Akira beside him.

"This is Furuya-san."

Takashima Rei recognized Fōgaya Akatsuki at first sight.

Although Akihiro Fōtani entered Seidou High School through an exam, he had seen his appearance on the application form, so he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Yes."

Xiao Fōgō nodded without saying anything more.

"Okay, now that we're here, let's go find your dormitories. I'll go back first."

"Walk slowly."

After seeing off Takashima Rei, Zhou Hui and Fōgiya Xiao walked into Qingxin Dormitory together and began to look for their respective dormitories.

As soon as he walked into the corridor of Qingxinliao, Zhou Hui smelled a strong smell of fireworks.

The corridors were filled with players' freshly brushed shoes, washed clothes, socks and even underwear hanging on the railings.

They were all grown men, and no one felt ashamed.

Coming to this environment, Zhou Hui even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It feels like arriving at your own home.

It seems that the students of Seidou High School baseball team have already regarded Seidou High School as their home.

This is also normal.

These students on the Seidou High School baseball team rarely have holidays, or even if they do, they are not many.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qingdao High School is their second home.

They spent most of their time inside Seidou High School.

During that short vacation, few people chose to go home.

During the holidays, Qingdao High School also allows students to go home, but only a small number of people go home each time.

Some of them are because their homes are too far away, and they have to come back after just a few days. They don’t want to waste time.

Some people don’t go home because they want to improve themselves!
Seidou High School will not stop training even during holidays.

If you miss training because you go home, the gap will be difficult to make up.

In order to get the 20 places in the first team, the students of Qingdao High School baseball team train hard every day.

If you swing the bat a hundred times, I'll swing it a hundred and one times!
In such a highly competitive environment, no one dares to take a break.

Unless there are special circumstances or major changes in the family, basically no one chooses to go home.

This is why the sound of baseball being played can be heard almost every day at Qingdao High School.

Except for the New Year and other holidays, there are people training in Qingdao High School all the time.

"Found it. Am I staying in Room 9?"

At the end of the corridor, Zhou Hui found his dormitory.

The dormitory for the Seidou High School baseball team is relatively easy to find.

Their names are written on the door. You just need to bend down and look, and you will be able to find your dormitory.

There were two seniors living in the same dormitory with him, namely Mitsuichiro Tamba and Hisashi Watanabe.

That’s right, Qingdao High School has a real three-person dormitory!

This is one of the benefits of private high schools.

No matter where you are, you will be equipped with the best conditions, not to mention the dormitories.

Compared with schools that often have eight-person dormitories, this is far ahead of them.

Zhou Hui turned the doorknob and walked into the dormitory. Seeing the movement outside the door, the two seniors in the dormitory also looked towards the door.

"Oh? New here?"

A tall boy spoke first.

"Yes."

Zhou Hui’s answer was very simple.

This is the first time we meet, so we are not that familiar with each other and it is normal to feel a little reserved.

"Then we'll be roommates from now on. My name is Tamba Koichiro, and I'm a third-year student."

"Hello, Tanba-senpai."

At this time, another senior who was sitting on the bed also hurriedly got up, took the luggage from Zhou Hui's hand, and placed it next to his bed.

"This is your position from now on. My name is Watanabe Hisashi. I'm a sophomore and I'm the catcher for the second team."

This is also the dormitory culture of Qingdao High School. The third, second and first years live in the same dormitory, which helps to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

"Okay, thank you, senior. My name is Zhou Hui, and I'm from Hokkaido."

"Hokkaido is quite far away. You must be tired coming here."

Danbo said, pinching his chin.

"well enough."

"What's your position?"

"First baseman."

"The same position as Captain Yuki..." Watanabe said, "That kid, if you want to become the starting first baseman in the first team, you still have a long way to go."

"This senior is the ace pitcher of our school. If you have any questions, just go to him."

Watanabe patted Tamba on the shoulder and introduced him to Zhou Hui.

"Ace pitcher? That's amazing!"

Looking at Danbo, Zhou Hui's eyes also sparkled, as if he was staring at his idol.

How could he not be excited as he had just arrived at Seidou High School and was able to have such close contact with the team's ace pitcher?

Having an ace pitcher as his roommate is indeed a good start for a freshman.

"Didn't I tell you not to mention this?"

Tamba looked at Watanabe and said, as if he had something buried in his heart.

"What's wrong? You are the ace of Qingdao High School, aren't you?"

Danbo shook his head helplessly.

This left Zhou Hui stunned, and he didn't know why.

Maybe this senior is just too modest.

If Danbo's strength was given to Azan, he would have gone crazy to an unknown level.

After chatting in depth for a while, Zhou Hui finally relaxed completely and no longer felt nervous as before.

I originally thought that these two seniors would be difficult to get along with, especially Tamba.

In junior high school, those ace pitchers who showed their skills in the spotlight early on were all very arrogant.

Even the kind that doesn't hesitate to pay attention to you.

But Danbo is completely different from them.

Danbo is a very good senior and a caring older brother.

When you talk to him, you won't feel any pressure, nor will you feel the arrogance of an ace pitcher.

"Are you the hits king and home run king of Hokkaido? You're too strong!"

After learning about Zhou Hui's achievements in youth baseball, Danbo also looked up to him with admiration.

"Where."

"If there is a chance, we must have a competition."

"Okay, it's a deal!"
