a lot of time had passed and high schools would start in a week.
but I had not decided my high school yet . it was because most of the high schools were different from my previous world and I didnt have time to check them because of my training .
I had decided to end my training as even though I have been careful but rest was important. I had decided to only train my pitching and batting skills till start of high school with some running in the morning .
the results of my training were really more than my expectations.
I now possessed stamina not inferior to new pro baseball who didnt possess the right body yet. my height also increased to 5ft 11 and my body was of course extremely fit . I broke the limits of my body many times while training so my body's regeneration powers were improved too . I also discovered that this body possessed athletic vision . athletic vision was really useful and rare talent that would help me see far and more details easily . my skills were now -
PITCHING SKILLLS -
FASTBALL - SPEED 153 MAX , CONTROL PERFECT
SLIDER - SPEED 150 MAX , CONTROL ADVANCE
CHANGE UP - SPEED 100 MAX , CONTROL PERFECT
seriously, I was really surprised when I discovered that my body possessed talent for fastballs which was really rare . in my previous world I had seen only 2 or 3 with that talent during school tournaments .
BATTING SKILLS - ADVANCE ( pro level )
(skills that cant be described by number are categorized as follows -
beginner
intermediate
advance
perfect )
I only focused on the right things that could be done in a short time during my training. I only focused on fastball, slider and change up because my talent with those was the best . unnecessary skillls would only result in less practice time for the necessary ones . my batting skills were already very good in my previous world . so , I just perfected my swing while building my body and it improved considerably. I started going to batting centre nearby to practice my swing after my body was good enough daily . with the help of athletic vision my batting skills improved the most .
today , I went to watch a match between pro baseball teams in closest stadium .
the match was between OCEANS and OSAKA BULLS . oceans was a team that had many good pitchers and Osaka bulls had many sluggers . so the match was really interesting to watch. in the end oceans won and the final score was 3 to 2 . oceans pitchers were really good but a slugger from Osaka bulls scored 2 homeruns from their ace .
there was still time till night so , I went to eat ramen . after earing my full , I went home and practiced my skills for an hour . I then took a bath and decided to look through website of various high schools in Tokyo. I searched for the schools that had baseball club and was surprised by the result. more than 95 % high schools had a baseball club . this number was way more compared to my previous world .
after checking for a while , luckily I found a perfect school . the name was kanto high school and it was located at only 20 minutes walk distance from my house. their baseball club was strong too with some achievements . I decided to visit the school before deciding to enroll or not . my first condition was that I didnt want to attended classes . this could only be confirmed after meeting the teachers in person.
I quickly reached and was surprised by the clean atmosphere as it was opposite of my school in previous world . my previous high school was a public one and was only famous for their baseball club . I went inside the gates and quickly found the location of staff room .
inside the staff room I met the headmaster whose name was yamada sensei . I asked him about all things I wanted to confirm. I liked his character because he answered all my questions peacefully and I could sense his kind personality.
according to sensei , kanto high school was a school for students who wanted an environment to study for university exams . in short it was high school for elites which explained the clean atmosphere. I confirmed that I didnt need to attend classes whole year and only had to score more than 70 % on annual tests to advance to next grade . he told me that there were many students like me so this system was formed for us . I liked this system so decided to enroll in this school .
I then told the headmaster about my will to enroll and he happily agreed . I gave him copy of my middle school graduation certificate and took the entrance test . it was easy so , I finished all the tests in 2 hours and waited for my results. I was quickly accepted and completed all the procedures required quickly . money was not a problem so I just transferred the right amount for 3 years. I was then told that the baseball training facilities would only open staeting from the first day so I just looked at grounds and went home .
I was satisfied with the school so was in the mood for celebration. I didnt have any friends yet so I alone went to the nearby Italian restaurant for some pizza . it was really good and tasted like the real deal . I then went home and ran on the treadmill for a while to burn the calories fast . I then took a bath and went to sleep .
