The next morning as I awoke I found I had awoken earlier than my two upperclassmen. I immediately got up and got ready to go. As I headed out I decided to begin my training early with a light jog to get me warmed up.
It didn't take long for the entire team to arrive.
The first years were led through our basic acclimatization training to get us used to the normal rigorous training of high school baseball.
Being one day before high school begins I found myself eager to play baseball but much less eager to begin school. Having done everything once I wasn't very eager but having been American in my last life I hadn't been in a Japanese high school though I still had akira's memories thankfully.
As the training continued I found myself being called to the dugout of field A. As I arrived I found myself face to face with Miyuki as well as coach Rei.
"Akira, you're going to train with him in your pitching, we don't plan to use you anytime soon but your offensive ability is good enough to be in the lineup as an outfielder. However you'll be trained as a pitcher as well. If we use you or not will be up to your own effort."
I nodded understandingly when Miyuki smiled and threw his hand over my shoulder. "Haha, you stinky Mei's so why did you come to Seidō and not follow your brother?"
I gave him the look a dead fish would as I spoke, "who wants to follow that lousy bastard." However I quickly grew a grin as I failed to keep my poker face as I continued "he's always so smelly."
Of course I was just making fun of my brother. The real reason is quite obvious. However I would never admit it out loud.
"Plus I want to prove I'm better than he is, how would I do that if we're on the same team."
Miyuki couldn't help but smile at that last statement. "Hehe, I know right."
"Yes exactly plus who better than to beat him with that the person who is the best catcher in his own opinion. Imagine a catcher who rejected him and his little brother who rejected to follow him… how would he feel being beaten by us." A look or pure evil was on my face as Miyuki let out a laugh.
When Rei spoke up, "you two should stop you're making yourself sound like the villian of this story. Anyway's you two should get to work."
"Yes coach." I quickly bowed to avoid offending her but Miyuki didn't seemed bothered at all his smile still plastered on his face.
We soon went towards the bull pen when I got there I threw a few balls against the fence as Miyuki started putting his gear on. As he did he asked my what pitches I knew.
