Chereads / Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher / Chapter 128 - Chapter 4: Promotion

Chapter 128 - Chapter 4: Promotion

'What do you mean by busy?'

This is Sawamura.

In the bullpen, the group of practicing partners, including Chris and Miyuki, who have always been relatively calm, are not calm anymore.

They widened their eyes and looked at Sawamura, looking at him furiously.

"What's wrong?"

Sawamura himself didn't think so. As a player in the major leagues in his previous life, there were always a lot of reporters waiting to interview him. In this life, during the period of Akagi Middle School, he also had a lot of interviews with Akagi Middle School.

To deal with reporters, unless necessary, he was never free. As for how to deal with the rest, he left it to his manager in his previous life, and to the Teacher supervising the baseball club in this life.

The third-year senior, who was telling Sawamura, didn't even know what kind of expression he should make to face him.

When there is no comparison, no one really thinks about it. Even though they knew that Sawamura was a Star player, and attracted thousands of cheers on the field. But they never thought that they would be so different from Sawamura.

At least if they were in his place, they would never say the words "I'm busy" to an interview with reporters.

Of course, not everyone is very interested in interviews with reporters. Just like those big Stars, some people like to pay attention to their influence, and the more people who will see the interview, the better. Some people, because of the pervasiveness of reporters, feel that they have no personal life, and they are very disgusted by this.

But it has to be said that these people have already reached a certain level of fame.

To those who are not yet famous, they will wait all day long for someone to interview them.

At the Famous Seidou High School, most of the players are baseball students from all over the country. Why do they leave their homes and come all the way here? There is no doubt that the vast majority of these players came with the dreams of making it to the Professional Leagues. Even if you don't consider the vanity of young men, and simply say that for their own dreams, everyone is very eager for some fame.

Strength on the baseball field always comes first, but except for the really top players, most players are actually similar in strength. The difference lies in who is famous and who is not, who has good performance and who has bad performance.

How is this different from actors who are not yet famous?

They also crave opportunity and fame.

Without fame, who will know the Azuma Kiyokuni of Seidou High School? Who will know Miyuki Kazuya of Seidou High School?

Players like the two of them, even if they don't have the achievements of Koshien, can still attract professional baseball scouts in the professional baseball draft. What do they rely on? Just fame.

Of course, you do need to be strong. If there is no strength, then everything is nonsense.

Therefore, in the eyes of Seidou High School's players, it is very difficult to understand actively rejecting media interviews.

If someone else did this, they might talk behind their backs, thinking that they might have a broken brain or something.

But it was Sawamura who did it, and they didn't feel anything other than being amazed.

In fact, they all know in their mind, what is going on.

Needless to say, in the future, even now, Sawamura is no longer a player of the same level as them.

"You better go."

Chris took the initiative to persuade him.

Sawamura really wasn't interested in being interviewed.

"It doesn't matter, we still…"

It's just that his approach is a bit hypocritical in the eyes of other people around him.

It's like watching some big Stars say they hate the annoying reporters to some actors who are not famous yet.

It leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

"After all, it was ordered by the Superintendent himself, so you'd better go." Chris continued to persuade.

No matter what kind of fame Sawamura had before, high school baseball and middle school baseball were not things of the same level after all.

Sawamura's future dream is very clear, that is, to move towards the big leagues. And maybe more.

Since you want to embark on a career path in the future, maintaining a good image is also compulsory homework. The media in middle school can only make Sawamura famous, but the media in high school can give Sawamura the key to his career.

From this point of view, Sawamura did not call Chris Shisho in vain.

"Oh!"

Sawamura reluctantly left to be interviewed.

However, legends about Sawamura spread on the field.

When asked by the media for an interview, he refused without even thinking about it.

"This stinky boy!"

When Kuramochi heard the news, his eyes were red.

He decided to have a good fight with Sawamura.

As the team's Ace pitcher, protecting yourself is also a very important skill, so Kuramochi decided to teach Sawamura the importance of self-defense.

On this side, there is a talk about Sawamura. On the other side, the coaching staff of Seidou High School has also confirmed that the third-string players will be promoted to the second string.

Hideaki Toujou, who was transferred to outfielder.

Toujou Hideaki is talented as a pitcher. The Seidou coaching staff who have conducted various tests on him have clearly told him that if he chooses to be a pitcher, he will have a future.

But it's only promising. In the current situation of Seidou High School, Toujou Hideaki can only be cultivated as a relay pitcher at most. Here you have to praise the conscience of the Seidou High School coaching staff. They told Toujou Hideaki a fact, although this fact is a bit cruel.

Among the pitchers of the same grade, there are the Demon-King Sawamura Eijun and the super monster that has a ball speed of more than 150 km/h, Furuya Satoru.

The possibility of Toujou Hideaki becoming an Ace is about 0.001%.

If he chooses to continue to be a pitcher, he can't be promoted to the second string right now.

Many pitchers in the second and third grades have a higher degree of completion than him.

To be able to play as soon as possible, Toujou Hideaki chose to change position as an outfielder.

Just waiting to compete for the pitching position at Seidou High School, there are at least a dozen.

In a position like the outfielder, the competitive pressure is much less.

The rich experience, the resourceful intuition, and the dexterous swing of the bat made Toujou stand out and become a member of the second string among the freshmen.

This time, a total of four people were selected from the Third String and promoted to the Second String.

A third-year senior, a second-year, Toujou Hideaki, and the other is Kanemaru Shinji.

Through his unrelenting efforts, Kanemaru also got the chance to advance this time.

Here you have to say that the ability of the Giants to cultivate talents is indeed stronger than that of other places.

Just like Toujou, the Matsutaka Junior High baseball team, where Kanemaru is played, once won the top four in the nation.

As the main force in this national top-four team, the strength of Toujou and Kanemaru is beyond doubt.

After the four joined the Second String, the competition for promotion of the Second String also began.
