Chereads / Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher / Chapter 403 - Chapter 35: The Calm before the Storm

Chapter 403 - Chapter 35: The Calm before the Storm

The schedule of Koshien is very intensive, with an average of one game every two days. Tomorrow is the day of the match between Seidou High School and Seihou High School. Right now, it is too late to carry out targeted training.

There was no time to carry out targeted training, so everyone could only train normally to prevent their bodies from rusting, and then sit in the hall to study the tactics against Seihou High School.

After eating, Sawamura moved his body.

"Eijun-kun, let's go to meeting."

Haruichi asked Eijun to go to a meeting.

"Okay!"

Sawamura agreed with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw the sullen face of Haruichi.

When he didn't enter Koshien before, although Kominato Haruichi didn't like to talk much, he didn't look gloomy like this.

As a friend, Sawamura could feel it.

Strangely, after entering Koshien, he became gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Sawamura asked with concern.

"Nothing," Haruichi replied.

That means there is something, and it is difficult to say it.

With a sigh in his mind, Sawamura continued to ask, "Is it because you didn't play?"

In yesterday's game, the substitutes for the third year of Seidou High School, including the substitutes in the second year, all of them played.

Coach Kataoka made a lot of changes at the last moment. Except for Sawamura, all other positions changed.

In the rest area, the only two who didn't play were Miyuki and Haruichi.

Miyuki had already played as a catcher in the first game before, against Konan High School in Okinawa, and played the entire game.

So far, in the 18-member roster of the Seidou High School First String, the only one who has not played in Koshien is Kominato Haruichi.

Although it's not that he didn't accept it, it is Coach Kataoka's consideration.

He probably thinks the third-year players have no chance other than this one. Conversely, first-year players shouldn't be too anxious.

Kataoka is confident to bring Sawamura and the others back to Koshien again.

Sawamura thinks Haruichi should also understand this. Nevertheless, being in this position may be a little unbearable.

"If it's because you didn't play, I think you don't have to be so down…"

Sawamura was preparing to console Haruichi.

Then he saw Kominato Haruichi and looked at him with an incredible look.

Sawamura knew he had guessed wrong, although he still didn't know why he was so down.

This scene is rather embarrassing.

"Thank you!"

Haruichi was first surprised, then chuckled and said sincerely to Sawamura.

When Sawamura and Haruichi entered the hall, the third-year seniors were already sitting there.

'So early!'

Sawamura couldn't help but be surprised.

He got up very early. He washed up after the morning exercise, had a meal after a shower, and briefly moved around after the meal, and then he came.

These seniors in the third grade should have the same process as him today.

But they arrived at the lobby earlier than them.

This means that these Senpais in the hall today all got up earlier than Sawamura.

'Although hard work in high school baseball does not definitely lead to success, hard work is still the best ladder to success.'

The Senpais of Seidou High School are currently in the third grade.

It's really a lot of hard work!

'If they can't win the championship, who is qualified to win the championship?'

At this moment, Sawamura strengthened his confidence in leading the team to the National Domination.

After Sawamura sat down, Haruichi also sat down.

The corner where he sat was far away from Sawamura.

No one knows if it was intentional, or if it just happened there was an empty place there.

That position was very close to his older brother, Kominato Ryosuke.

After sitting down, Haruichi glanced at his brother with his eyes covered by his hair.

'There's only a little over a week left to play baseball with my brother, no more than four games at most…'

Then, one after another, several second-year players and Furuya also came to the hall.

In addition to these main force members, there are also several second-string players living in the dormitory.

Including first-years like Kanemaru Shinji and Toujou Hideaki.

Both of them had the attention of Coach Kataoka and Coach Ochiai. Their strength is outstanding in the first year.

Let them follow the team, to let these third-year players have more influence on them.

For the honing of players, the education of hearing and seeing is much more effective than that kind of rigid training.

After everyone arrived, four Supervisors came in, including Coach Kataoka, Coach Ochiai, President Ota, and Deputy President Takashima.

What they were holding in their hands was a video of the Seihou High School game.

The video of Seihou High School has long been prepared. After all, Seihou High School is also a candidate for the championship. Seidou High School, which aims for the National Championship, naturally understands the strength of Seihou High School.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

From the regional finals of Seihou High School to their Koshien matches, Seidou High School had all of them.

With so many game videos, it is definitely impossible to watch them all.

Therefore, the players just focused on their regional final and then replayed the match between Seihou High School and Osaka Kiryuu.

After watching all the game videos, it is time to introduce the lineup of Seihou High School.

And as expected of the championship candidate!

The lineup of Seihou High School is as luxurious as Seidou High School.

From the arrangement of each player's position, Seihou High School is very similar to Seidou.

Absolute Ace, absolutely strong and super attacking power, and iron-clad defense.

Takashima Rei's words here are the best summary of the opponent.

"Whether it's offense or defense, the opponent's level is definitely not less than us!"

Not less than Seidou High School!

For the players of Seidou High School, if the opponent's strength is not below their own, it is the biggest trouble.

"And we have encountered strong enemies again and again before, and all the reserved cards have been exposed in previous games. The opponent is likely to know us far deeper than we thought."

After introducing the comprehensive strength of the two sides, they have to talk about the star players of the other side.

"Monster batter Sano Shuzo! Throughout his high school career, until the last game, he hit a full 69 home runs. This record is almost challenged, the top five ever in high school."

How scary is such a Batter?

On the Internet, some people have even put together pictures of Sawamura and Sano, with a Demon King and Guts behind the two. (Guts from Berserk.)

Demon King Sawamura Eijun vs Super Batter Sano Shuzo!

After this duel, it is estimated that only one of the two names will remain.

A nickname that can be compared with Sawamura Eijun, the Maou.

This is the most famous monster batter in high school, he is the candidate for the country's No. 1 strongest batter.

In addition to the monster Sano Shuzo, Seihou High School, like Seidou High School, has another star player.

Asura, Akutsu Watari!

"The nickname Asura, Is this guy a delinquent or something?" Kuramochi frowned.

Akutsu Watari is a second-year player who became famous relatively late. Even in the previous spring games, he wasn't the Ace at Seihou.

Many high school baseball students in the country do not know his name.

It was as if he appeared out of nowhere.

Once he appeared, he shook the whole high school world.

Helped Seihou High to keep a clean sheet in the regional competition.

After entering Koshien, he never lost a point.

The results are very prominent, but the reputation is not very high. He was not even considered a star player by a lot of people until he was the Ace.

"It is said that Akutsu Watari is very popular, and he seems to have many friends. He is a model student and not a delinquent. The reason why he is called Asura is for another reason."
