"Man! We are finally back!"
"Right? I really missed the school."
"Heh, who would have thought." The players got out of the bus after returning to Seidou.
"It feels like we have been away for ages."
"Yeah, it felt like a long time, even though it wasn't."
"Sniff Sniff even the air smells good." They wouldn't have known that they would miss Seidou this much.
"No, you are going overboard with this."
"Wait, wait! It actually is. There is a really good smell."
"Am I that hungry, or there is a smell of delicious food in the air."
"Either I am that hungry too, or there is a really good smell."
"Don't dillydally dumpass, of course, it is the feast for the Champions! Get your things back to the room and go take a bath, we have a feast waiting for us!" Isashiki nagged at the players and started running to his room to apply his words.
Just after getting out of the car, after a simple wash, the players swarmed towards the cafeteria.
Although it was a holiday, the fat principal did not disappoint Sawamura.
Before entering the dining hall, the fragrant aroma of the hall wafted out.
After a morning of playing, two hours of interviews, plus a few hours of driving.
The players are already starving.
Although there was a quick lunch in the middle, knowing that there is a big meal in the evening, who will eat to his full?
Even Masuko the No. 1 rice bucket of Seidou High School, when he saw the boxed lunch, he just picked up two boxes to shut his stomach.
Now that the real big meal is here, the hungry players naturally didn't hold back.
It can be seen that the chubby principal and thin dean still put a lot of thought into this meal, and it is not just to look good.
Not to mention the one-foot-long lobster, and even saw several plates of whale meat.
"Isn't the whale meat banned long ago?"
As Masuko said, he put the meat slices on his plate.
The delicacies prepared by the Principal and the Dean were all digested into the stomachs of the players who were eating like hungry ghosts.
After the meal, it was another celebration party, and the evening was a banquet.
All in all, very festive atmosphere!
No celebrations ended before 9 pm.
For the players of Seidou High School, in addition to their subsequent fame, all the processes of their current Koshien have been completely completed.
"The third-year players don't have to rush out of the dormitory. I plan to let the third-year players play in the U-18 Baseball World Cup, and the 1st and 2nd-grade players will not participate. During this time, the third-year players will make use of the B field to practice, and the A field will be reserved for the new Team."
After all the celebrations were over, Coach Kataoka said these words.
The players who had already prepared for this moment invariably breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has heard such a statement for a long time, as long as the team enters the Koshien, the happiness will continue. But for the current players of Seidou High School, this is a new experience for them.
As for the composition of the new team, it started directly after the return to school.
Speaking of which, there is no way to do it. The players have won all the way, and they have already won the championship in Koshien. Right now, whether it is the school or the baseball team, there is no reason to force everyone to continue practicing.
For the players of Seidou High School, if they do not return to their hometowns, their happiness of winning the national championship will also be greatly reduced.
In this regard, Coach Kataoka does not particularly agree.
But Takashima Rei persuaded him.
"It is now August 22, and the school starts on September 1."
Takashima Rei didn't say any more words after that.
But Coach Kataoka still understood what Takashima meant. The players have all won Koshien, so you can't help but give the players a holiday. Not to mention, most of the players of Seidou High School are recruited from all over the country, and it is not as convenient for them to go home as the players in the Tokyo area.
There are only a few days in total. If you take a few days off and force the players to gather, the effect may not be good.
"Report back to school on the evening of August 30th, train for a day on the 31st, and start school on September 1st."
In the end, Kataoka made a concession and asked the players to report to the dormitory before the evening of August 30.
"Long live!"
For this decision, most of the players of Seidou High School support it very much.
When they went back at night, they didn't lie down to sleep directly, but packed their luggage and talked about going home with great interest.
As for the third-year players, they collectively gave up the decision to return home. For them, there is less and less time to play baseball together. Even if you count all that you can, there are only two months left.
They wanted to enjoy the last two months together.
As Seidou High School, the National Champion of Japan, they also don't want to look embarrassing on the world stage.
In this regard, it is difficult for other players at Seidou High School to help. The school will only start in September, and a month later, they will start the journey of the Fall Tournament.
At this time, it will be the entire Tokyo area, including East Tokyo, and West Tokyo, a total of more than 260 High School baseball teams.
These schools will compete for one of the 32 seats in the Spring Koshien.
The time to train the new team is a bit over a month. During this time, Superintendent Kataoka would have to rack his brains just to form a team of players, let alone make them into a fighting force.
Everything has its pros and cons, and the longer you go to Koshien, the less time you have to prepare when the Fall Tournament.
Like the current Seidou High School, which has gone all the way to the end, in addition to the matches, there will be a lot of twists and turns in the middle.
Which led to the current situation,
Seidou High School, which has gone further and further than any other school in the summer, now has less time than any other school to prepare for the subsequent matches.
This will undoubtedly become a big hidden danger for the team to overcome.
Speaking of which, it's a worry you should be happy to have.
When Coach Kataoka and Coach Ochiai were still in the middle of Koshien, they had already thought about it.
After the two discussed it from the beginning of Koshien to the end of it, they finally came up with some countermeasures.
According to Superintendent Kataoka's plan, the players should stop taking vacations, and hurry up to start forming the new team and actively preparing for the coming battles.
But although he is a strict Coach, it's not like he is not a human at all.
Holding the banner of the combination of hard work and good rest, at the strong request of President Ota, Deputy President Takashima, Coach Ochiai, the school Principal, and the Dean of Education.
Coach Kataoka reluctantly passed the decision to take a holiday.
So on the morning of August 23, the baseball team of Seidou High School officially had a holiday.
