Hiroki was essentially the best all-round player on the team and he was only in his second year of high school. Just imagining what kind of monster would be unleashed if his potential was unlocked gave him goosebumps.
Now that he thought about it, Hiroki never made it to the professional league in his previous life either.
Ken's thoughts were broken by the coach who looked like he was about to speak.
"We've been training hard for the past month, and now is the time to test out how far we've come." Coach Hanada said, looking over all his players.
"In the 3 month lead up to Koshien we'll be playing other schools almost every weekend."
He continued, "We'll talk about our opponents later, but I wanted to announce the first team for the friendly matches."
A wave of excitement fell upon the players, or at least those who were not already in the first squad. Shiro subconsciously gravitated towards Ken, gripping onto his arm and showing his anxiety.
