The original intention of the diamond ace

The street in the early morning is very quiet, and the cool air is very comfortable to run.

Leg presses in the backyard after warming up with dad.

"By the way, boy, have you decided what position to play?" Toru asked me casually.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it feels very interesting. If you have a chance, you can try them all." I replied with a light smile.

Well, what position is more fun to play this time.

"Hahaha, then practice the outfield with me first. Anyway, you have no foundation at all, and you have nothing to choose."

"Row."

After catching fly balls and ground balls with my dad for a while, I started swinging.

"It's time to eat." Grandma came out of the house.

"Not bad, quite talented, worthy of being my son."

I turned my head a little uncomfortably. These two items are basically the foundation of the foundation. It is a bit embarrassing to be praised.But this body is still not the same as before. The swing posture before is weird to use now, so I have to adjust it.

"Dad, is there a percussion hall near here?"

"Yes, I'll take you there after eating."

"Okay, thank you."

In a few days, we are going back to the United States.

"Mom, we'll be back at Christmas, take care of yourself."

"I know, you should be more careful at ordinary times. You are already such a grown-up person, so you should be more stable at ordinary times."

…………

Half a year later, at home in St. Louis.

"Do you really don't need me to accompany you? It's too lonely to go alone."

"It's really unnecessary. How many times have I been there? It's okay. And you're going to spring training soon. Get ready now."

"Oh, my son is getting older, it's hard to manage." He muttered.

I pretended not to hear.

After a long journey, I finally arrived in Tokyo, Japan.

"Grandma, here I come."

"Xiaohe, why don't you tell me, I can pick you up earlier."

"It's okay, I remember this way."

After putting away my luggage, I sat down by the fireside with several newspapers beside me, 'Northland boy has [-] strikeouts!Qingdao stopped at the quarterfinals', it really didn't make it to the end.

I picked up the teacup, and it was only one hit, which was completely suppressed.But even if it's just through the video, this weird boy is pretty good. If they match up at the end, he might be replaced by a war of attrition, but it's too early to match up.

"Xiaohe, when will you take the exam?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"How's the preparation?"

"no problem."

"Grandma, I want to live in the dormitory in the future, okay?"

"Isn't it okay to live at home? It's not far away."

"No, I just haven't lived in it yet, I want to try it. I will come back to see you on the weekend."

"Okay, then you have to get along well with others when you live in the dormitory, don't let me hear you fighting with others."

"Will not."

…………

After that, I passed the exam and submitted my application to the baseball club before school started.

Oh, is this the dormitory of the sports department of the high school? It looks like this.Let me see, here it is.

Yes, Nakamura, Tojo Hideaki.

When I opened the door, I saw two people, one was sitting on a chair and writing something, the other was sitting on the bed nursing gloves.

"Hi, I'm Kazu Oda, a new student." I bowed.

"Oh, is this a freshman? I'm Ya Nakamura, a third-year student. That's your bed." After finishing speaking, he continued to lower his head and wipe his gloves.

"I'm Tojo Hideaki in the second grade. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask us. Don't think that the senior seems a little cold, but he is actually a little shy. By the way, you are quite tall, so you can't see it at all. It's a freshman." He turned around and looked at me with a smile.

"Okay, senior. Maybe it's because I'm a mixed race."

"No wonder your eyes are blue."

…………

Early the next morning, it was still not very bright.

It's too early to wake up, is it always like this in the future, Japanese high school students are really hard.I yawned while thinking, and walked slowly to the end of the line.What do you want to introduce yourself, hobbies?personality traits?

"My name is... I was born in middle school. I hope to be the third baseman. I hope to become the team's clearer in the future."

Oh oh, this is the baseball team's self-introduction, it's really getting more and more fun.I smiled and looked at the tense or calm figure in front of me.Ah - just a little sleepy, let's squint a little, there are quite a lot of people in front.

"I'm Shoji Yuki from Chitang Middle School, because I don't want to limit my possibilities, I want to try all positions!"

Suddenly it got a little noisy, and I looked up.Not only the freshmen, but also the seniors opposite seemed to be quite interested in this person.I looked curiously at the big tall one in front of me.

Well, he's tall and muscular, but his calves are a bit thick, so he shouldn't be able to run very fast. If his slugging rate is good, he should be a good first baseman.

"For me, high school baseball is just a transit point. I want to be an active player in the major leagues in the future."

Oh, kids these days have so many ideas. I was in Japan for a few years before I thought about going to the big leagues. I hope your strength can match your big words.

"I am Kaoru Yui from Mamiya senior. I have been a catcher since I was a child, so I don't consider positions other than catcher."

Another person who sparked everyone's discussion. Is this little guy really that powerful? There are really many different people.

"I am... Hirofumi Asada, I hope... yesterday..."

This pitcher is a bit too thin, but the two noisy seniors on the opposite side should be the grounder and the fast runner.

"I'm Takuma Seto from Daekyo senior, and I want to be the second baseman! I'm quite confident in my footwork."

"I'm Mitsushuk Okumura from Daikyo senior. I hope to be a catcher. I don't have any particular player."

It's another catcher, he looks pretty good, there are so many catchers in Qingdao.ah!Hahahahaha, that pitcher picked up the one next to him, so he is a person with this personality, really interesting, it seems that many interesting things will happen in the future.

…………

Finally, it's almost here, and there are too many people.

"My name is Kazuo Oda. I have been a pitcher for a while. I don't have any favorite positions. I hope I can try more."

"I'm Kataoka, who is the supervisor." This supervisor is very suitable for starting the car.

"I'm Ochiai. I'm the coach."

"As you all know, our team..."

I don’t know if the cafeteria here is good or not. By the way, when to eat, I wake up early in the morning, sleepy and hungry, alas.

"...The attitude and posture of the seniors during practice. It is reflected in what Koshien has experienced and learned..."

To put it so exaggeratedly, is Jiashien so magical? Isn't it just a few games, and seven or eight days can make the whole team different?

"First of all, we must use our bodies to feel the baseball we are pursuing."

Wow, this is really exciting, but it goes without saying that I will do this, after all, this is what I came here for.

"The first graders go to playground B to do physical strength test, and the second and third graders go to playground A to do all exercises! Finished......"

But those are things for the future. The key now is to go to the first army. I may still have a little difficulty now, and there is still not enough time.

"Freshmen come here, start from this line, and run ten laps for timing. You guys get ready now, it will start in 5 minutes."

Ten laps is okay, but you still have to control your speed a little bit. If you run too hard, you may not be able to eat, and it will be even more troublesome after that.

"Get ready to run!"

"One, two, three, four..." The second one, it's okay, but this little guy really surprised me, he was able to follow me all the time, is he so physically strong?

Yui was also surprised by me at this time. He looked at the tall figure in front of him and sized him up carefully, "He's quite tall, about 185?The muscles are quite strong, the eyes are blue, and the facial features are not the same. Foreigners?But such a person, I didn't notice it at all before, I can only say that he is worthy of a famous family, there are so many powerful people, but I will not admit defeat. '

It's finally time to eat. Although I said that I would feel sick after eating and exercising, I really have no energy if I don't eat all the time.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a few big characters. You must eat more than three bowls when you eat. Three bowls are a little bit reluctant, but it should be... okay... can... this is a bowl? !Still piled up so high, I didn't expect the first trouble to be this.
