"Mina-san, we have prepared some drinks. You can come and get them here. There are also some for first graders!"

I saw two girls wearing the uniforms of Baishan High School working together to carry an incubator into the pergola and shouting to the members.

Senior members gathered around to get drinks.

"Oh, thank you, senior!"

"Thank you Moriyama-san and Kato-san for your hard work."

Hiroki also told the first graders to take a break, "Please drink some water and take the test again later. You can also come and get to know the seniors."

Nishino Tetsu and the others then tidied up and gathered around to get drinks.

Although the Hakusan High School Baseball Club is said to be a weak team, in the small town of Hakusan Town, the Hakusan High School Baseball Club is considered one of the largest clubs in the school. There are more than a dozen new members joining steadily every year, and the three grades combined

There are about forty members. Although it is not as exaggerated as those in private schools with nearly a hundred members, it is still a lot.

Therefore, even though Hakusan High School is a prefectural high school, the basic funds for the baseball club are still relatively sufficient.

"First grader, my name is Kato Monami, a third grader, and now I am the manager of the baseball club. Please take care of me." The taller senior introduced herself with a smile.

Tetsu Nishino looked over and saw that the senior named Kato Momami was about 1.6 meters tall, had long straight hair, and was a little chubby.

The other senior sister is relatively petite, about 1.5 meters tall and has short hair that reaches her ears. She looks cute when she smiles, Nishino Tetsu thought to himself.

"Mina-san, I am Aoi Moriyama. You can call me Aoi-senpai. Please take good care of me in the future."

The smaller Moriyama Aoi-senpai also introduced herself.

Unexpectedly, there are two female managers in the baseball club, Tetsu Nishino thought to himself.

After Tetsu Nishino got the drink, he walked to the arbor on the other side and sat down to drink.

The cold and refreshing water enters the stomach all the way, taking away a lot of heat in an instant.

"Ah, it feels so good," Nishino Tetsuo sighed.

A bottle of iced drink after exercise is so comforting.

Although it is only April, the weather is quite nice today. Moreover, Japanese high school baseball activities are usually held during the hottest time of the day, so it must be extremely hot for everyone.

But Tetsu Nishino used to be in the football club, so he is used to this kind of situation.

Tetsu Nishino looked over to the seniors and found that they were chatting with Supervisor Higashi Takuji and Hiroki.

"I'm a little concerned,"

"Why do Aoi-senpai's eyes make people feel so good... Well, I still don't know how to describe it..."

Nishino Tetsu thought.

Suddenly Tetsu Nishino was tapped on the shoulder.

"Azhe, how is it? How is it?"

"How about what?"

It turned out that Kazuya Nishino sat over.

Nishino Kazuya drank a drink and leaned back comfortably on the stool.

"Oh, I'm talking about seniors! Our baseball club has two female managers. This is a benefit that the football club doesn't have." Nishino Kazuya whispered.

Indeed, Tetsu Nishino had never met a female manager when he was in the football club, and they were usually held by male club members.

In fact, sports clubs in Japanese high schools are basically like this. More than 90% of them are male members who also serve as managers. After all, the male high school students in the sports club are all sweaty and tanned.

If she didn't really like baseball, which female high school student would be willing to be a manager for the boys in the baseball club.

The Hakusan High School Baseball Club has two third-year seniors as managers, which can also be used to illustrate that the baseball atmosphere in Hakuyama Town is indeed very good.

"It's okay." Nishino Tetsu replied.

Nishino Kazuya said: "That's right, but having a girl is much better than not having one. Zhe, you have to cherish it! Hehe."

"Hey, hey, why should you cherish it? It sounds like I'm going to do something..."

Tetsu Nishino was teased again and could only smile helplessly.

However, Aoi-senpai's eyes always give Tetsu Nishino a feeling that she is very happy, especially when she smiles. Tetsu Nishino can directly read her sincere love for baseball. It is true that she is now the manager of the baseball club.

Very happy and cheerful.

"Like Kazuya, we are both people who really love baseball."

Nishino Tetsu sighed in his heart.

At this time, Moriyama Aoi-senpai suddenly looked towards Nishino Tetsu and the two of them.

His eyes met with Tetsu Nishino's.

"Eh?"

"Eh!?"

"Um."

"Uh-huh."

Tetsu Nishino nodded towards Wasabi Mori and gestured politely.

Yokoyama Aoi also nodded politely, "Huh? A strange junior."

"Those two guys over there are pretty good and have potential."

Hiroki looked towards Tetsu Nishino and the others and introduced them to the two female managers.

“You’re only in first grade, and your potential is already visible to the naked eye.”

"There is great potential, but it still depends on growth. If the two of them grow up, there may be a professional baseball player from Hakusan High School in the future." Higashi Takuji also said, obviously Hakusan High School can cultivate students with the potential to enter the profession.

He is also looking forward to it as a baseball student.

There are roughly two ways to train professional baseball players in Japan. One is to enter the youth training camp of a professional baseball team. The other is to take the route of campus baseball.

Because Japanese campus baseball has a complete training mechanism, there are basically baseball clubs from elementary school to junior high school, to high school, and to university. And various official competitions provide a lot of training opportunities.

The most famous among them are the various national competitions organized by the College Field Football League. In these competitions, legends such as Hideki Matsui, Daisuke Matsusaka, and Ichi Suzuki were born.

Supervisor Higashi Takuji also very much hopes that he can cultivate players who have the potential to enter professional baseball. If Nishino Tetsu and the two show enough potential, Higashi Takuji will not mind giving them more opportunities.

Hiroki saw that all the first-year students had almost rested.

"Okay! Get ready to start the pitching test!"

"yes!"

The pitching test here refers to the test of baseball's long-range throwing ability, not the pitcher's pitching. This test can examine the player's passing ability and observe whether he has the ability to make long passes. Because an outsider who can make long passes back to home plate

The improvement of fielders' defense is very obvious.

Hiroki asked them to stand at home plate and throw the ball hard toward center field.

When the first graders went up to throw the ball, their basic scores were between 70 and 80 meters.

Tetsu Nishino went up, took the baseball, adjusted his stance, and threw the ball with his right hand.

The ball flew far and landed on the outfield grass.

"91 meters."

"Oh, it's not bad. He has the potential to become a laser shoulder. As a catcher, he won't be afraid of the opponent stealing bases." Supervisor Higashikata commented.

It's Nishino Kazuya's turn.

"Azhe, keep an eye on it!"

I saw Kazuya Nishino leaning slightly sideways, holding a baseball in his left hand, and slowly raised his right foot.

"despair!"

Kazuya Nishino stepped forward suddenly, leaned his upper body forward continuously, and threw the baseball with his left hand!

"So fast!"

Tetsu Nishino saw the baseball flying towards the home run wall like a straight shadow.

"despair!"

The baseball finally landed not far from the home run wall.

"107 meters!"

"Wow," a first grader exclaimed.

The upperclassmen were not so surprised because they were familiar with Nishino Kazuya.

"What the hell? We are all in first grade, why are those two guys so awesome! How can we play together in the future?"

"Yeah, one or two, I just want to play baseball."

"Wouldn't that be better? If we rely on them to lead us, maybe we will have a chance to break into Koshien in the future!"

"It's not that easy..."

...

The first graders seemed to have become familiar with each other and joked with each other.

"Kazuya's pitching is really good, the ball speed is really fast," Tetsuya Nishino exclaimed.

However, Tetsu Nishino suddenly thought of it.
Chapter completed!
