There are often countless monotonous training sessions between games.

It has been almost a month now. Director Hiroki and Supervisor Higashi Takuji estimated that the first graders should have adapted to soft ball training, so they began to change all the first grade training content to hard baseball, and followed them.

Joint training for grades.

After soft ball training, although the first-grade beginners are still very weak, at least they are no longer afraid of the ball, and the training effect is much better.

"despair!"

The sound of a baseball hitting the ground and bouncing.

During this time, Tetsu Nishino was training as a catcher. Today's training was about catching the ball.

During the game, many of the pitcher's missed pitches and the fielder's balls returned to home plate hit the dirt in front of home plate and then quickly bounced toward the catcher.

Such a rebound ball is very fast and the direction after rebound is uncertain. It simply challenges the catcher's reaction nerves.

Hiroki hit the baseballs on the ground in front of Nishino Tetsu. After Nishino Tetsu stopped the ball, he put the baseballs behind him. Moriyama Aoi was responsible for collecting the scattered baseballs into the ball box and carrying them to Hiroki.

Next to the tree, baseballs are constantly being replenished.

"despair!"

The baseball bounced so high that Tetsu Nishino had to stand up to catch the ball.

"despair!"

The ball bounced almost close to the ground. Tetsu Nishino quickly knelt down and clamped the ball with his thighs before blocking the ball.

"despair!"

The height of the baseball bounced right up to the chest of Tetsu Nishino, who was crouching to catch him, but the ball speed was too fast. Tetsu Nishino had no time to move his left hand wearing the catcher's mitt, so he could only press it down with his chest.

The baseball hit the protective gear and landed in front of Tetsu Nishino, still within his control.

Before Tetsu Nishino could take a breath.

"despair!"

Another baseball hit him, this one too wide. Tetsu Nishino quickly stood up, moved his position, and caught the ball with his glove.

"Okay, let's take a rest first."

Seeing that the ball box was empty, Hong Shu also took the opportunity to take a rest.

"call"

"call"

"call"

The continuous rapid reactions and actions made Tetsu Nishino gasp for air, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

This kind of mechanical movement only takes more than 10 seconds to perform, but it takes more than an hour to do it, and it needs to be repeated hundreds of times in an afternoon.

Monotonous and boring training consumes a lot of Nishino Tetsu's physical strength and energy. But without these basic training, it would be impossible to make the correct action in an instant in any situation encountered during the game.

While sitting and resting, Hiroki said to Tetsu Nishino with a smile.

"Zhejun, your reaction is so quick. I deliberately hit you some balls that missed a lot, but I didn't expect you to stop them all."

Because he has been with Nishino Tetsuya for a while, Hiroki has become a lot familiar with him and has become more familiar with him in conversation.

But Tetsu Nishino heard Hiroki's words and complained with a wry smile.

"ah?!"

"It turns out that you did it on purpose, senior. Why did the ball miss so much? Senior... I'm so exhausted..."

Hiroki patted Nishino Tetsu's shoulder and said trustingly: "Haha, it's okay. I believe you. Let's continue later."

Nishino Tetsu smiled helplessly.

…………

I don’t know if the switch to hard ball training gave the first grade students a feeling of “upgrading”. They were particularly active in today’s training. As a result, the afternoon training time was spent with the feeling that they still had unfinished business.

Before leaving, Supervisor Dongtuosi summoned all the members and said.

"The transitional stage for the first grade is almost over. I'm going to arrange a red-white match in two days, where the first grade team will play the senior team. What do you think?"

The senior members shouted one after another.

"No problem."

"Supervisor, hurry up and make arrangements. It's been a long time coming."

"Yes, how could we forget about traditional projects?"

"We will give a good welcome to the younger generations."

However, the first graders are a little panicked. It is so hard to play in the junior high school here. If they are playing against the seniors, they are not going to suffer a disastrous defeat.

Seeing the expressions of the first graders changing one after another, Supervisor Higashikata thought it was a bit funny and said.

"First-year students don't need to worry so much. The competition will not affect the selection of the first army. Our first army in Baishan is different. It is not decided by me, but by the members themselves."

"If you feel you can spend more time in the baseball club, you can apply to join the first army. If you can't spare much time, you can also stay in the second army."

Supervisor Higashikata added: "So there are no assessment requirements for this competition. It just lets you first-year students see the strength of the seniors, which is the result of hard training."

Finally, Supervisor Higashi Takuji smiled kindly and said: "And I am the referee. It is up to the two teams to arrange the game. Everyone, enjoy baseball!"

"Yes, supervisor!" the seniors roared with great momentum.

"It's... Supervisor..." The first-year students looked at each other in confusion.

After the disbandment, the first graders gathered together to discuss.

"What's going on? If you fight with the seniors, you're bound to lose, right?"

"Not only will we lose, but I'm afraid we will lose by more than double digits."

"It's too bad, losing by 10 points."

"10 points? I said at least 20 points to start."

"Oh, the difference in strength is so huge."

"It's bigger than the gap between us and the junior high school..."

"Senior wouldn't want to teach us how to behave..."

"what to do……"

All the first graders had sad faces. Even Nishino Tetsu and Nishino Kazuya couldn't think of any good countermeasures.

Alas, thinking that his head hurt, Tetsu Nishino decided to have a little fun this time. He was thinking that he was a beginner, and things like game strategies were not his turn.

Just as he was thinking about it, center fielder Tata Iba suggested: "Didn't the supervisor just say that we should solve it ourselves? Let's just choose a temporary captain and decide."

Hmm?! Tetsu Nishino felt a little bad when he heard it.

According to the nature of human beings, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and only the first time and countless times, this troublesome candidate for the temporary captain may not be...

"Azhe, I'll leave this important task to you, okay? We believe in you."

Kazuya Nishino patted Tetsu Nishino on the shoulder and said proudly.

"Yes, please, Chesang!"

Others also echoed, they really think Nishino Tetsuo did a good job.

I knew it would be like this, Nishino Tetsu thought. But he didn't object to being the temporary captain, so he agreed.

On the way home.

Nishino Tetsu complained: "Kazuya, you guy, you cheat me every time..."

"I don't have any!"

Nishino Kazuya immediately retorted, "I was thinking about you. Oh, you are a catcher. It will be of great benefit to you to gain everyone's unanimous approval!"

"Really?"

Nishino Tetsu looked at Kazuya Nishino who looked "sincere" with suspicion.
