Mie Prefecture, Japan.

White Mountain High School Baseball Field.

Because many first-year students had just joined the club and had varying physical fitness, Gochi Iwata decided to take them through some basic training first.

"Build up your physical fitness first," Iwata secretly said.

"It's almost time. You guys should follow me around the stadium."

After Iwata Gochi said that, he took Nishino Tetsu and others and ran away.

...

5:45 p.m.

"Ding ding ding" the bells in the campus rang.

This is the reminder bell of Baishan High School. Usually at this time, it is almost time for students to leave school and go home.

However, there are no mandatory requirements for this reminder bell.

As long as they wish, various extracurricular activities clubs can continue to stay in the school for activities or training.

Of course, the prerequisite is the consent of the instructor.

"Okay, it's almost done." Gochi Iwata motioned to Tetsu Nishino and the others to stop.

"So fast?" Tetsu Nishino thought while breathing heavily.

I only ran about ten laps.

"That's it for today. After all, it's just your first day joining the club."

"But it won't be so easy tomorrow." Gochi Iwata reminded them.

"Yes! Senior!"

Supervisor Totoji also stopped the members of the First Army, "Okay, that's it for today."

"Oh, that's great, let's eat and eat."

"I'm so tired. I have to take a shower quickly."

"Come back tomorrow."

The seniors of the First Army also stopped their movements one after another, preparing to pack up and go back.

Under normal circumstances, the training of the Baishan High School club can be completed by this time. The teacher will not force the students to stay for additional training.

This is also the guideline for supervision by Toto Division.

"Focus on the wishes of the players"

In this way, students' participation in club activities is more voluntary, rather than reduced to painful collective activities, and eventually they lose their love for the sport itself, leading to the phenomenon of withdrawal.

If there are students who have higher requirements for themselves, Dongtuosi will also provide corresponding guidance and supervision.

"Come here and help clean up." Hiroki asked them to help pick up the baseballs scattered in the infield and outfield.

Everyone tidied up together and the baseball field was quickly tidied up.

The members of the junior high school finished training earlier and returned home.

Nishino Tetsuya packed up his things and prepared to go back.

Most of the students in the White Mountain High School Baseball Club live on campus, but some who are closer to school choose to study as day students.

Hiroki found Tetsu Nishino, "Tetsu-kun, I am responsible for the catcher training. I will give you guidance when I have time."

"Okay, I'd like to trouble you, senior."

Kazuya Nishino put on his backpack and walked over.

"Azhe, let's go."

"Um."

Nishino Kazuya's family is the landlord of Nishino Tetsuya's small restaurant. In fact, their two homes are very close.

So the two of them often go home together.

...

On the road.

"Would you like to come to my house and play two games? Hehe." Nishino Kazuya asked.

"Goodbye, let me practice for a few more days before fighting. Besides, there is still training in the Ministry of Heaven."

Tetsu Nishino refused.

"Let's wait another day, Kazuya."

"Oh well."

After saying that, Tetsu Nishino and the others went home to rest.

A night of silence.

...

Over the next week.

Tetsu Nishino and the others conduct certain physical training every day.

There will also be some alternating training with the ball, and I won’t say that you won’t be allowed to touch the ball during physical training.

The basic skills of baseball actually require diligent practice over time and over a period of time before you can master them proficiently. In many cases, what is needed is the formation of physical memory.

On the baseball field.

"Come on, come on! Run faster!"

"Be more careful with your movements!"

"Pass the ball!"

The infielders on the field are practicing passing between the bases and practicing on power balls.

Gochi Iwata, deputy director of the baseball department, kept roaring.

“Pay attention to anticipating the batter’s movements in advance!”

"A hitter must be ready as soon as he swings the bat!"

"Otherwise, it would be too late to wait until the ball comes before taking action!"

"React, react! React faster!"

Looking at their clumsy movements, Gochi Iwata shouted until his throat was almost dry.

"We still need to practice more." As the deputy director of the baseball club, Gochi Iwata feels that he needs to help his juniors overcome the habit of waiting for the ball and fearing the ball.

Tetsu Nishino was also doing infield training, but he was also very clumsy.

According to Gochi Iwata, the catcher is responsible for arranging the position of the fielder. If the catcher does not understand the fielding characteristics of the fielder, how can he arrange the defensive line?

Tetsuya Nishino also understands this deeply.

"Qiang."

Gochi Iwata hit a powerful shot.

Tetsu Nishino quickly moved over and stretched out his glove to catch the ball.

"despair!"

The white ball bounced on the ground, bounced irregularly, and missed Tetsu Nishino's hand.

"..."

"Qiang."

Gochi Iwata hit another powerful shot.

This time the ball was hit too high. Tetsu Nishino predicted it, quickly took a few steps back, and jumped hard.

In mid-air, the white ball suddenly flew over Nishino Tetsu's glove.

"..."

Didn’t receive it again!

Tetsu Nishino was a little annoyed.

"Okay, Tetsu Nishino, please go down and rest first, it's time for the next one." Gochi Iwata shouted.

"Yes, senior."

After walking to the pergola and sitting down, Tetsu Nishino opened a bottle of water and took a sip.

Hiroki was also resting in the pergola and asked: "How is it? How does it feel to be a fielder?"

"Hello, senior, well, it's much more difficult than I thought." Tetsu Nishino answered truthfully.
