Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 127 The unprecedented ace pitcher, Akatsuki Fanggu (two-in-one)

In the office of the supervisor of the Seido High School baseball team.

"what?"

Fang Guxiao exclaimed, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his eyeballs almost flew out.

"As an excellent pitcher, the first thing you must learn is to be calm! No matter what situation you encounter? You must maintain calm thinking and stable emotions."

Takashima Rei held his glasses with his ring finger and preached seriously.

"But……"

Fang Guxiao wanted to continue to defend.

But in the room, not one of the three giants of the baseball club was interested in listening to him.

The attitudes of the three people were exactly the same.

Obviously, before Fanggu Xiao came here.They have already discussed everything that should be discussed.

"Are you not confident?"

Director Kataoka asked calmly.

But just because his tone was too calm, Fang Guxiao felt that the air around him seemed to be getting stuffy.

The words he wanted to refuse came to his lips, but he swallowed them alive.

However, before he could speak, Director Kataoka continued: "Our team doesn't need a main pitcher who has no determination. If you don't have the confidence to stand on the mound, you can raise it now."

"I can put you on the bench or even in the second team."

"No!"

Fang Gu's brain didn't have time to think any more, and he rejected Supervisor Kataoka's proposal.

As a pitcher, and a relatively outstanding pitcher at that.

How could he refuse the offer to become the team's core pitcher?It was never his intention to give up the pitcher's mound to others.

"That's good, you go back and get ready. We will inform everyone after we have finished discussing it."

Just like that, Jiang Guxiao was kicked out.

"Snapped!"

The moment he went out, the door of the supervisor's office was slammed shut.

Jiang Guxiao swallowed subconsciously.

This was also the first time he discovered that the aura of their supervisor was so terrifying?
When Jiang Guxiao returned to the team, a group of melon-eating people immediately surrounded him.

Although the players of the Aomichi High School baseball team are not very clear about Koichiro Tanba's situation.

But one thing they knew very well.

The ace of their team has not fully recovered from his injury.

This also means that there will be big changes in the team next.

At this time, Akatsuki Furuya, one of the team's popular figures, was called by their supervisor and coach.

The Bagua soul in everyone was naturally ignited.

"Are the remaining places confirmed?"

"Are you a stupid pig? Those few quotas are confirmed, what does it have to do with Jiang Gu..."

"Does the supervisor want you to be the team's ace?"

Hearing Kuramochi's question, Akatsuki Furuya himself was fine.

Tanba Koichiro shot over with a cold gaze.

Since shaving his head, Danbo seems to have stronger aura.

So much so that even his own teammates from the Seido High School baseball team were very uncomfortable seeing the look in Tanba's eyes.

"I, I'm kidding!"

Not only Kuramochi, but other players on the Aomichi High School baseball team obviously don't think so either.

Let a first-year player be the ace?
Although this does not happen often in the history of the Seido High School baseball team, it is not without precedent.

Not to mention anyone else, just Kataoka, the current supervisor of their team.

When he was on the team, he served as the team's ace since the first grade.And led the team to dominate the field in Jiaziyuan.

You can also count the others on your fingers.

But these people have one thing in common.

Without exception, they all started to serve as the team's ace in the fall of their first year, that is, after their third-year seniors left the team.

In the summer of the first grade, a newcomer who has joined the team for less than three months is competing in Koshien as the team's ace?

This kind of thing has never happened before in the history of the Seido High School baseball team, or even in the history of the top clubs in the country.

A wealthy team needs pitchers, and to what extent?
Will he let a newcomer who has just joined the team for two months serve as the team's ace?
Even if the Aomichi High School baseball team's next pitching lineup is up to Akatsuki Fukitani.

He won't really get the ace position either.

Faced with the enthusiasm of his companions, Fang Guxiao just kept smiling awkwardly.

He didn't say a word.

With everyone's intelligence, everyone can guess pretty much without Jiang Guxiao saying anything.

Among this group of people, one is special.

That was Sawamura, another first-year pitcher.

He looked at Akatsuki Furuya expectantly and asked, "I heard from Kuramochi-senpai that the team is about to announce the first team number. Is there any Chris-senpai?"

During the previous period, Chris had been giving Sawamura Eijun a small start.Sawamura's rapid growth in strength is also based on this reason.

I have to say that the relationship between master and disciple is still very good.

Sawamura is now training with the First Army, and the little guy takes it for granted that he is already a member of the First Army at this time.

So he was not worried about himself at all, but worried about his master Chris.

The little guy didn't know that although he was training with the players of the First Army, the fact that he didn't get an official number didn't mean that he was a player of the First Army.

"Do you think the supervisor will discuss such a big matter with me? You think too highly of me!"

Jiang Guxiao smiled bitterly.

Even their team captain Yuki doesn't know the news. Why do these guys think that he will know about it?

"In other words, are we really going to announce our ID number?"

Although Akatsuki Furigu didn't reveal much, his friends were still keenly aware of the team's next move.

The number is about to be announced!
"I don't know which lucky person will be selected for the big list."

There are now a total of 23 players in the first army. If you include Chris, there are 24 players.

The position of the core force cannot be shaken.

Calculating this way, out of the dozen or so people on the bench, 4 people have to be kicked out.

Kanemaru, Maezono, Sawamura, Chris, Haruichi Kominato, and two second-year guys...

These people have the highest probability of being kicked out.

When it came time to announce their nicknames, the players on the Seido High School baseball team were still very nervous.

Whether it was the second grade or the third grade, everyone was silent a lot.

Even the noisy first-year players are no longer as lively as before.

They also began to seriously think about whether they could stay in the team?
That night, the players had just finished training and were preparing to have dinner in the restaurant.

The three giants of the Qingdao High School baseball team appeared in front of them in a hurry.

"Sorry to take up everyone's time for a few minutes."

Once the list was finalized, Director Kataoka did not want to delay for a second.

He directly asked people to appear in front of everyone with the newly made back number and jersey.

"As you have seen, after discussions between me and the two ministers, the list for the summer competition was finally determined. Next, the players whose names were read came forward one by one to receive their back numbers and jerseys."

really!

Although the players of the Seido High School baseball team had already expected this scene.

When they heard the words of their supervisor with their own ears, everyone's hearts still couldn't calm down.

Winning the championship of the Kanto Conference has made the players of the Aomido High School baseball team full of expectations for the next summer competition.certainly.

There are so many players on the Seido High School baseball team that it is impossible for everyone to have a chance to participate.

According to the relevant regulations of the summer competition, they can select a total of 20 players to register.

And these 20 players are the Seido High School baseball team, a real army.

Director Kataoka held a list in his hand.

He looked at the list and was stunned for a full two seconds before he spoke.

"Number one!"

Just announce the ace’s number directly?
Even though they had already expected it in their hearts, the players of the Seido High School baseball team would still unconsciously glance back and forth at Akatsuki Furiya and Tanba.

The supervisor of the Qingdao High School baseball team and the two ministers of their team had a heated argument before.

But for the players of the Seido High School baseball team, they have never been so hesitant.

The team's ace is either their previous ace Koichiro Tanba.

This probability is the highest, exceeding [-]%.

As for the remaining [-]%, the players on the Seido High School baseball team thought it was ridiculous.

But that [-]% can only be Jiang Guxiao.

All the players on the Seido High School baseball team never thought about letting Kawakami serve as the team's ace.

The team's ace not only has pitching ability, but also has that kind of spirit.

As long as the ace pitcher is present, the team's players will develop confidence...

Kawakami clearly doesn't have that quality.

As for Sawamura Eijun, even though the young man himself, he already regarded himself as a member of the army.

But strictly speaking, he is not an official member of the Seido High School baseball team.

When the team played in the Kanto Conference, this little guy was still sitting in the stands.

Director Kataoka read out the name without pausing for long.

"First grade, Fang Guxiao!"

"what??"

The players on the Qingdao High School baseball team are all very professional.

When their supervisor announced the secret number, everyone stayed as silent as possible, not wanting to disturb their supervisor.

But when they heard that name from their own supervisor's mouth, many people at the scene exclaimed in surprise.

"How could it be him?"

"He's still a freshman, a freshman!"

"How many months has it been since he joined the team? Less than two months..."

"Even if the Kanto Conference can win the championship, it's all thanks to him. But with the violence of his pitching, how long can he stay on the mound?"

As expected, everyone was shocked.

Seeing such scenes around her, Fanggu Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

When Director Kataoka talked to him about this matter before, Akatsuki Furuya was just like the companions around him.

I was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it!
If it wasn't for their supervision, I wouldn't have the habit of drinking.

Akatsuki Furuya couldn't help but wonder, did Director Kataoka drink too much?

Otherwise, how could he be so messy?

Seeing the reactions of the disciples in front of him, Director Kataoka looked indifferent.

He had already anticipated all this when he announced the news.

"I know what everyone is thinking? But this matter has been decided."

Director Kataoka said calmly.

"Jiang Guxiao, why don't you come up and get your bearing number?"

Hearing the supervisor's call, Jiang Guxiao could only trot forward and take the number in his hand.

Their supervisor and minister had already made up their mind to roast him on the fire.

Since she was unable to refute, Fanggu Xiao could only accept it with her eyes closed.

Originally, Jiang Guxiao thought that he must be the target of public criticism at this time.

No matter how well he performed before or how well he got along with the second and third grade students.

After all, he is only a first-year player.

But contrary to his expectation, his second and third grade seniors did not pay attention to him at this time.

Everyone looked at Tanba.

Tanba Koichiro's face was as pale as paper.

Obviously, this incident was a huge blow to the former ace of the Seido High School baseball team.

And he is different from Fang Guxiao.

Fang Guxiao had already received the news before, so he was not very surprised.

But Tamba is different.

Danbo, who had not received any news before, suffered a double blow both externally and internally.

"Is there something really wrong with this guy's injury?"

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team experienced tremendous inner suffering.

be honest.

Denbo did not become the team's ace, and a feeling of despair arose in their hearts unconsciously.

Director Kataoka saw the misunderstanding in everyone's eyes, but he did not explain it immediately.

"Congratulations, Fukitani-san!"

"Thank you for the supervision, thank you for the minister, thank you for the deputy minister..."

Jiang Guxiao said three words of thanks in a row.

"You don't have to thank us, you deserve everything."

Although before, Ohta objected to Akatsuki Furuya being the team's ace.

But he is more motivated by the interests of the team.

This does not mean that his private relationship with Fang Guxiao will cause any problems because of this?
He was also really happy for Jiang Guxiao.

"Do you know, Furitani-san, that you are the first first-year player on our Aomichi High School baseball team to become the team's ace in the summer tournament?"

Takashima Rei asked.

"The first one?"

I really didn't know about this before Jiang Guxiao.

After he found out, he felt even more flattered.

Even in those ordinary teams, it is common for seniors to bully their juniors.

Not to mention, a wealthy family like Qingdao.

Logically speaking, the hierarchy of wealthy teams is stricter.

Even if it is just for name recognition, the second and third grade seniors should be allowed to serve as the team's ace.

It is impossible to directly promote him, he is a first grader who has just joined the team.

Narimiya Naru of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, and Mukai Taiyo, a first-year pitcher of Teito High School.

Although they showed strong pitching ability before the first-grade summer competition.

Their pitching is even better than that of their team's ace.

But even so, they waited until the autumn competition to truly ascend to the throne of ace.

At this time, Akatsuki Fangiya is serving as the ace of a wealthy team, which is absolutely unprecedented!
