Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 128 List! ([-]-in-[-])

Akatsuki Fukitani becomes the team's new ace.

The players on the Seido High School baseball team don't find this surprising.

Tanbo is injured, so the only one in their team who can play the ace position is Akatsuki Fukiya.

But Supervisor Kataoka completely ignored Tanba and directly gave the No. [-] nickname to Akatsuki Furuya.

Everyone was still surprised.

This is not at all like what their supervisor would do.

But their supervisor did just that.

The players have countless thoughts in their minds, but at this moment, they cannot say a word.

"It's nothing new for a first-year player to be the team's ace. You don't have to think too much, just pitch with confidence."

Director Kataoka also knew that he could not ask for too much for Akatsuki Furuya, who had just joined the team two months ago. He did not forget to comfort him when handing the number to Akatsuki Furuya.

"I will work hard!"

Fang Guxiao's voice was not high, but he spoke very firmly.

He had previously chosen to join the Seido High School baseball team because he wanted to become the team's ace.

It's just that this time is slightly earlier than he had expected.

Jiang Guxiao had already made preparations in her heart.

Everyone on the Seido High School baseball team heard the firmness in Akatsuki Furuya's tone.

The others didn't speak. Miyuki, who was partnered with Akatsuki Furigu, muttered something in a low voice.

"Some people are really born aces!"

Akatsuki Fukitani is not an idiot like Sawamura. Although he does not get involved in all aspects of the team, it does not mean that he does not understand.

In other words, Jiang Gu actually knows very well what does it mean for him to have the No. 1 nickname now?
Anyone else would be either extremely arrogant or flattered.

In this regard, it is estimated that even Narimiya Naru, known as the Prince of Tokyo, will not be an exception.

If he becomes the ace of their team before the summer of his freshman year, he will probably have his tail raised to the sky.

But Fang Guxiao didn't.

Does he know what kind of honor this number represents?Also know what kind of pressure this number will bring to him?
However, even so, he could deal with it calmly.

It is estimated that even on the court, he can maintain his previous normalcy.

Akatsuki Fukitani's own pitching talent is beyond doubt.

Not to mention their Qing Dao, looking at the whole country, players with this kind of talent are extremely rare.

It might even be the only one.

The next thing that will restrict Jiang Guxiao's growth may be his own consciousness.

A player will not be able to go far if he is not aware enough.

Now it seems that Jiang Guxiao's own consciousness is not low at all.

Just when Miyuki was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone behind him murmuring.

"Why? Aren't there still seniors in the second and third years? Damn it, let me let you be proud first. Sooner or later, I will take over the ace position."

The one who said these words was naturally another first-year pitcher, Eijun Sawamura.

Most people have seen Akatsuki Furuya's performance on the court and the respect and treatment he received within the team.

I guess I have long since given up on competition.

It's like Kawakami of their team has now positioned himself as a rotation pitcher.

He only competes with himself and hopes he can do better on the mound.But I no longer have any extravagant hopes to pull Fang Guxiao from the ace position...

The guy behind Miyuki is different.

He obviously hasn't given up on this idea yet. He still wants to go to the arena to have a showdown with Akatsuki Fukigu.

"Although it's a pity that Tanba-senpai is injured, it's not bad to have these two guys with him..."

Miyukiichi also had a vague feeling.

Maybe their next summer competition will depend on these two little guys.

Just when Miyuki was thinking this, he heard the supervisor calling his name.

"No. [-], Miyuki Kazuya!"

As the team's main catcher, there's nothing wrong with him getting this number.

Even if Chris might come back.

Chris, who has just recovered from his injury, can hardly pose a threat to the defense.

"No. [-], first baseman, Tetsuya Yuki!"

The captain of the Qingdao High School baseball team is a typical boring gourd, who usually talks like gold.

But his performance in the strike zone is comparable to the top sluggers in the country.

Even if it is, his fielding, stealing bases...

Those are also the top levels in the country!
With him around, the Seido High School baseball team seems to have a backer.

"The rest is up to you, Captain!"

"Yuki-senpai!!!"

Yuuki is extremely popular in the team.

Although Akatsuki Furuya is now born, who is the face of their team at this time?

There is no doubt that it is still the captain Tetsuya Yuki.

"No. 4, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato!"

A short player walked up to Director Kataoka with a smile and took the number from his hand.

"Ryosuke-senpai, even his smile is so scary."

"elder brother!!"

At the back of the team, a first-year rookie player whispered.

The two are brothers, and they are in the same position.

"No. 5, third baseman, Toru Masuko!!"

Competition for the third base position on the Seido High School baseball team is fierce.

After many rounds of competition, Masuko finally managed to become the main player by relying on her steady performance and the strongest strength of the entire team.

"Masuko-senpai, well done!!"

The two players in the same dormitory, Sawamura Eijun and Kuramochi, all raised their hands in support.

"Ugh!!"

Masuko gave them a bodybuilder pose in return.

It can be seen that Masuko-senpai is very excited.

The main positions of several other players are certain.

No one is surprised at all.

But Masuko's main position is different, which is suspenseful.

Is it precisely because of the suspense before that Masuko was so excited when the result was settled?
"Number Six, shortstop, Yoichi Kuramochi!"

"Hee-hop!!"

Immediately afterwards, another player from dormitory No. 5 also walked out of the team.

The competition for the shortstop position of the Seido High School baseball team is not small.

One of the third-year players performed extremely well.

But Kuramochi's speed, coupled with his tacit cooperation with Ryosuke Kominato, formed the famous iron wall second team of the Seido High School baseball team.

He eventually excelled and became the main shortstop of the Seido High School baseball team.

"No. 7, left fielder, Ichiro Itai!"

"Thank you for the supervision! Thank you for the coach! Thank you for everyone!!!"

A player who was also very tall had tears in his eyes at this time.

When he took the number from his supervisor, a crystal teardrop even fell from his eyes.

He was even more excited than the first two people to get this number.

"Don't act like you have no future. You got it by your own strength. Keep your chest up, you idiot!!"

Isashiki Jun, who has a mustache, is extremely dissatisfied with the performance of his companions.

He is obviously tall and tall, but his personality is so introverted.

"I..." Banjing was stunned for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, what he did was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But there is no way.

He was so excited that his little heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"No. [-], the backbone, Isashiki Jun!!"

Before the mustachioed senior could continue, the supervisor read his name.

This is another undisputed choice.

The current third-year players on the Qingdao High School baseball team were highly questionable when they first joined the team.

Their record in junior high school was not impressive at all.

This is not the most depressing.

The most disappointing thing is that after joining the team, they did not show any outstanding performance.

So much so that their seniors at the time didn't think highly of them.

People who eat melons even shouted slogans for a bad harvest year.

This is undoubtedly a huge derogation and insult to players of the same grade.

However, no one expected that these seemingly ordinary players would grow rapidly in the next two years.

They have gradually become the main force of the team in their second grade, and now they have become the backbone of the team.

As long as they are standing there...

Whether it’s the players on the Seido High School baseball team or the die-hard supporters of their team.

They all felt very at ease.

The players whose names were called, starting from No. [-] Jiangu Xiao, all stood in a row.

They held the numbers and new uniforms they had just received in their hands and showed them to the rest of the people.

"Nine, right fielder, Hakushu!"

The moment he heard the name, a young man in the team's eyes widened.

"Who?"

Sawamura has been a member of the Seido High School baseball team for some time.

Although he is not familiar with everyone on the team, he has generally met them and has an impression in his mind.

The name Baizhou was particularly unfamiliar to him.

When he looked up at the figure standing out, Sawamura felt even less calm.

He actually didn't recognize the young man in front of him at all.

"Is he also in our team?"

Although Sawamura Eijun was confused, he did not say anything.

So this little episode has no impact on the team.

The nine main players of the First Army stood in front of everyone one after another.

Director Kataoka paused deliberately just to let everyone on the team see their appearance clearly.

This is the main force of the Seido High School baseball team this year!
With them here, even if Koichiro Tanba is injured, Director Kataoka will have the confidence to lead the team to have a good encounter with their mortal enemies.

"You go down first!"

After introducing the nine main players of the first army, the rest are the substitutes.

"No. 10, Koichiro Tanba!"

Although Koichiro Tanba was not given the ace number, he was also given the first number besides the main player.

Tanba Koichiro didn't even know how he walked from the team to his own supervisor.

Like the walking dead, he took over the number from his own supervisor.

"It's a pity! According to the doctor, you have to rest for 1 to 3 months! It is impossible for our team to give up on the next integration just because you are alone. But I am sure that this difficulty will not defeat you. ."

Ok?
After hearing the words of his supervisor, Tanbo raised his head instantly.

Could it be that their supervisor still had expectations of him?

"I believe you will come back intact. Our team needs your strength!"

we need you!

It was this sentence that successfully made Danba, who was like a walking zombie, regain his vitality.

It turns out that the team never gave up on him?
Yes, if the team really gave up on him, how could they give him a number?
Let him occupy a spot.

Hearing the surging words of their supervisor, everyone on the Qingdao High School baseball team suddenly clapped their hands.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!!!!"

The scene was once very lively.

After Jiang Guxiao saw this scene, he curled his lips imperceptibly.

"As expected of a Chinese language teacher, he fools people into doing one thing after another!"

In just two sentences, the trouble caused by the ace's name was suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, No. 11 Kawakami, No. 12...

As of the 18th, the roster of the Qingdao High School baseball team has almost been announced.

Strictly speaking, these people actually don't have much suspense.

The team previously played in the Kanto Conference and won the Kanto Conference championship.

Although everyone plays a different role here, the entire team is mature.

With such an outstanding performance, the team will naturally not make changes easily.

As a result, only the last two places are left.

But there are seven people competing for these two places.

They are Chris Yu in the third grade, Kenta Maezono in the second grade, Eijun Sawamura in the first grade, Haruichi Kominato, and Shinji Kanemaru.

Beyond that, there's a third-year pitcher, and a second-year outfielder.

The others were fine. When the last two places were announced, all seven of them looked nervous.

Director Kataoka was also aware of the unusual atmosphere, but he did not hesitate and read out the chosen name directly.

"NO.19, first grade, Kominato Haruichi!!"

The one selected turned out to be Haruichi Kominato?

Not a third-year pitcher, not second-year slugger Maezono?

At this time, everyone's eyes became sharper than the others.

"No. 20, first grade, Sawamura Eijun!!"

Finally, another first-year player.

But compared to the first one, the second one is easier for everyone to accept.

Among the candidates, there are two pitchers.

One is Sawamura, and the other is a third-year pitcher.

They were all originally members of the Second Army.

But at that time, Sawamura Eijun was already the ace of the Second Army.

This guy who offended the supervisor as soon as he arrived and was punished by running was progressing as fast as a rocket.

In just two months, he went from being a non-staff member to the second army, and then to the ace of the second army.

Now, he has been directly promoted to the first army.

Now that Dambo is injured, the team is short of pitchers...

Sawamura Eijun will be chosen, and everyone is convinced.

But, Haruichi Kominato?
The players looked at the front garden and then at Chris.

I feel very sorry.

"and many more!!"

Sawamura Eijun didn't step forward to get the number at all. He seemed to suddenly realize something and stared at Chris in disbelief.

"Then, where is Senior Chris?"
