Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 24 First Army, Second Army (First update)
"Furitani-san joins the First Army. The First Army can be said to be even more powerful! So regarding the Second Army, how should supervision be considered?"

Takashima Rei asked enthusiastically.

The talent of Akatsuki Fukitani, the deputy director of the Seido High School baseball team, is highly recognized.

But even so, she didn't think that the people she brought were not good.

The performance of another first-year pitcher was equally eye-catching.

The fat Minister Ota frowned and asked in confusion: "Didn't his ball get knocked out by Masuko?"

The director of the baseball department also recognized that Sawamura's performance was good, but to say it was perfect, it was definitely not enough.

At least he's not on the same level as Jiang Guxiao.

What if it was so easy to be promoted?
Is it a little unfair to those players in the second team, especially those in the third grade who have not yet been able to join the second team?
Fang Guxiao was promoted, there was nothing he could do about it.

Everyone knows that the current Qingdao High School baseball team is in urgent need of an outstanding pitcher to join them to complement their team's current ace.

Or to put it more simply, they Qingdao currently lack the pitching ability.

Although Sawamura's performance is good, it is still too early for him to join the first army.

In this case, the team has to consider those third-year players who are about to retire.

After all, there is not much time left for those players.

If they are at this time, there is no way to replace the team and play.Then they may never be able to wear the clothes of the Qingdao High School baseball team and represent the team in their entire lives.

There are many players in the Qingdao High School baseball team. In such a wealthy team, not every player has the opportunity to represent the Qingdao High School baseball team in the competition.

Not even practice games.

If you want to represent the Seido High School baseball team in the game, you must first become a member of the First Army and the Second Army.

"Of course we have to take care of those third-year players!"

Takashima nodded.

Although they cannot take care of everyone, they still have to respect some players who work hard and sweat with the team.

"But this does not become a necessary condition for us to select players! We are a team determined to enter Koshien, and seniority is not suitable for us. Giving more opportunities to promising players is what we should do."

Minister Ohta subconsciously touched the back of his head.

As expected, the deputy director of their team has no favors to talk about when it comes to baseball matters.

At this time, she had become the embodiment of selflessness.

"Sawamura's pitching is indeed good, but it's not that his balls have never been knocked out. The reason why he only lost one point in the following rounds is, in addition to his own contribution, the rescues of Kominato and Akatsuki Furuya, It also plays a big role. Especially at the last moment, his pitches were continuously blasted to the outfield by players. If it hadn't been for Akatsuki Furigu's rescue, he might have been beaten and collapsed!"

Minister Ohta did not have any objections to Sawamura.He only hopes to get more opportunities for those second- and third-year players.

"At the last moment of the game, it was obvious that Sawamura's physical strength could no longer sustain it. That's why he made consecutive mistakes in his pitching! But before that, the only one that really hit him hard was Masuko-san's shot. Moreover, even if there is a coincidence, a person pitched five full innings and only allowed one run. Such a pitcher is worthy of our attention."

What Rei Takashima said was so hard to refute.

Even Minister Ohta had to admit that purely based on the final results, Sawamura's performance was indeed surprising.

Director Kataoka nodded.

Although he and this boy from Nagano had a little unpleasantness at the beginning.

But he never ignored this young man's talent.

Whether it was their initial contest or Sawamura's pitching in today's game.

Kataoka saw it all.

"Let's put him in the second army first. I plan to hand him over to Chris."

Director Kataoka obviously has a plan.The supervisor of the Seido High School baseball team actually knows very well what kind of position can Sawamura's current potential be fully exploited.

"Chris, that's a good idea."

Takashima Rei agreed.

Minister Ota, who was slightly chubby, touched his forehead and asked, "Chris, he is still busy with rehabilitation. Can he agree?"

"Definitely! In terms of professional baseball knowledge and fundamentals, no one on our team is more comprehensive than Chris."

"There is also the one named Kominato Haruichi. He should be Ryousuke's younger brother."

"That's right! I never thought that these two brothers would have such a fate. And their performance on the court is simply..."

Compared to Sawamura, Minister Ohta's impression of Kominato Haruichi is undoubtedly much better.

"Put him in the ranks of the Second Army too!"

Director Kataoka made arrangements for the three first-year contestants.

As for Tojo, Kanemaru, and Takatsu, whom their team was very optimistic about before...

Frankly speaking, apart from Tojo, the performance of the other two players was not bad either.

Especially after the first-year players regained their momentum, Kanemaru and the others still performed dazzlingly several times.

After all, the main players of these youth baseball teams are not just for a living. Their strength is there and their foundation is not bad.

But everything is afraid of comparison.

If their performance is put together with Sawamura and Kominato Haruichi, it is obviously not good enough.

"Let them practice the basics first!"

Director Kataoka could only say this.

Minister Ota on the side nodded along.

The news was conveyed quickly, without waiting for a moment.

Feng Guxiao's promotion to the First Army has long been a certainty.

No one found it strange.

On the contrary, the two first-year students who entered the second army attracted a lot of people's attention.

"This year's newcomers are a bit evil!"

The recruitment of the Qingdao High School baseball team in the past two years has been criticized.

These second- and third-year players understand this very well.

But this year's situation is obviously different.

If the performance of Kanemaru and Takatsu were placed before, they could definitely be placed in the training sequence and cultivated.

But now, they can only do basic physical exercises like other first-year newcomers.

The three little guys who were promoted are even more famous monsters.

After the afternoon training, Fang Guxiao did not choose to practice any more. Instead, after eating and washing, he went directly back to the dormitory.

In their dormitory, Kazuya Miyuki, wearing glasses, smiled and waved at Gu Xiao.

"From now on, we will be partners in the trenches. Please take care of me! I haven't caught the ball from you yet. Do you want to give it a try?"
