Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 12 Practice Competition (End) and Depression

"Coach, what's the name of that catcher?" Sendao asked as he walked off the court.

"Four-bat catcher, Harada, Harada Masako, what's going on? He's a great player, right?"

"I'm just a beginner, so I don't know if I'm powerful or not. But why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere?" Well, Xiandao still doesn't know how strong his team is.

They are both from well-known families, and there is not much difference in individual strength. Even if Harada has a personal ability that surpasses his teammates or even the Wildcats' current selection, it is difficult to show anything in front of the Wildcats who have such a tacit understanding. Since there is no reference for comparison. There is no way to know the strength or weakness of an object.

He has no idea how strong his teammates are, because they can't compare to him in pure hitting and pitching, and he can't be sure. After all, Sendao doesn't have much self-awareness about his own level, so he feels that he is a beginner. He can be a four-ball player and will not think that his teammates are strong even if the supervisor says he is a monster. You may even wonder if you came from a fake family.

What about the legendary newbie? (He is obscene.)

Half of this was a problem with his father Sendō Ichiro. His father also knew little about it. He only knew that wild cats were famous, so he sent him here. He doesn't care about this himself.

"Uh..." But before Coach Nakanishi could recover from his speechlessness, Sendao had already put on his armor.

In the next two innings, except for Sendō's home run, the score did not change. However, both sides also had hits one after another. The runs in the last inning for both sides started with two bats. But the premise is that the Mariners can tie the score, otherwise there will be no second half of the inning.

The Mariners hit a home run in four at-bats after three hits in the top of the seventh inning. However, no points were scored after that, and the final score of the game was fixed at 10-2.

In this game, the opponent did not get any outs from Sendō. Instead, they had four long hits and 6 RBIs in four at-bats.

After Sendō lined up and bowed to each other, he was stopped by Masako Harada.

"Your name is Xiandao, right?"

"Hi! Senior!"

"You are really good! To be honest, the two benches at the back made me feel a little chilled when I saw you standing in the bench area."

In the original work, Harada hates Miyuki because he is suppressed by his IQ, but Sendō is absolutely crushed by hard power. Even if he knows that Sendō does not know how to actually distinguish good and bad balls in the playing area, he is still beaten violently. If his strength is much worse, he will naturally not. He feels unconvinced or disgusted, and at least for now he can't even develop a sense of competition, which shows how hard it has dealt him.

"Thank you!"

Then Harada gently patted Sendō's shoulder.

"The competition is coming soon, come on!"

Before Xiandao could reply, he went to talk to a Wildcat player. I vaguely heard the senior from Immortal Dao say: "Are you awesome? That guy!"

And the reply: "Ah, to be honest, I felt a shadow when he stood there after the third banquet. Some of it was fear or other indescribable feelings."

"Really or not? But it's true that that guy is scary when he stands in the strike zone. It would be a nightmare to fight with him while squatting, right!?"

"what!"

Sendō shrugged.

"But it doesn't matter anymore." He murmured to himself.

After the Wildcats returned to the camp by car, they disbanded on the spot.

……

"I'm back!" "Welcome back! Akila, dad is back. Go and wash up. Dad has something to tell you."

"understood!"

After a brief wash, Xiandao came to the living room and sat down on his knees.

"Akila, you should know that our family is in business, and I have decided to go to China for development, so I will go to China with your mother.

But I hope you stay in China, because I want you to have a colorful childhood. Your personality is not very talkative, so I think life abroad is not suitable for you. I will send you to your grandfather in the country. "

"Well, I'll come there when!" Without any rebuttal, he chose to obey.

"I will complete the formalities for you tomorrow. You can go say goodbye to your classmates and the coach of the Wildcats!"

"In addition, I will give you a sum of money. There are some things in the countryside that you may not be able to buy, so you can buy them and take them with you. It doesn't matter if you go to class a day or two late."

"I understand, then I'll go back to the room first." Sendao took a deep breath and said softly.

Although Sendō didn't make many friends in the Wildcats, he was still a little depressed after spending time with Coach Nakanishi and leaving suddenly.

"Let him be alone!" Sendo Ichiro stopped Sendo's mother who wanted to say something.

Xiandao in his room was fiddling with his phone aimlessly, opening and closing it, opening and closing it. If I have to say it, I am confused!

After a long time, Xiandao stood up and walked to the full-length mirror in the room. He looked at the face of the cheerful and handsome guy in it, which looked a bit like the one in the slam dunk master's hand. The only thing he had to say was his eyes. Xiandao's eyes were like sapphires, but his pupils were like sapphires. It gives people a sharp feeling of unwillingness to face his eyes.

"Really, oh! What a good face! How about getting a fairy's hedgehog hair? I wonder if that fairy is born with stiff hair like me. As long as the hair is a little shorter, it will stand up like a hedgehog?" "

"I have decided to get a haircut tomorrow. My hair style can be said to be standing up with just a little hairspray!" (Actually, I saw that Slam Dunk Master Ride Sendō's hair doesn't seem to be the longest from certain angles. The place is only two or three inches long, and the shortest place is about the same as an inch.)

"I will be a new me starting from tomorrow. Long live my long-awaited homecoming!" I shouted weakly.

Even Xiandao himself knew that all this was just to deceive himself and divert attention, but he didn't want to let himself go like this, and wanted to keep himself busy to hide the pain of separation.

So, he started to pack his luggage, then the room, sorting out what he wanted to take away and what he wanted to stay here. When Xiandao saw the family photo, he still stared at it for a long time, and finally put it into his bag.

Then there are a lot of books such as the basic book practice menu given by the Chinese and Western coaches.

For Sendō's mind, the practice menu has already been memorized by heart, and these baseball materials, notes from coaches Nakanishi and theory books...

"Since you choose to go home, let's keep these things here!" He said and put all these things in the closet, which were all things that would not be taken away.

When I closed the closet door, I felt like I was saying goodbye to the person I was before today.

Thinking of this, Xiandao suddenly felt that all the depressing atmosphere was swept away.

Xiandao is such a person, even in his previous life, he can quickly accept the reality of anything.

Just do what you can do, know what you should do, what you can do, what you can only believe in, and what you can only wait for.

　The second half of today was a bit depressing, I guess. Maybe tomorrow when I say goodbye, I don’t know if I can write that kind of atmosphere. In the last paragraph, I remember a similar sentence in Yotsuba Game. Suddenly I want to watch Yotsuba Game. Mitsuru Adachi's baseball details are not particularly good, but the emotional aspect is really the best. I skipped the part about Ruoye's death. I couldn't bear the grievance.
