Volume 1 Chasing the Baseball Dream Chapter 003 An Invitation to the Door
"Just exempt from the test?"
Zhang Han was not satisfied with this result.
Unlike in China, there is no unified middle school entrance examination and college entrance examination in Tokyo.
If you want to study in a certain school, the most direct way is to take the entrance examination of that school.
If you pass the exam and meet some basic requirements, you can enroll in this school.
The so-called invitation without examination refers to the special recruitment quota.
If you have special expertise in any area and the school happens to have relevant departments and policies, you can activate special recruitment quotas.
The biggest advantage of activating special recruitment quotas is that you can be admitted directly without taking an exam.
Anyone who has watched Slam Dunk should have some impression of this. Not all people who are good at sports are also good at studying.
This backdoor is actually specially opened for these people.
But to be honest, this policy is really useless to Zhang Han.
Although his academic performance is not top-notch, he is still among the top three in the class and the top ten in the grade.
If he takes the exam based on his own abilities, it seems that there is no school he cannot get into.
As a coach, Ono Binzhi certainly knows Zhang Han’s predicament.
He put most of the information aside. It was obvious that those invitations were just simple special recruitments without examination.
Only a few copies are left.
"I have also reported your situation to those high schools. Within the scope of the rules, they are willing to give you some consideration. They will waive tuition, miscellaneous fees, and book fees. However, they will definitely not waive the school selection fee and accommodation fee. At most, they will waive a portion of it!"
Zhang Han felt his eyes brighten.
This is what he needs most.
Otherwise, he really didn’t know what Ms. Lan would do?
Ever since that middle-aged old lady met me, she has been pestering me to be a model.
If it were in China, although Zhang Han would be somewhat reluctant, for the sake of money, he might grit his teeth and agree.
This job relies on young people to make a living, which may not be decent, but it is not shameful either.
But here, all the models, artists, stars, and idols.
They are all called male actors!
The most terrifying thing is that in a movie that can be performed by two or three people, the protagonist is also called an actor.
If his retired grandfather knew about this, who knows what would happen?
The old man has always believed that a good son is born under the stick.
Back then, when the old man had not yet retired, Zhang Han lived with him in a military compound for a period of time.
In the military compound, beating children is so normal that basically no one cares.
Occasionally, passers-by would see him and at most advise him to "beat him twice, don't let him get hurt!"
Listen, are these human words?
If the old man knew that he was a male actor in Tokyo, Zhang Han couldn't imagine his miserable end.
"Which ones?"
Seeing the excitement in Zhang Han's eyes, Ono Binzhi felt a little bit reluctant.
He knew what Zhang Han was thinking.
Originally, Zhang Han didn’t have much interest in baseball. His purpose in joining the baseball team was simply to defeat himself.
However, Zhang Han achieved this goal after practicing for less than a year.
The main reason why he stayed in the team and worked hard was that this kid was very stubborn.
Whenever he was defeated, he would find an opportunity to take revenge.
These star players in the Tokyo area have basically defeated him, and he has basically retaliated against them.
This is the main reason why he has not quit the team for so many years.
After playing baseball for a long time, Zhang Han will definitely be influenced subtly.
I don’t know when it started, but this guy became ambitious and wanted to participate in Koshien.
Become the first player from mainland China to participate in Koshien!
In order to achieve this goal, Zhang Han naturally wanted to join those wealthy teams.
Although the internal competition in that kind of team is fierce, there are also many opportunities.
As long as he joins these giants, he will naturally be one step closer to his dream.
There are five or six families in high school that can be considered wealthy.
For example, Teito High School and Niou Gakusha in East Tokyo.
The third high school in Nishitokyo City, Daocheng Industrial, and Qingdao High School.
In addition to the fact that Seidou High School has been unlucky in recent years, two classes of players failed to make it to Koshien.
Players from other teams, as long as they can become the core players of the team before their sophomore year, have basically played in Koshien.
But unfortunately, none of these wealthy families invited Zhang Han.
Oh, no.
Qingdao High School did send an invitation, but it was just a simple invitation without examination.
The other party did not send anyone over, so Ono Binzhi had no way to talk to them in detail.
He knew Zhang Han wouldn't be interested in such an invitation without asking.
Qingdao High School does not meet Zhang Han’s two goals.
The first one he asked for was a reduction in the school selection fee. Since Qingdao High School did not send anyone to invite him, it can be seen that they did not attach enough importance to Zhang Han.
Another thing is that since Qingdao changed its coach, its performance has plummeted and it has not entered Koshien for several consecutive years.
For Zhang Han, who dreams of entering Koshien, this is certainly not a good choice.
Since it is inappropriate, Ono Binzhi doesn't intend to say any more.
"There is no such thing as a wealthy school as you want. Players are selecting high schools, and high schools are also selecting players. Although there will be many high schools competing for our players from Matsukata, there are also countless geniuses trying their best to get into those truly wealthy high schools."
Ono Binzhi's words were like a basin of cold water poured into Zhang Han's heart.
"I don't want to go yet! Tell me about some places that can reduce the tuition."
"There are several companies that are very sincere. I screened them and kept five in total. Although they are not wealthy, they are still competitive in Tokyo. If they are lucky, it is not impossible for them to enter Koshien. Moreover, they are eager to recruit talents, and the proportion of the selection fee reduction is not small."
An ordinary female textile worker foreman earns only two to three million yuan a year.
And raising two children.
Ono Binzhi believes that for Zhang Han, reducing the proportion of school selection fees should be more important than joining a wealthy family.
West Tokyo Chengkong Academy!
Nishi-Tokyo Pharmacist High School!
Tohoku Tokyo Kuroshikan High School!
East Tokyo Kasuga High School!
"They are all strong teams in the top eight and top sixteen!"
Zhang Han was a little surprised when he saw the invitation letter handed over by Ono Binzhi.
But then again, this is actually understandable.
The fact that they were specially recruited shows that the baseball team is very strong in their school.
You can also use the school’s power to reduce or waive school selection fees.
It’s not a question of strength, but that their entire school and the entire team are very ambitious.
"There are only so many star players in Tokyo, and they have all been taken up by the big teams. A talented player like you who doesn't show off your skills will naturally become a hot commodity. If it weren't for the reduction of school selection fees, you would have received more invitations."
