Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 001: Enrollment in Qingdao
On April 1st, new students will enter school.
At the gate of Qingdao High School, there were countless stalls set up as if it were a festival.
Archery club, soccer club, basketball club, track and field club, swimming club...
Almost all clubs are there to introduce their clubs to freshmen.
The two old students who walked in the door were talking quietly.
"These guys are really becoming more and more unscrupulous."
"If Principal Mori or Director Lin knew about this, they would be in big trouble."
"It's none of our baseball club's business anyway."
As they talked, the two walked away.
Their conversation attracted the attention of the freshmen around them.
Seidou's baseball club!
Although the baseball team's performance in recent years has not been ideal, they are still one of the top teams in the country, and their school's supporting facilities and training facilities are all top-notch.
Even in the past few years when they failed to make it to Koshien, they would still contribute one or two players to the professional draft every year.
A famous baseball team and an aristocratic school.
These are the two biggest labels of Qingdao High School.
From this label, we can see the status of the baseball team in this school.
For freshmen, being able to join the baseball club is something to be proud of.
Unfortunately, they don't want everyone. A large part of the baseball team is recruited from all over the country by the school's admissions officers.
The rest usually have to go through a selection process, and only those who pass the selection process can join the baseball team.
But even with so many strict restrictions, the number of members in the baseball club remains at around a hundred.
In such a private aristocratic school, it is definitely the largest club.
News about the baseball team has always been the focus of discussion in this school.
Female managers of several teams are tidying up the teams' training facilities.
Although the school had just started, the members of the baseball team and the newly recruited freshmen had already reported to school a few days ago.
Their preparations for war had already begun.
“Are there any new students who are particularly eye-catching this year?”
One of the managers was chatting with a school girl next to him.
Although the schoolgirl was the last to become the team manager, she had a good relationship with many members of the team. She also took the initiative to come to school early in the morning to help with some logistical work.
She knows much more about the new students than those of them who have just arrived at the school.
Guizi, who had just entered the second grade, raised his head and tidied the hair around his ears when he heard the words.
"Of course! It's different from our situation that year. This year our school has put a lot of effort into recruiting a lot of great talents."
"Tell me, who are they? What's the name of that tall and handsome little guy?"
"Senior, are you asking about the new students' abilities or Zhang Han?"
"Zhang Han, is he a foreigner?"
"You can tell from the name that he must be an international student."
"Wow, that's cool!"
"Senior, you've betrayed me. Didn't you say before that you didn't like foreigners?"
"Who said I liked it? I just admired it. Everyone has a love for beauty..."
Takako looked at the seniors arguing in front of her with a smile.
They are indeed the most energetic generation!
Even the team's managers were so lively, and there were three of them.
Not like her.
This group of players who have just entered the second grade have always been looked down upon. Even the team manager is only Takako.
But Takako Fujiwara never thought that the players of this session were as weak as rumored by the outside world.
They are actually very talented and work hard, even harder than the seniors before them.
In order to support them, Takako will work hard even as a team manager.
After school started, the players of the baseball team changed into the school uniforms they had just received and went to attend the school's opening ceremony.
At the opening ceremony, the captain of the baseball team, Kakuei Tanaka, spoke on behalf of the students.
Kazuya Miyuki, a freshman on the baseball team, spoke on behalf of the freshmen.
Both of them spoke high-sounding clichés, and neither of them had any original ideas.
Zhang Han really had no impression of what they said. He randomly found a speech by a student representative on the Internet.
I guess it’s not much different from what they said.
First of all, I would like to thank the leaders, classmates and the school. Then I would like to talk about my feelings about the school and finally welcome the new students on behalf of the school.
Although it's cliché, it's a necessary routine.
What surprised Zhang Han was the school's attitude towards the baseball team.
It turned out that both student representatives were from the baseball club and were representatives of the club.
You can imagine how much this school favors the baseball team.
Of course, the greater the expectations, the greater the pressure.
Under such expectations, the baseball team would be unable to explain itself if it failed to achieve good results.
As a member of the baseball team, I received such a high scholarship.
Zhang Han suddenly felt that the burden on him had become much heavier.
After attending the opening ceremony, we were divided into classes.
This is nothing new to Zhang Han.
It is worth mentioning that in his class, there are two freshmen from the baseball team who reported together a few days ago.
One of them is Kazuya Miyuki, who just spoke on behalf of the freshmen.
The other one is called Aso Tsuyoshi.
Of course, there are more than just two new members of the baseball team in the same class.
The reason why Zhang Han was able to remember them was mainly because these two were relatively famous among the freshmen of their class.
Another thing is that he had played against both of these guys when he was in middle school, and he was deeply impressed by both of them.
Aso Takashi is a Little League player and played as the fourth batter when he was in middle school.
Qingdao High School is not in a very good momentum right now, so it is a blessing to be able to recruit such newcomers.
The school treats him very well, and it is said that the scholarship is enough to pay for his tuition, accommodation and other expenses.
The Little League team that Kazuya Miyuki plays for is of average strength.
But under his leadership, the weak often defeated the strong. Matsukata had fallen into his hands before, and more than once.
"What a bad fate!"
Zhang Han could only sigh at this.
There were only three new students who received full scholarships from the school, and they were all gathered in one class.
Others also received scholarships to varying degrees, but the amount was definitely not as good as that of the three of them.
The level of wealth of Qingdao High School is really jaw-dropping.
Not to mention others, even Zhang Han himself was shocked.
He made a rough calculation and found that Qingdao would have to pay tens of millions of dollars a year just for scholarships .
Converted into mainland currency, it would cost several million.
It's just a high school, they are not a professional team, where do they get so much money?
"In the afternoon, the new students of the baseball team will prepare to take the team entrance test."
After the classes were divided, we had a half-day break in the afternoon as usual.
As a player of the baseball club, of course I cannot enjoy such benefits.
