Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 008 Qingdao's trump card
Zhang Han and his classmates had just entered Qingdao High School's second team when they were given a warning by the seniors in the second team.
These seniors demonstrated their attitudes through their actual actions.
They do not welcome new people to join, and also advise younger students not to imagine a scene where seniors and younger students love each other.
Now that they have joined the Second Army, they are opponents.
“That’s not bad!”
Zhang Han didn't hate this feeling at all. Or rather, the attitude of the seniors made him feel more at ease.
In Tokyo, the hierarchy between seniors and juniors is very clear. It is basically equivalent to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Juniors do not have no human rights at all, but they definitely have very few.
Even in Matsukata Little League, this situation exists. Maybe not as strong as in other schools, but it does exist.
If Zhang Han did not have Ono Binzhi's protection, it would be basically impossible for him to become a core member of Matsukaze so quickly.
The attitude of the seniors of Qingdao High School is unfriendly.
But they sent out a signal, a signal that fair competition is possible.
Let your strength speak for itself.
There is no better news for first-year freshmen.
Here, it seems that there is no need to play the seniority game. As long as you can demonstrate your ability, you will naturally be promoted.
Zhang Han calmed down and focused his attention on the three seniors who were attacking him.
Their bodies were very steady, and they hardly moved at all while waiting to play.
When Yukichi and the others threw the ball up, the seniors who had been motionless immediately became like a erupting volcano.
In an instant, release all your energy.
“Buzz!”
Zhang Han even vaguely heard the sound of their bats swinging.
Seniors No. 1 and No. 3 both swung the bats hard, and no matter what the direction, the ball should not fall near them.
number 2!
That was the senior who came over to play baseball earlier. His swing of the bat was aimed at first base.
coming!
“Ping!”
The bat hit the white ball hard, and the ball was like a ray of light, instantly traveling over 20 meters and appearing in front of Zhang Han's left.
Zhang Han, who was well prepared, took a step forward and caught the ball steadily in his glove at the first moment the baseball bounced.
"Snapped!"
After the baseball got into the glove, it was still restless and kept running around.
Zhang Han forced his gloves to close, and only then was he able to suppress the ball.
"ah!"
The pain in his palm made Zhang Han couldn't help but grin slightly.
He knew that the seniors on the Qingdao High School baseball team might be very talented.
But he didn't expect that the ball hit by the opponent was still so strong even after bouncing.
If I had blocked it directly just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to catch the ball.
"Oh my god! The Second Army has such strength. Are these guys monsters?"
Zhang Han was extremely surprised .
The people around him also felt incredible.
"That guy actually..."
"I caught the ball from Senior Hidetsuke."
"Who is he?"
“I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”
Mayumi Hidezawa is a third-year ace pitcher on the Seidou High School baseball team.
It is said that he has a nuclear-level pitching and super strong hitting ability, and is one of the three pillars of the third-year Seidou High School baseball team .
The team's main third batter and ace pitcher.
Of course Zhang Han had heard of this name and even seen the real person. It was just that the distance was a bit far and the other person was wearing a hat.
That's why he didn't recognize it at first.
After recognizing the other person, Zhang Han felt much more balanced.
After all, he is Qingdao's No. 1 now, so it is acceptable for him to have such strength .
If he really is an ordinary second-tier player, he would have such a strong swing.
Then Zhang Han probably couldn't help but doubt whether he could get a chance before the third grade?
"Isn't he the ace? He should be preparing for the spring competition now, why is he in the second team?"
"The supervisor said that he was too impatient when pitching before, so he asked him to go to the second team to change his mind."
Hearing the discussions around him, Zhang Han secretly groaned in his heart.
In their first defensive practice, they encountered Ace who was in a bad mood.
And he is a strong player.
When you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth.
My luck is so bad!
And judging from the other party's posture, he was obviously targeting me.
You have to be more careful when you defend next time.
“Whoosh!”
“Hee-ha!”
Not only Zhang Han, but the other two newcomers also began to show their strength.
Although the ball was clearly beyond the defense's range, Kuramochi managed to catch up with it with his extraordinary speed.
Although he returned the ball a little slowly, he failed to prevent the batter from reaching first base.
But the potential he showed in defense seems to be definitely not inferior to Zhang Han.
The least impressive of the three was Shirasu.
This guy seems to have particularly good luck. Every time a baseball is hit into the outfield, it falls right over his head.
"What a lucky guy!"
There were also spectators watching the practice, watching with great interest.
Many of these spectators are die-hard fans or old alumni of Seidou. They are very happy to see talented newcomers joining Seidou.
For example, Zhang Han and Kuramochi, who were still first-year rookies, actually kept up with the practice rhythm of Qingdao Second Army from the very beginning.
With such ability, he will definitely be the core player of Qingdao in the future.
In contrast, Hakushu didn't leave much of an impression. If it wasn't for the high fly balls he hit, they would always land above his head.
People even forgot that there was a newcomer like him.
"Haha, good luck!"
Minister Ota had a big smile on his fat face.
It seemed that his original worry was unnecessary. Everyone had already adapted to it, right? At least Zhang Han and Kuramochi had already adapted.
And it also showed great potential.
"lucky?"
Rei Takashima, who came specially to watch the practice, did not agree with Minister Ota's words.
"Once or twice is good luck, but how can it be good luck so many times? Didn't you notice? While the baseball was flying, he arrived at the landing point in advance. This player has a very good vision, so he can predict where the baseball will land. He is really a natural outfielder!"
Originally, Qingdao just casually invited Shirasu.
I know that this player has average abilities in all aspects and had a good record in junior high school.
Generally speaking, players like this have both good strength and potential.
But the strength of inviting Shirasu cannot be the same as that of inviting Zhang Han, Kazuya Miyuki, and Aso.
That kind of strength is not even as strong as Kuramochi's.
Unexpectedly, they accidentally dug up a great treasure.
This player is so useful!
Silent, but with impressive strength.
This year's freshmen are truly extraordinary.
