Champion!

Akagi Middle School won the championship in Nagano Prefecture without Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

Those schools that came to scout with long guns and short cannons did not return without success. From a pure reconnaissance point of view, they still gained a lot. Even if both sides of the game did not try their best. But through research, you can also see a lot of things about these two teams.

For example, their defence, offensive tactics, etc.

Of course, if they really take these things, they will deal with the information on Tenryuji and Akagi. On the day of the real game, it is estimated that they will suffer a big loss. Although Akagi Middle School played all the main teams, if Sawamura did not stand on the pitcher's mound, Akagi were two completely different teams. The team with Komaki as the pitcher and the team with Sawamura Eijun as the pitcher have completely different strengths. The rhythm of the game, the rhythm of the attack, and the rhythm of the defence are also different. Although the players are still those players, the combat effectiveness they will show at that time will definitely surprise the opponent.

Not to mention Tenryuji Middle School, except for Hattori to be a substitute runner, they didn't have the main force to play at all.

After the game, Akagi Middle School originally thought that the grand celebration had not come, and the organizer just brought them a medal symbolically, and of course a plastic-wrapped gold trophy.

On the trophy are written the words of the 99th, Nagano County Champion.

Then everyone took a photo together.

As for the players from Tenryuji, their main players didn't show up either, and the runners-up trophies were all the substitutes.

Obviously, this trophy has no weight in their hearts!

Fortunately, Akagi Middle School is different. The little friends of Akagi Middle School still like the first trophy in their lives. I want to insert a sentence here to talk about the different national conditions.

In an island country, people value honour far beyond everyone's imagination. This is closely related to the residual Bushido spirit. Whether it is a school, a company, a team, or any other organization, the residual Bushido spirit is very intuitively reflected in every place.

What is Bushido?

If we really need to study this question carefully, we can start a new novel. To put it simply, Bushido is a kind of spirit, and this spirit is mainly contained in two aspects, one is loyalty. Another is to pay attention to honour and neglect life and death.

For example, if you go to an island country for employment. Don't write about your rich employment experience, it is tantamount to courting death. In the cultural connotation of this country, they absolutely do not like the kind of four jobs a year. The spirit they advocate is that you'd better work in this company for the rest of your life until you retire. This is typical Bushido spirit!

Another is an honour. Island countries may be due to too many natural disasters. They generally take life and death lightly but take their own honour very seriously. The most direct evidence of this is suicide by caesarean section. There is a bushido spirit in the island country. According to legend, he is a man who inherited the soul of bushido, called Nogi Nogi. As a soldier, Nogi's military achievements are almost nothing. In the few big battles he fought, there were no victories. Even if those wars were won, most of them were not commanded by him on the spot, or after he had left, it had nothing to do with him. If such a general is placed in our country, it would be good for him to remain unrecognizable for thousands of years. But in the island country, it is different, people are the soul of the dignified Bushido.

The reason why he was able to get such a reputation is that after his own emperor died, he cut himself off and followed him away.

This is loyalty! This is an honour!

In today's island country, the Bushido spirit is not as respected as it used to be. Bushido is not as revered as it once was in its mainstream values. But whether it's a school, a team like Akagi, or a company, this spirit of Bushido still permeates every aspect.

Although Akagi Middle School had given up this final before, after winning the championship, they were still very happy and respected the championship very much.

Although the celebration was a bit hasty, it did not affect the happy mood of the little friends of Akagi Middle School.

"Go back and have a good rest!"

Sawamura shoved the trophy into Wada's hands.

Compared with the relatively calm friends of Akagi Middle School, Wada's eyes never left the trophy, and he didn't know how long he longed for this trophy when he was dreaming.

"Wada sensei, I'll ask you to send the trophy back to school!"

"No problem! No problem!!"

Hotan's head, like a chicken pecking at rice, kept tapping.

Seeing his diligent appearance, Sawamura doubted whether this trophy could go back to school smoothly.

But at this time, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to it. He didn't get on the mound in this game, and the game was very close. Such a game is fun to play. But in the same way, it is also a great test of people's physical strength.

The amount of activity in this game, my friends, is equivalent to the amount of activity in the previous two games when Sawamura pitched.

Except for Sawamura and Ren who could not change their faces, the others could not even breathe smoothly after the game.

"Don't delay your morning exercise tomorrow morning!"

Sawamura finally warned everyone and walked in the direction of home with Wakana.

"Are you happy?"

The shadows of the two were drawn very long under the setting sun, Wakana suddenly asked.

Sawamura was stunned when he heard the words and looked back at her.

The setting sun shone on Wakana's face, revealing a faint blush.

Sawamura opened his mouth, revealing a big smile.

"happy!"

Although his first dream has not been realized, it is finally a step towards success.

Silent all night!

On the second day, the little friends of Akagi Middle School really felt the atmosphere of being a champion.

In front of the teaching building, a huge banner hangs.

"Warmly congratulate Akagi Middle School for winning the championship in Nagano Prefecture!!"

The little friends of the baseball club walked on the avenue of the school and felt the guidance of the students around them, and their vanity was greatly satisfied.

"That's right!"

After the game ended yesterday, others didn't say anything. The supporters of Akagi Middle School, the Brotherhood of Hearts, didn't have much to say.

This really makes the little friends of Akagi Middle School chill.

They also know that defeating the substitutes of Tenryuji Middle School is really not glorious. After all, no matter what, Akagi Middle School is also a team that can keep pace with the three kings. In the beginning, they pressed Okita Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School to fight, so they hardly had much power to fight back!

Now that the main lineup is full, bullying Tenryuji's substitute is really hard to say.
