Chapter 26: Hell training week begins

After the announcement of the large list of the First team.

The next day morning exercise.

Year 3 students attend as usual.

In the first and second grades, some students were not convinced, and they felt that Sawamura was not qualified to enter the first army.

So I was very unhappy and deliberately missed the morning exercise.

It seems that you want to use this to tell the coach that your choice is very unfair.

However

Their approach only left a great negative impression in the coach's mind....

If you don't apologize afterwards.

Even if they have the strength to enter the first team, the coach will not let them enter.

...

Night.

Indoor practice room.

Asad and Furuya and sawamura.

Called here by Chris.

Asad, who had read the original book, knew that this was to teach something about baseball.

But.

Before formal teaching.

After Chris's explanation, Sawamura, who had been depressed all day, finally regained his fighting spirit.

Thereupon.

Chris's teaching began.

"Asad, Furuya, sawamura, listen up."

"Baseball is a sport that starts the moment a pitcher throws the ball."

"You can see it from this."

"How important the pitcher position is."

"Whether it's the use of infield tactics or the timing of home plate."

"Sometimes, just a little mistake can make the team lose the game."

"That is!"

"You pitchers must be the ones on the team who know baseball best!"

As soon as the words came out.

Asad show's no emotions.

Because he knows it's a pitcher's job. He already got ohtani experience.

So after training every day, in addition to writing novels, I went back to the dormitory to read baseball books.

But Furuya and Sawamura are extremely resistant to learning things.

So.

The two froze instantly.

I even had the idea of 'run away'.

And right at this moment.

Two seniors in the same dormitory with Sawamura (Kuramochi, Youichi and Toru Masuko).

and Kominato Haruichi and the Miyuki of the second grade.

They all walked in through the doorway.

Apparently.

These people came to cooperate with Asad and the others to practice.

Thereupon.

Private tactical training began.

But.

Since tomorrow will start the hellish training, today's practice content will not be too tiring, it is relatively relaxed.

...

Following.

The Hell Training of the First team officially began.

Early in the morning.

The training began in full swing.

While!

While!

While!

The crisp sound of hitting the ball sounded one after another.

From time to time, the members who helped the training of the First team would look at the players with strong long-distance hitting ability.

Thereinto.

The most striking ones are Asad and Tetsuya Yuki.

Because!

A blow to both of them!

All flew out of the outfield wall!

In the game, every ball is a home run!

Of course....

The fundamental factor that can cause this effect is mainly because the person in charge of pitching is not very strong....

If it is Asad/Furuya/Sawamura who stands in the pitching position, then Asad and Yuki Tetsuya can't play so well.

...

The other side.

Kominato Haruichi, Sawamura and others are also conducting garrison training for their respective positions.

Because of the rich experience of Kominato Haruichi.

So in the training, there was no mistake, which was praised by many people.

And Sawamura's knowledge of baseball is too lacking.

Although he was reminded by Asad to read baseball books.

But...

Sawamura has a personality of 'head strong protagonist '.

In layman's terms.

It was when Sawamura was reading a certain baseball tactics book.

He will delve into who took the name of so-and-so tactic, and why he chose it.

So.

Learning baseball routines is extremely inefficient.

Compared with the original book, I know a little more about baseball.

As a result, in today's fielding training, as always, always being scolded.

Of course.

Furuya is not much better.

His catching skills are terrible.

Always use the edge of the glove to catch the ball.

So the scolding, there is no need for Sawamura less.

...

Afternoon.

Coach Kataoka, Minister Ota and Vice Minister Rei Takashima, came to Course A.

"Oops!"

"It's finally started!"

"As soon as I came to this training venue, I felt that summer was finally coming!"

Minister Ota said with emotion: "I hope that there will be no people left behind this year..."

Takashima smiled and said, "I hope so." "

Kataoka : "The team is united, this is the purpose of this training camp..."

The words are not finished.

Sawamura, who was receiving garrison training in the outfield, suddenly let out a scream.

Keep your eyes peeled.

I happened to see Sawamura's whole body jumping up, his hands raised high.

The flying baseball fell from between Sawamura's hands to Sawamura's back with extreme 'precision'.

Kataoka: "..."

Ota: "..."

Rei Takashima: "..."

Coach Kataoka: "Anyway... Sawamura will be a different matter..."

...

Six o'clock in the evening.

It was getting dark.

The four female managers of the baseball department had already prepared dinner.

Rice balls.

Banana.

Fried chicken nuggets.

...

After hard training.

When everyone sees the hearty food, their eyes light up.

"Uh-oh-oh-"

"It's time for dinner-"

"This... Is all this done by the team manager? "

"It's amazing—"

"Then I'll enjoy it unceremoniously!"

Sawamura rushed forward excitedly, reaching out to take it.

But he was forcibly pulled away by Kuramochi, Youichi.

In his words: the seniors have not eaten, what do you eat?

...

A moment later.

Everyone took their favorite food and sat on the spot and ate it.

"Here you go."

Takako Fujiwara walked to Asad's side and handed a pink water bottle to Asad.

"Thank you."

Asad took it directly.

This is not the first time.

According to Fujiwara's words, this is a thank you to Asad for giving her the Supreme Collector's Edition of "classroom of elite".

So.

Warm water is specially prepared for him every day.

Asad was a little embarrassed at first, but after more times, he got used to it.

...

"Although it is a training camp."

"But I was originally staying, and I felt no different from usual."

Sawamura chatted with Kuramochi, Youichi while eating the ball.

"It's just that the team members who usually go home to live will also live on campus this time."

"But..."

Kuramochi, Youichi ate the banana and said, "The two courts are only for 20 people. "

"So everyone practiced twice as much as usual."

"You have to be thankful and thank the other teammates who helped us train, you know?"

Sawamura nodded: "I know!" "

Kuramochi, Youichi smiled and said, "In other words, if you eat more, you will continue to practice after dark!" "

Sawamura asked excitedly, "Really?" "

Asad was sitting next to him and also heard this conversation.

He opened his mouth.

Would like to remind Sawamura.

But...

I don't want to miss Sawamura's 'famous scene'...

So!

In the end, Asad still didn't do anything!

"That kid will vomit..."

Tetsuya Yuki saw that Sawamura was lured by Kuramochi, Youichi and ran to get the rice balls excitedly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Masuko: "Absolutely will vomit..."

Jun Isashiki: "He's dead." "

Ryosuke Kominato: "It's really pathetic. "

Kuramochi, Youichi looked at Sawamura, who was trying to cook, and showed a devilish smile: "I was also forced by Senior Ah Jun last year to the point of dying!" "

"Hellish training!!"

"It's just about to start!!"

"Hahaha!!"

Miyuki Kazuya, who was standing behind Kuramochi, Youichi, couldn't help but gasp for air.

"Shhhh

"It's good that this guy is not my senior..."

Click!

All the lights of the stadium are turned on at the same time.

This also means.

The evening training time officially begins.

"Switchback run, 20 times!"

With an order from a non-member of the First team.

The members of the First team, including Sawamura, rushed out one after another in order.

"Hey, hey..."

"I've been running with tires."

"This level is nothing at all!"

Sawamura, who finished the switchback run, said with a proud face.

"Run the base, 100 times!"

"Sawamura, GO!"

The non-First team member spoke again.

"Huh? Arrived at me so soon? "

Sawamura was stunned for a moment, but still ran around the bag very honestly.

Behind him Furuya , Kominato Haruichi, and Asad.

The four started from home plate.

Run around first, second, and third bases, and finally back to home plate.

More than seventy times later.

Sawamura, Furuya, and Kominato Haruichi were all so tired that it was difficult to breathe, and they even had to support their knees to stand firmly.

"Hey!"

"Those three first-graders, don't be lazy!"

"Run!"

But under the supervision of an assistant departmental officer.

No matter how tired you are, you have to continue running around the bag.

"No..."

"Isn't it!"

"There is no rest time at all, the pace is too fast!"

Sawamura gritted his teeth and waved his arms, stiffening his scalp, dragging his tired body and running quickly.

"Don't stop!"

"Run with all your might!"

"Do you want to start from scratch?"

"Asad is over!"

"..."

The members of the ministry who came to help stimulated Sawamura and others with words.

...

A good while passed.

Sawamura, Furuya, and Haruichi Kominato, who had finally completed 100 baseball running exercises, all collapsed on the ground.

Especially the Furuya.

Tired so that the whole person seems to lose consciousness?

"Everyone..."

"Do this every day?"

"And..."

"Going to last a week?"

Sawamura thought in a trance.

"Okay."

"That's it for the first day."

Coach Kataoka spoke.

"... Saved! "

The same thought flashed in the hearts of Sawamura and Furuya and Kominato Haruichi.

And yet....

Coach Kataoka's voice sounded again.

"Yet."

"Before disbanding."

"Finally, run 20 laps around the court!"

"Cheer me up and shout out!"

Hear this.

Sawamura instantly puffed out his mouth.

This is not a pout, but a desire to spit out, but do not dare to spit it out.

"Hahahahaha~~~"

When Asad saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, he reminded: "Sawamura, if you spit it out, you are likely to be punished by the coach!" "

Sawamura's face crumpled.

He couldn't help it.

But I am really afraid of being punished.

"1——"

"2——"

"3——"

After a short break.

All the members of the First team began to run around the court.

But.

The three of Sawamura, who lacked physical strength, were obviously left behind.

And....

They didn't even have the strength to shout slogans.
