Chapter 7: Emotions

It was a seemingly normal day, and all the players of Seidou High School were training step by step.

Only the players from the Second String and the Third String faintly noticed something.

It seems that the seniors in the third grade today are very serious in training and are much more focused.

Even after the training, the training equipment that the freshmen usually cleaned up was done by the third-year seniors who took the initiative to help them.

As night fell, all the players of Seidou High School gathered together and formed a neat queue.

Opposite them are the three supervisors of the Seidou High School baseball club.

Superintendent Kataoka was in the middle, with Manager Ota and Deputy Manager Takashima Rei standing beside him.

"Today's training is all over, and all the players of the first string, and the second- and first-year players, can all return."

Such a statement makes others feel strange.

So what is left now, is the third grade, and they are the seniors who can't join the first string?

"Let's go!"

Kuramochi tugged at Sawamura, who was a bit stunned.

Sawamura glanced at the people who stayed behind with great emotion and sighed inwardly.

'The time has come!'

The players who left rushed to the cafeteria one after another to prepare their meals.

However, Sawamura hid in the small corridor, silently watching everything that happened at the indoor field.

"Eijun-kun?"

Kominato Haruichi, who always liked to be by Sawamura's side, took the initiative and looked at Sawamura in confusion.

He could see that Sawamura seemed to have something in his heart.

As a friend, you should be concerned.

"Do not talk, Just look at it! "

Sawamura didn't respond, it was the people behind Kominato Haruichi who spoke.

Turning back to Kominato Haruichi, I saw a very incredible scene.

'Tetsu-san, Isashiki-senpai, brother, Masuko-senpai, Miyuki-senpai, Chris-senpai, Kuramochi-senpai.'

'Also Eijun-kun.'

This year, the core main players of Seidou High School, all appear here.

What are they looking at?

Strong curiosity forced Kominato Haruichi to look at the area where the players had just gathered.

There, Coach Kataoka was talking to the remaining third-year seniors.

Retire!

He didn't understand what they were saying, but Kominato Haruichi instantly understood what was going on.

All the first string, including the players from the second string who will train with the first string, have been selected.

This also means that the third-year seniors who are still in the Second String and Third String can no longer represent Seidou High School to participate in official competitions.

They are going to retire soon…

The gathering place, Coach Kataoka said.

"In the past two years, you have really worked hard!"

"Intense internal competition, coupled with rigorous practice, I know it must be very hard on you, but you have not given up, and have been practicing with me until now."

"In the future, please continue to be my pride and joy…"

After Kataoka finished speaking, most of the third-year seniors cried bitterly, and some even fell to their knees directly on the ground.

Although they had already had a hunch, they had already realized it.

Even if they weren't selected for the first string, they couldn't put on the team uniform of Seidou High School to represent Seidou High School and participate in the competition.

But they did never regret their efforts!

But when it came time to retire, they were still not resigned.

Even when they had that kind of awareness from the beginning, it is still not resigned.

If, they could work harder, would the result be different?

In the corner.

Kominato Haruichi looked at all this with a moving expression.

"Senpai?"

Unlike Sawamura and Furuya who arrived at the first string in one step, Kominato Haruichi climbed all the way from the third and the second string.

He is too aware of the efforts of those seniors!

If it weren't for his innately good swing.

Kominato Haruichi didn't even think that he could climb to the first string from the second string!

It is conceivable that to obtain their current strength, what kind of training and hard work these seniors have gone through.

Now, without any official game appearance record, they are about to retire!

Kominato Haruichi felt a strange emotion. He wanted to comfort the seniors, but he felt that he couldn't speak.

With what face is he going to comfort those seniors?

Do you want to go as the current first string, or as a Kohai?

It doesn't seem appropriate.

"Do nothing, just accept their emotion quietly!"

Sawamura sighed and turned to look at Chris.

Because of him, Chris-senpai was injured in advance.

But the causal cycle and the benefits are not in vain.

It was because of the early injury that he was able to return from the injury early.

In this way, their Senpai and Kohai can fight side by side.

Although he said that he sympathized with those seniors who were not able to officially participate in the competition, as a contestant representing them in the competition, he did not have much time to sympathize with others.

"Rather than saying some comforting words that have no nutritional value, let's get stronger together for those who couldn't!"

Yuuki Tetsuya said.

Right now, he seemed to be shrouded in a kind of light.

Retired in the third grade, the main force hid in the corner to accept their emotion.

This is also the tradition of Seidou!

From now on, everyone in Seidou will prepare wholeheartedly for the summer Tournament.

On the second day, none of the third-year players who had obviously retired were late for training.

In fact, for them, there is no point in continuing to stay in the club. They can use this time to step up their homework and try to make up for it so that they can get into a better university in the future.

Even if Seidou High School did not make it to Koshien, there was still a chance for the first string to enter professional baseball.

After all, Seidou is a Famous School, and West Tokyo is also a very famous fierce battle zone. Many media personnel specialize in Seidou players.

But this opportunity to enter professional baseball refers to those who have made a name for themselves in the First String.

Even in the first string, not everyone famous can participate in the professional draft.

To enter the professional draft, you have to be invited.

Of course, the professional draft is not the only option for high school players to join Pro baseball.

These are all things for later, let's not mention them for the time being.

However, for retired players like the third graders, their baseball dreams generally end there.

Professional baseball teams can consider famous players in the Seidou High School First String, but they will never be considered.

But even so, they still haven't given up baseball.

In the past two years, they have become accustomed to swaying their youth on the baseball field.

After retiring in the third grade, Seidou High School began to officially prepare for the summer Tournament.

The iconic event is the one-week camp.

On the second day after the third grade retired from the team, Seidou High School's famous specialty started.

The Summer Hell Camp!!
