Chapter 76: The Promise at Jingu Stadium

Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Stadium.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to start the summer Tournament.

The opening ceremony of the high school competition was held very grandly. All 260 high schools in Tokyo gathered at Jingu Stadium.

There are two dozen people in a team, and the 260 high schools combined, the number has reached more than 5,000!

In the big summer, standing in such a queue, you will feel that your whole body is going to melt.

The Players of Seidou High School lined up in a neat row, standing in the middle of the 260 queues.

"it's too hot!"

Sawamura wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead impatiently.

"A lot of people!"

Sawamura himself felt aggrieved, not to mention Furuya, who had just moved to Tokyo from Hokkaido.

He was slumped all over as if he was about to collapse on the ground at any moment.

Kominato next to him was very excited and explained it kindly.

"Because in Tokyo, all the teams from the East and West regions have to come here to participate in the opening ceremony. From the semi-finals in the West region, we can play at Jingu Stadium. We should aim to be able to return to this stadium first."

The total number of schools in the east and west districts is 260. In the next three weeks of the schedule, two schools will be able to represent Tokyo and participate in Koshien.

The road to resurrection of a Famous School and a Powerhouse.

Seidou's summer has begun!!!

Just after attending the opening ceremony, Furuya was paralyzed.

His whole body was like dry grass, and the water in his body was completely evaporated.

As fellow first-years in the first string, Sawamura and Haruichi took on the responsibility of taking care of him without hesitation.

Furuya looks very thin, but he is more than 1.8 meters tall (6 ft.), and his body weight is still not light.

An arm was placed on Sawamura's shoulder, and he was able to move forward by leaning on Sawamura's drag.

"How can you still participate in the competition when you look like this?"

Sawamura muttered angrily.

He's feeling hot too, okay?

Furthermore, although Furuya is not Seidou's main force this summer, Superintendent Kataoka also placed high expectations on him. With him being like this, how can he participate in the competition?

If he can't participate in the competition, what will he use to prove himself?

You must know that being able to participate in the competition in the first year is a great opportunity for the players. If Furuya does not catch up with this step, then he will fall behind step by step.

Although the two are rivals. Nevertheless, Sawamura didn't want Furuya to fall behind.

Not to mention that the two are good friends, even as a competitor, Sawamura won't be happy if he wins against Furuya like this.

Outside the Jingu Stadium.

The Players from Seidou, who had just attended the opening ceremony, met the Inashiro team.

The battle table is out, and the two teams are divided into completely different divisions.

If they want to face off, it's the finals of this summer tournament.

"Nani!"

Narumiya Mei, like a frightened rabbit, screamed and hid behind Harada.

"What's wrong?"

Harada is very puzzled.

"Look, Tanpa-san shaved his head because he was hit by the ball."

"Don't hide, it's shameful."

This is their Ace, which makes Harada also very upset.

However, he remembered that Tanpa was hit in the arm, not in the head.

"We were also taken aback by the previous situation, but what happened to the head?"

Sure enough, polite words are just foreshadowing, but Harada still directly asked the question raised by Narumiya Mei

"Idiot! Of course, Tanpa wants to take back his Ace number, so he shaved his head!" Isashiki Jun said loudly.

Tanpa: I didn't think so!

However, he, who has always cared about his hairstyle, shaved his head to prepare for this last year's summer competition wholeheartedly.

"You just look forward to meeting us, we will definitely pull you down from your high throne." Said Isashiki

Hearing this Harada nodded and replied.

"Although I don't think we are any better. Nevertheless, since you made the challenge, then we naturally can't back down. See you in the final!" Harada's spirit is amazing.

It has always been said that the core of Inashiro is their Ace, Narumiya Mei.

Of course, this is not wrong. Inashiro is indeed a team built with Narumiya Mei as the core.

At least this team and the next one.

But this does not mean that Inashiro has no other people.

Captain, Fourth Batter, and Main Catcher.

Harada, who has three positions on him, also has a position that should not be underestimated in Inashiro.

Or to put it more bluntly, he is the real core of Inashiro.

"It's you, don't get eliminated before you meet us again."

"This seems to be our line!"

Harada's spirit is high, and Tetsuya does not show weakness when he is challenged.

The two teams Seidou High School and Inashiro Industrial High School were here, and it was agreed that they would meet in the final.

Of course, before that, they have to defeat the powerful opponents in front of them.

But both teams are confident.

Eventually, they will meet.

They not only believe in themselves but also in their opponent.

Because Seidou High School is a seeded team, there is no need to participate in the first round. In this way, they have a few more days to rest and prepare.

During this time, the baseball club of Seidou High School received more and more support.

Those seniors who graduated, the alumni of Seidou High School, also came to watch the team practice almost every day!

This kind of support puts a lot of pressure on the players.

Expectations are too high!

In the face of so many people who support him, if Seidou High School can't produce results, it will be difficult to explain.

Meanwhile, the first day of competition is over. Seidou High School also obtained the information of their opponents in the first game.

Their opponents in the first game have been determined.

Tokyo Metropolitan Maimon West High School!

In the face of the important first battle, Seidou High School was very cautious, and all the players of the First String came to the conference room for the meeting.
