Chapter 29: Rearing the Arms for War

After winning Dabei Middle School, one of the three kings, the friends of Chicheng Middle School became very nervous.

This schedule, to be honest, is devil-level. It's already early July, the last month of the school term. Final exams are due in mid-July, and as a student, any mid-term exam is torturous.

Of course, Sawamura himself could just ignore everything and concentrate on baseball. In the future, he will rely on baseball for food, and even if he retires, he can still serve as a referee or find a job as a coach.

Overall, Sawamura's future is very clear.

He is not the type of careerist and dreamer with big ideals and ambitions. He just likes baseball and wants to realize the value of his life on the baseball field.

Because there is not much extravagance, even if Sawamura lives again, he will live a very simple life.

It's okay for him to do this, but the little friends around him absolutely can't do it. He can rely on baseball to eat in the future, but the friends around him can't rely on baseball to eat.

Sports doesn't mean that you rely on interest, and if you work hard enough, you will achieve success.

A great man once said that genius relies on 99% perspiration and 1% talent!

Sawamura Eijun himself admitted this sentence, but he knew more.

An athlete, or whatever, really wants to achieve something. Sometimes the 1% of talent is more important than the 99% of sweat.

To use the simplest analogy, just like a basketball player, a person who is 2.4 meters tall will always have an advantage over a person who is 1.6 meters tall.

Putting aside your headshot and jumping, you can't stand it simply because he can reach the rim as soon as he reaches out his hand.

As far as the little friend of Akagi Middle School is concerned, that is, Fengxiang Ouichi, there is a possibility of embarking on a career.

He himself is hard enough and has some talent.

As for other people, they either have no talent at all, or they don't work hard enough. In short, from Sawamura's own experience, it may be difficult for them to go further on the baseball field.

In middle school, it was one thing to take it as a hobby, but in the future, it will be too difficult to really rely on this line of work.

Of course, that doesn't mean there's no benefit to them practicing baseball. No one can make a proper plan for a complete life. It's as if no one knows which comes first tomorrow or the accident.

To be a human being, one must live in the moment. For them, they are all baseball players from Akagi Middle School. They just need to work hard for baseball.

It's just that you can't be a person without thinking about the future at all, especially as the captain of the team, Sawamura is more aware of this.

Therefore, although he urges everyone to train actively on weekdays, he never takes up everyone's study time. For the friends of Chicheng Middle School, baseball is important, but he never let go of his studies.

In the case of taking care of both ends, Sawamura will naturally not let everyone put down their studies for the sake of the competition, especially during the critical period of the final exam.

Therefore, during this period of time, the friends were actively preparing for the exam, while participating in the training as usual to discuss the problems related to Nagano Metropolitan High School.

Among the three kings of Nagano Prefecture, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School can be said to be the most familiar opponent to the friends of Akagi Middle School.

In the previous two competitions, they encountered Nagano Metropolitan Middle School twice.

The style of Nagano Metropolitan High School is very clear.

Simply put, Nagano Metropolitan High School is the regular army among the three king teams.

Tenryuji Middle School relies on Nanami Haruka's personal strong pitching, as well as their natural mobility.

Dabei Middle School relies on their incomparably powerful strike strength!

Then there is Nagano Metropolitan High School. The style of Nagano Metropolitan High School is determined by their coach, Fengxiang Ryugi.

Fengxiang Longyi can be said to be one of the two major teachers in Nagano County Middle School, but he is different from the cunning and cunning old oil head of the coach at Tenryuji Temple. Fengxiang Longyi is of orthodox origin!

As a coach, on the one hand, he improves the personal qualities of the players, and at the same time, he studies the tactics of baseball very thoroughly. Although these tactics of his are really worthless in the eyes of the cunning Tenryuji coach.

But one thing has to be admitted. That is, there are far more professional players trained by Fengxiang Longyi than players in other schools.

Don't look at the hundreds of thousands who play baseball, but very few can truly become professional baseball players. There are only so many people in total.

And the professional players that Feng Xiang trained by himself broke through the double digits.

Even many famous high school teachers can't do this.

Their players can come and go in Koshien in high school, but once they enter the draft or enter the profession, they can't.

In the face of such an opponent, the little friends of Chicheng Middle School also had to get 120,000 points of spirit.

The result of their previous battle with Nagano Metropolis was one victory and one defeat.

When they were the dark horses, they took advantage of the surprise to hold on to the Nagano Metropolitan High School, which was a blockbuster!

As a result, when it came to the autumn competition, Fengxiang Longyi quickly discovered the weakness of Akagi Middle School, and made a special target.

That game made the little friends of Akagi Middle School very embarrassed. Although the difference in the score was not very big, it was because Sawamura Eijun's performance was too good, and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School could not find too many scoring opportunities.

But the process of the game was definitely not like that. In that game, Akagi Middle School didn't find a chance to turn over at all, and was beaten by Nagano Metropolitan Middle School all the time.

Since then, the impression of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the friends of Akagi Middle School.

They are always thinking of revenge.

This is the third time I met Nagano Metropolitan High School, which made my friends nervous and excited.

As old rivals with a long history, of course they have to prepare well.

The friends took the initiative to ask Sawamura to give them additional training.

"It doesn't make any sense, just train at a normal rhythm."

The exam is coming soon, and the difference between the time and the time of the competition is only one day.

Compete on Saturday and Sunday and start exams on Tuesday.

So Saturday and Sunday will not be able to tutor!

There is nothing Sawamura can do about such a thing! When there is no other way, he can only let everyone train and study according to the previous rhythm, and use the most comfortable and relaxed mentality to face the two tests that come almost at the same time.

Although Sawamura didn't ask you much, the friends still actively prepared for the battle.

The training time was an hour longer than usual.

Sawamura knew this very well, but he didn't stop everyone. Although he knows what it means to be too late, who can stop the enthusiasm of the little friends?

After all, they also have their own perseverance and dreams.
