Chapter 40 Teacher Koshishima(1/2)
Baseball is Japan's national sport, and its status is similar to China's table tennis.
Almost all high schools in Japan, large and small, have baseball fields. Many companies and clubs will also have their own baseball teams. Large companies will even invest in professional baseball teams.
High school students who are good at baseball will be very popular among students. After graduation, they can work in companies and receive preferential treatment if they are good at baseball.
Sakura City High School has a bad reputation, but it has also built a special baseball field and the school also has its own student baseball team.
Unfortunately, the competition in high school baseball is very fierce. Those elite baseball schools will send people to make reservations in advance when potential students are in their third year of junior high school.
Those junior high school students who are good at baseball naturally hope to enter a famous baseball school.
After all, baseball is not a one-person sport. No matter how good one person is, he cannot win the game if the team is stretched.
If ordinary schools want to compete with famous baseball schools, they can only invest a lot of money, first hire a famous coach, and then offer various preferential conditions to recruit a whole team of potential students.
Sakura City High School naturally does not have this kind of money. The school's baseball team participates in various baseball competitions every year with the intention of participating.
But even so, among this group of salted fish, if you can play baseball well, you will still be very popular.
Kinoshita Hideki just wants to be the most beautiful kid.
"Strikeout!"
Unfortunately, Kinoshita Hideki finally got on the field to bat, but was struck out brilliantly.
After the batter comes on the field, if the opposing pitcher throws three strikes, or the batter misses three times, the batter will strike out.
This wasn't because the opposing pitcher's ball was too fast. In Higashino Hirosawa's eyes, it was because Kinoshita Hideki didn't grasp the timing well and his swing was either too fast or too slow.
As a result, he missed three swings and was struck out.
"Damn it, Teacher Koshishima was watching, and I got struck out!"
Kinoshita Hideki ran back to Higashino Hirosawa unwillingly and looked at Teacher Koshishima not far away, wanting to cry without tears.
He obviously thought he could hit the ball, but in the end he didn't hit a single ball.
Sakurajo High School built a baseball field, but it was not completely built.
Because this baseball field is much smaller than a normal baseball field, as long as you hit it hard, what is just an outfield ball in other baseball fields will become a home run here.
Before Hideki Kinoshita took a swing, two people had already hit home runs.
Yako Koshishima was a medical teacher in the health room. For some reason, she suddenly came over to watch these low-level second graders play baseball.
Yako Koshishima can be said to be the teacher with the prettiest appearance and the most attractive figure in the entire Sakura City High School.
She is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a tall figure and long black hair. She is the dream lover of many male students.
It is said that some students would pretend to be sick and go to the health room in order to see Yako Koshishima.
Kinoshita Hideki was not that shameless, but when he saw Koshishima Yako watching the game, he wanted to hit a home run so that Koshishima Yako would notice him.
Unfortunately, he swung the bat too eagerly and missed a ball, striking out directly.
Otherwise, take your time and be steady. Higashino Hirosawa feels that Kinoshita Hideki will not miss at least three at-bats, and the last base will not be a big problem.
After all, the pitchers on both sides are not very good, the ball is often hit, and strikeouts are the rarest.
Kinoshita Hideki is the first batsman in this round, the second batsman is another sophomore, and the third batsman is Higashino Hirosawa.
After the boy in front finished beating, it was Higashino Hirosawa's turn to beat him.
"The wishing machine detected the wish request"
"Source: Koshidao Yazi"
"Intensity: Level C"
"Koshishima Yako's wish (C level): Koshishima Yako has been very fond of baseball since she was a child. She is very eager to become a baseball coach and personally cultivate a strong baseball team. She once hoped to lead the baseball team as a coach and win the championship.
Koshien won the championship in the summer, but no school was willing to hire her as a baseball coach. Currently, Koshishima Yako is an investor and coach of an amateur baseball team. Koshishima Yako is looking for someone who can lead the team to win the ongoing amateur baseball competition.
A strong player in the team competition.』
"Reward: 10 wish points, 1 rare wish chest"
"Do you accept Koshishima Yako's wish request?"
It will be Higashino Hirosawa's turn soon.
But at this moment, the wishing machine responded.
A C-rank wish request from Yako Koshishima!
Koshishima Yako came here to find baseball players?
Higashino Hirosawa was a little speechless.
The level of amateur teams that can participate in the competition cannot be compared to this group of students, right?
It seems that Teacher Koshishima was a little sick and urgently sought medical treatment, otherwise he might not have found his way here.
Is the amateur competition imminent?
If that's the case, it doesn't take much time for him to consider taking it.
10 wish points is not a small amount.
However, it depends on what kind of amateur competition it is.
If he doesn't need his real name, he can consider pretending to be his identity.
If there is a risk of exposing your identity, forget it.
After making up his mind, Higashino Hirosawa decided to show a little strength.
The pitcher is not fast, but with his eyesight, it is not difficult to hit a home run.
"Dongye, it's your turn!"
Kinoshita Hideki shouted from the side.
"knew."
Higashino Hirosawa held the bat and walked to the batter's position.
"First goal!"
After Higashino Hirosawa signaled that he was ready, the pitcher threw the ball with a roar.
It's a straight ball right in the center!
Buzz!
Higashino Hirosawa swung out his stick and missed it.
This was intentional on his part.
The catcher and the umpire who were responsible for catching the ball on the side couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the sound of the bat being swung empty.
Not far away, Koshishima Yako also heard it, and she immediately looked at Higashino Hirosawa twice.
"nice shot!"
the referee shouted.
"Second ball!"
The pitcher throws the second pitch.
call!
Higashino Hirosawa swings the bat again.
Still empty.
However, the catcher, the umpire and Yako Koshishima could all see clearly.
There was nothing wrong with the trajectory of Higashino Hirosawa's swing. He was facing the flying baseball. It was just that Higashino Hirosawa's swing was too fast and the ball missed.
In other words, if the pitcher's ball was faster, Higashino Hirosawa would hit the ball.
"nice shot!"
"The third ball!"
Two consecutive strikes gave the pitcher a boost in confidence.
Originally, he was very worried when he saw Higashino Hirosawa's powerful swing.
I didn't expect that I couldn't hit it at all.
The pitcher throws the third ball.
boom!
This time, Higashino Hirosawa stopped letting go and hit the target with one stick.
"Homerun!"
"Well done to Higashikata!"
"sharp!"
