Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher

The eyes of everyone at the scene followed Sawamura's fingers, who were pointing at the dumbfounded Miyuki.

"It's so embarrassing~" Miyuki's skin was surprisingly thick, but he came out very naturally and apologized to Kataoka.

"You two, run laps until the end of the morning exercise," Kataoka ordered coldly.

Sawamura and Miyuki didn't make a sound and ran around the field.

"And the two idiots who share the dormitory with Sawamura, you should go too."

In the senior's team, Kuramochi and Masuko had aggrieved expressions on their faces.

'Why?'

Although aggrieved, they did not dare to argue in front of Kataoka.

So the morning running team of four was officially formed.

"Haha, to report on the senpai, this guy has guts."

"That guy looks familiar as if I have seen him before."

"Is he also from Tokyo?"

"Seems not."

"Sawamura, hmm, it is not him right?"

Several daring freshmen were gossiping in a hushed voice.

At this time, Kataoka turned his head and stared straight at the new team.

Suddenly the few whispering guys were silent.

'Too f*ching scary!'

Being stared at by Kataoka with those eyes, they felt as if they were frozen.

On the senior's side.

Captain Yuuki looked at Sawamura, who was still bickering with Miyuki while running, and the look on his face became deep.

'It's him!'

Thinking about it, he turned to look at Kominato Ryosuke next to him.

The smile on Kominato Ryosuke's face became extremely bright, as bright as it was about to bloom.

For those who are unfamiliar with Kominato Ryosuke, they may think that their senior Ryosuke is a good person.

"He came, that kid."

Ryosuke's smiling eyes narrowed, and there was a gloomy light in the gaps in his eyes.

***

With the running team of four.

"That was dirty, Kohai."

Miyuki was not affected much because of being set up by Sawamura.

"Iya, iya, you too, senpai, weren't you going to set me too?"

Not to be outdone, Sawamura answered him.

"Haha, it's all in the past, don't mind, don't mind."

Miyuki smiled shamelessly.

"Hey, don't ignore me, I'm implicated too, it's all your fault."

At this time, Kuramochi chased after him, and after shouting heavily, he looked at Sawamura viciously.

'Scary!'

Seeing Kuramochi who was coming at him angrily, Sawamura silently accelerated his pace.

"I will run, running is good for a Pitcher!"

…

During the time for the freshmen to introduce themselves and adapt to the training, Sawamura has been running. From 5:30 in the morning until 7:00 in the morning, he ran for a full hour and a half.

He is strict enough with his usual training, but this time he is about to collapse.

When he was in the cafeteria dedicated to the baseball club, he saw a sign above the cafeteria's cooking window.

[You must eat three bowls or more!]

'I missed that!'

With a slight smile, Sawamura started to eat, ready to replenish the physical stamina he had consumed in the morning.

One bite, one bite, another bite, Sawamura ate slowly.

"You won't finish like this."

Miyuki, who no one knows when he sat next to him said: "The morning training is very tiring. How much can you eat when you are slow like this?"

Sawamura ignored him, rolled his eyes, and continued to eat bite by bite, chewing slowly at his own pace.

"Honestly, it's bad for you to eat like this."

Miyuki suggested very carelessly: "Just swallow it, you don't need to enjoy every bite like this."

"Shut it, I am replenishing the lost energy in my body, and I am not some rice bucket to gulp and gobble the food. My stomach should have its time to digest."

As soon as the words came out, Sawamura suddenly felt that the surroundings were full of bad eyes.

Those seniors who were gulping and gobbling the food, stopped eating? one by one and looked at Sawamura viciously.

'Who are you kid saying is a rice bucket?'

Sawamura smiled awkwardly.

"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." He swore to the angry Senpais that he didn't do it on purpose, telling them he didn't mean anything.

"Haha, in this way, even the second-year Senpais will dislike you."

Miyuki smiled knowingly.

Seidou's current third grade is the same group of students who had a showdown with Sawamura when he came to visit two years ago. Takigawa Chris Yu, Yuuki Tetsuya, and Kominato Ryosuke, the leaders of their team, suffered losses to Sawamura.

Therefore, most of the third-year seniors glanced at Sawamura with bad eyes.

But this is also in Seidou, even if everyone is upset, they will not deliberately make trouble for Sawamura. If he had changed to another place, they might have started to stumble on Sawamura secretly at this time.

In Seidou's second year, except for the few who were promoted to the first string, the others were all headed by the Maezono.

The principle that Maezono and his group believe in is to work harder, by working harder, anything is possible, and even surpassing the seniors in eating is possible.

They believe that sweat doesn't lie.

Of course, because they worked hard and practiced a lot, they also ate a lot, which is the meaning of the "Rice bucket" in Sawamura's words.

Sawamura gave Miyuki a displeased glance, this guy is simply his nemesis.

'No, I must stay away from him in the future.'

Just when Sawamura made up his mind to stay away from Miyuki in the future, he didn't know that many people in the same grade around him were pointing at him.

Although Sawamura was late in the morning, he was not too late. Everyone has just gathered and is still introducing themselves.

Although they saw him in the morning, because of the mist in the morning and the situation, they didn't recognize him.

It's different now!

They were all in the cafeteria, and they could see Sawamura's appearance very clearly.

"Is it him?"

"Yes, it must be him."

"This is big news, I've never heard of it before."

"I heard that all the Famous schools in Japan have sent him invitations."

"Osaka Kiryuu, Kanagawa Yokogaku, and Teito and Inashiro have all publicly invited them."

"Those four are regulars at Koshien. I didn't expect that he would reject them all and come here. Seidou hasn't entered the Koshien for several years now."

"Doesn't that mean that we are very hopeful this time? After all, two national championships with a nameless school is no small achievement"

"Oi, oi, don't underestimate high school baseball! Although that person was strong in middle school, he may not be able to perform well in high school."

…

The chatter of the Players did not escape Miyuki's ears.

"I didn't expect you to be so famous in your grade?"

Miyuki said with emotion: "Then you are not the real leader of your grade."

Sawamura was tactful: "It's not that simple. Toujou and Kanemaru, who have scored in the top four in the country in junior baseball in middle school, one is the Ace and the other is the third baseman. There is also Takatsu who left behind a record in junior baseball. They may not accept me. And…"

Saying that Sawamura glanced at him, a quiet and tall young man with a shy baby face.

'In this grade, there are many powerful guys.'

'And these guys' achievements didn't change because of my rebirth, and they all gathered in Seidou.'

"The scouts are doing a great job."

Miyuki pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile.

"As expected of you, the Ace and the Coach in middle school."

"I am over-flattered," Sawamura said humbly.

"By the way, why didn't I see Chris-senpai, where is he?"
