The next day, the first thing Kitahara Shuji did when he arrived at school was to ask Yuma Uchida to inquire about the details of Suzuki Noki. Yuma Uchida is not good at anything else, but he is quite good at asking for information. Yuma Uchida also attaches great importance to it.
After all, Kitahara Shuji rarely asked him to do anything of his own accord. He patted his chest and promised that he would mobilize all his connections and ask all the eighteen generations of Suzuki Noki's ancestors.
However, when school was over in the afternoon, Yuma Uchida had nothing to show for it. He didn't even find out which junior high school Suzuki Noki had attended before, so he felt a huge loss of face. Kitahara Shuji was also helpless about this, he didn't know anything about it in school.
For a few acquaintances, if they wanted to inquire about things, they basically had to rely on Yuuma Uchida, so they could only comfort him a few times and ask him to keep up the good work.
Yuma Uchida was also cruel. This was related to his dignity. Although his dignity was not valuable, it could not be wasted like this. He sent emails along the way, asking a few questions about anyone he knew. When it came to baseball,
Sheya smiled playfully and asked his fellow students and teammates, but his understanding of Suzuki Noki was only general.
No one knows who her friends are, no one knows which junior high school she graduated from, no one knows what her family does. It seems that this person's life started in high school, and no one has any impression of her before.
.
Yuma Uchida felt a little numb, and he felt that it would be difficult to meet Hideji Kitahara tomorrow. As soon as he changed into his baseball uniform and arrived at the stadium, he heard someone calling for a gathering. He quickly ran towards the side of the stadium, where a crowd was already surrounding him.
Circle of people.
He didn't squeeze in, and just listened from the outside, but soon a name caught his attention, "... Starting from today, first-year Suzuki Noki will serve as the team manager and recorder. I hope everyone will do it in the future."
…”
Suzuki Noki? Uchida Yuuma was stunned and quickly squeezed in. At a glance, he saw a pretty girl standing next to Suzuki Hanako, the supervising teacher of the baseball club (private Daifuku Academy school doctor) and looking at everyone with a smile. She was wearing a
Baseball shirt, but because she is too thin, the small baseball shirt seems to be hanging on her body, making it look empty and fat. Under the white baseball cap is a paler face, especially her eyes.
She was attractive and as black as paint, which made her face look even more bloodless - Yuma Uchida instinctively felt that this girl was in poor health and doubted whether she could stand for five minutes under the scorching summer sun without fainting.
Members of the private Daifuku Baseball Club also began to whisper. After all, baseball is a boys' sport. Before 1996, girls were not allowed to enter the bench in Koshien. Of course, they could be spectators. They could also dance and sing as a support team in the auditorium.
, it’s okay to work as an auxiliary with the team, but you’re not allowed to enter the venue.
Of course, it is possible now. After all, the era of equal rights for men and women has arrived. Such gender discrimination has caused a lot of criticism, and the college baseball league is also afraid of being scolded by the public - it is about the same time as women are allowed to participate in national-level kendo competitions.
Influenced by the trend of independent women in Japan during that period - but there was a problem.
The Koshien team can register for 21 people, 18 players, 1 supervising teacher, 1 scorer, and 1 coach. Koshien is known for its rumor that "a team with female scorers cannot beat a team with male scorers", which has led to
There seems to be no winning team with a female scorer...
A layman may not be unclear, but an expert should understand that the position of scorer sounds ordinary, but its role in the team is still very important. Not only must it record data, but it must also analyze the opponent's tactical intentions through data.
Fang Peiqiu provides advice and actually plays the role of an assistant coach in the team. However, the private Daifuku Academy baseball team does not have a full-time coach and only has a supervising teacher who is the school doctor. The scorer is the actual coach.
A girl teaches everyone how to play baseball? Is this a joke in itself? The Kanto and Kansai teams never recruit girls, so it seems that the Kanzhong in the middle shouldn't either, right?
Besides, this girl seems to be in very bad health... What should I do if she basks in the sun or faints due to excitement? Is it a competition or a rescue?
Suzuki Noki didn't care about the questioning looks and whispers. She bowed slightly to everyone and said with a smile: "Seniors and classmates, I am Suzuki Noki from Class A of the first year. Please take good care of me in the future.
Here you don’t need to think of me as a record keeper or a female manager, you should think of me as..."
She smiled very cutely, her tone was soft and gentle, and her words were so polite that everyone's expressions involuntarily slowed down slightly, but she straightened up, the smiling expression on her face did not change, and even her tone of voice did not change.
Change, and continued in an extremely matter-of-fact tone: "... Just be a coach. From now on, if you understand my orders, you must obey them. If you don't understand, just understand them carefully and then obey them. If your brain is not good enough and you can't understand them, you must obey them. If you don't obey them, you must obey them."
People can just leave, the team doesn't need such people."
The private Daifuku Academy baseball team had nearly thirty members, and there was an uproar. One of the second-year boys protested to Suzuki Hanako: "Mr. Suzuki, what do you mean?"
He suspected that Suzuki Noki was a relative of Suzuki Hanako, and Suzuki Hanako smiled helplessly and said softly: "Oura-san, it is the school council's order for Suzuki-san to manage the team. In the team, I must also obey Suzuki-san's words.
"
What she means is that small arms can't twist thick thighs, so don't resist, just be honest and obedient. If she wants to be the coach, let her be.
Oura was stunned, and Suzuki Nozomi glanced at him, took out a tablet and slid it twice, and chuckled: "Is it Minister Oura? The data from the last competition is really eye-catching. As the top four
A bat, no hits, no runs, and three consecutive strikeouts. This string of zeros really suits you... How can a guy like you have the nerve to protest? Just stay there and don't say anything. If I hear one more word from you today, I'll kick you out.
team!"
Oura's face turned red quickly and said angrily: "You..." He is now a reserve minister. He has basically retired in the third grade (he was eliminated in the first round of the summer competition and is preparing to enter college). He is the designated next minister.
The candidate is just waiting for approval from the student council. Suzuki Hanako usually talks to him politely. What kind of attitude does a first-year person have?
He was about to get angry, but Nozomi Suzuki interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand, and said directly: "You can leave! I will help you fill in the retirement years."
"Why, this is everyone's team! Junior, you..." Oura took a step forward and got really angry, and everyone behind him started to make noises. A woman in a suit stood up behind Suzuki Noki and stared coldly.
He looked at Oura and the people behind him, signaling that anyone who dared to take a step forward would be attacked.
Nozomi Suzuki revealed half of her head behind the girl in the suit and smiled: "There is no such thing as everyone's team. From now on it will be my own team."
Reiki Hanako quickly smoothed things over and said: "Dear students, the school is very dissatisfied with the results of the last competition, so we specially invited Suzuki-san to provide tactical guidance and help everyone train. If Suzuki-san leaves, the baseball club may be abolished.
Everyone, think it over carefully - gentlemen, this is the school’s final decision!”
Then she persuaded Suzuki Noki in a low voice, her words were very polite, "Noki-chan, it's better to live in harmony with everyone. Please consider everyone's feelings, please."
Suzuki Nozomi padded the tablet and said casually: "I don't feel the need to consider their mood for these wastes. These people are worthless in my eyes. Why should I accommodate them? If they want to stay, then use the waste.
You can just pick up balls, weed, or whatever. If you don’t want to stay, just leave. I want to reorganize the team anyway!”
Then she looked at Oura and said calmly: "I said, you are fired, leave here immediately!" Then she looked at Oura's angry face, smiled and said: "What? You want to hit me? Ah-pan, get out of the way and let him
Hit me! The most minor form of violence in school is a serious demerit, and with my body, if he slaps me, he will have to drop out of school. Let’s see if he has the guts to hit me!”
The girl in the suit hesitated for a moment, as if she thought she could easily stop a group of high school students even if they had any ill intentions, so she actually got out of the way. Suzuki Nozomi looked at Oura with a smile, as if she was looking forward to seeing if he had the courage, but
Hanako didn't dare to let her take this risk, so she quickly stood in front of her and said helplessly to Oura: "Oura-san, please leave first!"
Oura stood there holding his fists and hesitated for a moment. After all, he did not dare to hit someone on the baseball field, let alone hit someone across the supervising teacher. He turned around and walked away, saying angrily: "I will go to the student union to complain."
He felt that his team had been taken away by the school and Noki Suzuki, and the supervising teacher was still helping the other side, so he planned to go to the student union to complain.
"Whatever." Suzuki Noki didn't care at all, but looked around and asked, "Who wants to leave?"
The crowd swayed for a moment, and then a few people chased Oura with expressions of dissatisfaction. The remaining people also had ugly expressions on their faces. They were very opposed to the school's decision, but they dared not speak out. Suzuki Noki nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
: "It's a bit of a pity. I thought that at least half of the people would have to leave... Then listen up to those who remain, no matter whether you were in the main selection before or not, now you are all downgraded to the second army (reserve). I want to
Re-select a team of members based only on ability, not seniority! Now get me moving and start warming up. The catcher goes to put on protective gear, the pitcher goes to the mound to assemble, the batter rolls out the pitching machine, and starts hitting me at 160 an hour.
Bar!"
Yuuma Uchida is the substitute catcher in the team, and he is quickly getting ready to put on protective gear - he is only a first grader, and if he wants to dance, he must be a second grader. He doesn't want to compete with Noki Suzuki, this girl is smiling but
Holding Shang Fang's sword, it was obvious that he was going to chop down all those who dared to jump today, in order to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and frightening monkeys.
A monkey has already died, so a chicken like him should be more honest! Let the bigger one go to the student union to make trouble and see if the school will change its mind.
He is still very good at eye-catching. This is his natural instinct. He usually likes to brag, but when there is real danger, he never shows up. He just muttered in his heart: "This woman looks very difficult to mess with. Beitahara asked about her situation."
What are you doing? No, I’ll call you later to persuade her. It’s better not to mess with this woman. It’s obvious that the family is not a good person.”
Suzuki Noki entered working mode. She first looked at the pitches of the starting pitcher and reliever, and then watched the batter hit the ball. She recorded it on the tablet. After the inspection was completed, she said with a smile: "The starting pitcher's ball speed is 119.
This is really not an ordinary weakness... You will be beaten if you send it to a junior high school competition, right? Do you usually train? Yes? Ah, this is really a surprising answer... You have no talent, stay in the second army
Bar!"
She didn't even say anything about the other pitchers, but looked at the batter team and said with a smile: "You all have a pitifully low hit rate on the straight balls thrown by the machine... I still want to ask, do you usually train? Look at your body shape
, have you never practiced upper body strength? You are preparing to participate in a competition, not a game called 'Happy Baseball'!"
She walked in front of these team members and continued to smile and said: "Every year, five thousand teams participate, with more than 100,000 participants, and 45 million viewers... Are you just playing a game? Do you think you can get results by just playing casually?
?When other teams are running like dogs, you are playing happy baseball; when other teams are improving their strength, you are still playing happy baseball; when other teams are repeatedly practicing defensive strategies, you are still playing happy baseball! Summer
The game is over, not a single point was scored, and it was a super humiliating defeat in the first round. Aren't you super happy? Everyone is staying in the second army until someone is worthy of being promoted to the first army!"
"I don't care what you think, but I want to see Koshien, and then I must go and see it! Now according to this training plan, training starts from physical fitness. Anyone who can't stand it is welcome to quit at any time. I only want the best and most capable
People who can endure hardships the most. Of course, I am not an unkind person. People who like baseball but are not interested in the game can set up something like a 'Happy Baseball Club'. The school will allocate funds for you.
You can play happy baseball with Oura and the others there as you like - even if Oura doesn't protest today, I will at least remove him. He has not fulfilled his responsibility of leading a team at all. After losing, he did nothing all summer and only led the team.
Let everyone have fun!"
"He never thought that the team would win. Such a person is not worthy of being a minister! There is only one quota for the school to participate. Those who don't want to win should give up their positions and let those who want to win and can win! Okay, no more nonsense.
I told you, there won’t be many of you left in a week or two anyway! Let’s start and run until you vomit!” After Suzuki Nozomi finished speaking, she casually designated a temporary team leader, and then watched the group of boys begin to form a team to prepare to surround them.
While running laps on the court, the woman in a suit brought a folding chair for her, and she sat in the shade on the sidelines. At the same time, she waved to Yuma Uchida and said with a smile: "Uchida, come here."
Yuma Uchida was stunned for a moment, then trotted over quickly and said with a mean smile: "Suzuki-san, ah, no, coach, what are your orders?"
It is said that a person who knows the current affairs is a hero. Yuma Uchida has always been a hero.
Suzuki Nozomi smiled, but did not let him sit down. She asked him to stand in front of her and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work today, Uchida. You spent the whole day asking for news about me."
Uchida Yuma was stunned, and Suzuki Noki asked again: "Did Kitahara-san tell you to do this?"
"Ah, this...no, it's because I admired the coach very much before. When I heard that you finally came to school, I was very excited, so I asked a few garrulous questions. Don't be offended!"
Which bastard betrayed him? How did this girl know that he was asking about her?
Suzuki Nozomi looked at him with some appreciation and said warmly: "I'll just take it like this. Although you are really talkative and have asked more than two hundred people in one day, I like loyal people. You are very good.
I won’t pursue it...you don’t need to use honorifics to me, we are students of the same grade, let’s get along as friends!”
Yuma Uchida said solemnly: "That's not possible. The coach is the coach. How can you speak plain language? You must use honorific language!"
Suzuki Noki smiled sweetly: "I like you even more, Uchida!"
Uchida Yuuma was stunned by Suzuki Noki's smile. He often talked about things behind his back, but he was not an ordinary coward in front of girls, and Suzuki Noki was indeed very beautiful. He felt quite flattered and even his palms became sweaty.
, was speechless for a moment, and Noki Suzuki continued to ask: "Uchida, do you think the team can win next summer if it is like this now?"
Uchida Yuuma understood immediately and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Of course we can't win. I support all the coach's decisions 10,000%! We must increase the intensity of training and we will definitely reach Koshien next year!"
"Really? Support all my decisions?"
"real!"
"That's great. It's great that you have such determination. Then go and trick Kitahara-san! We need a pitcher with normal ball speed, at least not at the level of playing in the open space on the roadside. This task will be left to you!"
Yuma Uchida was stunned again, and after a moment he showed a crying face and said: "Coach, I am an extremely honest person, I will not lie to others!"
If he dared to lie to Kitahara Hideji, not to mention that Kitahara Hideji was not easy to deal with, he was afraid that Ritsu Shikishima would kill him first.
Suzuki Noki nodded repeatedly, "I know this does make you a little embarrassed, Uchida, but I really think highly of you. You are the main catcher in my plan. I think you have great potential that can be tapped. Your mind
He is calm, can quickly judge the situation, has good arm strength, can often make accurate long passes, and is particularly good at observing the opponent. He gives instructions to the pitcher according to the opponent's size and position, and his performance can be said to be quite perfect... Therefore,
You deserve an ace pitcher as your partner."
Yuma Uchida was a little in disbelief and said in surprise: "This, this, this... is this true? So I have great potential?" He was a little excited for a moment, feeling that these words were spoken to his heart.
Could it be that I, Lord Xiongma, have finally met Bole?
Suzuki Noki smiled: "Of course it's fake. I'm just telling you that it's not difficult to deceive people. So, find a way to trick Kitahara-san. You have a very close relationship with him, so you should be able to find a way."
Yuuma Uchida looked at Noki Suzuki speechlessly, but he didn't dare to get angry. He laughed and said: "Well...Kitahara doesn't know how to play baseball. He doesn't even know the rules. Why did you lie to him?"
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Suzuki Noki - this girl is also obsessed with Kitahara's face? It's possible!
He quickly added, "He also has a girlfriend. She is Fukuzawa Yuri from Class H. She is a talented kendo girl with a huge figure and a perfect score. She is also very beautiful. She can score at least 99 points. She is also in love with Kitahara.
, we are like glue, and now we eat lunch together every day, and we will probably get married after graduating from high school."
Suzuki Noki knew that Yuma Uchida was thinking wrongly, but she didn't care. She just smiled and said: "I think he has talent, so I want him to come. As for the rules and other things, it is not difficult for him. Tell him what he should do."
I can remember it... But let me tell you in detail about Fukuzawa Yuki, does Kitahara-san think highly of her?"
Uchida Yuuma didn't want to reveal too much about Kitahara Shuji, so he said: "This should be more important, right? You are also your girlfriend after all, so you must take it to heart!"
Nozomi Suzuki nodded to show that she understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go to train, don't forget what I told you, and trick Kitahara-san into coming as soon as possible."
Yuma Uchida was crying and did not dare to object anymore. He was about to go back to discuss with Hideji Kitahara and ask Hideji Kitahara to help him make an idea. He turned around and joined the lap queue. Suzuki Noki muttered to himself: "Fukuzawa Yuki"
Is...really his girlfriend? Then we need to pay more attention to it."
