Chapter 190: Training Plan

Sawamura Eijun felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow; his entire being was dazed, and Huangqian Yangyi's words echoed incessantly in his ears.

"I, I..."

Sawamura could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"If your friends knew that you gave up the chance to enter Seido because of them, what do you think they would feel?"

"Happy? Glad? No! They would feel guilty!"

"Or is it that the reason you rejected Takashima Rei's invitation is actually because you are afraid, afraid to leave your hometown alone and come to Seido, and your little friends are just a convenient excuse you can use to escape?"

"Are you such a coward?"

"Ha?! Damn you! What did you say?!" Sawamura shouted, looking up in anger.

Huangqian Yangyi chuckled indifferently, "If you want your friends to carry the burden of guilt toward you for the rest of their lives, you can turn around and leave right now. Of course, you could also choose not to tell them the truth, and decades later, regret it in silence all by yourself, licking your wounds like an injured stray dog."

Hey, hey, that's too much, that's too harsh.

What a venomous tongue!

The little friends were shocked beyond words, and Takashima Rei wanted to speak up several times; no matter what, this was a newcomer she had her eye on, and if he were completely ruined here by Huangqian Yangyi's excessive blows, it would be a great pity.

"Think about it carefully. If you really can't make a decision, go home and ask your friends, if you truly consider them your friends."

After saying this, Huangqian Yangyi turned and left without looking back.

"Rei-chan, I'm going to the gym."

"I'm going too!" Miyuki shouted and hurriedly followed.

Takashima Rei nodded, then shouted to the onlookers: "Everyone go train, stop watching!"

Then, she walked to the side of the dazed Sawamura and sighed helplessly; Yangyi was too harsh, and she really didn't know if asking him for help was right or wrong.

"Although Yangyi's words were harsh, he wasn't wrong. You, think about it carefully." Takashima Rei didn't know what else to say at this moment.

At this time, Sawamura raised his head, looking into Takashima Rei's eyes with a firm gaze.

"He, what is his name?" Sawamura asked.

Hearing this, a flash of light crossed Takashima Rei's eyes; it seemed there was a chance.

"Huangqian Yangyi, First Year, this year's Koshien champion Pitcher, and also our Seido's ace!"

"Koshien champion Pitcher? Ace?!" Sawamura was truly shocked this time.

"Yes, so, it's normal to lose to him, don't take it to heart." Takashima Rei took the opportunity to comfort Sawamura.

Unexpectedly, Sawamura's eyes gleamed, and he said with a trembling voice: "I've decided! I'm going to join Seido. Sooner or later, I will Strikeout him. No, I will become the ace and let him know the power of Lord Sawamura."

"Ahahahaha!"

Takashima Rei's glasses almost fell off; what was wrong with this kid, why did his mood change so quickly? He wouldn't have gone crazy from the excessive stimulation, would he?

"Since you've made up your mind, then it's settled, you cannot go back on your word," Takashima Rei said.

Sawamura stopped laughing and gave a heavy nod.

He had to admit that what Huangqian Yangyi said had helped him understand many things.

He had thought that leaving Nagano Prefecture was betraying his friends and that they would be sad because of it, but now that he thought about it, they should be happy for him too, right?

On the other side, downstairs at the dormitory.

"Didn't you say we were going to the gym? Why are we back at the dormitory?" Miyuki asked, following behind Huangqian Yangyi.

"If I didn't say that, how could we slip away? Although it's self-directed training, it's not good to slack off openly," Huangqian Yangyi said.

Miyuki made an 'ah' sound, then smirked, "Yangyi, you guy!"

Back in the dormitory, Huangqian Yangyi took a notebook out of a drawer, opened it, and handed it to Miyuki.

"Take a look."

Miyuki took the notebook suspiciously and began to read.

"Basic Reshaping Training?"

"Correcting baseball habits, establishing a scientific pitching framework, physical fitness reserves."

The more he read, the more confused Miyuki became; this was so basic.

"Three 5km runs per week, Hip Explosive Power Training, Shoulder and Elbow Stability Training, Joint Flexibility Training, Pivot Foot Positioning, Pitching Posture Adjustment, Four-seam Fastball Training..."

Soon, Miyuki finished reading and closed the notebook.

"What is this for?" Miyuki asked.

This training plan was very detailed, one could say it was detailed to the point of being absurd.

"Do you think this training plan is suitable for that kid from earlier?" Huangqian Yangyi smiled.

"What? You made this for him? Why? Is he your relative?"

Huangqian Yangyi shook his head, "He is someone Rei-chan has her eye on, so it's like doing her a favor. Besides, this kid has great potential; I don't believe you can't see that."

"Hehehe, but even so, you're putting in too much effort," Miyuki said.

He was quite interested in Sawamura's pitching; although the ball speed was a bit slow, as long as he underwent systematic training to correct his incorrect posture and force-chain, it shouldn't be a problem to increase it to 135 km/h in a short time.

In the future, reaching 140 km/h would only be a matter of time. For high school baseball, having such speed, plus his natural Seven-colored Changeup, would be enough.

"Well, I'm doing it for myself too. Next year, Tanba-senpai will retire, and the team can't just have me and Kawakami as pitchers; it would be very tiring. I also want a good helper."

"That reason is barely acceptable," Miyuki nodded.

"This training plan of yours is already very detailed; you've thought of almost all of that guy's shortcomings, but..."

"But what?"

"Batting Practice, why is there only Bunting Training?" Miyuki asked, pointing to the Batting Practice section in the notebook.

Huangqian Yangyi chuckled, "Don't worry about that. In any case, since you also think there's no problem, I'll give it to him later."

Miyuki shrugged and said indifferently: "As long as you're happy. But doing this, won't you be too tired?"

From Kawakami to Kuramochi, and now to this middle schooler, Huangqian Yangyi was truly sparing no effort for Seido's Three-peat.

"Heh, just this little thing? Who do you think I am?"

Huangqian Yangyi said disdainfully, reaching out to take the notebook from Miyuki's arms, then turned and took another notebook from the drawer, on which was written the same training plan.

The two left the dormitory; Miyuki went to the gym, while Huangqian Yangyi called Takashima Rei directly.

"Rei-chan, where are you?"

After the call connected, Huangqian Yangyi asked impatiently.

"It's Yangyi. I'm in the parking lot, getting ready to take Sawamura to the station." Takashima Rei had just fastened her seatbelt when she received the call.

"Wait a moment, I have something for that kid." Huangqian Yangyi said, and walked toward the school parking lot.
