Chapter 978 His rights are unlimited!
Chapter 978 His rights are unlimited!
After the meal, the gorillas went to enjoy the club's massage service, while Hojo Kyosuke and a group of coaches and managers went to a large reception room, accompanied by Principal Koneko, Kisaki and others.
Now we are going to talk about the real things. There are still many teams that are not present, but the strong ones are basically here. Those who did not watch the test at Sobu High School also came here during the meal.
Most of the representatives of the Japanese local teams in the conference room had serious expressions, because whether in terms of development prospects or simple salary, they did not have the confidence to compete with the American teams.
Only the managers of the Hokkaido Ham Fighters and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows were relaxed, because these two people had long seen through that it was absolutely impossible for Hojo Kyosuke to leave his hometown to develop in the major leagues, and it was unclear whether this guy would become a professional player.
In order to keep Hojo Kyosuke in the mainland, these two guys even secretly approached the members of the Sobu High School baseball team to lobby them, saying something like:
"If Hojo-kun really goes to the major leagues to play professionally, then your Koshien this year will be over before it even starts." "You don't want to leave such a big regret in your youth, do you?" "You once had a chance to win Koshien, but you didn't cherish it. If..."
After saying a lot of things, these two teams that had communicated with Hojo Kyosuke in advance saw it very clearly and knew that someone really had no desires.
However, facing the rhetoric of these professionals, Mihara Akizo, Tsuchiya Ryota and others had expressionless faces and solemn appearances. They defended all attacks with just one sentence:
"Hojo-kun's power as a trump card is unlimited."
Regardless of whether he ultimately decides to take his talent to America, or to play professionally for his hometown team, or to stay at Sobu High School and lead everyone to fulfill their dreams, all of us at Sobu High School will unconditionally support him, because Hojo-kun's rights as an ace are unlimited!
Our loyalty to Him is limitless!
Unlimited rights must correspond to unlimited loyalty. This is our bond that shines brighter than gold!
Don't underestimate us, asshole!
The managers of the two teams were deeply moved after hearing this, so they asked these people if they were willing to work for the team after graduating from high school. Not as a player, these people from Sobu High School were not even qualified for the first team (training players and trainees), let alone the third team (training players and trainees), so they could only "work in baseball-related jobs."
But this is also an incredible thing for those who love baseball. Not only can they satisfy their hobby, but they can also make money to support their families. Is there anything better than this in the world?
As soon as these words came out, everyone at Sobu High School who had been so loyal just now—
“Then again…”
In short, the managers of these two teams got some information from Sobu High School. As for the Ham Fighters' friends and relatives strategy?
"Are those people really Hojo Kyosuke's family? Why don't they know anything? When asked whether he would rather go to college or enter society, he doesn't know. When asked if he has a favorite sports team, he doesn't know. When asked if he needs money, he doesn't know. When asked, he..."
You just eat and eat, right? You're such an impolite fellow!
The ornate clock on the wall struck the hour, breaking the silence in the conference room.
Johnson, the manager of the New York Yankees who was the first to publicize on the Internet that his team was going to pursue Hojo Kyosuke, was the first to speak. He first smiled and praised Hojo Kyosuke's astonishing performance during the test.
When the atmosphere became heated, he sighed and said:
"Mr. Hojo, your appearance is a cruel thing for my boys. Really, very cruel. If I didn't believe that they are all strong, I would never let them face you."
This statement resonated with everyone, right? Even without mentioning Matsuo Keijin's joking rounding rule, with the emergence of a super genius like Hojo Kyousuke, the brilliance of those of his generation and even future generations will be overshadowed.
The name Hojo Kyosuke will cover the sky like the atomic dust after a nuclear war, making it dark and gloomy. Everyone will live in his shadow, living in fear.
Although he has indeed raised the ceiling of baseball, from another perspective, he has also stifled more possibilities. Players will lose their desire to win and their motivation to become stronger.
This topic is obviously very serious. Most coaches are former professional players, so it is inevitable that they feel sad. But at this time, Yankee manager Johnson laughed and continued:
"But if I can't bring you back to the club, that would be even more cruel. My boss and my good guys will hate me hahaha--"
After hearing this, everyone present laughed.
"That's right, as long as Mr. Hojo can join our Red Sox, you guys will be the ones crying. My guys will go to heaven early."
"God's favorite land is our California, so Mr. Hojo, the God of the Diamond Stadium, should also return to this land to which he is loyal. Our Dodgers will become your new church!"
"Hojo-kun likes Tokyo very much, right? If you join our team, you don't even need to move. Our Yomiuri Giants is definitely the best team for you!"
"..."
With someone taking the lead, other team managers also threw aside their reserve and began to perform like male birds courting mates. Or rather, reserve was discarded the moment they saw Hojo Kyosuke's 180 magic balls, and now the only thing they had to consider was how to impress Hojo Kyosuke.
As for the fact that face-to-face competition will lead to a premium? Now is not the time to think about that. Just like Johnson said, if you are one step late, you will be doomed. If you can't bring back Hojo Kyousuke, your own boss will let you go too!
Ryota Tsuchiya, who was lucky enough to be present, was stunned. Any offer these people made was worth his entire company. Although he had long known that his ticket owner was very impressive, but...
Is this the world that Hojo-kun faces every day? Would such a person still have troubles? This is truly a life that is as easy as pie.
He quietly turned his head to look at his dear ticket holder, only to see that he was leisurely sipping tea from a small teacup, with a dull expression on his face and a very reluctant smile.
Oh my god, I'm so scared, Hojo-kun is not moved at all?
In fact, Hojo Kyosuke was not really tempted. He was very tempted when he first heard what the manager of Hokkaido-Ham Fighters said, thinking that it would be a good idea to sign a job where he only got paid without doing any work. However, after Kisaki's investigation, he found out.
Professional baseball and Koshien are completely incompatible.
The main reason why Koshien is so popular is its purity, its pure amateurism.
Although baseball giants will spend money to poach talented students, even at this point, they are still only able to do things within the school.
Youth, passion, friendship, hard work, and even love...
The only thing that is not included in these things is money. Maybe Hanshin Koshien is full of scouts who want to wave money to sign players, but at least before the game is over, this game is pure.
If you want to play in Koshien, you can’t become a professional player. If you become a professional player, you have to give up Koshien.
There are also often news reports that a certain player has given up the invitation of the team and continued to play in Koshien. This often makes people burst into tears, because this is the passion and enthusiasm that only youth can have.
Of course, Hojo Kyosuke does not have any system that forces him to "win the Koshien", but he is also not short of money.
In the final analysis, this is a teenage love comedy, okay? I don't have a childhood sweetheart who has loved baseball since we were little and said we'd get married if we made it to Koshien.
Oh, yes, speaking of childhood sweethearts...
Hojo Kyosuke waved his hand to signal Tetsuta Kisaki to come closer and listen. The latter thought something big had happened, and his already serious face became even colder.
"Go and ask them to prepare three roast ducks. I want to take them home later. I want more side dishes. I don't want the modified version. I want the most authentic Chinese roast duck."
Someone whispered.
"..."
Asshole, I thought you wanted to discuss something worth hundreds of millions with me, but you told me you wanted to pack up the takeout?
Cursing in his heart, Tetsuta Kisaki's expression became more serious. After listening, he nodded solemnly, then stood up and quickly walked out of the meeting room.
The coaches and managers who were arguing over there had been paying attention to this side, and were immediately shocked when they saw what Kisaki was doing. Some speculated that another heavyweight opponent was about to join the competition, so Hojo Kyousuke's secretary went out to greet him. Some speculated that Kisaki went to discuss with the legal advisory team sitting in another room (not at all).
Seeing that everyone fell into silence, Hojo Kyosuke quickly said:
"Xisaki just wanted to take care of a personal matter."
It was really unusual for all these guys to suddenly stop and look at him.
"Oh, I see..."
"I don't know if Mr. Hojo is dissatisfied with the conditions I just mentioned. Our boss just sent a message saying that if you are not satisfied with the previously booked house, he has an apartment in Central Park Tower for you to live in. If you can serve the team for x years, he can give it to you for free, and also provide you with a car..."
"Our boss knows that you, Mr. Hojo, are a person who likes to study. He has already negotiated with several universities and can provide you with..."
"..."
Hojo Kyosuke responded very positively to what these people said. From time to time, expressions of being moved, excited, and motionless appeared on his face. He also uttered various exclamations and asked about the specific details of those conditions from time to time, which made the managers even more excited.
Only the New York Yankees coach who spoke first felt a chill in his heart. He keenly realized that although this kid acted very excited, it was all fake.
It's over, isn't it...
Now my boys are going to face a nuclear bomb?
Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A chestnut head came in and shouted:
"Brother! Can you give me one of the roast ducks you asked Xisaki to order? I have never eaten Peking duck!"
The huge shouting made the conference room suddenly quiet, and the managers of the Japanese local team looked at Hojo Kyosuke, each of them stunned. Seeing this, the coaches and managers of America hurriedly asked the translator what happened, and after finding out, they all looked at Hojo Kyosuke in shock.
You guy...
What we are discussing is a matter worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and you are just thinking about packing up the roast duck to take home?
Hojo Kyosuke could no longer hold back the awkward smile on his face, and he simply grabbed a baseball from somewhere and smashed it at Hatagoro's head.
"Get out!" he yelled.
Although the force of this ball was less than 180, it was quite powerful. The coaches present were shocked, fearing that this guy Hojo Kyosuke would become a violent criminal before they could catch him.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw that the boy who suddenly came in and was hit on the head just swayed for a moment and stood firm, and he was in the mood to say another sentence:
"Then we'll each take one away~"
"Get out of here!" someone yelled again.
"Hey hey hey~~"
With a sly smile, Hata Goro happily slipped away.
They were used to this kind of thing. Following their big brother, they would not be hungry for five meals in three days, and they could take away the leftovers. They came in and made a noise just because they were too curious to join in the fun. In fact, there were already a lot of people waiting to order food at Xisaki's place.
When the door closed again, Hojo Kyosuke turned around and looked at the embarrassed faces. He smiled and said:
“When I think about the wonderful life in the future, I can’t help but whet my appetite.”
No way, actually, when he was chatting with Sakura before, he mentioned that the Chinese food here was very authentic and there was even a roast duck oven, and then Sakura expressed her desire to eat it.
When he was a kid, he also tried to replicate roast duck in an oven, but the result was totally different. That was probably when Sakura remembered it.
With this step, managers and coaches have become active again.
Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful...
The people from the Hokkaido Ham Fighters and Tokyo Yakult Swallows felt pity for them, and they even wanted to take advantage of the public expense to pack some delicious food to take home for their families to taste. After all, with the stupid subordinates like Hojo Kyosuke in the front, it would be easy to settle the account.
At the same time on the other side, Ruyilao.
“嘤嘤嘤!嘤嘤嘤!! (Didn’t we agree to have an exam today? Why hasn’t anyone come back yet? Didn’t you do well in the exam and are too embarrassed to come back and see me!?)”
A furry puppy the size of a marshmallow stood in the yard, barking with its head raised. After barking for a while, it ran back and forth on the grass like the wind.
The fat cat Ayue, who was sitting on the treetop, yawned and continued to enjoy the delicious snacks that Momotaro had offered him.
On the streets of Harajuku, Eriri was sitting in a nail salon with her friends. She wasn't getting her nails done, she was just accompanying her friends because that didn't fit her personality. Besides, even if she did it, it would be a two-dimensional style, which would reveal her identity!
Because she had talked to Hojo Kyosuke on the phone before, the girls' topic at this moment was all focused on the two of them.
Recently, they collaborated on novel posters and attended the Tokyo Youth Exhibition together. Her relationship with Hojo Kyosuke can no longer be hidden.
Ishizawa Hisamari said, "Lily, you and Hojo-sensei have such a good relationship!"
Another person enviously said, "Yeah, he sent so many messages and made so many phone calls just in the time it took to go shopping."
The corners of Eriri's mouth, who was sitting nearby and playing with her phone, unconsciously turned into the Nike logo: "Hey... Hey!"
"Hehe! It's just averagely spicy!"
The princess waved her hand and said in an impatient tone: "The main reason is that the man is very clingy. You also know that I have cooperated with him in many areas..."
"Kurosuo! Hojo-sensei looks so cool."
"Yes, yes. Although fans say that he has a good personality in private, but..."
Ying Lili smiled proudly and said, "Oh! You don't know, let me tell you, that person..." (End of this chapter)
