Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

A series of famous baseball team names came out of Okamoto Masato's mouth, and the corresponding logos of each team appeared on the TV screen. Then these logos rotated to form a circle, and a bust of Hojo Kyosuke appeared in the middle.

In the photo, he has one hand in his pocket, his smile is warm and gentle, yet he exudes an extraordinary charm.

The baseball giants who would normally be hard pressed to get a contract, at this moment, gathered around Hojo Kyosuke like bees, and a feeling of pride unconsciously flowed through the hearts of the audience.

That’s America’s super elite team!

Miss Takashima Lin covered her little mouth and made an "oh oh oh" sound continuously, occasionally with two "Siguoyi" sounds.

At this time, a resident guest asked:

"What about you, Coach Okamoto? Are our domestic teams indifferent?"

"How do you know we didn't take action?"

Okamoto Masato said unhappily:

"Of course we want to strive for a miracle of this level, but whether it's financial resources or future prospects, what can we use to compete with the American teams?"

Actually, there is. According to Hojo Kyosuke's reaction during the day, as well as the investigations of scouts and reporters, the local teams in Japan that are paying attention to Hojo Kyosuke now have a consensus, that is -

That guy would never give up high school to play professional baseball!

Let's not talk about baseball, just talk about Hojo Kyosuke's achievements in comics and novels. If any other boy became famous at such a young age, he would definitely not stay in school and would have started to enjoy the pleasure of fame and money.

But Hojo Kyosuke is different. According to the investigation of the intelligence agent of the credit agency, this guy rarely asks for leave. At most, he just sleeps a lot in class. But after class, he will wake up immediately to chat with the female classmates in the class. He can even get along with ordinary classmates in a friendly manner, which shows that he enjoys campus life very much.

Although those American teams are rich, they will never build a Japanese-style high school for Hojo Kyosuke next to their team. This is the first victory for the local team.

Yokohama BayStars, backed by the Japanese gaming giant DeNA, has many areas where they can cooperate with Hojo Kyosuke. Even if there is no baseball involved, the two sides will inevitably have contact.

There is also the Hokkaido Ham Fighters who had previously snatched away Shohei Otani. Apart from anything else, just throwing out an order can turn the Hojo Ranch into one of the largest ranches in the area.

In short, it can be said that just a baseball can fulfill any of Hojo Kyosuke's... ahem, some wishes, just like the Dragon Ball that has been edited and deleted again.

This is the second win for the local team over the American giants!

And then the third...

There are still many things to say, but this is not something that can be said in front of the camera, even the decision their team made before - not to require Hojo Kyosuke to participate in the competition, to support him with a big contract for free, as long as he does not join other teams.

The Yakult Swallows and the Ham Fighters have reached an agreement not to disclose this decision to other teams to avoid others joining their competition.

After all, now Hojo Kyosuke is not just a talented baseball boy, but a super genius who is famous all over the country and even the world. Even if he doesn't participate in a single game, as long as he can be recruited into the team, it will be enough to sell tickets like crazy.

Now it's not just voice actors who are becoming idols, the trend of athletes becoming idols is also sweeping the world. Athletes are creating wealth and fame far beyond their athletic abilities!

Even contestants without any talent can attract countless attention with their good looks, let alone an invincible genius like Hojo Kyosuke who breaks the rules of the world?

In the afternoon, when the team manager and coach accompanied Hojo Kyosuke back to the team after dinner, the executive director of the head office had already issued instructions to follow up no matter what, giving the team great autonomy. As long as it does not affect the normal operation of the team, they should pursue Hojo Kyosuke with all their strength!

"If we can really sign him, we will probably build a new baseball field starting next year!"

What? Did you agree with Hojo Kyosuke that he won't participate in the game? It doesn't matter, can't you just write his name down in every game and not let him play? Or even better, you can invite him to the stadium every now and then to throw a ball?

Won’t these tickets sell like hot cakes?

No team can ignore this huge commercial value.

but……

This man who has caused unrest in dozens or even hundreds of teams around the world is now determined to stay in a weak team, hoping to make it to Koshien with those useless players whose pitching speed is less than 130.

"Youth is so good..."

Okamoto Masato sighed somewhat disheartened.

During the afternoon discussion, someone in the team even came up with a clever idea to have the head office, Yakult Honsha, acquire Sobu High School...

More importantly, the head office's executive director and everyone had a serious meeting to discuss it. After all...

If I can't sign Hojo Kyosuke, it seems like it would be a good idea to buy his school?

Unfortunately, after a few phone calls, the plan fell through. It turned out that the Yomiuri Giants had politely inquired about the price and were decisively rejected by the directors of Sobu High School. Investing in a school is not a high-return investment, but more like an investment in fame and fortune. The identity of a director of a prestigious school will bring great status to the directors, such as the Yukinoshita family.

Masato Okamoto's sigh resonated with Mi-chan, and he began to talk incessantly about the days when he and his friends struggled to get into Koshien in high school.

Naturally no one believed this. This guy was only 1.5 meters tall. There was no way he could fight in Koshien.

"I'm on the cheering team! Who said Koshien only belongs to the baseball team? Without everyone's support, they definitely won't be able to make it to Koshien, okay!"

Mi-chan argued loudly.

Masao asked suddenly, "Did your school make it to Koshien?"

"Of course not." Mi Jiang answered neatly.

"Ha! Then your support is useless!"

"No, no, no, I think it's because Mi-chan's support is so bad!"

Mi Jiang yelled, "What does the team's poor performance have to do with our cheering group? The team lost, but the cheering group didn't lose, okay!"

Everyone laughed out loud, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The topic naturally shifted to today's practice match, Hojo Kyosuke's opponents and teammates.

"Have you heard?"

Mi Jiang looked at the others mysteriously.

"Nani Nani?"

Miss Takashima Lin immediately cooperated and asked, she thought there would be more revelations from Hojo Kyosuke.

"I heard that Hojo-sensei's opponent has now been given a nickname."

"Um?"

Everyone was confused. Isn't this right? If he got the nickname, it should be given to Hojo Sensei? Why does his opponent have a role?

Eriri, Hanahana Taro and others in front of the TV also showed puzzled expressions, and Mitsuha Miyamizu turned her head and looked at someone with a questioning look.

Hojo Kyosuke shrugged and said:

"You know, I'm a kind person. I can't do such a cruel thing as caring about the loser after winning the game."

Upon hearing this, the witch gave him a coquettish look.

Eriri elbowed the man possessed and muttered, "Fart!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

By this time, Mi Jiang had kept the secret for long enough, and a few large, colorful words appeared on the TV screen:

【Disposable opponent! ! 】

The guests speculated on the reason, saying that it was because of Hojo Kyosuke's killer baseball that eliminated all opponents one by one. Another said that people who played baseball with him would never dare to play with him again.

Then Mijiang showed a video.

"...You ask those people from the American Major League Baseball who earn tens of millions of dollars a year to come and see if they can hit the ball that Hojo-sama hits? See if they will get struck out? See if they can perform better than me?"

A student wearing a baseball uniform with the words "Komatsukawa" written on it appeared on the screen, spitting into the microphone:

"If you don't believe me, you can invite the top players from the Japanese and American professional baseball teams to compete with Hojo-sama. Then you will know that they are no different from a high school student like me! Since no one can escape the fate of being struck out by Hojo-sama, then I, Keihito Matsuo, can also play professional baseball, right?

Coach! I'm going to play professional baseball this year. When you help me contact the team, tell them that I'm a super genius who can compete with Hojo-sama!"

The video ends with the boy named Keijin Matsuo shouting for his coach, and a figure covering his face and running away.

Zheng Nan hesitated and said, "...Um, the person who ran away was his coach, right?"

"Yes, probably, at least before today, but it's hard to say after that."

"Hahaha, is it because this guy is going to play professional baseball?"

This harsh remark immediately caused the others to burst into laughter.

Then Mi Jiang pointed the microphone at the two guests and asked:

"So, what do Coach Okamoto and Doctor Arikawa think of the statement made by Hojo Kyousuke's first opponent in his baseball career?"

Masato Okamoto picked up the microphone and said:

"In a sense, it is correct, because it is true as he said. Facing Hojo-sensei's monstrous strength, there is no difference between amateurs and professional baseball players with an annual salary of hundreds of millions. His dominance is not divided by levels."

Finally, he added:

"But there are so many things to say, but for a professional baseball team, the intensity of training alone is something that ordinary people cannot bear, so I think Matsuo-san should think carefully."

"Siguoyi!"

Miss Takashima Lin exclaimed:

"Hojo-sensei can actually make a professional player beat like an ordinary person. Does it really mean that I can do it anyway? I'll always be a strikeout, right?"

Several other guests also began to look forward to a bright future of becoming professional players.

Dr. Arikawa next to him picked up the microphone, and Mi-chan took the opportunity to introduce himself. In short, he gave all kinds of impressive titles.

"I think this student has developed a mental illness due to being beaten by Mr. Hojo."

Others exclaimed: "Mental illness!?"

Dr. Arikawa nodded, picked up a whiteboard and began to write:

"Yes, just as Coach Okamoto said just now, Mr. Hojo's strength is so strong that it has caused ripples in the baseball world all over the world. And how can a high school student like Matsuo bear it? Facing a pitch that even professional players can't beat, his self-confidence, world view and even his outlook on life have all been greatly impacted.

Our human brain has a protective mechanism. When we suffer psychological trauma, we will unconsciously start to dissociate our self-awareness from the current environment to varying degrees. If the intensity of this dissociation reaches a certain level, the conscious level of the brain will block the stimulating memories...

And this Matsuo student obviously automatically generated a set of logic that could save his self-esteem and worldview under the operation of this mechanism, which is what he called the rounding equation. "

The guests listened to the professional explanation, looked at the incomprehensible characters on the whiteboard, and applauded in awe.

"Hahaha, okay, I know that everyone didn't understand it like me, but it doesn't matter, this is not the only victim of Hojo-sensei."

Mi-chan said with a wicked smile:

"Many people may not know that Hojo Sensei is not only an internationally renowned writer, but also a master of kendo. Last month, he defeated a number of well-known swordsmen in the country at the Hokushin Ittoryu Dojo. This rounding theory has been circulated since then."

The TV started playing the off-site interview video again, this time with two men wearing kendo uniforms with mosaics on their faces.

"Sword Saint Ninety-Nine Shinku was defeated by Hojo-kun with one strike, and Beichen's senior brother Daidouji was also defeated with one strike, as was Mr. Nagase. If you count them this way, I was also chopped off by Hojo-kun, so I am now on the same level as the Sword Saint!"

"Yes, yes, and I flew two meters farther than Mr. Daidoji!"

"And I'm still turning 720 degrees in the air! I win in terms of elegance!"

“…”

The camera returned to the studio, and the host and guests all had stunned expressions, obviously shocked by the two men's outrageous remarks.

"As expected, anyone who has fought with Hojo Kyosuke will be captured by him, lose all fighting spirit and dreams, and become a madman, unable to muster the courage again!"

Doctor Arikawa sighed:

"This is the 'one-time opponent'!"

"It's so terrifying." (End of this chapter)
