Diamond no Ace: My Sharingan

The training on the second day went as usual.

Their next opponent had not yet been determined, so the team couldn't arrange any strategies.

They could only train according to their usual routine.

As for the incident regarding the reporter's article, Zhou Hao didn't take it to heart.

He didn't believe that the article written by the reporter would have much impact.

It wasn't until the third day that Zhou Hao gradually noticed something was off.

The fact that only their teammates knew about it didn't significantly affect Zhou Hao's life.

Although the Seidou High School baseball team's performance had not been ideal, having not made it to Koshien for four years, this might not mean much to other teams.

However, for a top-tier powerhouse like Seidou, such a record was undoubtedly embarrassing.

Even so, they still carried the aura of a top-tier powerhouse, which meant that external attention on them had not diminished.

When the players of their team performed well, they would attract the favor of media reporters.

Before Zhou Hao, several seniors from their team had already been mentioned by reporters.

Among them, the most frequently mentioned were their cleanup hitter, Azuma, and the second-string catcher, Kuramochi.

In the reporters' eyes, they were all incredibly brilliant talents...

Their futures were limitless.

Even with Seidou's poor performance in recent years, under their leadership, there was still a significant chance of making it to Koshien.

Even Yoshida and Tanba had received coverage.

It was reported that the current pitching lineup of the Seidou High School baseball team remained their biggest weakness.

Zhou Hao being featured in the newspaper was seen as a common occurrence among the team's players.

There was nothing surprising about it.

Everyone would tease him a bit and then move on.

But the people around Zhou Hao were different.

First was Aunt Chen, who took care of him. She had seen the report somewhere and was chattering away at Zhou Hao during dinner.

"Our little Hao has become a big star in the newspapers! I must tell Mr. and Mrs. this good news."

Hearing Aunt Chen's words, Zhou Hao felt helpless. "Where did you get that title from? Besides, that title doesn't fit. They are Mr. and Mrs., so why can't I be a young master?"

"You little brat..."

Aunt Chen laughed and gave Zhou Hao a light pat, then put down her phone, clasped her hands, and slightly bowed to Zhou Hao.

"Young Master, hello."

After Aunt Chen said this, Zhou Hao's face turned completely red.

"Stop it, Aunt Chen, I was wrong."

It was one thing to read about it in a novel, but to have someone call him that in real life...

Zhou Hao suddenly felt like he had been transported into the role of a second-generation heir from an ancient noble family.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Not only at home, but even in class at school, the way his classmates looked at him had changed.

Zhou Hao felt like he had become a giant panda in a zoo.

Everyone wanted to take a look at him, even wanting to touch him.

There were even heart-shaped love letters folded neatly in his desk.

Although Zhou Hao had received such letters before, the girls in his class were not as open as he had imagined.

This was the first letter he had received since the start of the school year.

With a nervous heart, Zhou Hao opened the love letter and glanced at its contents.

The confession was rather bland, filling three whole pages with various praises.

In summary, it was just about how handsome Zhou Hao was on the field and how much she admired him...

When he saw the signature, Zhou Hao felt his mood plummet like a roller coaster.

A girl who was about 1.4 meters tall, with two freckles on her face, suddenly appeared in his mind.

It wasn't that the girl was bad.

It was just that she was not Zhou Hao's type at all.

He tucked the love letter away and decided to pretend it never happened.

Everyone was a decent person.

As long as Zhou Hao didn't respond, the girl would naturally understand his feelings.

The changes were most evident at home and school.

Then there was the school cafeteria...

When Zhou Hao went to the school cafeteria for lunch, he usually ate at home after evening practice, as it wasn't too late.

The lady serving food was very enthusiastic when she saw Zhou Hao.

When she served him, she even added two extra pieces of meat.

All signs indicated that Zhou Hao had already become famous.

But the most palpable feelings came from the team.

Now that Zhou Hao was in the first team, several players had already been featured in the newspaper.

Everyone could face Zhou Hao's appearance in the newspaper with a calm attitude.

But his first-year teammates were completely different.

Whether it was Kuramochi, who had been promoted to the second team, or the others like Shirakawa and Kawakami, who remained in the third team.

Whenever they saw Zhou Hao, they didn't hide their envy and jealousy.

"I really envy you, man! You've made a name for yourself so quickly."

"Hehe, as expected of Zhou-san."

"I'm going to make it to the first team too, for sure!!"

His teammates were eager and seemed determined to make it to the first team.

Facing these highly motivated teammates, Zhou Hao smiled and encouraged them, "Don't worry, with your strength, you'll definitely make it."

He was speaking the truth.

Although with their current strength, they couldn't enter the first team.

After this summer tournament, the third-year seniors would be leaving the team.

Once they left, there would be plenty of vacancies in the first team.

With Kuramochi and the others' strength, it would be only natural for them to be promoted to the first team.

"You say it so easily, but look at the first-year players. Just one match and they've made a name for themselves. How can we not be anxious? Not just us, but even the second-year seniors."

The second-year players of Seidou High School were considered the weakest recruiting class in recent years.

Aside from Kuramochi, there were hardly any usable players.

"You all better work hard, or the second-year seniors will take your spots."

The first-year players laughed and joked.

They hadn't fallen behind in training with the seniors either.

Zhou Hao quickly adapted to his star life; the feeling of being noticed wherever he went wasn't bad at all.

As time passed, the opponents of Seidou High School's baseball team were finally revealed.

"It's Hachiouji!"

The moment Zhou Hao heard this name, he felt he must have misheard.

It wasn't that he hadn't heard of this name before.

On the contrary, Zhou Hao was not only familiar with it but had also heard it many times.

Among the several baseball fields selected for the West Tokyo tournament, Hachiouji Stadium was one of them.

It was a stadium that could accommodate thousands of spectators, with good facilities and environment.

Seidou's first match was held at Hachiouji Stadium.

"That's right, it's the Hachiouji High School baseball team!"

Hachiouji was not only the name of the stadium but also a prestigious high school.

Unfortunately, they were also the next opponent of the Seidou High School baseball team.
