I met  the head coach shortly after I came back from my running.  Well , my first impression was that he was a tall black man and was like raichi ( middle aged version) .

He was laughing a lot in a loud voice like raichi.  I was comfortable while talking to him because I was used to eijun and raichi who laughed in a loud voice all the time .

Ken - sir what about my placement.

Chris ( head coach ) - hahaha.. you are really an impatient guy . Hahaha.. good it's full of youth . You see , I just have prepared a small test for you . You have to clear that before talking about placement . Hahahaha ( patting my shoulder)

Ken - ok sir ( aura )

After that I got to know about my test . Its was simple . I just had to pitch a full game with the new recruits . The opponent team was AA team affiliated with Chicago sluggers.  The name of the club was FIRE HITS . Sigh what a simple naming sense but good as it was easy to remember. 

My placement would be  decided after the match.  Well I admit it was a good play by the chris . I guessed that he was an extremely smart man despite his casual demeanor.  It would be a practice match for the fire bats and the level of us new recruits would be displayed easily in a serious match. 

I looked at my temporary teammates and sighed . They were completely scared in the face of opponent team .

Ken - hey you guys , there is no need to remember your names as we are only a temporary team . We just have to play a game sigh . You guys came here to  find your dreams right.  Just show the coaches your skills by playing your best . There is no need for flashy plays , just do what you can to field and score more runs . Base stealing , bunt etc , show them that you are playing to win as coaches already know about your limits.  Just have fun playing with a strong opponent.  You idiots .

Chris- hooo .. interesting. 

Carl - their faces  changed just by some words of Ken,  looks life it's really a good harvest this time.  Haha .. I'm looking forward to this game now .

I then ignored them and match started .

It was our turn to bat first.  As expected everybody had problems to hit the balls so I just decide to boost our morale with a home run . My turn came in the second inning and I hit a home run easily and we started with a lead of 1 run . After that our batters scored many runs with teamwork.  Well , it was expected because I didn't let the opponent pros score a run from me at all the whole game .

I think that everyone in my team played to their best abilities as they were having fun on the field the whole time.  Ma.. but the opponent batters were really strong as they scored 7 hits from me . Well , I had to think and pitch the whole game as the catcher of our team was not that reliable . I am confident that if any catcher with good skills was there , they wouldn't even think about stealing any hits from me .  I just had no prior information of the opponent batters which caused some hits in the first half of the game .

Well ,, the second half was just a show of batting skills for my team as I had remembered the opponent batters habits and bad courses in the first half with the help of my athletic vision . We won the game and the final score was 11 to o .

My achievements were

4 at bats , 4 home runs

9 innings , 0 runs

After the end we cheered while the AA team was scolded by the coaches .

After that I just sat aside and watched the happy expressions of my temporary teammates reminiscing my high school team . After a while chris called me .

Chris- hahaha.. good good game

Ken - thanks sir for the chance ( smirk)

Chris- well Ken ( serious ) to be honest,  I could definitely use in major league straight but let's hear your dreams first . You came far away from home to achieve them right . So be proud of them and tell me honestly

Ken - yes sir ( aura ) . My dream is to become a closer for Chicago sluggers and a home run slugger

Chris - hahahaahaha... I like it . But Ken let me tell you a thing first . Hear it right and dont get offended. 

Ken - sir

Chris - hmm.. you see you are a top class pitcher and slugger but it's not enough for your dream . I know that you must have realised it yourself. 

Ken - yes sir

Chris - good . You see you've got everything.  Ball speed , control , excellent swing and even good fielding skills but you lack one major thing for a major leaguer .

Ken - what's it sir . ( serious)  just tell me and I will extremely hard

Chris - hahahaha..  don't make that scary face now . Well it's my fault though hahaha..  you see you just lack weight and power.  Weight for your pitch and power for a home run slugger.  Hahaha..  simple right ..

Ken - sir ( admiration )

Chris - so I've decided to place you in our AAA team for a year to build a body of major leaguer . Dont worry though I will just assign an exceptional trainer to you for a year.  Hahaha.. the let's talk about your contract and get ready to show the crowd a dream . Hahahah..

Ken - I will follow your advice sir ( admiration)

Chris - by the way Ken

Ken - yes sir

Chris - well.. what's your age actually.  You see our major leaguers are relatively veterans so I just got curious .

Ken - 18 sir .

Chris- ehhhhhhhhhhhhn......

Crowd - .....

Chris - hahahaha..  what a good kid . What a good monster ... hahahaha.. I'm looking forward to see those old bastards faces in a year.  Hahahaha..

After signing the contract with the parent club Chicago sluggers,  I went to my apartment to pack my things and say goodbye to it . After that I was told to come back , meet my trainer and owner of the AAA TEAM .
