I teach kendo in Tokyo

July.

The last class at the end of the semester.

After Mr. Tachibana handed the report card to Jinguji Tamamo for distribution, he directly said to Kiryu Kazuma: "Kiryu-kun, you are lucky. Mr. Nakajo who teaches Chinese said that your essay was very good this time, and he endured it. I can’t help but give you two more points.

"You only need these two points to pass."

Kazuma hadn't gotten his report card yet, so he burst out laughing when he heard this.

Teacher Tachibana had a straight face.

Kazuma looked at it and became serious again: "Teacher, don't scare me. Did I fail in history?"

Teacher Tachibana was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled: "No, on the contrary, you did very well in the history test this time. Kiryu, do you know the history of Europe from the 11th to the 13th century very well?"

"Uh, so-so," Kazuma almost laughed from ear to ear, "I just know the history from the Battle of Stamford Bridge to the end of the Middle Ages relatively well. Because during this period, European swordsmanship developed greatly. time."

The last sentence was a joke with Ma.

But Mr. Tachibana was obviously not interested in the truth or falsehood of this statement, but responded with a smile: "Well, interest is indeed the best teacher. Anyway, congratulations, Kiryu-san, you don't have to make up any extra classes during the holidays.

"You can embrace your youth as much as you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew from the window and lifted the classroom curtains.

At this time, Yamada Yoichi suddenly said: "Smell it quickly, this wind brings the smell of summer, the smell of youth and parting!"

Compared with Yamada Yoichi, who is basically lazy, he feels more and more like this guy is like a clown.

No, no, that's an insult to the clown.

Kazuma looked at the flying curtains and suddenly remembered the classic scene in "Love Letter" by Shunji Iwai that he liked very much:

In the empty library, the fluttering white curtains faintly revealed the handsome face of the young man who was reading behind the curtains.

Yes, it's a boy, and a boy from a girl's perspective.

Because the movie "Love Letter" was so beautifully shot, Kazuma was so impressed that when he mentioned the keywords "afternoon in the library and reading room" for a long time, he thought of beautiful boys.

Fortunately, in the end, Kazuma grew up to be a man with normal orientation.

Sure enough, beautiful girls are more suitable for my taste - Kazuma, who was in college, sighed after finally getting rid of the influence of movies.

Now, looking at this familiar and beautiful scene, Kazuma thought of that masterpiece by Iwai Shunji again...

Wait a minute, Shunji Iwai is still playing in the mud right now. If I have a chance, I can plagiarize his masterpiece.

But then Kazuma thought about it, the heroine Nakayama Miho should be only ten years old at this time, right?

While He Ma was thinking wildly, the chairman came over with his report card and patted his desk gently: "Not bad, keep up the good work."

Kazuma looked up and saw the Chairman smiling.

"I will trouble you again in the future." Kazuma said.

"Um."

Teacher Tachibana coughed on the podium: "Okay! The last activities of this semester have been completed. I wish you all a fulfilling summer vacation. There will only be one summer at the age of seventeen, so try not to regret it. get out of class is over!"

After saying this, the teacher didn't wait for the chairman to shout the command, just picked up the things on the table and left.

Chairman: "Starting tomorrow, intensive special training will begin. If you are not good at Chinese language, you will not be able to get into Tokyo University with barely passing grades."

Before he finished speaking, Mikako rushed into the classroom: "Kazuma! Let's go to the beach! I'm going to buy a new swimsuit today!"

Nanjo took Mikako's transcript directly from her hand and looked at it: "You also need special English training. With these scores, you shouldn't be able to get into the English department of Chichi University."

Mikako: "Huh? Well, just going to the beach for two days won't have any impact, right?"

"But playing will make you feel relaxed. We have already been to the festival before." Nanjo felt very similar to the Chairman's tone at this time, "Or is it okay for Mikako not to be an English major?"

"this……"

Chairman: "I think the Kiryu family is quite big. We can organize an intensive camp for exam preparation or something like that."

Mikako immediately changed her face: "Hey, yes, then let's strengthen the stay together!"

Kazuma frowned, always feeling that this intensive stay might kill people.

After all, the chairman is so strict, he will definitely conduct special training.

"Well, let's forget about the intensive camp. I have kendo practice starting tomorrow. After all, the national competition is coming soon. I think it would be good to finish the kendo practice and let everyone go to the library to study together."

The chairman tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Well, that's fine. After all, I don't want to kill anyone."

Kazuma muttered in his heart, Damn, you really want to kill someone?

"Then I'll see you at school tomorrow." Kazuma stood up and started to run, but was caught by the chairman.

"Where do you want to go? The test papers were just handed out and there has been no reflection meeting yet."

——Coming, coming, the devil’s training to kill people is coming!

The chairman took out a thick book of exercises and smashed it on the table: "Wrong question, you have to do a hundred questions of the same type. You are not allowed to go home until you finish it."

Kazuma wailed.

**

In this way, Kazuma spent the first half of July in a mixture of hellish study and reinforcement and heavenly kendo practice.

Jinguji Tamamo is really the legendary "ghost marriage", which means the kind of virtuous wife who will train her husband to be a man like an evil ghost.

In fact, He Ma doesn't understand. Such a good wife can fight in a street by herself as a heroine. Why does she have to train her husband to fight?

Is it really because of the limitations of the times that women can only stay in charge?

So why not destroy this era?

He directly said that Brother Liu was too unreasonable, and then started singing, who said women are inferior to men.

So, Yamato Nadeshiko, no, Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, yes.

In short, half a month was spent in such a fulfilling way. Kazuma felt that both his Chinese language skills and his harmonica playing skills had greatly improved.

Only the level of swordsmanship is stuck a little before level nine, and it just can't be improved.

Since Kazuma's level has been raised to level eight, there is no experience added when fighting Nanjo, and the experience bar has not moved at all.

Kazuma also wanted to go to Hiraji Minoru's dojo to brush up on his experience, but he called and asked, and the dojo said that Master would be busy throughout July and would not show up at the dojo.

Moreover, you must make an appointment in advance to sparring with the master.

Kazuma could only give up.

Kazuma is looking forward to the National Conference more and more. According to Ping Zhongshi, there should be many out-of-standard guys at the National Conference who can gain experience.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the day for the Kendo National Conference is finally approaching.

This year’s All-Japan High School Kendo Competition’s battle for the top star flag will be held at the Prefectural Martial Arts Hall in Akita City.

Yes, it is clearly called the National Conference, which gives people a feeling that this competition will definitely be held in Tokyo, but the competition venue is Akita City, Akita Prefecture. This is also a piece of knowledge that only kendo enthusiasts know.

The day before the conference started, the team from Kitagashi High School had to take a bus to Akita Prefecture, located in the northeastern part of Japan.

A few years ago, when Kitagarashi participated in the national conference, consultant Goro Daimon drove people to Akita City in his RV. Since the vehicle could only carry so many people, he could only go to five main players and be responsible for logistics. club manager.

This year, the Kitagashi High School Kendo Club received sponsorship from the Nanjo Foundation and could rent a bus to go there. Therefore, this was the first time in many years that all members of the Kitagashi High School Kendo Club were dispatched to participate in the national conference.

On the day of departure, Daimon Goro asked everyone to gather at school at eight in the morning.
