I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma already had some experience at this time.

As long as you apply the appropriate force to the apple on your head and let it move with your body, you can keep it from falling.

So Kazuma calmly retreated, and while keeping the distance, he used the bamboo sword in the middle stance to block the sweeping bamboo sword.

Jiro Kishimoto continued his attack and drew his sword again as quickly as possible.

He seemed certain that Kazuma would not be able to continuously receive attacks while also being distracted to ensure that the apples did not fall.

However, Kazuma's body has long been familiar with the blocking movement.

Kazuma usually sparres with opponents of the same caliber as Honami and Seiryu, especially Seiryu. After she joined, Kazuma's usual training intensity increased out of nowhere.

Therefore, Kazuma only relied on instinct to respond to the attack, and his focus was mainly on the apple above his head.

An attack of this magnitude by Jiro Kishimoto would have been counterattacked long ago if Kazuma hadn't been distracted by the apple above his head.

After Kazuma took the tenth sword, Kishimoto Jiro temporarily stopped attacking and distanced himself, seemingly wanting to think of new countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, he said directly to the referee: "I want to check the apple on Kiryu's head!"

The referee frowned slightly, but still agreed to the request: "The game is suspended. Kiryu-san, check the apple for Kishimoto-san."

Kazuma put down his bamboo sword and took a step forward.

Kishimoto took the apple and looked at it over and over.

Kazuma was still teasing him: "Have you found the glue? How about I ask someone to apply some glue now?"

Jiro Kishimoto glared at Kazuma, and then said to the referee: "I want to check his head! The apple has not moved during such a fierce attack and defense just now. There must be glue on the top of his head!"

Kazuma shrugged: "No problem, let's check."

After saying that, he lowered his head and pointed the Tianling Gai at Kishimoto Jiro: "Come on, check it out!"

Jiro Kishimoto was not polite. He came up and grabbed Kazuma's head and looked at the top of his head carefully.

After a few seconds, Jiro Kishimoto let go.

Kazuma raised his head, looked at the other party's stinky face, and grinned: "I understand your confusion. I never thought that beating three of your subordinates would still get you the top of the apple."

With a stinking face, Jiro Kishimoto returned the apple to Kazuma and returned to the starting line without saying a word.

Kazuma steps back behind his starting line and puts the apple over his head again.

Next he decided to take the initiative and attack.

Because of Apple, the attack speed will probably be much slower than usual. A more reasonable approach is to consolidate the defense and look for opportunities to cut off.

Kazuma decided to give it a try.

After the referee gave the start command, Kazuma stepped forward and chose a very straight sword path to attack the opposite side.

At the same time as the collision of bamboo swords sounded, the opponent directly turned his wrist to press Kazuma's bamboo sword down.

Kazuma used a sword flower with his backhand to shake off the opponent's sword, and then, in conjunction with the side-to-front step, he swung the sword horizontally.

The opponent retreated very quickly, but was still swept away by the bamboo sword.

One of the three referees raised the flag, but the referee remained unmoved.

It seems that the hit was not fair enough, so the referee did not think it was an effective breakthrough.

Kazuma did not step forward to attack again.

As a result, he forgot to move his head to control the apple this time. Suddenly he felt that the apple was about to fall, and he was slightly distracted while swinging the knife.

Jiro Kishimoto immediately showed a "succeeded" expression, dodged Kazuma's attack, and counterattacked at the same time.

However, Kazuma's distraction not only made Kazuma's sword draw slower, but also shortened Kazuma's stride. As a result, Kishimoto Jiro's attack only swept across the front of Kazuma's armor.

Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief.

He feels that he is more accustomed to Apple's existence.

——Just treat the apple as a part of your body.

It was like a tumor suddenly growing on my head.

The referee gave the reset command, and the horse returned to the starting line, and straightened the apple on his head.

He felt like he could try to launch a faster attack.

The referee ordered the game to resume, but as soon as he finished speaking, Kazuma launched an attack.

**

Boss Tanzhoulou laughed: "I won."

"Well, even though I don't practice kendo, I can tell that Kiryu-kun is already used to apples, and he's getting more and more used to them. It's really terrifying adaptability."

Miss Onite showed an expression of appreciation: "As expected of Mr. Shangquan, he is someone whom Mr. Shangquan values ​​​​up."

"The guidance of the Sword Master?" Tanzhoulou Boss was speechless, "It's really enviable."

When the words fell, the three referees in the field raised their flags together, and the chief referee loudly announced: "Kazuma Kiryu, one book!"

Kiryu's opponent Jiro Kishimoto shouted: "Impossible! There's something fishy about his apple! How is it possible that it doesn't fall off!"

The referee looked helpless: "You can check the apple until you are satisfied."

Jiro Kishimoto didn't wait for Kazuma's consent. He stepped forward and took off the apple from Kazuma's head and observed it carefully.

Dr. Tan Zhoulou suddenly shouted loudly: "Students of Shengying High School, what you are doing now is ugly!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone watching the battle echoed in unison: "Yes, yes!"

"If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"

"They are fighting you with an apple! If you ask me, you should let the other party take away the apple and have a fair and upright fight!"

"That's right! Being beaten with an apple on your head will make our high school group lose all face to you!"

In the midst of the excitement, Jiro Kishimoto could only stop looking for trouble, return the apple to Kazuma, and return to his starting line.

Gui Ting glanced at Tan Zhoulou with a surprised look on his face, and whispered, "I never thought you would stand up for a Tokyo guy?"

"What are you talking about? Gaifang High School is our neighbor's school. Jiuzhou people are unreasonable. What's wrong with me venting my anger on my neighbor?" Tan Zhoulou responded.

Onitiya laughed: "Just tell the truth and you appreciate Kiryu and Ma. Why don't you just make excuses like that?"

"Huh, I'm from Kansai. Even if I admire a Tokyo guy, I can't say it directly."

When the words fell, the referee loudly announced: "The second trial begins!"

**

At this time, Kazuma can of course follow the same approach as before, no matter how much he thrusts his teeth towards him and knocks his opponent away.

In this way, if you lose an apple, it counts as one, and your opponent loses two apples.

But the problem is that the tooth protrusion is too powerful. If Jiro Kishimoto falls to the ground and plays bad, he may be awarded a flagrant foul.

Moreover, Kazuma really wanted to try what he could do under the unfavorable conditions of the apple above his head.

He had just increased his speed to 70% of his usual speed.

Maybe it can be faster.

Kazuma made up his mind and decided to continue the attack.

At this time, Kazuma suddenly discovered that in addition to the artificial entry with the same kendo level and color block on his opponent's head, there was also a limited-time entry.

despair

--I go? I crushed him with an apple, but he became desperate?

Reasonable.

He Ma took a step forward, and before he could draw his sword, the opponent was about to raise his sword to block, but he reacted a moment before taking action and stopped.

To outsiders, Jiro Kishimoto's bamboo sword shook a little.

Kazuma took another step forward, and Kishimoto Jiro retreated directly.

In competitive kendo competitions, you are encouraged to step forward and fight with swords. If you step back as soon as others advance, it will give a bad impression to the referee, which should be avoided normally.

Even if you step forward at the same time and then cross the bamboo knives to fight for body shape and stabilize the lower plate, it is better than retreating.

——Have you lost your ability to judge due to despair?

Kazuma quickened his pace.

Now because there is an apple on the top of the head, Kazuma needs to keep the body axis vertical when moving forward, so the previous assault method of lowering the center of gravity and leaning forward greatly cannot be used with Kazuma.

He could only maintain a very upright mid-section posture while flipping quickly with his feet.

But as long as the speed increases, it will look very oppressive.

Jiro Kishimoto seemed to have been completely suppressed by Kazuma's momentum. He took two steps back and had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward to fight.

Kazuma aimed at his knife-holding hand and drew the knife, and the bamboo knife hit his gauntlet with a click.

The blow was so powerful that Jiro Kishimoto screamed in pain, and the bamboo knife came out from his hand and fell to the ground.

When the bamboo knife fell to the ground, Kazuma suddenly felt that the apple above his head was about to fall. He simply tilted his head and let the apple roll down, and caught it firmly in his hand.

The referee held the flag high: "Both teams lost in a straight line, and the changed team won!"

When the words fell, there was thunderous applause.

"Awesome! Apple Swordsman!"

No need to ask, Mikako shouted this voice.

Kazuma took off his mask amidst the cheers of the crowd, took a bite of the apple in his hand, and looked at the scoreboard, only to find that Genjito Kawahito, who was sitting next to the scoreboard, had already left.

It's such a pity that I couldn't "report the good news" to Sang, the president of the West Japan Kendo Association, right away!

Just as Kazuma was feeling regretful, Mikako ran over and gave him a solid bear hug.

"He Ma Ma! I want an apple too!"

Kazuma pushed back the apple he had taken two bites of, and Mikako immediately bit it down and broke off a large piece with his teeth and jaws.

Seiryu came over and kicked Mikako in the calf: "You just know how to eat! I don't know if you are here to congratulate Kazuma on his victory or to eat!"

"Can't I eat and congratulate Kazuma on his victory?" Mikako asked back.

Kazuma: "I would be more grateful to you if you could stop hanging it around my neck when you congratulate your victory."

"This is a benefit, a benefit!"

"It's very hot," Kazuma said.

Mikako immediately let go of Kazuma's neck: "Sorry, I forgot. Then, Kazuma, do you want some water?"

"You have?"

"Honami has it!" Mikako said with a smile.

Kazuma shook his head, took the water from Honami, drank it and drank it.

However, one thing is that thanks to the little spell Tamamo left just now, Kazuma was not as hot as before this time, and he sweated less than before.

Kazuma glanced at Tamamo and thanked her with his eyes.

Tamamo nodded.

Komori Shanrei also came forward and held Kazuma's hand directly: "Thank you so much. I really didn't expect you to win with an apple on your head."

Kazuma smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. The main reason is that the enemies are ridiculously weak. I didn't expect them to be so weak."

Kazuma said this very loudly so that he could be heard by the kendo club of Seizakura Private High School who had already returned to the players' bench to pack their bags.

Komori Shanrei smiled and said: "You must be ridiculously strong!"

"No, I think that if Kenichi is not fouled, there is no problem in beating them. These people have evil intentions and will never achieve anything in the way of the sword."

At this time, a staff member with a camera came to him: "Kiriyu-san, in order to commemorate this victory that has been recorded in the history of the Jade Dragon Banner, please do a victory pose!"

Kazuma nodded: "Okay."

He was just going to make a casual V gesture to deal with it.

But Mikako rushed out, forced her way into his arms and said, "Give me a kiss of victory!"

"Come on, stop making trouble!" Kazuma flicked Mikako's forehead.

As a result, the staff pressed the shutter the moment he flicked his forehead.

The flashbulb flashed, and this scene was left in the history of Jade Dragon Banner.

Later, the West Japan Kendo Association developed a very large photo, put it in a beautiful frame, and sent it to Kiryu Dojo.

In the photo, Kazuma and Mikako are each holding a piece of apple, with smiles on their faces, which indeed fully conveys the joy of victory.

The key prop Apple also appeared on the scene, and it happened to be in the most conspicuous position.

The only problem is that if this photo is placed in the dojo, people who don't know the real situation will think that Mikako is the mistress of the dojo.

Mikako wins again.

Come back to the present moment.

Just as the staff member holding the camera left, the staff member holding the schedule came forward and asked, "Will Kazuma Kiryu continue to participate in the high school competition?"

Just as Kazuma was about to answer, an old and majestic voice sounded from behind him: "No, Kiryu's schedule ends here."

When Kazuma turned his head, he saw an old man with a vague impression. He seemed to be the coach of the kendo club of Gaikata High School.

The old man looked at Kazuma with a smile on his face: "Although I really want you to continue to compete for our high school, but that would be too unfair to the players from other schools. Our opponents in the next game will see you in our team , I’ll probably surrender directly.”

After the old man finished speaking, the deputy director of the kendo department of Gaifang High School next to him spread his hands: "The main reason is that I was defeated by someone with an apple on my head. It's so embarrassing. I might even lose the courage to practice kendo from now on."

Kazuma raised his eyebrows, thinking that the general of Sei Sakura High School was probably such an unlucky guy.

However, he took the wrong path first and colluded with Welfare Technology, so he can only bring the blame on himself.

The staff member picked up the pen and confirmed again with the coach of Kaigata High School: "Are you sure that Kiryu player will no longer participate in the competition? This cannot be changed after this."

"I'm sure." The old man replied solemnly, "At the same time, we request to change the lineup. Except for the vanguard, the order of appearance of others will be moved backward, and the substitute players will be used as the new deputy generals."

The deputy minister who changed sides sighed: "Oh, I will be the general in the next game. It's so stressful."

Kazuma patted his shoulder: "You should think of it this way. Kenichi Konma is not around, and it's finally your time to show off."

"It's true that you said so. Then if Komoriyama-san can promise me that if we win the championship, we will go to the movies with me..."

"Don't even think about it." Komori Shanrei responded with a smile.

The former deputy general sighed: "I knew it."

Kazuma laughed happily with everyone, but his gentle ears suddenly heard someone in the stands getting angry.

**

Akira Tosai, the representative director of Welfare Technology Kyushu Branch, was furious in the stands.

"What's going on! Are those high school students useless? They can't beat anyone else's apple! Who will buy our services now!"

Tosaiko slapped the railing of the stand hard: "Tell me! Who will come to buy this service! This result is simply disastrous for the business that the head office is optimistic about!"

"President," Secretary Xiaoxi pushed up his glasses, "This is a public place, isn't it good to talk about these things?"

Tosaiko took a deep breath.

Then he glared at Kiryu Kazuma fiercely: "Damn it, I know why the head office regards him as a thorn in the side. I used to think that it was just because the head office couldn't win over him, so I became angry.

"Is 'that thing' ready?"

Xiaoxi looked around, obviously considering that this was a public place, but Tosai Akira turned around and glared at him, and he could only answer truthfully: "Ready. In fact, the Third Development Department reported that the effect was unexpected good."

"Very good!" Tosai Akira held the guardrail with both hands and stared at Kiryu Kazuma in the arena with a ferocious smile, "Wait, let me know how good you are!"
