Kanagawa Taoist College Students

The long-awaited kendo competition finally begins, and the most exciting moment has arrived.

The outside audience is divided into three obvious groups. One group is represented by Sakurano High School students, which is also the largest group. They naturally want to cheer for the kendo club of their school.

One group was represented by the students of Yangkai Academy, wearing all uniforms of Yangkai Academy, and their momentum was not much smaller than that of Sakurano High School.

The last group is the centrists, who are just here to join in the fun, such as the director of a certain university's kendo club.

The game is based on a normal five-a-side, one-on-one match, vanguard versus vanguard, second striker versus second striker... and so on until the general versus the general.

The pioneer who appeared in Sakurano High School was Taro Ogami, and his opponent, the pioneer of Yokai Academy, was introduced as Yasuhiro Shirane.

He is similar in stature to Komi Kawataro, both are over 1.8 meters tall.

The referee Mr. Takahashi came to the court, and the two linesmen Toshiro Fukuoka and Seira Akasaki also took their places.

At Teacher Takahashi's order, the competition officially began.

Komikawa Taro shouted loudly, rushed forward, and slashed straight with his sword, his momentum going forward.

Yasuhiro Shirane appeared to be very patient and not in a hurry to counterattack at all, he blocked with his sword raised.

Komikawa Taro was eager to make a contribution, but he happened to fall into the "trap" set by the opponent. He was accidentally hit in the head.

"Men!" the referee Mr. Takahashi shouted loudly. This is the name of the part hit when the blow is effective. Taro Omikawa and Yasuhiro Shirane returned to the center of the court and made a mid-range stance.

The so-called middle stance is the most basic and important stance in kendo. Hold the handle of the sword with both hands, aim the tip of the sword at the opponent's throat, and maintain a gap of one foot and one sword with the opponent. One step forward can attack the opponent, and one step back can attack the opponent. Avoid the opponent's attacks.

The two of them maintained a mid-range stance, waiting for Teacher Takahashi's penalty.

Teacher Takahashi announced that the hit was effective, and Yasuhiro Shirane had a zanshin after hitting Taro Omigawa, scoring one point.

The game continued to start, and Taro Ogami looked cautious. Next, he must be cautious and go all out, otherwise, whether he is hit again and the opponent gets a point to declare an immediate victory, or he does not get a point at the end of three minutes, it will still happen. lose.

However, the opponent's original strength was a little higher than his, and coupled with his anxiety after allowing the opponent to score a point, he made no achievements and almost caused an effective blow to the opponent.

After three minutes of time expired, he had no points and the game was won by Yasuhiro Shirane.

The students on the other side of Yanghai Academy immediately cheered loudly, shouting Yasuhiro Shirane's name.

The side of Sakurano High School seemed to be silent. After all, the other side had won. As the losing side, they really didn't have the confidence to speak loudly.

After taking off his shirt and bowing to each other, Komikawa Taro came down from the court with a shameful expression on his face. If so many people hadn't been watching, he would have almost knelt down with Naomi Fukuoka: "I'm sorry, Minister, I disappoint you!"

"It doesn't matter, leave it to us later!" Fukuoka Naomi patted his shoulder and consoled him.

Soon, the second game began.

Taketatsu Musashi, the second striker from Sakurano High School, faced off against Kobayashi Tenshi, the second striker from Yokai Academy.

The strength of the two people is roughly the same. In the end, each person made an effective attack and both scored one point. Originally, if it was a single-player competition, there would have been overtime, but because it was a team competition, there was still a game later, so the first In the second match between the second forward and the second forward, Mr. Takahashi announced a hikiwake (tie).

The third game was the backbone versus the backbone.

Ogata Hiroyuki from Sakurano High School versus Yokotani Yusaku from Yokai Academy.

Although Yusaku Yokotani looks more than ten centimeters shorter than Yuyuki Ogata, his strong body makes up for this very well, and the two also fought equally.

In the end, Ogata Yuyuki made the mistake of Ogawa Taro's eagerness for success again, and Yusaku Yokotani seized the opportunity and caused an effective blow, and then Sakurano High School lost another game.

Including the previous win and one draw, they have lost two games in total. According to the best-of-five format, as long as they lose one more game, Sakurano High School will be completely eliminated.

Everyone at Yangkai Academy became excited. They cheered loudly again and called out the name of Yangkai Academy. They also praised Yusaku Yokotani very highly. They have reason to be so happy, because as long as they win one more game, they can win.

On the other hand, Sakurano High School was lifeless, and some students even left early because they felt embarrassed.

Naomi Fukuoka clenched her fists with both hands. Li Xuehao, who was standing next to her, could almost feel the anger and unwillingness in her heart. He couldn't help but touch her with his feet to signal her to calm down.

"Miss Naomi, we still have two games." Li Xuehao reminded in a low voice. Even if we have lost two games, there is no problem. There are still two games after that, which are almost... no, definitely a sure win.

Naomi Fukuoka played against Yoko Seto, and he faced off against Tomoaki Kadowaki. No matter how you look at it, you are sure to win. The final outcome became two wins and a draw for both sides. With the same record, they could only play one more representative match.

As for the representative battle, each side sends a team member to have a final showdown, with a winner determined! The results certainly speak for themselves.

Naomi Fukuoka got his "hint" and seemed to have thought of the final result. She nodded slightly to him and walked onto the field.

In the next fourth game, the vice-general will play against the vice-general.

Naomi Fukuoka from Sakurano High School, and Yoko Seto from Yokai Academy.

Seto Yoko also walked onto the court, facing Naomi Fukuoka from a distance. She looked solemn behind the mask. Naomi Fukuoka, who stood opposite her, was the opponent she must defeat. Not for school, not for winning or losing, but because she must defeat her opponent!

At Teacher Takahashi's order, the game began.

"Ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka~" A series of sounds of bamboo swords intersecting could be heard endlessly. The two of them were attacking with all their strength, almost fighting together. Teacher Takahashi who was the referee next to him almost shouted wakare (separate). When they are separated, the opportunity to decide the outcome appears.

After all, Fukuoka Naomi was superior in skill, and hit Seto Yoko's left wrist with a sword, which was also an effective part of the attack.

"Kote!" Teacher Takahashi shouted loudly.

Naomi Fukuoka and Yoko Seto returned to the center of the field and assumed a mid-range stance.

Seto Yoko's body was trembling slightly, because she knew that she had lost. Even if she was determined to win, her strength was still not as good as the opponent after all. She just gritted her teeth secretly in her heart. No matter what her cousin said this time, she would succeed in becoming a disciple. , no matter what the price is, we won’t hesitate!
