Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 301 We must win! And we must win beautifully! (4000 words)

As a member of the Kendo Club of Jingwen High School and the flag-catcher in the Jade Dragon Flag battle, Minoru Kitazumi’s loyal ‘Eagle Dog’, Masazumi Ishikawa was warmly treated by his classmates in the Kendo Club after the Jade Dragon Flag competition.

Some juniors would often come over curiously and ask him about the grand occasion of the Jade Dragon Banner at that time.

Young people.

It is easy to get carried away after receiving honors.

The same goes for Ishikawa Masaki.

He encouraged these juniors.

Some newcomers who have just come into contact with kendo are curious about how many people he has killed as a member of the championship team.

So I often take the time to come and ask.

Seeing the admiring expression on the other person's face, Ishikawa Masaru touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

How many people did God kill?

He didn't even get on the court!

Kitaki Minoru cut through the Jade Dragon Flag by himself! There were 55 contestants, but Kitami Minori didn’t leave any of them behind.

And speaking of Kitaki Minoru

"Goto, how long has it been since Boss Beicheng came?"

A copy of "Tokyo New Sports News" was brought from outside, and Ishikawa was taking off his shoes while entering the kendo club.

‘Boss of Beicheng’, this is the title that the male players of Jingwen Kendo Club unanimously gave to Minoru Beicheng after the Jade Dragon Flag competition.

There was no way, Beicheng Minoru was indeed too strong, he could penetrate the entire Jade Dragon Flag by himself, and he was completely worthy of the title of 'boss'.

"Ah? I don't know. It seems that there has been a month since then, right? I haven't seen him much since the Jade Dragon Banner passed."

When mentioning Kitazumi Minoru, Goto Heihachi on the other side also sighed.

Although it was only during the Jade Dragon Banner, everything Beicheng did was firmly etched in his mind, making it difficult to forget.

Then his voice stopped.

"I guess he is somewhere doing something particularly powerful."

"Too."

Ishikawa Masaki nodded his head. He quite agreed with Goto Heihachi's words.

After all, it was Kitazumi Minoru, who must be doing something unimaginable outside.

Thinking this, Ishikawa Masaki lowered his head and opened the "Tokyo New Sports News" in his hand.

This newspaper was ordered by Kitagawa Hanako from outside using department funds.

In addition to judo and sumo wrestling, there is also a lot of news about the kendo circle every day.

For example, what kind of kendo competition is being held in a certain county, province, or prefecture? Or, let's say who is newly promoted to the seventh degree of kendo at such a young age, which is amazing news.

Ishikawa Masako was somewhat interested in this, so he would borrow it from Kitagawa Hanako to look at.

He lowered his head slightly and glanced away.

Then

Ishikawa Masaki's mouth opened wide, and his face was filled with an incredible look.

"Huh? What's wrong? Ishikawa?"

Sensing Ishikawa Masaki's expression, Goto Heihachi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Perhaps his words had an effect. Ishikawa Masazhan came back to his senses, but he still pointed at the newspaper in his hand with a suspicious look on his face:

"Well, this news says that Boss Beicheng defeated Koji Sakata, a master of ancient swordsmanship who was newly promoted to seventh degree last year."

"Ah? Ishikawa, are you serious? Even if Boss Beicheng is really strong, don't make such a bad joke."

Goto Heihachi squinted at Ishikawa Masato, wondering if this kid had been praised too much recently and his brain was out of whack.

You know that is Sakata Koji! Even he knows the master of Katori Shinto style! At the age of 37 this year, he has already reached the seventh degree of kendo. He is known as the youngest and fastest male professional swordsman to reach the seventh degree of kendo!

Even though Kitami Minoru is quite strong, you have to compare him with seventh-dan professional players.

That’s still nonsense!

However, Ishikawa Masaki didn't mean to let him go, and directly threw the newspaper in his face at his face.

"If you don't believe it, just see for yourself."

".Really or falsely?"

Goto Heihachi glanced at Ishikawa Masaki inexplicably and looked down.

then

He also fell silent.

Because taking up a huge space in the newspaper is a photo.

The photo was very simple, so simple that he could clearly see the relationship between the characters on it at a glance.

Koji Sakata, whom he had praised before, sat down on the ground in embarrassment.

Opposite Sakata Koji was Kitaki Minoru, who was holding a bamboo sword and looking calm and composed.

Every movement and silence show the difference.

Gudu——

Goto Heihachi swallowed, and looked at each other with Ishikawa Masaki on the other side, their eyes a little dull.

no?

Although I know what Boss Beicheng may be doing.

But a 9-year-old kid beat a seventh-dan kendo player?

Isn't this too exaggerated?

In fact, the report on Kitami Minori's victory over Sakata Koji was not just a sports newspaper, "Tokyo New Sports News".

In addition to this newspaper, there were also three or four other quite famous newspapers in the capital that reported on it.

Without exception - these news about Kitami Minori and Sakata Koji all made the headlines.

There are basically videos on the Internet of Kitami Minoru and Sakata Koji coaching battles.

Under such huge traffic.

The National Sword Federation's promotion of the sport of kendo has naturally achieved unprecedented success!

Its response has a great influence among Japanese teenagers.

Many young people who watched the live broadcast were interviewed afterwards. 67% expressed some interest in kendo, 10% said they would give it a try if they had the opportunity, and the remaining 13% maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

This ratio is actually quite scary.

The side also shows that it is a very wise thing to invite Kitazumi to come and promote this time.

That’s how to say it.

The publicity has achieved considerable results.

But in exchange, it turned out to be a blow to the entire Japanese kendo circle.

You must know that in Japan, kendo, as a martial art, has always been as famous as judo, sumo, etc.

Different from ordinary competitive athletes.

Male professional swordsmen always pay attention to their aura in front of the camera, which mainly reflects the consistency of the aura, sword and body in 'kendo', giving people a feeling of calm and self-power.

However, after this publicity event of the National Sword Federation.

The entire Japanese kendo circle fell silent and lost its power at all.

The main thing is what exactly is this promotional activity about?

Koji Sakata was beaten so hard that he fell to the ground. The bamboo knife in his hand was blocked and his faceplate was a little crooked.

Just looking at the photos of this scene makes me extremely embarrassed.

You must know that as a seventh-dan professional swordsman, Sakata Koji promotes on behalf of their kendo circle.

There is such news outside now.

He wasn't the only one who lost face - Rong Yuyan was involved in the entire Japanese kendo circle.

Of course, if you just lose to Kitazumi Minoru.

In fact, there is still room for redemption.

For example, the main person in charge of the All Sword Federation announced to the outside world that Koji Sakata was actually merciful. He actually let Kitumi do this scene deliberately for the publicity effect of this kendo exhibition.

As long as you say this, most people will be able to express their understanding, and maybe they will sympathize with Sakata Koji. In order to spread the sport of kendo, he actually has to humiliate himself and cooperate with the organizer to perform such a show. He is really a hero.

But the problem lies in what Sakata Koji said before the game, ‘If I lose, it’s not impossible to become a disciple of Kitazumi-kun. ’ It’s up there.

This sentence is simply a deep hole.

Not only was Sakata Koji himself buried in it, but the entire kendo circle was also 'buried' in it.

Several newspapers were obsessed with this issue and repeatedly asked Sakata Koji if he had any intention of fulfilling his agreement. If you want to fulfill your promise, when will the apprenticeship ceremony begin? They can also conduct interviews at close range.

When he asked this question, he almost asked Hong Wen, the person in charge of the kendo circle.

I was so angry that several highly respected 8th-dan kendo gentlemen in the kendo circle pointed at Sakata Koji and called him - bastard! What are you thinking? It's just a tutorial match, why would you, a professional player, lose?

The key is that you forget it if you lose, but you still lose to a 9-year-old child?

Even taking a step back, losing to a 9-year-old child is barely excusable.

But what do you think? Do you have to dig a hole so deep that you can’t even fill it?

It's better now.

He opened and closed his mouth, dug and buried it himself, and even erected a tombstone for himself! How do you want us to smooth things over for you?

Koji Sakata was speechless, and he felt aggrieved and a little angry at the same time - he could be said to be the biggest victim this time.

He lost to a 9-year-old boy at the seventh level of Kendo, and he lost so miserably. In ancient times, this would have been recorded in historical documents.

God knows that Beicheng Minoru's strength can be so terrifying?

But the problem is——

"I was at my best."

Being accused and unable to do anything, Sakata Koji had no choice but to explain.

Yes, he was at his best.

Regardless of the angle of the shot or the subsequent changes of moves, it has been reached to the limit.

But he still lost. Beicheng Minoru's strength was frightening, unlike a 9-year-old child. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

But as the saying goes, ‘anything is an excuse if you lose’.

Even if Sakata Koji explained.

The professional swordsmen from Kanto who were present just thought that Koji Sakata was still making excuses.

After all, the opponent is just a 9-year-old child. Even if the speed shown in the video is quite good, the strength is still weaker than that of an adult.

No matter how you think about it, Sakata Koji should not lose.

They discussed in low voices, looking at Koji Sakata from time to time with quite suspicious eyes - they felt that Koji Sakata had intentionally released the entire Pacific Ocean for Kitacumi.

I felt their gazes and listened to their rustling discussions.

Koji Sakata, who was already furious, simply gave up - OK! good! Since you don't want to help wipe your butt, then I don't care. At worst, I will become a disciple of Kitazumi! What a big deal! Anyway, it’s not like I’m the only one being embarrassed!

He was so arrogant that he frightened his colleagues on the other side.

Koji Sakata can be shameless, but they still have to rely on the kendo profession to make ends meet.

If there is really news that the 7th Dan of Kendo is learning from Ziye.

So how do the outside world view these professional swordsmen?

Not to mention there are only a few professional swordsmen with a higher rank than Sakata Koji in the entire kendo circle, and they are at the same level at most.

Koji Sakata went to call Minoru Kitazumi "Master Kitazumi".

So what should they call Kitami Minoru? No complete chaos?

They had no choice but to temporarily stop criticizing Koji Sakata and discuss the next steps to deal with it.

After all, this matter has developed so far.

There are many major sports newspapers and online media behind the scenes.

It is not just Sakata Koji's business.

They discussed it repeatedly.

Finally, they decided that since the face of the kendo community was lost in the coaching competition, they should win it back from the coaching competition.

After all, whether it is a paper newspaper or an online media, they all talked about Sakata Koji's loss to Kita Sumire, and their words were full of sighs for the kendo community - they thought that the kendo community had been conservative for so many years and was no longer good, and actually lost to a nine-year-old child.

So.

Although it is not glorious, we still have to win a point first, and then take the right to speak and criticize the unscrupulous media.

Anyway, the opponent is just a child. As long as they don't underestimate the enemy like Sakata Koji, there is no problem in defeating the opponent.

And if you think about it the other way around, this incident is actually an opportunity.

As mentioned before.

Although the sport of kendo is well-known in China, it is still unlikely to be comparable to sports such as baseball and football.

But this time.

Both the social attention and the promotion efforts are said to be full!

If this opportunity can be seized, it will be a perfect promotion opportunity for the sport of kendo.

So they not only have to beat Kitasumi, but also win beautifully, and strive to win a reunion ending of "everyone makes dumplings together".

This will not only solve the problem of Sakata Yukiji's "apprenticeship", but also win the attention of many people outside the circle-it's really good.

Sakata Yukiji sat next to them, watching them discuss repeatedly and enthusiastically, and even decided what to do after winning Kitasumi.

In response, Sakata Yukiji just snorted and didn't tell them about Kitasumi's abnormality.

This group of bastards, they are good at fighting among themselves!

You all think you can beat that evil boy, right?

Then go and try it!

I want to see what good you can get.

Sakata Yukiji doesn't want to embarrass himself alone, and he hopes that Kitasumi, the "water ghost", can drag more people into the water.

When there are more losers.

Whether it is the kendo circle or the journalists and media, they should be able to discover one thing.

That is, it is not that Sakata Koji is too weak! It is that Kita Sumire is really strong!

It is also in such a mixed thought and discussion.

The notice from the official kendo organization of the All-Kendo Federation has also been released.

The content of the notice is very simple.

The general meaning is that the last kendo exhibition conference was quite successful, and the sport of kendo was well promoted, so this time, the All-Kendo Federation hopes that Kita Sumire can participate in the kendo exhibition exchange competition organized by them.

As soon as this notice came out.

It was like throwing rotten meat into a shark tank.

Not only did it attract reporters from the Kendo Sports Newspaper, but even reporters from major family entertainment newspapers in the industry went crazy-

Why is it Kita Sumire again?

Is this child born with popularity and traffic?
