Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

When he received the notice from Koji Tamura, Kita Sumire was filming the scenes of "The Grudge".

When he left the scene and listened to Koji Tamura's job invitation from the All-Ken Federation, he was a little speechless.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the little tricks in the notice sent by the All-Ken Federation - since the face of the kendo circle has been lost, why not take advantage of the current popularity to hold a competition of the nature of an exchange meeting and take the opportunity to promote the sport of kendo.

No matter what the final result is.

At least the popularity of promotion is achieved.

And although this time it is openly named as an exchange and promotion competition.

But from a practical point of view, it is likely that it is a trick thought up by the kendo circle.

At least as professional swordsmen in the sport of kendo, they can't always bear the title of "defeated by a 9-year-old boy", right?

What should others think?

Even the previous rank rating is not certain - after Kita Sumire defeated Sakata Yukiji, there was no follow-up to the kendo rank rating.

But Kita Sumire didn't care much.

After all, the kendo rank is just a false name.

It can express strength to a certain extent, but it cannot fully represent strength.

Fortunately, the All-Ken Federation also discovered this work problem that they had forgotten before.

Attached to the official notice was an explanation of the problem of Kita Sumire's kendo rank - even if Kita Sumire did not participate in this kendo exchange meeting, the All-Ken Federation attached a certificate of reward and awarded Kita Sumire the honorary fifth-dan kendo rank.

It must be said that the All-Ken Federation's operation was indeed quite sincere.

Kita Sumire could not find any fault at all.

Therefore, Kita Sumire did not hesitate much and simply asked Tamura Koji to accept the request for this promotional event.

Mainly, Kita Sumire was also very curious.

I wonder what other masters are there in the Japanese kendo circle now besides Sakata Yukiji.

How does it compare with the era of Kita Sumire Sword Saint?

For this reason, Kita Sumire also picked up the bamboo sword that he had not practiced for a long time.

Sakata Yukiji was indeed quite good last time, and the change of moves in the middle did surprise him a little.

It is still a bit tricky to deal with - at least it is much better than the bunch of soldiers of the Jade Dragon Flag. It can barely be considered an elite monster. He should treat it seriously.

With this thought, Bei Chengshi went back and forth between the set of "The Grudge" and the practice room of the AR Sub-service Training Institute.

In this way, day after day passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the "Kendo Exchange Conference" of the All-Japan Kendo Federation.

Probably because it was already autumn.

The weather was quite cool on the day of the Kendo Exhibition Exchange Competition.

Looking around, there was no white cloud in the blue sky above, like a crystal clear glass ball, far and clear.

The pennant logo of the embossed "sword" of the All-Japan Kendo Federation was hung in the venue.

Bei Chengshi walked into the venue wearing a kendo uniform with the dragon logo of the Jade Dragon Flag printed on the side chest, and looked around curiously.

He had only participated in the Jade Dragon Flag competition, and this kind of exchange competition was the first time he participated, so he was naturally curious.

In this Kendo Exchange Conference of the All-Kendo Federation, including Kita Chengshi, a total of 32 people participated.

This does not mean that Kita Chengshi will challenge the other 31 people alone.

That would be too "dirty". If it were to be spread out, many people would point fingers at the noses of the Japanese Kendo circle and scold.

Therefore, in order to make this Kendo Exchange Competition look more formal and fair, and to show that this competition is more for the purpose of "Kendo promotion".

This Kendo Exchange Competition adopts a single-player elimination system, with two points to decide the winner. The 32 people are divided into two groups and play a total of five games.

Whether Kita Chengshi can win and whether he can play all five games smoothly depends on his own strength.

For this reason, three referees were specially invited to the stage, which seemed quite formal.

According to the rules of Kendo competition.

Only when two of the three referees raise the flag to determine the score can it be counted as 1 point, otherwise it does not count.

This is also the important reason why in many Kendo competitions.

Although the two sides are clearly watching each other, they are full of heart, but they cannot get the base.

That is

"Isn't the lineup too luxurious this time?"

Looking at the professional swordsmen kneeling on the light green cushions, Yamashita Jun, a reporter from the Kansai Sports News, put down his camera and couldn't help muttering.

He traveled all the way from Kansai just to watch this battle of "Tokyo Kendo prodigy children fighting many professional players".

Look at the personnel configuration.

It seems that the All-Ken Fencing Federation didn't intend to let Kita Sumire qualify at all.

Shinto-ryu expert Okazaki 7th dan, Yin-ryu master Nishiyama 7th dan

Even Tanimura 7th dan, who practiced Metropolitan Police Department Kendo and participated in the World Championships, was present!

None of the remaining players were vegetarians

The lowest rank was 6th dan.

And they were all potential players who should be able to obtain the 7th dan title as long as they were old enough.

Yamashita Jun was a little unbelievable.

He was one of the witnesses who watched Kita Sumire break through the Jade Dragon Flag step by step, and finally killed 55 people in a row.

I also have a good impression of Kita Chengshi, the kendo genius.

This time, I flew hundreds of miles from Kansai to Tokyo just to see if this kid who once created a miracle can create the "Jade Dragon Flag Miracle" again.

But this time, let alone "miracle", even "miracles" are useless!

The lineup in front of me is so luxurious that it doesn't look like the players who will appear in this kind of exchange competition.

This made Yamashita Jun, a Kansai native, confused and secretly cursed in his heart.

These Kanto people are just stingy!

Isn't it just that Kita Sumire was lucky and took advantage of Sakata's weakness of underestimating his opponent and defeated him by chance?

Do you have to be so serious and make such a scene?

With this player configuration, even if other professional swordsmen with lower levels come here, they can't qualify, let alone Kita Sumire.

Yamashita Jun sighed - these Kanto people just love to quibble!

Yamashita Jun shook his head helplessly on the stage, feeling that he had made a wasted trip.

Except for a few male professional swordsmen, the rest of the players looked at Kita Sumire and became excited.

Although this was just a simple kendo exchange competition, except for Kita Sumire, the players present were full of gold.

And it was not just the miscellaneous newspaper reporters outside the venue.

Even the famous private TV station Tokyo TV came in advance, set up cameras, and prepared to broadcast the entire competition process - this is too rare.

You have to know that Tokyo TV is a large TV station on par with Sunrise, Sakura, Fuji and other TV stations.

Even if they only advance one place.

They can show their faces on TV programs once.

This opportunity can be said to be quite rare.

If they can take advantage of the situation to win the championship, the social attention they can get is unimaginable.

So. Even if it is not glorious to bully a kid like Kita Sumire, no one present can resist the temptation. They all hope that they can draw Kita Sumire's ticket.

Kita Sumire doesn't know how to read minds, so he doesn't know what they are thinking.

But it's unclear.

Kita Sumire can still sense the sight they cast towards him clearly.

"What's going on?"

Feeling the eager gazes coming from all directions, as if they wanted to eat him into their stomachs.

Kita Sumire uttered a "hiss", which was really inexplicable.

You have to know that he just experienced this kind of gaze from Sakata Yukiji a few days ago.

At that time, it was already creepy enough for him.

But who could have thought of it.

It was just over a week later.

This group of professional kendo players actually stared at him with such a clingy look.

What does this mean?

Do you professional kendo players have any quirks?

You stare at a little boy, right?

Kita Sumire was also a little speechless.

It seems that after this time, I still have to avoid interacting with this group of professional kendo players.

The reason is simple - their eyes are really scary.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for one or two minutes and then stopped.

Because the organizer of the other side had already allocated the next specific schedule at this time.

After seeing the specific schedule.

Not only Yamashita Jun shook his head, but even other knowledgeable audiences in the audience couldn't help showing disappointed expressions.

Because Kita Sumire's luck is not ordinary bad!

He actually drew the seventh dan of Hiromi Tamura, who studied kendo in the Metropolitan Police Department, at the beginning of the game.

Hiromi Tamura, that was a player who participated in the kendo championship two years ago and was on the famous kendo magazine "Kendo Japan".

Not to mention that the opponent practices the Metropolitan Police Department Kendo - this is a kendo school that combines many ancient sword techniques and focuses on practical combat.

Hiromi Tanimura himself is also a famous "Kanto Swordsman" of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Therefore, he fights very fiercely and is particularly sharp.

The 7th-dan swordsmen who have had experience with him basically lose more than they win.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the candidate for the winner of this exchange competition.

It's really a pity.

Yamashita Jun frowned, and his heart was helpless to the extreme.

He originally hoped that Kita Sumi could draw the 4 6th-dan players present.

If that were the case.

He thought he could still see Kita Sumi's strength.

But this time Kita Sumi drew the "king bomb" of Hiromi Tanimura.

What a fight!

Seeing Kita Sumi put on the mask and carried the bamboo sword on the field.

Although Yamashita Jun couldn't bear it, he still raised his head and continued to look over.

He traveled hundreds of miles to Tokyo.

He should at least see how Kitasumi performs, right?

Under the gaze of Yamashita Jun.

Kitasumi didn't hesitate at all.

As soon as the salute was over, he stepped forward directly, and actually took the lead in launching an offensive instead of retreating!

He has courage!

Yamashita Jun nodded secretly.

Facing a strong enemy, Kitasumi seemed to be completely unaffected.

Just with this courage, it's no wonder that Kitasumi could create the miracle of 55 consecutive kills.

But unfortunately, Tanimura Hiromi is not like the group of two-dan and three-dan kids on the Jade Dragon Flag. He is a serious kendo seven-dan.

If Kitasumi didn't have a way to defeat the enemy, it would probably end here. Huh?

Yamashita Jun widened his eyes.

Because in his sight, Kitasumi was actually suppressing Tanimura Hiromi!

The red square scarf representing Kitasumi swung!

The bamboo sword in his hand was sent out steadily, seemingly opening and closing, but in fact the angle was tricky.

Even from his spectator's perspective, Kitasumi's bamboo sword attack was quite fierce.

The force was so great that the bamboo sword even made a crisp sound in the air!

Under such an attack.

Tanimura Hiromi could only fall into a passive defensive situation.

Yamashita Jun was stunned.

Because this scene is so similar to the players who were run around by Kita Chengshi in the previous Yulong Flag competition.

"No way?"

Yamashita Jun swallowed his saliva.

You have to know that this time is not Yulong Flag. The players on the stage are not those high school players of Yulong Flag.

Like him, Tanimura Hiromi in the venue was also confused.

Originally, when he saw that Kita Chengshi was drawn, he didn't care at all. He was ready to take two points directly after entering the court and send Kita Chengshi to the bench.

After all, he is different from others and has no habit of bullying children.

But this situation?

Sweat seeped from the corners of his forehead.

The wrist was numb from the shock.

The footsteps kept retreating backwards to relieve the force.

How can this be bullying Kita Chengshi? !

It is clearly Kita Chengshi who is holding him down to bully him!

This scene is too contrasting.

Even Tanimura Hiromi showed an expression of incomprehension.

Kita Chengshi's speed is very fast.

The angle of each knife is quite tricky, making people tired to deal with it.

But if that was all, Hiromi Tanimura could still handle it.

After all, as a seventh-dan kendo player, his attainments in kendo are unquestionable.

But the horror is that after the actual fight, every knife sent by Kita Sumire has a corresponding change of tactics behind it.

Hiromi Tanimura dodges or dissolves Kita Sumire's first attack, but it is useless.

It feels like the previous knife has not yet ended, and the next knife has already hit him.

What kind of weird style is this! ?

Hiromi Tanimura is sweating profusely.

Because it feels that if he is not careful, he will be cut directly by Kita Sumire's bamboo sword and hit on the head - it is simply weird to the extreme!

As for suppressing Kita Sumire by force, directly holding his bamboo sword and pushing him away?

Hiromi Tanimura naturally thought of this.

But the problem is that when he pushed forward, he only felt that he hit a rock.

Not to mention pushing.

He couldn't even shake it.

A 9-year-old child?

Is he as strong as an adult? Even slightly stronger than him?

If it weren't for the fact in front of him.

Tanimura Hiromi thought that this sentence was a joke.

What's more terrible is that Kita Sumire's footsteps are still moving forward and pressing forward!

He has no way to retreat after being at the edge of the field.

If this continues, he will be squeezed out of the field by Kita Sumire.

There is really no way.

Tanimura Hiromi can only roar.

While ducking to avoid Kita Sumire's bamboo sword, he struggled with all his strength to cut Kita Sumire's abdomen horizontally.

However, Kita Sumire seemed to have prepared for his dying counterattack.

The bamboo sword swung out.

Seize the opportunity instantly!

The long shadow of the pale yellow bamboo sword rushed straight to Tanimura Hiromi's face with an elegant posture like cutting off a stream of water.

Tanimura Hiromi didn't have any strength left in his hands, and all of it was used in this counterattack.

He could only watch the bamboo sword cut down sharply.

Then——

Bang! ! !

This is the crisp sound of the bamboo sword hitting the face mask.

At the same time, Hiromi Tanimura was hit on the head by this blow and sat down directly——It was surprisingly similar to the posture of Koji Sakata before.

The referee and the two assistant referees raised the red flag without hesitation at this time, and announced that Kita Sumi's red side scored a point by hitting the face——There was no way, this knife was straight and steady, and it hit Hiromi Tanimura's face mask firmly, and it was impossible to misjudge.

Crash——

The originally quiet venue suddenly became agitated.

The audience looked at each other in surprise.

Obviously, they didn't expect Hiromi Tanimura to lose a point in such an embarrassing posture.

This. Could it be that like Koji Sakata, there is a suspicion of letting the game go?

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense at all.

Yamashita Jun even stood up excitedly, and clapped hard after taking the photo.

——Is Kita Sumi really going to replicate the previous Jade Dragon Flag miracle? !

Well - good night, everyone.
