Chapter 55: Tokyo Metropolitan Junior High School Kendo Award
Kazuko Hirota sat bored in the guest seat, looking at the field in front of him, the two children were wielding bamboo swords, shouting endlessly, crackling around, maybe the two junior high school students felt that they were fighting fiercely, but in the eyes of Kazuko Hirota, if it wasn't for the sake of maintaining politeness, she would be angry.
In order to maintain etiquette, even if she was bored, she still had to concentrate on observing the performance below, although she was not a referee, but later there might be a host who asked her to comment, if she fell asleep while sitting in the guest seat, it would not only be a stain on her, but also a shame with the Heavenly Sword Stream.
Kazuko Hirota is one of the fifteen teachers of the Tentori Divine Sword Stream, as the Tentori Divine Sword Stream with the longest history and the most inherited kendo secret skills, he has almost been the bull of the RB kendo world for nearly a thousand years, and his status is far from being comparable to other kendo schools.
Even in modern society, the samurai class has declined, kendo is no longer a symbol of force, and the social status of the kendo school is not as important as it was in the samurai era, but kendo culture is still an irreplaceable part of RB culture, and the tentori sword stream is still prominent.
Today she had planned to go for a full-body spa to take care of herself.
She has to train hard every day on weekdays, and as the eldest apprentice of Teacher Hui Oshima, she is the representative of Teacher Hui Oshima in the Sword Hero Association, and she also has to deal with various affairs of the Tentori Divine Sword Stream and the Sword Hero Association.
For example, in which city abroad to open a new kendo gym, to assist the Ministry of Culture to the United States to do kendo culture promotion, etc., it can be said that in her hand, no matter what to do, it is much more important than coming here to watch the children peck each other.
In the past, when I encountered this kind of thing, I just sent a serious inner room disciple to come, anyway, in the Heavenly Fetch Divine Sword Stream, it was no problem for any inner room disciple to comment on the kendo performances of these junior high school students.
The reason why I emphasized the need to find a disciple in the inner room who was respectful was mainly because I was afraid that young people would talk nonsense and have no door in their mouths.
The media discipline in modern society is limited, and if you say that one of the swordsmanship has not been practiced at home, the media can extend it to the descendants of the Heavenly Sword and look down on the heirs of other schools.
This time, it was her teacher, Megumi Oshima, who personally ordered her to come and see the Tokyo RB Junior High School Kendo Award.
Why did the teacher tell her like this, she also understood that this time Jian Hao tested, and her heart recommended a fourteen-year-old Jian Hao candidate.
When the application essay was submitted to the Jianhao Club, the teacher was very angry, and slapped the table directly, saying, "The first-class heart has degenerated to the point of taking children out to grandstand, I will personally preside over this assessment to see what they think of Jianhao!'". It was precisely because the teacher lost his temper that he arranged this sword test so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the teacher was slapped in the face on the Jianhao test. Although the candidate for the sword hero was only a fourteen-year-old boy, his swordsmanship was like a ghost, and when the teacher and the other party were fighting, the sword light of the two was like electricity, and he couldn't see it clearly as a bystander.
But I also have some clear spots, at that time, the young man raised his hand and sent out a sword, just like a long rainbow through the sky, a sword across a distance of five meters, that sword light, still recalled, I feel a thrilling beauty.
Recalling the sword of the young man at that time, and then looking at the two players holding the bamboo sword below and competing in a proper manner, Kazuko Hirota only felt that this competition was really ugly, unsightly, and boring, and he had to sit here patiently.
Later, if the host comes to ask her opinion, she will have to rack her brains and think of something nice to say, which is really depressing to think about.
After the end of that sword test, although the teacher and the boy were tied on the surface, the teacher privately admitted that the other party's kendo attainments were still above the teacher.
Kazuko Hirota has always regarded Megumi Oshima as her idol, and feels that only the teacher is the number one master of RB kendo, and this time the teacher calmly admitted defeat in front of her, and the impact on her can be imagined.
For two days in a row, she didn't even feel tasteless when eating, and when she was taking care of the affairs of the genre, she often felt that the plan was boring, the business was unnecessary, and nothing was pleasing to the eye, so she inexplicably vetoed several proposals.
Especially today I have to come to watch a group of children perform, it really makes sense, even if the teacher orders, she can't lift any spirit, this is completely overuse for her, with this time, it is really better to go to the whole body spa, deep maintenance.
She decided that after the competition of the children here was over, she would apply to participate in this year's Martial Soul Duel, and she wanted to use the opponent's blood to refresh herself, otherwise, her current mental state would be too decadent.

"The Kangtian School Park team is entered!" The five players sitting in the preparation room heard the announcement, each tidied up their kendo uniforms, and under the leadership of Aoki Eima, they lined up in a column, stepping on the RB youth song - Wind Zero, walking out of the room and stepping on the battlefield that belonged to them. Yanagi Yuanhe was also among them, falling at the end of the line, and like the other students, he put on a posture with his head held high, and five people lined up to enter the hall to be reviewed by the audience and teachers.
There are a total of 31 teams participating in the junior high school kendo competition in the Tokyo area this time, and Yanagi Motokazu's Yasuda Gakuen has now entered the semi-finals, and until now, Yanagi Motokazu, as a general, has not played much.
As a school-based competition, the competition system is a three-person elimination system, that is, each person has three chances to lose points, and if they lose three points, they will be replaced, and in the previous game, the opponent could only play to Aoki Eima's level at most, so it was not his turn to play.
The team of Yasuda Gakuen is composed of five people, the pioneer is Kinoshita Kojiro, the backbone is the president Aoki Eima, the general is Yanagi Motokazu, and there are two substitutes, one is Suzuki Fuji, and the other is Kawagen Zhao. The last time Yanagi participated in this game was in the first year of junior high school, when he played as a substitute, and until the end, he didn't get a chance to play.
"Brother, come on!" A boy's voice sounded in the audience, such a familiar voice, Liu Shengyuan and don't need to look at it, it must be his younger brother Liu Sheng Mingguang who came to cheer for him, since his younger brother is here, most of his mother is also here.
Looking up, sure enough, not only my brother was sitting in the audience, but even my father, mother, and Sakura were sitting together, and when they saw him looking over, the family waved together. There was a burst of warmth in Yanagi Yuanhe's heart, although he didn't care about this game, but he still cared about the care of his family. He stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously in the direction of his family.

Kazuko Hirota was bored waiting for the following two groups of opponents to play, of course, she still had to make enough face, she joined everyone, with the entrance music for the two teams of students who walked into the venue to applaud warmly, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a person in the entrance team who was a little familiar!
She stopped applauding and rubbed her eyes, it stands to reason that that person shouldn't appear in this kind of competition anyway! Look at the student leading the way in front,Holding a sign of Kangtian School Park in her hand,She quickly picked up the list of participants on the table in front of her,Find the list of participants in Kangtian School Park,There is only one surnamed Liu Sheng,Named Yanagi Yuanhe。
Kazuko Hirota exhaled, it turned out that it wasn't a person, it must be a twin brother or something. Otherwise, if an active swordsman comes to participate in this kind of junior high school kendo competition, if it is known, even the style of the swordsman club will be lowered, but maybe this will be a good seedling. After all, they are twin brothers, so they shouldn't be far apart, right?
"Mr. Hirota, what's wrong with you?" Sitting next to Kazuko Hirota was Hikaru Nagano, the inner disciple of the Beidou Heartflow, who had to be called a teacher to Kazuko Hirota in terms of his status in the kendo world and his personal kendo cultivation.
"It's nothing, I thought I saw an acquaintance just now, it seems that I was mistaken. Kazuko Hirota rubbed her brows: "It seems that I am too tired during this time." ”

The semi-final opponent was another junior high school in Chiyoda Ward, Meiqin Gakuen, which is a traditional kendo school that has produced several famous kendo celebrities, and their kendo club instructor won the ninth place in the RB Kendo Awards.
Before the game,Aoki Eima also deliberately introduced the situation of the famous school park to the team members carefully.,But at that time, Yanagi Yuanhe went to the inside and didn't pay attention to it at all.。
Players from both sides lined up on the field, saluted each other, and then returned to their respective waiting areas.
"This time it's a lost one. In the waiting area of the famous school park,Center Nakano Daishi said dejectedly。
"Yaga, you bastard, you haven't started the game yet, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Taniguchi Keihe, the president of the Kendo Club of the Mingqin School Park, was furious, and he didn't care that this was the competition venue, and reprimanded loudly.
"Attention this student, the kendo competition venue is not allowed to be noisy!" a referee standing nearby warned.
"I'm sorry, teacher. Taniguchi Keihe hurriedly apologized, and did not forget to glare at Nakano Daishi fiercely.
"Boss Yagyu is in the team of the Kangtian Academy!" Nakano Daishi whispered.
"What! Boss Yagyu is on the other side?"
Yanagi Yuan and the middle school circle in this neighborhood have been rumored to be 'demon gods', where do ordinary junior high school students have the courage to stand in front of him?
"Ah,The last one on the opposite side is Boss Liusheng.,Last time Boss Liusheng called someone to go to Kangtian School Park to cheer.,I've seen him with my own eyes.。 That day, almost all the people in the neighborhood who had a little reputation in junior high school went and almost got into a traffic jam. ”
"How else is this going to be fought?"
"What are you afraid of, can Boss Yagyu be the first to play? Let's win one or two games first, and then go back and give an explanation to Mr. Tanaka. ”
"yes, anyway, let's win the next game anyway. ”

Mingqin School Park deserves to be a famous kendo school.,As the pioneer of Kangtian School Park,Kinoshita Kojiro didn't even get a point on the field for the first time.,Directly eliminated.。
Looking at Kojiro Kinoshita who walked back to the rest area of Yasuda School Park in a depressed mood, Aoki Ema patted him the shoulder before putting on his mask and walking into the playing field.
"Yanagi-kun, am I useless?" said Kinoshita Kojiro, sitting on a bench with his hands on his head.
"You're okay, but the other party is really good, it's better than you, it's just that you're unlucky, otherwise you can get a point. Yanagi said casually, Kinoshita Kojiro may be a little nervous, and this time he is not as good as when he usually trains in school.
"Yes, then I'll have to work harder!Thank you, Yanagi-kun," Kojiro was in a slightly better mood as he said this, and looked up at the playing field, where Aoki and Ei really saluted each other and were about to start the game.
The two men of the "Hi" match shouted together and attacked at the same time.
There is a basic skill in RB Kendo called 'Qi Fusion', which refers to the combination of one's breath and power through heavy drinking, resulting in stronger explosive power.
Originally, this was a fairly advanced force technique, involving the mystery of internal organs, but no matter what skill was mastered, it was a superficial kung fu showcase.
Just like Aoki Eima and her opponent Ota Nakaichiro, their so-called qi is just a shout, and nothing else is useful.
RB kendo duels are very fast, and the concept of 'killing your opponent before you get killed' dominates in RB orthodox kendo, so in a match, both sides often attack at the same time, and the winner is determined by who hits the opponent first.
If this is a real sword confrontation, while hacking the opponent to death, most of them will have to be chopped and crippled.
After a few trials, Aoki Ema finally eliminated his opponent Ota with a one-point advantage, but the defects of the girl's poor physical strength were undoubtedly exposed, and even Kinoshita Kojiro who was on the field could see Aoki Ema's violent breathing.
Nakano, the center of Meiqin Gakuen, walked onto the field, and he didn't take advantage of Aoki's sharp respite to propose to start the game immediately, but asked in a low voice: "I said this Aoki-san, why did you bring Boss Yagyu to participate in the kendo competition? This is too foul, right?".
"Huhu——, Yanagi-kun was originally a member of our kendo club, huhu-" Aoki replied with a gasp.
"It's really unlucky!" Nakano Daishi scolded secretly and asked depressedly: "Do you want to rest again, I can help you delay some time." ”
"No, thank you for your kindness, I'm much better. ”
"Try, let's go. The teacher who is the referee announced.
Not surprisingly, Aoki, who had only one point left, quickly lost the game and walked off the field.
However, under the mask, Nakano Daishi, who was the victorious side, had an ugly face than Aoki Eima, who lost the game.
