Chapter Eighty-Nine, If the Heart Is Too Heavy, the Hand Holding the Sword Becomes Heavy!
Chiba Haowu was not in a coma for three days and five days as Fang Yan said, and woke up on the night of the accident.
When he opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling, his expression was dull, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.
Kaoru Chiba sat next to Kaoru Chiba and looked at him with beautiful eyes without blinking. His face was calm, and he didn't look particularly happy because of his awakening.
Matsushima Ki and Fujino Saburo glanced at each other, Matsushima Ki made a look, although Fujino Saburo was full of reluctance, he could only walk in front of Chiba Yoshitake, and asked softly: "Chiba Kotake, do you feel better?" β
Chiba didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard the teacher's words.
Saburo Fujino glanced back at Nori Matsushima and continued, "If you feel that there is something uncomfortable in your body, you must tell us in time. We'll get a doctor to come and check it out for you. β
Chiba Yoshitake still didn't answer.
Saburo Fujino walked quickly in front of Matsushima Ki and whispered, "Headmaster, Chiba Yoshitake's condition is not optimisticβit can't be that there is something wrong with his spirit, right?" β
"Give him some time." Matsushima said. She glanced at Kaoru Chiba and said, "Mr. Fujino, let's go out first." β
"It's good." Saburo Fujino said in agreement.
Matsushima Ki patted Kaoru Chiba on the shoulder and said, "Okay Take-san, I'll leave it to you." β
Kaoru Chiba stood up and bowed deeply to Kiri Matsushima.
Matsushima Ji sighed and said, "Don't worry. We'll take care of this. β
The night was deep, and the hallways were empty, and it was eerily quiet.
Saburo Fujino closed the door of the ward and said uncontrollably, "Headmaster, Suzaku is really too bullying. How can teachers participate in competitions between students? Even if the teacher participates, it still makes the students look like this. We must get justice for Chiba Haowu - otherwise, this exchange and inspection of our Wuren Senior High School will be discredited, how can we have the face to go back to see our Wuren colleagues? β
"Okay." Matsushima nodded. "Then it's up to Fujino-sensei to get justice for Takehito."
"Principal Matsushima-" Saburo Fujino looked embarrassed. He is just an ordinary teacher in the delegation, and he is not equal to Suzaku Middle School. Only the head of the delegation, Nori Matsushima, was qualified to negotiate on behalf of Takehito and Suzaku. If he comes forward, his name is not right, and I'm afraid Suzaku won't take him seriously.
Matsushima Ji was in a very bad mood, and he also knew that it was not the time to be angry with his subordinates, so he explained: "I'm afraid this time it's a little troublesome." β
"What's the trouble?" Saburo Fujino was not convinced. However, the pitch of his speech was noticeably lowered. "Fang Yan is Suzaku's teacher, and he can't afford to seriously hurt our Takehito students in front of so many people - yes, let's let Chiba Haowu lie on the bed. They don't apologize to us, give us a satisfactory answer, and compensate us enough to make up for our physical and mental wounds, and we won't leave. If we really can't, we can make a big deal out of it. I want to see if they can withstand social and international pressures. β
"If it were that simple, it would be great." Matsushima shook his head. "Chiba is the first to break the rules, stabbing people in the back - we were held by them. The teacher surnamed Fang is too cunning, I'm afraid they are the ones who refuse to give up. β
"What the headmaster means - not only will they not admit their mistakes, but they will get us in trouble?"
"What do you think of what you know about them?" Matsushima asked rhetorically.
Fujino Saburo thought of Fang Yan's various faces when he got along with him, and nodded with great certainty and said, "They will definitely do this." However, their team members have not been harmed, and what reason have they used to trouble us? It's a fact that everyone knows that our players are injured. β
"How do you know that their team isn't hurt?"
"Chiba Haowu didn't stab him at all, where did he stand well-"
"But he fainted in front of us on the spotβ"
"That's what they didβ" Saburo Fujino couldn't go on. They can deceive themselves, but why can't Suzaku deceive?
Besides, what proof do you have to prove that Suzaku is cheating?
"Reconcile." Matsushima said. "Find a way to reconcile."
"What a humiliation." Saburo Fujino felt another pain in his chest. Ever since they inadvertently walked into Fang Yan's ninth class, his chest had been aching faintly.
"I think the humiliation is yet to come." Matsushima said in a heavy voice. "If it's just our dignity that we're missing, it's a lucky thing for us now."
ββββββ
Kaoru Chiba, Principal Matsushima Kimichi, and Saburo Fujino were still standing in the corridor outside. Chiba Haowu's impulse has pushed the Takehito delegation into a very unfavorable situation, and they are now having a headache about how to solve the aftermath, right?
She didn't deliberately listen to the conversation outside, looked at Chiba Haowu's chapped lips, and said, "You need to drink some water." β
Chiba is good martial arts.
Kaoru Chiba didn't need him to answer, walked over and poured a glass of water, and then fed him spoonful by spoon.
Chiba just swallowed, still without any expression on his face.
"What do you want?" Kaoru Chiba asked softly. "Is it just a victory?"
ββββ
"If your father knows what you have done, he will be ashamed of your actions." Kaoru Chiba said.
Chiba Yoshitake finally reacted, the sadness in his eyes flashed, and then he became angry.
He pointed to the door of the ward and said, "Get out of the room." β
Kaoru Chiba didn't go out.
She poured another spoonful of boiled water into Chiba Haowu's mouth and said, "From childhood to adulthood, the person you admire the most is your father. You never said it, but I could see it in your eyes. β
"You've got the talent and you're working harder than anyone else β you want to catch up with him and even overtake him. No one doubts, even I firmly believe that you can do it. You will become a better swordsman than your father. β
"I don't know swords, I only know tea. However, I guess everything in this world is the same. If you don't wash your hands well, then the tea soup you brew is bound to contain a peculiar smell. It's the same with kendo - if you don't cleanse your heart, then your swordsmanship will no longer be pure. β
"Are you giving me a lesson?" Chiba Haowu said with a sneer. "Lesson to your failed brother? Tell him how much of a failure he had? β
"Some people, in their lifetime, can't reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. For what? Because he was in a hurry. Just like boiling tea, if the water is not boiling, the brewed tea soup is green. If it boils for too long, the brewed tea soup is astringent. Brother, I just wanted to tell you not to do things that are out of place at inappropriate times. β
"You don't understand a swordsman's desire for the highest kendo. You don't understand a swordsman's desire for victory. Chiba Haowu said fiercely. You won't understand. β
"I understand. How could I not understand? Kaoru Chiba's voice was gentle and delicate, as if she would never be in a hurry. I also want to make the best tea in the world, and I want to win - who likes to lose? However, I am willing to wait. I believe I can do it and will do it one day. So, I don't mind giving myself more time. β
"What I'm pursuing is not the same as yours." Chiba Yoshitake said. "I want to win every game. I don't allow myself to fail. β
"But, you're still losingβ" Kaoru Chiba said. "You should know that there are still some gaps between you and your opponents. Even the swordsman named Tang Cheng is not as calm as him, let alone the teacher who stopped you. β
Chiba closed his eyes in pain.
Fang Yan, that devil-like existence.
He was like a giant of infinite strength, and he was just a dwarf, ugly dwarf, and he had no power to fight back in front of him.
"For what?" Chiba Yoshitake's fingers clenched the sheets. Because of the excessive force, the plain white sheets were twisted and deformed, and he scratched a few holes. "What can he do for him? What can he do? β
He really couldn't understand that Fang Yan didn't look much older than him. Why can he have such skills?
Could it be that the Oriental swordsman is really inferior to the Chinese swordsman? Or is it because Huaxia is the origin of martial arts, so any random pull out is a monster that is difficult to resist?
Chiba Haowu was born in a famous kendo family, and he is also a first-class master in the surrounding circle. Everyone who saw him did not hesitate to praise himself, everyone who competed with him said that he was amazing in swordsmanship, except that his father did not praise him, and everyone said that his future was limitless - he was proud, and he was equally anxious.
He knew that his father didn't praise him because he wasn't good enough.
He wants to conquer everyone, including his father.
On this trip to Huaxia, I first met Tang Cheng, an opponent of equal strength, and then met Fang Yan, a superhuman teacher-in the same class, there are two people who can knock him down, so how many masters will exist in the entire Huaxia?
He shuddered at the thought of the answer to this question.
Kaoru Chiba gently stroked Chiba Haowu's frowning eyebrows, wanting to smooth it out a little, and said, "If your heart is too heavy, your hand holding the sword will become heavy - let go of the burden and make yourself a real swordsman." Like your father, earn the respect of all. β
"I don't care if I win the respect of others or notβ" Chiba Yoshitake clutched his aching chest and said, "I must defeat him, only in this way can I wash away the humiliation I received today." β
