Dodge Makino's attack beautifully, then bully forward, and pick Makino's sword away with a sword - the action is done in one go.

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with Sakakiwara Ichito-ryu Dragon's Tail]

[Sakakiwara Ichito-ryu Level: 5 Stages (280/900)]

One of the main reasons for the big competition in the museum is to make it easier for the half-guards to see how the swordsmanship of the disciples is.

Therefore, in each year's big competition in the hall, the half-guards will carefully watch every competition of the disciples.

It was the same just now - after the competition between Ogata and Makino began, the half-guards watched the competition between the two intently.

After seeing Ogata's beautiful reflexes and speed dodging Makino's attack, Hanbei's pupils unconsciously shrank slightly.

Then, with a serious gaze, he cast a look on Ogata's body......

……

……

Although he had already guessed that his chances of victory were slim, after being killed by Ogata in seconds, a faint look of loss still appeared on Makino's face.

But Makino is also a frank person.

After losing to Ogata, he accepted his defeat with openness, saluted each other with Ogata, and then retreated to the edge of the dojo and gave up the venue to the next pair of brothers.

……

……

The pace of the sword competition is already quite fast.

Whether it's a fight between a master or a master, or a fight between a novice and a novice, the winner can be quickly determined.

Basically, every match lasted less than a few minutes before it ended.

So soon, it was Ogata's turn for a second match.

Ogata's opponent in the second competition is a senior brother who is not familiar with him.

Although he didn't have a very familiar relationship with this senior brother, Ogata had heard that his senior brother's strength was still among the best among the disciples of the Sakakibara Sword Hall.

It's a pity that this senior brother, whose strength is quite good among the disciples of the Sakakibara Sword Pavilion, is also very clear in Ogata's eyes.

Ogata couldn't help but sigh - the strong reflex nerve is too advantageous in battle.

As long as you can see through and keep up with your opponent's movements, it's hard to lose.

Ogata dodged the brother's attack perfectly, and then beautifully put his sword on the brother's neck......

……

……

At a time when Ogata's agility and reflex are both at 8, his brothers and sisters are all vulnerable - a bit of a hard thing to say, but it's true.

Ogata played 6 consecutive competitions with a momentum and won against 6 brothers led by Makino.

After defeating the 6 brothers led by Makino, Ogata gained a total of 140 XP points for his personal level, and Sakakihara Ichito-ryu gained a total of 220 XP points.

After winning six in a row, Ogata finally had his final match of the day.

At the same time, it is also the last competition of this year's big competition in the museum.

The person who advanced to the "finals" with Ogata and competed with Ogata for the top position in the hall competition this time was not expected by anyone - it was Mikami.

Before the big competition in the hall began, the disciples of the Sakakibara Sword Pavilion had privately discussed which two people would compete in the final competition.

The people with the highest voices are Ogata and Mikami.

Mikami is the one who has won the top position of their Sakakibara Sword Pavilion for two consecutive sessions in the Sakakibara Sword Pavilion.

And Ogata has suddenly risen to prominence recently.,A while ago, he had a private competition with the Toyama of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion.,And it was a tie with that Toyama.。

Most people believe that unless something happens, the people who will advance to the "final battle" of the big competition in the hall this time must be Ogata and Mikami.

And Ogata and Mikami did not disappoint the expectations of the disciples - they both defeated all of their opponents and became each other's final opponents.

Ogata moved his right wrist, which was holding the sword, while looking at Mikami on the other side with a calm expression.

Compared to Ogata's flat face, Mikami's expression was undoubtedly much more serious.

Mikami usually has a warm smile on his face, but it's rare to have a serious face like now.

……

……

"Ogata-kun."

Mikami, who originally had a serious face, had a little more smile on his face at this time because the corner of his left mouth was slightly upturned.

"Before the big competition in the hall started, I vaguely guessed that you are my biggest opponent in this year's big competition in the museum."

"Concentrate, Ogata-kun."

"This year's big competition in the hall - I want to get the top position no matter what!"

"I'm going to take the chief position again, and then I'm going to have another god sacrifice competition!"

Hearing Mikami's words, Ogata raised his eyebrows.

"Sankami-senpai...... Are you going to look for a snow in the distant mountains? ”

"That's right!" Mikami nodded cheerfully.

This year, the person who represented the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion in the god sacrifice competition was still Toyama Noichiro - this kind of thing is not a secret, and you can find out if you inquire a little.

A while ago, Mikami had heard from a friend that Renichiro Toyama would once again participate in this year's god worship competition.

After learning this news, Mikami only felt that his body was full of strong battle intent.

"Ogata-kun...... You know what happened to last year's god worship competition, right? ”

"Of course I do......," Ogata said without thinking.

Mikami was killed by a sword by Toyama Renichiro at last year's god worship competition - this incident was not only a shame for Mikami himself, but also a shame for their Sakakihara Sword Hall.

The god worship competition has long since departed from the original intention of its establishment, and it has long been no longer a friendly match between the two sword halls, but has become an important competition related to the face and dignity of the two sword halls.

Which Sword Pavilion disciple can defeat the opponent's Sword Pavilion disciple and win the victory of the God Sacrifice Competition, then the face of the masters and apprentices of which Sword Pavilion will naturally rise.

Last year, Mikami was lifted off not long after he came on the field...... I have to say that just using the word "shame" to describe last year's fiasco is already a bit inadequate.

"Ever since last year's fiasco to Renichiro Toyama, I haven't forgotten this shame."

Mikami continued.

"So—in order to be able to be ashamed! Ogata-kun, I won't give you the position of the chief of the big competition in the hall this time! ”

Mikami said as he raised the sword in his right hand and formed a mid-range position.

Looking at Mikami, who had already set up his stance, Ogata also silently parted his feet, and then raised the wooden sword and put on a mid-section stance as standard as Mikami.

"Senior Mikami, although I'm not like you, I have some reason why I must get the position of the chief of the big competition in the hall and go to the god competition again."

"But—"

Speaking of this, Ogata chuckled a few times.

"I'm a guy who prefers to win rather than lose."

"So I'm the same - the chief position of Dabi in the museum, I won't give it up to you easily!"
