At eight o'clock, the Jade Dragon Flag Conference was officially held.

As with all conferences, the opening ceremony will start first.

However, unlike the opening ceremony of those international competitions, the opening ceremony of the Jade Dragon Flag Conference is much simpler, basically as long as each school sends a table to hold a flag to enter-

Otherwise, there are too many people and the venue can't fit it.

Then the representative of the organizer came forward to speak, and the part of the opening ceremony was roughly over, and it entered the stage of drawing lots and grouping.

This part is even simpler, the representatives of each school - generally the head and deputy minister of the kendo club or the strength of the team to draw lots, and then the scene is divided into divisions and opponents.

For example, Toyonosaki High School, where Qin Heqing is located, was drawn to Division D to fight against Oishi City High School from Ishikawa Prefecture.

There are two seeded teams from the Tokyo metropolitan area, Tokyo Metropolitan University High School and Osaka Prefecture Flying Eagle Private High School.

Both teams did not have to participate in the first round of elimination, and went straight to the second round, which made Qin Heqing very envious.

- If only they could enjoy this kind of treatment at Toyonozaki High School.

Unfortunately, they are neither the champions and runners-up of last year's National Contestant Championship, nor the regional champion teams in this year's county conference, but they cannot enjoy the seed treatment that only outstanding colleges can enjoy, so they have to compete for the right to appear with dozens of teams in the same group and compete for the final championship qualification with other teams from nine other regions.

The pressure is enormous.

Fortunately, this kind of thing doesn't need him to take on it, so just do his job - as the leader of the team competition, just calm down!

For the rest, free Kiryu Cang to worry about.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention the rules of the team competition, just like the name of the tournament, Jade Dragon Flag, which uses a deathmatch system similar to KOF fighting games - as long as there is one person who can get off the field, it is not a loss!

Even if the vanguard, sub-striker, backbone, and quasi-general in front have all lost to the opponent at this time, as long as the last general can fight five, then the victory still belongs to the last surviving side.

It can be said that it is a great test of the foundation and comprehensive strength of the members of the school's kendo club.

Therefore, it is basically useless to arrange troops or something, and there is no need to burn the cells anymore, just do it and be done.

……

In this way, after about 40 minutes, the school part of the lottery group ended, and it was the turn of the men's individual group draw......

And this time it took a long time - more than 3,000 people, and just writing their names on the match table one by one is not a small project. So it wasn't until after nine o'clock and almost half past that the whole lottery part was over.

Then the conference was officially held, and the players in front of the queue entered the designated venue according to the guidance of the staff, and fought with the opponent according to the requirements and rules of the game.

That's a lot faster, and you can end a fight in an average of three minutes.

In this way, it is still played at the same time in multiple arenas -

Although the venue is not a very exaggerated venue, it is also the kind where three groups of table tennis players can fight at the same time, so when it is divided, six groups of players can fight together at the same time!

This greatly strengthens the progress of the game.

So it didn't take long for members of Toyonosaki High School to enter the schedule.

It's just a pity that the opponent is a strong man, so in less than three minutes, the member withdrew from the battle with a regretful face and returned to the team with a depressed expression.

"You've done a good job."

"Don't be discouraged, it's just your bad luck this time."

"Hey......"

The team members reached out and patted the man's back and shoulders, comforting him in an immature way.

"Thanks, I'm fine." The man replied with a forced smile.

……

Then the lunch break began, and the team members got together in twos and threes to discuss where to solve the stomach problem.

After all, the gymnasium is not a school, and there is no convenience store for them to buy food.

But fortunately, there is no shortage of supermarkets and small restaurants around.

"Don't look for it, come with me." Qin Heqing found Kiryu Cang, who was hesitating, and opened his mouth to invite.

Of course, it also includes the two girls from the kendo club who stayed with her at this time.

As for the others...... There is nothing to do with them today and tomorrow, so naturally they are gone!

It is estimated that it will not be until 90 o'clock in the evening, and no one else may be seen.

It can be seen that the two girls who stayed at the venue either had true love for kendo, or they had a very good relationship with Kiryu Cang, and they couldn't bear to stay here alone, so they deliberately stayed with her.

"You? What about Kato? Kiryu glanced at him in surprise, and asked strangely when he noticed that there were fewer people around.

"Xiaohui was worried that there would be no place for the fast food restaurants around at noon, so I went to the good store to help occupy the space before the lunch break began, na, this is a text message she just sent, telling me to hurry over." Qin Heqing showed the information in his mobile phone and showed off.

"I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful." Kiryu Cang nodded, and said with some surprise.

"I didn't think that far ahead, it was all Megumi thought of, I just enjoyed the convenience." Qin Heqing smiled, his face full of smug pride.

"Kato-san...... It's cheaper for you. Kiryu sighed. looked like a pity (liao), which made Qin Heqing feel very unhappy, "What do you mean?!" ”

"It's not interesting." Kiryu said calmly.

Then under such a fuss, Qin Heqing took Kiryu Cang and the three of them to the fast food restaurant selected by Megumi Kato according to the instructions on the map, and met Megumi Kato, who had already occupied a seat of six people at this time.

"Heqing, here!" Megumi Kato stood up and greeted.

"Let's go over." Qin Heqing said with a smile.

Then Qin Heqing and the others walked to the dining table and sat down next to and opposite Megumi Kato, respectively.

"Waiter!"

"What would you like to eat?" A waitress dressed in a waiter's suit walked over with a menu.

"Get me a portion of this package A, plus a drink."

"I want set B plus a drink."

"Me too."

"Package A and drinks."

“B”

"Hurry up."

"Okay, please wait." Then the waiter stepped back and went to the back kitchen to serve them food.

"Thanks to you Kato, otherwise I guess I would have been able to eat bread and drink." At the same time, following Kiryu Cang, the short-haired girl who remembered her name was Jun Nojima looked at the fast food restaurant that was almost full at this time, and said with some joy.

"yes, I'm saved." Another girl, Yumiko Sanchi, chimed in.

"It's nothing, I just don't have anything to do anyway......" Megumi Kato shook his head slightly, modestly.

"By the way, who is your opponent in the afternoon?" Next to the three of them, Kiryu Cang chatted with Qin Heqing about the competition.
