Chapter 494: Second Knife Flow (First Shift)

Mizuno frowned and looked at the finals that were about to start, his surroundings were quiet to the point where pins could be heard, and the surrounding schools all looked at Mizuno with surprised eyes, obviously not expecting this dark horse with a high Adachi to rush all the way to the finals.

He was originally going to lose a little in the semi-finals, but while fooling the supernatural hall, he accidentally cut the opponent off the horse.

In order to allow the two players to show their best strength in the final game, the rest time is more than half an hour, and if it is extended for a while, it may destroy the momentum of the two championship candidates.

This half-hour is not boring for the audience, and NHK has already prepared the press release materials for the two.

"I really didn't expect that the dark horse Mizuno would be able to go all the way to the championship finals." The female anchor barely wrote down the information on the script, and she didn't have to memorize all of them in a short time, just memorize a few places.

"Yes, in the team competition, Mizuno's Adachi Ichigao did not have outstanding results, and in previous years, he was also very silent in the kendo competition." Where there are no outstanding results, there is not even a splash at all, "but in the individual competition, it gave us such a big surprise, and as far as I know, Mizuno-san's family history is not related to his family, but he has only studied under the guidance of school swordsmanship." ”

"So you're still a kendo genius?"

"Haha."

Yuki Shirata recognized Mizuno in the quarterfinals, and when she saw the familiar face under the armor, she had a sense of chaos that had been staggered in time.

Wait, I'll take a look at the idea, this is a master who can make three-color dumplings, it seems that he is still a high school student, and now he may win the title of the first kendo person for high school students in the Tokyo area, after all kinds of identities overlap, Shirata Yuki can't help but sigh why the world is so small.

"No wonder, no wonder I saw Sora Mizuno at the section chief's house that day, it turned out to be ...... This is the heir of the swordsmanship of the section chief's family! ”

The old swordsman of Ninomori, who was sitting next to Shirata, didn't have much anger on his face now, although his grandson stopped in the top 16 and achieved miserable results, but after noticing Mizuno's several battles, his grandson did not lose unjustly.

The more Ninomori looks, the more frightened he becomes, this Mizuno is not very old, and his swordsmanship is a little complicated, but he is experienced, and he can always come up with ingenious solutions to the enemy's moves, emphasizing the killing of one hit.

This kind of urgency can only be attributed to the other party's hard work and talent on weekdays, and the genius born for the sake of kendo.

Hearing that Yuki Shirata knew Mizuno, the old man Ninomori couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart: "Officer Shirata police, you seem to know the red players on the field?" ”

Which seedling is this, he is so calm, he doesn't show mountains and water on weekdays, and he only became a blockbuster at the martial arts conference.

"It's an apprentice at the Frost Island Dojo." Bai Tian Youji said all this, and did not say more.

She also doesn't know much about Mizuno, and she doesn't have any news to say.

"Frost Island Dojo?"

The old man of Ninomori smashed his mouth, and quickly thought about where this Frost Island Dojo was.

Although there are 37 million people in the entire Tokyo area, there are only a few well-known dojos from ancient times to the present, and they have basically known each other after a hundred years of friendship, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, Ninomori suddenly knocked on his palm.

"Ah, the Frost Island Dojo in Taito Ward, the Dojo of the Frost Island Junichiro Family."

"Junichiro Frostjima?"

"It's my predecessor in kendo, but it's been many years since I passed away."

The old man of Ninomori is already seventy or eighty years old, and if the seniors in kendo are still alive, I am afraid they will be more than a hundred years old.

Shirata Yuki nodded as if he didn't understand, the dojo of the section chief's house was really powerful, just by saying the name of the dojo, this respected kendo celebrity remembered that he was a kendo master in Taito Ward.

Thinking back to Mizuno's battle, the old man Ninomori held his words in his heart.

He would remember that Junichiro Shijima, but not because the other party was a kendo master.

Rather, when he was just growing up, in his fifties, he had seen the merchant-like kendo senior, who was on crutches, with a philistine smile on his face, and always had a briefcase on his body.

During the post-war food crisis, this Junichiro made a windfall, took the line of the garrison, acquired a large amount of land, greatly expanded the land of the small dojo, and bought a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings at a low price, and the most legendary is his lame legs.

In order to avoid military service in the later stages of the war, Junichiro is said to have deliberately fallen from a mountain and broken his leg, saving him the nightmare of being drafted into the Pacific theater.

After the end of the war, he was very proud of it, and he talked about it again and again at meetings, which was incompatible with all the dojos at that time.

As for the fact that I haven't heard of anything else about the Frost Island Dojo later, Junichiro is just such a son, and he is an honest man.

He alone seems to have sucked away the shrewdness of the juniors, without the shrewd Junichiro, the dojo quickly declined, and the women's kendo of Shijima Kiyomi ...... Women's kendo has never been in the minds of orthodox kendo people like Ninomori.

"Then this Mizuno is a genius." The old man of Ninomori could only say that.

You can learn so much in the Frost Island Dojo, it's not a genius or something.

"But the enemy Mizuno faced this time was not simple." Looking at the two people squatting on the line, Ninomori said earnestly, "The champion of Kanagawa has no defeat in the martial arts tournament, and he makes good use of one hand and two swords." ”

Yuki Shirata had long noticed the two-handed sword in the hands of the Kanagawa champion, and compared to the bamboo swords, this two-handed sword player was much weirder.

If there is no indication in the kendo competition of the island country, it is not forbidden for players to use two-handed swords, because there are indeed two-handed swords in history, but there is a reason why two-handed swords are not popular.

This thing...... It is very difficult to play a role in real combat.

On NHK's live broadcast, there are also experts who are explaining: "It's a rare two-knife player, who can go to the finals with a two-knife flow, and this player named Shinkura is also very powerful." ”

"Is there anything difficult about Erdaoliu?" In addition to being popular, female anchors know very little about kendo.

In her impression, the two knife streams, the three knife streams, the five knife streams, the more knives, the better, isn't it all like this in the comics.

"Do you see the bamboo sword he is holding in his hand different from the bamboo sword we usually see? One is the style of the knife, and the other is the nature of the short knife and the rib difference, which is far from the two-handed knife that everyone imagines. ”

"Because don't look at the bamboo sword is not very heavy, but in fact, it also requires two arms to exert force at the same time to play the most powerful effect, it is difficult to fight the opponent in strength with a sword in one hand, and a long knife in one hand and a short knife in one hand is already the result of the trade-off."
