Hase's distress, Fujii Tree has not yet noticed, but when school is out, the number of people who go to the kendo club has changed from one to three, and if he can see it, he will also find that Shinnosuke is also in the queue.

When he came to the kendo club, Fujii got a piece of news that he didn't expect.

"Minister Ichikawa's father is hospitalized, and he can't come to the kendo club for guidance during this time."

The members of the kendo club told him that the strongest Ichikawa Rikichi was not there, and there was no suitable opponent for the challenge.

On the other side, in the white ward, the man lying on the bed is the kimono man who was injured after fighting Nagara Sosuke.

"Who the hell hurt you? Daddy."

Ichikawa Rikichi, who was guarding the bedside, peeled apples, and his father, Ichikawa Nobutaka, who practiced in his own gym last night, was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, but fortunately, the part of the hand was not fatal, and the ambulance came in time.

"You don't need to know the name of the below, it's just a nameless swordsman passing by."

Nagara's reply echoed in Ichikawa Nobutaka's ears, and he turned his face sideways and slowly opened up.

"It's just a competition with a master, even if the skill is not as good as others, the character can't also fall into the inferior."

"What age is it, and are there any real swords? It's going to kill you."

Ichikawa Rikichi obviously disagrees with his father's concept, and he is already the father of the eighth dan of kendo, and the father who has read the essence of the ancestral Ichikawa sword stream, there is still someone who can defeat him and convince him, and he has no stubbornness in the past at all.

"As a swordsman, I don't even have the courage to compete with a real sword, so I might as well not hold a sword."

Ichikawa Nobutaka's temper came up, and he blamed a few words before he remembered the matter of the dojo.

"By the way, did those bastards from the Sumiyoshi Society come to make trouble? They've been eyeing the land of our gym for a long time."

When he first saw Nagara Sosuke, before the fight, he mistakenly thought that it was someone Sumiyoshi would invite, but as soon as he fought, he understood that Nagara Sosuke's sword would not dirty himself for money or anything like that.

"No, now that the police have sealed it outside the gym, they don't dare to come."

Ichikawa Rikichi replied truthfully that Sumiyoshi will be one of the several major underground forces in the island country, although the policy of cracking down on violent groups has made the underground forces of the island country uncomfortable in recent years, but they have turned to real estate and other industries, and they have also begun to use some shady tricks to buy land at a low price, and then resell it to colluding real estate developers, which can be regarded as the reserved skills of the underground forces in various countries.

"That's good, during the time I recuperate, the gym will be handed over to you, and the school can't go away, this time you only won the fifth place in Tokyo, if there is no successor next year, won't the kendo club cross over?"

The injured Ichikawa Nobutaka, who still has the heart to care about the kendo club led by his son, the kendo level of high school students in Tokyo has always been very rolling, and the son of the strength of the five-dan semi-professional swordsman can only get the fifth, although there are factors that his teammates are not able to give, but it is also very revealing.

"There's a newcomer here recently, and he should be better than me, but it's a pity that he's also a senior in high school."

When it comes to the question of succession, Ichikawa Rikichi also has a headache, and finally there is someone to count on, but I didn't expect it to be a student in the third year of high school, and next year's Jade Dragon Kendo Tournament won't even be able to get into the top eight, right? ….

"Is the sword skill better than yours? It's rare."

Ichikawa Nobutaka looked at his son's hand peeling apples, the joints and the tiger were covered with calluses, and there were not many peers who could be stronger than him since he was a child.

"No! It's the physique, the strength, the speed, the reflexes, that completely crushed me, it's a monster."

Speaking of Fujii Tree, Ichikawa Rikichi came to his senses, gestured, and reproduced the move that Fujii Tree hit him straight at that time.

"Is it so strong? I feel like I was born to practice swords, if I was in the Warring States, this kind of person would probably become a famous general like Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, no! It should be the kind of fierce general who can take the commander of the enemy line with one horse."

To be able to defeat his own son without a kendo foundation, Ichikawa Nobutaka objectively evaluated.

"The apple is peeled, do you want to eat it?"

Rikichi Ichikawa handed the peeled apple forward, and Nobutaka Ichikawa gave him a strange look

, pointing at his injured abdomen.

"Oh, then I'll digest it myself."

Seeing his father's abdomen wrapped in bandages, Ichikawa Rikichi took back the apple in hindsight, and the ward suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of gnawing apples.

-------------------------------------

A hollow steel pipe broken in two was quietly placed on the coffee table, and the leader of the gangsters who beat the homeless man completely lost the arrogance of that night, and sat down honestly and knelt on the tatami mat of the Japanese-style ancient house.

Akihisa Yamashita, the fifty-seven-year-old head of the Sumiyoshikai Tokyo ward, dressed in a pure black kimono, looked at the gangster leader with a grim face, and next to him, the blue-green demon masked man who had briefly appeared, Ueno Nariaki, was staring at the cut in the steel pipe.

"Let you make some trouble, this little thing can't be done, what's the use of asking you!"

Yamashita Akihisa is particularly angry, the leader of the gangsters is a head of his Sumiyoshi Association, and Ueno Chenghuang is an agent invited by the cooperative real estate developer, specializing in dealing with underground forces, he is very famous and energetic over the years, he doesn't want Ueno Chenghuang to look down on himself.

"Such a smooth cut is not something that ordinary people can do."

Nariko Ueno picked up the steel pipe, squinted his eyes, looked at it, and came to a conclusion.

"You said that at that time, the man used a knife to cut the steel pipe in your hand, right?"

Ueno Nariaki, who was wearing a demon mask, approached with great oppression, and stuffed the half of the steel pipe that was less than thirty centimeters left in his hand back into the hands of the gangster leader.

"Hey! That's right."

The leader of the gangsters looked up in bewilderment, only to find that Ueno Nariaki pulled out the enshrined knife on the indoor knife rack and approached again with the knife.

"Wow!"

The sword flashed, and a cold light pierced into the eyes of the gangster leader, and when he regained his sight, the half of the steel pipe in his hand was half shorter, and Ueno Nariaki, who inserted the enshrined knife back into the scabbard, picked up the small half of the steel pipe on the ground, and the incision was as smooth and smooth as a perfect replica.

At this time, the leader of the gangsters took a few steps back in fear, bent down and pressed his forehead to the ground, his buttocks were raised high, and his body trembled incessantly.

Is this man also a monster?

After seeing the gangster leader of Ueno Chenghuang's methods, he thought in a panic, just a little bit, if his head is going to move, and the person who can cut iron so easily, it is no longer a problem to cut people.

"Smack, smack! Smack !!"

Akihisa Yamashita on the side clapped his hands, nodding affirmatively in approval for Ueno Chenghuang's performance.

"A swordsman who can do this level can't afford to be provoked by your Sumiyoshi Society, there is only one way."

Ueno sat back in his place and spoke unhurriedly.

"What's the solution?"

Yamashita asked whimsically.

"Add money, let me meet him."

After taking a sip of tea, Ueno replied confidently.
