At ten o'clock in the morning, after a speech by the host and the organizers, the final of the Jade Dragon Flag officially began.

There are four matches in today's competition: the women's singles final, the men's singles final, the women's team final and the men's team final.

The men's and women's singles competitions will be played first, followed by the women's team competitions. As for the most exciting men's team event, it will be played at the end.

The singles matches were all 1v1, so it went very quickly, and it only took more than an hour to finish.

In the end, the men's singles winner was a rough boy from Osaka, and the women's winner was an upset fighter from Hokkaido.

The boy with the best score in the singles competition of Xiu Ember Academy stopped in the round of 32, although it was far from the championship, but it was also a good result to remember.

Besides, that boy is a second-year student, and he has a chance to fight for another year next year.

Next came the women's team competition, and the girls of Ember Academy said goodbye to the boys and got up to go to the arena.

Presumably to cover people's eyes, the attackers also attacked the women's team. Half of the women's teams that reached the final were attacked and had to be sent on the bench.

"Private Hideash Academy vs. Seventy Inawa High School. The first game begins! ”

The opponents in the first round of Xiushen Academy were not weak, but some people were attacked, so the pioneer was a second-year girl who came on as a substitute.

As a pioneer, Hideki Mizuhashi wore a trumpet kendo uniform, and with the help of the girls, put on her face armor and checked the lacing, and then took the stage with a bamboo sword.

Just standing on the stage, Mizuhashi Hideki trembled with nervousness, and the bamboo sword also shook significantly, like a frightened little rabbit.

Although she overcame her introverted personality a little bit with the help of Makoto Kyushu and others. However, suddenly standing on such a large arena, the audience was densely packed, and the camera kept flashing at her, not to mention that she was just a novice in kendo, what if she made a fool of herself in front of so many people?

"Don't be nervous, Mizuhashi-chan!" The teammates sitting on the sideline cheered her up: "Relax, play freely, don't care if you win or lose!" ”

The teammates don't want to put too much pressure on Mizuhashi Hideki, after all, without her, it's four to five, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

Mizuhashi Hideki's opponent is a tall girl who stands in front of her like a little giant, and she should join the basketball team more than the kendo club.

Although the tall girl on the opposite side is also a substitute player, the substitute player of this strong team will not be particularly bad, and it is somewhat powerful.

After seeing Mizuhashi Hideki's funny appearance, the tall girl immediately regarded her as a novice and let out a casual scornful laugh.

"Let's go!"

The two sides put on a posture and competed against each other.

The tall girl was obviously very underestimated, and raised the bamboo sword above her head, putting on an upper-stage sword grip that was defenseless and focused on attacking.

"Yuanmei, don't underestimate the enemy!" The teammates in the audience shouted, but the tall girl turned a blind eye, obviously wanting to end the game directly with a sharp downward slash, and kick the novice who couldn't hold the sword directly off the field.

Mizuhashi Hideki looked at her opponent through the gaps in her visor and swallowed nervously.

"It's horrible. Sure enough, I'm not fit for this kind of competition," she murmured, her opponent's arrogance shivering inside.

But the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent. Everyone in the kendo club is very kind to them, and they want to help a little bit.

What's more, the seniors are still watching from the audience, how can they lose face in front of him?

Mizuhashi Hideki knows that Makoto Kyushu is a man who only appreciates the strong. Showing a weak side in front of him may be able to get his sympathy and love, but you will definitely not get his sincerity!

"Don't be nervous that my seniors have given me special training, I will definitely succeed." Hideki Mizuhashi recalls the words of Makoto Kyushu Makoto who guided her the night she first came to Fukuoka.

[Mizuhashi-san's body is very petite, and it is easy to make people feel that they are easy to bully. So you have to deliberately pretend to be afraid and weak when fighting, and wait for your opponent to take it lightly before launching a fatal blow. 】

[Fighting requires letting go of shame. No matter how ladylike you are in normal times, you have to go crazy and make your opponents feel fearful when you go into battle. 】

"It's too" Mizuhashi Hideki breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately had an idea in her mind.

She was so scared that she trembled when she came to the stage just now, and she had already formed the first impression of a "weak" opponent.

Her opponent was also taken lightly by her weakness, and she put on an upper-section sword grip that was almost defenseless.

But this is precisely the key to her victory!

The so-called high-end hunters often appear as prey. Anyway, the rules of the game do not prohibit players from pretending to be weak and selling miserably, and the opponent is to blame if he loses the enemy.

"Wow, ahh Faced with the enemy's flawed posture, Mizuhashi Hideki took a deep breath, suddenly opened her throat and shouted, rushing out like a small cannonball, swinging her sword and slashing at the opponent's door.

Hideki Mizuhashi usually speaks softly, and her voice is restrained and cute. But at this moment, there was a heart-rending sense of shock in her roar, like a shrew who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

"Wow, what are you doing!" The tall girl was startled by the contrast of Mizuhashi Hideki, and her mind suddenly went blank, and she was stunned in place with her sword.

"Defend, defend!" The coach in the audience couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.

The tall girl came back to her senses, and Mizuhashi Hideki was already rushing in front of her, swinging her sword and slashing down.

"Damn!" The tall girl took two steps back with a messy step, hastily turning her sword around in an attempt to block the attack.

But just as Mizuhashi Hideki's sword slash was about to be blocked by the opponent, she quickly twisted her wrist, causing the bamboo sword to turn unnaturally in a small circle, and hit the back of the opponent's hand at a strange angle.

"Smack——!

"Hand, medium!" Mizuhashi Hideki shouted in time.

"Valid score!" The referee took a look at it and immediately raised his flag to announce.

"So handsome, Mizuhashi-chan is amazing!" The girls in the audience couldn't help but cheer for her.

Only then did the tall girl realize that she had been tricked. Originally, she thought that there was a substitute novice on the other side, but she didn't expect that she actually had some ability.

If the confrontation just happened on a real battlefield, the tall girl would have had her hands cut off and become a lamb to be slaughtered!

However, this is a kendo match, and even if Mizuhashi hits the opponent's hand, he only gets a valid score once.

The team competition of the Jade Dragon Banner adopts a "3-point system", and whichever player gets two points first in five minutes wins. If the winner is not decided at the end of the five minutes, the player with the highest score wins or loses in a draw.

Mizuhashi only got one point, and she needs another point to win against her opponent.

However, after losing a point so humiliatingly at the beginning, the mentality of the tall girl has completely exploded, and she is not in the mood to continue the game at all, and she is also afraid that this dwarf winter melon girl will rush up yelling like a psychopath.

The two sides consumed each other for five minutes, and both sides were at the level of rookies pecking each other, and no one could move anyone.

In the last five seconds, the tall girl began to be anxious, and wanted to attack and sneak attack but made a mistake, but instead sent the other party a flaw. However, Mizuhashi Hideki was inexperienced and did not catch this flaw in time to fight back.

"Stop! The game is over! When the five minutes were up, the referee immediately raised the flag and signaled the two sides to stop:

"Private Xiu Ember Academy, Mizuhashi Hideki one point. Seventy Inaba High School, Takemura Enmi zero points. Hideki Mizuhashi wins! ”

The tall girl shook her head, bowed unconvinced, and walked off the stage in disappointment.

Mizuhashi gasped and looked back at the other four teammates.

I saw that the four girls were excitedly giving her a thumbs up and silently encouraging her.

She looked in the direction of the dugout, trying to find a familiar figure.

"Seniors. Absence? However, she only saw Shibukawa-sensei in the coach's seat, and Makoto Kyushu disappeared.

Suddenly, Mizuhashi Hidehime felt a wave of loss for no apparent reason, and her eyes became sluggish.

My performance just now was so wonderful, didn't my predecessors see it?

"Great, Mizuhashi-san! Keep fighting! The other four teammates were still cheering her on.

"Well, I'll stick with it." Mizuhashi Hideki also had to smile slightly and continue to face the next opponent.

Compared to the tall girl, the opponent's second striker is a real starter.

Drawing on the defeat experience of the striker, the opponent's secondary striker did not underestimate the enemy, and played steadily throughout the whole process, and soon forced Mizuhashi Hideki to defeat with the difference in strength.

"Don't be discouraged, Mizuhashi-san." The secondary girl of Xiuyan Academy patted Mizuhashi Hideki on the back and comforted, "You have already helped me a lot, and you have also helped me consume the other party's physical strength." ”

"Well, everyone should do the good work too." Mizuhashi Hideki also encouraged softly, her voice as soft as a glutinous rice ball, as if the crazy girl who was yelling in the arena just now was just a dream for everyone.

“.”

After a fierce and anxious battle, the champion of the women's team competition was finally decided, which was the private Takamagaharazu Academy.

The women's team of Ember Academy had bad luck and ended up in the quarterfinals.

Their team already lacks Senior Sister Kunoki, who is the core leader, and their strength is greatly reduced.

In the first round of 16, Hideki Mizuhashi calculated the opponent's striker through the tactic of "pretending to be weak", and the other four barely won 4v4.

But in the second quarterfinals, they unfortunately encountered the women's team of the private Takamagaharazu Academy. The team was not attacked, and the starters who went into battle almost crushed them.

In the warm applause, the athletes of the women's group retired in unison, leaving the field for the boys who were going to fight fiercely next.
