234. Then follow through!
After the quarterfinals, there were only four teams left, namely Fukuoka Okishima High School and the private Hideki Academy, as well as two teams that were attacked and lacked personnel.
Okinoshima High School and Hideki Academy each faced off against a remnant team. Although the strength of these two remnant teams is very strong, after all, they lack a main player, which is basically equivalent to four to five, and they were defeated as expected.
In anticipation of the audience, Okishima High School and Hideki Academy stood on the stage of the finals and began to compete for the championship.
"I didn't expect us to really make it to the finals" A boy who showed off his embers scratched his head, feeling like he was dreaming: "I thought we would make do with the top 16." β
The strength of the kendo department of Xiushen Academy is not weak now, but it is not as rich as other old kendo schools. It was already lucky that they were able to enter the top 16 this time, but they didn't expect to reach the final in a daze.
"This tournament is very strange, the teams that should be strong are too weak to be motivated." Motaro was also not very happy: "Sure enough, it's because they were attacked, we can win to this point, I really have to thank Kyushu senior!" β
"Speaking of which, why haven't Kyushu-san come back yet?" Another boy wondered, "He won't really go to the locker room and sleep until now, will he?" β
"Don't think about anything else, focus on the game in front of you!" The kendo minister is also very concerned about Makoto Kyushu, but he has to remind everyone to put away their thoughts and take the game seriously:
"Fukuoka Okishima High School, I've heard they used to be very good. No matter how chaotic this year's Jade Dragon Flag competition is, since Okishima High School can step on the finals, they must not be underestimated! β
Under the command of the referee, two teams, Okishima High School and Hideki Academy, stepped into the ring, bowed in opposite positions, and then started the game.
To be honest, this Jade Dragon Flag competition can only be described as "inexplicable".
Players were attacked and absent on a large scale, resulting in many seeded teams losing early due to the lack of key players, but some underdogs who were not favored took the opportunity to pick up the top position.
Of course, the "unpopular team" mentioned here is Xiushen Academy.
For the fact that Xiu Ember Academy was able to reach the finals, some media and audiences were completely unconvinced.
Regardless of the fact that the performance level of Xiu Ember Academy in the audition can only be regarded as above average, they also played three consecutive remnant teams lacking the main force in the finals today, which can be said to be a victory.
If there had been no accident with these three teams, a kendo team like Xiu Ember Academy would probably have left the scene very early!
But the game has been carried out at this time, and everyone has nothing to say, just concentrate on watching the play.
Fukuoka Okishima High School was not favored by the media originally, but they actually defeated the private Takamagaharazu Academy just now, which instantly caused a lot of discussion.
In particular, the main general Iwata Man's last move "tooth protrusion" stabbed violently, quite like his brother Iwata Tower and the style of the year, it must be very topical.
Some reporters have already decided to write about the theme of "The Younger Brother of Takazu Iwata", and they have taken out small notebooks to write down their inspirations.
"Private Hideash Academy, vs. Fukuoka Okishima High School" players from both sides are ready.
The pioneers of both sides stepped into the arena and faced each other with swords in hand.
"Come on!"
"Come on, Ember!"
"Don't let everyone down, Okinoshima High School!"
The referee slowly raised the flag and announced:
"The first battle, begin!"
"This is Uncle Maoming's home."
As soon as the game began, Nan Hehui secretly left the arena with Kyushu Cheng and came to Maoming's house half an hour away.
It is a detached villa close to the suburbs, surrounded by well-groomed yards, and is a large family.
The two came to the door. Maoming homes use electronic doors, and there are cameras at the door, so that the residents inside the door can see the appearance of visitors.
"Your Excellency Kyushu, you hide first, and I'll knock on the door." Nan Hehui said.
The son of the Maoming family had seen Kyushu Makoto last night, and if he saw him appear, he would definitely be on guard.
"I see." Makoto Kyushu took a few steps to the side, leaned against the wall, and hid in the corner of the camera.
γDing Dongββ! γ
Nan Hehui rang the doorbell and shouted, "Is Uncle Maoming at home?" β
A moment later, a young man's voice came over the intercom at the door: "You are. Nam? How did you come? β
"It's Kenta!" Nan Hehui greeted familiarly: "I have something to do with Uncle Maoming, is he at home?" β
"He's gone to the bar on Seagull Street." The young man behind the door replied, "I remember Anan was a special guest at this competition, right?" Isn't the game over yet? β
"Well~ Because I have something urgent to find Uncle Maoming, I asked the organizer for a leave of absence." Nan Hehui said vaguely:
"Since Uncle Maoming is not here, then I will go to Seagull Street to find him, thank you!"
"If you have anything urgent, I can help you convey it to him." The young man behind the door proposed, "In case he doesn't happen to be at that bar, aren't you going to make a trip for nothing?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, don't bother you, Kenta." Nan Hehui hurriedly said, "I'll go first!" β
"Wait a minute, Anan!" Suddenly, the young man behind the door stopped him, and his tone became strange:
"I heard you've been investigating that for the past few days, right?"
"Which thing?" Nan Hehui was stunned.
"Don't play dumb with me, Anan." The young man behind the door said solemnly:
"You were asking all over the place the other day about the attack on the players, and I know all about it, we all know it."
β.β Nan Hehui also had a calm face and asked, "What do you want to say?" β
"As a native of Fukuoka, you should understand that we desperately need a champion, and Ta and the younger brother of the eldest brother are our last hope." The young man behind the door said:
"Anan, you didn't succeed last year, we don't blame you, it's not your fault. But you also have to be ashamed, understand everyone's suffering, and don't make your hometown difficult anymore. β
β.β Nan Hehui couldn't help but clench his fists, wanting to say something.
But after holding it for a while, he could only sigh and say, "I understand, I wish you success." β
With that, he hung up the communication.
Kyushu Cheng listened to the whole time, and when he saw that they were over the call, he sneered: "Is he not recruiting himself?" β
"At this point, there is no room to deceive yourself." Nan Hehui had a cold face and looked angry: "Who is the real murderer. It's already clear. β
"He's on the lookout for you, it's definitely not going to work to get in through the main entrance, but it shouldn't be difficult to get in through the wall." Makoto Kyushu pointed to the wall of Maoming's house.
This wall is a very retro brick wall, and there are no burglar-proof iron bars. The height of the walls seems to be barely more than two meters, and it is not difficult to climb over them.
"I'm really embarrassed to have made His Excellency Kyushu and me accomplices." Nan Hehui was a little ashamed.
"I don't care, don't waste time." Kyushu Cheng made a cushion with both hands and motioned for Nan Hehui to step on.
"Hey!" Nan and Hui stepped on Kyushu Makoto's hand, and jumped up the wall in the second stage.
Makoto Kyushu also took two steps back, strode forward, and jumped over the wall with a kick.
The two crossed the wall and entered the courtyard of Maoming's house.
Through the window of the mansion, Kyushu Makoto saw a young man in a plaster cast sitting in the living room, watching the live TV broadcast of the Jade Dragon Flag Competition.
This person is the son of Uncle Maoming, Kenta Maoming.
[Next is the one-eighth final of Fukuoka Okishima High School against the private Takamagahagamine Academy!] Fukuoka is the strongest VS Tokyo is the strongest, this is sure to be a blood-boiling matchup, even if you die, it's worth the ticket price! γ
The TV was turned on very loudly, and the host's voice was also very excited, and Kyushu Makoto felt his ears vibrate from a long distance, as if someone was spitting in his ears.
"That's him." Kyushu Makoto narrowed his eyes and saw the appearance of Kenta Maoming clearly:
"And with a plaster, I really deserve it."
Nan Hehui made a "shhh" gesture to Kyushu Makoto, and gestured to him.
Following the direction pointed by Minami and Teru, Makoto Kyushu found that there were two exits in the living room where Kenta Shigena was, one leading to the main entrance and one leading to the back door.
Kyushu sincerely understood, and quietly went around the back door to wait.
Seeing that it was ready, Nan Hehui walked quickly to the main gate and forcefully opened the door:
"Kenta, long time no see!"
"Huh?!" Kenta Maoming, who was sitting in the living room, was startled, jumped up from the cushion with one foot, picked up the crutches on the side, and said in a panicked voice:
"Anan. How did youβhow did you get in?! β
"I'm sorry, but now isn't the time to say that, Kenta." Nan Hehui had a serious expression, and tugged at the sword bag on his back, as if threatening the other party:
"Please be honest with me. Last night, did you take the snake raised by Uncle Maoming to attack the players of the private Xiu Ember Academy? β
"What the hell do you want to do?!" Kenta Maoming's eyes dodged, and he pointed at him and said angrily: "I, didn't I tell you to stop being nosy?!" Also, you're trespassing! What the hell are you going to do?! β
"I just wanted to ask you some questions." Nan Hehui gradually approached Maoming Kenta:
"Did you attack the private Ember Academy yesterday? Also, there have been many attacks on players in the past few days, who planned it? β
"I told you not to mix! I don't know anything! Maoming Kenta panicked even more, limping to the back door on crutches while shouting, "Help! Help me! β
Just as he ran to the back door and pulled the door open, he suddenly froze in place, and the cry for help stuck in his throat stopped abruptly.
A teenager with short black hair stood at the doorway with an umbrella in his hand.
The appearance and dress of the teenager are very mediocre, and he is not a hipster in the "countryside" like Fukuoka, and he is a complete dirt bun in Tokyo.
However, the young man's deep eyes made Kenta Maoming feel a deep fear, like a fire of anger that was about to swallow him up.
"You are" Kenta Maoming sat on the ground with weak legs and feet.
"Hello, Mr. Kenta Shigena." Makoto Kyushu greeted lightly: "Counting the meeting in front of the convenience store and the hotel window last night, we should be meeting for the third time, right?" β
Makoto Kyushu slowly approached Kenta Maoming.
"You monster, don't come here!" Recalling the crazy boy who screamed and threw scissors at him last night, Kenta Maoming was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled back, but was blocked by Nan Hehui again.
In the face of this situation, Maoming Kenta had no way to retreat, and could only tremble.
γOh! The strikers of both sides are off the field, and then it's a showdown between the secondary strikers! Who will win?! γ
The TV was still playing live and the host's enthusiastic voice.
"So. Let's be honest. Kyushu Makoto stared at Kenta Maoming with fierce eyes, and threatened:
"If you don't want to confess, I also have the means to make you confess."
"You guys. . . You are trespassing and intimidating me! Maoming Kenta's face was pale, and he said in a dying struggle: "I want to call the police, you just wait to go to jail!" β
"Haha, you Fukuoka people are so humorous~ Why didn't you think about obeying the law when you came to kill us yesterday?" Kyushu Makoto waved his umbrella and smiled coldly:
"Since you say I've broken the law, I might as well follow through. Before the police come, guess if I can pry your mouth open~? β
"Ahhh I'm not going to say anything!! Don't come here!! β
