There is no direct train from Tokyo to Fukuoka, so you need to take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Osaka and from Osaka to the Sanyo Line to Fukuoka.

Just such a toss and turn, the morning is basically over, which is why the group went to Fukuoka a day earlier.

When I went to the scene on the day of the game, I couldn't catch up with the Jade Dragon Banner directly.

In the carriage of the Shinkansen, the boys were still enthusiastic and continued to brag and chat.

There are also people who take out snacks to share with everyone, just like elementary school students going out in the spring.

When a group of adolescent boys gathers together, the IQ will be infinitely close to that of elementary school students.

This refers to normal boys, not bad high school students.

The topic of their chat is very jumpy, one moment it is still another world, and the next moment it will become a dancing video of a YouTube blogger.

This one said that the legs were white, and the other said that it looked better with stockings, and some people took out their cherished photos of Welfare Ji for everyone to appreciate.

Qing Ze didn't pretend to be tall, and the picture of Fu Ji can still be called beautiful.

He was also a sixteen-year-old boy, so it was natural for him to get involved in such a topic.

Time passed like this, and in the midst of meaningless small talk, they came to Fukuoka and got off at a station in the Hakata area.

It's lively all around.

The venue for the Jade Dragon Banner was held in Marin Maiser in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka.

Kenta Ishigami had already booked a room in advance, and he said with a smug face: "The hostel I booked is only two minutes away from Marin Mercer.

At this urgent moment, thanks to my quick hands, I was able to grab three rooms. ”

"Okay, minister, we know you're good, lead the way."

Qing Ze patted him on the shoulder, rubbed his stomach with his other hand and said, "I'm hungry after sitting for so long, throw my travel bag in the hostel and find a place to eat." ”

"The school's budget is not enough, so don't order too expensive."

Kenta Ishigami replied that he begged the student council president for a long time to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner, and then he got the funds for this competition.

If you don't have money, you won't even be able to play.

……

As it approached noon, the sun in the Hakata area was hotter than in Tokyo, and the scorching sun seemed to roast the cicadas on the trees, so you couldn't even snort.

Qing Ze and his party were soon sweating profusely from the sun.

"Minister, haven't you arrived yet?"

"We've only been walking for a long time."

Kenta Ishigami complained about the problem of the first grade, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, it was really hot this day, and it felt like ten minutes had passed without walking a few hundred meters from the station.

He glanced ahead and said, "Look, there's the hostel ahead. ”

"Wow!"

The first-year members had expressions of amazement on their faces, as if they had not imagined that they would be able to live in such a luxury hotel.

The seniors in the second and third grades are very calm.

Kenta Ishigami was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't think about those beautiful things, how can we afford to rent a big hotel."

Further on, the hostel at the end of the street is where we slept tonight. ”

The first-grade looked at him and moved to a three-story hostel at the end of the street, with a plain appearance and no problem with it alone.

It's just that compared with luxury hotels, the gap directly becomes a heaven and an underground.

The first-year members were disappointed.

"Haha, aren't you from Radiant High School?

I didn't see you yesterday, and I thought you gave up the Jade Dragon Banner this time. ”

The sound of laughter sounded, Qing Ze turned his head sideways, looked at the young man with the hedgehog head in front of him, and said with a puzzled expression: "Who is this guy?" ”

"Nobody."

The echoing voice did not come from the side, but from the opposite team.

"Hey, Kumakura, which side of the hell are you?

Shut up! ”

Motegi Mato yelled, and then turned his head and said, "Uncle Ben is the pioneer of the blue and white vine, Motegi Mato!"

The champion of the Jade Dragon Banner this time must be owned by our blue and white vines! ”

With his hands on his hips, he had an arrogant and domineering expression, like those third-rate villains inside.

This expression didn't last for two seconds before Minister Kuriyama directly hit him on the head with a hand knife.

"It hurts." He quickly degenerated from a third-rate villain to a husky, making it clear to people that this guy was a fool.

"I'm so sorry, but our Motegi Mato is so rude."

"No, it doesn't matter, but this time the Jade Dragon Banner champion, our Glorious High School is also determined to win!"

It's rare for Kenta Ishigami to say a tough word, and with the hole card of Qing Ze, he feels that he can also straighten his waist and say this kind of thing.

In the past, he would never dare to tell others that he wanted to win the championship.

Kuriyama straightened his waist and looked at Kenta Ishigami in front of him, he hadn't seen him for a while, and this one seemed to have a bit of the momentum of a minister.

A gentle smile appeared on his face and said, "Each other." ”

Yutaro Shitori mingled around his predecessors, he was handsome, but not tall and strong, so that he looked particularly well-behaved without speaking.

"Have you ever fought against Takashi Suyong?"

Aosawa has a little impression of this one, although he can't remember the name, but the other party's handsome appearance and fierce kendo are still impressive.

At that time, if he didn't use the time to stop, he couldn't beat it at all.

Yutaro Shitori shook his head and said, "I didn't fight against Sunaga senior in the national competition. ”

"There's no way around it, and in order to regain the championship, the coach asked us to put Yutaro Shitori in the top three."

Kuriyama added, with a regretful expression: "This was foreseen in advance by the other party's coach, and he directly asked Su Yong Takashi to play the pioneer position." ”

"Motegi was beaten badly."

The boy named Kumakura sighed.

Mato Motegi suddenly blushed and said, "What do you mean to fight very badly, I at least survived a move." ”

This was a very awkward topic, and after Mato Motegi finished speaking, he quickly put it aside and asked, "Do you also stay at the Hirota Hotel?" ”

Kenta Ishigami's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

There is no shame in booking a hostel with a low price, there is a shame in contrast.

Familiar people book a luxury hotel, they book a modest hostel.

As soon as the two are compared, it will appear that the Kendo Club of Glorious High School is particularly poor.

"The mountains are not high, but there are immortals."

Qing Ze explained in ancient Chinese: "Kendo never pays attention to any bells and whistles, as long as you have strength, it is the same wherever you live." ”

"You're right, Aosawa senior."

Yutaro Shitori looked impressed, but he didn't really value the residence very much.

It's just that Qinghuateng is different from Guanghui High School, it can be said that it is a strong school in kendo, and the funds for the kendo club are sufficient.

On the side of Guanghui High School, the student council was able to allocate funds to let them compete, and it was all Kenta Ishigami, begging grandpa to sue grandma, pestering the student council president with a dead face for a long time, swearing to win the championship before getting the budget.

But in such a poor situation, Kenta Ishigami believes that he will soon stay away from Guanghui High School.

The baseball club was able to get sufficient funding, and it was not Kyoichiro Furusawa who led the baseball club to Koshien.

As long as Qing Ze can lead them to win the championship of the Jade Dragon Banner, then the next time the kendo club participates, the funds of Guanghui High School will definitely be different from this time.

However, Kenta Ishigami can't see that day.

This year is the last summer of his high school career.

"Qing Ze, can we win this year?"

Kenta Ishigami watched the blue and white vine enter the Hirota Hotel, and he withdrew his gaze with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face.

Qing Ze patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have time to think about that, why don't you think about it, when we go back, hang the Jade Dragon Flag on the wall of the Kendo Department, or make a table for it?" ”

"I think it's better to hang it up and offer trophies."

"Just scrape together the money to buy a cabinet and put the trophy in it, so that the future members can see the peak of the Kendo club of Glorious High School."

"Haha, put on a photo of us again."

They discussed the future and moved into the modest inn.

……

Afternoon.

Yokoo Ruriko went around and got the general information and returned to the hotel where Kamiya High School was staying.

She went straight up to the third floor to room 301.

This is a single room specially equipped for him by the coach considering the particularity of Takashi Suyong.

Everyone else traveled to Marin Mercer to watch the Kamiya High School girls' club play.

As a strong kendo school, Kamiya High School's kendo is naturally divided into a men's division and a women's division.

But Sunaga Takashi had no interest in those games.

Riko Yokoo swiped the card to open the door and entered the house, Suyong Takashi in the living room had already put the knife into the sheath, a layer of light sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face was calm.

"Gao Shi, there are five hundred and thirty-six boys' teams participating in the Jade Dragon Banner competition this time, I just went outside to take a look, and Guanghui High School really participated."

"Oh."

Su Yong Gaoshi's expression was very calm, tomorrow was the competition of the Jade Dragon Banner, but he couldn't make a wave in his heart.

Or rather, he hadn't had any idea of what to expect before the game for a long time.

Every time I go out with a calm mind, defeat the enemy, and then win the championship.

The only failure, that is, on the Jade Dragon Banner last year, he was consumed by too many people, resulting in defeat.

But that defeat was only a lack of physical strength, and after supplementing that, he felt that no one among his peers was his opponent.

This is not out of any pride, but just a conclusion that Suyong Takashi has come to after a calm scrutiny.

Ruriko Yokoo put the takeout on the table and said, "For the sake of insurance, you still don't want to be a pioneer." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to break through all the teams by myself."

Takashi Suyong shook his head, he followed the advice of Yokoo Ruriko many times.

Only in kendo, he seems to be very assertive, and even the coach can't change his mind.

Yokoo Ruriko frowned slightly, since the past, Suyong Takashi has been that kind of unsociable character, so the relationship with everyone in the kendo club is not very good.

Or rather, apart from her, there are no friends who can talk.

But considering the strength of this one, there is no need to have a good relationship with those people.

"As long as you're happy."

Yokoo Ruriko did not continue to persuade.

With Suyong Takashi's current physical strength, he can indeed overturn all opponents by himself.
