History of Kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 125 Two Great Swordsmen

The strongest dark horse was born. The Tokyo Metropolitan Kaisei Kendo Club eliminated the defending champions Cuifeng Kendo Club and Ishikawa Kendo Club in a row. It instantly gained a lot of attention on the Internet, and the popularity gradually climbed higher and higher.

At the same time, the competition between the Hainan Kendo Club led by Oda Tree and the Jingxin Kendo Club led by Kubota Eita also officially started.

They fought fiercely and lively, but Jindai Yu could tell that they were not in shape!
"I was frightened by Kazuhide Hayakawa." Jindaiyu said with emotion. He now knows why Kazuhide Hayakawa didn't end in the regional finals. He had already made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. ah.

"Brother Yu, if it were you, would you be able to break Kazuhide Hayakawa's good defense?" Asakusa Izumi asked curiously.

Kayoko, Inagaki Ishida and others also turned their heads when they heard this.

Even Maki Kujo wanted to know the answer.

"Yes." Kamito Yu nodded calmly.

There are two ways to defeat Kazuhide Hayakawa, the first is to grind.

With his current physical strength and endurance, grinding him for an hour or two would definitely grind him to death.

The second way is to enter the state of unity of human and sword.

At present, he is still in the first state of extreme sword state. Entering this state, his consciousness will be swallowed by the sword, ignorant, unconscious, thoughtless, and will become a pure to the extreme "sharp blade". Can't stop his blade!
"Heh." Next to him, Natsume Yangyi suddenly chuckled, and he shook his head slightly, feeling that Jindaiyu was putting on a bit of pretense.

It is undeniable that Shaved is powerful, but judging from the fighting intensity of Kazuki Kazuhide Hayakawa and Hashimoto Ryoma, it is not enough to defeat Kazuhide Hayakawa's 'Zen Shou' head-on.

"Hey, you bastard, I've been putting up with you for a long time!!" Asakusa Izumi pointed at Natsume Yoichi angrily, and said, "My brother Yu said he can, so who are you showing?!"

"Sorry, I just thought of some funny things, I didn't mean anything against you." Xia Muyang smiled, he looked very calm, neither angry nor arguing, he looked calm, against Asakusa Izumi is suspected of biting people.

This made Izumi Asakusa very angry. He rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to die with him, but was held back by Kamishiroha.

"Okay, Caoquan, stop making trouble." Jin Daiyu didn't want to argue, and it was his business whether to fight or not. It has nothing to do with others, and it has nothing to do with Xia Muyang. Be impatient with him.

Kayoko held Jindai's hand, she believed in her boyfriend unconditionally, if he said he could, he would!

Maki Kujo raised her legs gracefully. Among the people sitting here, she felt that she was the only one who knew the "details" of Kamiyoha. Unfortunately, she promised to keep the secret for him.

……

The match between Hainan Kendo Club and Jingxin Kendo Club ended in less than half an hour. Kubota Eita of Jingxin Kendo Club led his team to win and advanced to the second round!

Immediately afterwards, the Hainan Kendo Club and the Ishikawa Kendo Club competed for the third and fourth places, and there was no suspense in the result. Kyosuke Tsumura, who was exhausted by Kazuhide Hayakawa, lost unfortunately and only got No.4.

Then, there is the championship and runner-up competition!

When confirming the order of appearance, Eita Kubota deliberately staggered the order and successfully avoided the duel with Kazuhide Hayakawa.

He felt that Kazuhide Hayakawa was formidable, but his kendo was of the defensive style. If he were randomly assigned a level 3 kendo player, he would probably only win by 1 point, and he faced the opponent's kendo level 3 or 4. Level, at least it is a big victory, so that the points of both sides can be opened!
The fact is also as he expected, when the competition reached the last round, the Jingxin Kendo Club successfully took the lead with a slight advantage of 1 point!

However, this was of no use. In the last game, Kazuhide Hayakawa made his finale appearance and successfully defeated his opponent with a defensive approach, winning a small victory by 1 point.

The two sides are tied!

There is no such thing as a "double yolk egg" for the overall champion of the kendo competition. Since there is a tie, there will be an extra match!
Eita Kubota looked at Kazuhide Hayakawa who entered the arena calmly, his face turned dark.

He tried his best, but in the end he still had to meet the tortoise, Kazuhide Hayakawa. It was simply...

He wanted to admit defeat, but he had come to this point, he was really not reconciled, so he bit the bullet and played, and in the end, he tried his best, but he still lost.

At the end of the competition, Mizutani declared loudly the championship of the National College Kendo Competition...Tokyo Kaisei Kendo Club! !
The audience was not very interested, and the applause was sparse.

In their eyes, this final championship and runner-up battle is a bit like the NBA team that won the championship with defense in the last century. Although it is strong, it is really not very interesting to watch.

If it wasn't for the closing exhibition match, they would all want to leave early!
……

The award for the champion will be presented by the winner of the closing exhibition match. Mizutani rushed to let the two kendo clubs take a break. Then, he looked up at the referee's seat and motioned for the chief referee to say a few words.

When Nishiyama Shengya turned on the microphone, the deputy referee who was a high-ranking Tokyo official next to him handed over a brand new speech and looked at him expectantly.

Unfortunately, Nishiyama Sage also pushed back the speech, and then he directly announced the start of the closing exhibition match.

Although a little unwilling, the deputy referee who was a high-ranking official in Tokyo could only follow his words and invite the two guests of the closing exhibition match.

The first person he introduced was Natsume Yoichi.

"Natsume Yoichi, Captain of the Navy, under the Seventh Division of the Navy's First Fleet, the next great swordsman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

"It actually invited the captain of the navy. The competition party has spent a lot of money."

"The great swordsman's slash can tear the sky apart, hey, this arena won't be shredded by him, right?"

"Now I'm looking forward to what kind of fruit ability user can become the opponent of the great swordsman."

"Could it be the natural system?"

"Idiot, how could someone with natural abilities come here to play the invitational tournament?"

The audience chatted.

On the competition seat, Natsume Yang got up together, looked down at Kujo Maki's beautiful and delicate face, smiled, took off his suit and put it on the seat, then, he jumped off the fence and entered the arena gracefully.

The LCD screen projected his image in real time, and the audience applauded instantly.

After the applause fell, the deputy referee who was a high-ranking official in Tokyo announced another guest for the closing exhibition match: the next great swordsman Mori Osamu who was born in the Shenyi style!
As soon as the words fell, the discussion on the court suddenly exploded.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that there was a swordsman and an ability user in the closing exhibition?"

"Why are both of them sword masters?"

"Although watching the two great swordsmen slash each other is very interesting, but I still want to see the capable ones!"

On the competition table, Kamyoha's heart moved, and he asked Kujo Maki: "Mr. Kujo, is Mr. Natsume a capable person?"

He felt that since the competition party had promised that the exhibition match would be a swordsman versus a capable person, it was unlikely to break his promise. In this case, one of the two great swordsmen must be a capable person.

As soon as Natsume Yang was born in the navy, it is relatively easier to get a devil fruit!

"I don't know." Kujo Maki pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, she leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said, "I'm actually not familiar with him..."
