Killing Spirits in Tokyo with Zanpakutō

Chapter 14 "Potential"

It turns out.

In reality, there are not so many beautiful kendo presidents in high schools in the island country. Naturally, it is impossible to have a bloody story about entering the kendo club for the first time and falling in love with the beautiful president.

After all, in terms of sports, the natural physical differences between boys and girls have already made it difficult for girls to beat boys.

However, as an instructor, Koizumi Saburo personally went to the court to test his own level, which was also a little bit beyond Dong Yunkong's expectations, but Dong Yunkong didn't hesitate too much. It is such a thing to be able to fight against a strong person in the seventh stage of kendo. ······ Just thinking about it makes people excited.

Quickly put on the protective clothing, picked up the wooden knife, Dong Yunkong came to the center of the gymnasium, and stood opposite Saburo Koizumi.

"Teacher, what I practice is the ancient school of swordsmanship, please be careful." The island country's swordsmanship can be roughly divided into two types: the ancient school that focuses on actual combat and the modern school that focuses on competitions. Since the ancient school of swordsmanship focuses on actual combat, it is natural You won't pay too much attention to the so-called rules of the game.

This is also the purpose of Dong Yunkong's warning in advance, because his attack later may not conform to the rules of the game, so he reminded Koizumi Saburo not to care too much about the rules.

Saburo Koizumi showed a slight surprise on his face under the mask. After all, there are not many people who are willing to learn ancient swordsmanship in modern society. This made him a little bit interested in Dong Yunkong for the first time.

"It's okay, just attack it." The still warm and calm voice came from under the mask.

When Dong Yunkong heard the words, he held a knife in his hands and stood in the middle of the posture, and said in his mouth: "I'm offended!"

next second.

Dong Yunkong quickly approached Koizumi Saburo, then slid in front of him with a sliding step, raised the wooden knife high, and slashed down on the head, launching the first attack.

Snapped!

Without the slightest suspense, the wooden knife was firmly blocked. Dong Yunkong even felt that what he was chopping was not a wooden knife, but a huge rock. Both arms were slightly numb.

Dong Yunkong was shocked. You must know that the knife he just used was not simply a force from his arm, it was a knife with the strength of his body leaning forward to gather the strength of his whole body, but it was this kind of attack that even made Saburo Koizumi The wooden knife can't even shake it. Could it be that the seventh-dan level of kendo is really so strong?

There were many thoughts in his heart, but the movement of Dong Yunkong's hand was not slow. The blow failed, and Dong Yunkong quickly took a step back. At the same time, holding the knife in both hands, a thrust went straight to Koizumi Saburo's throat. ·····

This blow instantly made the hearts of the surrounding club members who had gathered around to watch the excitement jump, and they let out a low voice, and even Hayato Uesugi couldn't help but move his eyelids.

Dong Yunkong's attack was too dangerous, and at the same time, the speed of his sword was unexpectedly fast. Compared with their usual practice, Dong Yunkong's attack was not like a competition at all, but more like fighting on a real battlefield.

People around watching the play exclaimed again and again, but in fact Saburo Koizumi, one of the protagonists, faced Dong Yunkong's blow, and didn't even open his eyes under the mask. He just slid back slightly and turned his head slightly. , easily dodged Dong Yunkong's thrust.

Seeing this, Dong Yunkong's black and white eyes under the mask flashed, and the next moment, he saw the wooden knife in his hand suddenly turned ninety degrees, and the ultra-round blade pointed horizontally at Koizumi Saburo.

Swish!

The afterimage of the wooden knife cut across Saburo Koizumi's neck. At the critical moment, Saburo Koizumi took another step back, avoiding the blow dangerously.

"foul!"

Someone in the crowd saw Dong Yunkong's knife, and immediately couldn't help shouting, but just as his words sounded, he saw someone next to him slap him on the forehead.

"Idiot, Dong Yunsang already said before the competition that he practiced ancient swordsmanship, which is naturally different from the swordsmanship I am learning now."

······

The conversation between the two was just a small episode.

Neither Dong Yunkong nor Koizumi Saburo heard the voice outside the field at all, because just after Koizumi Saburo stepped back for the second time, Dong Yunkong suddenly approached Koizumi Saburo with one step as if he had abandoned all defenses The distance in front of him was no more than one meter, and then he raised his knife frantically and launched a continuous chopping attack.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

······

The astonishing sound of continuous collisions resounded throughout the gymnasium, and everyone outside the arena stared wide-eyed, watching Dong Yunkong's every strike down, forcing Koizumi Saburo back a bit.

Saburo Koizumi's squinted eyes under the mask opened for the first time since he saw Dong Yunkong, and the color of surprise flickered in his pupils.

He was shocked, because he never thought that he would see "momentum" in a high school student. Although this "momentum" is still weak and not concise enough, there is no doubt that this "momentum" is indeed It really does exist...

If Saburo Koizumi only defended and did not attack at the beginning because he had the confidence to deal with Dong Yunkong easily, then now he only defends and does not attack simply because he is no longer able to launch a counterattack.

The so-called swordsmanship, after practicing to a high level, the thing of practice is no longer pure skill or strength. At that time, what the swordsman cultivates is "will", "heart", and "power"... ·

The last time Saburo Koizumi felt a similar power was when he sparred with his father three years ago. It happened to be the time when his father inherited the family gym from his grandfather. At that time, although he had passed the seventh-dan level of kendo, he couldn't even persist for a minute in the hands of his father.

It was no longer simply a difference in skills or physical fitness, but that he was no different from a child in the hands of his father at that time, as if his whole body was full of flaws.

Now facing Dong Yunkong's offensive, although Saburo Koizumi did not have the illusion that his whole body was full of flaws, he felt that everything around him seemed to be attacking him at the same time, and even the air he usually breathed seemed to be his own body. Like the enemy of the enemy, Dong Yunkong is just a simple slash, but it makes Koizumi Saburo a little breathless.

······

Naturally, Dong Yunkong would not know Koizumi Saburo's feelings at this time. He only knew that his attack seemed to have become smoother just for a moment, and the wooden knife in his hand seemed to contain infinite power. feelings.

This is the first time that Dong Yunkong has used "Brazy Beast Sword Technique" to fight against people. Although he doesn't know what the real "Brazy Beast Sword Technique" is like, he vaguely feels that he has grasped a little bit of "Brazy Beast Sword Technique". The essence of "Beast Style Swordsmanship".

slap, slap, slap...

The sound of wooden knives clashing in the gymnasium became louder and louder.

The people around watching the battle didn't know when it started, and they also became quiet. Naturally, the club members here couldn't see the "momentum" condensed on Dong Yunkong's body at this time. They just simply felt that Dong Yunkong was full of power at this moment The strong oppressive force gave them the illusion that they couldn't breathe.

Saburo Koizumi struggled more and more to resist, and at the end, his arms didn't even start to tremble slightly when each blow fell. In his eyes, every time Dong Yunkong slashed, he would gather a "momentum" for himself, And once this "momentum" gathers to a certain level, even he cannot resist Dong Yunkong's attack.

A crisp sound!

Saburo Koizumi took another step back, his eyes under the mask had already widened to the maximum, he knew that he could not drag on like this, if he hadn't retreated in the beginning of this battle, Dong Yunkong's "momentum" would not be able to accumulate, but the world There is no if at all, and every minute the current battle is delayed, it will be more dangerous for him.

In fact, Koizumi Saburo himself is not the kind of person who has a strong desire to win, but the current location is wrong. If he loses in other places, he will lose, but if he is defeated by a student who just joined the club here, after that, He is not good at doing the ideological work of the club members.

Boom!

Taking a step back with his right foot, Saburo Koizumi was about to grit his teeth and forcefully interrupt Dong Yunkong's "momentum" by relying on his superior physical fitness.

However, in the next second, an accident happened.

Dong Yunkong had already held the wooden knife high, and was about to chop off his No.30 second combo, but this time he had just swung the knife halfway, and suddenly, the wooden knife in his hand flew out, and He himself also knelt on one knee on the ground, raised his hands high, and put on a posture similar to "proposing marriage".

Saburo Koizumi: "???"

Club student: "?????"
