Futaba Makoto was also a little surprised that this transfer student would challenge him, but after hearing about his defeat of Ninomiya Ya, it was not very strange to have such thoughts.

After all, it is normal for people in the Kendo Club to be warlike.

"I know you are not from the kendo club, I just want to learn from each other." Ding Zhen said, "Please!"

"..." Futaba Cheng scratched his head after receiving such a formal request from the other party, "Sparring, I haven't touched a bamboo sword for a long time."

After all, we have been slashing with real swords in the past few days, and if we are distracted for a moment, we will get injured.

Using bamboo swords again, and still competing in kendo under the constraints of so many regulations, Futaba Makoto felt like he put down his ak47 and picked up the bubble gun to duel with others.

But even so...

The guy in front of me will probably lose miserably. After all, Futaba Makoto knows his own strength very well and is not blindly confident.

"Sorry, forget it, I'm not interested." Futaba Cheng said.

And if it casts a shadow on the other party, it won't be good for the school.

"Could it be that... Futaba-kun, are you scared?" At this time, Ding Zhen suddenly asked.

He took a step closer to Futaba Cheng and asked seriously: "Are you afraid? You're afraid that if you lose to me, you won't be so popular in school, and you're afraid that I will steal your limelight."

Futaba Makoto: "?"

"Really?" Ding Zhen's eyes opened wide as soon as the scene was played, and the gentle smile on his face was no longer there. His eyes that were pressing for answers were even a little penetrating.

Futaba Cheng: "..."

What is this guy talking about? Is he sick?

"I think you seem to have misunderstood something, and why should I confront you?" Futaba Cheng frowned when he heard the other party's tone becoming more and more unkind.

Tetsuya Takahashi, who was standing next to him, saw that the atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he also looked unhappy: "Hey, what do you mean?"

"Ah, sorry!"

At this time, Ding Zhen seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Once someone rejects a request, I can't control myself like this. I'm sorry."

"Um?"

Futaba Cheng saw the other person's sudden recovery and didn't care whether he was pretending. He shook his head and looked at Gong Bai Yuyou in his arms, "Why did you stay in front of the vending machine for so long just now?"

Gong Baiyuyou blinked her beautiful eyes, and then gently tapped the Coke with her finger.

"So that's it." Futaba Cheng walked to the vending machine, pressed two bottles of Coke respectively, and said with a smile, "If you are confused, just leave both."

Gong Baiyuyou gave a thumbs up expressionlessly.

It was at this time that Ding Zhen came to understand. It turned out that Gong Baiyuyou had been standing there for so long not because he didn't bring any money, but because he was struggling with which one to choose.

"Futaba-san, about the duel." Ichigo Dingzhen spoke again.

"Hey, you don't understand people? Cheng even said that he doesn't want to fight you anymore." After seeing the scene just now, Takahashi Tetsuya had already lost any good impression of Ding Zhen as a character, and he suddenly said angrily.

Said, "You also said that Cheng is afraid of not being popular. I think you are..."

"Okay Takahashi." Futaba Cheng called out to Takahashi Tetsuya.

Takahashi Tetsuya came to his senses and scratched his head: "A-Cheng."

"There's no need to be angry, it's just a trivial matter." Futaba Cheng shook his head. He didn't want to hurt the transfer student's self-confidence. After all, he was a special admissions student hired by the school at a high price. But Tetsuya Takahashi looked angry.

Not even what he wanted to see.

Futaba Makoto looked at Ichigo Dingzhen, and then said: "Let's have a duel after school in the afternoon, in the kendo club."

"Is it okay?"

As soon as Futaba Cheng finished speaking, Ding Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then showed a strange smile.

Because he was in the individual competition of the national high school kendo competition——
