Chapter forty-nine.
The Qiucheng Men's Jiandao Club led by Nanxiangshi went from the first to the second, and then to the Nanxiangshi behind, but still reached the semi-finals tenaciously and squeezed into the final...
This unexpected dark horse surprised many reporters present.
As for Qiucheng High School, they have heard of famous high schools and high school kendo level in the country for many years, and they can't even get it.
Who would have thought that this underserved horse would have changed its saddle this year and run very fast?
"Has I changed my coach?"
"Or does Qiucheng High School specialize in accepting some new kendo students?"
"I heard that Qiucheng High School has already studied the opponents of the national competition? Is this true?"
"What do you think of the Nanxiang players in your team?"
Looking at the reporters who were posing with long spears and short cannons in front of him, Ritsuo Kimizu was stunned for a while before he could barely come back to his senses: "No...sorry..."
To be honest, as the leader of Qiucheng High School, Rio Kimizu is still a little dizzy now.
Because at the beginning, not many people had any expectations for the Qiucheng Men's Kendo Club.
The school leader can tell that she only sent her here.
What other schools have consultants and coaches to arrange tactics...
There was nothing in Qiucheng High School. It symbolically prepared a set of kendo uniforms with the circular logo of "Qiucheng" even if it was full of righteousness.
But even the team that my school probably didn't care much about... to everyone's surprise... actually reached the finals.
"This kendo competition was mainly planned by students from Nanxiang to train these players. Our Qiucheng High School only invested in bringing them over to participate in the competition."
Ritsuo Shimizu explained.
"That is to say, the kendo coaches and consultants of the Qiucheng Men's Swordsman Team are all Nanxiang players?"
"So that's it."
"This is really a surprising thing."
Is Nanxiang so omnipotent?
No wonder I dared to say harshly when I was drawing lots, "Everyone here is rubbish"... It turns out that I am really capable.
These reporters were even happier. They were nicknamed Zhong Er and were all involved in Nanxiang.
The genius of swordsmanship, the young swordsmanship ghost of Kanto, and the beautiful teenager of swordsmanship, all the things you can think of are forced to be attached to Nanxiang.
When Nanxiang was sitting in front of him, he didn't know that his nickname fell from the sky.
At this time, he was watching the finals on the court with members of the Women's Kendo Club.
The opponent is Asakura High School in Chiba Prefecture.
This is an old Kendo High School. Last year, he lost to Arakawa High School by a difference of two points. He can be called a strong enemy of Aki Castle High School.
His captain Tanaka Yi even made a record of ten people in the battle to capture the flag of the Fukuoka Tamalong Banner, and he is a very few good player among high school students.
At the beginning of the game, a three-year-old opponent launched a fierce attack on Ishikami Kazuya as the pioneer.
I think the opponent also conducted a lot of research on Ishikami Kazuya and others. He knew that he was good at defensive counterattacks and planned to directly get the book with a fast attack.
At this stage, the players on both sides actually consumed almost 100% of their physical strength.
After all, Iron Man can't resist such high-intensity competitions.
Kazuya Ishikami is also good at defending and counterattacking, but he can still eat and live. He actually sprinted forward and scored a point, then returned to the starting line, confronted him again, cut sideways and won the first game with difficulty.
Nanxiang Shi nodded outside the court.
But the opponent's goal was also achieved. The next time the second striker changed to a stronger player, and the extremely consumed Kazuya Ishikawa was eliminated. Then, the second striker of Qiucheng High School was also cut off and took down the two.
Asakura High School has rich experience in the contest. In the third game, this striker wanted to delay time and focus on defense, and wanted to use the procrastination technique to create a draw.
But Qiucheng Men's Sword Club has been specially trained after a special training in Nanxiangshi.
Under a fast attack and defended fiercely, Asakura High School Jifeng couldn't bear the attack and was scored one point.
The duels were very intense, and the students below couldn't help but applaud.
In the end, Asakura High School players lost regretfully and then sent the center forward - still not their ace player, Tanaka Yuki.
Now everyone understood.
Asakura High School wants Tanaka Yi to preserve his energy and have the final battle with the general Minamigo Shi of Akigo High School.
The game continues.
"Qiucheng High School has entered the finals." Shirakawa Tomoka put down the questionnaire: "It's surprising. I took a look at last year's statistics. Qiucheng High School's kendo level is at the bottom of the national high school level. This year, he was able to reach the Kanto finals. Is it the new president of Nanxiang?"
"The Kanto final at Aki Castle High School is just not worth my attention."
Mai Khan did not answer Shirakawa Tomoka's question directly. She held her beautiful side face and looked down from a high point. Rather than watching the game, her movements seemed to be looking down at the entire competition.
Shirakawa Tomoka glanced over Mai's slightly anxious and shaking fair calves: "There's nothing to worry about... Is this what the young lady thinks, right?"
"That's right." Mai Khan waved her hand impatiently: "Tomoka, do you think there will be a win over there?"
Um...
I heard my master suddenly ask a question.
Shirakawa Tomoka recalled the other party’s speech that “it’s not worth caring about at all” and subconsciously replied: “I think it should be Asakura High School.”
Catering to the owner's hobbies, this is also a maid's job.
Pick.
My tender calves that were still shaking just now stopped.
"Why?" Mai Khan asked her expressionlessly.
"Asakura High School is a powerful Kendo school in Kanto region over the years. I have seen their training films on the Internet. It doesn't look like the amount of training that high school students can complete... so I think they can win."
"Hmph...this is just the most basic muscle training method, right? It's not a credential."
After being denied by his master so, Tomoka Shirakawa frowned and felt dissatisfied: "Asakura High School has always been a powerful Kendo school, and the honor of the Jade Dragon Banner successfully winning the flag."
"The reputation of history is also used to show off, and the strong Kendo School is just like this."
"They have specialized kendo coaches, consultants, and they also develop training methods."
"It's just that the amount of money is just that, the main thing that is devoted to the kendo is talent. Talent is the most important thing. People without talent work hard, this is the most tragic thing."
"..." Shirakawa Tomoka frowned. She said that just now to cater to her master.
Could it be that she made a mistake? Mai of Khan Gu is more supportive of Akigo High School?
"So is Miss Shengong more optimistic about Qiucheng High School led by Nanxiang classmate?" Shirakawa Tomoka reorganized his emotions, asked with his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered.
Her question was exchanged for Mai, the Shrine, who was too decisive and even replied in a concealed manner: "I haven't said that! What does it mean to be optimistic about Qiucheng High School led by Nanxiangshi?"
Shirakawa Tomoka didn't say anything, but he didn't understand it in his heart.
Recently, Miss Shengong's thoughts have become increasingly difficult to understand, and they are different from the cold Miss Shengong before.
"Where is the lady of the Goddess who is more supportive? I think the president of Nanxiang is really amazing, and it is obviously at the same level as other players on the field."
"Qiucheng High School is my alma mater. I must support Qiucheng High School more. As for Nanxiang Shi... it has nothing to do with me."
"Is that true? I know that President Nanxiang has nothing to do with Miss Shengong, but..."
Listening to the reason that Mai of the Shrine seemed to have deliberately made up an excuse, Shirakawa Tomoka turned to look at the competition venue below and reminded him: "The President of Nanxiang is on the court."
"It just so happened that I wanted to take a photo, Penghua, bring the camera over."
Mai Khan seemed to yawn indifferently, narrowed her long and narrow eyes, and then picked up the camera and pointed it at the competition venue.
“…”
