That's what you say, but it is the biggest shame in our Japanese kendo community. By saying this, aren't you building up other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige? Tachibana Yukimura said.
However, losing is losing, and winning is winning. Now that I have arrived, the Sword Master is still besieging with others. It is not an upright one-on-one fight, and he is defeated in the end. It is okay to admit defeat. If you even lose, you will not have the courage.
Admit it, isn't that self-deception? Haruko showed an expression of disapproval.
Tachibana Yukimura said: Of course I know, but the sword master is besieging the strongest man on the list of gods. He exists like a god and is different from us ordinary people. We should not speculate on the intentions of the gods.
Even gods are cultivated by humans. Just because you have high cultivation level, you don't have to follow the rules. Haruko said stubbornly.
Tachibana Yukimura looked helpless, he knew that his daughter had a stubborn character.
This kind of unwillingness to admit defeat is a good thing in kendo, but it is easy to suffer losses in the world. He was like this back then. He was unwilling to bow to the Miyamoto family, the first family in kendo, and in the end his hands were disabled.
.
Haruko, let’s not discuss this issue now. The competition will start soon. Let’s go in first. Also, don’t mention the matter of Master Swordsman inside. Tachibana Yukimura warned.
Tachibana Haruko nodded silently, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in her eyes.
Wait, I want to ask, you said that White Bird Dragon was defeated and his body was destroyed. Is he still alive? Long asked.
Seeing Long asking again, Tachibana Yukimura looked around and lowered his voice and said: Mr. Long, there is no one here now. I can tell you that the Sword Master has indeed besieged the Chinese God of War, and only his soul escaped back. A few days ago
The whole country mourned, and even the emperor showed up at the Kensei Palace. This was something everyone knew.
Then I want to see him and go to the Juggernaut Palace? Long asked.
Tachibana Yukimura was speechless for a long time. Although this man's memory has recovered, his brain circuit is still different from that of a normal person. He took a breath and said: Mr. Long, I mean, you can't see him, that's
You can't even enter the Sword Master's Palace if you want to meet even the Emperor.
Long smiled lightly and said nothing.
Seeing that Ryu no longer mentioned the Sword Master, Tachibana Yukimura breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly led the two of them into the Kendo Hall.
The Kendo Hall was already crowded with people.
The annual kendo competition is a grand event in the kendo world, so it naturally attracts countless celebrities from the kendo world, including some big names in the secular world, who will also come here.
Shiratori Kendo Hall is the largest kendo hall in Japan, with a capacity of 20,000 people.
Now, most of the seats are occupied.
However, Tachibana Haruko was a contestant, so she walked through the contestant aisle, and the three of them entered the waiting area directly.
Some seats are also divided here for the contestants' backup personnel to sit. After all, each contestant will basically bring a team in.
Thirty-two temporary arenas have been set up in the huge area inside.
At this time, most of the contestants have already arrived and are on the sidelines, either doing warm-up training, listening to the instructor's on-the-spot guidance, or just sitting quietly and waiting.
Not long after Tachibana Yukimura and the others walked in, they met Kurokawa Nobuaki.
Of course he had to personally supervise such an important competition and provide on-the-spot guidance.
Tachibana Yukimura and others pretended not to see them and wanted to walk over. Kurokawa Shota's voice sounded: It's such a pity that I didn't draw you. I could have given you some guidance in the sword dojo.
Although he didn't name anyone in this sentence, Qingzi obviously knew that he meant it to her.
She stopped, turned around, and said coldly: There will be a chance, I hope you won't be eliminated so early.
Kurokawa Shota laughed: It’s really getting cuter and cuter.
Yukimura-kun, your daughter is exactly the same as you were back then, with a character that refuses to admit defeat. Unfortunately, sometimes, in this world, the more unwilling a person is to admit defeat, the more likely they will end up with a bloody head. Kurokawa Nobuaki said lightly.
Tachibana Yukimura clenched his fists, and his hands, which had had their hand tendons broken, still ached faintly. He said expressionlessly: "If you don't bother, let's go, Haruko."
He pulled Qingzi and left quickly. If he stayed here again, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but do something.
Long glanced at Kurokawa Nobuaki and Kurokawa Shota lightly, said nothing, and left Manbu.
As everyone arrived, at ten o'clock, an old man of about sixty years old from the Sword Saint Palace appeared, gave a brief speech, and announced the start of the kendo competition.
All contestants must enter.
At this time, apart from the team members, only the instructor can come to the ring.
Haruko, come on. Tachibana Yukimura said solemnly.
Haruko said seriously: Father, I will not let you down.
After saying that, she stood up, and Ryuu also stood up. He had said that he would replace Tachibana Yukimura as Haruko's mentor. The two of them passed through a passage and entered the No. 10 arena.
At this time, four other people also arrived at the ring.
Seeing Haruko, the four contestants all showed a faint smile. It seemed that they no longer needed to be at the bottom, and with a beautiful kendo girl as their opponent, today's competition finally had a little more fun.
Although Haruko qualified first in Saga Prefecture.
But because she is too young, others will still subconsciously regard her as a vase.
Moreover, in this group, except Kato Shinichi, the other three are all veterans who participated in last year's competition, and their strength is not weak.
A referee came over.
He took the list and said: Later, everyone in the group will play a game with others. A win will get two points, a draw will get one point, and the one with the highest score will advance.
In the first scene, Shinichi Kato and Yuta Ida.
Ida Yuta's face changed slightly when he heard the name. He didn't expect that in the first game, he would be playing against the seeded player Kato Shinichi. He stood up with a slightly depressed expression. On the other side, Kato Shinichi had no expression on his face.
The two people walked to the kendo ring, bowed to each other, and then the referee sounded the gong.
The two people immediately took action.
Ida Yuta drew his sword and slashed wildly. Kato Shinichi quickly turned aside, and then slashed diagonally with his sword, bang!
Yuta Ida flew into the air and flew directly down from the ring.
Instant kill!
The expressions of the other two people below changed. They were so strong. They knew that Kato Shinichi was the eleventh last year and was very strong, but they didn't expect that the gap was so big. Ida Yuta was actually killed instantly.
Kato Shinichi is much better than last year, and he is definitely in the top ten this year.
This shocked their confidence and their faces fell.
Haruko looked at the stage. She was not like the other two people whose faces changed drastically and looked like they were crying. Instead, she was thoughtful, as if she was recalling Kato Shinichi's sword. After a moment, a trace of confidence appeared in the corner of her mouth.
