"It's incredible that such a young and beautiful girl reached the finals."
"A player from this county or city can reach the finals. The kendo strength in that city is too weak."
"Fart, Takashima, she is our Saga Prefecture's number one in this year's kendo qualifiers, Tachibana Haruko." A slender man said coldly.
"What, she is the number one in Saga Prefecture? Fujiwara-kun, are you telling the truth? Could it be that even you were defeated by him?" Many people around the slender man were surprised.
Although Saga Prefecture is the smallest prefecture in Kyushu, it is close to Tokyo and its kendo strength is not weak. There are people who enter the top 30 almost every year. This Fujiwara Hide is a famous kendo genius in Saga Prefecture. Last year he was
I have broken into the top 30, even though I was only ranked 29th, but considering that there are more than 100 contestants, being able to break into the top 30 is already a good achievement.
Fujiwara Hide nodded with an ugly expression. It was a shame to be defeated by a girl who was much younger than her, but as a swordsman, he couldn't lie.
After receiving Fujiwara's confirmation, all the contestants showed a hint of shock.
Immediately, many people howled like wolves.
"It's incredible. Is there any hope for her to break into the top 30 this year?"
"It's really great. I finally found my ideal partner. Such an outstanding and like-minded kendo girl is my most ideal partner."
"You can pull her down. Don't scare people with your big face. Only an outstanding and handsome kendo boy like me can match her."
"Go to hell, don't let me meet you in the game, otherwise I will kill you."
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? If the rules didn't allow it, I could duel with you right now..."
Haruko didn't expect that she would cause a lot of commotion as soon as she appeared.
These contestants are all young people with strong energy. They usually encounter few women in the dojo, and even fewer are beautiful women who practice swordsmanship.
This immediately made Haruko a scarce resource.
Therefore, when Haruko finished reporting her name and walked out, many contestants immediately surrounded her and introduced themselves.
"Hello, I am Takeno Toyota from Akita Prefecture. I am the number one in the Akita Prefecture qualifiers today and the twenty-first in last year's Kendo Competition."
"I am Matsuyama from Aichi Prefecture, and my father is the governor of Aichi Prefecture. How about we make friends?"
"Miss Haruko, I felt very kind-hearted as soon as I saw you. We should have met before. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. My father is a ninth-dan master of swordsmanship and the owner of Kanagawa Yoshizawa Dojo..."
I saw a group of men suddenly appearing.
Qingzi was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red immediately. She usually spent almost all her spare time training, and had never been in love, let alone faced such a scene.
I just felt panicked and scared, and I didn't feel calm and calm like in the sword dojo field at all.
Subconsciously, he hid behind the dragon: "Brother, what are they going to do?"
Long glanced at them lightly, took Qingzi's hand and walked aside: "Ignore these breeding pigs in heat."
"Who do you think is in heat?"
"Damn, are you insulting me?"
"Asshole, who is this guy? He actually dares to hold Miss Haruko's white and tender hand. That will be my private property in the future!"
"I'm going to fight you, you blind fellow."
No matter how much these guys screamed, Long paid no attention to them. Although he could kill them all with one hand, who would care about a few ants with their teeth and claws bared.
What's more, he doesn't need to take action.
A guard had already heard the noise here and came to stop it.
"Please stop arguing, and don't start fighting, otherwise you will be immediately disqualified from the competition."
Under the cold shouts of the guards, everyone stopped and could only kill the dragon with their eyes.
The organizer is the Juggernaut Palace, so even contestants with extraordinary family backgrounds would not dare to contradict it.
"Brother, these people are really scary." After walking out of the crowd, Haruko whispered.
"That's because you have grown up, Haruko, and are full of charm." Long smiled.
"Brother, even you make fun of me." Haruko stomped her foot hard and covered her face in embarrassment.
Long rubbed her head: "I'm not making fun of you. You have to have confidence in yourself."
Although Haruko is not a beautiful woman in the usual sense, her facial features are exquisite. She has practiced kendo since she was a child, which makes her figure very perfect. Her delicate appearance is mixed with a touch of perseverance, and her temperament of both strength and softness makes her very beautiful.
She attracts men's attention more than ordinary girls.
"What's wrong?" Tachibana Yukimura just ran to the side to watch the competition system.
"Father, no, it's nothing." Haruko quickly put down her hands nervously.
Tachibana Yukimura glanced at Long suspiciously, and then at Haruko, whose face was red. His expression was a little stiff, and he handed over a form and said: "Haruko, this is the competition form, you can take a look at it later."
"Okay." Haruko took the form.
Long also took a look.
The competition system is actually very simple. The competition is divided into three days. The first day is the group stage, the second day is the knockout stage, and the third day is the final.
The competition format is very tight.
Especially on the first day of the group stage, all contestants were divided into thirty-two groups of five people each, and only the group leader could advance to the knockout rounds.
A group of five people has to play four games every day. In addition to testing the players' strength, physical strength is also a big problem.
In order to ensure that strong players are not eliminated prematurely.
The top 32 players in last year's competition will be seeded and assigned to each group. If someone is over the age limit or does not participate, one person will become the seeded player.
In other words, if you want to qualify for the group stage on the first day, you must beat at least one of the top 32 seeded players last year.
If you are unlucky, you may directly meet last year's champion.
This shows how cruel the competition system is.
So for most people, the group stage is actually over.
While Haruko and others were looking at the competition system and waiting, more and more people arrived, many of whom were well-known geniuses in the kendo world. In any field, geniuses always attracted much attention, just like stars.
Although I can reach the national finals and everyone present is a kendo genius in the prefecture and city area, I arrived in Tokyo, the biggest stage in the country.
Most people are just foils.
Only those geniuses who have won the top ten in kendo competitions are worthy of the title of star.
"Look, that's the ninth placer in last year's kendo competition, Terashima-senpai! We haven't seen him for a year, and he looks even scarier."
"Senior Udo is also here. Last year, Senior Udo's Golden Winged Bird King Sword ranked among the top six. It still gives me endless aftertaste."
As powerful figures appeared one after another, the focus of the scene also shifted to them.
After all, Haruko is just a newcomer. If she were not a beautiful girl, no one would pay attention to her. However, after all, this is a gathering of strong swordsmen. No matter how outstanding her appearance is, the strength of the sword still determines her status.
