Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 186 183. The first day of the schedule

On the afternoon of the second day, in a large local gymnasium in Fukuoka City, the contestants participating in the Yulong Banner stood in the central arena in a uniform manner.There were no empty seats around, and the front row was densely packed with reporters like a human wall. The cameras made a dense "click" sound, and the flash lights were like stars.

Before the official competition, there will be the opening ceremony. In addition to the speeches full of polite words, introducing the referees of this competition and the big figures who came to watch the competition, there will also be an exhibition match, aiming to stir up the atmosphere and wish the players a prosperous future. , hit the ground running.

The "opening exhibition game" is not a special case of Yulong Banner. For example, there will be similar links in the opening ceremonies of major baseball games.Exhibition games often invite well-known figures to participate—whether they are industry celebrities, popular stars, social celebrities, or even Internet topic figures.

In this year's exhibition competition, the competition invited the rumored "one-in-a-century swordsmanship genius", a talented young swordsman who was specially recruited by Gao Tianyuan Peak Academy in the name of "University Special Swordsman".

And his opponent was an outstanding kendo high school student elected locally in Fukuoka Prefecture, and his strength was obviously inferior to that national-level genius.But the exhibition match is just for the sake of shouting, and everyone just plays a fancy game for entertainment, and there is no need to fight to the death.

"I invite Akira Miyamoto from the private Takamahara Peak Academy to play against Minami Kazuki from Okishima High School in Fukuoka!"

Accompanied by the host's yelling, a heavily armed swordsman walked up on both sides of the ring, and some people in the outer auditorium began to make noise.

"Hehui, come on! Don't let outsiders look down on us!"

"Miyamoto-sama! Let's win magnificently!"

Both of them are well-known figures in the youth kendo world in Wano Country, so naturally many fans and friends came to cheer on the scene.

Following the whistle of the referee, the two people on the stage began to compete with swords in completely different postures.After a few moves, Akira Miyamoto clearly had the advantage, causing his opponent to retreat steadily.But he knows how to measure, he hits the limit every time he attacks, and he doesn't crush his opponent to death like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves. Obviously he doesn't want to embarrass this "Fukuoka genius" too much. Divide into thin noodles.

After more than a dozen rounds of dazzling competition, Akira Miyamoto walked around to the opponent's side with a "shrinking ground" move, shouted loudly, and slashed on the opponent's helmet gorgeously.

Knowing that the overall situation was settled, Nan Hehui stopped resisting, simply put down his bamboo sword and took two steps back, respectfully bowing and admitting defeat.

Amidst the cheers and applause of the audience, the two bowed to the auditorium and contestants, and then left in two directions.

The opening ceremony ended perfectly, followed by the official competition.

Makoto Kyushu and Eihime Mizuhashi sat on the coach seats, watching the heroic appearance of Xiujin's students on the field.

"Everyone, do your best, and don't leave any regrets!" Before the game, Kyushu gathered the boys together for a mobilization meeting:
"I've worked so hard to train for so long, and traveled thousands of miles across most of the Wano country to come here, don't get kicked out of the preliminaries two days ago!"

"Oh! Kyushu students, please rest assured, we will not let you down!" The boys stood in a row with high spirits and responded loudly.

On the girls side, Hideki Mizuhashi helped mobilize.

"Well, everyone, although I can't help you all, I will do my best to cheer for you!" Eiji Mizuhashi held her breath, and her timid tone was very cute:
"I will keep in touch with Teacher Ushimaru. If he has any suggestions for you, I will convey them as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about us, Mizuhashi-chan~" A third-year senior sister rubbed Eiji Mizuhashi's head affectionately, and then told everyone:

"The first match is about to start, everyone hurry to the arena, if you are too late, you will be judged as a loser."

What followed was the fierce competition time. There were frequent crackling sounds of bamboo swords clashing and blood churning shouts from various arenas, but there was no cheering.

It seems that the kendo competition stipulates that the winner cannot cheer loudly, otherwise he will disrespect the opponent and do not conform to kendo etiquette. In serious cases, he will be directly sentenced to lose.

Therefore, most players will try their best to restrain their joy after winning, silently bow to their opponents and then leave quickly.

Taking advantage of the competition time of the contestants, Kyushu took out the "Guide to Kendo Sports" booklet from the gymnasium, and learned the rules of kendo from scratch, just as a way to pass the time.

Hidehime Mizuhashi used her mobile phone to make video calls with Ushiwakamaru, who is far away in Osaka, and broadcast the game to him in real time.

"Yeah, Nishihara-san's move is good. It seems that today's performance is very good." Teacher Ushiwakamaru sat in the corner of the coffee shop, sipping coffee from time to time, and evaluated seriously:

"What happened to Sakurano-san just now? He actually showed such a big flaw! Go tell him to be serious and pay more attention to the defense on the left side! If he dares to lose in the preliminaries, I will never spare him!"

Eihime Mizuhashi is young and at a very energetic age. She has been running around in various arenas desperately, conveying the advice of teacher Ushiwakamaru to the players of the school, and bringing them tea and water by the way.

Makoto Kyushu couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down the brochure he had finished reading, reached out to take the pile of mineral water bottles that Junior Sister Mizuhashi held in her arms, and said:

"I'll send the rest, you take a rest."

"Thank you, senior!" Eiji Mizuhashi's legs were so sore that she slumped down on the chair.

The noise in the gymnasium continued until the evening, and the first day of qualifiers finally came to an end.Some people were overjoyed and called their family and friends to announce the good news; others left the venue dejectedly, staggering as if they were about to sink into the concrete floor.

On Xiujin Academy's side, no matter whether it was the team competition or the individual competition, all members advanced, and no one was kicked out. The team was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In fact, Xiujin Academy's past record in kendo is not outstanding, and the certificates in the kendo hall can be counted with one hand, and most of them are just small awards.However, the school has started recruiting special kendo students in the past two years, and has focused on cultivating kendo projects, which has improved the overall quality of the school's kendo department a lot.

And this year's Jade Dragon Flag competition is also the school's intention to take this opportunity to test the results.Not to mention winning the grand prize in this international competition and being famous all over the country, no matter how you say it, you have to enter the finals, get some small prizes and rankings, and let the school be on the list.

"It's really hard work, do you want to celebrate with eel rice today?" A boy suggested: "Eel rice is a specialty of Kyushu, and it is served with mentaiko and hot spring soup tofu as a side dish. Just thinking about it makes people greedy I can't stand it~"

"You can, but don't eat too much, and don't drink strange drinks indiscriminately, so as not to spoil your stomach." A girl nodded and looked at Jiuzhou Cheng suggestively.

Last night, Eihime Mizuhashi explained to the girls that Kyushu Makoto passed out in the hot spring after eating "Roshan Ramen".Although she said this just to smooth things over for the seniors, it also successfully caused the girls to have a strange misunderstanding about Kyushu Makoto.

Everyone made up their minds, and on the recommendation of the hotel owner, they went to a nearby restaurant known as a "hundred-year-old restaurant" for dinner.

After the meal, the participating students went back to the hotel to rest.With yesterday's experience, this group of boys had cast a shadow on the hot spring, so they simply took a quick wash in the shower room and then lay down on the bed.

"Senior, shall we go out for a walk?" Today's night is beautiful, the Big Dipper can be seen in the pure sky, and Hideki Mizuhashi suppresses the throbbing in her heart, taking the opportunity to invite.

"No problem." Jiuzhou Cheng was a little stuffed, so he was naturally willing to go out for a walk.

Anyway, he has already left a phone number for the students in the Kendo Department, and if something happens, contact him, and he will rush back with the knife as soon as possible.

"Senior, can I hold your hand?" Hideki Mizuhashi nodded slightly and asked cautiously.

"." Makoto Kyushu thought for a while and asked, "Is it a simulated date again?"

If it wasn't for Mizuhashi's light novel career, Kyushu Makoto would not keep too close to girls frequently, otherwise it would be bad for the reputation of both parties.

"Well, yes! Yes!" Mizuhashi Eiji Chickie nodded: "Senior, are you willing?"

"That's it." Makoto Kyushu decisively held the junior girl's hand: "Then what are you going to do next, Ying-chan?"

"Just walk around." Being called out like this, Hideki Mizuhashi blushed again, and leaned limply on the arm of her senior.

The two wandered aimlessly for a period of time without doing anything special, just enjoying the street scene at night and chatting with each other.

"Senior." Suddenly, Eiji Mizuhashi called softly.

"What's wrong?" Kyushu asked.

"That. That is to say." She looked a little nervous, and kept swallowing:

"Can seniors kiss me again?"

Makoto Kyushu looked at her strangely, recalling that he had indeed kissed Mizuhashi-senior on the forehead at the suggestion of Suzumiya Kaoru.

But after thinking about it, this kind of behavior is really a bit out of line for "ordinary students".

That is because Mizuhashi's situation is special, and she needs to get information through "dating", otherwise Makoto Kyushu would never wrong himself and make such an intimate move with a girl who would never like it.

Seeing the senior hesitate, Hidehime Mizuhashi said shyly:
"Actually... I have encountered a bit of a bottleneck in writing recently, so I wondered if I could ask senior to use this method to motivate me again... Well, it's quite selfish to say that, senior. If you mind, you can refuse, don't force it of."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

Anyway, helping once is also helping, helping twice is also helping, this kind of effort is indifferent to Jiuzhou Cheng.

"Do you want to be here directly?" Jiuzhou Cheng confirmed again and again: "Or..."

The two are now in a crowded downtown street, and kissing here will inevitably have a bad effect.

"Let's... go to the side?" Mizuhashi Yingji pointed to a narrow street with no people nearby.

The two walked into the street hand in hand, Kyushu Cheng saw that there was no one around, so with a calm heart, he gently kissed her forehead that exudes a faint fragrance.

"Is this okay?" Kyushu Makoto confirmed.

"Hmm..." Eiji Mizuhashi nodded and smiled, clutching her throbbing chest with both hands, her blushing complexion was perfectly covered by the night: "Thank you, senior."

"By the way, senior, please let me return the gift if possible..." Hidehime Mizuhashi took a few breaths to calm down, and prepared to return the kiss according to the routine last time.

The two are not in a relationship now, and there is no way to even make it clear-once the words are made clear, Jiuzhou Cheng will definitely refuse decisively, so as not to "delay the girl's future".

However, since Teacher Ushiwakamaru was willing to teach her martial arts, Eihime Mizuhashi gradually gained confidence.

As long as I continue to work hard, I will one day be able to meet the requirements of my predecessors and become a girl worthy of him.

But before that, Senior Suzuki gave her a suggestion, which is to "do everything that should be done between lovers".

In this way, when Eiji Mizuhashi is qualified to confess to Kyushu Makoto, the relationship between the two has already been glued to each other, and there is no need to spend time getting in touch.

A good man like Kyushu Makoto will definitely be infatuated by countless girls.So if you want to win in this war called love, you have to be a little careful.

Eiji Mizuhashi hadn't finished speaking, but found that Makoto Kyushu's eyes had already fallen on a bookstore not far away.

She followed the eyes of her seniors, only to find that in front of the comic booth at the entrance of the bookstore, a girl with a single ponytail was concentrating on choosing comic books.

"Hey, this is the cool sister from yesterday!" Eiji Mizuhashi recognized her immediately: "Is it Qing Gong Elizabeth?"

"Huh? You know her too?" Jiuzhou Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because Senior seems to know her, I'm more curious. I chatted with her yesterday when I was in the hot spring." Hideki Mizuhashi replied:

"Her expression has always been stern, and she looks a little scary, but we accidentally got a little chat. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to spy on the senior's network"

"It's good that she didn't bully you." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded.

"That. Speaking of which," Hideki Mizuhashi suddenly had a guess in her mind, and timidly asked:
"Senior, do you prefer a cold girl like her?"

Hearing this, Jiuzhou Cheng immediately frowned and shook his head in disgust: "I don't like getting along with people with that kind of personality, it's so awkward, it's very uncomfortable."

If Kyushu Makoto had to choose between Mizuhashi Yingji and Qinggong Eliza, he would rather choose the former.Mizuhashi-san was like a piece of soft and sticky glutinous rice dumpling, while Eliza was a gloomy and damp log.The soft and delicate character of the former is not only a bit clingy, but also cute and likable.The latter's character is inscrutable, he hides everything in his heart so that no one will know, it's not considered arrogant, he just keeps everyone away, and if he wants to hug him forcibly, he will only Get dirty.

But as his colleague and industry leader, Kyushu Cheng does not mind continuing to maintain a friendship with Eliza.After all, this little girl has a good heart, which is enough for Kyushu Makoto.

Eliza also noticed the two of them and reached out to say hello.

"Oh, are you guys dating~?" Eliza teased in a sneer-like tone.

"No, I just walked around casually." Jiuzhou Cheng replied naturally, without any intention of hiding anything.

"Sister Elizabeth, good evening~" Eihime Mizuhashi smiled sweetly.

"Good evening, Yingji." Eliza twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled calmly.

"Are you... buying comic books?" Makoto Kyushu looked over and found that she was holding two comic books in her hand, a thick "Shounen Jump" and a "Weekly Shonen Champion".

"Shounen Jump" is the most famous weekly juvenile manga in Wano Country, and "Weekly Shonen Champion" is also a weekly juvenile manga, but the restrictions on manga themes are relatively loose, so there will be some more bloody and violent manga, this issue is still "Fan Ma Blade Ya" is the C character on the cover.

"What's the matter, can't you?" Eliza looked at him with dull fish eyes.

"Of course it doesn't matter, I'm just curious." Jiuzhou Cheng remembered that her dream was to become a cartoonist, so she could understand:

"It always feels a little different from your usual appearance."

"People like me buy this kind of thing in a bookstore, it feels like a drop in price, doesn't it?" Eliza snorted self-deprecatingly:
"But there's nothing I can do. I'm halfway through a business trip, and the new issue of the weekly magazine just happened to be released~"

Before she finished speaking, the cell phone in Eliza's pocket rang. She answered the call immediately, but her expression became a little serious:

"What. Happened again, near me? Well, I'll go over now. No problem, I'll keep an eye out."

She took out a large-denomination banknote, threw it to the comic stand, and shouted to the bookstore owner: "The money is out!" Then she hurried away with two comic books in her arms.
