You only care about the strategy

Chapter 283 Throwing Away the Kitchen Knife
As expected, Shiina Kiri's name was added to the list of students from Yuki High School participating in the kendo tournament.

In a team competition, he is the second striker, coming on stage after the vanguard, and is the second runner of the team.

Among the five positions, the pioneer is the opening player, the backbone is the core of the team, the deputy general undertakes important scoring tasks, and the main general is the last line of defense of the team.

As for the second striker, usually a stronger young player is assigned.

Take the Kendo Club of Yuki High School for example. There has always been an unwritten rule.

They will select a very outstanding junior from the first grade and arrange him as the "second striker" in major competitions such as the Yulong Banner.

It is a relatively precious resource that can increase newcomers' experience in major competitions and, to a large extent, avoid the situation of being a weakling in future major competitions.

However, this year's first grade "happened" to have no talented players.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, most of the so-called talented players are descendants of kendo families and have been studying kendo since childhood.

The results of the men's team of Yuki High School's Kendo Club in major competitions in recent years can be described as "dismal". Naturally, no one would be stupid enough to wade in and wade into the muddy water, hoping to drag four teams together in a big competition.

This is Tokyo, and there are so many high schools to choose from.

In this case, the "rising star" of the first grade this time is just a beginner who has only been exposed to kendo for a few years.

Under the arrangement of the deputy director of the kendo club, Terusuke Nakajima, Shiina Kiri had a more formal competition with him, which ended in a complete crushing victory.

Hitomi Hosokawa praised him highly after the match, calling him the second most talented kendo prodigy she had ever seen.

As for the first place, it is naturally the princess who has already left school.

At first, he was a little bit dissatisfied about having his place in the competition "taken away". After all, when he joined the club, he knew that the position of second forward in the team had always been held by first-year members.

But when I heard that Shiina Kiri had only been learning kendo for less than two weeks, I remembered that when I first started learning kendo for half a year, I couldn't even do the standard middle stance.

I was instantly overwhelmed with shame. Although I was still a little indignant, after all, the Kendo Club didn't have any explicit rules, so I had to give up.

In a blink of an eye, the final exams are over and the semester is coming to an end.

The first and second places in the grade were still taken by Class C of the second year, with the students from the two "rocket classes" catching up closely behind.

But this has nothing to do with Shingo Koizumi. After all, both Class A and Class C are his students. The one who should be anxious is the head teacher of the other "rocket class".

Perhaps because of this incident, Koizumi Shingo has been in a good mood recently.

In the last class of this semester, he took off his stern mask and allowed students to discuss freely.

"Shiina, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?" Fujita Hirotomo moved a stool and sat down to the right of Shiina Kiri's desk.

"What plan?" Shiina Kiri turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Fujita Hirotoshi continued to wink: "That's it."

Shiina Kiri: “?”

"The one who gets up early and runs four kilometers..."

Fujita Hirotoshi looked at him disappointedly, with an expression that said, "Brother, you don't understand my mind. There is really no tacit understanding between us."

He can't always talk about "how to become more mature and outstanding, so as to attract the attention of beautiful girls". That would be too embarrassing.

"Oh." Shiina Wu suddenly realized, "Yes, I get up at 4:30 in the morning and watch the morning news for half an hour to understand current affairs. At 5 o'clock, I do morning exercises for half an hour..."

Shiina Kiri said a lot of things seriously, and the time was planned until twelve o'clock in the evening.

As Fujita Hirotoshi listened, his expression became more and more serious. He felt that the price of becoming a strong man was too high. Only sleeping for more than four hours a day?

Just as he was about to grit his teeth and utter a passionate line, he caught a glimpse of the way Ito looked at the idiot.

"Shiina, you kid actually tricked me."

He was about to pounce on her shamefully, but was stopped by Shiina Kiri's eyes. He suddenly remembered that Koizumi Shingo was still sitting on the podium. "I won't tease you anymore. I have to attend the Kendo Club's training camp in a few days to prepare for the competition in early August."

He was quite concerned about this training camp. After all, he had been practicing alone these days and lacked practical experience.

He never saw Qingkongnai in his dreams again.

"The competition in early August, the Jade Dragon Flag?" Fujita Hirotoshi had an abstract expression that said you can't nod.

"Ah."

"What? You've only been in the Kendo Club for a short time... Never mind, never mind."

Fujita Hirotoshi waved his hands weakly, thinking of the things that happened with Shiina Kiri, which had become somewhat commonplace.

"Come on."

Shiina Kiri finally patted him on the shoulder. Everyone’s youth is precious.

Soon after, the school bell rang, announcing the successful completion of the first semester.

After packing up her things, Shiina Kiri looked up and saw Gensou Yuuka standing in front of the class monitor's seat in the front row. The two of them were whispering something while secretly looking at him.

He instantly became interested and walked towards the two of them, carrying his schoolbag.

"What are you two whispering about? Can I hear it?"

Gensou Yuuka met his gaze and quickly looked at Kobayakawa Ikki.

"No." Kobayakawa Ikki didn't give him any face and continued, "By the way, when I go to your house tomorrow, remember to clean it up so that the room doesn't stink.

Especially don’t let clumps of toilet paper appear in the trash can or at the bedside.”

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to my house to play?" Shiina Kiri automatically filtered out most of the words that would never appear.

Kobayakawa Ikki glared at him and said, "What's the problem?"

"No."

"Why are you standing here without you?"

"I...Jiexia still has to go to the broadcasting room."

Kobayakawa Ikki's tone today was too harsh. Although she had spoken to him like this before, Shiina Kiri always felt that this time was different.

She is hiding something.

Or maybe both of them are hiding something.

"I'll go with her." Kobayakawa Kazuki replied without thinking.

Shiina Kiri looked at Gensei Yuuka, but saw that the girl kept nodding, but her eyes under her black hair kept dodging.

"Shiina-san, you should go back first. Kobayakawa-san will be fine to accompany me."

"Okay then." Shiina Kiri had no choice but to give up.

Before leaving the classroom, he saw the two of them still discussing something with their heads down, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

As the "female protagonist" who knows him best, Kazuki Kobayakawa can't possibly be planning to have a big fight with Yuuka Gensou!
Otherwise, what is there between the two of them that he doesn't want to know? He also said that he would go to his house tomorrow.

Shiina Kiri: “…”

There is definitely a problem!
I'm considering whether to throw away the kitchen knife when I get home.
