I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 30 Are you a fake Japanese?
Friday morning, Grade A, Class A.

During the morning break, Masamune Kawakami ran over and said, "You kid, whenever I come to see you, you are always reading. No wonder you got the first place in the exam! I'm so nervous now."

Shirakawa Kazuya put down his book and looked at Masamune Kawakami, "Are you confident this afternoon? Can you beat that Yamamoto?"

"I haven't fought him before, so I don't know. But for Ando-san, I must win!"

"Okay, come on Kawakami, be brave and pursue your own happiness." Shirakawa Kazuya couldn't help but encourage him in a gentle voice.

Tsukichi Chihaya smiled and asked, "Is there anything interesting going to happen this afternoon?"

Kawakami Masamune didn't say anything clearly, he just said hesitantly that he had a competition in the kendo club, and left quickly before finishing.

"Can I go watch the game in the afternoon, Shirakawa-san?" Chihaya Tsukiike seemed very interested.

"If you want to go, I can't stop you."

"Can you tell me the whole story?" She stared at Shirakawa Kazuya.

Tsukiike Chihaya has beautiful eyes. Although contempt is often seen in her eyes, when such beautiful eyes reveal a request, it is difficult for anyone to refuse.

"There's nothing to say, it's just an ordinary discussion." Shirakawa Kazuya kept his little thoughts secret for Kawakami Masamune and did not elaborate.

"Then I have to go and see it myself." Yuechi Chihaya was not angry after being rejected, but just played with her phone with a smile.

"Please." Shirakawa Kazuya didn't know why the other party always talked to him, and continued to read the book.

Time soon came to the end of school in the afternoon.Shirakawa Kazuya walked towards the kendo club and walked along the green path to the entrance of the kendo field when he heard the "bang bang" training sounds of club members coming from inside.

The structure of this sword dojo is very simple. The ground is covered with dark wooden floors. There are several calligraphy works hanging on the wall. The words "wisdom", "courage" and "etiquette" are written in brushes. It looks quite grand. .There is also a certificate hanging on the other wall, which seems to be a club excellence award issued by the school.

Shirakawa Kazuya found a place to sit down and looked at the competition field.The white line stipulates the scope of activities. There are two people inside who are fiercely attacking and defending. The bamboo swords collide together and make a "bang bang" sound, which is very powerful.

Shirakawa Kazuya took a closer look and lost interest. In his opinion, such a competition was far inferior to the duel with the Ronin swordsman in the martial arts field.At this moment, Masamune Kawakami ran up to him and sat down next to him.

"When are you playing?"

"It will be my turn when this is over." He looked very nervous now, making Shirakawa Kazuya worried about his state of play later.

Tsukiike Chihaya also walked over slowly and sat down next to Shirakawa Kazuya across a seat.

"Are you going to join the kendo club?" she asked Shirakawa Kazuya while staring at her phone.

"If you don't prepare, you have to practice every day. It's such a waste of time."

"Could it be because I'm too weak, after all, he just looks like a fragile handsome guy." She curled her lips.

"Thank you for your compliment."

"That shouldn't be the point!"

Masamune Kawakami looked at the two of them, "Hey, let me tell you, can you let me brew for a while? I'm super nervous right now."

So the three of them became quiet again and continued to watch the game.

The two people on the field were still testing each other back and forth. There was no referee standing next to them. It was probably just an ordinary practice, not a game.In the end, the one on the left yelled "face" and hit the opponent's faceplate, ending the game. "It's my turn to play." Masamune Kawakami took a deep breath and changed into protective gear on the sidelines.

He will hang it tightly in the center of the abdomen, then cross the lace around the back waist to the front of the body, tie the left and right laces at the big drop, and then start wearing the carcass armor.

The function of the droop is to protect the lower abdomen and crotch, and the function of the carapace is to protect the chest, upper abdomen and ribs.

At this time, Masamune Kawakami's opponent, Naoto Yamamoto, also appeared on the sidelines.

He was grabbing the top two corners of the black turban and wrapping it tightly around his head. After circling it in a circle, he began to put on the mask.

"Is it so troublesome to wear protective gear?" Shirakawa Kazuya was a little shocked.

In the martial arts field, the enemy just looks like a warrior and is not wearing any armor at all. Of course, the same is true for himself.

"What else? Although it is a bamboo sword, it will still hurt if it is poked. Wearing armor is one of the important steps in a kendo competition." Tsukichi Chihaya curled her lips.

This guy really only knows how to study.I can't understand such simple common sense.

Masamune Kawakami put on his gauntlets and stood on the stage holding his bamboo sword.

Naoto Yamamoto also held a bamboo sword and stood on the other side of the stage.

"You kid, prepare to bleed!" Naoto Yamamoto's fierce voice came out from his visor.

"Let's give it a try." Masamune Kawakami did not flinch and made a mid-part pose.

Tsukichi Chihaya's words rang beside her, "Seeing that you don't have any common sense, let me explain it to you. There are five general starting hands in kendo, which are taken from the meaning of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint. The upper section is fire, which is Very confident offensive structure; the middle section is water, both offensive and defensive, and the transition between offense and defense is very flexible; the lower section is earth, focusing on defense. As for the Eight-phase pose and the rib waist pose."

"I still know this." Shirakawa Kazuya interrupted the other party.

After all, his basic swordsmanship level is pretty good. Although he doesn't know how to wear protective gear, he still knows how to start.

The upper position is good for offense, but the chest and abdomen are exposed and the door is wide open, which has a defensive weakness.Once he was stabbed in the left chest by an enemy in this way.

The middle position can be used to advance, retreat or defend. It is the most commonly used starting position by Shirakawa Kazuya in duels.

In the lower position, the tip of the sword points to the ground, with defense first.The following moves are teasing and blocking, which are mostly used in defensive counterattacks.But because the changes are too simple, not many people use this trick.

The Eight-phase Style is mostly used in group battles. It emphasizes one eye to see six directions and one ear to listen to all directions. It was very common in ancient times, but it is of little use in single combat, and few people use it.Shirakawa Kazuya only had an understanding of it and had never used this starting move in actual combat.

The rib-waist pose hides the sword behind the back, so that the enemy cannot judge the direction of the shot and the length of the blade at the first time, which has a surprise effect.However, in kendo competitions, bamboo swords have a prescribed length, so few people use this move.

Naoto Yamamoto raised his bamboo sword above his head in an upper pose.

The two began to circle around the center of the field.

"How can I win this kind of game? Defeat the opponent?" Shirakawa Kazuya asked.

Yuechi Chihaya glanced at him, feeling helpless. "You can't be a fake Japanese! Why don't you know this?"
