I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 115: The sword is a weapon, and swordsmanship is a way to kill people

Seeing that Higashino Yu ignored him, Sugaya Tetsuya took off his armor and threw it on the ground, gritting his teeth and growling: "You have no honor in swordsmanship, you villain!"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Yu stood still and turned around with the sword in his hand. Sugaya Tetsuya was startled, and he covered his chest and ribs, broke away from his girlfriend's support, and staggered backward.

Seeing his frightened look, Dong Yeyu shook his head and said, "Your swordsmanship is not as good as Arima's. When you relied on your physique to defeat him, why didn't you say that it was an unfair victory?"

"When you thought I didn't know swordsmanship and only challenged the weak, why didn't you say that your victory was unfair?"

"You feel that the victory was unfair because you were not the winner. You should be thankful that modern kendo uses bamboo swords, otherwise you would have died. How can you have the nerve to talk about the honor of swordsmanship here?"

"What's more," Dong Yeyu said expressionlessly, "there is no honor in swordsmanship itself."

"The sword is a murderous weapon, and swordsmanship is a means of killing. No matter how beautiful the excuse is, this remains the truth."

"Honor is the meaning people give to their actions. If you used the swordsmanship you learned to protect others, I might still think highly of you. Unfortunately, you only use force to oppress the weak."

"If you think it's unfair, then I'll give you another chance to challenge me. I can even wait until your injuries are healed. Do you dare to challenge me?"

Dong Yeyu stood in place and spoke in a calm voice. His figure wearing kendo protective gear became taller and more burly. Standing on the field, he was majestic and imposing, like an ancient swordsman.

Tetsuya Sugaya swallowed and wanted to accept the challenge, but the unrivaled swordsmanship just now kept replaying in his mind.

The move that broke his bamboo sword seemed to have destroyed his courage to draw the sword.

Facing this man at this moment, he couldn't say anything to challenge him.

The Kendo Club members who were in the audience of the dojo sighed one after another, and even the three people sitting in the referee's seat, including the club president, shook their heads secretly.

Although Tetsuya Sugaya is considered to be quite powerful in the club and has good popularity when no one offends him, the current situation is indeed a bit too ugly.

Just now he said that he didn't know swordsmanship and didn't want to fight with you, but that was just an excuse. He just thought you were too weak and there was no need to fight with you.

Do you really believe that he doesn't know swordsmanship?
Why carry a wooden sword if you don't know swordsmanship?

He insisted on humiliating himself, and after losing he threw a tantrum and cried out that his victory was unfair. It was really undignified. Not to mention the honor, he even lost his courtesy.

"Look, you don't even dare to challenge the strong."

"You are brave and aggressive, but you bully the weak and fear the strong. You are actually talking about swordplay honor here. It's just a joke."

Dong Ye Yu shook his head in disappointment, stopped looking at him, and turned away.

Tetsuya Sugaya's face flushed, his forehead and lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

He didn't know what words to use to refute, and finally could only kneel on the ground exhausted, holding his chest and ribs, and angrily hammered the wooden floor of the dojo with his armored hands.

"White side, Dong Yeyu wins!"

After discussion, the referee came to this conclusion - although there was no Qi He, not only was the red player's sword broken, but the player also seemed injured and could not continue the game.

After the game, Rina Oha helped the distraught Tetsuya Sugaya to the locker room, while the club members were still talking about it.

Some girls were eager to discuss whether they should ask Higashino Yu for his contact information later, while the male members gathered in twos and threes to discuss the recent competition. After all, the performance of breaking the bamboo sword with one slash was a little too shocking.

The president of the referee's seat began to organize members to help move the referee's table away and put it away.

After listening to Higashino Yu's words, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, who was standing in the corner, stared at the bamboo sword in his hand and pondered for a moment.

"Swordsmanship is a way of killing people, and honor is the meaning people give to their actions."

He murmured, his pure and clear dark eyes gleaming slightly: "That's indeed the case."

She became more and more curious about the knight who would meet Sanae tomorrow. When she first heard about it from Sugida Natsuko, she thought he was a shameless person who was following Sanae around for money.

It was only at Nekomata's that he discovered that he was actually a genuine demon exorcist.

It's not like someone who relies solely on talent to make his way through life. To have such unique scriptures, there should be some kind of inheritance.

But his way of speaking is a little strange. When I said goodbye last week, he came up to me and asked for my contact information, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Now it’s swordplay again.

In this regard, Dong Yeyu also gave her a strange feeling.

She has good proficiency, but is terrible at details. She has been practicing swordsmanship since she was a child and is familiar with all major swordsmanship schools.

The Iaijutsu that Higashino Yu used just now was indeed from the Katori Shinto-ryu. It was a set of sword techniques that was smooth, experienced and ruthless. If one had never killed a living being, one would never be able to practice such murderous and upright straight cuts and cloud cuts.

However, his footwork and some details of sword-holding did not seem like those of a veteran.

This kind of habit in details is difficult to disguise, and it is somewhat difficult for Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami to judge his character.

Asumi saw Sanae watching Higashino Yu walking towards the locker room and nodded slightly, as if to express approval, but she felt a little regretful in her heart.

He actually forgot to report the title of Knight of the Moon Kingdom in his knight duel, otherwise the reputation of Mirror Moon in the Kingdom of Darkness would have been even higher.

Thinking of this, he turned his head with a hint of pride in his eyes. Just as he was about to see Qingmei's expression, he found that she had left without him noticing.

Mingri saw Sanae's face suddenly fall and she pouted.

"Tsk, it's always like this. I leave when I'm about to lose. I can't afford to play. It's boring."

While speaking in a voice that she could hear, he followed her, as if afraid that she would run away.

Higashino Yu sat on the bench in the locker room and handed the broken bamboo sword to Arima Norimune.

"I'm sorry, I broke the sword. How much is this sword--"

"It's vulgar to talk about money, Dongye."

Arima Norimune waved his hand and said in a serious and literary manner, "Compared with the reputation and friendship of the three of us brothers, a bamboo sword is worthless."

Imagawa Kashiwagi smiled at the side and said, "From the time Higashino-kun was beheaded until just now, you have been smiling all the time. The corners of your mouth are almost stretched to your ears. Isn't it too late to pretend now?"

"Can you say this is fake? Imagawa, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Arima Norimune was not convinced.

"I'm happy because Dongye helped me get revenge, saving the three of us from losing face and letting out some anger."

"I'm not smiling now because even though Dongye defeated that guy, I didn't defeat him personally. I don't have the face to be proud of it."

Imagawa Kashiwagi helped Higashino Yu remove his protective gear and said with a smile: "So you have principles."

"That is."

"But why did you pretend to be dead on the field just now?"
