I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 261: Once in a Sixty Year

By this time, more than 200 women's teams had been eliminated to only eight. During this period, Tachibana High School was forced by powerful opponents many times to send out its best players.

Among these opponents are descendants of demon hunter families, as well as girls with simple talents and strong swordsmanship.

After all, it is just a simple competition of swordsmanship. Although the descendants of demon hunters are blessed with natural advantages, ordinary people with good talents can also compete with them in the arena.

It seems that these demon hunters are very martial and sometimes, when they are accidentally defeated by female contestants with superb swordsmanship, they just bow and leave the stage without using any extraordinary means to win.

However, Dong Yeyu would occasionally maliciously speculate that they were just afraid to make any small moves because they were in the public eye for fear of being discovered.

Mortals cannot detect cheating with magic in such a competition, but if it is seen by a demon hunter, the family's reputation will be ruined in the demon hunter world.

Of course, the best performance of these players who forced Tachibana High School to send out Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was limited to this. Without exception, they were defeated by Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's sword.

With their life hanging by a thread, Tachibana High School seemed to have narrowly made it into the top eight.

Although her experience in winning competitions was somewhat bumpy, she was not favored as the champion of the Yulongqi Women's Tournament.

But personal heroism always makes people excited, and Tachibana High School itself is very popular, which attracted a lot of media attention.

As an ace player who has repeatedly turned the tide, the background of General Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was soon dug out.

She comes from the former noble Jinguji family and is the only daughter of the current head of the family, Jinguji Nobuaki, and has excellent academic abilities.

Even in Tachibana High School, which is full of school monsters, she can still be ranked among the top three and is regarded as a beautiful swordsman who appears once in a century.

Also, because she always has no expression, but is quite polite whether in competitions or interviews, and her words and actions have the temperament of a noble lady from a noble family, she was given the title of Moon Flower.

Island countries have a few "once in a thousand years" and "once in a hundred years" events every year, so this "once in sixty years" is considered conservative.

Higashino Yu guessed that it was probably because Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was a swordsman from Kanto.

The discrimination competition between regions on the island country is quite fierce. It’s not that China is united - all provinces in China discriminate against each other.

The manhole cover is a term unique to the Central Plains. "I didn't steal it, I picked it up", mocking Sichuan and Shu for being rich in male ketone Guinan, Northeast China for eating table corners, Suzhou and Hangzhou for having shepherd dogs, Beijing for drilling tunnels at night, Guangdong for having many Ni Ge, etc. Almost every province has been blackened by the region.

However, the island countries have gone beyond verbal battles. It has become so outrageous that the power supply standards in Kansai and Kanto are different - Guanzhong has formed its own school and is superior to no one else.

Although Fukuoka belongs to neither Kansai nor Kanto, it is geographically closer to Kansai.

Therefore, there is no need to ridicule or mock the female swordsman from Kanto, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, but the praise she gives must be discounted.

When checking information, some media took a look at the male contestants from Tachibana High School and found that Higashino Yu, one of the academic monsters in the first year of high school, also participated in the Yulong Flag. So they wrote in the report that two of the top three first-year students of Tachibana High School participated in the Yulong Flag Kendo Competition.

Higashino Yu's name also appeared in the newspaper for the first time, although only in a corner.

Moreover, Higashino Yu has no historical record, and no record of participating in kendo competitions in junior high school. Most people didn't care much about this even if they saw it, and just thought he was just there to make up the numbers.

After all, it’s enough to have one person who is good at studying and strong in athletes. It’s impossible that all the talented people are in Rikka High School, right?
Back to before the game, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami and the female players changed into plain kendo uniforms and came to the preparation area of ​​Tachibana High School to prepare for the game. The substitute players and members such as the kendo club manager helped the players put on the kendo armor for the kendo competition.

The opponent was a very strong kendo team, so both the deputy general Ogata Hitomi, the vanguard Matsusaka Mika, and the other two players were very nervous.

Many people frequently looked at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami - after all, Tachibana High School was able to make it to the quarterfinals thanks to this great general.

She seemed to have no pressure at all. She picked up the bamboo sword provided by the competition and looked at Dong Yeyu: "Can you practice with me?"

Higashino Yu had only come to take a look and get familiar with the situation. Asumi saw Sanae leading Kaori and Shiori to the spectator seats in advance. When he heard Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami asking him to practice with her, he naturally would not refuse. He smiled at Matsusaka Mika and said, "Matsuusaka-san, can I borrow your bamboo sword for a while?"

Mika Matsuzaka never thought that one day she would be able to get close to this legendary handsome guy in her first year of high school.

When she heard him asking to borrow her bamboo sword, she was stunned for a second before hurriedly handing over her bamboo sword in a rather awkward manner: "Yes, sure!"

She nodded and bowed, as if the person who borrowed things was not Higashino Yu but her, Matsuzaka Mika.

Then she suddenly thought - if Higashino-san used her sword, she would definitely have to return it later, right?
Isn't that equivalent to holding hands indirectly? !
Thinking of this, the girl opened her eyes wide, her face flushed, her legs seemed to go limp, and she sat on the wooden floor in a daze.

Dong Ye Yu didn't think so much. After taking the bamboo sword, he weighed it. In order to prevent cheating, the organizer of the Yulong Flag competition provided both kendo protective gear and bamboo swords.

Although some players may not be used to the unfamiliar bamboo sword and may not perform well, it can ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent.

After feeling familiar with the bamboo sword, Dongye Yu simply waved it, and the sound of the bamboo sword breaking through the wind suddenly sounded. The sword body drew a beautiful arc, and finally, as if time had stopped, the bamboo sword instantly stopped at an angle that was pleasing to the eye.

It is the basic training move of Swallow Return, one of the secrets of Sky Blue Ittoryu - Swallow Return sounds very cool, but in fact it is just a simple extremely fast sword strike that strives for simplicity and pursues the ultimate speed to be able to cut down a flying swallow in the sky with one sword.

The advanced move is the leaping slash, which is a killing move that requires only advancing and no retreating. After all, you cannot adjust your posture in the air, so it is a winning move.

All the female students from Tachibana High School present knew that Higashino Yu was extremely powerful. Although they thought he swung his sword very quickly and skillfully, they were mostly just looking at him as a handsome guy.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the famous kendo player Yasuhiro Mikado, who was chatting with his friends on the podium while waiting for the game to start.

what is that?
The lightning-like slash that appeared in the corner of his eye seemed to hit his heart. He focused his attention and looked over, and saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family who was competing in swordsmanship with a boy.

The two were in the confrontation stage, as if the previous slash was an illusion.

Is it an illusion?
He was thinking about it and wanted to observe it, but he heard his friend ask: "I heard that your Zhenhui is also participating in the competition? In the past, the Jade Dragon Flag was taken by your Zhensi. Will it be taken by your family again this time?"

Yasuhiro Mikado came back to his senses and wanted to smile without saying anything, but the sword that seemed like an illusion at the edge of his vision was still lingering in his mind. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "There are so many talented young swordsmen in the world. It's hard to say, hard to say."

Just as Higashino Yu was practicing sword skills with Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami to get familiar with the feel of the sword in preparation for the competition, a girl in a kendo uniform came to the preparation area of ​​Tachibana High School.

The girl was not tall, about 1.5 meters, and looked like a junior high school student. She looked even smaller in the kendo uniform.

She had a schoolgirl hairstyle - that is, short hair that reached the ears, and had a delicate appearance. She looked very youthful and energetic, had a well-behaved look, fair skin, and a small face that seemed like it could be held in the palm of a hand. However, despite her cute appearance, her face had no expression.

She stood on tiptoe and looked around among the staff coming and going, as if she was looking for something.

"Who are you looking for?" The female manager of the Kendo Club, Tomoka Takakawa, stepped forward and asked politely.

She looked indifferent, glanced at Takakawa Tomoka who had a smile on her face and ignored her, then locked her target and walked straight towards Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

"I heard you're engaged?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, who was confronting Higashino Yu and looking for each other's flaws, was distracted when he heard this. The people in Tachibana High School were also stunned when they heard this, but Higashino Yu seemed unaffected and seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with a big laugh.

"Aha!"

A precise and swift horizontal slash hit Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's abdomen.

"Don't let your guard down at any time, especially when facing a sword master."

Higashino Yu smiled mysteriously, and made the blood-vibrating movement of Katori Shinto style. He twisted his wrist, and the bamboo sword flew into the air due to inertia. Then he held the scabbard firmly and made the action of sheathing the sword.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, showing the style of a swordsman, and he did not look like someone who had just made a sneak attack.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami rolled her eyes at him and pursed her red lips: "Not really."

I don't understand how someone who is usually so calm and reliable could suddenly go crazy and act like this.

"Why not count it? It's in front of everyone!" Dong Ye Yu looked at everyone else.

The girls of Tachibana High School were still thinking about what the strange girl had just said about Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's engagement. They didn't expect that Higashino Yu would let them support his cheating behavior, so their attention seemed to be diverted and they looked at Higashino Yu.

After looking at each other for a while, they all laughed, as if the godly boy who had always been high and mighty had finally come down to earth. After losing his glory, he became more approachable.

Seeing this, the girl in the kendo uniform looked at Dong Yeyu, as if trying to identify something. After a moment, she frowned and asked, "Is he your fiancé?"

Ignoring the gossipy looks from the people around her, she walked up to Dong Yeyu, looked up at him and said, "She doesn't like you, can you cancel the engagement?"

"You are not her, how do you know what she is thinking?" Dong Ye Yu asked curiously.

The girl frowned: "She can't possibly like someone like you who is obsessed with fame and fortune. I know her very well."

"Aren't you going to ask her opinion?"

"She has her responsibilities, so even if I ask, I won't get a sincere answer from her."

The girl looked serious. "If you take the initiative to cancel the engagement, I can introduce you to a girl from an equally famous family. With your looks and your Shikigami, few girls would reject you, except Jinguji."

It's a bit confusing. Dong Yeyu glanced at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami. Should I just chase her away?
Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, however, acted as if he regarded Higashino Yu as the head of the family, with his brows lowered and no words spoken.

Higashino Yu pondered for a moment, thinking that perhaps the girl's family had a history with the Jinguji family. For the sake of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's face, he did not turn against them directly.

"Let alone the fact that what you said is all your own imagination, there is no evidence to prove that it is correct. Secondly, no matter what I do, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Dong Ye Yu restrained his smile, his dissatisfaction was already obvious.

"Why don't you want to?" the girl asked as if she couldn't see his expression.

"I have no obligation to explain to you, young lady. In my opinion, you are just an inexplicably self-righteous person who has no respect for Hiiragi Jing, yourself, or me. You only believe in rumors and your own imagination. If you continue to be so arrogant, please leave."

Higashino Yu looked down at her, the majestic aura of a human immortal pressing down on her from above. Both the staff and the people of Tachibana High School felt their hearts sink. Some of them touched their chests, wondering if there was something wrong with the air exchange system in the gymnasium.

The young girl who was singled out by this aura felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her head.

"If you don't want to embarrass yourself, just leave here." Dong Ye Yu reminded again.

The girl remained unmoved, even though her body began to tremble and her knees gradually bent until she finally fell to her knees with a plop.

At this moment, the girl was completely stunned. She didn't expect that the man in front of her would dare to bully her.

As the little princess of the Shangzhu family, how could she have ever suffered such injustice?
Suffering such a sudden humiliation, she knelt on the ground in a daze for a second before she reacted. Her crystal eyes were instantly covered with mist and she was shaking with anger.

villain!

shameless!
He didn't yell out of control, but just stiffened his neck and answered with difficulty: "Is this the power of the shikigami? Is this what you rely on?"

"Are you, a person who has relied on your family to get to where you are today, qualified to say such things?"

Dong Ye Yu said with contempt, but seeing her kneeling in front of him with tears streaming down her face, pursing her lips to hold back her tears, and stiffening her neck to refuse to admit defeat, he felt like he was bullying a child.

Not interesting.

He held his breath and waved his hand, his intention to see the guest off was obvious.

"You will regret this."

"Let's wait and see." Dong Ye Yu didn't care.

Bastard. The girl cursed in her heart with gnashing teeth, looked at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, and wiped her tears.

"I hope you won't be affected by this. I want to defeat the Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami in his prime, not you who are stuck in these messes and can't get out of it."

After she finished speaking, she glared at Dong Yeyu again, then turned and left.

A staff member thought something had happened here and came over to ask, but the people at Tachibana High School didn't know how to answer.

"Maybe it's a love triangle." A substitute player said seriously.

The staff member glanced at Dong Yeyu and nodded thoughtfully.

This person seems to be seriously ill.

Dong Yeyu felt that her figure was familiar, and asked Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami: "Is she your friend?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was a little confused about this strange girl who suddenly came over, said something inexplicable and then left suddenly. He recalled for a while and shook his head.

"No, I just met her in previous competitions."

"Oh? Is it your destined enemy?"

"Just an irrelevant person."
