Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 225 The Jade Dragon Flag Competition Begins!
[Talent: Slow Motion]

--explain

[Consuming stamina allows you to enter bullet time. The more stamina consumed, the longer the bullet time lasts, currently up to a maximum of 3 seconds.]

"The World? No, it should be 'clock up'!"

Finally, a legitimate talent has arrived.

Every lottery seems to have a guaranteed minimum reward—except for the lottery itself. The system's guarantee might only be possible if you have all four of your stats (Strength, Speed, Constitution, Intelligence) at B level?

If I get all A's in the future, will I actually get a chance to stop time?
Aoyama Ryo was in a good mood, but he didn't actually have that many opportunities to use his [Talent: Slow Motion], since he neither played games nor did he participate in sports.

But at least it's not harmful, and it's a huge help to the Jade Dragon Flag in front of us.

—Would you like to give it a try?
As an ordinary person with no special talents other than the system and his appearance, Aoyama Ryo had never experienced bullet time before, so it was only natural that he would be curious.

--never mind.

Energy is very important. Today is the opening day of the Yulongqi competition, and there are also matches.

Before he could determine how quickly his energy would recover, he tried to use it sparingly and would wait until after the evening experiment.

Stepping out of the bedroom, the Ono sisters were already up early.

"Are you nervous?" Ono Mizuki asked with a smile.

“My sword only gets excited,” Aoyama replied.

Ono Mizuki looked like she couldn't take it anymore.

On the faces of those younger sisters whose older brothers, even in their second year of high school, still imitated "Emfuba" from Dragon Ball, you could often see the same expression as her now.

"Go for it!" Mika Ono said with a smile.

"Do you want me to give you some motivation?" Aoyama asked with a smile.

"Power?" Mika Ono turned her head, her smile becoming amusing.

"She definitely wants money!" Ono Mizuki, the little money-grubber, was certain.

"Money is meaningless." As the system holder, Aoyama Risa doesn't care about money at all. "If I win the Jade Dragon Flag championship, each of you will promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Ono Mika asked.

"Let's talk about it after I win the championship."

“What if you ask us to do something bad?” Mizuki Ono said.

"Do you think so?" Aoyama asked rhetorically.

The two sisters, of course, thought no.

“Alright then.” Ono Mizuki nodded. “However, even if you don’t get it, you have to agree to one condition.”

Aoyama Ryou offered his little finger, and the two made a pact: whoever broke the promise would swallow a thousand needles.

He then looked at Mika Ono.

Ono Mika smiled as she looked at Aoyama Risa's face.

—It's over, we've been seen through!

—It's okay, stay calm!
He thought to himself, 'If I make Sister Meihua sing for me alone,' how much more believable would that make me seem?
Ono Mika raised her hand and made a pinky promise with him.

"You're doomed!" Aoyama Riki exclaimed, beaming.

"I'm going to cheer for your opponent!" Ono Mizuki said with her hands on her hips and a determined expression.

After receiving messages from Akari and the others, the three of them went to the restaurant to meet them. Including Aoi, the eight of them had breakfast together.

"Good luck!" everyone said to Aoyama Risa.

"Yes, thank you," Aoyama replied.

After breakfast, everyone prepared to take a taxi directly to the competition venue.

As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, all the girls opened their umbrellas. Although Aoyama Rika had sunscreen (Sun Protection B), she hadn't really paid much attention to it and naturally didn't bring an umbrella.

However, everyone around him was using umbrellas, and he knew the downsides of not using sun protection, so of course he wanted an umbrella too.

But he only had a bamboo sword in his hand.

Looking to the left, the Ono sisters share one; there's no room for him.

Looking to the right, Akika Gasai, Sakurako the bassist, Yumemi the drummer, and Rino F. also had two umbrellas each, as if they had planned it together, and there were no extra umbrellas.

"Hmm." Jian Shangai made a sound like she was handing something over.

She handed the opened umbrella to Aoyama Ryo.

"Thank you." Aoyama Rie accepted it.

He took five steps forward, realized something was wrong, turned around, and saw the Ono sisters and the Sunny Day Band three steps behind him.

He saw Shang Ai five steps behind him, exposed to the sun.

“I thought you had something extra.” Aoyama Risa walked back.

He handed her the umbrella: "You can use it yourself."

"You call it for me." Seeing that Ai insisted, it seemed that Aoyama had done something wrong to her and now had to make amends.

".Let's go."

It's only about thirty steps.

As the eight people walked to the door, a Toyota Coaster drove up.

The car door opened, and the hotel manager, who looked somewhat familiar, stepped out.

"Dear distinguished guests, our hotel has prepared vehicles for the participants and spectators," the hotel manager said with a bow.

"There's such a service?" Drummer Mengshi asked curiously.

"Do we need to pay more?" my wife, Akari, asked.

"No need," the manager said with a smile.

Seeing that Shang Ai had walked confidently into the car, everyone else followed suit.

It has ten seats, airline-style seats, a toilet, a kettle, a refrigerator, and a TV.

Seeing that Ai was sitting in the special seat, Aoyama Risa sat in the secretary's seat, which had a control over all the electrical equipment in the car.

"There are support items here!"

"There's still plenty of water!"

"The hotel is so thoughtful!"

"Was it prepared by Mikami?" Bess Sakurako asked, looking at Mikami Ai.

“Yaeko Miyagi,” Ai replied.

"You also have an affair with Miyako Yaeko?" Bess Sakurako asked Aoyama Osamu.

"Eh? Do I have an affair with anyone?" Aoyama Risa laughed.

He was in a relaxed mood. It's normal for writers to be received by locals when they travel to certain places, and it's also normal for him to be received by Yaeko Miyagi.

"You didn't deny it? You really have a relationship with the student council president?" Akika asked curiously.

"Cooperative relationship".

All four members of the Sunny Day Band looked incredulous.

Aoyama subconsciously glanced at the Ono sisters, who were examining the support items and not looking this way.

A sigh of relief?

of course not!

That's why things are so scary – because no one was looking this way!
Seeing Ai sitting in the special seat, watching the scene before her with a smile.

Aoyama Ryou felt that he could no longer accept Miyayo Yaeko's kindness.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she's writing "The Girl Who Rules the World" this time; she'll find another excuse next time.

There was also the gym sparring incident. She was supposed to use the Jade Dragon Flag championship as collateral, but she only asked Aoyama to treat her to dinner.

Once or twice, ten or a hundred times, favors will gradually accumulate, and sooner or later Qingshan Li will lean towards her!

Before the Coaster arrived at the stadium, everyone had already figured out how to sing inside the vehicle.

Upon arriving at the venue, the remaining seven went to the spectator area, where Aoyama Risa met up with the Kaiming Kendo Club.

"I'm so nervous!" Jun Aizawa said.

"Are you nervous because of the competition, or because you're nervous about confessing your feelings after the competition?" Aoyama asked.

“Everyone’s nervous,” Jun Aizawa replied.

Her face was a little pale; she seemed genuinely nervous.

"Ever since I decided that I would confess to Kana if I killed two people in a row, I've been under a lot of pressure and I feel like I've lost weight."

"Don't worry, you haven't lost weight, you're just hallucinating."

"Audio hallucination, it must be an auditory hallucination, no one is talking."

Am I a ghost?

"Oh, right," Aizawa Jun, whose complexion had improved, suddenly said as if he had remembered something, "a sword demon has recently appeared."

"Compared to the Sword King, who is more powerful?" Aoyama asked.

"It's not a matter of whether he's powerful or not. Nobody knows who he is. It was spread by General Tsukushigaoka. One morning, he encountered the Sword Demon at the school gate and was killed by him!"

"The general of Tsukushigaki? The Tsukushigaki general who could take down five of us by himself?!" Sword Demon exclaimed incredulously.

"Yes!"

"Amazing!" Sword Demon exclaimed in admiration.

"That's incredible! I wonder who it is? You can run into a kendo player anywhere in Fukuoka these days!" Jun Aizawa said.

Sword Demon and Aoi Mikami did indeed encounter a kendo player after taking only a few steps.

Before the start of the game, the coach also mentioned this matter in his pep talk.

"This competition may not go too smoothly. Everyone must go all out and not underestimate any opponent!"

"Yes!" Sword Demon answered in unison with everyone else.

Despite the ghost story, Aoyama Ritsu wouldn't let his guard down. Putting aside Miyako Yaeko's promise, he himself had to get a satisfactory reward for his efforts.

Moreover, he was also appointed to the position of general.

And, most importantly, winning the championship will get the Ono sisters to do one thing.

The competition began immediately after the opening ceremony. The morning session mainly consisted of the women's team competition, with everyone cheering for the women's team.

"Kana, come on!"

"Fiora! Fiora!"

The blonde girl undoubtedly drew everyone's attention, and even some of the male athletes from their own girls' teams who were competing would occasionally glance in her direction. It was like breathing; their own school's competition was an 'exhale,' while looking at Elsa was an 'inhale'—both were necessary.

Even Aoyama Rin had to admit that, in the kendo arena, Amayu Elsa's charm was more dazzling than Mikami Ai's.

However, this only refers to the degree of dazzlingness, not the level of beauty itself.

The beauty of the person I met is at the "I met my love" level.

Kaiming High School's girls' kendo club isn't particularly strong; when faced with a formidable opponent, they can only rely on Elsa Amamiya.

Soon, Elsa Tenyu achieved a ten-kill streak.

During her break, she was already being interviewed by the media. In a competition, beauty alone is not enough, but someone who is both beautiful and talented is practically a ratings magnet!

And what are viewership ratings? They're money!

When these media outlets interviewed audience members, they specifically chose the Ono sisters and Mikami Ai.

The main reason is their appearance, which also affects viewership ratings.

"Where are you from?" the female reporter asked.

“Tokyo,” Mizuki Ono replied.

In front of the media, she is well-behaved and adorable; even the moon smiles like a kind crescent moon when it sees her.

The female reporter, seemingly bewitched, couldn't control herself and gave a friendly smile: "Where in Tokyo are you from? Are you here to cheer on the school?"

"Yes, Elsa Amane is my senior!" Mizuki Ono said proudly.

"Really? What a coincidence!"

They are not only beautiful, but also attend the same school as star contestants. If the interview value of an average person is only that of an average person, then their value is as high as that of a god!
Who doesn't like Gundam?

Osamu Aoyama dreams of owning a Gundam.

Wait, is it Gundam or Transformers?

It should be Transformers. As a writer, he definitely prefers things with more words.

After lunch, it was the men's group's turn to compete.

The first match in the open men's group was against Toa Gakuen, also from Tokyo.

"It's starting." Ono Mizuki said nervously from the audience.

"It should be fine, right?" the drummer Meng Shi said.

"No problem, no problem!" Kana Higashiura assured her, then shouted into the arena, "Kai-ming, do your best!"

In the men's group, apart from Aoyama Risa, no one else heard it.

Multiple matches were being held simultaneously in the arena, and in the kendo competition, the sound of bamboo swords clashing was already loud enough, but the footsteps and battle shouts of the competitors were even louder!

It's like putting hundreds of cicadas in one room.

The first match featured forwards from both sides.

"Go for it!" The men's team cheered for Jun Aizawa.

Encased in protective gear, Jun Aizawa looked even more imposing; in a manga, he would be a mini-boss.

But he was very nervous.

Jun Aizawa neither liked nor disliked kendo, just like he liked studying.

But gradually, his life became more and more closely connected with kendo. He needed kendo to build relationships and to confess his love.

He is the root, and swordsmanship is the soil.

Only by taking deep root in the soil of kendo can his life flourish.

"Hoo!" Under the mask, Jun Aizawa took a deep breath.

"start!"

Squatting, standing up—countless repetitions of practice made Jun Aizawa instinctively forget everything.

"Ah!!!" Aizawa Jun roared, transforming into a cicada and merging into the summer.

The bamboo sword is swung and the blades push against each other, revealing and identifying weaknesses.
The sword in my hand will not only cleave through the opponent's defenses, but also through the fog of the future!
'Kana, this is the coolest side of Aizawa!'

"Dongaaaaah!!" Jun Aizawa roared like a giant bear, even affecting the match of the group in the next round.

During a competition, one can only imagine the level of concentration required, especially for professional athletes from various schools who have undergone extensive training. Yet, even they were affected by him.

"Score! Red gets an ippon!" the referee announced.

"That's great!!" The women's kendo club members in the audience cheered first.

"Aizawa, well done!" Kana Higashiura shouted.

The men's team on the field was much calmer; everyone, including the coach, applauded vigorously but did not cheer.

Each game is best of three, which means each person has two lives.

Jun Aizawa had already defeated his opponent once, but the match wasn't over yet. Besides, this was just the forward, and the opponent was just an ordinary school with an unremarkable kendo club.

But does it matter?

—Aizawa, do your best!

Once he kills two of them, Jun Aizawa can go and confess his feelings.

Aoyama couldn't help him much, but he hoped he would succeed, and also hoped that kendo would bring him good luck.

Forwards match, second set.

"start!"

Both of them squatted down and then stood up.

"Ah!!" The opposing player roared in desperation.

Jun Aizawa was not to be outdone.

The two stood up like two bears, tearing at each other with all their might.

Completely different from usual practice, in the competition, every strike was incredibly powerful, as if the attackers were risking their lives.

My hands are numb.

The other person's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"what!!!"

Jun Aizawa fought hard for three sets and won the first set!
"Well done!" the men's group shouted, clapping their hands.

The coach simply clapped.

—One more is needed!
Unfortunately, forward Jun Aizawa lost to the opponent's second forward, winning only one out of three sets.

"It's okay, just get into the zone slowly." Aoyama patted him on the shoulder.

Jun Aizawa nodded, not too disappointed.

He still has a chance in the five-day competition.

In the match against East Asia Academy, Kaiming High School won, with Kinoshita, the captain of the kendo club, achieving a double victory and taking down the opponent's top player.

Aoyama Riki didn't even make an appearance.

"Not bad!" the coach praised after the event.

But then, his face immediately darkened: "The next match is against Toyama High School. They have a new teacher this year. This teacher is active in the kendo world in both high school and university. After becoming the kendo club advisor, he has greatly improved Toyama's strength!"

He scanned the faces of the boys one by one.

"Don't think that now that things have come to this, the outcome is already decided and your efforts are no longer effective," the coach said. "You must always maintain an attitude of transformation and believe in yourself!"

"Yes!"

As expected, Toyama was stronger than expected. The opposing general and Kinoshita vice-general fought fiercely and finally won this round in a very thrilling manner.

In other words, without Aoyama Rin, Kaimei High School would have already had to play in the revival tournament.

"Aoyama-kun, I'm begging you!" the Kendo Club president said, bowing his head.

“I am also a member of the Kendo Club.” Aoyama Risa stood up, sword in hand.

"Go for it!!" Jun Aizawa shouted.

—I will not lose until you achieve a double victory.

Aoyama Risa walks towards the starting line.

"Sis, should we cheer for the opponent?" Ono Mizuki asked nervously.

"Tomorrow," Mika Ono said.

"Okay!" Ono Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up—she didn't really block her view when she stood up—and shouted, "Good luck, brother!!"

"Go, Aoyama-kun!" Cheers echoed from afar.

If Aoyama Risa stays in one place for a long time, sooner or later everyone will know him. Now, everyone knows him on Jingu Avenue where he goes for his morning run every day.

But how could Fukuoka, a city so large, achieve such rapid results?
Looking over, I saw that it was Amakusa Sawa, and next to her was Inoue Misato, and next to Inoue Misato was another friend of Aoyama Osamu.

"It's starting," said Elsa Tenyu.

Her tone was calm, but the fact that she even spoke showed that she cared a lot.

Seeing that Shang Ai had quickly looked away, he immediately looked away.

Squat, stand up.

He could hear the battle cries of the other groups. Toyama Daisho stared intently at him. His opponent was also the last member, standing on the field with a do-or-die spirit.

Feeling the atmosphere in the arena, and being one of its members, Aoyama Ryo felt a slight warmth rising in his body.

—Indeed, a battle needs this kind of intense heat to be effective.

[Kendo Jade Dragon Flag: 67%, 68%, 69%, 72%]

"Ah!!!" General Toyama charged forward.

Aoyama Rin could feel the tension in the crowd behind him; the coach's hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.

Enlightenment will not stop there.

"noodle!!"

"With points scored, the red team wins!"

Second game.

"hand!!"

"The hand scores, the red side wins!"

"The outcome is decided; Kaiming wins!"

Aoyama only drew his sword twice.
