Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"This guy is definitely just bluffing, how could that be?"

However, some people hold different opinions.

“You’re wrong about that. I’ve heard of Miyazaki Yu before. He used to be quite famous. He once fought with gangsters and was seriously injured, falling into a coma for more than a year before recently waking up.”

No matter how deeply something is hidden, it will soon be exposed once enough people are around, and it will be impossible to keep it a secret.

No one expected that this arrogant guy had such a past.

However, many people in this world do not hesitate to assume the worst about others, or are simply full of malice towards others.

"So he's just a hothead. I've heard that if you're unconscious for a long time, your physical functions will deteriorate. I'm afraid this kid won't have the strength to wield a sword."

Although such malicious speculations were few and far between, quite a few people heard them.

Although this statement was malicious, it also made sense.

The two are vastly different in strength. Miyazaki Yu is probably no match for that person. Moreover, that Nishihira is ruthless in his attacks. Miyazaki Yu is likely in serious trouble.

west Pingyuan sneered and swung his sword straight at Miyazaki Yu, displaying ferocious power from the very first strike. However, Miyazaki Yu slightly shifted his stance, and the thrust missed its mark.

west Pingyuan's smile vanished instantly. His attack had missed, leaving him powerless and frustrated.

A sense of unease crept into his heart, and he began to launch a full-scale attack, unleashing a variety of swift moves, each sharp attack accompanied by the sound of wind being cut.

However, Miyazaki Yu dodged all of his moves with ease, as if he were strolling in a garden.

At this point, anyone who has truly practiced Kendo would immediately understand.

"He can't hit his opponent at all. The opponent just dodges, and he's already helpless. The difference in strength between the two is just too great!"

Even ordinary students could see the difference and their eyes widened in astonishment.

Those true masters tensed up instantly.

"I see. No wonder that Suzuki Sonoko spoke so highly of this guy. He's a truly terrifying individual!"

Kazuha, standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Heiji, that guy just keeps dodging around; he doesn't seem that impressive."

Hattori Heiji shook his head and said, "Kazuha, you don't understand. That's precisely what makes it so terrifying. Miyazaki Yu always stays an inch away from the opponent's attack range. It seems like the opponent can attack him as long as he moves, but he's wrong. All his actions have been predicted by the opponent. His attacks are like transparent objects to the opponent, and they won't have any effect. He's about to make his move!"

By this time, Miyazaki Yu had already collected all the data on the other party, so there was no need to waste any more time.

The bamboo sword, which had been hanging down, suddenly shot out like a raging dragon!

The tip of the bamboo sword grazed the opponent's blade, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and the opponent's bamboo sword flew out of their hand, landing lightly on their throat!

Chapter Fifty: A Rise to Fame

"A hit to the throat is effective!"

This strike was clean and swift, ending the battle without wasting a single bit of effort!

As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details. This strike was swift and fierce, like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it was a single, seamless attack.

"What!".

Many of them stood up excitedly instantly!

This strike was truly brilliant; with a light tap and a sudden movement, like skipping a stone on water, the opponent was defeated.

No matter how fancy the opponent's moves are, they are of no use at all!

"It was Miyazaki Yu who won, and so cleanly and decisively!"

"Long live Miyazaki!"

Sonoko, a big fan of Miyazaki Yu, immediately rushed to the forefront of praising him, instantly heating up the atmosphere.

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

What people love most when watching any game is an upset.

When the strong defeat the weak, there's nothing exciting about it. It's like diving; there's nothing surprising about the Chinese team winning. All we see is a smooth entry and a perfect move without a splash!

But if you're watching the Philippine blast fishing team, it's a different story. It's a visual feast! They plunge into the water with a splash, wetting the judges in the distance. The judges, with no other option, give an amazing score and wipe the water from their eyes.

In short, what people like to see is the underdog winning.

In a seemingly calm competition, a dark horse suddenly emerged, instantly exciting everyone.

Among the onlookers, several figures turned their gazes toward Miyazaki Yu.

"Another powerful opponent has appeared, which is really annoying."

One of the boys, who looked remarkably like Shinichi Kudo, stared intently at the field, his hand holding the bamboo sword trembling slightly.

However, this was not fear, but rather a trembling excitement.

He had not encountered an opponent for a long time. His strength had reached the pinnacle within the entire kendo club, and he had won several previous competitions.

These honors are no longer enough for him. He needs a worthy opponent to prove his swordsmanship. Now it seems that, in addition to Onimaru Takeshi and Hattori Heiji, there is another worthy opponent to fight.

The one who had his eye on Miyazaki Yu was none other than Okita Souji from Izumi High School.

At this point, he wasn't the only one who saw Miyazaki Hajime as a formidable opponent.

The experts that Sonoko mentioned earlier have all included Miyazaki Yu in their list of opponents that need to be dealt with carefully.

The referee's box was now buzzing with excitement.

"Excellent! We've discovered another promising talent for swordsmanship," said an elderly man with a white beard, smiling as he watched the scene unfold, his expression beaming with delight.

The burly middle-aged man standing to the side also wore a smile.

"Indeed, he should still be holding back. I originally thought that among these children, only Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi were truly gifted. It's a pity about Hattori Heiji. As a descendant of Hattori Hanzo, he is actually obsessed with detective games. It's a real shame. But now there is also Miyazaki Yu. It's really something to look forward to."

There were four people sitting on the judges' table, and these two were two of them. These two were also the most respected among them. Compared to them, the other two seemed to be there just to make up the numbers.

When the two men spoke, he could only smile obsequiously, not daring to interrupt them.

The old man suddenly opened his squinting eyes, and a glint of light appeared in his previously cloudy eyes.

"Zheming, you just saw Miyazaki Yu's moves. What are your thoughts?"

The old man wasn't speaking to the middle-aged man, but rather to those behind him. Behind the referee's table were several young men, who looked noticeably more mature than high school students, each with a sharp gaze.

The young man at the head of the group sat in the front seat, while the others intentionally or unintentionally kept their distance from him.

"Teacher, in my opinion, his strength is probably enough to fight me. Not to mention those two brats, Okita and Onimaru Takeshi, even Miyamoto Rujin might not be his match!"

"what?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback by what the young man said.

Miyamoto Ryunin and this young man are almost the most outstanding young masters of the world. In particular, in terms of strength, this young man is much stronger than Miyamoto.

Now he actually says that some high school student can rival him?!

"There's nothing strange about that. The world is vast, and there will always be some exceptionally talented individuals. Take Kyogoku Makoto, for example. He's so young, yet he already possesses formidable strength. And then there are Okita and Onimaru Takeshi, those two kids. Although they're not as good as me now, it's only a matter of time before they catch up."

His tone was flat, as if he weren't recounting his own story.

The old man beside him stroked his beard and smiled: "Zheming, your mind has always been so calm and composed. Perhaps it is because of this mindset that you have been able to reach this level in swordsmanship."

However, it's too early to say what you're saying right now. We've only seen one match with Miyazaki Yu, so we can only get a glimpse of his true strength. But to say that those two kids can surpass you is a bit too modest.

He paused slightly, but continued speaking.

"After all, you have already caught the eye of those big shots. Perhaps within ten years, you will be qualified to participate in the Sword Master Tournament trials. If you pass, your achievements in swordsmanship will be far beyond what someone like the old man can achieve."

The judges standing nearby were instantly filled with excitement.

What did the old man say? He actually mentioned the Sword Masters' Guild!

Although this organization is extremely mysterious among ordinary people, and the sword masters there are all reclusive and almost never show their faces in public.

However, their influence is also unimaginably large.

If someone joins as a new member of the Sword Masters Guild, it is not only his personal honor, but also the honor of the entire family. This honor will be passed down until there are no more swordsmen in the family.

"Teacher, you flatter me. I know my skill level is indeed quite good, but there is still a huge gap between me and the level of a sword master. I would be satisfied if I could become a quasi-sword master within ten years."

At this moment, a new battle has begun on the field.

After Miyazaki Yu made a strong start, the Teitan High School Kendo Club was on a roll, winning four out of five matches in the first round. Morita Ouran and Aso Kazuna both won, making it a resounding victory.

Then in the second round, neither Miyazaki Yu nor Morita Ouran made another move, but instead sent out Aso Kazunaru again.

After a fierce battle, Aso Kazunaru finally defeated his opponent, and Teitan High School finally accumulated five points, earning the right to advance.

"Great, I knew we could win."

Sonoko jumped up with joy. Such a resounding victory was incredibly inspiring. If they could maintain this momentum, winning the championship was definitely within their reach!

Chapter 51 Reencounter with Miyazawa Mie (Please support!)

"cheers!"

The members of the Kendo Club, along with many students from Class 2-B, were gathered together at this time.

"I'm so happy today! Our Teitan High School has finally made us proud!" Morita Soran said with a smile.

Others chimed in, especially some members of Class B in the second year, who couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves.

"That's right. With Ouran High School Host Club's leader and Miyazaki-san joining forces, no other kendo club can stand a chance against us."

One of the younger members of the kendo club couldn't help but praise it.

However, what he said was probably true.

The strength of these two people is undeniable, especially Miyazaki Yu, whose swordsmanship is superb. Even the enemy's commander was no match for him. Thinking back on the battle during the day, the excitement in his heart has not completely faded.

It's truly a lucky thing to compete alongside such a strong person.

If you can manage to win an award, it will be excellent material for bragging and even a great topic of conversation when you're old.

This is a national competition.

Just like when Ran Mouri later became the national karate champion, Sonoko would often bring it up to tease her.

Although there was an element of humor in it, the significance of this honor should not be underestimated.
