My love index is at its maximum.

This strike, combining decisiveness, courage, skill, and momentum, instantly drew thunderous cheers from the entire audience.

In the commentary booth, even the veteran sword master, who was also a guest commentator, couldn't help but blurt out: "Great! Based on this one strike alone, I can confidently predict that this student, Kichikawa, will dominate the Jade Dragon Flag Tournament for three consecutive years!"

In the second game, Yui Kawakawa adopted the same tactic.

They launched a fierce attack from the very beginning, without any build-up or probing; they went all out from the start, leaving their opponents no chance to turn around and retreat.

In a panic, the girl from Nagano Prefecture raised a bamboo sword to defend herself.

Amidst the clash of bamboo swords, she sensed the opponent's strength, her fighting spirit vanished, and her ability to exert force began to falter.

Before she could figure out how to break the deadlock, her opponent had already sheathed his bamboo sword and launched a second attack.

With both hands gripping the hilt of the sword, Kikawa Yui crouched low in a half-kneeling position, slicing past her opponent's ribs like a nimble fish. Her exceptional swordsmanship and terrifying physical prowess combined to create a graceful arc with the tip of the blade, striking her opponent's armor.

The score is valid!

Even Tsukasa Tazaki couldn't help but blurt out, "Okay!"

This fighting style, known as "cutting down," requires a very high level of skill. Lowering your body means that your shoulders and above are completely exposed to the enemy's attack range, and anyone who lacks confidence would absolutely not dare to make this move.

"Ahhh!!!" Inside the stadium, the roar was so loud it almost lifted the roof off.

"She's here! She's here!" the male host shouted, spittle flying as he yelled, "Forty-five consecutive wins! The first player in the history of the Yulongqi tournament to win the entire tournament has appeared!!! Let's shout her name!"

"Sichuan-Yui!"

A historic moment, with a 45-game winning streak and a single victory against nine teams, was achieved by a once-in-a-millennium beauty.

"Let's congratulate Beichuan Private School..." The commentator's voice was loud enough, but it was still drowned out by the cheers of the audience.

"Kikawa-kun is awesome!"

Shiori Ninomiya suddenly leaped onto the stage, bouncing onto Yui Kikawa like a koala, hugging her neck and giving her a quick kiss on her mask.

"We won!" Takeuchi Takumi roared excitedly, his thick neck bulging with veins, as if he wanted to rush over and hug and kiss the blonde girl like Ninomiya did.

The remaining members of the kendo club high-fived, hugged, and jumped around excitedly. Even Murakami Mizuiro, who secretly wished the blonde girl would disappear from the face of the earth, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Tazaki..." Shimamoto Kana excitedly tugged at Tazaki Tsukasa's sleeve, "You've won the championship!"

"Ah."

Tsukasa Tazaki nodded, feeling somewhat excited.

Spending a long time at school, one gradually develops a sense of collective honor or something similar.

As always, Kuriyama Sakura showed absolutely no interest in these things.

Yui Kikawa took off her mask, revealing her rosy cheeks. She calmly greeted the classmates who gathered around her, and then looked at Tsukasa Tazaki.

Her clear blue eyes blinked, a hint of a smile appearing on them.

The stadium's large screen showed a close-up of the blonde girl, and tens of thousands of spectators stood up to watch her walk off the field and toward the boy on the edge of the field.

Tsukasa Tazaki: "..."

His intuition told him that he should run now!

But... looking around, there were already several layers of human walls surrounding the reporters and staff, so where was there any way to escape?

Qichuan walked up to him step by step, smiling sweetly: "Xiaowei won."

The smile she had practiced for many days finally blossomed perfectly at this moment, perfectly capturing the affectionate expression of a young girl waiting for her lover's praise.

Click...

Countless flashes of light went off around him, almost blinding Tsukasa Tazaki.

"Uh... haha..." he chuckled dryly and said, "Congratulations."

Qichuan Wei tilted her head slightly, her clear blue eyes shimmering with beautiful ripples: "Is that all you've got?"

"..."

"Since you don't dare, then Xiaowei will have to do it herself."

"Hey, what are you doing..."

Kikawa Yui opened her arms and gently hugged him.

"Ah~" Cheers and jeers rose and fell from the audience.

She tilted her head up, her small face upturned. Tazaki Tsukasa looked down at her, feeling the warmth emanating from her body even through her clothes. After a couple of seconds of eye contact, he frowned: "Let go!"

"Aren't you happy?" she asked.

"Tens of thousands of people are watching, don't force me to push you away."

"Afraid that Hoshino-sensei will be unhappy?" Yui Kikawa released him, pointing calmly to the southeast audience seats: "She's sitting right there, do you want to go up and say a few words?"

Tazaki Tsukasa asked with a grim face, "You sent someone to monitor her?"

"Don't put it so harshly." Qi Chuanwei pursed her lips slightly, her tone calm: "It's just about understanding the competitor's movements and preparing for a battle. By the way, what do you think her reaction will be when she sees me hugging you?"

Tsukasa Tazaki didn't know.

The stock price didn't fluctuate, and he was so far away that he couldn't glean any insight into Da Ke's inner thoughts from her expression.

"Hello, students." Reporters squeezed around the two, and cameras were pointed at them.

"There are some questions that our viewers are very concerned about. If it's convenient, let's have a brief interview."

Yui Kikawa glanced at Tsukasa Tazaki, and seeing that he had his arms crossed and wasn't going to speak, she turned to the camera and smiled slightly: "If you have any questions, just ask me."

"Oh, okay, hello Kikawa-san." The reporter, holding the microphone, asked the question as rehearsed beforehand: "According to rumors on the internet, Tazaki-san and you grew up together, and you two are very close, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Tsukasa Tazaki leaned over to explain, "It's right to grow up together, but it's wrong to have a close relationship."

"Stop fooling around." Qichuan Yui gently pushed his head away, then looked back at the camera: "Sorry, he's just a bit eccentric when he talks."

A burst of laughter erupted in the venue; to onlookers, the two's behavior resembled that of a couple playfully fighting.

The reporter then asked, "There are rumors that you were Tazaki's ex-boyfriend, but you dumped him after he cheated on you. Is this true or false?"

“That’s a rumor.” Yui Kichikawa frowned, looking unhappy. “But Tazaki does have someone he likes, and that person is right here.”

"I see..." The reporter looked regretful, glancing around the venue as if searching for someone: "Who is the person Tazaki-san likes?"

Ninomiya Shiori nudged Kuriyama Sakura with her elbow and whispered, "Will Kikawa-kun reveal Hoshino-sensei's name and then use public opinion to drive him away from her?"

“No.” Kuriyama Sakura shook her head and said with great admiration, “A proud person like her would disdain doing that. She would only use all available resources to compete fairly and squarely.”

Tsukasa Tazaki sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

Based on his understanding, it's highly likely that Kikawa will declare war directly next.

Sure enough, Yui Kikawa pointed her index finger towards the southeast: "She's over there."

All eyes were drawn to the southeast stands, and the spectators sitting in that area also looked at the two people to their left and right.

"Who?"

Is that you?

"I wish it were me."

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, it's really me."

"Pah, what are you doing, you man, making a fuss!"

Amidst the buzzing of discussions around her, Hoshino Hanami remained motionless, her face behind her sunglasses solemnly pondering the meaning behind the blonde girl's actions.

Despite her terrible personality, in Da Ke's impression, Yui Kichikawa is still a very charming and beautiful girl, exuding a proud and refined aura. As soon as people see her, they immediately know that she is different from others—no introduction is needed, nor is it necessary for her to express herself; it is a feeling that arises spontaneously in an instant.

"I know you're watching." Yui Kichikawa snatched the microphone from the reporter and said to Hanami Hoshino, "He likes you, that's for sure. Whether you still like her, I don't know. What I'm saying is—your relationship is over."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, neither too warm nor too cold, just like a perfectly placed, decorative line of poetry inserted into an article.

The entire room fell silent, and all eyes turned back to the blonde girl.

Qichuan Wei stared blankly in that direction, pondered for a long time, and then said, "From now on, he is mine! No matter how much he likes you, I will take his heart back!"

After delivering her grand speech, she stretched languidly, as if to say that she had said everything she needed to say. A heavy silence hung in the air above the stadium for a moment before being broken by cheers.

"Qichuan! Qichuan! Qichuan!"

A wave of cheers, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, swept through the entire venue. Even the most emotionally oblivious person would be moved by the girl's courageous and resolute spirit, swept up in the atmosphere, and cheer for her.

"What a despicable woman!" Hoshino Shikami shouted angrily.

Hoshino Hanami calmly looked down at the blonde girl, a calmness that bordered on coldness. But Hoshino Shikami could still sense the unnatural emotional conflict within her from the restless rise and fall of her chest.

"elder sister……"

The younger sister rolled over and snuggled up to her older sister, running her fingers through her hair before pressing her nose against her cheek: "Should we go down and beat them both up now?"

Hoshino Hanami didn't say anything, but just shook her head a couple of times.

The women's final has now come to an end.

The awards ceremony was to be held the following day after the men's final. As the Kitagawa students left the gymnasium, a group of reporters swarmed after them, taking photos and bombarding Kiyokawa with questions. More than a dozen male members had to draw their bamboo swords and escort the five female members through the narrow passage leading to the exit.

While having a headache, Shimamoto jokingly remarked to Tazaki Tsukasa, "After the men's final, which has a bigger impact tomorrow, you'll have to hire a security team to escort you."

"Ideally, there would be a few female police officers with amazing figures."

Tazaki Tsukasa replied with a smile, then seized the opportunity to slip out of the group and head towards the inn where Hoshino Hanami was staying.

"As expected, he still cares more about her..." A faint smile appeared on Shimamoto Kana's lips as she gently watched him leave.

Chapter 205 National Competition (6)

Did your sister say anything this afternoon?

"He just stares at you with a cold face."

"It feels so scary."

"You deserve it... Hey, why did you lock me out!"

After locking his sister-in-law out of the room, Tsukasa Tazaki carried the freshly prepared dinner into the guest room.

Hoshino Hanami glanced up from the bed and looked at her. She had her hair tied in a low side ponytail with a bow. She wore a loose white T-shirt on top and flesh-colored leggings on the bottom, showing off her long, beautiful legs and pretty feet.
