In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

The human body has four scoring areas: face, throat, abdomen and hands. Hitting other parts is considered a foul.

It is not enough to just strike the corresponding position with the bamboo sword, you must also shout out the struck position loudly. This combination of actions also has a professional term, called "Qi He".

There are ancient records in oriental martial arts - when you make a sound, your qi can be focused, your strength will naturally be relaxed and penetrating, and the sound must come from your dantian. The movement is powerful because of the responsive qi, your courage will naturally increase, and your enemy will be doubly discouraged!

Yuan Qianye guessed that perhaps the Qi He of swordsmanship should follow a similar principle.

However, after the bamboo sword hits the opponent and completes the Qi He, you must not be careless. You must quickly distance yourself and adjust your posture to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. This set of movements also has a professional term, called "Zanshin".

Just as the literal meaning suggests, it means to leave some room for improvement and to remain alert after completing each action without any slackness. This is also the fighting spirit that is emphasized in the way of kendo.

Although the rules were a bit complicated, Yuan Qianye got used to them quickly after understanding them.

It's nothing more than getting hit, yelling out, and then dodging. It's easy to remember.

The three referees on the field all raised the red flag without exception, and ruled that the red team won!

The strikes are powerful, the Qi is full, and the mind is sharp. It is a set of movements that could not be more perfect and beautiful. There is no objection to the score!

"Great!"

Rikka in the audience was overjoyed.

Tohka seemed calm, but she was actually a little relieved.

Yang Nai, who noticed her thoughts, touched her shoulder lightly and teased her, and she didn't want to be outdone and touched him back.

Eriri held the camera and kept clicking the shutter!

Yukino stared intently at the figure on the field who had returned to the starting line and was half-crouching.

She thought she had learned a lot in Eagle Country in the past few months and had made a lot of progress.

But now looking at Yuan Qianye again, she realized how insignificant the progress she had made during her study abroad period was.

Even when she left, he hadn't slacked off, but continued to work hard and make progress. In fact... his growth rate had far exceeded her expectations. Gradually, only his back could be seen...

In the second game, Yuan Qianye used defense to counterattack. When his opponent rushed over, he dodged sideways and then swung his sword directly at the opponent's hand. Because the force was too great, the opponent's bamboo sword was even knocked directly to the ground!

Without a doubt, the referee raised the red flag again and the red-haired player won again!

The first match of the Sichuan Blue Kendo Club ended and was won quite easily.

Yuan Qianye was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate after leaving the field!

Outside the circle, Busujima Saeko looked at them and laughed. It was too early to celebrate, but she didn't say anything to stop them.

Yuan Qianye took the time to glance at the audience, saw his "female supporters", and waved at them with his right hand raised high!

Rikka and Eriri excitedly raised their hands in response!

Seeing that her sister wasn't in high spirits, Yang Nai seemed to understand something: "There are many geniuses in this world. If you keep forcing yourself to compete with them, life will really be tiring."

Yang No didn't know whether Yukino listened to her words of advice, but after Yukino left the table accompanied by Eriri and came back, her expression was indeed much better.

As for Sichuan Blue, they have made rapid progress since the first game and have never lost again!

The main reason is that in the subsequent matches, Busujima Saeko was the vanguard, followed closely by Minamoto Chiye.

The best-of-three format allowed them to sweep their opponents like cutting melons and vegetables, leaving them with no chance to even start a third game!

Ushiyama Yusuke had no complaints about this, but just felt a little regretful.

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have tried to show off from the beginning. Why bother pretending like that?

Otherwise, after this competition, he might be able to maintain an undefeated record or something... without even playing.

Maybe the unaware crowd might even think I'm the ultimate expert or something...

The situation on Sichuan Blue's side quickly attracted the attention of the audience and reporters.

The reason is simple: the players of the Sichuan Blue Kendo Club have superb kendo skills and the competition process is pleasing to the eye.

Then there are the two contestants who have been on stage, the boy is handsome and sunny, and the girl is beautiful and heroic!

When these two are not playing, they sit on the sidelines like idol stars, but once they are on the court, they completely transform into tigers and their methods are extremely cruel!

From beginning to end, I never saw any opponent last more than three moves against them. Almost all the fights were over in one encounter!

This creates a very unique landscape.

The players from other groups were still laughing and exchanging blows, having a lot of fun fighting with each other.

The game on their side had already ended and the winner had been decided. Without even breaking a sweat, they just sat on the sidelines waiting for the next game to begin.

There is a huge broadcast display screen in the stadium, which originally switched back and forth between some live game scenes.

But since some time had passed, the big screen began to project the side faces of Minamoto Chiye and Busujima Saeko when they were resting very frequently.

Eriri was quite happy at first, and kept pointing at the big screen to signal Yukino to look, Chiye is on the big screen!

She has a simple mind, and she will be happy along with Yuan Qianye when he becomes famous!

But soon, Eriri noticed that the atmosphere at the scene began to become strange.

Over at the arena where the Kawanan Kendo Club was playing, a group of young girls suddenly gathered! They were all snapping photos of her and Yukino's childhood sweetheart with their phones!

What are these guys doing!

And the organizers of the competition! Didn't they clearly state before the competition that unauthorized persons were prohibited from entering the competition venue and interfering with the contestants?

Where's the referee?! Where's the on-site management?! Hurry and maintain order!

Ying Lili was very dissatisfied! Her upper and lower rows of small teeth were clenched tightly, and her canine teeth were exposed! She looked murderous! But she could only rage helplessly, there was nothing she could do!

Fortunately, the consultant teacher accompanying the kendo club noticed something was wrong and realized that continuing like this would disturb his students' rest and affect their subsequent performance, so he took the initiative to contact the management staff in the hall and drove all the girls back to the audience seats.

"It should have been like this a long time ago..." Ying Lili pouted, still looking a little unhappy.

Because after this, those girls who were driven away also started to cheer for Yuan Qianye.

Moreover, this trend showed signs of spreading, attracting some more reckless guys to join in, who suddenly shouted out nonsense like "Yuanjun of Chuanlan, I want to have a baby with you!" Such nonsense and shameless nonsense!

Bah! Qianye won't pay any attention to you! You'd better go have a baby with a monkey!

Not only did Eriri's gloomy expression fail to curb the atmosphere at the competition which was starting to go awry, it even made her two older sisters, Touka and Haruno, laugh out loud.

They were both very sharp-minded, and Eriri's protective attitude towards her food was so obvious that it was hard not to notice.

But the two of them didn't think of pointing it out. They just suppressed their laughter and occasionally looked at each other and couldn't help laughing!

This can be considered a bit of fun during the boring time while waiting for Yuan Qianye to take the stage.

Except for Sichuan Blue, the competitions of other schools were very intense.

The competition didn't stop until around two in the afternoon, when the top eight teams were finally decided.

Logically speaking, the teams that have passed through layers of screening are all strong teams. From the perspective of viewing, the next game should be even more exciting.

But Minamoto Chiye and Busujima Saeko still performed with great momentum, and did not seem to be under any pressure at all, and walked into the semi-finals with ease.

Busujima Saeko was okay. Although many young men at the scene were attracted by her figure, men are naturally more reserved and introverted when it comes to emotions. No matter how much they like someone, they are unlikely to do anything overly ostentatious. It was already a great honor for them to applaud her victory!

But it was completely different when it came to Yuan Qianye. Ever since the girls at the scene discovered that he was a handsome boy, his every move at the competition site could cause quite a stir.

The moment he defeated his opponent on the court, the entire stadium erupted in excitement! The girls cheered and applauded non-stop! The noise was so deafening that it made one think they were at a celebrity concert, not a kendo competition!

Yono in the audience noticed that her sister's expression seemed to be changing towards Eriri's at this moment.

She laughed inwardly and was just thinking of poking Touka's waist to signal her to take a peek as well.

She suddenly realized... Touka's expression had become gloomy at some point!

Huh? No...

As a sister, Shihua, you shouldn't be that serious...

I really am obsessed with adopted brothers (not blood relatives)...

The fun-loving Yang No felt that she had discovered something serious, but her subconscious told her that it would be better not to have fun with such things, otherwise she would always feel that there was a risk of ruining the friendship.

After entering the semi-finals, there was no suspense in the next two games.

Thanks to the hard work of Saeko Busujima and Chiya Minamoto, the Kawanan Kendo Club successfully won first place without any trouble! They became the champions of the Tokyo zone of the National Middle School Kendo Competition!

The award ceremony will be held after the finals.

Busujima Saeko and Minamoto Chiya were gathered in the middle by other kendo club members, stepped onto the podium, and received the group honorary certificate awarded by the kendo chairman.

A few brave girls also squeezed in and gave him bouquets of flowers and teddy bears.

"What do you think of today's game?"

After coming down from the podium and walking towards the lounge, Busujima Saeko asked Gen Chiye with a smile.

Yuan Qianye shook his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say, but that he really didn’t have any special ideas.

He has always been by the side of the kendo genius Busujima Saeko, practicing with opponents of her level every day. His level has risen so high that he naturally feels that the so-called competition is just that.

Kendo is a competitive sport. He competed for the entire day, but surprisingly, he didn't sweat much. This shows the intensity of the competition he had experienced today.

Busujima Saeko understood what he meant. "The national finals brings together the top kendo players from every region. Only those with both talent and hard work can make it that far. Then it won't be as easy as it is today."

After hearing what she said, Yuan Qianye nodded slightly: "That's good, otherwise the so-called competition would be too boring."

Busujima Saeko looked at him and laughed: "Genjima-kun and I are the same kind of people."

"Ok?"

"It's about enjoying the process of the game rather than worrying too much about the final result."

Yuan Qianye also smiled along with her.

The two of them slipped away right after the award ceremony.

However, the other kendo club members and advisory teachers who were traveling with him seemed to be very interested in the reporters who swarmed over.

However, it is human nature to desire fame and fortune, and it is understandable.

"Everyone in the Kendo Club is having a celebration party tonight. Do you want to come, Gen-kun?"

A stage-by-stage victory is still a victory and is indeed worth celebrating.

"I have plans with family and friends tonight, so I won't be showing up."

"Is that so..." Busujima Saeko nodded to show that she understood. She silently thought to herself that if he didn't go, she could just refuse later on the grounds that she was tired after the competition.

"By the way, Senior, if you don't mind, would you like to come along?"

When they reached the lounge, Gen Chiye called out to Busujima Saeko and invited her.

"We plan to celebrate directly at home. We will go shopping in the supermarket together later. Everyone can buy some of their favorite food. It should be fun to get together and have some fun in the evening."

With Yuanjun's family and friends...

Busujima Saeko was very tempted, but she had her own concerns: "If I go, won't it affect everyone's fun?"

Yuan Qianye laughed: "How could that be? It would only make things more lively."

Seeing that Busujima Saeko didn't really want to refuse, he decided to make the decision. "It's settled then. Go change your clothes first. I'll see you later, Senior."

He walked into the locker room and thought about Saeko Busujima's daily life. He always felt that she was very lonely.

Born into a wealthy family, he seems to have no worries about food and clothing, and is very popular in school, but upon closer inspection, it seems that he has no close friends, and his family is not around. His house is big, but what's the use of being big? After all, it's just a dead object. Humans are social animals, and they always need to gather together for warmth.

Just like when we first saw Yukino standing alone, and then it was Eriri, and now Busujima Saeko is for similar reasons.

In the beginning, I did approach them for a clear utilitarian purpose, but after getting to know them and realizing that they were good-natured children, I couldn't just abandon them after the mission was completed.

People are made of flesh and blood, and we will treat others with sincerity.

If they are really good to him, then Yuan Qianye has enough reasons to take care of them in return.

After changing his clothes, Gen Qianye stood in front of the locker room and waited for a while before Busujima Saeko came out with her things.

She pinched her hair with her left hand, looking a little uneasy: "I seem to smell a little bit after a day of competition. How about I go home and take a shower before coming to see you guys?"

Yuan Qianye dispelled her concerns: "Don't bother. If you really want to take a bath, just go to my house. The bathtub may not be as big as yours, but at least it has the advantage of fast water discharge. You can wear Shihua's clothes. In the bathroom, we each have our own bath set. You can use whichever one you like. It's okay to soak for a while longer. I'll come and call you for dinner. If you feel bored, I can also send Liuhua in to massage your shoulders and back. This guy has a childish mentality and will idolize people or things that look handsome. Senior sister, you performed so well today, she will be very happy."

Busujima Saeko was flattered: "No need for shoulder massage or back rub!"

"Don't you need it? Although Rikka is not very good at massage, her massage skills are still top-notch when it comes to relieving fatigue."

It was originally very normal, but after they got to know each other, Rika was either coaxed or bribed by Yuan Qianye. After many times, she turned from a green hand into an old hand, and was trained to her current level of good skills.

"You two sworn brothers and sisters (not blood-related) have a really good relationship."
