I'm having fun in Tokyo

"Just these two days."

"Then why didn't Maki-sensei tell me?"

"I'm the minister, right? The minister of the ministry, right!?"

Why weren't you notified beforehand about something like this?

“Ms. Maki said that you are now a swordsman and are no longer interested in her and the dojo, so she didn’t bother you.” Emi’s voice was somewhat hesitant.

"I thought you were a minister, so I called you to ask if you wanted to come."

“Ah, this…” Morikawa Yu’s voice faltered.

Although the vice-minister simply brushed aside Hojo Maki's words, he could still sense the resentment in Maki-sensei's voice.

This made him a little embarrassed.

His Tsurumaru was a gift from Hojo Maki, and his Mikazuki was a gift from her father, Hojo Takehiro; these were great favors.

It's really not good for me to ignore her now.

However, Maki-sensei is right; he really has no interest in club matters.

But he's interested in experience.

The instructors and students she invited from various dojos are all experienced!

Moreover, he already knew that defeating a determined enemy would yield more experience.

Surely some of these kendo instructors and students are determined?

Even if not, I can find ways to inspire their determination.

For example, upon arrival, say something like, "You all come at me together, I'm in a hurry," or "Excuse me for being blunt, but everyone here is trash," to provoke their anger.

Or, to put it more subtly, he could say something like, "You scum, do you even deserve to pick up a sword in front of me? Go home and drink your milk!" He didn't believe these people would be able to sit still then.

Once these people are determined to defeat him, his experience will also be there.

As for whether these people would recognize him, Morikawa Yu thought it was unlikely.

He had planned to challenge these gyms, but he hadn't gone yet, since there was no reason for these people to know him.

He considered the timeline.

You can spend time with your sister and Hiizuki in the afternoon, and visit Yamano Nanami in the evening.

I can go grind for experience points in the morning; it won't interfere with my studies at all.

He said directly, "Huijian, I'll be there soon, wait for me."

"Okay," Emi replied on the phone, then hung up.

Morikawa Yu returned to the living room, told her sister and the others that she was going out, ate something, grabbed a carton of milk, and went straight out the door...

......

Riding on a crane, I arrived at the academy's kendo dojo.

Morikawa Yu told her to land in a secluded spot, and then headed straight for the gym.

As soon as he arrived at the parking area in front of the dojo, he saw several buses parked outside.

Ms. Maki is also being willful, taking advantage of her elder being a member of the school board to hold this kind of kendo exchange activity at the school.

But that's her business, and it's none of his concern. He's just here to fleece her and gain experience.

To Morikawa Yu's surprise, before he even entered the dojo, a guy pointed at him with his finger.

The other person looked at him with fear, stammering, "I remember you...you are...you are Morikawa-san, were you also invited here?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, narrowed her eyes, and didn't remember knowing the other person.

The guy was quite decisive and immediately jogged over to him.

Chapter 124 Famous Swordsman

"Mr. Morikawa, I am Matsumura Hiroichi, a student at the Shigakukan Academy. Do you remember me?"

Hirokazu Matsumura looked at him with anticipation.

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment, but then remembered that she had challenged a dojo called Shigakukan, the Kagami-meichi-ryu Dojo, and had even left her contact information.

At that time, he defeated the instructor of the dojo and also humiliated the students there.

The student in front of me, Matsumura Hiroichi, is one of the more tenacious ones, but unfortunately, he is facing me and has no power to resist.

However, what truly made Morikawa Yu remember him was the other person's personality.

When he finished his fight and some students wanted to call the police, neither he nor the dojo instructor agreed, saying that a loss is a loss and they couldn't be so unreasonable.

This detail made Morikawa Yu have a very good impression of him.

"Of course I remember." Morikawa Yu nodded.

Hirokazu Matsumura immediately grinned.

After he finished laughing, he suddenly realized what he wanted to do and immediately and carefully repeated his question.

"Mr. Morikawa, were you also invited here for a kendo exchange?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head.

Just kidding, I'm the club president here, Maki-sensei's favorite student, and the club members' best older brother. How did I suddenly become an invited guest?

"No, I'm the head of the kendo club here. I just came to check things out."

"Yeah, is that so?"

"But with your swordsmanship skills, you could easily open a dojo, right?"

Matsumura Hirokazu was very surprised, his face full of regret that "this place is not worthy of you, you are completely wasting your talents here".

Morikawa Yu narrowed her eyes.

Although he knew that this guy was just being straightforward because of his personality, he still felt very pleased and his impression of Matsumura Hiroichi improved significantly once again.

However, he had other things to do, so he was enjoying the praise here instead of taking a break.

"I'll talk to you later, Matsumura-san. I need to go in and see my teacher. Let's talk again later."

He said it to Hirokazu Matsumura.

Matsumura Hirokazu nodded immediately and quickly made way for him, watching him go inside.

As soon as Morikawa Yu entered the dojo, he saw Maki-sensei standing by the window, watching the club members tidy up the area.

Many boys and girls dressed in other dojo uniforms stood on the other side, whispering among themselves.

Ignoring the people who were clearly from other dojos, Morikawa Yu walked towards Maki-sensei.

A girl with twin ponytails was also standing next to Maki-sensei, carrying a bamboo sword on her shoulder; it was Sakurai Emi.

Ever since Morikawa Yu discovered that she was a yakuza heiress, she has stopped trying to hide her yakuza aura.

However, her natural beauty and youthful charm still set her apart from those yakuza members.

Even when a girl like her goes to a roadside milk tea shop to drink milk tea, she exudes a noble air of a young lady condescending to experience the life of an ordinary person.

The methods used by Mr. Seigen Sakurai in raising his granddaughter are truly terrifying.

He had just walked a short distance from the two of them when Emi saw him and immediately greeted him.

"minister!"

"Yes, I'll see you there."

He greeted Emi with a smile, then looked at Hojo Maki, who had turned her face away and was deliberately avoiding his gaze.

He found her behavior amusing.

"Ah, Maki-sensei, it's been so long! It's been several days, and you're getting better and better..."

He said it half-jokingly, then suddenly realized something.

He was already with Feiyue, so he was considered a married man. If he continued to praise other girls for being beautiful, it would only make him seem frivolous.

"More and more what?"

Hojo Maki turned her face away, looking at him with suspicion.

Morikawa Yu felt a headache coming on, but quickly replied.

"...He's become more and more concerned about everyone. In order to train everyone, he even specially invited other dojos to come and spar."

"Tch~" Hojo Maki curled her lip.

Morikawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's alright, I managed to get by.

Emi glanced at the two of them suspiciously, whispered something to Hojo Maki, and then walked towards him.

"Minister, your arrival is just in time; the exchange hasn't even begun yet."

As she spoke, she pointed to the other side of the dojo, where the students' uniforms were different from those in her own club, and they were divided into four groups, totaling about thirty people.

“Those are students from the nearby city’s Kyōshin-meike-ryū Dojo Shigakukan, Shindō Munen-ryū Dojo Saitōkan, Tennen Rishin-ryū Dojo Mibukan, and Shinkage-ryū Dojo Yagyukan.”

"And over there..."

She then pointed to the window opposite, where four elders, who clearly differed from the students, were sitting on the tatami mats, all with their eyes closed, resting.

"Over there is Mr. Momoi Daisuke, the instructor of Shigakukan; Mr. Tachikawa Yusuke of Saitokan; Mr. Kondo Goro of Mibukan; and sitting at the very back is Grandpa Takeda Ichiro, the headmaster of Yagyukan. He knows my grandfather and they are close friends."

After Emi finished her introduction, she fell silent, while Morikawa Yu glanced at the teachers again.

The first person he knew was the Kagami Akira-ryu master whom he had defeated at the time.

He still has the contact information that the other party insisted on leaving him, and the Matsumura Hiroichi he just met is also the other party's student.

He didn't recognize the second one, but the other person didn't look particularly special, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

The next two characters intrigued Morikawa Yu because he saw characters above their heads, like titles in a game—"Master Swordsman".

Considering the shameful teacher at the Kagami-meike-ryu Dojo who had no title, this title must be a symbol of strength.

This surprised Morikawa Yu.

This was the first time he had ever seen this thing; he hadn't seen it the last time he met Sakurai Seigen.

However, the old man and Mr. Takeda Ichiro were friends, so their strength was probably not much different. It's likely that his system hadn't been upgraded yet, so he couldn't see the title on the other person's body.

"Emi, are those two people in the back very famous?"

He asked a question with great interest.

Hui Jian nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Kondo is the vice president of the Kendo Association. Grandpa Takeda used to be one too, but he retired later. However, his swordsmanship is very strong, and he and my grandfather were evenly matched."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Maki Hojo suddenly interjected.

"Morikawa, Mr. Kondo Goro is the owner of Mibukan. You may not know him, but he knows you."

"Huh?" Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

“He is Aunt Ryoko’s youngest son. I should call him my older brother. Because he loves kendo, he didn’t work for the government. He asked about you when he came over, and I told him you couldn’t come because you had something to do.”

Aunt Ryoko's second son?

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, then looked again at the middle-aged man sitting in the third seat.

The other person has a very good temperament, and upon closer inspection, she does resemble Ryoko somewhat, only much older.

If the two of them stood together, people would probably think he was the uncle and Ryoko was the daughter.

The god's ability to remain eternally young is just too overpowered.

Morikawa Yu looked over there.

Kondo Goro seemed to sense his gaze and opened his eyes.
