I'm having fun in Tokyo

Another guy immediately chimed in, "Someone like that can be a minister? The standards here are way too low!"

"Judging from his appearance, he's probably the kind of coward who indulges in excessive sexual activity with girls every day and can't even lift a bamboo sword. Are we going to exchange kendo knowledge with someone like that?"

"I heard that Sakuragawa Academy is a prestigious school. Is this what they call aristocracy? No wonder the media keeps saying that those fat pigs in the Diet should be thrown into Tokyo Bay, and Japan's economy will improve on its own."

A group of people burst into laughter.

Their words immediately attracted the attention of the students in the nearby dojo.

Among the students of the Kyōshin-meike-ryū Dojo, Matsumura Kōichi gave them a disapproving look.

He knew Morikawa Yu's strength very well; he was a monster who could easily beat their master, Momoi Daisuke.

This group's attitude clearly indicates they haven't been properly disciplined.

“I’m saying, do you really not know what you’re talking about?” Hirokazu Matsumura raised his voice.

"What do you know?" the guy who had spoken the loudest earlier immediately retorted, drowning out his voice.

Hirokazu Matsumura didn't care.

He has always believed in speaking his mind and has no habit of hiding anything.

"The person you're talking about is very strong, the kind of strong that you can't fight back against. You dare to mock him?"

He said very seriously, his expression earnest.

The guys around Keiko Takeda immediately glared at her angrily: "What are you saying, you bastard?"

"You're from the Academy of Scholars, right? You empathize with that coward because you're just as stupid as him?"

In Japanese, "baka" is an insult meaning someone is an idiot.

However, at the Kyōshin-meike-ryū Dojo, seven or eight students were looking at these guys with pity.

They were students who came to the teacher training college for an exchange program. They were basically all involved in the beating of Morikawa Yu at the time, and they all ended up in the same situation.

They were really looking forward to seeing these guys kneeling on the ground with desperate expressions.

Feeling uneasy under their gaze, the group, who had initially been brimming with a sense of superiority, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

They glanced at Morikawa Yu over there, then at the kendo students at the academy over here, and fell silent.

They only made sarcastic remarks to please Keiko Takeda and make her happy.

The way these guys are acting now, even the most oblivious person can sense that something's wrong.

Keiko Takeda raised an eyebrow and gave Morikawa Yu a serious look.

She's not stupid; she can naturally tell from the change in atmosphere. In Japanese schools, "reading the air" is highly valued, and observing people's expressions is an essential skill.

People who can't "read the room" are easily bullied and ostracized.

The boy next to Emi was someone she had only heard Emi mention before; his name was Morikawa Yu.

Grandpa has also mentioned this name these past few days.

But when she asked, her grandfather would stop talking, saying that these were things she shouldn't know at this time.

This piqued her curiosity.

She was initially unsure of the other person's identity, but now she was 100% certain that he was the young man her grandfather had mentioned.

Let's give it a try then.

Anyway, she's just a high school student like her, how much stronger can she be?

She was determined to defeat him today, to make him kneel on the ground, and to make her grandfather take back his words.

"You're afraid of him, aren't you?"

Keiko Takeda glanced at Hiroichi Matsumura and the others.

"I'll be facing him in a bit."

“You all better watch out, our Shinkage-ryu Yagyu-kan is not like trash like you.”

She pursed her lips, looking very confident.

On the other side, Morikawa Yu also saw her confidence and shook his head.

He patted Emi on the shoulder, took the bamboo sword from her hand, flexed his wrist slightly, and walked towards the center of the dojo.

Chapter 127 One minute is enough

Because of his actions, many people turned their attention to him.

Morikawa Yu remained unmoved, but simply went to the middle of the dojo, looked at the four instructors, and exchanged glances with them.

Momoi Daisuke was initially a little embarrassed, but after learning his identity, he became more at ease, while the other teacher looked on with awe.

Kondo Goro hesitated for a moment, preparing to get up, but Takeda Ichiro pressed his hand down.

He shook his head and turned his gaze to Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu looked at the students and smiled.

"Everyone here is a highly accomplished disciple from their respective dojos, right?"

"They all certainly have an extraordinary air about them."

"I am the head of this kendo club, so I will ask you all for some pointers first."

Keiko Takeda immediately stepped forward and took the bamboo sword handed to her from the side.

However, Morikawa Yu didn't even look at her; his gaze swept over her and looked at all the dojo students.

"However, in order to save everyone's time, I've decided to give everyone a chance," he continued, his smile sunny and natural.

"You guys, come together."

"If anyone can still stand within a minute."

"I admit defeat."

.......

"Within one minute."

"If anyone can still stand."...

"I admit defeat."

......

A few words echoed through the dojo, and the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Whether they were students from the department or students from other dojos, they were all speechless, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What, do you think my request for time is too long?" Morikawa Yu frowned, seemingly realizing that he had been a bit unreasonable, and his eyes were filled with apology.

"How about half a minute?"

"Kisama!"

Keiko Takeda shouted sharply, raised her bamboo sword, and glared with wide eyes.

Whom do you look down on?!

Morikawa Yu turned her head and glanced at her, somewhat surprised by her angry expression.

Wow, such a perfect tongue click!

Are you a yakuza heiress too?

However, he was only slightly surprised.

Even yakuza heiresses are ranked, and Emi is unsurprisingly the most captivating type.

Twin ponytails, a cool and stylish high school girl look, great figure, and a bit of a haughty personality.

But you should listen when you need to.

Most importantly, she's an amazingly beautiful girl.

No matter how you look at it, Emi is better, and she's also your vice-minister. Anyone would know which one to choose.

Therefore, his gaze towards Keiko Takeda remained completely unwavering.

"No, I didn't look down on you."

"That's why I set the timeframe so long; otherwise, I was prepared to finish you off with one strike."

As he spoke, he smiled sincerely again, as if that were the only way it should be.

On the other side, the students fell silent.

The members of the kendo club remained silent as well.

Morikawa Yu narrowed her eyes as she looked at them, somewhat disappointed.

He deliberately acted so arrogantly and even acted like a teenager, but the students didn't react at all.

This was somewhat different from what he had expected.

He originally intended to use slightly exaggerated language to create an image of arrogance and conceit.

If these students get angry at him, it could very well spur their determination.

With determination, even if a student has very little experience points, they will become a considerable amount of experience income under the blessing of determination.

But the way the other side acted was something he really hadn't expected.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

No way, this year's韭菜 (a metaphor for retail investors) are hard to harvest.

I'd better just go and kill the bad guys.

He shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and turned away.

This action seemed to be the straw that broke Keiko Takeda's back.

She gripped her bamboo sword and walked forward, followed by students from Yagyu-kan and some students from other dojos.

Morikawa Yu stopped and turned around, looking at him with some anticipation.

However, no decision had yet appeared above Keiko Takeda's head, and the same was true for the students.

It seems that anger alone is not enough to form a decision.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

However, being able to learn about the formation of the decision made this trip worthwhile.

He also gripped the bamboo knife.

On the other side, the students of the Kagami-no-Michishi Academy remained completely silent, and not a single one came up.

Beside Matsumura Hirokazu, a guy whispered to him, "Hirokazu, how long did it take him to get here last time he beat us up?"

"A little over a minute? I can't remember exactly. Honestly, who's in the mood to remember that at a time like that!"

Koichi Matsumura replied decisively, while keeping his eyes fixed on the center of the dojo.

He had never forgotten Morikawa Yu since their last encounter, and if he were fortunate enough to witness her take action again today, it would truly be worth it.

Keiko Takeda didn't notice the conversation behind her, and even if she had, she wouldn't have bothered with it.

She just wanted to beat this guy to a pulp, even if it meant disregarding the rules of swordsmanship and ganging up on him.

Anyway, it's not like she hasn't done something like that before.

Once I defeat this guy, I'll make that arrogant bastard eat his own shoe and regret his words for the rest of his life.

She waved her hand, and the people around her surrounded her.

But the people at the very front stopped in their tracks after only a few steps.

They saw Morikawa Yu raise the bamboo sword.

It was just a very simple, ordinary action, but they still noticed something different about it.

They sensed a completely different aura emanating from Morikawa Yu.

In kendo competitions, presence and aura are very important.
