I'm having fun in Tokyo

"Before you returned, Huijian had already competed with the disciple, but was easily defeated by the disciple and was dissatisfied."

"When she saw you return, she knew you were going to compete. And since she knows you better than I do, she guessed that you had forgotten that I was also participating in the competition. So she wanted to use you to teach me a lesson."

"And you're only realizing it now, is that right?"

She spoke calmly, looking directly into Morikawa Yu's eyes.

Morikawaha was speechless.

You understand now.

But you understand all too well.

What if my apprentice is too smart? He's not easy to fool.

He sighed, "I'm sorry, Keiko."

The girl shook her head: "No, Master, you don't need to apologize."

“I understand that you are quite busy.”

"After all, I am very ordinary, extremely ordinary. I am not as beautiful as Huijian, nor do I have a long-lasting relationship with you like she does. I am only following you because of your kindness in teaching me."

“It’s normal that you don’t remember me. I’m not angry.”

Her words made Morikawa Yu even more embarrassed.

Keiko is actually quite pretty, but unlike Emi, she isn't a naturally beautiful girl, so she appears somewhat ordinary.

But more importantly, it's Huizi's attitude.

Damn it, I've been forgetting about such an obedient and well-behaved disciple. I feel a bit guilty about it.

His expression turned serious: "Yes, Huizi."

"Don't worry, once we get back to Tokyo, I'll start formally teaching you the Wind-Riding Sword Technique."

"Let's begin the competition now."

After saying that, he returned to the starting line.

"Yes, Master, I understand." Huizi also returned to the starting line.

Before the referee could even call for a "courtesy," the two men had already lightly struck each other with their bamboo swords.

Seeing this, the referee immediately shouted: "Tokyo Sakuragawa Academy Kendo Club, Tokyo Tachibana High School Kendo Club, Grand Tournament, First Match, Begin!"

As the sound faded, the two figures collided, their bamboo swords clashing.

The battle, ostensibly a clash between a master and his disciple, has officially begun.

......

Soon, the two rounds ended, and the battle was decided.

After all, the gap in strength between him and Keiko was too great. Even though Keiko was very close to becoming a "master swordsman," she was still far behind him. Keiko's attacks were also conventional, and although there were occasional flashes of brilliance, they posed no threat to him.

In the end, he simply started giving Keiko pointers, turning the final match into a practical training exercise for her.

However, he didn't dislike this feeling.

He had just finished fighting Otamaru, and it was a fierce battle.

Now, practicing heart-to-heart talks with my own disciples has actually made me feel much more relaxed.

At the end of the round, the referee announced the result of the final match.

Keiko sheathed her sword, bowed, and addressed Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu also sheathed his sword, watched Keiko leave the stage, and walked towards the contestants' stand of the Ritsubo High School Kendo Club.

With this major battle over, he has won the final and become this year's champion of the Kui Xing Flag competition.

In other words, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Morikawa Yu turned around and looked at the players' seats behind him, made a gesture, and prepared to leave the stage and go back.

Emi waved to him as well.

The referee saw that he was about to walk off the stage and immediately reminded him.

"Mr. Morikawa, you're already the champion. You don't need to leave the stage; just wait to receive your award."

Morikawa Yu stopped in her tracks.

Oh, that's right too.

Then you can wait to receive the award, and it's not too late to go back and celebrate after you receive it.

He stood on the stage, watching the staff enter the competition venue and begin preparations.

Emi and Kondo Kaori also left the players' seats and walked towards the field.

"Minister, didn't you say you were going to give Huizi away to Yang? Why were you hitting her so gently?"

Huijian came to his side and muttered a complaint in a low voice.

She had heard Morikawa Yu use this word before and knew what "raised" meant, so she was looking forward to the minister teaching Keiko a lesson, hoping to see her make a fool of herself.

But what she expected did not happen; instead, it turned into a heart-to-heart talk between master and disciple through swordsmanship.

This made her a little disappointed.

Morikawa Yu glanced at Emi sideways.

Sure enough, she was unhappy because she lost to Keiko, so she deliberately didn't tell him Keiko's identity so that he could teach Keiko a lesson.

What a great "best friend" she is.

Both Scarlet Moon and Big Fox are more reliable than the two of you.

He shook his head: "Why don't you go yourself?"

“I can’t beat her,” Huijian said in a muffled voice. “I used to be about the same level as her, but after you took her as your apprentice, I couldn’t beat her anymore.”

It wasn't after I took her as my apprentice, but after she made up her mind that you couldn't beat her.

Chapter 351 That's Youth

Morikawa Yu mentally corrected Emi's words.

But he didn't say it directly.

"Why, Minister?" Emi looked at him and sighed again.

"You've been practicing with me for a long time, but my progress isn't obvious, while she's progressed so quickly? Why is that?"

"Do you want to know why?"

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Call me Master and I'll tell you."

Hui rolled her eyes at him: "Pervert."

"It's fine if she shouts, but I won't."

"Really not going to shout?"

"Don't shout."

"Tsk, no sincerity."

"What do you mean by not being sincere? Why don't you let Maki-sensei call you master?" Emi snorted.

Ms. Maki had just stepped down from the players' stand and entered the arena when she overheard Emi's words and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Morikawa Yu's expression remained unchanged, as steady as a mountain.

He looked at Maki-sensei's cold, beautiful face. Although he knew that Emi was trying to distract him, he couldn't help but imagine the scene of pinning Maki-sensei down and hearing her shyly call him "Master".

Ah... how decadent.

How could I have such a thought?

It must be because I've been under too much pressure lately.

Morikawa Yu pressed her temples.

Then he saw Maki-sensei come straight up to him, put her hand on his shoulder, pull his hand away, and gently massage his cheek and temples with her fingers.

Do you have a headache?

She asked softly, her voice gentle.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "No, I'm fine."

He held Maki-sensei's hand and then let go.

"Hmm." Ms. Maki withdrew her hand. "That's good. It's alright."

Morikawa Yu also nodded.

It has to be said that even knowing her cold exterior but warm heart, it was hard not to be moved by Maki-sensei's sudden gentleness.

With his mind wavering, he suppressed the perverse thoughts he had just had.

That's fine now.

Humans cannot, at least should not, and have no need to do such perverted things.

"Well......"

As Huijian watched the two interact, her little face puffed up, and she wore a complicated expression that said, "My boyfriend, whom I just started dating, was snatched away by the teacher, and he's showing off his affection in front of me. I really want to yell at him, but that's not ladylike at all, so what should I do?"

Morikawa Yu noticed Emi's dissatisfaction and was about to explain when she suddenly saw the referee walking towards the organizer's stands.

The people in the stands also came down.

Two of them had the title of "Famous Swordsman" above their heads.

They exchanged a few words with the referee, and then walked straight toward him.

Ms. Maki also saw them and said to Morikawa Yu, "That is Mr. Kamiizumi Kensaku, the president of the All-Fencing Federation, and Mr. Tanida Raima, the vice president."

"Shangquan?"

Morikawa Yu's eyes lit up: "What's his relationship with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna?"

In ancient Japan, there were many people who were called sword masters, and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was one of them. Some people even called him a sword saint.

Although he was not quite on par with another sword saint, Tsukahara Bokuden, he was still a figure of considerable renown. Later figures like Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro could only be considered his juniors.

"Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is Mr. Kamiizumi's ancestor."

"There really is a connection." Morikawa Yu was surprised.

While the two were talking, Kensaku Kamiizumi and Raima Tanida also came over.

The old man laughed and said, "There is a connection, but it's just the honor of our ancestors and the past of our forefathers."

As he spoke, he kept an eye on Morikawa Yu's expression.

Unfortunately, Morikawa Yu did not show any "nostalgia" or "reminiscence" expression.

This made him feel a little regretful.

After all, when he and several old friends heard about Morikawa Yu, they suspected that Morikawa Yu was the reincarnation of some swordsman, and even connected it to their own ancestor, the sword saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna.

However, Morikawa Yu did not use the Shinkage-ryu swordsmanship, nor did it resemble the style of other swordsmen.

This left them with no way of knowing his true identity, and they had no choice but to give up.

"Mr. Morikawa," Tanida Reima spoke up, "would you be interested in having an exhibition match with the chairman after the awards ceremony?"

"An exhibition match?" Morikawa Yu immediately showed an interested expression.

"Correct."

Tanida Raima nodded, but Kamiizumi Kensaku waved his hand.

"Don't joke around, Rema, my old bones can't take any more trouble."

"If you want to go, then do it yourself."

Tanida Reima fell silent.

He watched Morikawa Yu's fight with Otamaru and was well aware of the gap between him and the two. Even in an exhibition match, he did not think he was qualified to compete with Morikawa Yu on the same stage.
