Becoming a Yakuza Boss from Tokyo

Having studied martial arts in his previous life, he had heard of the Jade Dragon Flag of the Kendo Club and the national competition.

The Yulong Flag, the National Competition, and the Kuixing Flag are known as one of the three major kendo competitions in Japanese colleges and universities. Except for the Kuixing Flag held in March every year, the Yulong Flag and the National Competition are usually held during the summer vacation in July and August every year.

Among these three competitions, Yulong Banner and Kuixing Banner are quite special in that they do not have so-called preliminaries. More than 500 teams fight fiercely in the form of knockout rounds. The special competition system allows the strong to have a chance to defeat five opponents at once. It is a veritable human-killing selection battle.

The national competitions are the competitions that Japanese high school students care about the most, such as the Koshien in baseball and the national competitions in Slam Dunk.

And when Long Yan heard Busujima Saeko say that today was the day when the Jade Dragon Flag and the finalists for the national competition would be announced, he finally understood the strange atmosphere in the club today.

Generally speaking, after the Yulong Banner and national competitions are over, the third-year students in each club will retire.

If you often watch Japanese youth-themed movies and TV series, you will probably often see an element called "The Last Summer Vacation of the Third Grade."

Long Yan once wondered whether this "last summer vacation of the third grade" was the summer vacation between the sophomore and junior years of high school, or the summer vacation after graduating from the junior year of high school.

He didn't know about this until Akagi Takenori decided to retire to focus on his studies and Mitsui Hisashi decided to participate in the autumn trials.

In Japan, summer vacation is the break in the middle of the school year, so it is totally fine to concentrate on preparing for the exam after summer vacation.

Thinking of this, Long Yan's gaze subconsciously fell on Bando Ueto.

I didn't expect that this usually dignified acting teacher would also get nervous sometimes.

However, Long Yan did not take this so-called starting quota seriously.

His purpose in joining the Kendo Club was purely to learn the Breathing of Fire from Rengoku Momojuro and to hone his combat experience at the same time.

Although he had some aspirations for this national competition full of youthful atmosphere, the situation he was facing now did not allow him to leisurely relive the regrets of his youth.

However, this tense atmosphere did not last long and dissipated as Rengoku Momojuro walked into the kendo hall.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Purgatory!"

The moment Rengoku Momojuro stepped into the kendo hall, the members who were warming up and Bando Ueto who was sitting upright in meditation all bowed and greeted him.

"Very good, everyone is in high spirits."

After entering the kendo gym, Rengoku Momojuro, with a smile on his face, responded to the members with a smile on his face.

Seeing that all the members were looking at him expectantly, Momojuro obviously understood what everyone was thinking. He did not keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

“As everyone knows, aside from the Jade Dragon Flag which does not have a preliminaries, May of each year is the day for the national competition preliminaries. According to past practices, our Kendo Club usually decides on the seats for the regular players at the beginning of the school year.

Next, I will announce the list of players selected.

Of course, I am not the only one who has the final say in our Kendo Club. If anyone disagrees, they can challenge the regular contestants. I will try to be as fair as possible to prevent a round-robin match. After all, there is still a long time until May."

After saying this, Momojuro glanced around, and seeing that no one raised any objection to his words, he continued.

"I will be the general this year, Busujima-san will be the deputy general, and the core position will still be left to Bando-senpai."

Momojuro announced the names of the generals, deputy generals and backbones in one breath. There was no doubt that although Bando Ueto had been defeated by Ryuhiko before, in the eyes of everyone in the Kendo Club, these three were undoubtedly the strongest three in the Kendo Club.

What makes Long Yan a little strange is that, isn’t there a distinction between male and female groups in kendo competitions?

Although Busujima Saeko is very strong, is it really okay for her to directly serve as a deputy general?

However, his doubts did not last long as Momojuro announced the remaining two candidates.

"Second-year player Akutsu will be the second-forward, and as for the forward position..."

Having said that, Momojuro's voice paused slightly, then he glanced at everyone, and then continued in a deep voice.

"I'll leave it to you, Long Yan!"

An unexpected name came out of Momojuro's mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, an uproar instantly exploded in the kendo hall.

.........cut.........

PS. This chapter is deliberately placed at 12 o'clock. I hope my novel can accompany my friends through the Year of the Ox, leaving all the bad luck in the last year, and ushering in good fortune in the new year!

Chapter 38 Anyone who disagrees can come and fight

As soon as Momojuro finished speaking, the entire kendo hall seemed to explode.

Especially some of the third-year members, if it weren't for the prestige that Momojuro had accumulated and Bando Ueto standing by with his eyes wide open, they would have probably rioted collectively.

In their opinion, the second-year player Akutsu was worthy of being the second striker. After all, they were all in the same club and knew each other's strengths well.

But Long Yan is different.

Although Ryuhiko defeated Bando Ueto and his double flash in the battle with Busujima Saeko was quite impressive, it was obvious that those were practical techniques and might not produce the same effect if applied under modern kendo rules.

In addition, for some third-year students, this year's Jade Dragon Flag and national competition is their last summer vacation. If they cannot get a place in the main selection, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. That's why they had such a big reaction when Momojuro announced that Ryuhiko, who had just joined the club, would be the main selection player.

"quiet!"

As the noise became louder, a loud shout suddenly rang out from Tao Shoulang's mouth.

In an instant, except for Ryuhiko who was still chatting with Busujima Saeko and made himself feel like an outsider, the indignant third-year seniors and the talkative first- and second-year members all stopped talking and focused their eyes on Momojuro.

Just now, Long Yan had understood the Jade Dragon Flag and the competition system of the national competition from Busujima Saeko.

This world is indeed different from my previous life. Although various kendo competitions are still divided into male and female groups, some university kendo clubs allow transgender participants to participate if they believe that members of the female group are qualified to take the official seats in the male group.

It’s just that such a situation is relatively rare. After all, men have certain innate advantages in terms of strength and physical strength.

As a woman, she participated in the men's competition as a regular player. She was just as good as any man. Even Long Yan, who had a clear understanding of Busujima Saeko's strength, couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration on his face.

After stopping everyone's discussion, Momojuro first glanced at everyone in the Kendo Club.

Should we say that Big Brother is worthy of being Big Brother?

Although Momojuro used to be heartless and seemed to take everything lightly, once he got serious, his captivating aura made everyone who met his eyes involuntarily look away.

Seeing that no one was making any more noise, Momojuro continued, "As I said before, if anyone is unconvinced by the selected contestants, they can challenge them. At present, everyone's objections seem to be focused on Akutsu and Ryuhiko. What do you two think?"

Hearing this, the silver-haired boy named Akutsu straightened his back and responded loudly: "Welcome to the challenge from all the seniors. I will prove that I can carry the name of Xinghai High School!"

Akutsu's response was brief and well received.

In the kendo club, whether it is the second-year students who are the same age as Akutsu, or the third-year students who are a year older than him, they all know Akutsu's background very well.

This is a beast that was tamed by their captain, Rengoku Momojuro himself. It took him less than a year to grow from zero to the strongest genius in the kendo club, second only to the top three.

Faced with Akutsu's response, no one dared to touch his tiger's whiskers.

In an instant, Long Yan once again became the focus of the kendo hall.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Long Yan scratched his head helplessly.

He didn't have any hard feelings towards Momojuro who pushed him to the forefront, but now he really didn't want to participate in this national competition which would take up a lot of time.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but respond: "Forget it, I joined the Kendo Club just to hone my swordsmanship and make myself stronger. I'm actually not used to the modern Kendo competition rules."

Long Yan was not lying about this. Having practiced martial arts in his previous life, he focused on killing the enemy in the most efficient way.

It would be better to use this time to do basic exercises than to let him participate in a game where he can only "score" by hitting the designated position.

However, after hearing his words, before the kendo club members around him could say anything, Momojuro shook his head slightly.

“You, who were able to defeat Bando-senpai with your actual combat skills, cannot possibly be unable to adapt to the modern rules of kendo.

This is like two people with their hands tied fighting with knives. The winner must be the one with more practical experience. "

Seeing that Momojuro insisted, Long Yan couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

However, just as he was wondering whether he should reject Momojuro more forcefully, Busujima Saeko poked him in the ribs with her elbow and whispered in his ear.

"Haven't you always wanted to have actual combat training with Minister Purgatory?

Because of his training at home, he usually only appears in the department once or twice a week.

But it would be different if he became a regular player.

Not only can you get his personal guidance and practice with him, but I heard that his father will occasionally take the time to give some guidance.

You know, although the father of Minister Rengoku is not well-known, he is a great swordsman who is no less powerful than my father. If I hadn't been practicing the family's Busujima-ryu, I would have wanted to switch to his school."

Because the distance was too close, feeling the warm breath coming from his ears, Long Yan's body subconsciously felt a tingling sensation.

But compared to the beauty beside him, what Busujima Saeko said attracted his attention more.

Training in actual combat with Rengoku Momojuro and even getting some pointers from his father?

It is known that this world is an overlap of the world without demons after the finale of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The 17-year-old Rengoku Momojuro was able to practice the Breathing of Flame to level 19 without fighting any demons.

So......

As the inheritor of the Breathing of Fire that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years and the legitimate successor to the contemporary "Flame Pillar", how strong must his father be?

Thinking of this, Long Yan's body couldn't help but tremble.

Before Rengoku Momojuro could continue to persuade him, he left the team and came to Momojuro's side.

Then, he turned around, looked at the huge group of people in front of him, stood with his sword in hand and said.

"I accept this vanguard position. Anyone who disagrees can come and fight!"

.........cut.........

PS. It’s a new January, and it’s also a new year. While I’d like to wish you all a happy new year, I’d also like to ask for the guaranteed monthly tickets and blades given by the system every month. Thank you for your support~~~!

Chapter 39: A Gentleman is Not Respectful If He Does Not Take His Own Respect into Account

As the sun sets, the dim afterglow shines through the windows of the kendo hall and shines brightly on the wooden floor of the venue.

However, the drama taking place in the kendo hall at this time was not as warm as the warm sunshine.

"boom!"

"boom!"

With a lightning-fast thrust, the blade of the bamboo sword accurately hit the open torso. Then a figure flew in the air like a low-flying football for nearly two meters before falling heavily to the ground.

"next."

The perfect amount of force made the opponent unable to fight again without hurting his bones. After easily winning two points, Long Yan no longer looked at the third-year senior who was knocked down by him, but just called softly to the kendo club members sitting around him.

This was the twelfth third-year member he had defeated.

Ever since he accepted the position of vanguard of Xinghai High School's Kendo Club, from 4:6 in the afternoon until now at o'clock in the evening, for nearly two hours, he stood in the field like a god of war, standing firm.

Because he knew that when facing the Japanese who believed that the strong are respected, he should convince them with reason from the inside out.

Haven’t you seen the wise saying Confucius said more than two thousand years ago?

Confucius said: "If a gentleman is not respectful, he will not be respected."

This is a warning to future generations that a gentleman must use heavy force when hitting others, otherwise he will not be able to establish his own prestige.

Long Yan, who had been an excellent student since childhood, was naturally familiar with "Lun Yu" and firmly implemented this idea. No matter whether others believed it or not, he believed it.

For a moment, the huge dojo was silent as a cicada, and no one dared to step forward to challenge.

After a brief silence, seeing that no one dared to challenge again, the members of the Kendo Club sitting around the edge of the training ground began to whisper in disbelief.

“This… This is already the twelfth third-year senior he has defeated, right?

What’s even more terrifying is that until now no one has ever scored at least one point against him. What kind of monster is this?

Is there no one in the second grade who dares to challenge him?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Even the third-year seniors are no match for him. What can we do if we go up there?

Besides, didn’t you notice that those who just went up to challenge were all third graders?

This year's Yulong Banner and national competition is their last summer vacation. If they don't seize this opportunity, they may have to retire.

Anyway, we still have one year to go, so there is no need to rush, right?"

"But...but even if Bando-senpai graduates next year, whether it's the head of Rengoku, the deputy head of Busujima, or even Akutsu, they're only sophomores, and Uesugi is only a freshman this year...

Even if it comes to next year, do we second-year students really have a chance?"

Hearing this, the sophomore who had been so confident before was speechless, but after a moment he still tried to explain himself.

"Isn't there a starting spot left vacant by Bando-senpai?

It's the same as a starting spot. Instead of competing with such a monster, it's better to put your hopes on next year!"
