Chapter 18: Removal of Armor

Kendo competitions are different from fencing competitions. There are no kendo uniforms that can indicate after a hit, so usually human judgment is used, with the referee raising a flag to indicate which side hit the other side first.

However, because the duel between Ryuhiko and Bando did not follow the regular kendo competition rules, there was no referee arranged for this duel.

After hearing Long Yan introduce himself, Bando couldn't help but frown slightly.

In modern kendo, the two sides usually greet each other by holding the middle part of their fists with both hands and then squatting together to show respect to their opponent.

Openings like introducing oneself are generally only used by some ancient martial arts schools.

However, as far as he could remember, he had never heard of the Kamiya Katsushin-ryu school, and it was not even recorded in some of the kendo books he had read.

However, since Long Yan had told him his family name, he naturally would not be so rude as to ignore him, even though in his opinion, Long Yan was the kind of "villain" who attacked and robbed people for money.

"Show current flow, Bando implants people!"

Different from the Kamiya Katsushin-ryu that exists in film and television dramas, Shigen-ryu is one of the ancient Japanese swordsmanship schools. Since the Meiji era, the Metropolitan Police Department of Japan has established the Metropolitan Police Ryu Wood-Tachikata, which originated from the Satsuma Shigen-ryu and is still taught in the Metropolitan Police Department of Japan today.

So generally speaking, people who study the Manifestation Stream are either police officers, or related to the police, or those who plan to enter the police academy in the future and aspire to become police officers.

After introducing himself, Bando Ueto immediately raised the bamboo sword above his right shoulder, assumed an upper position, and then chopped towards Ryuhiko on the head with a strange cry.

Looking at Bando Ueto's attack, a solemn look flashed across Long Yan's eyes.

The Shikigen-ryu school places great emphasis on attack. It is a sword technique that uses overwhelming force and speed to defeat the opponent head-on. Its characteristic is the emphasis on the large kasaya slash from above, hoping to kill the enemy with the first strike. The loud strange screams during the attack are also one of its characteristics.

The powerful blow came down on Long Yan's head without reservation. The sound of breaking wind accompanied by the bamboo sword made people have no doubt that if this big cassock slash hits, it can knock people unconscious even through the mask.

"Snapped!"

Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of martial arts level, physique, and speed, Long Yan held the bamboo sword horizontally and took on Bando Ueto's powerful and heavy Kasaya Slash.

Feeling the huge impact from the bamboo sword, Long Yan felt numbness in his palm, and the bamboo sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand because of this blow.

However, after hitting Long Yan with the sword, Bando Ueto did not have any intention of stopping. Instead, he let out strange cries one after another, and slashed with powerful upper slashes one after another, like an endless gust of wind, madly hitting the bamboo sword that was held above Long Yan's head.

If there are any players of The Witcher 3 here at this moment, they will definitely feel very familiar with this scene.

Because in Long Yan's previous life, this method of attack had a very interesting name.

New Year's greeting sword technique.

The sound of "pa pa" was endless. After being hit by three swords, Long Yan, who was passively defending, even had the illusion that his hands had lost sensation.

Knowing that he would lose if he defended for too long, he immediately turned his wrist, intending to use the moment when Bando Ueto's next attack landed to deflect his bamboo sword, then move forward closely and use the advantage of his footwork to trip him up.

After all, in formal kendo competitions, players are forbidden to use their feet, but Long Yan, who has practiced martial arts before, has no such constraints. Everything is based on knocking down the opponent, so he immediately implemented the strategy in his mind.

However, what Long Yan did not expect was that he underestimated Bando Ueto's strength.

Bando Ueto, who seemed to be trying his best before, as if he wanted to smash Long Yan and his bamboo sword to pieces with every chop, actually did not use his full strength just now.

He was waiting for the moment when Long Yan would change his tactics.

When Long Yan turned his wrist and tried to use his strength to knock Bando Ueto's big robe to his side, Bando Ueto was like a wolf hiding in the bushes, and instantly showed his fangs!

"Wa ...

The iconic strange cry of the Shixian Style was sounded, and a powerful blow directly chopped down the bamboo sword that Long Yan held above his head, and then he actually pressed down the bamboo sword in Long Yan's hand and hit his mask accurately.

"noodle!"

With a loud shout from Bando Ueto, Ryuhiko lost the first point.

However, although Bando Ueto won the first point by showing weakness to his enemy, after hitting Ryuhiko, he did not continue to pursue the victory and strike two more swords to end the match. Instead, he maintained the upper posture and slowly retreated until he was at least three steps away from Ryuhiko, and then he stood still.

Shaking his dizzy head, Long Yan did not blame his opponent for his cunning, but secretly cursed himself for being naive.

However, when he stood up and looked at Bando Ueto who was pulling away from him, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you continue to attack? If you had continued to attack using the gap just now, the game would have been over."

Facing Long Yan's question, Bando Ueto, who maintained his upper-level posture, simply responded in a solemn voice with a blank expression, "As you said, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death duel. Continuing to pursue an unprepared opponent after scoring is, in my opinion, a disgrace for a swordsman."

Hearing this, Long Yan's expression froze for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My impression of you has changed, Bando-senpai."

However, Bando Ueto seemed unmoved by Long Yan's words, and even his square face full of vicissitudes did not change his expression at all: "I don't need you to have a good impression of me, I just stick to my heart and move forward."

"Is that so..." Bando Ueto's behavior won Long Yan's respect, but Long Yan also knew that Bando Ueto would not let him win just because of his respect. Similarly, this respect could not help him defeat this powerful manifestation master.

After thinking for less than one thousandth of a second, Long Yan raised a finger and whispered to Bando Ueto.

“Can you wait for me for a moment?

Bando-senpai."

Although Long Yan's words made Bando Ueto frown, he still put down his upper posture.

Seeing that Bando Ueto did not continue to attack, Long Yan did not hesitate and directly took off the protective gear that Mouri Ran had just put on him with great difficulty.

Chapter 19: Living Towards Death (Part 1)

Mask, torso, trousers, gloves, almost all the protective gear on his body were taken off by Long Yan the same way he put them on.

I have to say that taking off protective gear is much more convenient than putting it on.

However, when Longyan took off the headscarf under the mask and was about to take off the glasses on his nose, Bando Ueto, who had been watching Longyan silently, finally spoke.

“What on earth do you want to do?

A fight without protective gear is not something a novice like you can handle. If I hadn't hit your mask with that blow just now, you would have fainted, did you know that?

Or have you decided to give up the duel, return the stolen textbook money, and apologize to Ah Qiang and the other three?"

Bando Ueto's voice was very serious, as if he was warning Long Yan not to be too stubborn, and he seemed to feel a little disappointed.

However, facing Bando Ueto's questioning, he seemed unmoved. He just put the protective gear he took off outside the field and put his glasses on the protective gear. After causing a burst of exclamations from all around, he returned to the field, stared at Bando Ueto with burning eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Live towards death. If you don't throw away these restraints, I won't be able to defeat you."

Long Yan's response echoed loudly in the empty venue. Coupled with his handsome face, it was enough to make readers feel extremely involved. For a moment, the entire venue was filled with cheers.

As Long Yan's opponent at this moment, the usually serious Bando Ueto, for some reason, had a faint smile on his majestic square face.

He felt that something seemed to have changed about Long Yan, but he couldn't put his finger on it. In the end, he just raised the bamboo sword in his hand and continued to make the starting posture of the Demonstration Style Upper Section Slash.

“My impression of you has also changed.

But I won’t show mercy just because of this.”

There was still no emotion in his tone, but after hearing what Bando Ueto said, Long Yan did not make the middle-hand grip of the sword as before, but inserted the bamboo sword in his hand into the belt at his waist, and then used his left hand to hold the blade of the bamboo sword lightly, and actually made a sword-drawing posture with the belt and palm as a sheath.

I don’t know if it was Long Yan’s illusion, but when he took off his gloves, held the handle with his own hands, and carefully felt the texture on the handle of the bamboo sword, a feeling of ease, as if it was natural, arose spontaneously.

It felt as if the bamboo sword had become one with his arm.

[My Style·Flash] is ready to go!

However, facing Long Yan who had completed his preparations, Bando Ueto's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Draw the sword and slash?

All the bells and whistles!

It seems that I misjudged you. You are obviously just a beginner, but you want to use this kind of sword skills. Do you think you are filming a Taiga drama?

Stop kidding! "

There has always been some controversy over whether the sword-drawing technique is a high-level move or a rubbish sword skill only suitable for performance, because when the sword-drawing technique was first created, it was more based on sneak attacks.

It was only after the support of subsequent film and television dramas that it evolved into the kind of "unique move" that can kill the opponent with just a flick of the wrist.

However, in the eyes of the masters who truly study swordsmanship in this world, the art of sword drawing is a top-level swordsmanship that only masters can use.

Find the opponent's weakness, draw the sword at high speed in an instant, and then kill with one strike!

In Bando Ueto's opinion, Ryuhiko, who was posing as if he was drawing his sword and slashing, looked like someone who had watched too many Taiga dramas. It was an insult to this duel, so his expression changed all of a sudden, and the slight good impression that had just risen in his heart disappeared.

The same opinion was shared by Bando Ueto and the other members of the kendo club who were sitting upright at the side. Even the yellow-haired man, the instigator of this duel, had a ferocious smile on his face. Only the girl who was previously called Busujima by Mouri Ran showed a different expression.

Her brows first frowned slightly like everyone else's, but soon, an extremely expectant expression quickly emerged on her face, as if she was the one standing in the center of the venue to compete with Long Yan.

However, no matter what the people around him think, as the center of everyone's attention at this moment, Long Yan's heart is exceptionally calm.

At this moment, his mind couldn't help but emerge with the scene of him killing 17 people in a row last night. The experience of exerting speed, strength and accuracy to the extreme made him more focused than ever at this moment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Bando Ueto, holding up his bamboo sword and assuming the standard upper-level slash stance of the Demonstration Ryu, did not give Ryuhiko too many opportunities to pose. He was already eager to end this ridiculous duel.

With a standard strange cry of the Demonstration Style, Bando Ueto, holding the bamboo sword high, suddenly rushed towards Long Yan who was ready to attack as if wrapped in the power of thunder.

"noodle!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Bando Ueto's actions clearly showed that he was trying to tell Ryuhiko.

His sword was aimed directly at the face!

However, the next moment, Long Yan moved.

Just as Bando Ueto came in front of Ryuhiko and the raised bamboo sword was about to fall like a falling meteor, using the belt as a sheath and the palm as a support, the bamboo sword inserted into Ryuhiko's belt arrived at an extremely fast speed.

Before Bando Ueto's powerful sword could unleash its full force, it was deflected by Long Yan's sword, and his entire body was briefly stiff.

"What!?"

The rapid changes made Bando Uejin shocked. At this time, the bamboo sword in his hand was swung away, and his body was wide open. Even if Long Yan in front of him swung a sword casually, he could hit his body and win the duel.

It has to be said that Bando Ueto, who was able to represent Xinghai High School as a backbone in the national competition and won two consecutive championships, has relatively rich experience in actual combat.

Although the demonstration flow that focuses on the New Year's Greetings Sword Technique relies heavily on positioning for defense.

However, with his upper body stiff and his middle door wide open, Bando Ueto was able to rely on his years of experience in practicing the Demonstration Style and, by stepping back, put half a body length away from Ryuhiko.

This is not over yet. Although he is at the stage where his old strength has not yet gone and his new strength has not yet been generated, he still relies on his nature and forcefully launches a powerful but actually weak Big Kasaya Slash at Long Yan in front of him, trying to force Long Yan back and buy him time and space to restore his balance.

but......

It seemed that his movements had already been predicted by Long Yan. Facing the Great Kasaya Slash that seemed no different from the previous one, Long Yan actually dropped the bamboo sword in his hand and used his hands as clamps to snatch the bamboo sword from Bando Ueto's hands.

Kamiya Katsushin-ryu: Bare-handed combat!

Happy New Year to all the gentlemen!!!

Chapter 20: Purgatory Tao Shou Lang (Part 2)

"Gulu!"

Quiet, so quiet you can hear a pin drop.

At this moment in the kendo field, hundreds of young boys and girls who were sitting upright around the competition venue all swallowed their saliva, opened their mouths, and stared in disbelief at the "despicable villain" who was standing in the center of the field with a knife in his hand and pressing the bamboo sword against Bando Ueto's throat.
