Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

How long has the Kurogane family occupied the top position in Japanese swordsmith society?

During this period, they have done many things that have aroused public anger. People may complain in private or at gatherings with friends, but no one has ever dared to question the Black Iron Family in public.

The one who did this now was just a B-rank knight, just a small commentator.

Who gave her the courage? Is she crazy?

"It has already started. The commentator was well chosen."

Haramura Makoto blinked his eyes.

Yes, just like what the group of people below said just now, who gave this commentator the courage to say such things.

Of course it was given to him by Makoto Haramura.

Speaking of which, Tsukuyomi was originally a swordsman who was raised and trained by the Guideyuan Foundation.

If she doesn't listen to her own eldest daughter, who else can she listen to?

Shinguji Kurono presented the trophy representing the runner-up to Kurogane Ikki.

Ikki Kurogane had just raised the trophy in his hand, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Before this, he had never thought that he would be able to stand on this stage and receive such an honor.

Although he did not get the highest honor, he is still happy with himself now.

"Now……"

This time, Tsukuyomi, who had been motionless, started to speak and walked towards the podium.

"The winner of this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is the disciple of the 'Fighting God' Nango Hikojiro, contestant Haramura Makoto."

"No one knows his past, and no one knows what he was like as a child. But when he appeared, it was like a comet in the universe, illuminating all opponents of his generation. Everyone who stood before him was defeated by him. He demonstrated his absolute strength that overwhelmed his peers."

"Now, please invite Principal Shinguji to present the championship trophy to our contestant Haramura Makoto."

An even hotter light hit Haramura Makoto.

All the lights around dimmed, and even under the dazzling white light, the golden trophy shone brightly.

"congratulations."

"I think I have fulfilled our agreement."

A faint smile appeared on Haramura Makoto's lips, and he blinked his eyes.

"Of course it is."

Shinguji Kurono nodded slightly.

"Now, let's invite our 'Seven-Star Sword King' to say a few words to everyone."

A microphone was handed directly to Haramura Makoto's mouth. Under the shining white light, the capillaries on his white arms were clearly visible.

Makoto Haramura walked down the stage, took the microphone handed to him by Tsukuyomi, and gave her a look at the same time.

She also nodded slightly, understood Haramura Makoto's meaning, and walked straight to the backstage.

"Cough cough cough-"

Haramura Makoto cleared his throat.

"First, let me give you my acceptance speech."

"There's really not much to say about this. I just used my best in this game. I am sincerely grateful to all the opponents I met along the way."

"After all, I have grown up through my battles with you guys, and I have grown to where I am today."

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Although most people know that what Haramura Makoto said now are just polite words, but who can blame him for saying them so beautifully? So beautiful that people can only applaud.

The applause lasted for a while before slowly stopping.

However, Haramura Makoto had no intention of putting down the microphone. Instead, he casually placed the championship trophy that represented honor on the ground, took a step sideways, and came directly in front of Kurogane Ikki.

"But what I really want to talk about today is this."

All of a sudden!

The entire venue fell silent. All discussions and applause stopped. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

The spotlight shone directly on Kurogane Ikki.

Everyone knew that something big was going to happen next, and this man was definitely going to say something big, so no one dared to speak and could only listen quietly.

"Next, I will reveal the evidence of the Black Iron Family's crimes."

Chapter 142 Forced into the Palace

"Next, I will reveal the evidence of the Black Iron Family's crimes."

There were continuous sounds of people gasping for air at the scene, and the most appropriate description was dead silence.

Many people showed an expression of "as expected".

It was as if this situation had already been anticipated by them.

"I believe everyone should still remember the evidence of the Black Iron Family's eldest son's crime that was circulated on the Internet before the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival?"

There are still memories on the Internet, not to mention that these things happened not long ago.

It's only been about two months at most, so everyone can still remember it a little bit. As long as Haramura Makoto mentions it, they will remember it.

"Yes, that's the evidence."

"Ouma Kurogane's student status was still retained at the Muku Academy at the time, but Kurogane Takeshi actually sent his Ethics Committee Executive Director Akaza to try to force such evidence on our school's Kurogane Ikki."

“Here is the evidence that remains from that time.”

Haramura Makoto nodded slightly towards the audience, and then as if receiving a signal from Haramura Makoto, the screen was pulled down directly on the stage behind Haramura Makoto and others.

Then the picture was directly displayed above.

Everyone was staring at the scene behind Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki.

That was the scene where Akaza came to Pojun Academy in a very arrogant manner, and was about to accuse Kurogane Ikki of a crime.

Akaza's arrogant look made many people at the scene frown.

However, for many people, this is a common occurrence, after all, some of them have experienced the same thing.

They are not necessarily the Kurogane family, but many of them are subordinate families of the Kurogane family.

“Maybe everyone will be confused.”

"After all, Kurogane Ikki is the son of Minister Kurogane Yan. Even if he is not talented and is expelled from the family, there is no need to frame him with such a crime."

Yes, this is what everyone is wondering.

There is a saying that goes, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs." No matter what, you should never harm your own children.

What exactly happened between Ikki Kurogane and Takeshi Kurogane?

Why did they become enemies when they are clearly father and son?

Could it be? Kurotetsu Yan's wife cheated on him?

Many people harbored the utmost malice in their hearts and began to think in a divergent way.

To be honest, no matter how they thought about it, they could only come up with this answer, which was the most reasonable.

After all, only Ikki Kurogane is not Kurogane Takeshi's biological son, so he can do such a thing.

Otherwise, Kurogane Ikki would have become stronger later on.

It seemed like Heitie Yan still wanted to suppress him, and there was no way to explain it.

“But it’s because of talent.”

"Because his son's magic level is F, in the eyes of our Minister Kurogane Yan, Kurogane Ikki is born inferior."

"My son should be driven out of the house by me, reduced to being an ordinary person, and live like an ordinary person."

"Give up the effort, give up on yourself, no longer hope to become a swordsman, just become an ordinary person."

"This is what our Minister Kurotsuchi Yan wants to do."

Makoto Haramura pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"why?"

"Why are you not happy when your son has made progress?"

"Why must you let your son settle for mediocrity?"

Almost everyone present was puzzled. Parents who wanted their children to become successful were everywhere, but even they had never seen parents who wanted their children to become useless.

"It's simple, because our Minister Kurotsuchi Yan doesn't want his son to destroy the class society he created."

As soon as Haramura Makoto said this, almost everyone with a little bit of brains instantly understood what Haramura Makoto was referring to.

After all, most of them are people who stand above the class and enjoy the benefits brought to them by the class.

Since Haramura Makoto has made it so clear, how could they not understand?

"He wants society to function according to the classes he has set."

"High-level sword-cutters naturally occupy high positions, while low-level sword-cutters are reduced to menial tasks in society, and are not even allowed to be menial tasks."

"He thought that would stabilize society."

“Because everyone lives within their own responsibilities.”

"But his son showed up, and his son's existence was the biggest loophole in the system he established."

The spotlight was on Ikki Kurogane again, and Haramura Makoto handed the microphone in his hand to Ikki Kurogane.

Ikki Kurogane took a step forward and stood in the champion's position where Haramura Makoto should have been.

"I can't help it. It's because I don't know how to admit defeat."

"I was kicked out of the house by my father when I was a child. I naively thought that he thought I was bringing shame to the Kurotsuchi family."

"So from the moment I left home, I made up my mind that I would become stronger. I would become strong enough to make the Kurogane family proud and make my father recognize me again."

"Therefore, I decided to obtain the title of 'Seven-Star Sword King'."

"As long as we can win the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival where all the high school students from Japan gather, it will be an honor for the Kurogane family."

Having said this, Kurogane Ikki's voice suddenly paused, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his voice became a little emotional.

"I was only ten years old at the time, and I knew my F-level strength very well. It was a fantasy to think that I could do such a thing."

"So I can only make use of my only strength and continue to improve my sword skills."

"To this end, I challenged almost all the kendo schools in Japan, absorbed their swordsmanship, and integrated it into my own swordsmanship."

"I refined my swordsmanship to the highest level, and created a magical skill that allows me to temporarily fight other swordsmen."

"I can't even remember how many hardships I've gone through during this period."

Kurogane Ikki gave a wry smile.

Even though he had let it go in his heart and had figured out for whom he was swinging the sword.

But describing himself like this, telling his entire past and analyzing it by himself, still made Ikki Kurogane feel a pain in his heart.

"Such a person, Ikki, has become a thorn in the side of Minister Kurogane Yan."

Makoto Haramura took the microphone back from Ikki Kurogane and continued the narration.

"He's an F-rank knight after all."

"To dare to defeat a knight of a higher rank than oneself, this is a provocation to the system of our Lord Kuroki Yan."

"At the same time, he also saw the potential of his son and knew that if he let his son continue, the situation would only get further out of his control."

"In his opinion, the system he has carefully maintained for so long will be shattered by Kurogane Ikki."

"So it has nothing to do with hatred or other emotions. It's just a pure difference in philosophy."

Having said that, Haramura Makoto's mouth corners slightly raised up, and an unknown smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"In fact, it's already very obvious. Ikki is like Prometheus in ancient mythology, the first ray of fire brought to mankind. In order to prevent the fire from being passed on, the gods killed and punished Prometheus."
