In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

If this is already Kyoya Takamachi's limit, then he is definitely stronger than his opponent.

After all, some real killer moves are not suitable to be used in sparring, so he still holds back.

Not everyone is like Himura Shinta, who knows all his moves and is stronger than him and can easily break his moves.

Many of the killing moves are fatal when used.

The two men made the same choice tacitly, and stood at a distance, sheathing their swords and preparing their weapons.

"Are you planning to use sword drawing techniques to decide the outcome?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already seen what the two were thinking.

As for the others, after witnessing the horrific confrontation just now, they didn't even dare to breathe.

In the spacious Kendo Club activity room, everything was silent for a moment.

Kyoya Takamachi moved. He used his toes to jump up and performed a cassock slash (a diagonal cut from right to left).

Hiratsuka Ryosuke arrived first, he put his hand on the end of the hilt and twisted his wrist.

Then he swung his sword horizontally at an even faster speed, bringing it right above Kyoya Takamachi's bamboo sword, forming a perpendicular position with it.

He exerted force on Kyoya Takamachi's bamboo sword and made a simple downward slash with his backhand.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed in the Kendo Club's activity room, and the winner was decided.

One of the bamboo swords broke.

You can hear a pin drop in the activity room.

Kyoya Takamachi was stunned for a moment, and his right hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.

When he came to his senses, he first threw away the broken half of the bamboo sword.

He then took off his armor and revealed a hearty smile, without any trace of the gloomy look of defeat on his face.

There are too many rules in modern kendo competitions, which restrict his ability to display his original strength.

So when he didn't get a ranking in the national kendo competition.

There has always been a resentment in my heart.

Because he never feels that he is weaker than those who rank higher.

Now, even though he tried his best, he still lost the fight against Hiratsuka Ryosuke, which made all the resentment in his heart disappear.

Today I realize that there are always people better than me.

"Deputy Minister, you are still one step ahead, haha!"

Kyo Takamachi also admitted defeat very straightforwardly and laughed heartily.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke also took off his mask, and a rare smile appeared on his calm face.

He bowed deeply to Kyoya Takamachi, "Thank you, Minister!"

Kyoya Takamachi also returned the greeting.

A duel of ancient sword techniques came to an end.

There was thunderous applause in the stadium, and the members could be said to have had an eye-opening day today.

And the passion for kendo is even higher.

It turns out that they are the only ones who are weak. Both the minister and the deputy minister are extremely powerful and terrifying.

Even Hayato Yeyama was also excited at this moment.

He secretly made up his mind to practice kendo well.

Kyoya Takamachi caught sight of an old man out of the corner of his eye and his expression changed drastically.

He turned around and bowed deeply to the old man, "Master!"

At this time, the members of the department had just noticed this strange old man.

They all made way for the old man to come in.

"You've done very well, Kyoya." Saito nodded with satisfaction.

Victory and defeat are common in the military, and practicing sword skills is even more of a training of the mind. He knew the resentment and unwillingness in this disciple's heart.

Although he lost now, his resentment has dissipated and his mentality has changed, making him happier.

Takamachi Kyoya stood up straight and introduced everyone in the kendo club, "This is my master, the contemporary swordsman, Master Saito of the ancient swordsmanship of the Muga-ryu!"

Everyone present gasped.

Swordsman is not a level, but a respectful title for certain sword masters.

For example, Kamiizumi Nobunaga of the Shinkage-ryu and Sakamoto Ryoma of the Hokushin Ittoryu are both famous swordsmen in history.

In this modern age when swordsmanship is declining, few people are called swordsmen.

"I never thought that the Fei Tian Yu Jian School still has successors. It's really touching."

There was a look of nostalgia in Saito's eyes. In the past, his ancestor Saito Ichi was an opponent of "Executioner Battousai" of the Hiten Miken-ryu, and ended up in failure.

When he was young, he also fought with the inheritor of the Flying Sword, but was slightly inferior.

Now it was the turn of his last disciple, who also met the successor of the Flying Sword, and was defeated in the end.

This made him sigh, is this fate?

"Young man, what did your master give you when he granted you the exemption?"

The old man's eyes fixed, and he turned to ask Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

According to his family's information, the inheritance of the Feitian Yujian School actually represents two directions.

One is to choose the long sword "Kikyosen Dongyue" and a cloak, which represents killing.

The other is to choose the reverse-edged sword for "real fighting", which represents protection.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke didn't understand the deeper meaning of the old man's words, but he decided to tell the truth.

"It's a knife. A reverse-edged knife really hits."

Saito was stunned when he heard this. He could see that Ryosuke was not lying.

"It seems that your teacher is also a very interesting person. I really want to meet him if I have the chance. Young man, I look forward to your future performance."

Then Saito sneered, said something confusing and left.

Everyone was still immersed in the excitement of meeting a contemporary swordsman.

Eriri drew more and more sketches of Hiratsuka Ryosuke, and finally put them into her bag with a satisfied look on her face.

I didn't expect that just by coming to the Kendo Club, I could learn so much.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka always brings her new surprises.

Just when she thought she knew Hiratsuka Ryosuke well enough, a new side of him appeared.

This made her very curious about Ryosuke.

She had never had any experience in love and didn't know what it was like.

When a girl becomes curious about a boy, it is often the beginning of her fall.

At this moment, she is still immersed in the joy of collecting a large amount of materials.

Ying Lili bit her lips lightly with her little canine teeth, and her porcelain-like face was flushed with a deep blush.

I'm going to go home and paint to my heart's content tonight!

Chapter 44 Ryou and Kashiwagi Eri

In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, the day of the meeting with Kashiwagi Eri.

Even in today's information age, due to the existence of the "publication resale system", Japan's physical book industry remains standing despite the impact of the Internet.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka was standing in front of the Fuzugawa Bookstore at this moment.

As soon as you open the door, the faint scent of books hits you in the quiet bookstore.

Scattered readers are choosing the books they want to read in the bookstore.

These physical books also have recommended spots.

The most conspicuous position is filled with the final volume of "Exploding Dark Fairy" by Yamada Fairy.

It is estimated that the final sales of her book series will exceed 200 million copies.

Ryosuke picked up a book and flipped through it casually. It still had the familiar smell of Yamada Fairy.

He believed that in the near future, "Sword Art Online" would be placed in this recommended position.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the light novels in this world, Ryosuke put down the book in his hand.

Wander through the aisles between the bookshelves and slowly select the books that interest you.

……

A blonde girl wearing blue overalls and an artist's hat was standing outside the Uzui Bookstore.

"Oops, I was too careless."

At this moment, Ying Lili felt a little regretful.

I regret handing in the original illustrations in person.

What if Ryou is a bad guy?

The high salary and the opportunity for long-term cooperation made her little head lose the ability to think.

Now that I think about it, I should have asked my family to come instead of me.

She bit her lip lightly, her face full of indecision.

After taking many deep breaths, she used one hand to straighten the painter's hat on her head.

There was only determination in those clear blue eyes.

Now that I'm here, I might as well go meet Teacher Ryou in person. Just don't go to places where there are few people.

The bookstore is so quiet that the staff can hear you if you shout.

She held her tablet computer and a file bag containing manuscripts, and walked into the bookstore with her two white silk legs.

There is still half an hour until the agreed time.

Ying Lili plans to find a book to pass the boring waiting time.

She walked into the aisle of bookshelves and was overwhelmed by the wide variety of books.

Finally, Eriri set her sights on an ordinary romance light novel.

She squatted down and took out the book.

But I didn't expect that there was another person opposite me who just happened to take the book in the opposite position.

Through the gap in the middle of the bookshelf, the two people's eyes met for a moment.

Ying Lili's pupils shrank slightly, and she was a little at a loss.

Why would Hiratsuka Ryosuke appear in such a place? !

Recall that Hiratsuka Ryosuke had a signed book by Yamada Fairy in his hand.

A possibility suddenly occurred to her.

Is he also a hidden homebody like me?

All of a sudden, she understood and felt that she had also caught the other party's weakness.

Eriri chose to put the book back to its place, and went over to exchange evidence with Hiratsuka Ryosuke, and they agreed to keep it a secret.

In this way, everyone will still be in their original image at school and all problems will be solved.

It was not suitable to talk in the bookstore, so Eriri walked to the other side of the bookshelf and gave Ryosuke Hiratsuka a look that said "follow me".
