Sigh, love is blind.
As a man, Tomoya Saito also had an ego. It was fine if the girl that he had a crush on had bet for Kimura Kazuki to win, but what’s more, the bet was that Kimura would seckill he himself.
Tomoya Saito was quite upset about it! Although he knew that he definitely could not seckill Kimura Kazuki within 0.5 second, he also could not bear to lose his grandeur.
His grandeur was bet on with 10,000 yen! When he knew about this matter, Kimura Kazuki did not give any remarks. As long as Tomoya Saito was happy with it.
When Ikioi Ito was talking to Kimura Kazuki, there were many discussions going on in the group. It had been a long while since any newcomers joined in. After all, they were the young generation who belonged to the popular circle, and Ikioi Ito had basically gathered them all. Why would a newcomer appear out of nowhere? However, since Kimura was invited by Ikioi Ito himself, everyone was led to believe that the newcomer must be someone whose identity or strength was on par with them.
After Ikioi Ito had finished chatting with Kimura Kazuki, they turned their focus to the discussion in the group. He went ahead and said, “The newcomer who had just entered is Kimura Kazuki, let us welcome him. ”
In fact, most of the people had already guessed so. Now that Ikioi Ito has spoken out, everyone rushed to welcome him with words.
While everyone was welcoming him, Kimura Kazuki changed his nickname to his real name in the group, then he took his time in typing, “Regarding the competition tomorrow, I have placed a bet of 10,000 on myself for winning in just 0.5 second.”
After the message was sent out, there was dead silence in the group.
Tomoya Saito has also bet himself that he would be winning in 0.5 second, but he did that for his pride… No one had faith in him that he would be able to make it happen. However, after Kimura Kazuki had become part of the group, he had expressed his confidence, which everyone took as arrogance.
After the message was delivered, Kimura Kazuki did not say more.
Ikioi Ito did not bet on anything. If he did, it would mean offending Tomoya Saito. Although he did not care much about it, a peaceful atmosphere should still be maintained among the group members.
Kimura Kazuki had promised him that if he won, the money would be divided into two.
At this moment, Tomoya Saito was lying on his bed, watching the group chat quietly. He had read about the message that Kimura Kazuki sent. He actually had nothing against Kimura Kazuki. However… Katsuki Sugawara had bet 10,000 yen on Kimura Kazuki, yet she did not put a single bet on him, thus both of them were rivals in love.
As rivals in love, there was nothing much to say. Tomoya Saito had made up his mind, he must win tomorrow. He wanted to let Katsuki know that he was the strongest, not Mizuki Sugawara, and not Kimura Kazuki.
On the second day, there was a stretch of cloudless blue skies. The Fukuoka Budo Gym was already crowded by 9 o’clock in the morning. The audience at the seating area were all full of excitement. They were thrilled as today would be the day the champions from the Men’s Team, Women’s Team, and individual competition would be chosen.
Three champions would be picked out by today. Even if there were tourists who were watching the competition for their very first time and had no idea about Kendo, they could still feel the hyped up atmosphere in the gym. This kind of atmosphere had a great effect on everyone, making them keep their eyes locked on the field.
Currently, Kimura Kazuki, Tomoya Saito, and Mizuki Sugawara were the three most popular Kendo contestants throughout the internet.
Based on the views of the audience, the Jade Dragon Flag was extremely extraordinary this year. In the previous years, everyone only cheered for their schools. However the individual contestants this year were too impressive. Each of them was stronger than the previous candidates. In the past, there was nothing special about the individual candidates, but this year it was all about the individual candidates’ abilities.
So, not only Kimura Kazuki was given the nickname of “One Hit Man”, but the other two candidates were also given nicknames. For instance, Tomoya Saito was known as “Dragon of Destruction” by the internet users. They had even created a hexagonal data about it. This was because Tomoya Saito’s sense of power was amazingly strong, so he had a unique edge every single time when he seckill’d his rival. In fact, the Saito family’s Shinto Munen-Ryu was a Kendo that emphasized on imposing manner and strength.
Meanwhile on the Internet, the strength of Tomoya Saito’s hexagon data chart was maxed out.
In addition, Tomoya Saito had a tall figure, he was taller than Kimura Kazuki. He was approximately 1.88 meters tall, which was quite rare in Japan. Thus, when people in [Camp Kensei] knew that he had a crush on Katsuki Sugawara, their faces distorted in confusion.
Tomoya Saito was 1.88 meters tall while Katsuki Sugawara was 1.45 meters… The height difference was impressive.
Kimura Kazuki and the other two contestants from the Men’s Team have now moved to the center of the field.
However, the first match in the morning was Meiki High School vs. Geien High School. The audience did not rush about it, as the first match would act as a warm up for today’s competition. Of course, many people felt pitiful for Geien High School, as they were able to make up to top four because of pure luck. There were many other groups of contestants who were stronger than Geien High School.
Putting the ones that lived far from them aside, the nearest would be Aoe High School and Yuki Gyo High School from Tokyo.
Even though both Aoe High School and Yuki Gyo High School were not the official national teams, they were the national teams in the hearts of the audience.
Sadly, both of the teams were eliminated by stronger ones. Aoe High School was eliminated by Sakura Kyu High School. While for Yuki Gyo High School, it was unfortunate for them to have to face Meiki High School on the very first day. However, in the end they were eliminated by Mizuki Sugawara.
Meanwhile for Geien High School, their strength was only considered average. There was no “king” in the team, so everyone did not have any great expectations from them.
There was no way to change reality. When the competition began, Geien High School had already been eliminated by Meiki High School… There was not even a need for Mizuki Sugawara to show up on the field.
Mizuki Sugawara, who sat at the resting area, was disappointed because he wanted to show off his skills on the field. However, he was satisfied when he thought about his given nickname “Void Swordsman” on the internet. Their next plan was to defeat Kimura Kazuki and win the championship of the Men’s Team and individual competition in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition, then the trip to Fukuoka would be complete.
By the end of the year, he would still continue taking down other families, and receive the inheritance from Sword Saint Takeda. He would be invincible for the rest of his life. As he thought about this, Mizuki Sugawara was very pleased.
In his opinion, Kimura Kazuki must be stronger than Tomoya Saito… Well, he did not witness this with his own eyes, but it was because Kimura Kazuki had previously seckilled Ikioi Ito… Although Ikioi Ito had just entered the second stage of sword power, that was just it. Kimura Kazuki taking down Ikioi Ito had left them speechless. However, as he thought of Kimura Kazuki had once won over Ikioi Ito at the Tokyo District Qualifiers, Kimura Kazuki must be familiar with Ikioi Ito’s Tousaku-Ryu, thus this no longer felt shocking to him.
In fact, in the previous competition, Tomoya Saito, Kimura Kazuki and him had defeated their opponents within seconds. It was just that Kimura Kazuki looked much more relaxed, and that was how he got the nickname of “One Hit Man”. If not, he might not have been given such an honorable nickname.
“Let’s have a 15 minutes break. Sakura Kyu High School and Gyokutoku High School, please be prepared. ”
Although the competition was exciting today, there were fewer matches, compared with the past few days, which were quite packed. Thus, the audience and contestants had time to make preparations.
