Across Tokyo as Hokage

Chapter 23 Training and Retaliation

It was before yesterday!
Abe Kenta and Takahashi Yuto may persuade Uesugi not to be impulsive.

But after yesterday, they naturally know that their friend's swordsmanship is not weak, at least a few dozen will not be a problem.

"Ashu, teach this guy a lesson and let him understand that we are not easy to mess with!" Kenta Abe forcibly held back his smile, and softly encouraged Uesugi who was kneeling beside him, wishing to replace him with his own body and beat him up You have to kneel down and sing about conquering.

"Freeze said!"

Takahashi Yuto is not as impulsive as the unreliable Abe Kenta. He stopped his friend first, and then reminded in a low voice:
"Uesugi-kun, I heard that the other party has studied in the kendo hall for a while, so don't be careless!"

If you lose in front of so many students and make a fool of yourself, you don't have to wait for later, the news will spread throughout Mitsubishi High School on the same day, so no matter how strong you are, you have to be careful.

Takahashi Yuto did not stop Uesugi from playing.

If you refuse this kind of challenge with no gap, you may not be able to hold your head up in the future. Whether you can win or not is one thing, but if you don't even have the courage to face the challenge, you will naturally be looked down upon.

"Ok!"

Uesugi nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard it, and he did not intend to refuse the challenge, on the contrary, he was a little impatient, after all, this was an opportunity to repair the other party in a fair and honest manner.

Naturally, the temporary teacher would not reject such a student who took the initiative to stand up, so he signaled the two to change into equipment.

Seeing that Uesugi agreed to practice sparring with him, Nishimura Eita could hardly restrain the excitement in his heart.

He didn't believe that the opponent could still snatch the bamboo knife from him under such circumstances. Once the two sides practiced, with his strength after practicing for several years, although he was far from professional level, he was definitely not weak in his first year of high school.

Naturally, sparring does not mean that everyone is hacking with bamboo knives, but it will be carried out as in a regular game.

The two must first wear the top (helmet), the body (to protect the chest and abdomen), the armor (the back of the hand, the fist), and the pendant (to protect the lower body). Even if it is a bamboo sword, no one said that nothing will happen. After all, as long as the strength Enough, blunt weapons can kill people, so naturally you have to be prepared before you can practice.

Fortunately, it was April instead of the hot summer, and even if they were fully armed, they would not feel too stuffy. The two of them each put on their armor with the help of a few students.

call!
Uesugi looked at the hands covered by Kato through the special mask, and couldn't help but lightly clenched his fists. He felt that the equipment didn't affect his flexibility much, so he raised his head in satisfaction.

"Ashu, come on and beat that guy!" Kenta Abe handed him a bamboo sword. He doesn't care what he usually uses, but if he is practicing according to the rules of sports kendo, he can only use this kind of sword with the front end wrapped in cowhide. Bamboo swords, wooden knives cannot be used.

"rest assured!"

Uesugi held the bamboo sword and whispered something confidently.

If you can't deal with Nishimura Eita at the professional level, even with the blessing of swordsmanship at the entry-level professional level, then the swordsmanship skill should not be called a low-level skill, but a garbage skill.

Although the memories brought about by swordsmanship ability are all life-and-death battlefield swordsmanship, not modern sports swordsmanship, but the experience, way of exerting force, pace, reaction, etc. are naturally interlinked, and they will not all disappear. This is enough for him won.

Three students were selected to serve as referees, and each of them stood in a triangle with two small red and white flags.

Two referees must raise flags of the same color at the same time to count points. Both Uesugi and Nishimura Eita wear a red and white palm-wide cloth strip around their waists, representing their respective colors.

And the premise of getting points must also ensure the 'air sword consistency + remnant heart'.

Qi means that the attacking position must be moved out of the hand before scoring points, so as to avoid being hit like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

The body means that you must attack the opponent's face, small hands, trunk, and throat. Maliciously attacking other places will be punished.

The sword means that you can only use the bamboo knife to score points from the top quarter area, and other places are invalid.

Canxin refers to maintaining vigilance. If you succeed, you will either jump away at the first time, or make a supplementary posture.

This knowledge is what the teacher just said, otherwise Uesugi would not know that there are so many rules in sports kendo.

All the students knelt and sat around the competition field, staring at the two people who were wearing protective gear and could only be distinguished from their belts. This kind of battle was very interesting for both men and women, at least it was more interesting than those rigid knowledge.

"If you beg for mercy now, maybe I will be gentle!" Nishimura Eita said proudly in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Really, I'll give you this too!" Uesugi's hands were already itchy.

"Prepare!"

But without waiting for the two of them to say a few more words, the student acting as a temporary referee spoke out under the teacher's signal.

After all, this is not an international competition, so we have to start with something like 'something from the leader', so let's just do it without talking nonsense.

Both sides took two steps back and began to set up an offensive posture.

Nishimura Eita took the above posture, that is, held the sword in both hands and raised it above the head, making it clear that he was going to attack violently. This posture is very convenient to smash the enemy's dog's head, and it also has the meaning of belittling the enemy.

Uesugi puts the point of the sword at the middle of the enemy's face. This posture balances offense and defense, and it is a royal posture.

"The trial match begins!"

The referee standing between the two waved his hands down to signal the start of the game.

"Mian!", the voice sounded.

Uesugi didn't even think about it, and directly slashed the opponent away with the bamboo sword. The opponent was attacking at his own face, although it was impossible to cause any damage, but he just wanted to slap his face.

Because he was not very used to this kind of sports kendo, Uesugi was at a disadvantage for a while, and was defeated by Nishimura Eita.

"How could this be? Ashu is so strong!" Kenta Abe never expected that Uesugi, who was able to win in one-on-one with a wooden sword yesterday, would be forced to lose by the opponent. Eita Nishimura is not a master of swordsmanship. Otherwise, it would have been shown off.

"I don't know, but Uesugi-kun doesn't seem to be used to this kind of sparring!" Takahashi Yuto knows a little about kendo, and at least he has formed the Budo Club, so he can see something.

Many girls looked worriedly at Uesugi who was at a disadvantage. After all, compared with Nishimura Eita, one likes to bully the weak and the other has a sense of justice.

"Uesugi-kun!" Kujo Ayano, who was huddled in the corner behind her flat-rimmed glasses, had clear eyes shining with worry, and clasped her hands tightly to her chest.

Snapped!
The bamboo swords of the two sides handed over, and then pressed down on each other vigorously at the same time.

"What's the matter, is this what you are capable of? Wasn't it very strong last time? If you kneel down now, I might make you admit defeat!" Eita Nishimura was extremely excited, and the sweetness of revenge came to her brain, and she couldn't control it Live provocatively.

"I hope you can still maintain your current mood later!" Uesugi pushed forward with both hands, and his body backed up with strength. He already understood how to score and attack in sports kendo.

"hand!"

At the same time as he shouted, the bamboo knife in his hand quickly slashed towards the back of the opponent's hand like a poisonous snake.

Snapped!
Because of the counterattack caught off guard, Nishimura Hideta reacted a little slower, and was hit hard. If it wasn't for the cover of Kashou, it would not be impossible to break a bone.

But even with protection, there will still be pain. This sword made Nishimura Eita gasp.

"One eye!"

The three selected referees lighted up the red flag. They saw the attack process clearly, and saw that Uesugi immediately retreated to keep his heart. Naturally, it was impossible to blow the black whistle. Although Kenta Abe wanted to come up and blow it, he didn't. was chosen to be the referee.

Since the three-point winning system is adopted, that is, three points are required to win, and Yimu is also called Yiben, Yifen, whatever it is called is normal.

"Great!", Abe Kenta couldn't help but realize that this is a classroom, so he shut up immediately.

"Not bad!" The instructor stood aside and nodded slightly.
