Across Tokyo as Hokage

Chapter 84 Ranking Battle

On the way, Uesugi also understood the reason for the closure of the gymnasium.

It turns out that the ranking battle within the genre has begun!
Yagyu Xinyinliu is a super school of kendo, with more than a thousand registered kendo gyms, and huge network and other resources. Naturally, how to allocate these resources is not through negotiation, but through internal ranking battles.

The ranking in the ranking battle determines the amount of resources allocated!
There is absolutely a big difference between the first and the last to obtain resources.

Just like this Kendo gym in Bunkyo District, the Tiandao family did not spend a single penny, but obtained it through the ranking competition within the school every three years.

Otherwise, even if the Tiandao family has little assets, it is impossible to open a kendo gym in this kind of place. After all, the price of this floor of property is at least one billion yen, and it is not surprising that it is several billion.

It is precisely because of the cruel competition mechanism that the talents and rookies of the major kendo schools emerge in an endless stream, and this year's internal ranking competition of the schools has also begun.

The so-called ranking battle is actually kicking the pavilion!

Each Gym in Xinyinliu can send three people to challenge the Gym with a higher ranking. The right to challenge is only once. If you win, you will replace the opponent’s ranking. The Kendo Hall played.

Challengers must be under the age of 30 and be registered in the alliance, and people who are not inside the genre are not allowed to participate.

In the end, the top ten gymnasiums in the ranking will each send one person to form two teams to participate in the kendo alliance's once-in-nine-year genre competition. The winners get more resources, and the losers get less resources.

The 3-year internal ranking battle and the 9-year genre ranking battle will have live broadcasts and gambling games, and a large part of the harvest will be allocated to the participating schools.

It is precisely because of these reforms that the Kendo Alliance has become a behemoth that all major schools are eager to join.

The broadcast and gambling games involve tens of billions of yen in interests, and the major schools must not fight desperately. The live broadcast and gambling games are open to the world, and this is also an opportunity to promote the swordsmanship of the major schools.

"Then what is our ranking?" After listening to Uesugi, he asked a key question.

Amanda Ayaka said proudly:

"Because of my brother's amazing performance three years ago, he is now ranked 31st!"

In the past, the Tiandao family ranked around 31 within the genre, and had been opening gyms outside of Tokyo. However, three years ago, because of the sudden emergence of Tiandao and Ma, they challenged to the [-]st place in one fell swoop and obtained the right to use this gym.

It must be understood that only those registered in the Kendo Gym can participate in the challenge.

If Xinyinliu counted the unregistered ones together, the number might be more than doubled. Although those gyms opened privately, although their property rights are not affected by the ranking, they are not eligible to participate in the ranking competition.

"Who is here to challenge us today?" After understanding the rules, Uesugi asked worriedly. If the other party has no confidence, it is impossible to challenge.

"It's from Tian Ruicho, and the other party is ranked 112!" Ayaka Amada gave the answer.

The names of small genres are all kinds of strange, but for large and super genres, the registration format is absolutely uniform.

Just like the one in the Tiandao family, the official name is [Yagyu Shinin-ryu Bunkyo main building], and the one in Tianzui-cho is [Yagyu Shinin-ryu Tianzui branch building]. The abbreviation is the place name.

The two of them walked to the back door while they were talking. Caixiang Tiandao opened the door with her fingerprints and led Uesugi into the gymnasium. At the same time, she whispered:
"You are an official member of the school, maybe you will be required to play in the internal ranking battles in the future, so my father asked me to ask you to come and see, now you give me your phone for safekeeping!"

That's why she urged Uesugi to come.

And in this kind of occasion, it would be too embarrassing if the phone rang, so it was considered polite not to bring the phone. Since she was not an official member, she didn't have to worry too much.

"Well, sorry for the trouble, senior!" Uesugi took out his mobile phone and handed it over.

This is his own mobile phone, not the old functional phone that is not only turned off, but also has its battery and calling card removed. That mobile phone belongs to 'Tengu Samurai', and it is absolutely impossible for him to touch it when he is using his real identity.

"Come here to change clothes." Ayaka Amada took the phone, took Uesugi to the dressing room, and handed him a set of kendo uniforms at the same time.

The white coat and the black hakama are brand new, and the name Uesugi is written on the chest, which shows that the clothes are specially prepared for him, not the ordinary kendo clothes prepared for students.

After changing into the kendo suit!
Uesugi looked at himself in the mirror.

A head of broken black short hair, standard sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose bridge and lips that seem to be smiling at any time form a three-dimensional facial features. There are no blemishes on the fair face, but it does not give people any sense of weakness, because there is a sense of confidence And a calm aura emanated from his bones.

Except that his figure is still slightly thin, he can be said to be an out-and-out handsome guy at this time.

It's no wonder the girls in the class looked at him almost as if they wanted to eat him, and the confession letters they received gradually increased.

Before he got the system, Uesugi’s appearance might be less than half of what he is now. After all, love is born from the heart, and his skin is definitely not as good as it is now. Today, when he suddenly looked in the mirror, he discovered the huge change in his appearance.

"Do you need help?" Amada Ayaka's voice sounded outside the door. It was a little troublesome to wear a kendo uniform, and occasionally she would ask for help.

Uesugi smiled at himself in the mirror, then opened the wooden door barefoot and walked out of the room, took the hand and said:

"Let's go, senior sister!"

Self-confidence comes from his strong strength, which is a kind of self-confidence that "fate is in his own hands", and those who are rich and powerful naturally have this kind of self-confidence.

Walking barefoot on the bright wooden boards, a sense of coldness gushes out, which calms down one's emotions, which is more in line with the feeling of "Zen mind" in kendo.

Walking into the front hall from the back hall, you can see two groups of people wearing kendo robes but clearly facing each other and sitting on their knees.

Masato Amashima was wearing a black kendo jacket, the color of which was quite different from the others, and the owner of Tianzuimachi, who was sitting opposite him, was also wearing a black jacket, which was very conspicuous in the white snow.

The number of people on both sides is not too large, less than ten people on one side.

Naturally, ordinary students will not be allowed to participate in the internal competition of the genre, and there are personnel on the side who are unfolding the tripod and debugging the live broadcast equipment.

Ayaka Amada pulled Uesugi and walked to kneel behind Masato Amashima. Because she didn't dare to speak loudly, she could only lean into Uesugi's ear and explained in a low voice:
"That's the staff of the Kendo Alliance. There will be live broadcasts and gambling in the internal battles of large and super genres!"

A cool and strong fragrance of gardenia wafted towards the cedar tree, so beautiful that normal people couldn't hold it back.

Tiandao and Ma, who were sitting next to the two, naturally noticed the movement behind them, but they didn't utter any reprimands. It was not up to him to make decisions on such occasions, so they could only stare at them with their eyes, signaling that they should be in this situation. Be serious.

On the other hand, Masato Amashima was drinking tea with the owner of Tianzuimachi, chatting about unrelated kendo, and the two seemed to have not seen friends for many years.

But Uesugi sensed the confrontation hidden in the dark from the conversation between the two parties.

The opponent came to "kick the hall", once they won, the two sides would change positions. This is not a competition, but a huge benefit. How can it be harmonious? Didn't the disciples behind both sides look dignified?

At this time, the staff of the Kendo Alliance who was debugging the device on the side made an OK gesture, indicating that the device has been debugged and has entered the live broadcast state.
