Tokyo Martial Arts Story

"I know there is a place called 'Zhong'. If you have a chance in the future, take Saeko to stay there for ten days and a half."

Beishan Xingyi thought for a while and said.

"What is '中'?"

Yan Kai had never heard of this place before, so he couldn't help asking.

"'Zhong' is not anywhere, it is in Japan, but you can't find its location on any map of Japan, you just need to know that it is a sinful place where there is no law and ruled by the strong That's fine. Because there are huge conflicts of interest behind its existence, both the government and the major chaebols have acquiesced in its existence, and many underground organizations also use it as a private area for development members. It doesn’t exist, most of the members are ferocious fugitives and their descendants, there are also some businessmen who do illegal business, and some rich businessmen who want to do some illegal activities openly, such as... Uh, it’s disgusting, I can’t tell .Anyway, it can basically be regarded as a den of wicked people, oh, it is similar to the description of "Valley of wicked people" you mentioned to us before, maybe even worse than "Valley of wicked people".

Beishan Xingyi's face was expressionless and authentic.

"Do you... want Saeko to complete the coming-of-age ceremony there?"

Yan Kai turned to face Beishan Xingyi.

"Killing Sword" has always had the saying of coming-of-age ceremony. To put it bluntly, it means killing people. The death of a living person becomes the coming-of-age ceremony of the "killing sword", and this coming-of-age ceremony has been silently carried out until now.

Beishan Xingyi looked directly at Yan Kai: "I just think that for Saeko, it is a very suitable place for her to grow up, and she should experience it."

"What if she doesn't come back?"

Yan Kai asked rhetorically, once you fall into the hell of killing, it is extremely difficult to climb out, and the more conscientious a person is, the more he cannot escape the condemnation of his conscience after he wakes up.

Saeko Busujima's murderous nature is innate, but this does not mean that she has no conscience and shame. On the contrary, her good upbringing makes her have a much stronger sense of responsibility and justice than ordinary people.

Beishan Xingyi looked at Yan Kai with some surprise: "You actually care about this?"

God is sorry, when will my nephew care about other people's lives?

Yan Kai frowned, he said to Beishan Xingyi seriously: "She is my friend!"

Chapter 220 The Kuixing Banner Contest Officially Begins

It is true that Yan Kai's motive for getting to know Saeko Busujima at the beginning was not pure...

No, no, no, Yan Kai doesn't want money or sex, he knows Saeko Busujima purely to ask Saeko Busujima for help, and he also prepares corresponding rewards, this motive is not too pure!

In short, at the beginning, Yan Kai did get to know Saeko Bujima with a certain purpose, but after getting along for a long time, Yan Kai also began to slowly accept the various advantages of Saeko Bujima, who is gentle, virtuous and refreshing , such a personality is very appetizing to Yan Kai, and when facing her, he no longer treats her as a simple tool person.

If he only used Saeko Busujima as a tool, he would not spend so much time and energy on her, let alone come to Akita City with the team to cheer for her in the game. These behaviors seemed silly to Yan Kai before cross.

But now, Yan Kai doesn't mind being silly for a while, because he already regards Saeko Busujima as a friend.

Just because he has regarded Saeko Busujima as a friend, he doesn't want Saeko Busushima to fall into the "Sura Way" of killing, even if she is really suitable.

Beishan Xingyi smiled. As Yan Kai's elder, she was pleased with Yan Kai's answer. Although she didn't have the right to speak, she was always worried about Yan Kai's growth.

Yan Kai was led astray by his father since he was a child, and he was indifferent to many things. Although Xue Wenrong later reacted and deprived Yan Fei of the right to educate Yan Kai, only retaining his right to teach martial arts, but "Three years old see big, seven years old Look old", not to mention that Yan Kai was already 12 years old at that time, and already had a relatively strong self-awareness. Even Xue Wenrong, it is very difficult to completely reverse Yan Kai's three views, so he can only let Yan Kai go School, let him get in touch with more people, in order to re-establish the correct three views in normal interpersonal communication.

As a result, three years have passed, with little effect. Although Yan Fei has been deprived of his education rights, he and Yan Kai are living together in daily life, and his various behaviors and words are still affecting Yan Kai, and Xue Wenrong is busy running the company. The group can't spare time to teach Yan Kai by precepts and deeds. All they can do is to engrave some bottom lines of principles into the depths of Yan Kai's consciousness, so that Yan Kai understands what to do and what not to do. Still stiff.

When Yan Kai was 15 years old, Yan Kai wanted to draw comics on a whim. Xue Wenrong sent Yan Kai to Dongying, hoping to let Yan Kai live in an unfamiliar environment and cut off Yan Fei’s influence on him to the greatest extent. Let his thinking become truly independent, so as to better reshape Yan Kai's three views.

Beishan Xingyi knows all these things that Yan Kai doesn't know. At this time, she can clearly feel Yan Kai's changes. It's been too long, but there has been such a significant change. It seems that Xue Wenrong's painstaking efforts were not in vain. Even Beishan Xingyi, an incompetent elder, couldn't help feeling relieved by Yan Kai's change.

"Anyway, I told you about the location, the specific address and some unspoken rules. I'll post it to you on the line later. You can figure out what to do in the future, so I won't say more."

Kitayama Xingyi waved to Yan Kai, and then shouted at Saeko Busujima: "Saeko, let's stop first, there is still a game at one o'clock, don't train yourself too tired, the sword can be familiar at night, now try to get it Adjust the state to cope with the next game!"

Saeko Busujima let out a long breath, gently sheathed the knife, feeling unprecedentedly comfortable, this knife was so in tune with her, when she held it, she felt as if she was going to another realm.

"Thank you Sister Xingyi, this knife is very good!"

Saeko Busushima habitually bowed long to express her gratitude, and after bowing, she remembered that Kitayama Kyoi didn't like this, so she stood up straight with a wry smile.

Fortunately, Kitayama Xingyi was thinking about something this time, but she didn't forcibly correct Busushima Saeko's habit.

The time soon came to the afternoon, and the Kuixing Banner Competition officially started. The private Shenjian School team encountered only a weak team in the first round. Out of respect for the spirit of martial arts, the opponent cannot be defeated without a fight. Therefore, although the opposing team's Kuixing Banner Tournament can be said to have ended early, the fourth and fifth rounds still have to be played, and it is also considered as a gift for the opponent. Consolation, the opponent can't travel all the way to Akita City, but go back to his hometown without even playing a game, right?

Moreover, the organizer can also check the duration of the competition and strive for a little more ratings. How great it is!

The game has been lost, but the opponent's team is still not completely discouraged. The players in the fourth round quickly walked into the arena, ready to start fighting after saluting.

As early as after the competition order was announced, this team already knew that their team was destined for the first round of the Kuixing Banner Competition. The Kendo Department of the private Shenjian School has not dropped out of the top four in the Kuixing Banner Competition in the past ten years. It's not something that their newly promoted team, which broke into the Kuixing Banner Competition by luck, can win, but as long as they can win the next game by chance, this will become their talking point in the future, so they still want to make a final effort , to prove that he did not come to the Kuixing Banner Competition in vain.

But it's useless, the seven idiots are just three-legged cat kung fu in Yan Kai's eyes, but the four of them who are being selected are already at an extremely good level among high school girls of the same age, except for those super geniuses who have already reached the level of swordsmen In addition, looking at the girls' high school students in Japan, there is no one who can beat them steadily. Anyone who is placed in the kendo club of other schools is the existence of a general. wish to end the undefeated myth of Beiwang High School.

Such a lineup has been the strongest in the past 30 years for the private Shenjian School, and it may not be possible to have a stronger lineup in the next 30 years. After the students graduated, the private Shenjian School didn't know which dynasty they would have to wait for if they wanted to get their hands on the Kuixing Banner again.

Sure enough, in the fourth game, there was no chance for the opponent to get lucky. The idiot Yan Kai whose name was unknown won the game easily. The audience in the auditorium swore that their victory was just a contrast, but the losing opponent couldn't help but burst into tears.

Their summer is over, and it ended in an extremely ugly manner. After spending a year of hard training, they were lucky enough to enter the Kuixing Banner Competition, but in the end they couldn't even win a game, or even a game in a game. I have to go back to my hometown if I don’t get it. I feel a sense of frustration of "seeing Jiangdong’s elders without face". It’s ridiculous how complacent they were when they won the qualification for the Kuixing Banner Competition. Now it seems that this place is not theirs at all. It's time to come.

What?They still have a fifth game to work hard?

Please, don't be joking, the opponent who will play in the fifth game is the leader of the private Kamma school, the famous talented female swordsman Saeko Busujima, and against the other players of the private Kamma school, they still have a chance Diudiu hoped to win, but facing Saeko Busujima who was not on the same level as them at all, they couldn't think of a second one who could defeat Dujima Saeko except for hoping that meteorites would fall from the sky to smash her to death on the field. The possibility of Saeko Shima.

Apart from Beiwang High School, Saeko Busushima's strength can be said to be the only one among the many swordsmen of female high school students in Japan. She is a proper big devil. Saeko is now more regarded as a "brave" who challenges the "big devil", and their team, unfortunately, is now the first existence used to sacrifice the flag after the brave embarks on an adventure.

The fifth game started, the main general faced the main general, and the opponent's main general, with grief and anger in his eyes, gathered all his strength on the wooden sword, wanting to show the strength of their team, even if they could not defeat Saeko Busushima, they would still hurt Saeko Busujima There are corners and corners, in short, you can't go back to your hometown without leaving anything.

This knife exhausted all the strength of the opponent's general. After the knife, the huge gap would make her defenseless like a baby, but she had already pinned all her hopes on this knife, and of course what happened after that was no longer her business. within the scope of consideration.

But unfortunately, even so, her wish still failed to come true.

Faced with this swift blow, Saeko Busujima did not straighten out the wooden sword, as if she had not entered the fighting state at all. She casually held the blade of the wooden sword with her left hand. When the opponent's general rushed up, she slid in like a loach. In her arms, the handle of the wooden knife was lightly given away.

"Well……"

The opponent's general let go of the hand holding the knife in pain, and knelt down on the ground, covering his stomach with his hands, and at the same time spit out a large puddle of gall water.

Private Kamma School, Saeko Busujima, the fifth game, win!

After leaving the field, Saeko Busujima quietly watched her opponents weeping in their arms, crying out for this complete failure, without a trace of empathy in her heart.

In any competition, there is one and only one final winner, and Saeko Busujima's goal now is to become the winner who will create many losers, so how can she sympathize with them?

Dongying is a very strange nation. On the one hand, they are extremely eager to win. It seems that other than victory, being No.2 is just a shame. But after they really lose, they can quickly accept this fact and use words such as "As long as you work hard, you will succeed." , "It's good for everyone to be together", "I didn't expect victory at the beginning, and it's good now" and other rhetoric to explain to myself, the psychological quality is first-rate, Saeko Busujima has time to care about them, it is better to go back Take the time to practice swordsmanship several times.

There are a lot fewer killings in the modern martial arts world, but the truth of winners and losers still exists, and it will never change. She must improve herself without relaxing for a moment, and cannot let herself fall into the same field as them.

The knife borrowed by Sister Xingyi is really a good knife. I really want to go back quickly and continue to practice swords with it. I feel that every time I use it to practice swords, my swordsmanship can improve a little bit.

That's what Saeko Busushima thought when she was in the waiting room.

In addition, the handle of this wooden knife is really bad. After holding the real knife, the handle of the wooden knife is already difficult to satisfy Saeko Busujima. Now I am using the wooden knife uniformly distributed by the competition. The quality is very average, and it has been used by Saeko Busushima for a long time The wooden knife made of oak wood is incomparable, which makes Saeko Busujima very uncomfortable.

It seems that I will go back soon...

Saeko Busushima sighed again.

....................................

"Ahhh! Ahhh! That Saeko Busujima, is it okay? It feels a bit difficult to beat... Ahhh!"

In the lounge of the Beiwang High School team, Shen Guyuki said while stuffing snacks into her mouth, saying that Saeko Bujima is hard to beat, but she didn't show any worry on her face and behavior.

She is the leader of the women's kendo club of Beiwang High School, so she should have such confidence!

"Axue, don't talk while eating, or don't eat while talking, okay?"

The members of the same team looked helplessly at Shen Guxue, a bit puzzled why twin siblings who were born to the same mother but separated by half an hour would be so different.

The brothers and sisters of the Feicun family, the elder brother Feicun is introverted and quiet, and will blush when talking to girls a few words, while the younger sister Shen Guyuki is outgoing and lively, wilder than the wild boy. After the school uniform, pretending to be my brother to go to school to flirt with girls caused a big farce, which also made Feicun Yixin even more afraid to talk to girls, and usually communicated more with the members of the men's kendo club , It's really a pity that Feicun Yixin has a good face... Hey, if he can get together with Okita Souji...

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not a pity!

Shen Guxue wondered why her team member sighed, and her eyes suddenly lit up, but she was eating snacks, and she was mainly thinking about another thing.

At noon today, she found that Koichi Kitayama's "Wulu" was missing, either it was put away, or it was gone. Obviously the "Nine Thousand Oaths" were still there, but "Wulu" was missing. She asked Koichi Kitayama, Kitayama Koichi smiled without saying a word, which made Shen Guyuki a little curious.

Swordsmen regard saber as their second life, and they will not leave their bodies easily. Because Koichi Kitayama doesn't like "Wulu" too much, he thinks "Wulu" is too sharp and does not match his martial arts skills, so he doesn't often bring it with him. by your side.

Two years ago, there was a bank robbery case in downtown Osaka. Koichi Kitayama happened to be working nearby at the time, and he was holding a "no dew" which is rare.

At that time, Koichi Kitayama's cultivation level had not yet reached the level of a great swordsman, but he was already very close, and he held a sharp blade like "Wulu". Of course, he easily eliminated those gangsters, but because of the evil spirit of "Wulu", It was so strong that Koichi Kitayama couldn't control it perfectly, and accidentally killed four of the gangsters.

Although Osaka is the stronghold of the Sanji faction, it is not a big deal for Koichi Kitayama to negligently kill a few gangsters in a brave manner, but Koichi Kitayama has a sense of alienation from "Wulu" because of this, and he no longer takes it with him .

It is a big taboo for a swordsman not to "unify the heart and sword" with his own sword. Koichi Kitayama felt that he could not perfectly control "Wulu" who had not yet reached the world of great swordsmen, so he temporarily abandoned "Wulu" and then devoted himself to After pursuing a higher realm, he finally reached the realm of the great swordsman after more than a year, but he still did not pick up "Wulu" again, and seemed to be still having a temper with "Wulu".

It is not an exaggeration to say that a swordsman and a sword are a husband and wife relationship, and this description is correct.

Chapter 220 Swordsman and Swordsman, the Gap of Despair

Shen Guxue couldn't figure out the whereabouts of "Wu Lu", but the Kuixing Banner Competition was still going on in an orderly manner.

In the second match, the private Shenjian School team faced the regulars of the Kuixing Banner Competition. Regular visitors mean that the strength of the opposing team is not simple. The opponent's strength is very transparent, and most players know their strength well.

After knowing the opponent's strength, Saeko Busujima made arrangements and released two substitute players to play the vanguard and second-peak games, allowing them to feel the atmosphere of the competition and warm up for next year's competition. The reason for a first-year student whose strength is obviously weak.

As for why the entire main lineup had to be dispatched in the first game, even though the team was weaker, there are two reasons. First, because it was the first time for the opposing team to participate in the competition, Saeko Busujima was not sure if the opposing team was a dark horse. It is safest to go. There are not many strong teams that have underestimated their opponents and capsized in the first round of the competition over the years. The old fritters of the private Shenjian school will not make such mistakes.

Secondly, in order to show momentum, the first battle is to win the first battle. First, shave the bald head on the opposite side to let the other teams know that they are not easy to mess with. This is very beneficial to improve the team's confidence.

After the official start of the Kuixing Banner Competition, although the players of the private Shenjian School were still laughing and joking, it was impossible to say that they were not nervous. They urgently needed an overwhelming victory to build up their confidence. Unfortunately, the first match The team encountered becomes a victim.

But still the same sentence, they are not worthy of sympathy. In martial arts competitions, food is the original sin. There is nothing to say about it. It is impossible for Busushima Saeko to have any psychological burden on the opposing team.

You know, Saeko Busujima was evaluated by Yan Kai as "two points of evil spirit on the outside, seven points of evil spirit on the inside", it is impossible to be soft hearted, her heart is actually very hard, and she is also very decisive in her actions.

In the past, she showed kindness because she regarded Yan Kai, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu and others as her friends and her own people. Of course, she has a good temper, but when facing her opponents, her attitude will appear a little cold, and she will be defeated. The opponent's methods will also become merciless.

After the opponents of the second match were confirmed, Saeko Busujima had a good idea of ​​the composition of the opponent's team, which was almost the same as the previous competition. Although Saeko Busushima did not play against them in the last competition, she had also observed them After their match, to put it in an arrogant word, she could fight five with one person back then, no, with the three backup players added, she can fight eight with one.And this year, there are at least two people in the team who have her strength a year ago. How can this ship turn over if she is added?How did this boat capsize?

It can be said that as long as this team does not take banned drugs, otherwise they will not be able to make any waves in front of the private Shenjian school, so Busujima Saeko is very relieved to put two substitutes on it. She led the two strongest candidates to reverse the situation for them, so Busujima Saeko arranged such a lineup.

In Dongying, kendo is also known as the "small art of war", and the strategic layout is a very important part. This is reflected in the very famous "Battle of Yanliu Island" between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.

As for the story of "Battle of Yanliu Island", there are many versions, and no one can produce evidence to prove that the version he heard is history and fact, but this version is generally the most widely circulated.

Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro agreed to a duel on Iwaliu Island (known as Kokura Island at the time), and the date and place were fixed, but Miyamoto Musashi deliberately did not specify the exact time, making Sasaki Kojiro wait for an entire afternoon until the sun was approaching. He only appeared at the duel place when the mountain was falling, and Miyamoto Musashi, who was waiting for work, defeated Sasaki Kojiro when Sasaki Kojiro was impetuous, and thus became a famous swordsman in Dongying from an unknown boy, leaving a mark in the history of Dongying. He made a strong stroke, and until now he is a great swordsman talked about by the people of Japan.

Although Miyamoto Musashi's shameless behavior seems shameless to Yan Kai, it seems to be the proficient use of military art in the eyes of Dongying people, which is highly respected by Dongying people. The order of the players of each team in the competition is not fixed and can be changed at the beginning of each game.

Guessing the order of the opponent's race, arranging players who restrain the opponent to enter the field, or adopting the "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy, using the "lower horse" in the team to exchange the opponent's "higher horse" is a test for both sides. Psychology, vision and strategy can also be regarded as the highlights of the Kuixing Banner Competition.

Although this kind of gimmick is useless to the real strong, just like Beiwang High School, the five main candidates are all swordsman-level sword masters, crushing the rest of the team in all directions, which makes the rest of the team useless Trick?What tricks are they still using?

But this is also a side note, the real way to win a hundred battles is not about marching and deploying formations, nor is it some tricks and tricks, but "strong soldiers and strong horses" to overwhelm people with force!

Yan Kai sat bored in the front row of the auditorium, with Kasumigaoka Shiyu sitting on his left, and Tiyayou holding Eve on his right. They hugged one big and one small, and they all envied Yan Kai...ah, no, their teeth itch with hatred, and desperately cursed Yan Kai for his kidney deficiency.

Mimen Ryoko was not in the auditorium. As an accompanying doctor, she was on standby in the medical room at this time, so that her team's players could go up for first aid when they were injured. Kitayama Xingyi, as the team leader, was of course sitting on the player's seat Watching a movie at the closest distance, but judging by her appearance, she seems as boring as Yan Kai.
