Chapter 171 Sword Art and Skills
Tokyo in July is either a yellow plum rain or a daytime with high humidity and high temperature. The sun is so bright that the air is distorted into a heat wave.
Kaoru Uesugi, who was already sitting in the rest area and was only wearing short sleeves, felt uncomfortable seeing them. Isn't it really not hot with such a thick protective gear?
"Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"
Hanamaru Yuzuki, who kept slapping her ear, has already shouted out his inner cry for Uesugi Kai.
His sunglasses and coat were thrown aside, leaving only a white T-shirt and a crystal necklace exposed.
"Mr. Hanamaru, do you feel the heat?" Higashiyama Chitsu asked with a probe on his sweaty face, smoothing the hair beside his ear.
Hanamaru Yuzuki pointed to her forehead and her hair-covered forehead, and asked in confusion, "Isn't it hot?"
"I think it's okay." Higashiyama Qianjin nodded, and then said: "Mr. Hanamaru, if you need it, you can open it now."
Hanamaru Yuzuki clasped his hands together, and quickly made a gesture of begging her: "Then please!"
"Haha, Mr. Hanamaru doesn't need to do that."
Higashiyama Qianjin waved his hands again and again, showing respect to him for some reason, and secretly glanced at him when he went to the lounge to get the remote control board.
Of course Hanamaru Yuzuki noticed this detail, his keen insight is very similar to Hanamaru Yuki.
The reason for this, he can only attribute to his own charm is very attractive to little girls.
After all, I have encountered it before.
"Ohara Toda."
"Kono Cheng."
"Ru Morioka."
"Bai Chuan Haruki."
"Fujiwara Takumi."
"Get out." Kumazawa Onijiro shouted, his voice was thick and powerful as standard for a strong man.
"Yes." The five people walked out of the queue, and the unique hot-blooded temperament of the youth of the Kendo Department was revealed.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, Uesugi Kai only thinks they are very hot.
Even with the air conditioner on.
Shio Uesugi also picked out the five most powerful people from the crowd in Shenyue, that is, the second-year students who were introduced to Kai Uesugi last time.
Goto Iwakatsu is located among them.
Their kendo exchange competition was not very interesting, so Uesugi Kai didn't care much about the result of this competition.
Start chatting with uncle.
"What has Uncle You Yue been doing lately?"
Because it depends on everyone's foundation, Hanamaru Yuzuki is paying attention to their movements.
"Xiao Kai, what do you think Uncle Yueyou will be doing?" He turned his head and smiled meaningfully, "Are you interested in going to Kabukicho?"
Kabukicho is the largest red-light district in Asia, and four-fifths of it used to be custom shops.
"That kind of place is not good."
Hanamaru Yuzuki, who took off his glasses, was young and handsome like a younger brother: "Hey, don't say that, Kabukicho now has a lot less red, green and green, and now it's all serious restaurants."
"Then what am I going to do?"
"Oh?" Hanamaru Yuzuki smiled: "It means there is, so you go?"
"No." Uesugi Kai said, "I'm a minor."
"I always use myself as a minor to shirk."
Hanamaru Yuzuki rubbed her chin, looked up and down Uesugi Kai: "But uncle, I always feel that you are that kind of person, you are hiding something."
"I'm a good judge of people," he added.
"It must be your illusion, uncle." Said Uesugi Kai.
Hanamaru Yuzuki smiled without saying a word, and then said: "That's right, if I want you to go to that place, I won't believe that my second brother doesn't bother you."
"Didn't Uncle You Yue say that there are all serious restaurants?"
"Some of them are indeed, but who can tell whether they are serious or not? The people who can open a store there are more or less related to the Pokémon.
"Who would be bothered by making more money?
"Anyway, if you want to go there to play, just ask me to have a drink and sing karaoke. Don't bring my little niece with you."
"Will there be danger?"
"Maybe there will be."
The topic ends here.
The communication competition between Shenyue and Zaogao's five people is also over.
The score was 0:5.
It's just a million points away from a complete victory.
The Zaogao Kendo Department did not intend to humiliate everyone at all, it was just very ordinary, showing its own strength.
However, the difference in strength is too great, and only Goto barely beat his opponent with a second copy.
Kaoru Uesugi didn't expect this guy to work so hard, and he pulled him into the Kendo club just to help him keep fit.
Hanamaru Yuzuki looked at this slightly awkward atmosphere, and said to Uesugi Shio seriously:
"Well, everyone's foundation is not very solid, the footwork and swing are very immature, and the opponent confessed his flaws with a seme (probing).
"Is it a newly recruited member?"
"Yes." Shio Uesugi shook his head helplessly, "Everyone just joined last week."
Kumazawa Onijiro with arms crossed: "Last week, after practicing kendo, I was able to reach the level of actual combat, which is very good."
Kumazawa Onijiro didn't finish his sentence, they were indeed learning very fast, and they were able to fight several rounds with their members in just a week or so.
But the joint sports festival at Shenyue's home court is imminent, and there is not enough time for them to work hard.
The kendo clubs of the other schools are not weak.
He heard that Shenyue wanted to expand his influence in competitive events.
But in any case, it would be too hasty for the newly rebuilt Kendo club to compete with the Kendo clubs of other schools.
For Shingoshi, not participating in this kendo competition is the best choice.
Being defeated as a host would only make it more embarrassing.
Kumazawa Onijiro subconsciously glanced at Shio Uesugi, the head of the Shingoshi Kendo Department who looked lazy.
"Girl, don't you go up and try?" Hanamaru Yuzuki said to Uesugi Shio.
The effect of the air conditioner was very powerful, and he put his casual coat back on after sitting still.
The reason why Uesugi Shio brought everyone here is to let everyone in the Kendo Department realize their own strength.
The competition is imminent, how can we do without any actual combat experience with our opponents.
She doesn't really feel like exercising herself.
"I want to go up?" Shio Uesugi pointed to herself, but she didn't even bring that pure white kendo uniform today.
"Learning to communicate, everyone has to go up and try." Hanamaru Yuzuki said, "As a consultant, I am also optimistic about your strength."
"No protective gear." Shio Uesugi tried to evade.
"We have spares in the equipment room." Higashiyama Qianjin said with a smile, her voice was that of a sweet girl.
"Ah." Uesugi Shio glanced at him, meaning you do it for me.
Kaoru Uesugi definitely refused, but Hanamaru Yuzuki answered for him first:
"Xiao Zhao, as a general, will also go up later, let's have a ministerial competition first."
Higashiyama Qianjin looked at Uesugi Xi, and bowed to her as an opponent.
"Oh, let's do it, let's go." Uesugi sighed helplessly, "How about writing a book and ending it?"
"no problem."
Higashiyama Qianjin's shallow smile makes it difficult for people to connect that she is a powerful swordsman girl.
The appearance is obviously a girl who loves sports.
She is the head of the kendo department of Waseda High School, and she is a fifth-dan non-genre.
The fifth stage is very powerful, and some people are still stuck in the fifth stage in their seventies and eighties.
Genre swordsmanship and modern swordsmanship are actually two things. The former is more inclined to actual combat, while the latter has evolved into a sports event.
Compared with defeating the opponent, kendo focuses more on breaking through the opponent's defense and hitting the opponent's scoring part through constant testing to win.
Of course, knowing the genre of swordsmanship will also have a great advantage in experience when participating in kendo competitions, and there are many more changes and characteristics.
The simple, clean and powerful swordsmanship like Shi Xianliu is its representative feature in the arena.
Kendo competition is a psychological game, judging/predicting which part of the opponent is attacking according to the opponent's starting posture and attacking movement.
Therefore, in kendo competitions, you can often see both sides holding bamboo knives dangling on the opponent's sword tip.
This is very irritating to outsiders who don't understand kendo: "Are you guys going to fight or not?".
But this is just a game of chess between people, and every swing of the knife tip is a temptation.
For example, in the middle holding posture, actions such as picking, stabbing, chopping, etc. may appear in the next move.
Every trial is to find the opponent's weakness that is about to be revealed, and the choice of splitting or stabbing is determined by the opponent's weakness.
As long as you catch that moment, it's time to score with sure chances.
Dongshan Qianjin is well aware of this.
The movement of the tip of the knife reflects the opponent's psychological desire and technical characteristics.
But Shio Uesugi's bamboo knife was almost motionless.
Higashiyama Qianjin struck Uesugi Shio's bamboo knife with the string of the bamboo knife several times to test, but she didn't intend to defend herself, her eyes were as lazy as ever.
Movement is not good at judging movement, and eyes are not good at judging movement.
Dongshan Qianjin has never faced such an opponent.
"Oh~ Your cousin is very good." Hanamaru Yuzuki said to Uesugi Kai.
"Uncle Youyue saw it?"
"I'm pretty good at seeing people." He repeated what he said just now, "Your cousin looks very ordinary, but she's full of details."
Everyone in the Shenyue Kendo Department didn't understand what was so powerful about it at all, didn't they just stand still?
Hanamaru Yuzuki: "Just watch, the outcome has been decided."
Higashiyama Qianjin, who started in the middle, attacked first, with his feet lightly touching the ground and sliding forward, swinging his hands down the bamboo handle leather.
Going down with the sword.
With the sound of fighting, the blow was blocked as a matter of course.
The battle between ministers is clearly not going to end that easily.
Previously, Shio Uesugi had already been on guard when she raised the knife, and her body slid to the left in advance.
The two bamboo knives clashed, and the blocking blades formed an inclined plane.
Shio Uesugi held his left hand firmly with his right hand and held it empty with his right hand. While pushing down the handle of the knife with the two fingers of his right hand and pushing the knife, he moved his body sideways to exert force.
Her reaction was particularly quick, and she instantly counterattacked the bamboo knife that Dongshan Qianjin had attacked.
The footsteps under pressure are recovered at the same time to seize the center line.
With a sound of "Pa!", the two bamboo knives clashed together again, and the bamboo slices vibrated and made an empty sound.
The offensive conflict disappeared, and the two returned to the confrontation stage.
Several actions, the first round of confrontation, was completed in just two seconds.
This is completely a blink of an eye, and the sound of the clashing sounds immediately, and the head can't keep up with the information received by the ears and eyes.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand it without strength.
In order to take care of everyone in the Shingoshi Kendo Club, Hanamaru Yuzuki explained:
"This is called parrying and counterattacking. Higashiyama is attacking from the front. According to the position of her attack, Uesugi moves to the left. While parrying the incoming bamboo sword, she uses the technique of pressing the knife on an inclined plane to counterpress the opponent, preparing to counterattack the opponent directly. little hands.
"And Dongshan student expected that she would counter-press to prevent herself from being hit by her little hand, so she deliberately pulled the swinging bamboo knife backwards, and increased her strength to collide with the opponent's bamboo knife that was about to counter-press.
"The impact with increased force will definitely produce time for the arms to digest the shock, which will make the two sides have a gap at the same time, and return to the tentative situation of the confrontation at the beginning."
"."
Great job, totally incomprehensible.
"Ahem." Hanamaru Yuzuki continued coughing twice seeing that everyone was in a daze, "Let's summarize the main points of parrying and counterattacking.
"Advance while retreating, advance reaction, smart wrist, and coherent counterattack.
"Pay special attention to the importance of footsteps in counterattacking. If you don't occupy a position that is beneficial to you during the counterattack, you will still be pressed. Such a counterattack is completely useless."
Everyone evolved from a state of confusion to vague understanding.
Xiong Zeguijiro couldn't help showing a strong man's smile: "Kendo still needs to be fought to understand the meaning of the theory.
"However, Mr. Hanamaru can unpack and explain so many movements in just two seconds. The referee who has been serving as a referee for many years probably doesn't have your vision."
Hanamaru Yuzuki shook his head, but did not speak.
While they were talking, Higashiyama Qianjin and Uesugi Shio fought against each other several times, and every time they seemed to be on point, they were evenly matched.
Unlike Shenyue's pure rookie, Zao Gao's few capable swordsmen have already seen some clues.
The minister of his own family seems to be unable to beat the opponent.
The opponent has been defending.
in the next second,
Uesugi seized the gap between Higashiyama Chitsu's offense and defense, stepped forward to seize the center line in an instant, pressed down with both hands, and each twisted inward.
All hands thrust.
"sudden."
The bamboo knife was brought up to the throat, and the huge twisting force hit the protective gear of the mask, and Higashiyama Qianjin staggered back several steps.
A lazy voice sounded, Uesugi Shio quickly retracted the bamboo knife, maintaining the remnant state.
Now no matter how layman it is, it can be seen that the head of Zaogao's Kendo Department has been copied.
Goto was the first to react, stretching out his hands and applauding in one go.
The members of the Shingoshi Kendo Club applauded after a slow beat, and the applause gradually slowed down after a few seconds, and there was no sound.
The minister actually lost?
This was the innermost thought of most members of the Zao Gao Kendo Club. The head of the beautiful girl who usually had a sweet voice and strong strength lost to the head of the school next door.
Vigorous and sunny, the beautiful girl minister who swayed sweat and smile asked them to practice Suzhen (empty swing knife) actually lost! !
It's a pity that it wasn't in the national competition, otherwise everyone would cry and cry.
After the end, Shio Uesugi and Chitsu Higashiyama saluted each other.
"It makes sense." Kumazawa Onijiro shook his head helplessly.
"Before, I have done it with one eye and two feet. There is no reason not to win."
Hanamaru Yuzuki popped out two more terms from the kendo world. He turned around and looked at the members of the Shingoshi Kendo Club, "Actually, there are still many details to talk about. Would you like to listen and learn?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Uncle Yuzuki is very reliable." Kai Uesugi said.
"That's right." Hanamaru Yuzuki patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I know your cousin's strength, and then it's your turn as a general."
"I have a stomach ache."
"Period?"
"Yeah." Uesugi Kai said seriously.
Everyone looked at him with black lines all over his head.
Hanamaru Yuzuki patted him on the back: "I didn't have it last month. It's just the beginning of the month. What kind of menstrual period is here. Come on me, brat, don't delay."
Kai Uesugi was forcibly called to the locker room to change public protective gear.
"Where's your general?"
Kumazawa Onijiro glanced around at the people in the Kendo Club, and said, "It seems that they haven't come yet."
"Isn't it just because you're not here today?"
"No, he said he would come today."
"What's his name?"
Having said that, Kumazawa Onijiro gave him a strange look:
"Hanamaru Nobuki."
