Chapter 687: Please take the throne, Lord Kaizu!
The youngest eighth-dan swordsman in Japan, winner of three consecutive national competitions, and the holder of the strongest title in the Japanese kendo world—
Ninety-nine True Red, join the battlefield!
After putting on protective gear and walking into the circle formed by the crowd, this ordinary math teacher looked at Hojo Kyosuke opposite him with extremely complicated feelings.
"I never expected that last year, Hojo-kun was not old enough to compete with my student, but this year he is going to draw his sword against me, his teacher."
The tone of these words was calm and contained a hint of regret, causing Onitsuka Eikichi and other people who beat up Kyushu Academy every year to burst into laughter. Guan Yuandao shouted loudly:
"Last year, our general manager was already the instructor of the Kendo Club. If the Kendo League had added a rule that teachers must also participate in the competition, then you, Sensei Jiujiu, would have gotten your wish a long time ago."
Students beat up teachers? This funny thing made others laugh, but some people were really tempted and thought it was a good idea. After all, there are many schools that cannot recruit outstanding students but have very strong teachers. Teachers are naturally unwilling to lose the game, so why not let the teachers fight themselves to prove themselves?
In addition to the team and individual competitions, will a new instructor competition be added?
"Wouldn't it be possible to add a parent competition? I was also very annoyed when my good-for-nothing kid lost the competition!"
Ichiro Nagase said with a smile, which instantly caused the others to burst into laughter.
Someone jokingly said, "Why not add a company competition? If the company the parents belong to knew that their subordinates lost, wouldn't they be angry?"
"That's right, that's what we call a team competition!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
For a moment, the atmosphere was very cheerful. There was really no tension between the two people who were about to compete on the field.
Jiujiu Shinku has a gentle personality. After winning three consecutive national championships, he stopped participating in competitions. Although his strength has improved, he does not get in the way of others. He is a down-to-earth and decent person. He helped Daidouji out of trouble before. It is obvious that he is not here to cause trouble, but is sincerely trying to learn from each other.
As for Hojo Kyosuke, he has already fully proved his strength, making everyone present understand that he is invincible. Now everyone else is eager to establish a good relationship with him so that he can strike them with a blow later. Why would they make things difficult for him?
What's more, the two of them were serious acquaintances. There was no tense atmosphere at all. They even chatted for a while while standing face to face.
Hojo Kyosuke also smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Yes, I thought I had to wait until August and defeat the seniors of Kyushu Academy to get the chance to fight with Kyujuku Sensei."
"Sending your troops to die first is something you only see in games. As a math teacher, I have to first check out the difficulty of this exam for my lovely students so that I can tell them how to deal with it."
"response?"
"Yes, for example, should we eliminate the strongest ones so that he can learn excellent things from Hojo-kun, or should we simply send the weaker students to exchange sons."
Yes, in the national junior high school level competition, one person is allowed to defeat five people at once, but in the national high school kendo competition, players are only allowed to compete once. The order of players' competition becomes the key to winning, and the best and the worst horses must be accurately determined in advance. Even if it is a strong kendo school, if the intelligence work is not in place, it may lose to the weak.
Hojo Kyosuke waved his hand and said casually: "It doesn't matter. If my subordinates still need to rely on me to win at this point, it would be the greatest humiliation for me."
After saying this, he looked at Hata Goro and the others and said loudly: "Am I right, gentlemen?"
"That's right! There's no need for the commander-in-chief to take action. We will beat the opponent to pieces!"
"If this race goes to a fourth game, I'll never ride a motorcycle again!"
"Cut them down!"
Hata Goro, Kuroda Kaito, Mihashi Ryoma and others all shouted loudly that they were the physical commanders of the new generation of Rampage Angels.
"You are so spirited. You have been an invincible army since junior high school. I can't wait to see where you can go."
Ninety-nine Shinkuru sighed.
"Let's talk about the past later. If we delay any longer we won't be able to make it in time for supper. Let's get started, shall we?"
Hojo Kyosuke waved the bamboo sword in his hand as an invitation. He already knew that behind Ninety-nine Shinku, there were countless people waiting to be chopped down.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I can't help but talk too much when I see such an outstanding young man like Hojo-kun. This is my occupational disease."
Jiujiu laughed a few times, stopped talking, and stood in his seat, waiting for the referee's instructions.
Chiba Fifth Generation looked at the strongest swordsman of the current Neon Kendo on his right, then looked at the reincarnation of the founder on his left, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Sixteen years old, only sixteen years old!
The sixteen-year-old Hojo Kyosuke can fight against the strongest swordsman in Japan, but he is far from reaching his peak and still has a long period of development.
Chiba Seinosuke could not imagine how high the Hokushin Ittoryu would reach in the hands of his opponent. According to conservative estimates, Hojo-kun would rule Japan for half a century.
"present!"
The referee shouted, and the two swordsmen saluted with their knees slightly bent.
Everyone in the dojo held their breath, as if they were afraid that the sound of their breathing would become an important factor affecting the situation. Although no one said it, everyone knew that this duel represented the highest level of Neon Kendo!
"This should be the duel to determine the strongest person in Neon, right?"
The still nameless colleague Jun whispered that he had never expected that the confrontation between an ordinary high school teacher and an ordinary first-year high school student would turn out like this.
"Well, without a doubt. Open your eyes and watch carefully. This may be the most exciting game you will ever see in your life."
Nakahashi whispered. What he said was not an exaggeration, because although the two people in the field were at the top of Neon Swordsmanship, it was very difficult to see the battle between them. Hojo Kyousuke was too young. He had to wait for several years before he could participate in the national competition. By that time, the state of Ninety-nine True Red would inevitably decline, so...
This will be the ultimate battle!
When masters fight, the outcome is decided in silence; this is the so-called “silent victory”!
In the previous few battles, Kyujuku Shinkuro saw clearly that Hojo Kyosuke won not when the referee raised his hand, nor when his bamboo sword fell on his opponent, but at the moment the game started!
Yes, victory was already decided when the game started.
What Hojo Kyosuke did was to choose a tributary that interested him from the countless tributaries of the rivers, let his opponent step in, and lead him to an inevitable end of failure.
The young are really to be feared, so scary.
But even after seeing this despairing fact, he did not have any fear or retreat in his heart. He was Ninety-nine True Red, the strongest swordsman at this moment!
His perseverance, his awareness, and his desire for victory are not inferior to anyone else!
If there is no chance of winning, then create one on your own. Use the knife in your hand to cut a gap in the perfect defense!
“Ah—ha!!”
With a loud shout, Ninety-nine True Red rushed out fiercely, his steps without any hesitation, which made his sword extremely sharp. If it were an ordinary person, just seeing this kind of power, let alone fighting back, he would probably be frightened and lose all fighting spirit in an instant and admit defeat immediately, even if he knew that the opponent's sword was not a real sword and he was wearing thick protective gear.
This is the spiritual power of a strong man. His eyes can not only convey the murderous intent of "killing you within a second", but also see all the flaws of your opponent at a glance!
Hojo Kyosuke's face showed no emotion, only his pair of dark eyes were so bright that they seemed to be glowing.
The scanning eye and the super brain were faithfully functioning. Everything about Ninety-nine True Red was visible to him. He knew that the opponent was currently using the Eight Phase Structure of the Straight Heart Shadow Style. He knew that the seemingly unstoppable attack could actually turn into defense in an instant. He knew that the opponent wanted to use the attack to force him to reveal a flaw. He knew...
He knew it all, but...
"Snapped--!"
There was a loud bang, and two tall figures crossed each other in an instant. The attacker, Ninety-nine True Red, screamed and ran forward two more steps, then turned around with a swaying footsteps, still facing Hojo Kyosuke in the middle. This is Zanshin. Regardless of whether the attack is successful or not, it must be maintained, because although the Neon Kendo Competition is a competition, it strives to be based on real combat. After attacking, you must confirm that you still have the ability to attack again, because even if the opponent dies, there will be other enemies.
It was obvious that this strike could not determine the winner, and the sound of the bamboo swords colliding revealed everything.
The swordsmen watching the fight only had time to let out a cry of surprise before quickly shutting their mouths. The confrontation in that instant made them all so excited that their faces turned red.
So strong, they are worthy of being the two strongest people in Neon Kendo!
Whether it was attacking or defending, or the aftermath, it was all like art. The art of killing and violence!
Very strong!
Hojo Kyosuke felt the faint vibration coming from the bamboo sword and was surprised.
He just wanted to use the same trick again and get the base directly after cutting it down.
But the cut was successful. He easily deflected the attack of Ninety-Nine Sinker, but before he could swing his sword to cut his hand, the opponent had already accelerated and rushed over. With his speed, he could actually turn around and strike back with a "reverse wind" at the moment of the intersection, splitting Ninety-Nine Sinker in half from behind, but this was not a real fight, he had to hit the right position.
The force was huge, even greater than that of Daidoji. Although Hojo Kyosuke didn't use his full strength, it was not easy to keep his balance under his cut. However, not only was Kujuku Shinkuran not knocked off his sword, he changed direction instantly.
His responsiveness and agility are also very high, much stronger than Ichiro Nagase and Masaru Miyazaki, so he can make such an excellent response in an instant.
He truly deserves to be the youngest eighth-level swordsman in Japan.
Hojo Kyosuke felt deeply moved, thinking that this mathematics teacher who represented the strongest in Neon Kendo was indeed worthy of his reputation. No wonder Brother Maki and his friends could not beat Kyushu Academy before he appeared. With such a teacher teaching them, it would be impossible for Onizuka and his friends to beat them.
So strong...
He sighed, feeling a little regretful.
Sadly, is this all that is possible?
Hojo Kyosuke raised his bamboo sword and touched the ground with the front of his left foot.
Is it coming!?
Jiujiu Zhenhong shouted in his heart that reading information from the opponent is not exclusive to Hojo Kyosuke. For a powerful swordsman like him, anticipating the enemy in advance is also a basic operation.
At this moment, seeing the changes in Hojo Kyosuke's left foot, Jiujiu's nerves instantly tensed up, knowing that Hojo Kyosuke was going to attack. And this was what he wanted to see. After a simple sword fight, his body was rapidly adapting to the strength and speed that Hojo Kyosuke had just shown, so...
I can block this knife!
come on!
Shouting in his heart, Ninety-nine True Red changed the way he held the sword, from the middle structure to the Diamond Structure, defending with all his heart and soul, and then counterattacking!
"boom--!!!"
A loud noise far exceeding any previous one exploded!
What's the noise!?
The people who were always keeping an eye on Hojo Kyosuke and wished they could stick their eyes on him almost got their eyes popped out of their heads in fright.
The floor is broken!
The muscles in Hojo Kyosuke's calves tensed instantly, and he stepped down with force.
"boom--!!!"
The nearly four-centimeter-thick cypress floor was instantly broken by the huge force, and correspondingly, Hojo Kyosuke received an explosive thrust.
lightning!
This is real extreme speed!
Before Kyuujiu Shinhong could even figure out what the explosion-like sound was coming from, he saw Hojo Kyosuke already rushing in front of him. The Diamond Structure, which was said to be as strong as Mount Kongo, was completely useless, and the bamboo sword held in front of him was easily broken through.
Unable to defend!
In just a moment, Neon's strongest swordsman made a judgment.
Speed is power!
Extreme speed brings unparalleled violence, and anyone who tries to resist will be crushed.
Therefore, we can only attack to defend!
In a flash, Jiujiu Zhenhong made a decision. According to the rules of the kendo competition, even if the opponent chopped off his head, as long as he chopped off the opponent's hand at the same time, it would be a draw!
The decision made in the mind was reflected in the body. Kyujuku Shinkuran's hand holding the sword moved instantly. He tilted his head back and deflected the bamboo sword to chop at Hojo Kyosuke's hands.
but!
He saw it, saw the handsome face beneath Hojo Kyosuke's mask, and saw the scornful smile at the corner of the other's mouth.
"noodle!!"
"Snapped--!!!"
Two loud noises sounded almost simultaneously, and there were only two of them!
It was the loud roar from Hojo Kyosuke's mouth, and the loud sound of Hojo Kyosuke's bamboo sword hitting the Kujuku's red mask.
When the two figures passed each other, Hojo Kyosuke recovered to the middle section and completed Zanshin, then Ninety-nine Shinsaku's sword was cut down reluctantly, and he cut the air instead of Hojo Kyosuke's hand.
Looking at the back of Kujuku Shinku, Hojo Kyousuke curled the corners of his mouth.
You want to hit lightning?
