Chapter 19 Although Weak, But There Are Things I Want To Protect
"No way, you really agreed?!"
In the classroom, Tetsuya Takahashi looked shocked. He opened his eyes wide and spread his hands: "You are right, that Ninomiya Night?!"
Futaba Cheng sat in his seat at this time: "Well, it's that Ninomiya."
Tetsuya Takahashi reached out and patted Futaba Makoto on the shoulder, looking at him with pity.
"Go in peace, I will collect the body for you."
Ninomiya is a celebrity in the school. In front of her, even the bad students in the third grade don't dare to act recklessly, because the bamboo sword is no joke.
"I remember that Ninomiya-san killed 11 people in the Yulong Banner Company before, and his strength was quite terrifying." Takahashi Megumi pushed up her glasses.
"Is it powerful to kill 11 people in a row?" Morning Nana, standing behind Futaba Makoto, looked curious.
"Of course, you have to be selected in the county to participate in the Yulong Banner. And if you kill 11 people in the Jade Dragon Banner without defeat, your physical strength is quite scary." After Takahashi Tetsuya finished speaking, he sighed again.
"I say Cheng, it would be better for you to refuse directly rather than accept the challenge. At least you won't be afraid of embarrassment."
Futaba Cheng looked at the comic book in his hand quietly at this time, and then said after a while:
"I refused, but not completely."
"Eh?"
"Some things can be avoided, and some things cannot be avoided."
After Futaba Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at Takahashi Tetsuya and suddenly showed a relieved smile:
"Partner, remember to help me collect the body."
"Cheng..." Tetsuya Takahashi looked sad. He covered his face and cried, "You can go in peace. I will delete those review materials for you."
"Please."
Takahashi Megumi and Hayama Nana looked at the two drama queens with expressionless expressions.
"When will the duel take place?"
"afternoon."
The kendo duel between Ninomiya and Futaba Makoto has spread throughout the school. Needless to say, Ninomiya's popularity, and Futaba Makoto is known to more or less people in the grade. After all, this guy doesn't usually like to listen to lectures.
, but when it came time to take the exam, my scores barely dropped below the top three.
Therefore, many students are looking forward to the duel between the two.
At four o'clock sharp, Futaba Makoto arrived at the Kendo Club, and Nana and others naturally followed him in the morning.
The Kendo Club was full of people at this time, some were members of the Kendo Club, and some were students who came to join in the fun.
Ninomiya had already put on her kendo uniform and was sitting on the floor. When she saw Futaba Makoto appear, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "I thought you wouldn't come again."
Futaba Makoto smiled.
"Is that the person Ninomiya-senpai is going to challenge?"
"No way. He looks so thin, and he doesn't look like he has practiced swordsmanship at all."
At this time, the members of the Kendo Club were also looking at Futaba Makoto curiously. They wanted to know what kind of person the person challenged by their chief was.
However, when they saw Futaba Makoto put on the sword hakama skillfully, they retracted their doubtful expressions, because it was impossible for a novice to wear it so skillfully.
"As expected, you have practiced swordsmanship." Ninomiya said calmly.
"I've practiced a little, but I can't persist due to physical reasons." Futaba Makoto said, walking up to Ninomiya Ya.
After hearing Futaba Makoto say this, Ninomiya smiled: "Because of physical reasons, can I understand that you are making excuses for the failure of the duel later?"
"Whatever you think." After Futaba Cheng finished speaking, he took out his weapon.
Ninomiya's eyes focused on the weapons he was holding - two bamboo swords, one long and one short.
"That's it. No wonder your moves were so strange before. It turns out to be a double-sword style, and it's also a reverse two-sword style."
The so-called Ni Er Dao means holding a long sword in the left hand and a short sword in the right hand.
Different from the double swords in games and anime movies that need to be symmetrical, the double swords in reality are one long and one short, and the methods of use are also very different.
Futaba Cheng didn't speak, just stared at the other person silently.
"No way, has Cheng ever practiced kendo before, and also the double-sword style?" Tetsuya Takahashi and others who were watching from a distance showed surprised expressions.
"Speaking of which, Acheng's grandfather often practices swordplay in the yard. How can he be the best in the world?" Nana said in the morning.
"Sounds awesome."
"It seems to be a school founded by the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, but it is estimated that there is no true Niten First Class that has been passed down to this day." Takahashi Megumi said,
"The threshold for dual-sword style is extremely high, and it pays great attention to the coordination of both hands."
"But Cheng's health was very poor when he was a child, and he even vomited blood during sword practice."
"No, it can't be."
…
At this time, Futaba Makoto and Ninomiya Ya standing in the middle of the field were ready to start a duel.
【Speed Mixture: 250】
【Speed Mixture:
Increase your physical fitness by 5 points in a short period of time and optimize the speed. After the potion ends, there is a certain chance that your physical fitness will be reduced by -5 within ten minutes. Use of physical fitness lower than or equal to 5 is prohibited]
Futaba Cheng looked at the window on the side.
In a kendo duel, speed is crucial, and the speed mixture can undoubtedly help him fight against Ninomiya Ya and even defeat the opponent.
But Futaba Makoto did not redeem it.
It's not because there are not enough points, but because there is a more important reason.
Futaba Cheng held the two swords in his hands, and a familiar feeling slowly came to his heart——
[Remember Cheng, the swordsmanship we learn is not to punish evil and promote good, nor is it for you to challenge powerful enemies and become a hero. If you really encounter an enemy stronger than you, you can even avoid fighting.
Or just run away.]
[However, if the other party chooses to swing the sharp blade at your family or friends, then your short knife will pierce the other party's heart no matter what!]
[This is the meaning of our learning to be first-rate.]
Grandpa's voice was clearly imprinted in Futaba Cheng's mind.
"That old man just likes to say these things to himself."
Futaba Makoto slowly put on his helmet.
The two stood at the designated position and saluted.
"start!"
Ninomiya took one step forward, and the bamboo sword struck down at an extremely fast speed!
So fast!
"Pah." After Futaba Makoto blocked the opponent's attack with a short sword, he stabbed Ninomiya directly with the other sword in his left hand!
"Card!"
There was a clear sound of hitting, and both of them stood still. Futaba Makoto turned around and put down the arm holding the bamboo sword.
The whole process only takes one second.
The student in charge of the referee raised the red flag.
"Did you get the prize?!"
The classmates next to me all showed surprised expressions as to what had just happened.
"It was too fast. I didn't see how Qingcheng got the job." Takahashi Tetsuya said.
It turns out that this guy is hiding his secrets.
"Well done." Ninomiya said. There didn't seem to be any emotional fluctuations in his tone, but he repositioned himself.
Futaba Cheng moved his numb right hand slightly and raised his swords.
"start!"
Ninomiya didn't rush to attack, she held up her bamboo sword and walked slowly around Futaba Makoto.
Futaba Makoto, on the other hand, was concentrating and looking for the opponent's flaws.
Chapter completed!
