July.
Last class at the end of term.
After Mr. Tachibana handed over the report card to Tamamo Jinguji for distribution, he said directly to Kiryu and Ma: "Kiryu-kun, you are lucky. Mr. Nakajo, who teaches Chinese, said that you wrote a good essay this time. I can't help but give you two more points.
"You can pass with just these two points."
He Ma didn't get the report card yet, so he burst out laughing when he heard this.
Teacher Tachibana had a straight face.
He Ma looked at it, and became serious again: "Teacher, don't scare me, is my history dead?"
Teacher Tachibana was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled: "No, on the contrary, you did well in the history test this time. Kiryu, do you know European history from the 11th century to the 13th century?"
"Uh, it's so-so." He Ma laughed almost from ear to ear, "I just know the history from the Battle of Stamford Bridge to the end of the Middle Ages. Because during this period, European sword skills developed greatly. time."
The last sentence is nonsense with Ma.
But Teacher Tachibana was obviously not interested in the truth of this statement, but responded with a smile: "Yes, interest is the best teacher. Anyway, congratulations, Kiryu, you don't need to make up lessons during the holidays.
"You can embrace youth to your heart's content."
As soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind blew from the window and lifted the curtains of the classroom.
At this time, Yoichi Yamada suddenly said: "Smell it quickly, this wind brings the smell of summer, it is the smell of youth and parting!"
And the lazy Li Yamada Yoichi, he felt more and more that this guy was a clown.
No, no, that's insulting the clown.
Looking at the flying curtains, Kazuma suddenly remembered the classic scene in Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter" that he liked very much:
In the empty library, the fluttering white curtains reveal the handsome face of the young man who is reading behind the curtains.
Yes, it is a boy, and it is a boy from the perspective of a girl.
Because the movie "Love Letter" was so beautifully shot, Hema was so impressed that when he mentioned the keywords of library and reading room in the afternoon for a long time later, he thought of beautiful boys.
Fortunately, in the end, he and Ma grew up to be normal men.
Sure enough, a beautiful girl is more suitable for my appetite - Kazuma, who was in college, finally got rid of the influence of movies, sighed so much.
Now, looking at such a familiar and beautiful scene, Kazuma recalled that famous work by Shunji Iwai...
Wait a minute, Shunji Iwai is still playing with mud at the moment, I have a chance to plagiarize his masterpiece.
But after thinking about it with Ma, the leading actress Zhongshan Miho should be only ten years old at this time, right
While He Ma was thinking wildly, the chairman came over with his report card and patted it on his desk: "Not bad, keep up the good work."
He Ma looked up and found that the Chairman smiled.
"I will trouble you in the future." Said Hema.
"Um."
Teacher Tachibana coughed on the podium: "Okay! The last activities of this semester have also been completed. I wish you a fulfilling summer vacation. There will only be one summer when you are seventeen. Try not to let yourself regret it. Get out of class!"
After speaking, the teacher didn't wait for the chairman to shout the password, just picked up the things on the table and left.
Chairman: "Starting tomorrow, we will start intensive special training. If you are not good at Chinese, you will not be able to pass the entrance examination to Dongda University."
Before the words were finished, Mikako rushed into the classroom: "Hema! Let's go to the beach! I'm going to buy a new swimsuit today!"
Nanjo directly took her transcript from Mikako and glanced at it: "You also need special English training, and this grade should not be able to enter the English Department of Zhida University."
Mikako: "Eh? Uh, here, going to the beach for two days won't affect anything, right?"
"Playing will make you feel relaxed. We have already been to the festival before." At this time, Nanjo felt very similar to the chairman's tone. "Or, Mikako thinks it's okay if she is not an English department?"
"this… "
Chairman: "I think Kiryu's house is quite big, and we can organize an intensive dorm for exam preparation or something."
Mikako immediately changed her face: "Hey, yes, let's strengthen the camp!"
He Ma frowned, always feeling that this strengthened camp might kill someone.
After all, the chairman is so strict, he will definitely conduct special training for the devil.
"Uh, let's forget about strengthening the dorm. I will start kendo practice tomorrow. After all, the national conference will be coming soon. I think it would be good for everyone to go to the library for self-study after the kendo practice is over."
The chairman tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, that's fine. After all, I don't want to kill people."
He Ma murmured in his heart, grass, do you really want to kill someone
"Then see you at school tomorrow." He Ma stood up and wanted to run, but was caught by the chairman.
"Where do you want to go? The test paper was just issued, and the reflection meeting hasn't been held yet."
—Here it comes, the devil training that will kill people is coming!
The chairman took out a thick set of exercises and smashed it on the table: "For the wrong question, you have to do a hundred questions of the same type. If you don't finish it, you are not allowed to go home today."
and the horse wailed.
**
In this way, in the first half of July, Kazuma spent the hellish learning reinforcement interlaced with the heavenly kendo practice.
Jinguji Yuzao is really the legendary "ghost marriage", which means that the kind of virtuous wife who will train her husband to be a man like a ghost.
In fact, He Ma quite doesn't understand, this kind of good wife can fight for a street when she goes out to be a heroine, why does she have to train her husband to go out and fight
Is it really because of the constraints of the times that women can only be in charge
So why not destroy this era
Just say that brother Liu's speech is too rational, and then start singing, who said that women are not as good as men.
So, Yamato Nadeko, no, Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, yes.
In short, half a month was spent in such a fulfilling way, and He Ma felt that his level of Chinese language and harmonica playing had greatly improved.
Only the level of kendo is stuck a little before the ninth level, and it just can't go up.
Since Kazuma's level has been raised to level eight, no experience will be added to playing Nanjo, and the experience bar will not change at all.
He Ma also wanted to go to Ping Zhongshi's dojo to brush up his experience again, but he called to ask about it, and the dojo said that Master should have something to do in July and would not show up at the dojo.
And to practice against the master, you have to make an appointment in advance.
Hema can only give up.
He Ma is looking forward to the national conference more and more. According to Ping Zhongshi, there should be many guys outside the specification at the national conference, who can gain experience.
As the weather is getting hotter, the day when the National Kendo Conference is finally approaching.
This year's All Japan High School Kendo Competition for the Kuixing Banner will be held at the Prefectural Budokan in Akita City.
Yes, it is called the National Convention, which gives people a feeling that the competition will definitely be held in Tokyo, but the competition venue is in Akita City, Akita Prefecture. This is also common knowledge that only kendo enthusiasts know.
On the day before the start of the conference, the representative team of Kita Katsura University had to travel by car to Akita Prefecture in the northeastern part of Japan.
A few years ago, when the Kitagushi family played in the National Conference, the consultant Damon Goro drove the people to Akita City in his own RV. Because the car only had so many people, he could only go to the five main elections to take care of the logistics. community manager.
And this year, the Kendo Department of Kita Geshi High School was sponsored by the Nanjo Foundation, and they could rent a bus to go there, so this is the first time in many years that the Kita Geshi High School Kendo Department has all members dispatched to participate in the national conference.
On the day of departure, Daimon Goro asked all the staff to gather at the school at 8:00 in the morning.
