Kazuma issued a command to let Mikako and Honami return to their original positions.
Kazuma also reminded Mikako: "Just succeed once, don't get carried away."
"I know!"
Looking at Mikako's expression, Kazuma confirmed that she was not complacent, so he praised: "Well done, really good. Even I was scared."
Mikako started laughing, but immediately remembered Kazuma's reminder of "don't get carried away", and quickly flattened the corners of her mouth to suppress her laughter.
On Honami's side, it can be seen that she is already fully motivated, and she is completely ready to compete with a strong enemy.
Specifically, the petrel entry above her head was burning like a raging fire.
The string above her head just now seemed to be the ID string of a micro-krypton player.
Now, at first glance, you can see that there is no shortage of money.
Kazuma is a little worried that Mikako will be injured.
But now Mikako's protective gear is well worn on her body, as long as Honami follows the principle of going to the end, the injury is only a minor injury of bruise.
Even the kendo is a little bruised, which is commonplace.
Waving gently with the horse: "Start!"
Honami launched an attack again, the attack route was the same as before, but the speed was much faster.
It seems that Honami is not convinced either.
She didn't believe that Mikako could still defend herself.
When Honami's bamboo sword swung down, Kazuma even heard the sound of cutting the air.
Between the lightning and the flint, two crisp sounds sounded almost simultaneously.
Honami's bamboo knife hit Mikako's mask, and Mikako's bamboo knife hit Honami's gauntlet.
Mikako didn't take the follow-up action of poking the carcass, but turned to look at Kazuma: "Who won?"
Hema looked at Gongji first, and found that Jingongji was just looking at him, and the expression on his face seemed to say: "I leave it to you to decide."
"In the second round, Honami won." Kazuma said.
Mikako let out a long sigh, and her shoulders slumped directly: "I knew it. I didn't feel like 'successful' at all just now."
"Don't be discouraged, the difference is not much." Kazuma reassured Mikako, "If you continue to practice, you may be able to match my cutting technique."
"Wait a minute!" Senior Huacheng interrupted, "Can you see the sword just now?"
He Ma: "I can see clearly."
Senior Huacheng frowned, stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, and chose to trust Kazuma, then he turned his head and asked Jinguji Yuzao, who was the deputy referee, "Can you see clearly too?"
Jinguji Yuzao shook his head: "No, I can't see clearly at all. This is beyond my ability."
Senior Huacheng breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Senior Sister Gao Jianze said abruptly: "Our Kendo Department of Dongda University has always been looked down upon by the Kendo Department of Japan Sports University and Donghai University. After all, whether it is the University League or the Yulong Banner, we have lost. This year, it seems that At least the Jade Dragon Banner can be pierced by one person, we can win."
Hema couldn't help turning his head to look at Senior Sister Gao Jianze, always feeling that she suddenly said these words, he was a senior in the city of yin and yang.
To be reasonable, a person like Honami, who has been taught by a famous teacher before becoming Kazuma's apprentice, is not weak in the first place, and then has the entry bonus formed by personal experience, as well as actual combat experience.
It's normal for her to be stronger than Senior Huacheng.
But from the perspective of outsiders who don't know the situation, it is the vice-minister of the University of Tokyo's Kendo Department, Senior Huacheng, who can't even see a girl's swordplay clearly.
It's normal to be annoyed by the club manager.
However, considering that Senior Huacheng is Senior Sister Gao Jianze's licking dog, and Senior Sister obviously knows about it, then this yin and yang strangeness is a bit subtle.
Hema thought about it seriously for more than ten seconds, and finally decided not to ask other people's affairs.
The relationship between the two of them is not in the hands of him, a kendo teacher, not to mention it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so he can hide from such troublesome things as far as he can.
This is also in line with the general practice of Japanese society.
He Ma: "Nippon Sports University and East China Sea are full of strong players, and there will be many folk masters participating in the Yulong Banner. I want to take the Yulong Banner, and I need to practice more."
"But I think Kiryu-kun and the minister have a 100% winning rate." Senior sister Gao Jianze looked at Kazuma and said, "I have always wondered why Kiryu-kun never practiced, but when he came to the gymnasium of the Kendo club, all kinds of Looking for someone to fight?"
— To gain experience!
Toda-senpai, there are 18 grades! It's a baby with great experience!
But the truth cannot be told, so He Ma had to make up an excuse: "My style has been perfected, so now I am more inclined to use moves flexibly. Fighting different people will help improve my ability in this area."
Senior Sister Gao Jianze asked suspiciously: "But except for the days when Mr. Hiranaka Mito came to give advice, you spend most of your time fighting against Senior Toda."
He Ma Xin thinks that you are right, because brushing his experience points is the fastest.
"After all, Toda-senpai is the strongest player in the company besides me. Of course, I have practiced with him more times than other people. Is there any problem?" Kazuma asked, "I also fight with Senior Huacheng from time to time. ah."
Talking with Ma, he glanced at Senior Huacheng, and found that he was sullen and silent.
At this time, Mikako urged: "Hema! Honami and I are waiting!"
"Okay, okay, let's issue the order." After confirming with the horse that both of them are ready, they raised their hands.
"start!"
This time, Honami did not choose to attack directly. It seems that after confirming that she can break through Mikako's defense with a positive attack just now, she plans to find other ways to win.
Honami started to move sideways.
Mikako also moved in the opposite direction, and the two began to slowly circle around the midpoint of the line between them.
This is also a common scene in kendo duels.
The party with poor basic skills may make some small mistakes in the process of moving, and will be caught immediately.
Of course, competitive kendo does not involve life and death, so the confrontation process is greatly shortened, and most people just do some psychological construction and take a deep breath before they start.
It was the same this time, Honami suddenly took a step forward and raised the knife.
Mikako also reacted immediately, but Honami was making a fake move and didn't rush up at all.
And Mikako has already moved.
She figured out how to counterattack quickly after parrying.
Originally, when the hand did not have the feeling of the bamboo knife colliding when blocking, most people would not counterattack.
But Mikako was too focused on the routine she had thought up, and before she could react, the counterattacking bamboo sword hit Honami's helmet.
Honami turned sideways, then swung the knife horizontally, and hit Mikako's armor with a slap.
This time, even Gao Jianze understood, it was a very beautiful blow.
"Beautiful!" Gao Jianze clapped his hands.
Kazuma: "Honami is beautiful, very beautiful sideways."
Honami retreated and sighed: "In the end, I subconsciously used the competitive kendo style of fighting. In actual combat, it was the Seven Injuries Fist. Mikako was disembowelled, and I threw one shoulder."
"Why did I have to be disembowelled!" Mikako yelled, "Except for horses, the rest of us will never have the chance to fight with real swords in our lifetime, right?"
Honami: "There's no harm in being prepared."
"Even if you say that, I don't have a knife! Even a modern forged stainless steel knife is very expensive!"
There is a lot of attention to Japanese knives. Even modern knives produced on an assembly line must have a little "craftsman spirit", and if "craftsman spirit" is involved, things will be meaninglessly expensive.
He Ma: "If you want to practice with a real knife, I can lend you the real one."
"Hey, can I?"
"Of course, Masamune will be happy." Kazuma glanced at Bizen Osafune who was in front of the swimsuit poster of Tsuna Honoko, "Remember to hold it to your chest after you practice, and warm it through the scabbard. good."
Mikako patted her chest: "Hold here? What's the point? Huh? Huh?"
Mikako suddenly smirked: "Hey, Kazuma~ Your purpose is impure!"
Honami: "Are you still here?"
"Come! Of course! I just didn't stop the car just now! I feel like I can already see the dawn of victory!"
Mikako said energetically.
He Ma looked at her, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
With this desire to become stronger, Mikako will definitely become stronger.
However, according to what Hema Congping and others have heard, Mikako can only reach level 30 without going through some experience to get entries.
The desire to become stronger may not be able to cross this gap.
When everyone in the dojo breaks through the 30th level in the future, this desire to become stronger will instead bring pressure and anxiety to Mikako.
At that time, I can only rely on He Ma, the morning star, to enlighten her. Maybe I have to copy a song "The Road to Ordinary" and give it to her, telling her that ordinary is the only answer.
Watching Mikako challenge Honami again, Kazuma decides to cheer for her honestly.
Things in the future will be considered later.
Level 30 is still early.
While thinking like this with Ma, Honami hit Mikako's gauntlet with a slight difference, using the technique of cutting off - of course, the proficiency is far less than that of Kazuma and Mikako.
"Ah! I was defeated by my own stunt!" Mikako yelled, "No, do it again! I don't believe it!"
Hema saw that the two returned to their starting positions, and gave the password with a smile.
In this way, Mikako and Honami fought for another fifteen rounds, and as a result, Mikako won three more victories.
"Not bad, great progress!" He Ma clapped his hands, and Lian claimed to praise Jia Zi, "Honami is also very good, and now you are an opponent that I can't underestimate. Today is almost the same, pack up and go to school."
As soon as Kazuma finished speaking, Senior Huacheng, who had become a dull gourd from the very beginning, said, "Wait a minute! I want to have a competition with Mikako Fujii, and follow the rules of general competitive swordsmanship."
Mikako looked at Senior Huacheng, and said, "Senior, you still need to warm up and wear protective gear. There is no time, right? Or are you like me, senior, and you have no class in the first period?"
Senior Huacheng: "I didn't even have class for the second period today."
"Really, that's good! Please give me your advice."
While taking off the protective gear, Honami said, "I won't accompany you. I have class in the first period. He Ma, let me take a shower in the bathroom. I sweat a lot, and it may smell."
"As you please." He gestured with the horse.
Honami walked towards the dressing room.
Senior sister Gao Jianze also walked to the locker room together to get the protective gear and Dao uniform for Senior Huacheng.
Jinguji Yuzao: "Wait a minute! Non-dojo students need to pay rent for protective gear and Taoist uniforms!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at her together, even Honami stopped and looked back.
Jinguji Yuzao didn't change his face: "If you don't pay the rent, Chiyoko will be angry."
"I'll just give it!" Senior Huacheng said.
…
Just like that, Honami Nanjo changed her clothes and took a shower, and at the same time as she went out to go to class, Senior Huacheng changed her equipment and stood in front of Mikako Fujii.
"Li." He Ma was still in the referee's seat.
The two saluted and put on a posture.
Hema: "Start!"
Senior Huacheng rushed directly to Mikako.
Hema knew at a glance that this was to let the bamboo sword enter the cross-section state, and then use his weight to knock Mikako sideways, thereby creating opportunities.
This move is often used by the big guys to bully the smaller guys in competitive kendo, and it was used in the confrontation with Chiyoko when he crossed over with Ma Gang.
Anyway, in competitive kendo, the referee will separate the two if the cross-cut state lasts for a long time. After the referee gives the order to separate and the two return to the starting position, any attack during this period will be invalid.
And it is basically impossible to achieve effective breakthrough in the state of crossing.
So there is basically no risk in this collision. In case the opponent's base is unstable and there is a flaw, you can win the money.
If the opponent does not stand up hard and chooses to retreat, there is a very real problem. When people retreat, they are generally not as stable as walking forward.
In kendo, it is said that "advance and retreat freely", this freedom is reflected in "retreat", it depends on the basic skills.
In short, senior Huacheng adopted the common tactics of competitive swordsmanship, and Zhu rushed forward.
Mikako yelled, "Oh!"
The first leather of the bamboo knife directly poked Senior Huacheng's mask.
He Ma: "Why do you also use incense to get the spirit?"
"Why, Honami can use it, but I can't use it?" Mikako finally became smug, as if she wanted to let go of the anger that Honami just crushed, "And this move is not difficult, isn't it just to let go of the hand in front of her?" , use the hand behind to send the bamboo knife forward, so easy!"
"You still speak English?"
"I'm from the English Department of Sophia University! Why, can't you drag things from your major?"
"You can pull, you can pull." He Ma said, turning his gaze to Senior Huacheng, "Senior, do you want to continue?"
"Continue." Senior Huacheng returned to the starting position.
He Ma suddenly discovered that a temporary entry appeared on Senior Huacheng's head!
However, looking at the color and special effects of this entry, He Ma feels like a negative entry, and looking at the content, it is indeed a negative entry.
haze
Yes, this entry is called Haze, and it takes up to 36,000 seconds, which is a bit long.
The explanation is full of the flavor of Hema's system as always: God's mentality has undergone some changes.
It seems that just now Senior Huacheng was more powerful but used a more sloppy tactic, but failed in the end, which had a great impact on his mentality.
He Ma wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of causing a bigger mentality change to Senior Huacheng. After all, he was the referee, so he had to be neutral.
With a straight face, he said seriously: "Start!"
This time, as soon as he gave the order to the horse, Senior Huacheng put the bamboo knife in front of his face and blocked it in front of the mask.
This is also a common shameless posture in competitive kendo.
He Ma Xin thought, Senior Huacheng, you wouldn't be able to...
Mikako was also stunned when she saw this stance. After all, in competitive kendo, how to fight this stance has always been a difficult problem. After decades of discussion, the final conclusion is that there is nothing good except relying on hard power. Solution.
Because of this, it is very incomprehensible for the strong to beat the weak.
And I've even seen Yulong Banner winners playing amateurs in this posture in my life.
He and Ma Xiao are interested to see how Mikako responds.
Then Mikako—
She did the same thing!
And Ma wanted to laugh.
As expected of you.
The scene at this time is very stiff, because it is not easy to attack in this posture, and it fights back fiercely.
If both sides are placed like this, no one will attack.
He Ma watched the two staring at each other, and suddenly had an idea: If Sekiro had turned on the PVP mode, it would probably look like this.
No one dared to attack, afraid of being perfectly blocked and then counterattacked, so they could only stare at each other face to face, frantically pressing the block button.
The two stared blankly for a full minute, and He Ma said, "Well, why don't you do it all over again. Stop posing like this."
Senior Huacheng: "Agreed."
Mikako: "Yes."
The next moment, senior Huacheng switched to the upper stance, and Mikako took the middle stance.
Senior Huacheng suddenly yelled: "Drink!"
But he didn't attack, he just took a step forward and stopped immediately.
Mikako didn't move at all, it seemed that she had learned the lesson of being tricked by Honami just now.
Senior Huacheng took a step back to get out of Mikako's attack range.
In fact, if Mikako makes a move just now, as long as she is fast enough, she can get the money.
If it is a fight with Malays, it has already paid off.
However, Mikako obviously didn't want to bet on her speed.
Senior Huacheng shouted again, this time he really made a move.
Mikako deftly dodged to the side.
Senior Huacheng immediately received a horizontal slash, but Mikako shrank her head to avoid the horizontal slash, bent down and stabbed a bamboo knife at Senior Huacheng's trunk.
He Ma applauded: "Good fight. I made full use of my flexible advantages. Senior Huacheng's horizontal slashing and changing moves are also very fast, but it's a pity that it's a little higher."
And Ma remembered that Beichen Yidao Liu had a special move against horizontal cuts, and he shrank his head to avoid it, and then stabbed forward. However, Beichen Yidao Liu used one hand to stab with one hand, and the other hand was free to resist the opposite horizontal cut's elbow. , not to let the other side take back his hand.
Beichen used a lot of this kind of moves to grab the opponent's hands and even the collar. Anyway, how dirty it is.
Senior Huacheng looked like he couldn't let go.
"Again!" he said.
He Ma: "Senior, the rules of competitive kendo that you have discussed. According to the rules of competitive kendo, you have been taken twice, and you have already lost."
Mikako: "Yes!"
Senior Huacheng sighed: "How could this be? I have put in so much hard work these years! Is this the gap caused by the unity of mind and skill that Mr. Ping Zhongshi said?"
No, no, He Ma thought, you are wrong, now I am the only one who knows how to integrate mind and skill in this dojo, and Honami has also touched the edge, and Amao should be able to do it in the future, but Mikako doesn't even have an entry.
Mikako: "That's right, I have practiced with Master Kiryu for more than a year, and I have already comprehended a little bit of the essentials of the integration of Dim, Mind, and Skill!"
You understand a ghost!
He Ma: "Don't listen to her nonsense. You lost today, senior, because your mind is broken."
"Mentality? Sure enough, it's a combination of mind and skill..."
"No, no, it's just mentality. Senpai, after you were caught by Mikako's surprise attack in the first round, your mentality exploded."
In Japanese, there is no such thing as a mentality bombing, so what I said to Ma was "BOOM", and I used English, which is simple and straightforward.
Senior Huacheng looked at the bamboo knife in his hand thoughtfully.
Hema saw that the duration of the temporary entry on his head was directly reduced by a zero.
— So I can still be a confidant big brother? This effect is immediate!
Hema was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue the pursuit, and then pulled Huacheng senior, the senior said: "Maybe what you said makes sense. Leave me alone."
After speaking, he walked to the locker room, taking off his protective gear as he walked.
He Ma intends to call the senior to stop, but sees Senior Gao Jianze gesturing to herself: "I'll do it."
Then the senior sister came forward with a towel and handed it to Senior Huacheng: "I just said that, just to provoke you. Sorry, I didn't take your mood into consideration."
Kazuma opened his mouth halfway and glanced at Mikako.
Mikako suddenly winked, and then shouted: "Oh, I sweat a lot too."
"Here." Jinguji Tamamo handed over the towel and water bottle.
Mikako: "Uh...thank you."
He Ma smiled, glanced at the clock on the wall, and said with a smile: "Let's go too."
