Chapter 536 No Time to Mourn
30 million yen
This is the cost of a trip to Koshien for a school that is only two hours away from Osaka. If it is a little further away, it will rise to 50 million or more. The amount is so high that one wonders whether the team supervisor is lining his own pockets, but in fact, this fee is only the cost of the preliminary round, which means that he is prepared to pack up his things and go home after one game.
After that, every time you win a game, accommodation and food expenses will be recalculated.
If you want to ask why so much money is needed, just look into the stands during the game and you will know. The passion of Koshien is not just a word of mouth, it will really affect the hearts of people in the entire region. In addition to the team members, the support group will also pack up and go to Koshien. In addition to the support group, the entire school will also pack up and go to Koshien. The school is responsible for paying transportation fees, admission fees, clothing fees, etc. for these people. In addition, folks from their hometowns will also go to Koshien to refuel at their own expense. As long as there are regions that call Koshien, the tickets to Osaka from many regions will be sold out immediately.
Although Sobu High School, which Hojo Kyosuke belongs to, has never entered Koshien, if you look at the fees of other schools, you will know that it will not be less than 30 million yen. For example, his alma mater, Tojo High School, last year's Koshien played a total of three rounds before being eliminated, spending more than 60 million.
This amount of money is not a small amount for him, and he has to grin when he takes it out, but it is not his turn to give it. If that time comes, the school directors, such as the Yukinoshita family, will surely be happy to donate generously, just like they currently allocate funds for the kendo club.
"But that was all after I entered Koshien. Now I have to find some sponsorship, otherwise it would be too unfair for my eldest brother to practice in such an environment. When I go to practice games with other schools, I can't sit still. Going by train?”
Kisaki Tetsuta said that although he is not from the baseball club, his identity is not just the manager of the kendo club, and serving his elder brother is his first priority.
"Let's talk about it later. Minister Tsuchiya still has to decide on this kind of thing."
Hojo Kyosuke picked up the bamboo sword and waved it twice in the air. A swishing sound sounded, and the sound of breaking the wind was very sharp.
As expected of a big brother, even if he is messing around every day, his slashing attacks are still so powerful and pleasing to the eye.
"Yes, then I will take time to discuss it with Tugu, and at least buy a batch of new training equipment first, as well as the competition bus."
Kisaki said while applauding his elder brother's slash.
"You don't need to train today. Go back and rest for a while before going to work." Hojo Kyosuke ordered.
"I'm not tired at all, I don't need to..."
"Am I so embarrassed that I need to let my subordinates drag their tired bodies to run for me?"
Hojo Kyousuke interrupted Kisaki's refusal, smiled and patted his shoulder:
"Don't do everything by yourself, find more helpers. I know that those who retired from the Rampage Angels are not of use yet. Don't limit yourself to the organization. You can also recruit employees directly from the society. The company's funds should be enough. Right? It’s like I’m some kind of unscrupulous boss who squeezes the hard work of my employees.”
"The funds are sufficient..."
Hearing her elder brother's caring words, Qisaki was so moved that she lowered her head and said softly:
"I also recruit talents to expand the team, but I don't trust my brother's affairs to be left to others. I have to see it with my own eyes before I can rest assured."
His voice was very determined. If you are tired or sleepy, there is nothing to worry about. Just drink a few more cups of coffee and get more caffeine!
"Go back and sleep for at least three hours before working."
Hojo Kyosuke casually slapped Kisaki on the head:
"This is an order!"
"yes!"
Kisaki stood at attention, then turned around to change clothes without saying anything.
Bang bang——
Hojo Kyosuke knocked on the ground twice with his bamboo knife, and then shouted:
"Okay, line up in order and come here to be beaten."
His powerful shouts easily drowned out the shouts of other people in the dojo. This was also one of the secrets of his victory in kendo competitions. As long as he let go of his restraints and shouted, timid opponents would be beaten. He was stunned for three seconds, which was enough time for him to slash the opponent five, six, seven or eight times. If he yelled during a bunt, his opponent's brain would be so shaken that he would become deaf for a long time.
After hearing the words of the Buchou-sama, the members of the Kendo Club who were practicing also stopped. They tacitly ignored the minister's somewhat inappropriate words and formed a neat circle.
This kind of demonstration and instructional sparring must be watched by all members. Even if you just sit on the ground and stare, it is not at all easier than constantly swinging the sword. Because Hojo Kyosuke doesn't just beat up the members, he also constantly explains the shortcomings of the members' sword-swinging steps during the sparring. During the explanation, he would randomly ask questions from members of the team who were sitting around and watching, asking them how they would respond to such a situation. Just like now.
Now, in the center of the crowd, everyone is watching!
Possessing unparalleled intelligence, he scored 9 points in the 100-point math test, and sprinted towards the goal of a private university that does not require math scores. When he was weak, he bravely used his immature body to perform heroic acts. Although he is still weak now But he never gave up and was determined to develop a tactic that would allow him to dodge 100% and then win with one blow - Hikigaya Hachiman!
Being weak in mathematics does not mean that he lacks scientific thinking. First of all, since he can score nine points instead of zero points, it means that he has the ability to score double digits, but he does not want to or is unwilling to do so. Because compared to mathematics, which has absolute answers and is ruthless, he prefers liberal arts that are full of human touch and have more room for thinking.
For him, who is good at observing others and has even integrated "observation" into his instincts, observing first and planning later was the strategy set from the very beginning. For example, when he was in junior high school, his nose was broken and he was hospitalized. If he hadn't filled his wallet with money early as a backup hidden energy source, he would have been beaten even worse (the gangster who was worshiped was satisfied gone).
In fact, this was not his only backup plan. Before rushing into the alley to become a hero, he also used the innocent cuteness that he had hidden since birth and asked the aunt who sold fruit on the street to help him. Come in and take a look for yourself in three minutes. Although he is now evaluated by his sister Komachi as "a pair of dead fish eyes that smell like mulberry and rotten. Not only are they incompatible with cuteness, but they also make people want to beat them. Brother, you'd better not show up at nine o'clock at night." If you go out after clicking, you will be taken to the police station for questioning. Komachi doesn’t want to pick you up at that time, or you will be mistaken for a bad girl~"
As a brother and sister, it is a bit too much to say such things, and it does not suit Komachi's cuteness at all, so of course there is a twist later: "But this way Komachi doesn't have to worry about Onii-chan being snatched away by others every day, and Onii-chan can be Komachi." Onii-chan for life, this is a plus here in Komachi~~"
Stupid sister, in order to pretend to be cute, she even ignored basic logic. She said it as if I was no longer her Onii-chan after being snatched away by others. We are blood relatives. Although one is an older brother who smells of rot, and the other is an invincibly young and lovely younger sister, but... No, wait, first of all, it is impossible for me to be snatched away, so I am not a bonus for this. Is it 100% possible to get it?
All in all, this is the price of being cute - your brain will become difficult to use. Therefore, Hikigaya Hachiman, who is born much smarter than ordinary people, has hidden his innocence and innocence that is comparable to Hikari Genji since he was born. He does not bother to pretend to be cute and cute like other children to please adults. Happy.
When other children are held by relatives and friends, they will only receive compliments such as "Wow, he's so cute" and "His skin is so good and his eyes are so big." But he is different. It is said that when he was the second child of Hikigaya Hachiman When he opened his eyes, all the nurses in the hospital exclaimed, "Wow, why does this child have dead fish eyes?" "Why is he so rotten before he starts working overtime?"
Quietly, how different, how otherworldly!
As we all know, those who can achieve great things must be born extraordinary, so Hikigaya Hachiman is destined to be no ordinary person. Although the things about the hospital were all made up by Hikigaya's father to ridicule his son's dead fish eyes, is it possible that someone really gave birth to a great child that will be remembered by history because of a dream in which the old monk pointed to his belly and said, "This girl is destined to be extraordinary" Female (Atsuki)? Going to a temple to beg for a child is just fine, it’s a sin...
Hikigaya Hachiman's hidden cuteness should never be discovered, but inspired by Mr. Hojo's work "One Punch Man", his dream of becoming a hero was inspired when he was young. He wanted to use the cuteness that had been hidden for more than ten years to create a second insurance for himself. The fruit seller was bewildered by his unparalleled cuteness and agreed to his request without asking anything.
But until his first and third lines of defense took effect (telling his sister where he was going, and notifying his parents before the time came to report that he was safe), he didn't wait for Aunt Fruit. Lying in the hospital bed, he thought hard for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. He is so smart. In addition to being as cute as Genji, he also has an ability called "Gap". Once his cuteness is hidden, even his master can't be found.
This is really... another amazing talent discovered. It is absolutely impossible for his wife to find out if he hides his private money after getting married! The only thing you have to worry about is that you won't be able to find it, but don't worry, you can send Hikigaya Komachi when you need money. Ever since he was little, whether it was the snacks he hid or the pocket money he saved to buy games, he had never escaped Komachi's clutches. I think I can ask Komachi to help me find the private money after marriage, even though I will be severely punished.
If the elder brother is the god in charge of hiding things, then the younger sister is the god in charge of plundering!
Wait, isn't my cuteness that is nowhere to be found not hidden but snatched away by my sister? Is that why Komachi is so cute? Hikigaya fell into deep thought again and ended 0.1 seconds later. Of course, the cuter the sister is, the better!
All in all, Hikigaya Hachiman is a wise general who integrates observation into instinct and pursues planning before acting. Even when facing the invincible Minister Hojo, he can calm down and observe carefully to find flaws. Although there is no hope of victory, at least there is no chance of victory. Lost...
"Hachiman! How long are you going to wait, you boy!? It's almost time for morning reading!"
A loud shout startled Hachiman Hikigaya. He realized that he had been deeply intimidated by Minister Hojo's flawless figure while observing. He had unknowingly retreated to the edge of the circle, and his butt even touched the nose of the person behind him. The familiar touch made him sure that the other party was Zaimokuza. Qi Kexiu, why not Ayaka!
Although he wanted to continue observing to maintain his undefeated record, he noticed the unfriendly eyes of his companions around him and knew that these guys couldn't wait to be beaten. If he didn't take the initiative to attack, he was afraid that after Minister Hojo beat him, these guys would use the excuse of absorbing essence from him to beat him. So he moved forward carefully, rolled his eyes twice, took a step, raised his bamboo sword slightly, and chopped at Hojo Kyosuke with a roar.
The sound of the soles of his feet hitting the wooden floor and the roar of Hachiman Hikigaya sounded particularly loud in the empty dojo when everyone else was watching quietly.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them met, one foot and one sword apart. Excluding the situation where the two people have a huge difference in size, when your opponent reaches your attack distance, it means that you are also within the opponent's attack range.
Hojo Kyosuke, standing in the center of the circle, did not move a step, but raised his bamboo sword at the last moment.
Bang——
Hikigaya's bamboo sword was accurately blocked, and before he could adjust Zanshin, he was pushed back by a huge force.
"Mian!!"
A loud roar sounded in Hikigaya's ears. This time, let alone Zanshin, even his heart was scared to stop, and then his head was hit hard.
But it was Hojo Kyosuke who got the points and ended the round.
"Too slow, observation is not that way, standing still and observing is not suitable for your type, concentrating on observation will consume a lot of energy, and your physical strength is too poor, so try to choose to observe when you are attacking.
Also, where is your Zanshin? Why did you just stand there in a daze after being blocked by me? Whether you retreat or slide to the side, you can avoid being hit directly in the face by me. Even if you hit me by chance, you will not be able to score because your Zanshin is not in place!"
As Hojo Kyosuke spoke, he took a step forward and signaled Hikigaya to raise his bamboo sword. The two exchanged roles, and he demonstrated how to respond after the attack was blocked. He slid his right foot backwards, and the bamboo sword was not put down, still blocking in front of him tightly. If Hikigaya still wanted to attack him at this time, he would definitely be able to respond effectively. Then he demonstrated how to escape from the right front step, and the bamboo sword was still against Hikigaya's bamboo sword, until the two bodies exchanged and staggered, and then he turned his wrist and body and put on the middle section again.
