Chapter 261: Once in a Sixty Year
By this time, more than two hundred female participating teams had been eliminated to only eight teams. During this period, Tachibana High School was forced by powerful opponents many times to the point where it had to field generals.
Some of these opponents are descendants of demon slayer families, as well as girls who are simply talented and strong in swordsmanship.
After all, it is just a competition of swordsmanship. Although the descendants of the demon slayers are unique, ordinary people with good talent can compete with them on the field.
It seems that these demon slayers are all about martial arts. Sometimes they accidentally lose to female players with superb swordsmanship and just bow down, without using extraordinary means to win.
However, Dong Yeyu would occasionally maliciously guess that they were afraid of making any small moves just because they were in full public view, for fear of being discovered.
Cheating with spells in such a competition cannot be seen by mortals, but if a demon slayer sees it, the family's reputation will be ruined in the world of demon slayers.
Of course, the best results of these players who forced Tachibana High School to the point where they had to send Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami off the field did not stop there. Without exception, they were all defeated by Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's sword.
Tachibana High School, whose life hangs on a thread, seems to be narrowly escaping into the top eight.
Although she had some ups and downs in winning the competition, she was not expected to be the champion of the Jade Dragon Banner Women's Competition.
But personal heroism makes people excited at all times, and Tachibana High School itself is very topical, attracting the attention of a lot of media.
As an ace player who has repeatedly turned the tide, General Jinguji Hiiragi's background was soon discovered.
She comes from the former Chinese Jinguji family. She is the only daughter of the current head of the family, Jinguji Nobuaki, and has excellent academic ability.
Even in Tachibana High School, where there are many school monsters, she can still be ranked among the top three, and she is appointed as the beautiful swordsman who met Koshi.
And because she always has no expression, but is very polite whether in competitions or interviews, and her words and deeds have the temperament of the legendary noble daughter of a noble family, so she got the title of Flower of the Moon.
The island country has a few "once in a thousand years" and "once in a hundred years" events every year. This once-in-a-century event is quite conservative.
Higashino Yu guessed that it was probably because Jinguji Hiiragi mirror was a Kanto swordsman.
Discrimination and competition between regions in the island country are quite fierce, which is not to say that China is united - all provinces in China are also geographically hostile to each other.
A unique term for manhole covers in the Central Plains, 'I am not stealing drops, it is I who pick them up', mocking Sichuan and Sichuan for the rich production of male ketone Guinan, Northeast eating table corner, Suzhou and Hangzhou shepherd dogs, Jingye tunneling, Guangdong Ni Geduo, etc., almost Every province has its regions blacklisted.
However, the island nation is no longer just a quarrel. It is so outrageous that the power supply standards in Kansai and Kanto are different - Guanzhong is its own faction, and no one wants to take advantage of it.
Although Fukuoka is neither Kansai nor Kanto, it is geographically closer to Kansai.
Therefore, I will not be sarcastic or sarcastic about Jinguji Hiiragi, a female swordsman from Kanto, but I will definitely discount the praise.
When checking information, some media took a look at the male contestants of Tachibana High School and found that Yu Higashino, one of the study monsters in the first grade of high school, also participated in the Yulong Banner, so they wrote a sentence in the report - the first year of Tachibana High School Two of the top three students in the grade participated in this Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition.
Higashi Yeyu's name also appeared in the newspaper for the first time, although only in the corner.
Moreover, Higashino Yu has no historical record and no record of participating in kendo competitions when he was in junior high school. Even if most people saw this, they didn't pay much attention to it and just thought it was just to make up for the numbers.
After all, it’s enough to have just one person who is good at studying, athletic, and strong. You can’t have all the talents in Tachibana High School, right?
Time goes back to before the game. Jinguji Hiiragi and the female players put on plain kendo uniforms and went to the preparation area of Tachibana High School to prepare for the game. The substitutes and the kendo club manager and other members of the sex team helped the players wear kendo clothes for the competition. Kendo armor.
The opponent is a very strong kendo team, so whether it is the deputy general Hitomi Ogata, the pioneer Matsuzaka Mika, or the other two players, they are all very nervous.
Many people frequently looked at Jinguji Hiiragi - after all, Tachibana High School's ability to advance to the top eight was all thanks to this general.
But she didn't seem to be under any pressure. She picked up the bamboo sword provided by the competition and looked at Higashino Yu: "Can you practice with me?"
Higashino Yu originally just came over to have a look and get familiar with each other. Tomorrow, he saw Sanae leading Kaori and Shiori to the viewing area in advance. When he heard that Jinguji Hiiragi asked him to practice with her, he naturally wouldn't refuse and headed towards Mika Matsuban smiled: "Matsuban-san, can I borrow your bamboo sword?"
Mika Matsuba did not expect that one day she would be in close contact with this legendary handsome boy who was a freshman in high school.
Hearing his request to borrow a bamboo sword from her, she didn't react at all. She was stunned for a second, and then hurriedly handed over her bamboo sword rather awkwardly: "Yes, yes!"
She nodded and bowed, as if the person borrowing things was not Higashino Yu but Mika Matsuba.
Then she suddenly thought - if Higashino-san uses his sword, he must return it later, right?
Isn't that equivalent to holding hands indirectly? !
Thinking of this, the girl's eyes widened, her face turned crimson, her legs felt weak, and she sat on the wooden floor in a daze.
Higashino Yu didn't think so much. After receiving the bamboo sword, he weighed it. In order to prevent fraud, the organizer of the Jade Dragon Flag competition provided both kendo protective gear and bamboo swords.
Although some players may not be accustomed to unfamiliar bamboo swords, which may lead to abnormal performance, it can ensure the fairness of the game to the greatest extent.
After feeling familiar with the bamboo sword, Dong Yeyu briefly waved it, and the sound of the bamboo sword breaking through the wind suddenly sounded. The sword body drew a beautiful arc. Finally, as if time stopped, the bamboo sword instantly stopped at an angle that was still unfinished, which was pleasing to the eye.
It is the basic practice move of Yan Hui, one of the secrets of Tianlan Ittou style - Yan Hui sounds cool, but in fact it is a simple extremely fast sword. It strives for simplicity and pursues the ultimate speed that can cut down flying swallows in the sky with one sword.
The advanced move is the leaping slash, which is a killer move that advances without retreating. After all, you cannot adjust your posture in the sky, so it is a decisive move.
The female students of Tachibana High School present all knew that Higashino Yu was very powerful. Although they felt that he swung the sword very quickly and neatly, they were mostly just looking at the handsome guy.
On the other side of the rostrum, Yasuhiro Mikado, a famous kendo master who was chatting with friends and waiting for the competition to start, took a surprised look.
What is that?
The strike that was like a flash of lightning appeared in the corner of his eye and seemed to hit his heart. He focused on his strength and looked over, but it was the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family who was competing with a boy in swordsmanship.
The two were in the confrontation stage, as if the slash just now was an illusion like a mirror and a moon in the water.
Illusion?
He was thinking in his mind and wanted to observe, but he heard his friend ask: "I heard that your Zhenhui also participated in the competition? In the past, the Jade Dragon Flag was rounded up by your Zhenji, but this time it will not be given to your family again." Got it?"
Yasuhiro Mikado came back to his senses. He wanted to laugh and say nothing, but the hallucinatory sword at the edge of his vision still lingered in his mind. He thought about it and waved his hand: "There are so many talented young swordsmen in the world. Easy to say, hard to say.”
Just as Higashino Yu was practicing sword practice with Jinguji Hiiragi to get familiar with the feel and prepare for the competition, a girl wearing kendo uniform came to the preparation area of Tachibana High School.
This girl is not tall, about 1.5 meters tall. She looks like a junior high school student. She looks even more petite when she puts on the kendo uniform.
She has a female student's hair - that is, ear-length short hair. She has a delicate appearance, looks very youthful and energetic, has a well-behaved appearance, fair skin, and a small face that can be covered with a slap, but she is so cute. In appearance, there is no expression on his face.
She stood on tiptoe and looked around among the staff as if she was looking for something.
"Who are you looking for?" Yuka Kikawa, the female manager of the kendo club, stepped forward and asked politely.
She looked indifferent, glanced at Yuka Takagawa with a smile on her face and ignored him, then locked her target and walked straight to Jinguji Hiiragi.
"I heard you're engaged?"
Jinguji Hiiragi, who was confronting Higashino Yu and looking for each other's flaws, was distracted when he heard this. People in Tachibana High School were also stunned when they heard this.
Dong Yeyu seemed unaffected, seizing the opportunity to attack with a smile.
"Aha!"
A precise and fast horizontal slash struck Jinguji Hiiragi in the abdomen.
"Don't let your guard down at any time, especially when you're facing off against the Juggernaut."
Higashino Yu smiled enigmatically and made a blood-vibrating movement like the Katori Shinto flow. He twisted his wrist and the bamboo sword flew in the air due to inertia. Then he held the scabbard firmly and made the movement of sheathing the sword.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, showing the demeanor of a swordsman, not like someone who had just made a sneak attack.
Jinguji Hiiragi rolled his eyes at him and pursed his lips: "It doesn't count."
I don't understand how a person who is usually so calm and reliable can occasionally go crazy and jump to such an extent.
"Why don't you count it? It's in full view of everyone!" Dong Yeyu looked at the others.
The girls of Tachibana High School were still thinking about the strange girl talking about Jinguji Hiiragi's engagement. They didn't expect Higashino Yu to allow themselves to support his cheating behavior, so they looked at Higashino Yu as if their attention was diverted.
After looking at him for a moment, they all laughed, as if the god-like young man who had always been so aloof had finally fallen to the ground. After the brilliance faded, he became even more approachable.
Seeing this, the girl in the kendo uniform looked at Dong Yeyu, as if she was identifying something. After a moment, she frowned delicately: "Is he your fiancée?"
Ignoring the gossip-filled eyes of the people around her, she walked up to Dong Yeyu, looked up and said, "She doesn't like you, can she cancel the engagement?"
"You're not her, how do you know what she's thinking?" Dong Yeyu asked curiously.
The girl frowned: "She can't possibly like someone like you who is obsessed with fame and wealth. I know her very well."
"Don't you ask her for her opinion?"
"She has her responsibilities, so even if you ask, you won't get a sincere answer from her."
The girl looked serious, "If you take the initiative to break off the engagement, I can introduce you to a girl with the same famous family name. With your appearance and style, few girls will reject you except Jinguji."
A bit baffling. Higashino Yu glanced at Miyadera Hiiragi, should I just drive her away?
However, Jinguji Hiiragi looked like he regarded Higashino Yu as his family member, lowering his eyebrows and saying nothing.
Higashino Yu then pondered for a moment, thinking that maybe the girl's family had an old relationship with the Jinguji family, so he didn't fall out directly for Jinguji Hiiragi's sake.
"Not to mention that what you said is all your own imagination, and there is no evidence that it is correct. Secondly, no matter what I do, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Dong Yeyu suppressed his smile, his dissatisfaction was already obvious.
"Why don't you want to?" The girl asked as if she couldn't see his face.
"I have no obligation to explain to you, miss. In my opinion, you are just an inexplicably self-righteous person who neither respects Hiiragi Kyung, nor yourself, nor me. You only believe in rumors and your own imagination. If If you continue to act with such arrogance, please leave."
Higashino Yu looked down at her, and the majestic aura of the immortal was suppressed from the beginning. Both the staff and the people at Tachibana High School felt their hearts sink. Some people touched their chests and wondered if there was something wrong with the air exchange system in the gymnasium.
The girl who was cared for alone by this aura felt as if a mountain was weighing on her head.
"If you don't want to be embarrassed, just leave here." Dong Yeyu reminded again.
The girl was unmoved, even though her body was shaking uncontrollably, her knees gradually bent, until she finally knelt on the ground with a plop.
At this moment, the girl was completely stunned. She did not expect that the man in front of her would really dare to bully her.
As the little princess of the Shangzhu family, how could she have ever suffered such injustice?
Suddenly suffering such humiliation, she knelt on the ground and looked stunned for a second before she could react. Her crystal eyes were instantly covered with mist, and her whole body was shaking with anger.
Villain!
Shameless person!
He didn't yell out of control, he just stiffened his neck and answered with difficulty: "Is this the power of the shikigami? Is this what you rely on?"
"Do you, a person like you who relied on your family to get all the way here, have the right to say such a thing?"
Dong Yeyu said with disdain, but seeing her kneeling in front of him with tears streaming down her face, her lips pursed to try not to cry, and her neck stiffened to refuse to admit defeat, it felt like she was bullying a child.
Not interesting.
He put away his breath and waved his hands, his intention to see the guests off was obvious.
"You'll regret it."
"We'll see." Dong Yeyu didn't care.
asshole. The girl gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart, looked at Jinguji Hiiragi and wiped her tears.
"I hope you won't be affected by this incident. What I want to defeat is Jinguji Hiiragi in his prime, not you who are stuck in these messy things and can't get out."
After she finished speaking, she glared at Dong Yeyu again, turned around and left.
A staff member thought something had happened here and came over to ask. People at Tachibana High School didn't know how to answer.
"Maybe it's a love triangle." One of the substitutes said seriously.
The staff member glanced at Dong Yeyu and nodded thoughtfully.
This person feels like he is seriously ill.
Looking at her figure, Higashino Yu felt familiar, and asked Jinguji Hiiragi: "Is she your friend?"
Jinguji Hiiragi was also a little confused about this strange girl who suddenly came over to say something incomprehensible and then left suddenly. She recalled it and shook her head.
"No, I just met her in previous games."
"Oh? Destined rivals?"
"They're just unrelated people."
I have suddenly figured out the key to coding in the morning, and I don’t have to rush to the deadline anymore!
