Seiko Shujima underestimated people's enthusiasm for the supernatural. When they heard that Seiko was going to fight with Taro, the students were so excited that they even skipped class. Those who could be slaughtered like pigs in the dojo all had unrealistic fantasies about the supernatural. They were really lucky to see the strength of the legendary swordsmanship "girl" of Taidong District.
Putting on the armor, Seiko Shujima wrinkled her nose.
Although this was the armor she had been using and she cleaned it often, the smell was still very pungent.
It was inevitable that the protective equipment used in sports would stink. That was why when she entered university, Seimei Shukushima was smart enough not to join the Kendo club. First, the members of the Kendo club were pitifully weak. Second, the smell of the protective equipment for public use was unbearable. Just the thought of it being worn by hundreds of people was enough to make her gag.
Clang.
After putting on the armor, Taro jumped on the spot and held the staff tightly in his hand. He didn't forget to practice his swordsmanship after he went to university. Just wait and see. He would definitely surprise his big sister.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Under the gaze of the students, Seiko Shujima took the lead and attacked.
The moment she unsheathed her blade, her aura suddenly changed.
Some people had the pressure of Mount Tai when they attacked, while others had the murderous aura of splitting waves. However, Seiko's attack was steady, as steady as cutting glass with a laser knife, like a wind blade cutting through the air.
It was just an ordinary attack, but with this aura, it instantly made people feel as if they were being grabbed by the scalp and the back of the head.
"Ha!"
Taro didn't dodge. Placing the staff diagonally at his side, he used the curve to deflect Seiko Shujima's fatal attack.
His technique was very good, and he looked very handsome.
But it wasn't that simple.
Kendo didn't only test one's body technique and aura, but also the mastery of the weapon in one's hand. The sword was an extension of one's body. One had to remember the length of the sword, the length of the sword, and the curve of the sword.
“！”
Seiko Shujima's staff slid down the curve. She took half a step to the left and feinted Taro's eyes.
"Oh no, I've been tricked."
Taro quickly used the middle part of the staff to defend. But in front of someone like Seiko Shujima, the moment he was tricked could determine his life or death.
Bang!
Even if it was Su Zhen Bang, being smashed on the shoulder was still very painful.
Shukushima Taro staggered a few steps forward, but he managed to grab hold of the staff in his hand.
The onlookers were in an uproar when they saw how easily Seiko Shujima defeated the powerful "Senior Brother" in the dojo.
It had been less than a second. Swordsmanship competitions had always been a game of life and death. However, seeing how Shuroshima Taro, who was the ceiling of the dojo, was so vulnerable, the students all sighed. If they were to go on stage one by one, who would be able to last for half a minute?
"My skills have regressed."
After the event, Seimei Shujima shrugged.
I can't, I can't. I'm getting old. Just playing with a sword makes my shoulders ache.
"Impossible."
Shuroshima Taro held his sword, his eyes filled with doubt. "I've been training in the Kendo Club for a long time, and I've even defeated many seniors."
"Why did he regress?"
If this was in a manga, Taro would have fallen into self-doubt, and his next step would be a sudden burst of power.
"Of course. Not everyone in the Kendo Club is an expert. How can your swordsmanship improve when you're playing chess with a bunch of lousy players?" Seimei Shujima sighed. She couldn't help but feel sorry for herself again.
Her younger brother was like a crane in a flock of chickens, and his opponents were all rookies. However, why couldn't their fifth lesson's enemies be simpler? They didn't ask for Taro to be as silly as him, but they could at least show some flaws.
Dark Angel was nowhere to be seen. She only knew that she was flying toward the south. She couldn't be sure if this was a trap she had set up.
Not to mention the Sword Genius, Department Head Takeo was also unconscious.
"Big Sister … Are you saying that my Heart of Kendo is unstable?" Taro's hand that was holding the Su Zhen Bang was trembling slightly.
Heart of Kendo?
What Heart of Kendo? What was Heart of Kendo?
As an absolute pragmatist, Seimei Shujima didn't believe in stupid things like Heart of Kendo and Sword Will. The Island nation wasn't without elders who had left behind the title of Sword Saint. She didn't see any of them cultivating their Heart of Kendo and Sword Will to the extreme.
Speaking of which, it was impossible for ordinary people to reach the Transcendent level through cultivation. Moribe Takeo, Dark Angel, Bone Lady, Jixing Ku, and Itachi Scythe, which one of them didn't become Transcendent after completing the transformation of their lives?
Wait a minute. Supernatural existence … Sword Genius.
"Sword."
Seimei Shujima looked at the Su Zhen Bang in her hand. Who said that Sword Genius had to be a sword?
Why wasn't he a humanoid demon transformed from a sword?
Or was it like Dark Angel and Feather? Sword Genius used a special method to merge himself with a human?
If Sword Genius was really looking for a human to "parasitize", then this human had to fulfill certain conditions. Sword Genius, Sword Genius. More ominous?
More murderous?
Could they lure the snake out of its hole and make Sword Genius reveal himself?
"No, it's too dangerous. Who would dare to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Seimei Shujima waved the Su Zhen Bang in her hand and shook her head worriedly. Luring the snake out of its hole was too dangerous.
The last person who tried to lure the snake out of its hole, Mrs. Jinnishi, had already been removed from her position. Although it was said that she avoided jail time because of her family background, she would probably suffer a lot. Her Shujima family didn't have such a powerful background to harm her.
What if they really succeeded in luring the snake out of its hole and the bait turned out to be an anti-social monster?
Who would be able to withstand a sword slashing and killing madly?
She felt sad thinking about it. Her family's dojo's business was doing so well because of her. She was the family's biggest hope.
"Sister …"
…
"Miyi-chan, are you really not coming with us for a training trip?"
Miyuki Kahara on the phone said in a sad tone, "Izu Peninsula, there are many hot springs here."
May was the peak period for school tours in the island countries. In the face of the unprecedented ten consecutive Golden Week holidays, private schools naturally had to organize a sufficient holiday trip. Anyway, they were not short of money. However, because of the endless supernatural events this year, many schools had suspended their plans for holiday trips.
Shizuoka Prefecture's Izu Peninsula and Yamanashi Prefecture's Mount Fuji were all good places for a vacation. Further away were places like Kyoto and Nanguo.
"I think I'm not going. I've already reported to the teachers at school. Even if I wanted to go, there's no place for me."
It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to go. However, the poverty wasn't the only thing stopping Mai Sada from going. It was also the shop where she worked. Golden Week was the busiest time. If she ignored the busy work at the shop and went on a vacation, it wouldn't be right.
"Izu Peninsula …" Mai Sada shook her head. Was there any difference between going to a hot spring and going to a bathhouse in winter?
It was silly to spend tens of thousands in one go. Traveling was just spending money to torture.
