Chapter 526 Ordinary Tourist

"..." Upon hearing Nogawa Kazumasa's words, the man froze on the spot, his brows furrowing tightly.

Two or three seconds later, he realized what was happening and caught up with Nogawa Issei. "Stop joking. Bushido is unique to our Sakura Country. Why would Great Xia surpass us?"

"You and I know very well where Bushido originated," Nogawa Issei reminded the man.

Bushido, if you remove the character for "shi" (士) from the middle, becomes "wudao" (武道).

Although the vast majority of Japanese people and samurai are unwilling to admit this, the fact remains the fact and nothing will change because of it.

"So, what made you think that way?" the man continued to press.

"I just fought someone. That guy was unarmed and easily dodged all my attacks, and..." Nogawa Kazumasa hesitated, after all, it wasn't something to be proud of.

"And what?" The man seemed unusually interested in this.

"And with just a flick of my finger, the katana I was holding flew out of my hand," Nogawa Issei admitted his shortcomings.

As a samurai, one can be arrogant, but not so arrogant that one cannot even admit one's defeat.

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you sure you're not making this up? It's reasonable that I could dodge your attack, but what kind of nonsense is it that I could flick your finger and send the knife flying out of your hand?" The man put on a disbelieving expression.

"I've already told you the truth, and if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." In fact, Nogawa Kazumasa had anticipated this, so he had removed the memory card from the dashcam beforehand, but he didn't intend to tell the man.

If I tell him, he'll definitely pester me to let him see it first.

"..." The man said no more, as they had already arrived at the entrance of the hall.

The door was ajar; I pushed it open and went inside.

Nogawa Kazumasa spotted the person he was looking for at a glance: Nakako Heihachi, the president of the Samurai Association.

"Oh! You two are here so early today." Nakako Heihachi noticed Nogawa Issei and the man's presence, ended his conversation with the others, and walked over.

Nogawa Issei was a promising new talent highly valued by Nakako Heihachi, who devoted himself to cultivating him.

He doesn't want too much; as long as Nogawa Issei becomes one of the Twelve Samurai, he just needs to remember the Samurai Association.

Even if we can't be friends, at least we shouldn't be enemies.

In the land of cherry blossoms, there isn't just one samurai guild; in one city, there are as few as two or three, and as many as seven or eight.

When it comes to interests, the relationship is never going to be good.

"President, I have something very important to tell you."

"Oh! What is it?" To be honest, this was the first time Nakako Heihachi had seen Nogawa Issei so nervous, and he couldn't help but feel nervous as well.

"I..." Nogawa Kazumasa felt that it would be difficult to express himself clearly and convincingly by just talking, so he directly found someone who knew how to operate the projection equipment and gave him the memory card from the dashcam to play the video.

Brush brush!
With all the curtains drawn and the lights off, the visibility in the room decreased significantly.

The projection screen slowly descended.

Immediately afterwards, the scene fast-forwarded to the moment when Nogawa Issei stabbed Chen Wei.

The people in the hall were still confused and thought this was an attempt to praise Issei Nogawa.

"That strike was fast and ruthless!"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to dodge it."

"It seems that Nogawa-kun's opponent is no ordinary person."

……

Such flattery comes naturally to them.

But as the scene progressed, more and more people in the hall fell silent. What was initially thought to be an evenly matched battle gradually revealed that Chen Wei's movements were truly bizarre.

Nogawa Issei's sword was incredibly fast, yet even when he exerted his full strength, he couldn't touch him.

It looked as if Chen Wei could foresee Nogawa Kazumasa's next attack.

Before the shock was even over, the next scene showed Chen Wei jokingly flicking the samurai sword in Nogawa Kazumasa's hand away with a single finger.

The picture stops here.

"Is this...is this a movie shoot?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

"Is this an act? You can see from the footage that Nogawa-kun is using all his strength."

"Full power? You mean, even if Nogawa-kun used his full power, he couldn't defeat someone who was unarmed?" This statement made those who were on Nogawa Issei's side very unhappy.

"What exactly happened?" Nakako Heihachi snapped out of his shock and turned to Nogawa Issei, wanting to find out what was going on.

"As you can see, I was defeated by an unarmed person in this way," Nogawa Kazumasa said loudly.

His words were forceful and clear, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"This..." The scene fell silent again.

Most of the people present had faced Nogawa Issei head-on and were well aware of his strength.

But now, there is someone who can deflect a samurai sword, the symbol of a samurai's life, with a single finger. This guy can no longer be described as a genius; he should be called a monster, an absolute monster!

"Do you know who he is?" Nakako Heihachi asked.

In his view, he needed to get information about this person as soon as possible. He had been studying the list of the twelve warriors to be selected for this year's competition, but he had not seen any information about Chen Wei in it.

Now, Nakako Heihachi has reason to suspect that some people are deliberately hiding a dark horse player.

Although the Twelve Samurai represent the pinnacle of Bushido in Japan, there is one strongest samurai among them, who stands above all other samurai.

Heihachi Nakako believes that the person in the video will definitely become the strongest samurai of this year.

Nogawa Issei knew what Nakako Heihachi was thinking, so he said, "Chairman, that person is not a native of Japan."

"What? How is that possible?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Nogawa-kun, stop joking around. With such profound knowledge of Bushido, how could he not be from Japan?"

"This must just be a joke."

……

Rather than saying they are unwilling to believe it, it would be more accurate to say they are unwilling to admit it.

"What I said is the truth. He is indeed not from Japan, but from Great Xia. His name is Chen Wei, and he is an ordinary tourist visiting Japan." This is all that Nogawa Kazumasa knows about Chen Wei.

Ordinary tourists...

For some reason, many people present could no longer look at those four words directly.

"Hasn't the martial arts of the Great Xia Dynasty declined for many years? Why would such a master appear again?"

"Most importantly, why does he know so much about the Bushido of our Sakura Kingdom?"

"So knowledgeable that he could predict the outcome before the sword is drawn? Is this guy really just a regular tourist in Japan?"
