I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 114: Breaking the Bamboo!

“They are scared.”

"If it's my turn, I'll fight even if I can't win!"

"So I'm saying, what's the use of having good academic ability and good looks? If you don't even have the courage to hold a sword for your friend, if your girlfriend gets into trouble and is bullied in the future, will you still cower like you do now? That's irresponsible."

The male students watching the fight around saw that Dong Ye Yu was carrying a knife, so they naturally didn't believe it - why would he buy a knife if he hadn't learned swordsmanship?

Some female students who supported Higashino Yu were speechless, with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

"If you don't dare to come, forget it."

Tetsuya Sugaya passed by Imagawa Kashiwagi, looked at Higashino Yu, and shook his head in disappointment.

"You look big, but you are as timid as a mouse. You are afraid to draw the sword after learning swordsmanship. You are not as brave as this kid."

Of course he could see that Dong Ye Yu had not learned much swordsmanship. Whether it was the way he held the sword or his body posture, he looked exactly like an ordinary layman.

The one being beaten is an amateur!

Otherwise, given Higashino Yu's physique and height, Sugaya Tetsuya would not dare to provoke him.

Have you really never seen a monster?

Dong Yeyu frowned.

Having said that, even if he is not right and even if he has never learned swordsmanship, he still has to teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, the news of my cowardice will spread throughout Tachibana High School tomorrow.

When the time comes, people will talk about you wherever you go. How frustrating would that be?
Apart from anything else, it is inevitable that your mentality will be messed up.

In order to avoid trouble, Dong Ye Yu did not think retreating was a good option, and he had to give him a little fox demon shock.

Higashino Yu patted Imagawa Kashiwagi's hand, "Don't worry, Imagawa-kun, I'm sure of it."

"Higashino-kun" Imagawa Kashiwagi was stunned for a second, then sighed and let go of his hand: "Okay, if you lose, I will also fight."

He had learned some swordsmanship in junior high school, although it was not even entry-level. But in the current situation, he had no choice but to attack together if three of them were to fight, and to lie down together if they were to lie down.

Otherwise we won’t be able to be friends in the future.

"Just hold the line for me."

Dong Yeyu nodded and stood up calmly with the sword in his hand.

It is true that I have never learned swordsmanship, but I have fought against the younger brother of the Bianchuan Society before, and I also watched the fight between Arima Norimune and others just now.

With his ultimate control over his body and super memory, it should be no problem for him to reproduce the sword techniques he has used, although the first time he uses it may not be very standard.

What's more, he has the reflexes of a cat, the strength of a bear, and the speed of a leopard.

If you can crush a bamboo sword into pieces, what's the point of swordsmanship?
He walked over and pulled the waist armor of Arima Norimune who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and lifted him up with one hand, "Hey, is it okay?"

Arima Zemune lowered his head and said nothing, it seemed that his faith in Taoism was broken.

But after hesitating for a while, fearing that Dong Ye Yu would be embarrassed too, he turned around and spoke.

"Dongye, you have never learned swordsmanship--"

"Why are you the same as Imagawa? You are afraid of nothing. Your fight just now has provided me with many battle ideas. I am so strong now! Give me the sword and wait for my good news."

"Don't go, he Beichen Yidaoliu took the catalog."

Higashino Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He snatched the bamboo sword from his hand, looked down at Sugaya Tetsuya, and said in a deep voice.

"First grade, Class B, Higashino Yu."

The sound was not loud, but strangely, even though the dojo was a bit noisy at the moment, it could be heard clearly by everyone in the kendo hall.

The noisy kendo hall suddenly became quiet.

The figure in the corner who was concentrating on practicing sword skills in front of the dummy also paused slightly. The students who were watching the game, both boys and girls, were stunned for a second when they heard the voice in their ears.

"So handsome..."

There were a few quiet sighs at first, and after a moment, some girls' screams could be heard sporadically in the silent dojo, "Higashino-kun, come on!"

Then the cheers became one and even there were voices of confessions in between.

"What? Even if you dare to accept the challenge, you may not be able to beat Sugaya-senpai. Aren't you afraid of boomerangs if you open the champagne in advance?"

A group of male students whispered against the wind and muttered.

When Tetsuya Sugaya listened to Higashino Yu's voice, he felt like something heavy was hitting his heart. He felt inexplicably guilty and subconsciously took a step back, but he reacted in a flash.

He has never learned swordsmanship, so why should I be afraid of him?
I’m going to beat this kid up today until he loses all his face!
Sugaya Tetsuya boosted his confidence, smiled and kissed his girlfriend, "Rina, go back, watch me beat them all down."

"Well, don't get hurt, we'll have to--"

"Okay, okay, I got it." Tetsuya Sugaya interrupted his girlfriend's nagging with a headache.

Rina Oho was helpless. She looked at Higashino Yu who easily lifted Arima Norimune, who was wearing a full set of heavy kendo armor, with one hand. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she left the field and returned to the edge of the dojo to sit and wait.

Tetsuya Sugaya went to the referee's seat and talked about starting the second match.

The three people at the referee's table hesitated for a while, but after looking at the atmosphere in the dojo, they nodded in agreement.

It's rare to arouse the passion of these lazy members, and as the president I'm naturally happy to see it happen.

Higashino Yu then carried Arima Norimune and entered the locker room under the guidance of some members, and Imagawa Kashiwagi also followed.

There are extra kendo uniforms and protective gear available in the dojo's locker room.

With the help of Imagawa Kashiwagi and the members, Higashino Yu tied the knot and put on the torso and trousers (crotch protector), while Arima Norimune sat on a stool in a daze.

Finally, after putting on the armor, Higashino Yu handed the Sumime Ichimonji Nagamitsu in his hand to Imagawa Kashiwagi and asked him to help him hold it.

He took Arima Norimune's bamboo sword and swung it a few times. When he felt it was right, he smiled at the two of them and walked out of the locker room.

Imagawa Kashiwagi followed Higashino Yu's sword out, then frowned slightly after feeling the weight of the sword.

He looked down at the knife in his hand, which was wrapped in thick tissue and tape, and was a little confused.

Is the wooden sword so heavy?
When only Imagawa Kashiwagi and himself were left in the locker room, Arima Norimune slowly took off his mask, looked listless and took out a clean towel from his locker to wipe his sweat.

Seeing Imagawa Kashiwagi staring at Higashino Yu's strange wooden sword, he walked over.

"What's wrong, Imagawa?"

"This wooden sword of Higashino-kun is very heavy."

Arima Zemune took the knife doubtfully, his hand felt heavy, he frowned, and carefully touched the outline and general structure of the knife through the tissue and tape, and then touched the hilt.

His face changed immediately and he looked outside the locker room in astonishment.

As if he thought of something, Arima Norimune's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Imagawa Kashiwagi to help him take off his heavy hakama, and walked outside holding the knife.

"Some wooden swords are heavier. Come on, Imagawa, go out and support Tono."

He sounded full of confidence in his words. Imagawa Kashiwagi didn't understand what this kid Arima was crazy about, so he followed him.

Hiiragi Jinguji, who was practicing sword in the corner, was not affected by the discussions and tense atmosphere around her. She looked focused, and her long hair was tied up with a red hairband, leaving only two strands of hair hanging down, which were unique to the princess hairstyle.

Even though he heard his classmates talking about Higashino Yu and the strange atmosphere in the field, he did not get distracted. But not long after, he felt someone tugging at the corner of his kendo uniform from behind.

She frowned slightly and turned her head to look. Her dark eyes, as pure as the night, were filled with coldness. Until she saw clearly who was coming, such coldness turned into helplessness.

Asuhi saw Sanae standing behind her, looking straight at her, speaking in a clear voice with the pride that only belongs to the Moon Witch. She stretched out her hand and said, "We agreed yesterday to teach me some spells."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami looked at her indifferently without saying a word.

Seeing Sanae confronting her for a while, Asuri pouted and put down her heels.

His height suddenly shortened, and he had to look up at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami when he stood in front of him.

Then his tone and posture became normal, and he whispered in a somewhat unaccustomed tone: "Please teach me some spells. You can write them down in a notebook. Hiiragi Kagami."

"What did you say?" Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami asked softly with a calm expression, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

Damn it, you heard it!
Asuhi saw Sanae's face suddenly turn red, but it was obvious that investigating monsters and learning magic were more important than her own face.

The Moon Witch is flexible!

She repeated it through gritted teeth, her voice a little louder, attracting the attention of some students around her.

In fact, she had attracted a lot of boys' attention when she first came in.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami nodded, a smile hidden in the corner of his eyes, lowered his head to cover it with a towel, and spoke in a calm voice.

"Come home with me later."

When Asumi saw that Sanae finally agreed, she hummed softly and nodded slightly, as if to show her approval.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami didn't bother to pay attention to her. He put away his sword and looked at the field. He was shocked to see Higashino Yu who was holding a mask and preparing to start a duel.

"Your knight is competing in sword fighting there. Aren't you worried?"

"He's here too?!"

Ming saw Sanae looking around in panic after hearing that, fearing that the knight would see what she had just done and her dignity would be lost.

It was not until she realized that he was standing in the middle of the field and couldn't see her at all that she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her little head slightly, and sneered.

"A mere mortal. My loyal knight can bring him to his knees with just one sword!"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami watched as Higashino Yu put on the mask, made the Iai movement like he was sheathing a bamboo sword, and walked as if he was taking a walk, and shook his head.

"This is not a life-and-death battle, this is a swordsmanship contest. Although he has good skills, he has never learned swordsmanship, so it will be difficult for him to win."

As someone who has been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, it can be easily seen from his posture and footwork that Higashino Yu is a complete amateur.

But the strange thing is that there seems to be something in that hand.

Like Katori Shinto style Iaijutsu.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's words still carry some weight with Asumi Sanae, as she knows that her childhood sweetheart usually doesn't talk nonsense.

However, Asumi saw Sanae standing in the crowd and looking at Higashino Yu's calm back for a while, and still insisted on her point of view.

This time, there was no disdain in her voice towards her opponent; she simply spoke quietly and seriously, as if she was explaining a fact.

"My knight will not lose."

Tetsuya Sugaya, who was on the field, felt relieved when he saw that Higashino Yu couldn't even use a simple footwork like sending the foot, and started the game with the Iai posture, which completely gave up the initiative.

"Second year of high school, Class F, Tetsuya Sugaya."

He replied in a deep voice, "I can see that you have never learned swordsmanship. It's not too late to kneel down and surrender and take your two friends away!"

Higashino Yu did not answer, but just maintained the Iai posture. His bright eyes could be vaguely seen through the gaps in his mask, and his aura became more and more astonishing.

It was the first time that Tetsuya Sugaya clearly felt the suppression from his opponent's momentum, and he subconsciously clenched the bamboo sword in his hand.

Although I don’t know why a person who has never learned swordsmanship would bring me so much pressure, the arrow has already been drawn and there is no point in asking why.

We can't delay any longer, otherwise we won't even be able to draw our swords.

When Tetsuya Sugaya thought of this, he shouted loudly and stepped forward.

"sudden!"

Dong Yeyu's expression remained unchanged. His originally messy steps like a stroll instantly changed into a step of sending his feet forward. He took several steps forward suddenly, and his speed was so fast that people could not react in time.

At the same time, the bamboo sword in Iai stance was drawn out to deflect Sugaya Tetsuya's thrust, and was slashing down, as if all his energy and spirit were concentrated on this slash!

The cylindrical bamboo sword chopped with the force of a real sword, and it actually gave Tetsuya Sugaya the feeling that he was about to be ripped open.

His momentum, which was at its peak, was instantly taken away. He did not dare to compete with him. He just stared with his eyes wide open, stepped back quickly, and at the same time raised the bamboo sword in his hand horizontally and upwards, trying to block it.

Bang!
When the bamboo swords collided, Tetsuya Sugaya felt as if a mountain had fallen down. His hands went numb, and just as he was about to hold them tightly, the bamboo swords could no longer withstand the force, and they bent and burst, splashing dust and bamboo thorns everywhere.

how come?
Tetsuya Sugaya was stunned, because this bamboo sword he had just bought was a high-end bamboo sword made of real bamboo from Hokkaido.

AAAA grade handmade luxury product, tougher than ordinary bamboo swords.

It was interrupted immediately?
Without waiting for him to react, Higashino Yu maintained his Zanshin and slashed Ichimonji horizontally, perfectly reproducing the unique skill that Kuroda Takeshi had once performed.

Katori Shinto-ryu, Kumokiri!

Woo!
The bamboo sword made a hair-raising hissing sound in the air as it cut across the sky, and Tetsuya Sugaya felt his hair stand on end when he heard the sound.

But he was still in a daze from the interruption of his bamboo sword, and had no time to return to defend. He could only watch as Dong Ye Yu's bamboo sword hit his armor like a blunt weapon.

Bang!
The bamboo sword that had just experienced a collision hit the torso, and the bamboo pieces made a mournful sound. The cylindrical bamboo pieces were all squeezed together and bent, and they whipped Sugaya Tetsuya directly into the air like a spinning top.

Tetsuya Sugaya only felt a sharp pain in his waist and ribs, as if his internal organs were whipped and displaced. He clenched his teeth and showed a painful expression. He felt a sense of weightlessness and the scenery in front of the mask began to spin.

Pfft!
He spun twice in the air and fell face down on the ground with a dull sound.

The whole fight started suddenly and ended just as suddenly, in less than ten seconds in total. Neither the kendo students watching around nor the three people in the referee's seat had time to react.

The president of the Kendo Club and the two members beside him looked at each other in bewilderment. How could this count as a point if there was no Qi harmony?

The entire dojo was silent. Higashino Yu came to Sugaya Tetsuya who was lying on the ground unable to move, stepped on his back, and spoke without emotion.

"I'll take your head first."

After saying this, he used the bent bamboo sword to cut off the head to symbolize beheading, then he swung the hilt to make the blood-vibrating movement of Katori Shintoism, sheathed the sword in front of everyone's eyes, and walked back.

"Stop!"

Sugaya Tetsuya suffered a great humiliation and tried to get up from the ground with a roar, but the injuries in his chest and ribs made it extremely painful for him to breathe heavily, and he was sweating profusely if he struggled with his limbs a little more.

He suspected that his ribs were broken.

In fact, if he hadn't been wearing armor and the bamboo sword had shattered and absorbed most of the force, if it had been replaced with a blunt steel weapon like an iron rod, that one blow would not have been a question of whether his ribs would be broken or not.

The club instructor had to kneel down and beg him not to die.

Rina Oho covered her mouth and ran over in panic to help Tetsuya Sugaya up. He covered his left waist and ribs and shouted in pain.

"You pretended that you didn't know swordsmanship, which made me let my guard down. Your victory was unfair. What's so arrogant about that? Why do you want to chop off my head?!"
