The all-powerful middle schooler

"No! We need to regroup first."

Saeko Busujima immediately slapped the ground, used the momentum to get up, did a somersault in the air, and landed.

This was a thrilling battle of offense and defense. The ever-increasing offensive and speed of both sides were so captivating that there wasn't even a moment to gasp in surprise.

This should be the quietest challenge the audience has ever faced, because they were using almost all their strength to watch the game with their own eyes, and it was also very blurry, as if 1080p had been turned into 360p.

"Can you see the flaw in my sword technique, Hasegawa-kun?"

Saeko Busujima couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.

"This is the Dugu Nine Swords - Breaking Sword Style, which is designed to break all sword techniques in the world. Senior's sword technique has not surpassed this framework either... But this is probably related to the fact that you haven't fully mastered your own sword style, right?"

On a whim, Hasegawa Izumi generously provided her answers.

In his opinion, his senior's sword skills were lacking a special kind of energy to be fully utilized.

In other words, this sword technique should be at an extraordinary level.

Unfortunately, given the current framework of this world, it will take some time to fully reveal its potential.

"To break all sword techniques under heaven? That's far too much of an exaggeration."

Saeko Busujima looked incredulous.

"This is certainly related to the user's comprehension, and other aspects besides sword techniques are also very important... Alright, that's enough small talk."

With a blink of an eye, Izumi Hasegawa regained her arrogant demeanor.

"Senior, your sword is too repressed, conflicting with your consciousness. Your intentions are very clear. Even without the Nine Swords of Dugu, I can block it all. So, come on! Senior, unleash it! Let me see your true self!"

His words struck Saeko Busujima like a heavy hammer blow to her heart.

"What are you talking about? Hasegawa-kun, let's continue our duel."

This senior student, who was always calm and brave in front of outsiders, clearly showed signs of panic, with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Then let our duel end here."

Hasegawa Izumi suddenly sighed.

"Senior Busujima, you've already given me quite a bit of fun... I hope this next move will also leave an indelible mark on your memory!"

After saying that, he assumed a stance as if he was about to draw his sword.

"Breathing of the Moon. Land Form: Everlasting Night, Lonely Moon, Unending!"

Saeko Busujima dared not be careless, gripping her sword hilt and responding with her own sword techniques.

"Deadly, Chain Attack... Three Immortal Swords!"

In a daze, I was shocked to see a person in that inescapable hell, wielding a sword like an immortal, arriving on the moon.

The first sword strike was a straight downward slash from the sky.

Saeko Busujima swung her sword to defend herself, but felt an overwhelming force, as if a mountain were pressing down on her.

With his second sword strike, he quickly withdrew his sword and flicked it back.

Saeko Busujima's wooden sword was instantly knocked away.

The third sword was already pressed against her neck.

"I, lost."

As Saeko Busujima admitted it, she also let out a sigh of relief. The consequences of overusing her breathing technique and the effects of the injuries she sustained during the battle were all becoming apparent.

As if her adrenaline had been released, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, her body felt weak, her vision blurred, and she collapsed backward.

This battle.

She lost the honor of being the captain of the kendo club.

She lost the prestige of the Busujima family.

He also lost the heart of a swordsman.

"I'm sorry... Hasegawa-kun."

"It's my fault for not being able to give you enough fun."

"next time……"

"If there is another chance, I will show you the sword that truly belongs to me!"

55. Today's winner is—

Seeing that Saeko Busujima was about to faint on the ground, Izumi Hasegawa reacted quickly and gentlemanly reached out his right hand to hold her waist.

He only acted coldly because we were opponents; it was a way of showing respect.

Now that I'm a senior, I naturally need to show my superior demeanor.

Upon closer inspection, Busujima-senpai's beauty made him realize that, aside from her identity as a swordsman, she was indeed a standard beauty with an enviable figure. Her battle-worn appearance at this moment was, undeniably, somewhat tragically beautiful.

"Senior Busujima!"

The outcome was already decided, and the first to rush over were the girls from the kendo club who were worried about Saeko Busujima's safety.

"It's nothing serious, she just fainted from exhaustion. She'll be fine after a rest."

Hasegawa Izumi handed the senior student over to this girl.

"Well, that's good... Also, Hasegawa-san, thank you for going easy on me."

The girl from the kendo club, with tears in her eyes and a hint of respect, nodded sincerely to him.

The superb swordsmanship he displayed in the duel just now might only seem like impressive martial arts to an outsider, but to an expert, it reveals a unique and elegant beauty that belongs solely to the sword.

"Wow! Hasegawa won!"

"Even Busujima-senpai couldn't stop her?"

"Could it be that times have truly changed?"

At this moment, enthusiastic applause erupted from the spectators, cheering for this extremely exciting swordsmanship battle.

Even those who dislike Hasegawa and firmly stand on the side of Shuchiin couldn't help but admire him.

However, one person was particularly unhappy.

"That Izumi guy actually took advantage of the situation! Even though he said it was to help Busujima-senpai, he still touched her! And he even gave her that kind of look!"

Eriri bit her lip, her hands clenched tightly, she was furious.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Shinomiya-san didn't come."

Suddenly, she looked around, curious about the other person's expression, but she couldn't find him.

"Izumi-chan, another resounding victory!"

Fujiwara Chika and the others came to his side.

"Sage, your swordsmanship is so cool! So this is what a true master of swordsmanship looks like? I've really learned something new. I'll definitely hone my skills in this area from now on."

Sanae Tokomori looked excited, gripping her sword in mid-air and wildly swinging it around.

Even the guy swinging the sledgehammer wants to give it a try!

"Even the Evil King's True Eye probably couldn't replicate that kind of technology. This world seems to be much larger than I imagined."

Rikka Takanashi felt a little embarrassed, but still spoke with conviction.

Nibuya Morika glanced at the two beside her with an expression that said, "To be honest, I've really learned something new. Hasegawa, your swordsmanship is so superb that you actually surpassed Busujima-senpai! That makes sense now. No wonder your physical abilities are so strong; you really are a master!"

This battle truly redefined her understanding of Hasegawa.

This chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient is actually a super genius who excels in both academics and martial arts.

They're not even in the same league as those small fry.

For some reason, she felt ashamed of herself.

"I've always been a master, it's just that I don't usually have the chance to use it. If it weren't for the need to make the 'Far East Magic Society' famous, I might have even been preparing to become a 'Shadow Power User'."

When faced with her friends' well wishes, Izumi Hasegawa immediately put on a smile and said in a joking tone.

The girls immediately felt a sense of kinship, and there was no sense of distance between them because of the difference in strength.

"Hasegawa-san, it's time for the interview!"

Ji Kalian jogged over and raised her hand to remind her.

"Then let's go."

He nodded and followed the other person away.

Today, instead of issuing news as before, we're conducting a radio interview.

Through mediation, the news department and the student council discussed using the radio to announce the outcome of the battle to the entire school.

at the same time.

Far away overseas, the current head of the Poison Island family also learned of his daughter's defeat.

"You've disappointed me, Yako... But even using breathing techniques, you still can't keep up with his pace? Hasegawa, could his swordsmanship have reached the 'master' level? How interesting, geniuses are truly emerging one after another in this era..."

He took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, lit the incense next to him, sat back down, kept holding the knife, and closed his eyes to rest.

The wisps of incense smoke gradually filled the entire room.

……

"Hasegawa-san, could I have your autograph?"

"Can we add each other as friends?"

"Hasegawa-san, I'll always support you~"

When Izumi Hasegawa arrived in front of the broadcasting studio, a group of girls kept a certain distance and surrounded her, as if they had met their idol.

They clearly knew the outcome of the contest.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! This is a crucial area, don't cause trouble!"

Jikalian could no longer bear it and scolded them.

However, her prestige was clearly insufficient, and no one reacted at all.

"Hey! I'm a dignified... ugh."

As for Takanashi and Dekomori, they had no fighting power whatsoever and were completely pushed aside.

"Alright everyone, the people at school are still waiting for confirmation. If you continue like this, everyone will be very troubled, right?"

"Izumi Hasegawa said in a gentle tone."

"Get out of the way, everyone, for Hasegawa-san!"

"Don't you dare touch me!"

His speech was a success, and the girls immediately made way for him.

"Huh, Hasegawa is quite shrewd. I thought he would arrogantly look down on these people to drive them away. Is he just putting on a show? For the sake of the club's reputation?"

Dansheng Gusenxia looked surprised.

"Izumi-chan has always been very gentle. Even when I cheat in games, he always indulges me and continues to play with me... at most he'll scold me once."

Fujiwara Chika immediately responded.

Dansheng Valley Mori's eyes flickered, and she turned her head expressionlessly, saying, "I hate cheating players the most."

Chika blushed with embarrassment.

"Uh, I just want to beat Izumi-chan once."

A very weak excuse.

……

"Hasegawa-san, please sit here."

Hasegawa Izumi entered the broadcasting studio and saw the head of the news department, Asahi Shizuku, already wearing headphones. The latter beckoned him over.

Soon, the school's public address system came on.
