Chapter 573 You Definitely Want to Kill Me!

Chiba Kenichi clenched his bamboo sword with both hands, and reviewed the countermeasures he had thought of during the break.

Known: High school student... Known that Hojo-san's speed and strength are not weaker than his own, and even surpass him by a certain distance. As for his kendo skills... Because he lost too quickly, I couldn't make an accurate judgment, but at least he would not be worse than me, so I would consider him as a seventh-dan kendo player.

Question: How to defeat someone who surpasses me in speed, strength and swordsmanship?

Answer: Find the flaw and kill him with one blow.

Chiba Kenichi admitted that Hojo-san was really strong, and completely surpassed the power of time with his talent. The talent gap was so great that it was despairing. But! He is not invincible.

Flaw!

Chiba Kenichi, the sixth-dan trainee and deputy inspector of Azabu Police Station, has seen through it!

The despairing talent brought Hojo Kyosuke a strength beyond his age, and it also inevitably made this young man arrogant!

Although the two fought for a short time, when reviewing the game afterwards, Chiba Kenichi had already realized with his experience as a sixth-dan trainee that Hojo Kyosuke had more than one chance to defeat him faster. For example, the first time they exchanged swords, he did not show the speed of the second fight at all. This is not the point. The point is the second time. He could have scored directly by hitting the face or beheading, but Hojo Kyosuke chose to chop off his hand!

Chop off his hand!

Yes, it is exactly the same as those high school students before. Even if he would attack other places to cover up at the beginning, he would still choose to chop off his hand to win in the end.

Chiba Kenichi did not believe that the enemy who could defeat him would only master the skill of chopping off his hand. Combined with the information he learned during the break just now, he concluded:

This young man is so proud that he shows through the act of chopping off his hand that no matter how the opponent resists, it is impossible for him to leave his hand after attacking him.

Just like his nickname "Devil without Hands".

It's really exaggerated. Even in the dojo of Beichen Ittoryu, there are few people as devout as him. His obsession with "cutting hands" is just like that of a fanatic. As expected, he is a person who is expected by such a powerful ancient swordsmanship. Although he is proud, his sincerity for swordsmanship is also admirable.

In summary, the trainee 6th dan made a decision: give up the defense of other parts of the body and focus all his energy on his hands!

He had a hunch that if he could defend himself, then his swordsmanship would definitely break through the limit!

"Please teach me more"

Chiba Kenichi's eyes were like a falcon, very spiritual, as if they were shining with a sharp light. If Hata Goro saw it, he would definitely exclaim loudly, "Ah, are you finally going to cut me to death!"

"Please teach me more."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and returned the greeting. After struggling for a while about how much strength to use, he finally decided to treat Chiba Kenichi as an ordinary member of the runaway angel.

Another policeman, Ishibashi, who was the referee, gave his colleague an encouraging look, and then waved the flag to signal the start of the match.

This time, Chiba Kenichi did not stand there waiting for Hojo Kyosuke to attack first. In fact, he blushed when he thought of his previous actions. It turned out that he was the arrogant one.

Without hesitation, he stared at the ground with his right foot and moved his left foot slightly forward until the tips of their swords touched each other, but as soon as they touched, he quickly retreated.

The rules and moves of Neon competitive kendo are based on real sword fighting, so it is also the same as a real samurai duel, high attack and low defense, one-hit decision system, unlike other armored fighting. Just like the more realistic sword and halberd movies, most of the time of the duel between two swordsmen is spent before swinging the sword, various tests, psychological games, holding the sword and moving sideways, like elementary school students playing games, even the opportunity to throw away the straw sandals may be cut in half.

Therefore, in kendo competitions, you can often see a roar and a leap of half a meter high, swinging the sword fiercely, and the middle school level shouting "Fallen Heaven Slash" or "Crescent Moon Scimitar" or something like that. It is easy to judge that it is a junior high school level competition, and at most high school. When it is upgraded to the fifth and sixth dan of kendo and above, you will see both sides dawdling for a long time, like dancing tango. The martial virtue is more abundant. The Metropolitan Police Department kendo competition is even more stumbling into ground fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Now Chiba Kenichi has taken out 120 points of concentration, just like participating in the finals of the All Neon Kendo Championship.

Staring at Hojo Kyosuke on the opposite side, he kept moving his feet back and forth, left and right, and as long as he noticed the slightest fluctuation in the dark eyes on the opposite side, he would immediately retreat and enter a defensive state.

Finally, looking at the tip of Hojo-san's sword that did not shake at all, the trainee Mr. Sixth Dan determined that the opponent did not intend to attack him, and only if he attacked would he counterattack.

The previous attempts were completely in vain, but Chiba Kenichi, who was sweating profusely, was not discouraged. The psychological game just now made him feel that his kendo skills were even more advanced. After all, although the Hojo-san on the opposite side did not move, the pressure he gave was really terrible. Although his eyes were not very sharp, he clearly conveyed the words "I will kill you".

Really strong.

"Ah, why don't you come over? I'm in a hurry to go on a date."

Hojo Kyosuke thought boredly, the guy on the opposite side kept jumping back and forth, and I didn't know what he was doing. Did he want to exhaust his patience? What a joke, when it comes to patience, Hojo Kyosuke can make a dog cry by just staring blankly.

Kenichi Chiba realized that his mental and physical strength were rapidly fading away, and he knew that he couldn't wait any longer. He shouted loudly, and rushed forward with his right leg. He didn't choose to chop, but took the risk of choosing the "throat stab" which was the most difficult to hit. This was a decision made after careful consideration. After all, whether it was a face-hit or a body-cut, the hands would be exposed. Only when stabbing the throat, the hands were closest to the body, and there was a super-long distance between the bamboo sword and the reaction.

Shouting, Kenichi Chiba pushed the ground with both feet, sprinting with the flat blue eyes, aiming directly at Hojo Kyosuke's throat.

It's finally here, Hojo Kyosuke sighed, then let go of the hilt with his left hand, held the sword with his right hand and raised it high, with the tip of the sword pointing directly to the ceiling.

Hmm? ?

Kenichi Chiba suddenly felt his whole body tremble, and even without looking, he knew that the hairs on his body had stood up.

The trembling murderous intent suddenly enveloped him.

I'm going to die!

If Hojo Kyosuke's sword fell, he would die! One hundred percent, no doubt!

His sprinting spirit was unstoppable. Seeing that the tip of his sword was less than 20 centimeters away from piercing Hojo Kyosuke's throat, Chiba Kenichi relied on his well-trained physical fitness. His knees softened and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

The handsome Ping Qingyan's stab instantly turned into a kneeling slide. At the same time, he shouted at the moment of kneeling:

"I give up!!"

His voice was full of fear, but the tearing sound of the wind in his ears almost made him unable to hear his own voice. He knew that it was the sound of Hojo Kyosuke swinging his sword.

Even the sound of the wind produced by swinging the sword has the power to destroy people's hearing. How terrifying is this slash?

"Bang--!!!"

A dull and huge sound sounded beside Chiba Kenichi. He subconsciously turned his head to look to his side. The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and beads of sweat condensed and slid down his forehead.

At this moment, the tip of the bamboo sword, that is, the part covered by the soft and thick "Ginpi", is now stuck in the wooden floor.

Yes, the hard wooden floor was directly hit by Hojo Kyosuke's slash, and a hole was made in it. The deerskin-tanned "Ginpi" has been pierced by the hard bamboo inside.

"Eyeyeeeeeee——!!"

Ishibashi, who was the referee on the sidelines, was too shocked by his colleague's sliding knees. He was looking at the hole made by Hojo Kyosuke's bamboo sword on the floor and screaming.

"Tie Mie! You bastard want to kill me, right!"

"Yeah, yeah, you want to blow my head off, right!"

"I told you to use all your strength, not to beat me to death with all your strength!"

"Do you know how embarrassing it is for a policeman to be killed in a kendo match? You know it's against the law, right? You should know that, right? Even if you're a minor, you can't get away with it!"

"Just a little bit, just a little bit, and my life would be over. I haven't even given birth to a son yet, and the bloodline of the Chiba family was almost cut off because of a small kendo exchange. My ancestors will come to you at night to claim your life."

"I..."

Chiba Kenichi stared at the hole beside his leg, took a deep breath, and his whole body was shaking. Yes, that was all the psychological activities of this trainee, Mr. Sixth Dan. He was not a retard who dared to curse at the swordsman who could end his life with one knife. His IQ did not allow him to have that pure courage.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Hojo-san. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

The kneeling slide just now was not wasted. Chiba Kenichi took advantage of the situation and did a dogeza, which was a perfect ending for this dogeza.

"You are too polite."

Hojo Kyosuke took a step back and said politely, then looked at his bamboo sword with some heartache.

This is the "Ginpi" made of fine deerskin. He cut so many people without breaking it, but it was damaged because of a mere trainee 6th dan.

Damn it, why didn't you catch my sword? Why did you admit defeat?

Someone thought sadly in his heart, if this guy hadn't admitted defeat so quickly and suddenly, he wouldn't have chopped the sword to the ground next to him. After all, the sword had been swung down, and even if he wanted to hold back such a strong force, he would have to worry about whether his wrist would be injured. The best result is to cut on the soft body of a human, so that the protective gear and fat will help the opponent to buffer part of it, and he doesn't have to change the trajectory of the sword uncomfortably.

Do you know what a swordsman pursues for the suture of a sword?

Thinking of this, Hojo Kyosuke's eyes changed slightly when he looked at someone on the ground.

Chiba Kenichi, who was leaning against his thigh and raising his head with some humility, trembled again and slammed his head down again:

"I'm really sorry, because I was too weak to catch Hojo-san's sword, causing your bamboo sword to be damaged. I will be responsible for compensation!"

"That's not the case. If I had used more strength, it would have been better." Hojo Kyosuke said hurriedly. How can you ask for compensation after breaking your sword by cutting someone? Hmm... Wait a minute, it seems quite reasonable? If it wasn't for cutting you, how could my sword be broken?

Chiba Kenichi thought that the god was still angry that he didn't die obediently, and he was about to kowtow again.

But there were footsteps and voices next to him.

"Are you okay? What happened, Kenichi, what's wrong with you?"

It turned out that Director Arisugawa ran over. They were still some distance away from the competition field and couldn't see the details. From their perspective, it is:

Chiba Kenichi's body was steady, with a flat blue eye in the shape of an ancient kendo sword, his feet staggered forward and backward, and he stabbed towards Hojo Kyosuke with lightning speed, while Hojo Kyosuke stood there as if he was frightened. , it was not until Chiba Kenichi's bamboo sword was about to come that he could react and raised the bamboo sword with one hand in a panic.

But just when victory was in sight, Chiba Kenichi inexplicably began to slip to his knees? ?

Not even after kneeling down, this guy actually started to get off his seat.

It is true that your move of sliding to your knees and then getting down from the seat is quite smooth and graceful, but this is a kendo competition!

What are you doing, Chiba? It’s so disgraceful!

Director Arisukawa shouted and rushed over, and a group of people around him, Mitsuha Miyamizu, Himeno Kiyoko and others, also quickly followed. Among everyone, only Hojo Kyousuke's relatives and friends could guess what happened.

When he came closer, Director Arisukawa's eyes started to tremble as he was about to continue asking questions.

"This, this... this hole was made by Hojo-kun with a bamboo sword??"

The director asked, pointing to the potholes on the ground. The wooden floor had good elasticity, and the potholes now were much smaller than before.

Chiba Kenichi was about to explain to his boss when he heard Maki Kyosuke laughing and saying:

"Hahahaha, Hojo, it's just an exchange. Why are you so serious? You want to scare people to death."

Co-author You all know that Hojo-san can kill me with one strike! ?

Hearing the loud laughter, Mr. Sixth Dan, a practitioner, had no time to explain to his superiors and fell to the ground again.

"Sorry, Hojo-san, I couldn't let you use your full strength."

A tear slipped from the corner of Chiba Ken's eye, what a shame! !

It would have been better if he had died under that knife just now. Thinking that he had asked Hojo Kyosuke to use his full strength, the gentleman couldn't help but think.

"Don't feel so guilty. Please keep your head straight, Chiba-san."

Hojo Kyosuke bent down, stretched out his hand to pull Chiba Kenichi up, and then added:

"I'm used to this kind of thing."

"..."

Chiba Kenichi lowered his head, not daring to look at his boss. He was silent for a moment and asked:

"What level of Kendo is Hojo-kun at now?"

"Three sections."

Hojo Kyosuke answered truthfully, according to the regulations of the Neon Kendo Federation, only those who are 13 years old or older can apply for the first-dan examination of Kendo. Only those who have practiced for more than one year after the first-dan award can apply for the second-dan examination. Two years after the second-dan, only those who can take the third-dan examination can , and so on. So now he has only passed the third level exam.

This assessment method has its advantages and disadvantages. It prevents people from blindly rushing to levels and forces practitioners to consolidate and lay a solid foundation. However, on the other hand, it is too rigid. Therefore, the so-called eighth-level sword masters are almost all uncles and grandfathers.

"Your level of swordsmanship is definitely not just 3rd Dan. You can also try 6th Dan, no, maybe 7th Dan."

Chiba Kenichi said seriously.

"Haha, but it took me less than half a year to pass the third-dan exam. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it." Hojo Kyosuke said casually.

"Although the All-Sword Federation has such regulations, there are also regulations that allow those with outstanding abilities to apply for a job that does not require full years of service."

"That would be too much trouble for others."

"For a genius like Hojo-kun, it is the rules of the All-Sword Alliance that cause trouble for you, not you that cause trouble for the alliance!"

Chiba Kenichi said firmly that if Hojo-san could pass the 80th-dan or 90th-dan exam early, it would be natural for him to lose to him.

It was a shame to lose to a high school kid, but it was an honor to lose to the youngest sword master in Neon history.
