My dear wife, I still love you more.

Meanwhile, the audience gasped when Hasegawa went first, but they understood the situation and it was somewhat expected. However, this meant Hasegawa would have to fight five opponents to win, even though he had previously taken on three opponents at once. The prospect of fighting five was still incredibly impressive.

"The Empire's one-hit man!"

"Go for it, One-Punch Man! The final championship will definitely be yours."

"Go for it! U.A., you have to take down One-Punch Man!"

"One-hit man, one kills five!"

The vast majority of people are cheering for Hasegawa. After all, Hasegawa is incredibly strong, and they hope to see a miracle from him, especially a miracle of taking on five opponents at once.

The vanguard from U.A. High School is arguably as strong as the captains of teams outside the top eight. When the vanguard entered the arena facing Hasegawa, an immense pressure rose within him. He knew he had no chance of winning; Hasegawa's strength was simply too great. However, he also had his own mission: to wear down Hasegawa's stamina. If they could continuously deplete Hasegawa's energy, even if only the captain remained in the end, defeating Hasegawa would be a victory for them.

With a loud shout, he raised his bamboo sword and slashed at Hasegawa. However, Vanguard didn't use his full strength; in fact, he didn't exert much power at all. He was conserving his strength to deal with Hasegawa's counterattack. Or rather, his attack was merely a feint; he was preparing to defend himself while Hasegawa attacked.

That's right. The vanguard, or rather the three people behind him besides the general, all had a defensive strategy, using defense to wear down Hasegawa's stamina and energy.

Their plan was sound, but unfortunately, they targeted the wrong person. Because of the system, Hasegawa's body had become incredibly strong, even surpassing the abilities of the most elite special forces soldiers. His strength, speed, and endurance were almost superhuman. It was simply impossible for four people to wear down Hasegawa's stamina. Perhaps even ten times that number—forty people—would be needed to tire him out, and even then, he might not be completely exhausted.

Hasegawa's bamboo sword was like a venomous snake; even when his opponent focused all their energy on defending against Hasegawa's attacks, Hasegawa's bamboo sword still pierced through layers of defense.

"throat!"

Snapped!

Hasegawa's bamboo sword was already pressed against the vanguard's throat.

The vanguard's bamboo sword, used for defense, was still halfway to reach Hasegawa's bamboo sword.

One strike, just like any other strike.

"One copy!"

"Oh!"

"One-Punch Man!"

"Long live One-Hit Man!"

"The Empire's one-hit man!"

Seeing Hasegawa win so cleanly and decisively once again, the audience couldn't help but cheer again.

Hasegawa put down his bamboo sword, adjusted his breathing slightly, and had already recovered about 70-80% of the energy he had used in the previous attack.

Actually, the reason Hasegawa always manages to get one book is related to his swordsmanship style. Hasegawa studies the Busujima-ryu school of swordsmanship, which is an ancient, brutal style of swordsmanship. This style of swordsmanship existed from the very beginning for the purpose of killing. Its moves are fierce and ruthless, always targeting the opponent's vital points.

The idea of ​​fighting for a certain number of rounds and then winning by virtue of superior skill is simply impossible in the Busujima-style swordsmanship. It is a killing technique, although such killing techniques are generally not passed on to outsiders. But Busujima Saeko took a liking to Hasegawa and then taught him without reservation.

Therefore, Hasegawa's kendo is actually a killing technique; it can be said to be the kendo of a murderous genius.

Hasegawa was quite strong, almost becoming a sword saint, so his control over the sword was very precise, which is why he didn't hurt anyone in the match. Otherwise, with Hasegawa's strength, almost everyone who fought against him would have died a terrible death.

"One copy!"

"One copy!"

"One copy!"

Hasegawa defeated three players from U.A. High School in a row, and now only the opponent's captain remains.

The general stood before Hasegawa, his expression solemn, with a hint of despair in his eyes. Hasegawa's strength was simply too great; in fact, he sensed that none of his four teammates before him had been able to inflict much damage on Hasegawa.

In truth, he had already given up hope. A monster like Hasegawa shouldn't even be in a competition like the Jade Dragon Flag. A monster of that strength... Initially, it was just Busujima Saeko, but Busujima Saeko was ultimately a woman, and she never had the chance to fight them. So, although they initially thought Busujima Saeko was very strong, completely unmatched in the women's division, because they were men in the men's division, they didn't have the opportunity to fight her. Therefore, while they felt Busujima Saeko was very strong, they could still somewhat deceive themselves.

But now, at Soubu High School, another male monster has emerged. In fact, he is even more ruthless and efficient than Saeko Busujima in battle, finishing off anyone with a single blow.

The general knew he couldn't win, but he felt that no matter what, he had to break Hasegawa's invincible stance.

One-hit man, he only needs one hit to defeat his opponent. The general decided that this time, even if he had to risk his life, he couldn't let Hasegawa finish him off in one hit; it would take at least, well, two hits.

Chapter 137 Skill Upgrade

The general watched Hasegawa with a cautious expression. Even though Hasegawa didn't attack, he still felt immense pressure facing him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Yet, even so, he didn't consider launching an attack.

Hasegawa looked at this person who wasn't taking the initiative to attack and shook his head inwardly. It seemed that he would have to take the initiative again. But it was good that this was the last match. Hasegawa really didn't like this kind of match.

Standing under the spotlight, being the center of attention and watched by so many people, was something Hasegawa was already uncomfortable with. Even in kendo competitions, there were various rules, and he had to wear this kind of armor and mask. To be honest, it was very stuffy. After each fight, even though it was only a single strike to end it, he still felt his clothes were damp, and his body felt slightly sticky.

If the opponent doesn't attack first, then let Hasegawa take the initiative. After the attack is over, he won't have to be the center of attention like a monkey anymore.

"noodle!"

With a soft shout, Hasegawa gripped his sword with both hands and slashed heavily at his opponent.

Hasegawa usually attacks the face or throat, because that's the only way to kill his opponent in one blow.

So the general was well-prepared, focusing all his energy on vital areas like his face and throat.

Upon hearing Hasegawa call for noodles, his body instinctively moved the bamboo sword toward his face.

However, Hasegawa was too fast; the bamboo sword was already about to strike his mask the moment he shouted.

"No, no, this can't be, this can't be! One hit, one hit and I lose? How is that possible? I am, the Admiral! I am the strongest Admiral of U.A. High School! At least, at least I should be able to block one hit—" the Admiral roared in his heart.

Whether it was due to his own strong will or some other reason, suddenly, the general found that his speed had increased, and he seemed to be able to do things that were previously impossible. Under Hasegawa's pressure, he broke through directly.

The general was overjoyed. Although he didn't know if he could defeat Hasegawa after the breakthrough—Hasegawa was far too powerful, almost like someone from another dimension—he was now much stronger. At the very least, he could withstand one of Hasegawa's attacks and would definitely not be completely defeated again.

Before Hasegawa's bamboo sword could fall, he finally raised his own sword to block it in front of him.

A hint of surprise flashed in Hasegawa's eyes. He hadn't expected the other party to break through at this time. However, even if Hasegawa had broken through, he was still far from it. He had probably only just broken through to level 4, while Hasegawa was about to reach level 5. In addition, with his physical advantages, this guy was still the kind of person who was easily defeated in Hasegawa's eyes.

If he were to fight Saeko Busujima, he could probably last a few more rounds, but that would be about it.

Without changing his sword technique, Hasegawa released a fraction of the power he had been holding back.

bump!

Hasegawa's bamboo sword struck the general's bamboo sword. Hearing the sound of the swords clashing, the general's face lit up with joy. He had blocked it! He had really blocked it! He wouldn't be knocked down in one blow. That was truly amazing.

However, the general's excitement had barely begun when he felt an immense force coming from the bamboo sword he was holding, a force that instantly shattered all his strength.

With a snap, he could no longer hold onto the bamboo sword, which fell from his hands. Then, as if without any hindrance, Hasegawa's bamboo sword landed directly on his mask.

bump!

The general was knocked down by Hasegawa's attack. Even after falling to the ground, the powerful force still caused him to roll uncontrollably several times, covering a distance of seven or eight meters before finally collapsing to the ground.

The general lay motionless on the ground, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him, as if all his thoughts had been shut down and his mind had become a complete mess.

"One copy!"

The referee announced loudly.

"One! One! One!"

"One-hit man! Empire's one-hit man!"

Screams erupted from the audience, creating an incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere, almost like a concert by a singer performing an anime theme song.

However, Hasegawa ignored the screams at this moment, and he didn't even care about anything else.

At this moment, Hasegawa's eyes revealed a look of wild joy. Just the instant he defeated the enemy general, his swordsmanship skill was directly upgraded to level 5, reaching the maximum level!

Almost instantly, Hasegawa received feedback from the skill.

"Sword skills are at max level, host's physical fitness has been greatly improved, and host's charm has been enhanced to a certain extent."

Although reaching the maximum level in Kendo only seems to improve two aspects, seemingly incomparable to the feedback gained from reaching the maximum level in Language, the actual improvement in physical attributes encompasses many facets: speed, strength, agility, and reflexes. This comprehensive enhancement alone is already on par with the feedback from reaching the maximum level in Language. Not to mention, Hasegawa's charm has been amplified once again.

In fact, because of his improved physical abilities due to his athletic skills this time, Hasegawa's charm has increased even more than before.

By clenching his fist slightly, Hasegawa discovered that his strength had more than doubled compared to before. He was full of energy, like a car that had been upgraded with a new energy engine. This feeling was intoxicating and captivating.

He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, but the mask was still a bit stuffy, so Hasegawa simply reached out and lifted the mask off his head.

After removing his mask, Hasegawa's face, now even more refined and handsome due to his maxed-out kendo skills and enhanced charm, was directly exposed to everyone's gaze.

In an instant, the sports field, which had been filled with screams and noise, fell silent. All sounds ceased abruptly.

The sudden change startled Hasegawa, who was somewhat confused as to what had happened.

I looked around blankly, but there was nothing unusual about it.

On the largest monitor in the stadium, Hasegawa's face was displayed in its entirety. His handsome and delicate face was fair and flawless, yet it did not give people the impression of being a pretty boy. Instead, it gave people a sense of determination, with a hint of bewilderment on his face.

Chapter 138 Kasumigaoka Utaha is going crazy

Snapped!

Something fell to the ground, breaking the silence.

"what!!!"

"So handsome!!!"

"Mom, I'm in love!"

What should I do if my heart is beating so fast?

"I can't breathe. I'm suffocating."

A scream suddenly erupted, almost lifting the ceiling of the sports field. The sudden scream startled Hasegawa.

A variety of screams reached his ears, and Hasegawa was still a little confused. However, he then thought of his maxed-out kendo skills, which, in addition to the improvement in his physical abilities, also included an increase in his charisma. And the most direct manifestation of charisma was that his face had become more handsome.

Could it be that these people are screaming because of their appearance?

While it's true that no one dislikes being handsome, getting so many people screaming seems a bit excessive. And the last boost to his charm was merely a slight improvement in attractiveness. Is this another such dramatic increase?

Regardless of the reason, Hasegawa lowered his head and subconsciously covered his face.

Once their faces were covered, the screams gradually subsided. Although the atmosphere was still somewhat frenzied, it was much better than before.

Hasegawa breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, Saeko Busujima stared intently at Hasegawa, her eyes subtly gleaming with a hint of allure.

She already had a great fondness for Hasegawa, but at this moment she suddenly felt that she could no longer leave Hasegawa. She twisted her body slightly, and at this moment, her body even had an inappropriate reaction. She blushed slightly, but fortunately, her kendo uniform was still quite concealing, so outsiders could not see anything.

Meanwhile, in the audience, the trio, including Sayuri Sawamura, were all staring intently at Hasegawa.

Needless to say, Yui Yuigahama is a huge fan of Hasegawa, so she didn't particularly notice that he seemed even more handsome. She simply thought it was because she liked Hasegawa that he was so handsome, and since he had just won the Tamatsukuri Kendo Tournament, he was naturally even more dashing. She assumed it was a bonus from winning the championship.
