Daily life in Zongman

The live broadcast room fell silent as the two hosts watched the game along with millions of people across the country.

The referee raised the flag to indicate that the score was valid.

Kendo competitions are based on a three-point system, one-on-one, and the first one to score two points wins!

For this reason, the crushing game is always very fast, so fast that the audience has not even reacted before the game is over, and the two players have already started to salute each other and prepare to leave.

This match was just like a duel between ancient warriors. There was not much fighting or sparring between the two sides. There was only a full-strength attack after testing each other.

Killing with one strike, the pursuit of life and death in all life-and-death struggles from ancient times to the present day, is also reflected in modern kendo competitions. The entire competition is full of simplicity, speed, and lethality. If both sides did not have strict protective gear, kendo competitions would result in death or disability.

Heiji Hattori looked at the opponent who was saluting him and preparing to leave, and his heart was filled with admiration. He knew very well that his failure was not caused by mental exhaustion from a long battle.

There was a huge gap in absolute strength between the two, and he realized this after his active attack was easily blocked. Even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he would still fight with all his strength, using up his last bit of energy to hurt him.

This was also the feeling he had when he stabbed out the sword at the end, but in the end he accomplished nothing, his opponent was unharmed, and he was already "dead".

After leaving the scene, Heiji Hattori walked to his own team and said in a dull voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy. The enemy general is terrifyingly strong."

The second striker nodded and began to stretch his hands and feet, preparing to go on the court.

In the live broadcast room, Hoshino Clara's face was filled with excitement: "The general of Tanigawa Junior High School - Fujiwara Haru, won!"

The comments began to be mixed with regretful voices: "What a pity! Heiji and Hattori had used up too much energy before. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so slowly and been taken down directly by their opponent. What a pity."

Commentary: "19 consecutive wins, this is already a lifetime achievement. Heiji Hattori will definitely win this year's Fighting Award."

Commentary: "The opponent was decent, giving Heiji and Hattori some time to recover, but he's fought 19 games in a row today, and the mental exhaustion isn't something he can recover from in a few minutes. This Fujiwara Haru guy won unfairly."

After a few minutes of barrage of comments.

"Tanigawa Junior High School's leader, Fujiwara Haru, wins! Second consecutive victory!"

Commentary: "Daohua Middle School's secondary striker is just average. They lost so quickly."

"Tanigawa Junior High School's leader, Fujiwara Haru, wins! Three consecutive victories!"

Commentary: "The backbone of Daohua Middle School is also so weak? Something is wrong..."

"Tanigawa Junior High School's leader, Fujiwara Haru, wins! Four consecutive victories!"

The comments saying Fujiwara Harukatsu was unfair began to decrease rapidly, and gradually, more hesitant sentences appeared: "No way?"

Many people who watched the live broadcast were just there for fun, unable to gauge the team's level based on previous matches. So, they wondered, "Is this Tanigawa Junior High School player just a decoration? Is he really that strong?"

Commentary: "It's going to be a general vs. general match soon? He's not going to pull off a 1v5 comeback, is he? Is he that powerful?"

During the competition, Fujiwara Haru was unaware of the discussions of the audience outside the venue. He just stood there, quietly waiting for his final opponent to come on stage.

The host of the live broadcast room said excitedly: "Next, Fujiwara Haru will face the leader of Daohua Middle School, the only talented player in the junior high school who has reached the third degree of kendo, Ryuka Urushihara!"

"Game start!"

Fujiwara Haru looked at his opponent quietly. He had heard from Kanzaki that the general on the opposite side was at the level of third dan last summer.

Is the level of a third-degree kendo master that impressive? Fujiwara Haru, who hadn't taken the test yet, wasn't sure what a third-degree master level was, nor was he sure what level he was at at the moment.

He only knew to treat it with caution and use his full strength!

Therefore, he was in a very calm state of mind, simple and straightforward, just like usual, after a strong roar, he took a step forward and swung his sword.

But this time he was blocked, so he lifted up the bamboo sword lightly, shouted again in an instant, and swung the sword!

Bang, hit the face.

Was there any difference from his previous opponents? Fujiwara Haru didn't feel it, it was just a slight block. One strike or two strikes, both were equally easy.

The referee raises the flag and the score is valid.

The two separated, bowed and adjusted their breathing, and then started the second round again.

After leaving the counterattack range, I could feel that my opponent had become more cautious. He placed the bamboo sword in the middle in front of him, adopted a very comprehensive mid-section stance, and his whole body entered the counterattack state.

Fujiwara Haru, who had been on the offensive, was not impatient, but also switched to the middle section. With the sound of the bamboo swords colliding, the two bamboo swords collided in the center.

Fujiwara Haru retreated half a step and when he adjusted his posture and exposed his flaw, he stabbed him from the side and stabbed his throat!

The duel between the two was very simple, so simple that it only had three steps: test, fight, separate, test again, fight, separate.

But every blow hits a vital spot, every blow is made with full strength, and every time, Fujiwara Haru can score.

The referee raised the flag again, score!

The livestream room had fallen silent, the male host's face filled with disbelief. "Tanigawa Junior High School's star player, Fujiwara Haru... wins! Just like before, scoring two points in a row, a crushing victory, a comeback victory and a fifth consecutive victory!"

Hoshino Clara was excited: "Fujiwara-kun completed a comeback! He single-handedly defeated the favorite to win the championship! With his own strength, he reversed the outcome of the entire game! So powerful! So powerful!"

The male host was very upset. "Wait a minute, Hoshino-san, calm down, calm down. Why are you suddenly yelling at Fujiwara-kun again?"

Hoshino Clara said as if it was a matter of course: "I am now a fan of Fujiwara-kun! So cool! The comeback is so cool!"

At the competition site, Fujiwara Haru left the venue and returned to the team. After high-fiving everyone, he handed the bamboo sword to Kanzaki Sama.

Kanzaki Sama stood up and hugged him: "Fujiwara...thank you!"

"Ah."

She hugged him back and patted his shoulder gently. After they separated, Fujiwara Haru sat back in his general seat.

The male host captured this scene and sighed: "The youthful energy is as vigorous as a rainbow, stepping onto the field to show his heroic spirit, fighting one against five and returning victorious. How handsome!"

After expressing his feelings, the host continued: "Okay, let's take a look at the next group of games."

The live broadcast room returned to normal, and online discussions began to explode.

The record-breaking 15-game winning streak for two players, the ultimate showdown between the two pioneers, the epic 19-game winning streak, and the final 1V5 Jedi comeback, everything was so exciting.

Comments: "Amazing! I didn't expect that he could beat the favorite to win the championship alone. Fujiwara Haru is really amazing! From now on, I am also his fan!"

Commentary: "Playing as a vanguard in the first game gave him a slight advantage, but he has the skills to win even without that advantage. He also tried his best to give his opponent time to recover. Whether it's martial arts spirit or his own strength, he's an excellent player."

"That's all there is to it. I don't see what's so great about it. They just took advantage of the other team's carelessness. Once Daohua Middle School wins the rematch, they'll definitely not win if they're too cautious."

Commentary: "Hey, hey, you're being too stubborn! They're one against five. Did you bet on Daohua Middle School to win the championship?"

"Daohua Middle School only suffered a minor defeat. They will definitely win the final the day after tomorrow!"

People were discussing and talking, and became more concerned about this year's Jade Dragon Flag Competition.

On the second day of the junior high school boys' team competition, Fujiwara Haru was reading a book on the side. It was not his turn to play today, and his teammates had already taken care of the opponents.

Hoshino Clara: "After the resurrection match, Daohua Middle School returned to the fifth round. The teams that advanced today are Tanigawa Middle School and Ohara Middle School..."

The third day of the junior high school boys' team competition.

Hoshino Clara: "Today's finals, Daohua Middle School vs. Tanigawa Middle School! Can Daohua Middle School's players adjust their form and avenge their previous defeat? The first match, Pioneer vs. Pioneer!"

Three minutes later.

"The vanguard of Doka Middle School, Heiji Hattori, wins!"

The number of viewers for the final skyrocketed again. On the live broadcast, the pioneers from Daohua Middle School once again won four games in a row.

The staff began to call out, "Please invite the senior from Tanigawa Junior High School, Fujiwara Haru, to enter."

After repeating this four times, at the very last moment of the last minute, after being given ample time to recover, Fujiwara Haru entered the ring.

The two men saluted and the game began.

In the live broadcast room, Hoshino Clara looked at the male host and said: "By the way, this scene looks familiar."

Male host: "It seems familiar."

A few minutes later, Hoshino Clara's face was filled with excitement: "The general of Tanigawa Junior High School, Fujiwara Haru, has won!"

Male host: "Today, Heiji Hattori only fought four people. He should be in perfect condition after warming up physically. But just now, after a good rest, he was defeated again. This is enough to show that Fujiwara Haru is extremely strong!"

"I feel sorry for Daohua Middle School's second forward and center backs. They could have shined in this competition, but unfortunately, they ran into Fujiwara Haru, which prevented them from performing well."

Ten minutes later: "Tanigawa Junior High School's general, Fujiwara Haru, wins! 9th consecutive win!"

The male host's face was solemn. "Next up is Daohua Junior High's star player, Ryuka Urushihara. After his previous defeat, he'll definitely be more cautious. Meanwhile, Fujiwara Haru has defeated four opponents in a row, and their morale is high. Both of them are in top form this time, so it's going to be exciting!"

Hoshino Clara was thrilled: "Even if I watched it again, I was still super excited! The thrill of a Jedi comeback is so cool!"

The male host sighed to his amateur companions and, to make the livestream more interesting, began to argue: "Actually, Fujiwara Haru might still be able to pull off a 1v5 comeback. Based on my observations over the past two days, Daohua Junior High's star player, Ryuka Urushihara, has improved again. And with the experience of our previous match, I think he can win this time."

Hoshino Clara: "It doesn't matter, Fujiwara-kun will win."

"The final battle is about to begin, let's get back to the competition!"

Inside the competition venue, Fujiwara Haru stood quietly, breathing steadily, bamboo sword in hand, eyes fixed only on his opponent.

The moment the referee raised his hand to signal the start of the game, these distracting thoughts disappeared from his mind.

There is only one goal left: win the game!

He came to participate in the Yulong Flag Competition not to leave any regrets. His goal has always been clear: to become the champion of the National Kendo Competition!

He held the bamboo sword tightly with both hands, and while rushing forward, he noticed that the opponent's bamboo sword was coming from below. His strong body control ability allowed him to stop abruptly, and then at the moment when the opponent's bamboo sword swung in the air, he chopped down, aiming at the face!

In a kendo competition, there is never a competition of special moves. It is all about simple chops and stabs. If you can defeat the enemy with one blow, you will never hold back!

Score!

Ryuka Urushihara stood quietly in the middle of the venue, looking at his hands in confusion. He couldn't understand why he was so fragile.

He was clearly a gifted young man in everyone's eyes, having passed the third-degree kendo exam at a young age. But just now, he was easily defeated by his opponent.

In the past, he was at the kendo gym every day... In the past, the admiring faces of his fellow disciples... In the past, when he faced off against his master...

Fujiwara Haru didn't move. He could see that his opponent was not in good condition, so he waited quietly for a moment.

Dozens of seconds later, the opponent clenched the bamboo sword in his hand again, and his momentum rose!

Ryuka Urushihara, full of awareness! He has become even stronger!

They saluted, stood up, and both stepped forward with all their might!

The opponent was like a monster. Whether it was strength, speed or reaction, he was too strong. He could tell in an instant of collision that he was no match at all.

But even so, after failing once, Ryuka Urushihara, who reached the finals, still wanted to hit the target! He also wanted to score points to prove his strength!

He decided not to defend anymore, but to attack!

In the upper right section, he rushed forward quickly. After blocking the first sword, Ryukawa Urushihara again blocked the second sword's attack. However, at the moment when the bamboo sword was retracted, he raised his hand and swung it down again, and he saw that his mask had sunken.

His opponent, Fujiwara Haru, used tremendous strength and speed, and extremely smooth kendo skills, and defeated him again with three moves, destroying his mask at the same time!

The referee raised the flag to indicate a score.

Fujiwara Haru scored 2 points in a row, just like always.

The game was over. After the referee's announcement, Fujiwara Haru, who was about to leave, found that Ryuka Urushihara was standing there without moving.

"are you OK."

Ryuka Urushihara looked at his opponent and came to his senses. Now was not the time to be dazed. This was the national finals. He had lost. If he was dazed for any longer, it would be very bad.

He looked at Fujiwara Haru and said, "You are very strong. I will become even stronger and challenge you again next year!"

Fujiwara Haru didn't know how to say it without sounding condescending, so he simply agreed: "Okay."

The final is over.

Ryuka Urushihara watched Fujiwara Haru take off his helmet as he walked away, and memorized his face.

There was still plenty of time left for the High School Jade Dragon Flag Competition. He would practice hard and challenge again. One day, he would defeat him!

All the competitions of Yulong Banner Junior High School came to an end. On the live broadcast, the team from Tanigawa Middle School walked to the podium.

Hoshino Clara was excited: "Let's congratulate! The champion of the 36th Junior High School Yulong Banner! Fujiwara Haru!"

The male host complained, "Hey, don't say that. The 36th Junior High School Yulong Banner Champion should be Tanigawa Junior High School."

Hoshino Clara came to her senses and realized that her statement was wrong, feeling a little embarrassed: "Oh yes, the champion is Tanigawa Junior High School!"

The live broadcast room was once again filled with comments.

Comments: "Amazing! Two 1v5 victories! I was just watching to kill time, but I didn't expect this year's competition to be so exciting."

Comment: "I think what Hoshino-san said is correct. The champion of this junior high school Jade Dragon Flag Championship is Fujiwara Haru! He can win it all by himself."

Commentary: "Don't brag blindly. Without teammates helping clear the mess in the front, it's hard for a general to win 30 or 40 games in a row."

"That's all I think. I still feel Daohua Middle School deserved to win. They were quite strong overall, but they lost because of one opponent. It's really unfair to them."

Comment: "Shut up, don't be so stubborn if you lost. Kendo competitions are based on the rule that a single strong player can lead the whole team to victory. It's unfair when you say that."
