I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke grabbed his opponent's arms with both hands and yanked them to the sides.

The next second, his knee slammed into his opponent's chest like a battering ram!

With equal skill, the stronger one wins.

kill! ! !

Chapter 238 Two-Person Declaration of War

[Defeat Kuno Maruko (Dynamic Matchmaking), Rewards Issued]

[Victory Rewards: Throwing Technique Level +5 (First Win Only), Ground Technique Level +10 (First Win Only)]

[Virtual Trial Ends]

......

Early in the morning, Sosuke sat up in bed with a smile on his face.

He immediately opened his panel and looked at the level of his protective skills, which was of most concern to him.

【拥有护身术1：柔道（+5）——投技19，当身技15，寝技31】

【拥有护身术2：剑道（+5）——念流17，神道流14，阴流14】

【拥有护身术3：忍法（+5）——身法15，忍具使用15，毒术15】

Wuhu!

Sure enough, the levels of throwing and ground techniques in judo have increased.

In particular, after his sleeping skills increased by "10", he went straight to "31". According to Sosuke's assessment, having a self-defense level of "30" is basically enough to confirm that he has officially reached the "ultimate" level!

This also means that even without using any system skills, he can still fight many of the fierce opponents he had previously struggled against, relying solely on this level of protective magic.

The only downside is that ground fighting, which is a pure form of grappling, joint lock, and brace, is somewhat difficult to drag into ground combat against a standing expert of the same caliber.

Unlike ordinary people's battles, superhumans of the ferocity level and above have extra dynamic vision and reflex speed. Once their opponents know that they are experts in grappling techniques, they will definitely be deliberately kept at a distance to avoid close contact.

This can lead to a situation where one either "enters the ground and instantly kills the opponent" or "cannot enter the ground and is at a disadvantage compared to the opponent."

Sosuke, however, was not anxious about this.

After all, he still has so many system skills as his trump cards.

Sosuke stretched comfortably, then got out of bed, washed up, and left the room to go downstairs.

Then they saw the widow and the kendo girl who had prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

"Good morning, Kuno-nee, Motoko." He sat down at the dining table without asking. "Where is the others?"

"She's not up yet~" Kuno Maruko was dressed casually with an apron over her clothes. Her curvaceous figure made Sousuke involuntarily think of the future image of her he had seen during the virtual trial last night.

A blood-red kimono, an even more outrageous figure, and seductive makeup...

To be honest, after escaping the pressure of battle, the image of the widow in the future was something that Atobe Sousuke couldn't forget.

I wonder how many years later that corresponds to Kuno-nee. She doesn't seem to have aged much.

Next, let's go buy a similar kimono for Kuno-nee...

Sosuke couldn't help but lick his lips.

Now that things have come to this, I have to admit that he is a pervert.

At this moment, Motoko Itako also came out of the kitchen and sat down. Then, Kuno Maruko said, "Today is the opening ceremony of the National Kendo Tournament. There are no matches, so only the two of us need to show up. The others don't need to come along."

"I see. So where are you planning to go?" Sosuke nodded and then looked at the widow.

Kuno Maruko smiled gently: "We discussed it last night and decided to go to a few shopping districts in the city, like Tanukikoji Street and Sapporo TV Tower."

"So, while I was sleeping soundly on the third floor last night, you guys were all discussing where to go next?"

Sosuke raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sleeping too," the kendo girl replied casually.

The widow smiled sheepishly, "We rarely come here, so we were all quite excited. We partied until after 11 p.m. last night."

Okay, no wonder they haven't gotten up yet.

Soon, Sosuke and Motoko finished their breakfast, grabbed their gear, and went out together.

......

Hokkaido Prefectural Gymnasium.

As Sosuke walked from outside the stadium into the stadium, he felt that the stadium looked very familiar.

Then, he stood in the student formation with his Kendo teammates from Hefeng, listening to the incredibly boring opening ceremony speeches while carefully reviewing the memories in his mind.

After thinking it over carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that this stadium was the same one where the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated an African team 3-0 in 2019, securing their eighth consecutive victory in the World Cup.

No need to say more, the women's volleyball team is awesome!

Sosuke finished his search of memories, and not long after, the opening ceremony, which made everyone want to doze off, finally came to an end.

The student contingent, comprised of nearly sixty university kendo teams, also left the venue in an orderly manner under the instructions of the organizers.

Unlike the Yulongqi competition, the national competition is a preliminary selection process, and no more than three teams from each county can qualify.

In fact, most counties can only have one team from their strongest university participating in the national competition.

Tokyo was able to select three teams to participate because of its unique city size and status.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Sosuke followed the troops as they prepared to leave the stadium, only to be suddenly intercepted.

And it's not just one team.

The elegant and handsome Yagyu Tsukumo.

Tsukahara Soichiro, a man of rugged and bold spirit.

The two of them, along with their respective teams, appeared before Atobe Sousuke.

"Oh, it's you two!" Sosuke still remembered the two of them well, and he raised his hand to greet them.

"Atobe-kun, we meet again." Yagyu smiled slightly at him and nodded.

Tsukamoto became much more relaxed, and he raised his hand towards Sousuke: "This time I have another chance to fight you, and I will definitely avenge my previous defeat."

"Then you'd better work hard. After all, my swordsmanship has improved quite a bit in just a few days." Sousuke smiled calmly, then looked around. "Speaking of which, you two have both come to participate. Where's Okita?"

Yagyu Tsukumo said softly, "I contacted him, and he said he didn't register for the national competition at all, and he only participated in the Jade Dragon Flag competition on a whim."

Then, Yagyu Tsukumo also said earnestly to Atobe Sousuke, "It has always been my regret that I was unable to fight you on the Jade Dragon Banner. I hope to have a good match with you this time."

Sosuke said no more; he simply smiled and nodded.

And so, the two strongest kendo players in this national tournament jointly declared war on Sousuke.

Unfortunately, despite their strong fighting spirit, they could not change the established facts.

three days later.

The final of the kendo tournament was held under the spotlight of thousands of people.

Sousuke, as the captain, fought with a simple lunge and slash, sending Tsukahara Soichiro flying.

And before that, he had already used the same ultimate move to cut down the fiercely fighting Yagyu Tsukumo.

......

Chapter 239

The sword technique that defeated Yagyu and Tsukahara is called "Yagami Heavy Slash".

It's the new SR-level sword skill he acquired earlier.

The move was just an ordinary bow stance slash, lacking the infallible strike of the Wuxiang Sword, the lightning speed of the Three-Stage Thrust, and the unpredictability of the Swallow Return.

His only characteristic is his great power.

With a single slash, the person and the sword can be sent flying together.

Thus, the national kendo tournament came to an end with Sousuke's effortless performance.

He led Hefeng High School to an easy victory in the men's kendo team competition.

Wu Fang Suzi was even more invincible, defeating all opponents along the way and winning the individual championship.

The president of the kendo club, Tenkoji, couldn't stop smiling.

The only thing that Tenkoji felt was a little disappointed was when he learned of Sousuke's kendo skills and recruited him into the kendo club.

The regional qualifiers for the national competition have already concluded.

Therefore, even though Sousuke's strength is overwhelmingly superior, he is unable to participate in the individual competition.

The closing ceremony followed seamlessly after the final.

With the strong encouragement of the head of Tenkoji Temple, Atobe Sousuke went on stage to participate in the award ceremony.

Even with the air conditioning off, the summer heat gradually seeped into the venue.

Sosuke stood on the stage, holding the trophy, looking down at the many high school students below who were looking at him with admiration and excitement.

I couldn't help but sigh softly.

After frying fish too much, it actually gets quite boring.

This national competition is probably the penultimate competition he's participated in for ordinary people.

That evening, Sosuke and Motoko Itsuka, along with their comrades from the Tsurumine Kendo Club, went out for a lavish victory celebration.

However, in such a public place, although everyone was in high spirits, no one dared to drink alcohol.

***

After the banquet, Atobe Sousuke and Itamoto Motoko bid farewell to the members of the kendo club.

They watched as Tenkoji and the others disappeared around the corner of the street.

The kendo girl suddenly turned to look at Sousuke: "Master, was that powerful slash you used today another new signature move?"

Looking at the girl's longing eyes, Sousuke couldn't help but smile and tease her: "Actually, this is just an ordinary Kesa-giri."

"Impossible, the way you generate power and the details of the movements are completely different." The kendo girl shook her head and said decisively, "Teach me this move!"

"Teaching is no problem, but I want..."

Sousuke looked at the kendo girl's cool face, her slender neck, and the high ponytail on the back of her head that looked particularly striking.

I couldn't resist taking her little hand and whispering something in her ear.

Upon hearing this, the kendo girl's face slowly flushed a startling red, and she lowered her head in silence.

'As long as you don't rush to refute, that's tantamount to agreeing.'

Seeing this, Sosuke's smile widened, and he simply grabbed her hand and turned to walk into the dimly lit alley.

......

The narrow alley is a passage between two bright and shiny buildings. It is clear that it is usually cleaned, unlike those dark alleys that are filthy and have all sorts of strange garbage smells.

By the light refracted by the neon lights outside, two figures could be seen pressed tightly together deep in the dim alley.

Sousuke took the kendo girl's hands and placed them on his shoulders, then whispered something in her soft earlobe.

"Motoko, how about a victory kiss to celebrate our victory in the national tournament?"

Motoko Goka instinctively turned her face away, not daring to answer Sosuke's question at all.

(//▼/へ//▼//)

The next moment, her delicate chin fell between Sosuke's thumb and forefinger, and Sosuke gently applied force to turn her face back.

Then, amidst the increasingly rapid breathing of the kendo girl, Sousuke lowered his head slightly and gently pecked her thin, soft lips.

Their lips met, and as if a switch had been flipped by Sousuke, the kendo girl's hands, which had been resting on Sousuke's shoulders, naturally wrapped around his neck.

Sosuke, who was enjoying the girl's soft and delicious taste, couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
