I teach judo in Tokyo.

With Sousuke's consent, Tenkoji and Gofuku Suko could say nothing more.

Tenkoji felt that Sosuke had given him face and provided him with a way out, and his goodwill towards him increased significantly.

On the other side, Motoko Goka, who had retreated to the sidelines, glanced at Matsuoka, who was still excited, with the eyes of someone looking at a pitiful creature.

Those who overestimate their abilities should bear the consequences themselves.

Then, she changed her target and stared intently at Atobe Sousuke.

If we can figure out this guy's techniques and strategies from this warm-up match, it might give us a better chance of winning.

Soon, the area was cleared, and Atobe Sousuke and the vice-general named Matsuoka faced each other.

"You ignorant fool, you actually have the nerve to bring Wufang's bamboo sword to a duel!" Matsuoka's eyes, hidden behind his mask, were fierce, and his voice was excited. "Let me expose your true colors first!"

Ah, this...

It seems there's nothing to talk about with an idiot.

Sosuke sighed and held up three fingers.

"Three seconds."

"What three seconds? What nonsense are you spouting!" Matsuoka said with a disdainful look.

"The match begins. I'll beat you in three seconds," Sosuke said lazily.

Although he didn't deliberately amplify his voice, he didn't deliberately lower it either, and it spread throughout the entire kendo club arena.

"Om..."

His words were so frightening that they caused an uproar among the students.

Yotsuba Saki and Mifune Yumi knelt side by side in the audience.

Upon hearing Sousuke's words, Yumi Mifune slapped her forehead, utterly speechless: "What is the Normal School doing now? Why set such an easy goal to fail? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they didn't achieve it?"

On the contrary, Yotsuba Saki stared intently at Sousuke in the arena, looking completely at ease.

Unseen by everyone else, Emi sat cross-legged next to Yotsuba Saki, looking directly at Sousuke, who had a composed expression, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"That's pretty direct, isn't it? Sometimes, this guy's actually kind of to my liking!"

Yotsuba Saki turned to look at her: "It seems that Emi also agrees that Sousuke-kun is a very charming person..."

"You're overthinking it. It's just that his arrogant behavior somewhat aligns with my opinion; he's still a very annoying person!"

Emi denied it outright.

......

On the field, Matsuoka, having understood what Sosuke meant, immediately turned red.

He shouted angrily, about to curse someone.

"Silence! Kendo practice is about determining victory or defeat through swordsmanship, not for insulting people!" Tenkoji suddenly shouted, interrupting Matsuoka's spellcasting.

Then he pointed angrily at the classmate who was acting as a referee and was ready to watch the show, and shouted, "Aren't you going to call 'start' yet?!"

The referee hurriedly announced loudly.

"Let the study begin!"

Matsuoka held his breath, and the moment he heard the announcement to begin, he strode forward, intending to finish off Sosuke cleanly and efficiently.

However, just as he started, he was stunned to find that Sosuke was already standing in front of him!

"Noodles!" He subconsciously shouted out the breath he was about to utter two seconds later.

Then, in a rush, he delivered a straight slash.

"Snapped!"

A loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, Matsuoka's bamboo sword was knocked out of his hand.

Immediately afterward, the bamboo knife, which had been released from his hand, spun rapidly in the air.

"noodle!"

With a roar, Sosuke unleashed a merciless downward slash with the bamboo sword he had just parried!

"Oh!"

The explosive force traveled along the rapidly falling bamboo sword and crashed into Matsuoka's head. He was so dizzy from the shock that he staggered back three steps before his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground!

The next second, the bamboo knife fell to the ground beside him with a "thud".

Upon closer inspection, the poor bamboo sword was strangely twisted, clearly bent by Sosuke's sweeping attack!

Sosuke maintained a proper posture and symbolically took a step back, indicating that he had completed the task of Zanshin as required.

Sold out instantly!

A flawless, impeccable noodle-making experience.

Tenkoji and Gofuku suddenly sat up straight, their eyes filled with shock.

The entire room fell silent.

Almost no one was able to react in time.

"Referee, what are you waiting for?" Sosuke casually slung the bamboo sword over his shoulder with one hand and looked at the referee, who was still in a daze, with a smile.

The referee swallowed hard and awkwardly turned to look at Tenkoji Temple outside the field.

Tenkoji shouted, "What are you looking at me for! This is an impeccable script! Announce the results!"

"One! One!" The referee readily complied and raised his little flag high.

Only then did the entire audience snap out of their daze, and a cacophony of exclamations erupted.

Yumi Mifune jumped up and spun around excitedly: "Whoosh! I won! Instant kill! Teacher's College is invincible!"

Yotsuba Saki couldn't help but smile happily.

?(?口?口)?

"That felt so good! That was really satisfying!"

Beside her, Emi suddenly slapped her thigh and gave a domineering smile.

"I don't accept this! It was just a moment of carelessness!" Matsuoka, sitting on the ground, still wanted to shout and make excuses.

"Shut up!" Tenkoji roared. "This is too shameful! He lost and still won't admit it! Drag him away!"

Several members immediately responded, rushing forward to restrain Songgang and forcibly dragging him off the field.

Matsuoka struggled and shouted angrily, knowing he had become the clown and was in a hysterical state, hoping to turn the tables through this method.

However, with several peers holding his hands and feet down, he was almost unable to move and could only lie on the ground, panting heavily, until he gradually calmed down.

Then he began to feel annoyed.

Why did I have such a brain fart and rush up?

He kept questioning himself like this, and at the same time, he knew that after making such a fool of himself, he could no longer expect to hold his head high in front of Wu Fang Su Zi.

Only then did tears of regret flow from her eyes hidden behind the mask.

However, no one cares about him anymore.

On the field, Tenkoji walked up to Sosuke with a helpless expression: "Atobe-kun, I'm sorry to have shown you the ugly side of our club members. I hope it didn't affect your mood."

Sosuke waved his hand dismissively: "Youthful infatuation is understandable."

“Next, I will be the referee.” Tenkoji was pleased with Atobe Sousuke’s generosity, took the two small referee flags, and prepared to witness the competition.

Sosuke smiled and agreed, then turned his head away.

Before him, Motoko Gofuku stood solemnly, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit, her cold gaze clearly visible even through her mask.

"That powerful 'face-to-face' strike just now must have taken a toll on your explosive power, right? To be fair, do you need a break?" the kendo girl asked.

Sosuke smiled and shook his head: "Like I said, what happened just now was at most a 'small warm-up.' Let's get started."

"Okay, let's begin!"

Motoko Gofuku gripped her sword with both hands, adopting a stance rarely seen in kendo competitions.

Hold the sword with both hands beside your face, with the tips pointing forward.

It's somewhat similar to the "Xia-kun" I used last night when I sparred with Sosuke.

Do you want to get up from where you fell down?

Sosuke couldn't help but laugh.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he...

She struck the exact same pose as Motoko Goto!

The two faced each other in silence, and the atmosphere became inexplicably subdued.

"Minister Wufang! Keep it up!"

The sudden cheers ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

Apart from Yotsuba Saki and Mifune Yumi, the entire audience started cheering loudly for Itamoto Motoko!

In Sousuke's eyes, the cheers echoed throughout the entire kendo club.

The swordswoman in front of him had a tag above her head that read "Heavenly Sword".

Like a burning golden flame.

It suddenly lit up!

Chapter 74 Fierce Battle

With the label of Heavenly Sword on his head, Wu Fang Su Zi let out a light shout with overwhelming momentum.

"Atobe-kun, I lost to you one move last night!"

"Today, I will do everything in my power to avenge this humiliation!"

She bent her body slightly, her whole body like a drawn bow.

"No outflow, all are permitted to be transmitted—the Five Directions of the Pure One!"

"I see you!"

After speaking...

She seemed to transform into a blur, shooting directly towards Atobe Sousuke.

In contrast, Sosuke had already completed his preparations and charged out at the same time!

The overwhelming momentum seemed to materialize, leaving the onlookers speechless.

In the noisy kendo dojo, two people clashed violently, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.

The figure stopped abruptly, and the two high-quality bamboo knives came to a halt, their blades locked in a deadlock.

Motoko gritted her teeth and withstood Sosuke's terrifying power.

Sosuke's face was hidden behind the bamboo sword. As he pressed forward, he leaned in, and at such close range, the two could even see each other's faces in the shadows beneath their visors.

Unlike the struggling Motoko Goto, Sosuke remained calm despite the contest.

He admired that Motoko possessed strength comparable to that of a strong man her age, but this did not deter him from using his own methods to dampen her fighting spirit.

He then took another step forward, revealing a wild smile, and said, "Your strength is in no way inferior to that of men; you are indeed qualified to be my disciple!"

The next second, he roared and exerted his strength, actually pushing Wu Fang Suzi forward several steps!

Under the terrifying power of Atobe Sousuke, Motoko Gofuku was completely unable to break free from the entanglement state and was forced to retreat, her stance on the verge of collapse.

"The exchange has exceeded the time limit. Separate immediately!" Tenkoji's voice rang out.

As he announced it, an excited expression appeared on his face.

After fighting against Motoko Itō at full power today, he fully understands how terrifying her strength, which is no less than that of a man, and her unparalleled swordsmanship skills are.

Although the final result appeared to be a draw, he felt that if they were to actually fight, he would definitely be the one to be cut down by his opponent.
