Kamiya Xue couldn't figure out the whereabouts of "Wulu", but the Kuixing Flag Competition was still going on in an orderly manner.
In the second game, the private Shinjian School team faced regular visitors to the Kuixing Banner Competition. Regular visitors meant that the strength of the opposing team was not simple. It would not be a problem to add a "strong kendo school" to the school's external recruitment declaration, but it also meant that The opponent's strength is very transparent, and most players know their strength thoroughly.
After knowing the strength of the opponent, Busujima Saeko made arrangements and released two substitute players to play in the vanguard battle and the secondary peak battle, so that they can feel the atmosphere of the competition and warm up for next year's competition. This is also the reason why the team must lead three players. The reason for this is that he is an obviously weak first-year student.
As for why the entire main lineup was sent out in the first game even though the team was obviously weaker, there were two reasons. First, it was because it was the first time for the opposing team to participate in the competition. Busushima Saeko was not sure whether the opponent was a dark horse. Of course, he tried his best to It is the safest way to go. Over the years, there are many strong teams that have underestimated their opponents in the first round of the competition. The private Shenma School is experienced and will not make such a mistake.
Secondly, in order to build momentum, get the upper hand in the first battle by shaving the opponent's head first to let other teams know that they are not easy to mess with. This is very beneficial to improving the team's confidence.
After the Kuixing Banner Competition officially started, although the players from the private Shenjian School were still laughing and joking, it was impossible not to be nervous. They urgently needed an overwhelming victory to build up their confidence. Unfortunately, in the first game, The team they encountered fell victim to it.
But again, they don't deserve sympathy. In martial arts competition, food is the original sin. There's nothing to say. Busujima Saeko can't have any psychological burden on the opponent's team.
You know, Busujima Saeko was evaluated by Yan Kai as "two points of evil spirit on the outside and seven points of evil spirit on the inside". It is impossible to be soft-hearted. Her heart is actually very hard and she is very decisive in doing things.
In the past, she showed kindness because she regarded Yan Kai, Kasumigaoka Shiu and others as friends and one of her own. Of course she has a good temper, but when facing competition opponents, her attitude will appear a bit cold and defeated. The opponent's methods will also become merciless.
After the opponent for the second game was determined, Busujima Saeko knew the composition of the opponent's team as soon as he saw it. It was almost the same as the previous competition. Although Busujima Saeko had not played against them in the previous competition, she had also watched them. After their competition, to be arrogant, she could beat five by herself. No, adding the three reserve players, she could beat eight by herself. And this year, there are at least two people in the team who are as strong as she was a year ago. How can this boat capsize if she is added to the team? How did this boat capsize?
It can be said that as long as this team does not take banned drugs, otherwise they will not be able to make waves in front of the private Kamima School, so Busujima Saeko is very relieved to put two substitutes on, even if the two substitutes overturn, there will be no success. She led the two strongest main players to reverse the situation for them, so Busujima Saeko arranged such a game lineup.
In Japan, kendo is also called "little art of war", and strategic layout is a very important part. This is reflected in the very famous "Battle of Ganliu Island" between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.
There are many versions of the story of the "Battle of Ganliu Island". No one can provide evidence to prove that the version they heard is history and fact, but this is the version that is generally circulated the most.
Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro agreed to duel on Ganliu Island (then called Kokura Island). The date and location were set, but Miyamoto Musashi deliberately did not specify the exact time, leaving Sasaki Kojiro to wait for a full afternoon until the sun was approaching. Miyamoto Musashi only appeared at the duel site when the mountain was setting. Miyamoto Musashi, who was waiting for work, took advantage of Sasaki Kojiro's impatience to defeat Sasaki Kojiro, thus leaping from an unknown boy to a famous swordsman in Japan, leaving a mark in the history of Japan. He made a strong mark, and he is still a great swordsman who is talked about by the Japanese people until now.
Although Miyamoto Musashi's shameless behavior seems shameless to Yan Kai, in the eyes of the Japanese, it seems to be a proficient use of the art of war, which is highly respected by the Japanese people. In order to incorporate the elements of the art of war into the kendo competition, Kuixingqi The order of players from each team in the competition is not fixed and can be changed at the beginning of each game.
Guessing the opponent's order of competition, arranging players to restrain the opponent, or using the "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy to use the "lower horse" in the team to exchange the opponent's "higher horse", this is a test for both sides. Psychology, vision and strategy can also be regarded as the highlights of the Kuixing Banner Competition.
Although this kind of trick is completely useless to the real strong ones, for example, Beiwang High School, the five main candidates are all swordsman-level swordsman masters, and they can crush the other teams in all directions, so how can the other teams use it? Plot? What other tricks are they using?
However, this can be regarded as a side explanation. The real way to win every battle is not a marching formation or a cunning plan, but "strong soldiers and strong horses" to overwhelm others with force!
Yan Kai sat bored in the front row of the auditorium, with Kasumigaoka Shiyu sitting on his left, and Tiayu holding Eve on his right. At first glance, people around thought that Yan Kai was hugging him from the left to the right. They were still holding one big and one small, and they were all envious of Yan Kai...ah, no, they were itching their teeth with hatred and desperately cursing Yan Kai's kidney deficiency.
Mikado Ryoko was not in the audience. As the accompanying doctor, she was on standby in the medical room at this time, so that she could go to the hospital for first aid when a player on her team was injured. As the team leader, Kitayama Anki was of course sitting in the player seat. I was watching a show from a close distance, but from the look of her, she seemed as bored as Yan Kai.
This is of course, as the top among the supreme masters, Kitayama Xingyi's feeling when watching these immature girl swordsmen fighting is exactly what Yan Kai said before about watching "monkeys fighting each other". The fact that she didn't start yawning directly was an affirmation that they were doing their best to celebrate their youth.
The tempo of the kendo competition was very fast, and after a short time, the competition once again entered the finals.
Unlike judo and karate, where fights often lead to stalemates, kendo matches are often won or lost within a few minutes.
The main reason is that before swordsmen reach the realm of swordsmen, they have always been creatures with high attack sensitivity but low defense, low health and poor endurance. Compared with boxers who have rough skin and thick flesh and can be beaten for more than an hour... Oh, forget it. , still no comparison, except for the etiquette part of the competition, the official competition part will basically not exceed one "lot", and most of them may not even have one "dong".
In short, in a kendo competition, because there is no protection from protective gear, being hit in the body by a wooden sword is basically equivalent to being eliminated.
The lethality of a wooden sword is indeed not as good as a real sword, but being hit by a wooden sword swung at high speed, even if it is only in relatively less fatal places such as the arms and thighs, is enough for the person hit to lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time, or lose most of it. In terms of the format of the game, it is enough to judge the outcome.
Comparatively speaking, the competition between karate and judo is still indistinguishable.
Because of the thick-skinned nature of boxers, a single round of karate and judo matches is likely to take a lot of time. After all, in this kind of empty-handed fighting match, unless there is a huge difference in strength between the two parties, it is difficult to achieve a one-hit kill. The situation, and boxers are famous for their endurance. If the strength of the two sides is not much different, it is easy to reach a deadlock and consume a lot of time.
Therefore, during official competitions, unarmed fighting competitions such as karate and judo use a scoring system. Each effective damage caused to an opponent's player counts as one point, and the first player to accumulate five points is declared the winner.
This reform of the competition system finally made the long and smelly karate and judo competitions relatively smooth, but it also gave birth to a lot of "technical victories", that is, using various tricks to promote effective attacks, but in fact this This kind of attack can only scratch the opponent's skin, causing the weaker party to "defeat" the stronger party.
There is a bit of a gap between victory and defeat. Because of this, the competition between karate and judo has always been criticized by people. It also makes people feel that the competition between karate and judo is not as intense and exciting as the kendo competition. This makes the popularity of kendo competitions always exceed that of karate and judo. The competition is the undisputed number one martial arts event in Japan.
However, I heard that the Wushu Association is going to reform the competition system of karate and judo competitions recently, but we can only wait and see whether the losers in the Wushu Association can make the competitions more exciting. Some people have no hope. After all, the Japan Wushu Association has not accomplished many things.
The end time of the five rounds of a kendo match is usually about half an hour, and rarely exceeds one hour, so the time interval between the two matches is set to two hours, because under normal circumstances, two hours The time is enough for the participating teams to complete the game and rest and recover to a state ready to compete again. If they are injured, that is naturally a different matter, but it should be no problem just to recover their physical strength.
During the preparations for the general round, Busujima Saeko walked onto the playing field and looked at her opponent about three meters apart. Behind her, four bright red flags stood on the player bench of the private Kamama school team. The bright red pierced the The opponent's general's eyes became numb for a while.
In every game in the Kuixing Banner Competition, if any team wins one of the five games, a red flag will be erected in the direction of the winning team's player bench. Four red flags means that the team from the Private Divine School has won in advance. After the game, their team had already lost, and had lost all four games. Now they were standing on the field not fighting for victory, but to maintain their last shred of dignity.
She could choose to surrender. When facing an opponent with a huge gap, surrendering was not shameful, but she was unwilling to do so! She was unwilling to surrender to the opponent before the match even started. Even if the opponent was the prestigious Busujima Saeko, a talented swordswoman who won the "Best Rookie Award" for the first time in the Kusei Banner Tournament last year, she was still very unwilling to do so. , so she must continue the fight.
Unlike the opponent who was full of reluctance, Busujima Saeko was very calm, no, looked at the opponent general indifferently.
The victory in the Vanguard Battle and the Second Peak Battle was an unexpected surprise for Busujima Saeko, but it was not completely unexpected.
Although the strength of the two substitute players is not small compared to that of the main candidates, they were selected to participate in the Kuixing Banner Competition among the kendo club of the private Shinjen School with many masters. This is an affirmation of their strength and potential. As the backbone of future competitions, this competition is for them to grow.
After the two substitutes stepped onto the playing field, because they had no worries, they were able to perform beyond their level. Although they experienced a hard battle, they defeated the third-year players on the opposite side and beautifully completed their performance in Kuixingqi. The first battle of the competition.
When the referee announced the start of the game, her opponent rushed forward quickly. She was rashly advancing, but if she hadn't been rashly advancing, she might not even have a chance to show off her moves.
In addition to Hokuoh High School, in terms of personal martial arts, Busujima Saeko is also a formidable existence for today's high school female swordsmen. Facing her, just swinging a sword already requires a lot of courage. If she doesn't take advantage of the momentum at the beginning of the game, If Xinqi makes a move, I'm afraid it will soon collapse without a fight.
The distance of three meters is only a short distance to a swordsman who has been practicing swordsmanship all year round. The opponent's general also put all his strength on this sword, and it was a last-ditch fight. However, Busujima Saeko still looked at the opponent calmly, and the opponent swung out This sword may have been the most powerful and swift sword in the opponent's life, but in Busujima Saeko's view, it was still as slow as a snail.
The gap between swordsmen and swordsmen is not only reflected in strength, speed and skill proficiency, but more importantly, I am afraid that the dynamic vision and reaction speed have been greatly improved.
Swordsmen who have reached the peak of their training can no longer see each other clearly when they move, because their dynamic vision can no longer keep up with their moves, but swordsmen can.
The reaction speed of normal people is between 0.15 seconds and 0.4 seconds. A swordsman who has been practicing for many years can approach his reaction speed to 0.15 seconds, but the reaction speed of a swordsman starts at 0.05 seconds.
The swordsman is far superior to the swordsman in terms of dynamic vision and reaction speed. All the swordsman's actions seem too ridiculous to the swordsman, and all the moves are full of flaws. The swordsman often only needs to make one point. If you use enough force, you can defeat a swordsman who exerts a lot of force.
Between swordsmen and swordsmen, even beginners have records of defeating senior swordsmen, but there has never been a record of swordsmen defeating swordsmen, because the two can almost be regarded as two stages of biological growth, one is infancy, One is adulthood. How can we fight this?
Just like in the first battle before, Busujima Saeko turned her left hand on the blade and easily blocked the opponent's general's sword. At the same time, she probed the handle of the knife and struck the opponent's general's throat like lightning.
The vital part of the throat was hit, and even if Busujima Saeko withdrew her strength, the opponent's general was still completely destroyed and fell to the ground unconscious.
In the second round, the battle between generals, Busujima Saeko wins!
