The men's game ended, and the women's game next door also ended its final round. Busujima Saeko once again knocked down her opponent, a first-year girl from Seven Star High School, with only the hilt of her sword.
Stubbornness and unwillingness flashed in the little girl's eyes, but again, there was only victory or defeat in the martial arts competition, and there was no mercy. She didn't care what the story behind the little girl was or what kind of burden she was carrying. She couldn't defeat her. , then just go and lose!
Perhaps the biggest difference between Busujima Saeko and those truly gentle women is that she has no extra sympathy.
If those women were truly gentle in their hearts, they would definitely step forward to help the little girl up and then comfort her softly.
But in Busujima Saeko's concept, there is no such option at all. The winner's pity is humiliating to the loser. She will not humiliate the loser. In other words, she will not comfort the little girl.
However, this little girl's swordsmanship is really good, and she is a bit better than the main players in her team. Her biggest shortcoming is that her internal strength is impure, as she spends a lot of time practicing swordsmanship moves and neglects them. The practice of internal strength.
This is a mistake that many young swordsmen make. Learning powerful and novel moves can often quickly improve a swordsman's actual combat ability in a short period of time. It may only take ten days and a half months or even a few days to significantly improve a swordsman's strength. , to help the swordsman defeat opponents that he could not defeat before.
Investing a lot in training on moves before a game is also a common tactic used by various teams to "sharpen their guns before the battle."
In contrast, the practice of internal strength is very boring and boring. In the early stages of practice, there are often no significant results even for several months. The younger and more active young people are, the harder it is to hold back their temper and waste time. Regarding the practice of internal strength, but the practice of internal strength must be accumulated over time in order to bear fruit. Unless you are the kind of destiny protagonist or the child of luck, you will be surrounded by Tianshan snow lotus, thousand-year ginseng, ten thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum, etc. If a rare medicine is available, no one would be able to have deep inner strength at such a young age.
But the cultivation of internal strength is the most important course for warriors. The reason why warriors have superhuman abilities does not lie in how strong their physical fitness is, nor in how superb their skills are. It is just that if they are physically strong and skilled, many athletes can also do it. , but warriors can distinguish themselves from athletes, possess all kinds of incredible abilities, and become monster-like existences that surpass the physical peak of athletes. In the final analysis, it lies in warriors' mastery of internal strength, which is difficult to explain clearly and systematically summarize with modern science. strength.
In the early stages of martial arts training, spending a lot of time on the practice of moves can be fun for a while, but later on, the gap between the level of internal strength and other swordsmen will widen, and it will be very difficult to catch up.
A common sense recognized in today's martial arts circles is that the foundation of internal strength must be laid in adolescence or youth. Otherwise, when the meridians become rigid with age, it will be difficult to develop internal strength.
This little girl doesn't practice inner palace well now, and spends a lot of time on swordsmanship moves. Although she has strong practical ability in a short period of time, it is actually very detrimental to her future development.
But these are not the reasons why Busujima Saeko pays more attention to this little girl named Kurogane Ju Shizuku.
"This trick looks a bit familiar..."
Busujima Saeko murmured.
Kurogane Jushizuku is probably the strongest opponent she has encountered in the past two days. She didn't formally use the sword, but she couldn't take her down immediately with just the hilt, which gave her an opportunity to perform several sword moves in succession. Although Busujima Saeko dodged them one by one and quickly knocked them down after figuring out the routine, the somewhat familiar moves made Busujima Saeko doubtful.
Black Iron, in the Japanese martial arts world for nearly thirty years, no famous school is related to this family? Similarly, there is no famous swordsman named "Black Iron", but this swordsmanship does look like the handiwork of a famous master, at least there are traces of the famous master.
Perhaps it was the swordsmanship that was lost during the turmoil in the Japanese martial arts world that my father did not want to mention more than thirty years ago. In recent years, it has been restored and reproduced by its descendants. There are several inconsistencies in this swordsmanship. It must be that part of it was lost and later generations repaired it.
Young Busujima Saeko thought about it and could only come up with this explanation.
More than eighty years ago, the Black Iron Family, led by Black Iron Ryoma, went to the battlefield of the Central Plains to help the then notorious Kwantung Army fight against the Central Plains martial arts people. As a result, Black Iron Ryoma died in the battle, and the elites of the Black Iron Family were all bereft. A large part of his swordsmanship was also lost. In the following eighty years, although descendants worked hard to repair it, it was still far less majestic than the original swordsmanship of the year. The heavy sword moves but less swordsmanship were different from those more than eighty years ago. The swordsmanship of the Kurogane family is completely different.
Busujima Saeko felt that this swordsmanship was familiar because of the martial arts notebook that Yan Kai gave her when they first met. It recorded the essence of the Kurogane family's swordsmanship. However, when copying it, Yan Kai deliberately The nouns about the various schools mentioned in the notes were omitted, so Busujima Saeko was only familiar with Kurottetsu Shizuku's swordsmanship, but failed to compare the surname "Kurotetsu" with the essence of the swordsmanship in the notes. together.
The main reason why Yan Kai concealed the names of relevant schools in the martial arts notes was because he was afraid that Busujima Saeko would feel uncomfortable while reading.
For example, one of the original passages in the notes is like this.
"On X, month, XX, the leader of the Zhandu Island sect, Busuda Yifu, came to Lin'an. Busuda's moves were spicy and murderous. His swordsmanship was quite unique, and his essence can be absorbed to enhance his swordsmanship.
The Essentials of Swordsmanship...
He was defeated in two moves, thinking that he only went to the Central Plains to challenge the martial arts of the Central Plains without harming his compatriots in the Central Plains, so he made him swear not to set foot in the Central Plains for the rest of his life and not to hurt any compatriots in the Central Plains, so he was released. "
Can you write this down and show Busujima Saeko? This can't be done!
Therefore, when Yan Kai excerpted the notes, he deliberately concealed the names of people, school names and related deeds mentioned in the notes. The essence of martial arts was contained in the notes. Although the lack of details made Busushima Saeko a little confused, But this does not affect Busujima Saeko's ability to draw nutrients from it and further improve his swordsmanship.
After the women's competition determined the final places, today's competition finally officially ended. After the game ended, Shizuku Kurogane, with tears in her eyes, flew into the arms of a young man who had been waiting for her outside the lounge.
"Brother Ikki, I'm sorry, I lost!"
Black Iron Pearl Shizuku threw herself into the boy's arms and cried in grievance.
"It's okay, Zhu Shizuku, you are already great, you will always be my best sister!"
Kuroyuki Ikki hugged his sister and comforted her softly.
Perhaps because of the decline of the family and the small number of people, the three brothers and sisters of the Kurogane family have become particularly united and have a very close relationship. Therefore, in terms of titles, the brother and sister call each other more affectionately, instead of using the same names as other martial arts families and upper-class people. Stereotyped and serious title.
Although for some dead nerds, just saying "Brother (Onisama)" may make them break through the defense.
The three brothers and sisters of the Kurogane family, no matter who they are, including Kurogane Ikki, who was sentenced to death by his father and has no hope of achieving success in kendo in his life, are doing their best to revive the family.
The family's greatest hope lies in his eldest brother, Kurogane Ouma, but Ikki, who has difficulty cultivating internal strength, has not completely given up on himself. Although he has little internal strength, he has unique insights and talents in swordsmanship. It was in his hands that he completed the final restoration. Although there is definitely a gap compared with the original version, a young man who can achieve this level can be said to be a "genius". Even the Black Iron King has great skills in swordsmanship. Sometimes he also has to ask Kurogete Ikki, his brother who is one year younger than him, for advice.
And the daily practice of the younger sister Kurogane Shizuku is completely handled by Kurogane Ikki. Therefore, among the three brothers and sisters, Kurogane Shizuku and Kurogane Ikki have a particularly good relationship. This is why Kurogane Shizuku is doing the moves It takes more up and down effort than internal strength, because Kurogane Ikki can't teach internal strength.
After absorbing the "brother energy" from Kurogane Ikki for a while, Kurogane Zhu Shizuku broke away from Kurogane Ikki's arms and said to Kurogane Ikki: "Let's go, Brother Ikki, let's go take a look." Brother Ouma!"
Although he did not hear the result of the game with his own ears, Kurogane Tamashizuku knew that there was no possibility of victory for Nanaisei High School against Kokuoh High School. Not to mention the victory of Kurogane Ouma against Kokuoh High School general Isshin Himura. Facing other main candidates, the Black Iron King is not sure of victory. Moreover, the Black Iron King is arrogant and will definitely not lower his status to fight in the backbone and deputy general positions. Therefore, he should have been defeated by now. , Kuro Tetsuju Shizuku wanted to comfort her eldest brother.
However, Kuroyuki Ikki shook his head and said, "Tama Shizuku, please leave me alone for a while."
As an older brother, Kurogane Ikki knows better than anyone that when an older brother fails, he does not want to be comforted by his younger siblings. What Kurogane Ouma needs most now is a space for someone to quietly lick their wounds. They don't want to You should disturb the Black Iron King.
After the Black Iron King licks his wounds, he will naturally return to the majestic and confident older brother, and then the two younger siblings will stand behind him to support him.
The brother and sister walked out of the venue together. Shizuku Kurogane turned around and looked at the tall venue behind her. She will still come here tomorrow, but unfortunately, she will no longer be a player, but an ordinary person. audience.
Shizuku Kurogane's belief in winning is not very strong. After all, she is just a girl, and she is also the most favored youngest in the family. After the family pressure is divided between her two brothers, not much falls on her, even the harsh Her father's attitude toward her was mostly loving, and he didn't want her to sacrifice anything for the family.
All the efforts she made were not so much for her family, but to experience the feeling of "working towards the same goal with her brothers." But in the end, she still felt unwilling to lose the game...
Just when Kuroganeju Shizuku turned her head, she happened to find Busujima Saeko walking out of the venue. Busujima Saeko also noticed Kuroganeju Shizuku's gaze, and then nodded to her in a normal way as a greeting.
He didn't have the arrogance of a winner, nor did he show any deliberate calmness. Instead, he just said hello out of courtesy when he met someone he had met once on the street.
Shizuku Kurogane nodded in response, and Busujima Saeko walked past her with a wooden sword in hand.
The tall and slender Busujima Saeko walked by, and Kurogane Ju Shizuku's eyes couldn't help but follow her movements.
In order to facilitate the battle, Busujima Saeko's hair was tied into a single ponytail at this time. This face looked very heroic, and even the black iron beads Shizuku who was a daughter could not help but admire her, and her back, although she was wearing It is a kendo uniform that does not show off her figure, but it is still graceful and graceful supported by her slender waist and straight hips. Her neat ponytail sways left and right with her steps, and the white and tender back of her neck is exposed from time to time, which seems to be covering up but not covering up. , seems to be concealing it, but it makes those who see it feel itchy, which fully illustrates what "the irresistible temptation of Japanese men" is.
How can it be repaired... valiant and heroic and charming, this woman is so greedy, she wants both!
Shizuku Kurogetezhu was a little jealous, she also wanted to become such a woman.
If I was such a woman, brother Ikki would not be able to take his eyes away from me!
Kurogete Ikki also noticed Busujima Saeko, cast his eyes on her, and then sighed: "The Busujima family, a famous swordsman in Tokyo, is really amazing. Although she didn't officially use the sword when she competed with you, her body skills Agile and calm, she must have worked hard on both internal and external skills. Now she is no longer in a competition state, but looking at her back, there is still no flaw at all. She is holding a wooden sword upside down in her left hand, and can deal with the front and rear at any time. Attack... Zhu Shizuku, it was not unfair for you to lose to her!"
That's good. Fortunately, Ikki's brother's focus is different from others.
Kurogane Zhu Shizuku couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
"Zezi!"
Kasumigaoka Shiha waved to Busujima Saeko. When Busushima Saeko saw her best friend, she couldn't help but quicken her steps towards her.
"Shiyu, I kept you waiting for so long!"
Busujima Saeko smiled and said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Yan Kai and others.
Unlike the audience who can leave at any time, Busushima Saeko is a contestant and has some procedural matters to go through after the game, so he has to leave the venue a little later than others.
However, as the team leader, Kitayama Xingyi was supposed to come out later than her, but she disappeared before the game started. She said she was going to catch up with her senior brother, and she didn't know when she would be back.
But as a nephew and a senior brother, Beishan Xingyi has so many relatives and friends here.
"It's okay, it's okay. We understand if you have something to do. You look so handsome during the competition. I can't help but be fascinated by you, beauty!"
Kasumigaoka Shiha frivolously picked up Busujima Saeko's smooth and white minibust with her index finger, tiptoed without leaving a trace, and approached her face with a "squinting" look.
There was no way, Kasumigaoka Shiu was already tall among Japanese women, but when she met Busujima Saeko, who was even taller, she couldn't do such a move without standing on tiptoes.
"Shiyu..."
Busujima Saeko smiled bitterly and cooperated with Kasumigaoka Shiu's teasing.
There was nothing she could do, she couldn't push away her best friend's playfulness, she could only stay with her.
