After the game, Busujima Saeko hurried back to the mansion and locked herself in the room. Kasumigaoka Shiu wanted to follow up to see Busujima Saeko's situation but was blocked. Busujima Saeko actually locked the door.
"Shiyu, Saeko is maintaining her fighting spirit right now and cannot exit this state, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted, so we try not to disturb her as much as possible in the past two days. I have someone prepare another room for you. You can go there in the next two days. Sleep there!”
Kitayama Xingyi patted Kasumigaoka Shiyu's shoulder, who was locked out of the door and was looking confused, and said to her.
"Wait a minute, Saeko, my clothes are still in there!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes widened, and she knocked on the door even more excitedly.
It doesn't matter what the clothes are, but please don't touch my suitcase!
Kasumigaoka Shiu, who was not informed of this situation in advance, was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. She still had something in the room that could not be discovered no matter what!
"It's just clothes, it's okay, come on, Sister Xingyi will take you to buy clothes, I promise to dress you up beautifully!"
Kitayama Xingyi didn't take it seriously, it was just a few pieces of clothing. After dinner, he would take her to buy clothes, and he could also pick a few pieces for himself. How great!
Kasumigaoka Shiu, who had something in her heart but didn't dare to say it, was dragged away by Kitayama Kyoui, while Busujima Saeko entered a state of meditation in the room, using meditation to maintain her fighting spirit at all times.
This state of getting braver and braver is the most taboo to be interrupted. Once interrupted, all efforts will be in vain. Therefore, Busujima Saeko cannot withdraw from the state of fighting. For this reason, in the next two days, in addition to fighting, she In addition, all unnecessary actions will be reduced, even eating and sleeping.
This will undoubtedly be a very difficult and even painful challenge. Not eating, drinking or sleeping for two consecutive days. Not to mention the physical body, Busujima Saeko needs to bear more mental pressure.
The warrior's body is strong, and two days without food will inevitably not make Busujima Saeko's condition decline too much. According to Kitayama Xingyi's speculation, the increase in fighting spirit brought by thirty consecutive cuts can completely make up for or even exceed that. Points to the loss of physical condition.
But in this process, Busujima Saeko can be said to be experiencing mental torture at every moment. It is not easy to maintain fighting spirit at all times. She must constantly recall the battles she has experienced before to maintain her current state of war. .
This is a torture, but since Busushima Saeko has chosen this path, he will move forward at all costs. If he cannot even overcome such a small hurdle, then Busujima Saeko's future is destined to be limited. On the contrary, If Busujima Saeko persists, no matter she wins or loses, this experience will lead to her sexual desire.
The next day, Busujima Saeko fought again, winning consecutive battles, and advanced to the finals with a crushing victory. News, newspapers, and self-media all reported on Busujima Saeko's overwhelming performance, although many knowledgeable people Everyone knows that Busujima Saeko did not choose the individual competition but the team competition. No matter how eye-catching his performance is now, he will definitely get a bloody head when he bumps into Beiou High School.
Maybe those reporters and self-media are also aware of this situation, but they also know what audiences in Tokyo like to see.
Tokyo, which has been suppressed by Kansai for decades, is eager for a big victory to arouse their pride. Now, the streets of Tokyo are paying attention to and discussing this time's "Jade Dragon Flag". To be precise, it is the "Jade Dragon Flag". "The performance of Yujima Saeko.
As the heart of Japan, Tokyo routinely looks down on other areas. In their view, other places except Tokyo are just the countryside. Tokyoites have a natural sense of superiority.
Only when facing Kansai, they will appear very uncomfortable, because they have been beaten by Kansai, and they have been beaten for decades, beaten in different ways, and beaten in various ways, but In any martial arts competition, once Kansai people intervene, they will always be beaten.
No matter what advantages Japan has in martial arts, Tokyo is not as good as Kansai in martial arts, so Tokyo feels like it can't hold its head high when facing Kansai, especially when the gap is so huge that it makes people desperate.
In recent years, people in Tokyo and even the Kanto region have been beaten to autism by the group of Kansai people, or have been beaten to autism. Various martial arts competitions limited to the Kanto region have arisen, not just to avoid The Kansai people who drove the prisoner?
Now, in the national kendo competition, the Kanto people defeated the Kansai people. Although there was a reason for Beiou High School to let go, it is not important. What is important is that the Tokyo school took the Kuixing flag from Beiou High School. Come here, this alone makes people in Tokyo feel like they have drank a glass of refreshing soda. In the hot summer, there is nothing more enjoyable than this.
If any unfavorable news about Busujima Saeko's competition comes out now, the people of Tokyo will definitely criticize her. Therefore, for the sake of their own jobs, those reporters and self-media will definitely report on the good side. Some newspapers are even more shameless. He listed the "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats" between Busujima Saeko and Hokuoh High School, and was regarded as Keigao by many kendo enthusiasts in Tokyo, as if Busujima Saeko had already won.
As for Busujima Saeko losing in the end... then they can just print a few more pages of newspapers criticizing Busujima Saeko. Anyway, it won't prevent them from making money.
Whether they are reporters or self-media, they are just afraid that the world will be peaceful and peaceful. As long as something happens, they will be happy, both good and bad.
Tonight was another sleepless night. Busujima Saeko didn't sleep in order to stay in shape. In the hotel rented by Beiou High School, Haimura Isshin was changing the dressing on his arm. There was a blue-red bruise on his strong arm. , it hurts to look at it.
The cold ointment applied to the bruise quickly produced a burst of heat, which made Isshin Haimura frown slightly, but he needed this heat to dissolve the bruise so that his arm could perform at least as well in tomorrow's decisive battle. Ninety percent power.
"Isshin, I'm sorry, I couldn't be of much help this time..."
Okita Souji, who looked defeated, sat beside the bed and looked at Isshin Himura who was applying ointment and said guiltily.
Himura Isshin and Okita Souji usually have a good personal relationship, so they were assigned to a room this time. Although Okita Souji was always distracted from time to time when facing Himura Isshin, he was not in such a mood at this time.
In the semi-finals this afternoon, Okita Souji got his wish and met the person he wanted to defeat, the wild boy named Tetsuken. However, the result was not satisfactory. After a hard battle, he lost to Tetsuken. Although the sword consumed a lot of Tie Jian's strength, it failed to leave any damage to Tie Jian.
Tetsujian, who grew up in the countryside, was so energetic that it was ridiculous, but it only took away some of his strength. After a few meals, he would immediately become energetic again, but Himura Isshin's bruises could not be cured. so fast.
In the same semi-finals, Okita Souji faced Tetsuken, while Himura Isshin met Onimaru Meng, who became braver after tasting defeat. The two met for the second time. Compared with the first time, they met. Once, the two of them had a deeper understanding of each other's strength and swordsmanship, so the battle lasted longer. After the battle between Okita Souji and Tetsuken, they fought fiercely for nearly half of the time. hour, it is the longest competition since the start of this "Jade Dragon Flag".
At the end of the battle, Isshin Himura's right arm was scratched by Onimaru's wooden sword. Onimaru's swordsmanship was so overbearing. Although it was just a brush, it almost broke the bones of Himura Isshin's arm. Himura Isshin lost power in his right hand. He almost failed to hold the wooden sword.
In the end, Haimura relied on his extraordinary ability to adapt to the situation and quickly changed his sword. After Onimaru took over, he was careless and stabbed out the knife, hitting Onimaru's chest, causing Onimaru to lose the ability to fight again on the spot. .
In the end, Isshin Haimura qualified for the finals, but was also seriously injured.
The swordsman's arm holding the sword is their life. His right hand is Haimura Isshin's dominant hand. The bruises on his right arm have greatly weakened his fighting ability. Haimura Isshin first applied cold compresses to reduce the injury, and now he puts on ointment to reduce the bruises. This is all to restore as much combat effectiveness as possible when the final comes. Otherwise, facing an opponent who can defeat Okita Souji, he is not sure of winning even when he is in good condition. Now that his arm is injured, the chance of winning has been reduced by more than half. .
Okita Souji looked at the bruises on Haimura Isshin's arm and felt sad. He had previously thought about meeting Isshin Haimura in the finals, but now he was killed without any injuries in the semifinals. It was really ironic when he thought about it.
He knew that Haicun Isshin would face a very difficult battle tomorrow. He had the opportunity to help Haicun Isshin relieve some pressure, but he did not seize the opportunity and was beaten by the monkey-like flexible iron sword. His tactics were defeated, and the five-stage stab he was most proud of failed to hit the iron sword at all. This bastard became more difficult to deal with in the years after he disappeared.
"Asi, it's okay. You tried your best. I can only say that the iron sword knows you too well, and your swordsmanship has been completely restrained by him."
Haimura Isshin has a good mentality. After being taught a lesson by Kitayama Koichi, he also came out of the pride of "Beiou High School is the best in the world" and began to become more pragmatic.
The word "failure" began to appear in his dictionary. Recognize failure, accept failure, and then... transcend failure!
This is the consciousness that a martial arts practitioner should have.
There is no invincible person in this world. If there is, he must be a coward who will only take action against those weaker than him.
Therefore, failure is nothing special, but only failure obtained after trying your best is valuable. If failure is caused by arrogance, it can only be said to be stupid!
One night passed, and when he woke up in the morning, Heimura Isshin still felt pain in his arm. He did not complain about Onimaru Meng who had injured him. The two were competing fairly, and it was Onimaru Meng's ability to hurt him, and Because of what happened in the "Kixing Banner" finals, he has a good impression of Onimaru Meng, and thinks that Onimaru Meng is a real man. He was hurt by Onimaru Meng. In the end, it was because he was not good at learning and no one can blame him.
After getting up, Haimura Isshin did not do morning exercises as usual. Instead, he stayed in his room and repeatedly watched the video of yesterday's game between Tetsuken and Okita Souji, hoping to learn as much as possible about Tetsuken's moves and habits. To increase the chances of defeating him.
The head coach of Beiwang High School actually studies the opponent's game videos and thinks about tactics. If this happened a few days ago, Feicun would not have dared to imagine it. You know, Beiwang High School has always regarded its opponents as local chickens. Why have you ever paid attention to a wag? How relaxed and comfortable is your mentality during the game? This is all caused by the arrogance they have accumulated over the years. Now, Feicun Yixin wants to change this arrogant mentality in Beiwang High School.
Studying the video of the opponent's game is something that players from other schools would do. Now Heimura Isshin is like those people, facing the next opponent with an unprecedented seriousness.
The failure of the women's kendo team really woke up Beiwang High School, which was "only one in the world", and at least they began to know how to respect their opponents.
Haimura Isshin has watched the video of Tetsuken's competition several times. He found that the biggest feature of Tetsuken's swordsmanship is that it is unrestrained and does not follow common sense. The so-called sword moves do not exist for him. Whatever comes naturally, his sensitivity to murderous aura and fighting spirit allows him to dodge all attacks in advance. Even Okita Souji's five-stage stab can't do anything to him.
This is indeed a formidable opponent!
Haimura's fighting spirit as a swordsman slowly began to ignite.
While he was watching in ecstasy, his cell phone rang suddenly. Haimura Isshin glanced at the caller ID. He originally wanted to hang up immediately, because what he needed most now was to concentrate on preparing for the next game, but after seeing clearly After the caller ID, Isshin Haimura immediately paused the video, swallowed, and answered the phone in a very respectful manner.
"Young Master, I am of one mind, what do you want me to say?"
Even if it was just on the phone, Haimura Isshin still showed great respect for Kitayama Koichi.
"Isshin, are you feeling better?"
Kitayama Koichi's voice was as gentle as ever, making people feel like a spring breeze, and Haimura Isshin couldn't help but relax a little from the tension caused by the competition.
"Young Master Lao is worried because he is incompetent!"
Himura Isshin felt very guilty. He no longer had much confidence in the afternoon finals and felt that he had betrayed Kitayama Koichi's trust.
"Yixin, you and I are acquaintances who grew up together. There is no need to refer to each other as 'young master' in private. Just call me Haoyi."
Kitayama Koichi's tone was still relaxed.
"No, no, no, young master, I don't dare!"
Feicun wanted to be an honest person, but he didn't dare to be like his naughty sister.
"Hey, forget it, if you are free now, come to my room later."
Kitayama Koichi sighed.
"...Yes, young master, I will come right away."
Although he was wondering what Kitayama Koichi wanted to do with him now, since it was Kitayama Koichi's order, he would not hesitate and obey the order immediately even if he had doubts.
