Emi Hayaya led Jiang Xu all the way through the new recruitment area outside and straight to the club building.
As she walked, she explained: "We don't have many official members of the Kendo Club. Even if you are included, there are only 20 people, eight boys and twelve girls."
"Hey, is there such a big gap in the ratio of men to women?"
Jiang Xu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't boys generally be more active in sports like kendo?
"Yes, the minister has strict requirements for members. If you can't bear it, it's common to withdraw from the society."
"If another person withdraws from the club, we may not even be able to gather the seven main players and substitutes for the men's competition. I hope we can recruit a few more outstanding juniors this year."
Although Emi Hayaya had a worried look on her face, when she talked about the minister, her face couldn't help but turn to a look of respect.
Obviously, even though the current situation of the Kendo Club may not be optimistic, she still supports the other party's decision-making.
This made Jiang Xu feel more and more curious, and at the same time a sense of urgency arose in his heart.
I am the "Xia Yuan" hired by the school. It would be ridiculous if I were kicked out because I didn't meet the requirements.
"Don't worry, Senior Hayaya, I will definitely be able to stay and become the main candidate."
Jiang Xu pretended to be a new student without a blushing face or a heartbeat.
"Yeah, I believe it too."
Emi Hayaya chuckled lightly. Although she hoped Jiang Xu could stay, if Jiang Xu failed to meet the minister's requirements, she could only express regret.
However, even if we can't stay, it doesn't affect us becoming friends!
The kendo club's activity room is at the left end of the first floor.
Emi Hayaya walked in front and opened the door of the Kendo Club for Jiang Xu.
What appeared in front of Jiang Xu was a large, empty classroom. The floor and walls were covered with log-colored boards, giving people a natural, simple, and quiet feeling.
However, the sounds of "Drink!" and "Ha!" that sounded from time to time, as well as the "bang bang" of the collision of bamboo swords, broke the peaceful atmosphere.
The formal club members were in groups, all put on kendo training uniforms, and were sparring with bamboo swords in hand.
Because he was wearing a visor, he could not see his gender clearly.
But everyone is extremely fast in their steps, swinging their swords like shadows, and their power is as strong as a powerful force.
The sword blades clashed, like firecrackers exploding, with extraordinary momentum.
However, when Jiang Xu glanced at them, he unexpectedly found that his eyes could completely follow the movements of these people.
I even feel a little itchy on my wrist, and I really want to wave something, my body's instinct is getting ready to move.
In the corner closest to the door, there are three or four students who have taken off their shoes and are still wearing school uniforms. They are standing in a row with bamboo swords in hand, accepting trial training from a man in training uniforms.
Jiang Xu visually inspected that the space of the Kendo Club occupies a quarter of the entire first floor.
A club of only 20 people can have such a large space for activities. Should it be said that the school is atmospheric, or that the kendo club is taken seriously, or is this only true for clubs with competitive sports?
Jiang Xu guessed in his mind that he saw a lot of mobile classrooms with other club brands along the way. It would be good if the area was half the size of a classroom.
"Fujisaka-kun, where is the minister now? I have something to ask her for."
Emi Hayaya shouted to the official member closest to them who was undergoing trial training.
"Oh, it's Hayaya." Fujisaka heard the voice, turned around, pointed to a room in the large classroom and said, "The minister should be in the office. I still have tasks, so I can only trouble you to go on your own."
"Okay, thank you, Fujisaka-kun."
"This is what I should do." Fujisaka said politely.
Although he was curious about the person following Emi Hayaya, he still suppressed the idea of asking as he was familiar with the society's rules.
He agreed to wash the training clothes of several other guys for three days before he got the task of training newcomers. He couldn't waste time.
Jiang Xu put off his shoes at the door and followed Emi Hayaya as he walked inside along the wall to avoid disturbing the club members who were practicing.
The entire large kendo club activity classroom is divided into several small rooms on the upper left side, one is an office, and the other is a practice room.
You can choose to practice alone in front of the mirror, or you can play in pairs while isolating external influences.
Before arriving at the office, Emi Hayaya knocked on the door, and a crisp voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
The president of the kendo club is a girl?
Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Opening the door, the two walked into the office.
"Minister, are you busy?"
"Ah, it's Emi-chan. I'm reading the documents sent by the student union."
The director of the Kendo Club, who was sitting behind his desk and reading documents with his head down, raised his head and revealed his true appearance.
He also wears a single ponytail. When he looks up, his hair is swaying and his face is smiling. The first thing he sees is that he is very energetic. There will definitely be someone who belongs to his own place in the crowd.
And judging from the way she sat on the chair, spinning her pen nimbly with her fingers, as if she was ready to listen to reports, she must be used to being in a leadership position.
Jiang Xu glanced at the name tag on the table - Shuiting Maki.
The name does sound like a boy's name.
"On the first day of school, the first thing in the document sent by the student union was the bad news that the budget might be cut."
Maki Mizuba turned the pen with his fingertips, knocked his head, and said helplessly.
"But didn't our results in the National Kendo Competition last year break through the best in history and get close to the top 16 of the National Team Competition?! Why are we still cutting club funds!"
Hearing the news, Emi Hayaya's eyes widened immediately. The club's funds are closely related to the welfare of each member, which determines the quality of their accommodation and the quality of the hotel when they participate in the competition.
As a female regular member, she would naturally be worried.
"I asked the student union, and they said that the school allocated a large sum of money from all club funds in the school this year to set up a project to only support some key clubs and improve their performance. The kendo club should be among them, but... I don’t know whether to hire a new coach or what to do.”
Mizutani Maki smiled and glanced at Jiang Xu who was beside Hayaya Emi intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Xu's eyes moved slightly. It was a key club project, so this matter seemed to be related to exchange students like them? !
"But we don't need to hire a coach. Why don't they just transfer the funds to us?"
Emi Hayaya frowned.
No coach? ?
Jiang Xu looked surprised.
Wait, how did you train, and how did you win the top 16?
"Okay, funding matters are my responsibility as a minister, so you don't need to worry about it. In the end, if it doesn't work out, the worst case scenario is for my family to sponsor another 200,000 yuan for the school and designate 100,000 yuan as the fund for the kendo club. Anyway, they do it every year You have to sponsor the school with a sum of money, so why not give it to me to use this year,"
Shuiting Maki said indifferently and didn't take this matter too seriously.
"???"
Emi Hayaya was choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Xu was also speechless.
Good guy, is this the world of rich people? I’ve learned a lot.
It seems that the head of the kendo club is a rich woman!
