Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 233 230. Mobilization before the game
After receiving the temporary search warrant issued by the police, the two immediately set off for the convenience store.

It was almost six o'clock in the morning, and a senior who had the habit of doing morning exercises had already gotten up. Jiuzhou Cheng asked him to look after the house to prevent it from being invaded by unknown persons.

The two came to the convenience store to show the search warrant. The store manager was stunned for a moment and then took them to the monitoring room.

"Sure enough, this man sat in the convenience store from eight o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning." Nan Hehui kept fast forwarding the video, his eyes locked on the suspicious hooded man.

"At around one o'clock in the morning, he got up and left the convenience store, and he must have gone to the hotel where I was staying." Kyushu Cheng asked:

"Did you see what he looked like?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be Uncle Maoming's son." Nan Hehui immediately identified it:
"He sometimes accompanies Uncle Maoming to watch kendo competitions. We have met several times."

"Is this considered completely confirmed?" Kyushu Cheng asked.

"Well, if you want to find the mastermind, you have to start with the Maoming family." Nan Hehui nodded:

"I know where their home is!"

"If we leave it to those harried policemen, we don't know how long it will take. We might as well visit him in person and confront him face to face." Kyushu Cheng suggested:
"I plan to escort the students to the stadium tomorrow morning, and then go to the Maoming family to settle the score. After the Jade Dragon Flag game starts, the Maoming family will definitely be watching the game somewhere. At least we can easily grasp his movements."

"Well, I remember that Uncle Maoming usually goes to a bar near his home to drink and watch the TV broadcast." Nan Hehui thought about it:

"If his son really fell from the second floor last night and broke his bones, he must be recuperating at home now. We can just avoid Uncle Maoming and confront his son directly!"

"Just do it!" Kyushu Cheng responded.

If that "son of uncle Maoming" was the one who attacked them at night, what kind of expression would that guy have when Kyushu Cheng saw him again?
No matter what, Kyushu Cheng will make him and other accomplices pay the price. The behavior of these bitches is no different from murder. Kyushu Cheng can no longer tolerate their continued misbehavior!
A ray of morning light pierced the dark night, the sky quickly cleared, and the sky was clear and cloudless.

The contestants of Xiujin Academy woke up one after another, and the boys and girls began to argue over the use of the bathroom and the privacy of changing clothes. In the end, it was Mizuhashi Hideki and several seniors who helped mediate, allowing everyone to complete the preparations in an orderly manner.

After breakfast, everything was ready and the time pointed to nine o'clock. Everyone headed towards the stadium.

Today is the last day of the Jade Dragon Flag competition, and it is also the day to compete for the championship. The number of spectators and reporters has obviously doubled compared to the previous two days, almost filling the arena.

As soon as several popular seeded teams arrived at the entrance of the stadium, they were surrounded by reporters and couldn't walk away. The flashes of the cameras almost made the players blind.

The Xiujin Academy team was also besieged by reporters for a while. Kyushu Makoto and Teacher Shibukawa immediately stepped forward to stop the reporters to prevent them from getting close to the contestants.

Kyushu Cheng was worried that there were attackers among the reporters and would take advantage of the chaos to attack them.

However, the attention of these reporters quickly focused on the team at Gaotianyuan Peak not far away, which gave everyone a chance to breathe.

After entering the gym safely, the boys and girls went to the corresponding locker rooms respectively, and then began to discuss strategies for the game.

There is nothing wrong with the boys, they just play according to the original lineup. Motaro, a special recruit from Kendo, will play as the forward, the most experienced minister will serve as the main commander, and the other three will serve as the secondary forward, center back, and defender.

The match list for the finals was drawn yesterday, and everyone knows who the opponent will be facing next. The only topic they want to discuss is how to counter and crack the opponent's usual tactical style.

As for the girls, they are in big trouble. As the leader, Kunoki-senpai was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. If they want to participate in the competition, they must find a replacement player.

In fact, they did not bring substitute players on this trip, and they did not consider that someone would be injured and withdraw from the competition.

"Hua Heng-chan, how about you take my place?" A senior looked at another girl with a ponytail in the corner.

This ponytail girl named "Hua Heng" originally came to participate in the singles competition, and she was also the only Xiujin female student to participate in the singles competition this time.

It's a pity that she lost to a dark horse contestant from Hokkaido in yesterday's audition. Although the defeat was an honor, what she got was the dazzling result of "being eliminated in the audition".

Since she doesn't have to participate in the individual finals today, it's just right for her to fill the vacancy in the team competition. Just go and communicate with the organizer, claim that a player is absent for some reason, and apply for a temporary replacement of a substitute player.

Although Hua Heng is a lone wolf who only plays in individual competitions and has never played in team competitions, his own strength is not weak and he can play some role. Everyone has finally reached the team finals. No matter what, we have to work hard and we can't just give up.

"Sorry, senior." Under everyone's expectations, the ponytail girl rubbed her neck in embarrassment, with bitter tears hanging from the corners of her eyes:
"I didn't sleep well last night. I seemed to have a stiff neck. Now I can't straighten my neck."

Only then did everyone notice that the girl with the ponytail had been leaning her neck on her shoulders since just now. She was rubbing her neck hard with her fingers, but she couldn't raise her head.

"Hua Hengjiang does have a problem where her neck cramps for a whole day if she has a stiff neck." Another girl said:
"And everyone didn't sleep well last night, but it happened to be at this time."

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you all now." The girl with the ponytail spoke slurred:

"It really... hurts... it hurts!"

The girl with the ponytail tried to straighten her neck, but her whole body twitched in pain and her face twisted into a ball.

"It's better not to force her." The senior sighed: "Does it mean that only the four of us can participate?"

The finals of the Jade Dragon Banner Competition are all strong battles, and there is no moisture at all. In this kind of master game, four against five, it is no different from surrendering directly!

"Excuse me for disturbing you, Teacher Ushimaru. I have something to say to everyone!" At this moment, Eihime Mizuhashi came over holding a mobile phone, and it was Teacher Ushiwakamaru's face in the camera.

In the past two days, Teacher Ushiwakamaru has been communicating with everyone through video conferences, and Hideki Mizuhashi has also perfectly played the role of the microphone. The two masters and apprentices work together, and their coaching ability is no less than that of the head coaches of other teams. [Mizuhashi-san has already explained the situation to me. 】 Teacher Ushiwakamaru looked at the girls calmly, with no blame in his eyes, only reassuring kindness:
[I can see all your efforts these days. You are all amazing to be able to reach the finals, I am so proud of you! 】

"Ushimaru Teacher. Thank you!" The girls were very touched by the compliment from their respected kendo teacher.

[Life is always full of regrets, and many times things don’t go as planned. 】Teacher Ushiwakamaru continued to preach:
[But a true brave man must dare to face the miserable life. Even if you know you are an enemy that is impossible to defeat, you must bravely challenge it. 】

[Today’s arena is your stage, and it is something you have fought for with your sweat. Instead of worrying about losing, why not let go and make a fuss, show off your hard work, and let everyone witness your youth! 】

"We understand, Ushimaru Teacher." After receiving Teacher Ushiwakamaru's lecture, the girls calmed down a lot:
"Now that things have developed like this, let's not worry about winning or losing. Even if we fail, we will not gain nothing."

[I will cheer for you in Osaka and hope you can perform well. 】 Teacher Ushiwakamaru put his hands behind his back and nodded with a smile:
[By the way, if you are really short of people, why don't you ask Mizuhashi-san to step in? 】

"Hey, eh, eh. Me?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Mizuhashi Hideki was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone and pointed at herself in astonishment:

"But I can't do it. I've only studied for a month or two, and I haven't received any professional training."

[But if you come on as a substitute, you can always increase your classmates' chances of winning, right? 】 Teacher Ushiwakamaru said in a calm tone:
[Actually, you have already achieved some success. This is a good opportunity for you to practice. But I am just giving a suggestion. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. You don’t have to force yourself. 】

"." Faced with this proposal, Mizuhashi Hideki rarely showed a solemn expression.

She just came here as a handyman of the club, and now she is suddenly asked to go on the field. This is too sudden for her.

"Well, don't worry about us so much~" A girl comforted Mizuhashi Hideki: "Just watch the game in the audience. Don't worry about us. We can handle it."

"." Mizuhashi Hideki lowered her head and said nothing.

[You are becoming stronger, and you are also using this power to help others. Isn’t this the same path as me? 】

[I believe that in the future you will also save many people who need to be saved. When that time comes, you will definitely become as strong as me, or even stronger than me. 】

For some reason, the senior's words last night came to her mind, making her heart tremble.

After pondering for a moment, she raised her head and said to the other girls:

"Please let me come in as a substitute. I also want to help everyone."

"Eh? But Mizuhashi-san hasn't specifically studied kendo, has he?" A girl exclaimed, "Do you know the rules of the competition?"

"It's okay. I know the rules of kendo." Mizuhashi Eiji nodded decisively and said, "Please let me play as a forward. I will try my best to help you get rid of an opponent, even if it means just consuming the opponent's physical strength!"

Even if he is weak, he must still be useful, so he must not escape. Because only in this way can I get closer to my senior step by step and become an existence walking side by side with him!
"Since you also volunteered to be the forward, that's fine. That's it."

After discussion, the four girls agreed to let Mizuhashi Hideki be the forward, the first player to take the lead in the team competition.

Mizuhashi Hideki's goal is also very clear - she is the first cannon fodder to rush forward, consuming as much of her opponent's energy as possible so that the pressure on her teammates who come up behind will be less.

At this point, the girls' side has finally solved the problem of lack of people. Mizuhashi Hideki began to change her kendo uniform, and the other girls also chattered to her about some precautions for kendo competitions.

Although there is no hope of winning, as Ushimaru Shihan said, they still have to show off a glorious momentum despite defeat today, so that the national audience can see their hard work and sweat.

The girls walked out of the women's locker room and met the boys from the kendo club.

"Everyone, are you ready?" The Kendo Minister stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to fold their palms.

Everyone formed a circle and folded their palms together.

"Teacher Shibukawa, please come here too!" The Kendo Minister turned around and said to Teacher Shikawa.

"Okay, everyone is really energetic~" Teacher Shikawa smiled naively and put his hand up: "I'm really sorry, I haven't been able to help you much these days, but I will cheer for you!"

"Senior, come too!" Mizuhashi Hideki glanced at Kyushu Makoto not far away.

He had been keeping vigil for everyone last night, so his face was ugly and he was sleeping against the wall.

"Yes, Kyushu-san, come with us!" The Kendo Minister also plausibly invited: "Thanks to Kyushu-san these days, you must be counted as one of us!"

After saying that, the Kendo Minister gestured to everyone with his eyes. Both boys and girls moved aside willingly to make room for Kyushu Makoto.

"Okay, then I'll join in the fun." Jiuzhou Cheng yawned, stepped forward and reached out.

Everyone pressed their palms down, raised them up again, and shouted loudly in unison: "Xiu Jin, come on!"

Afterwards, everyone spread out and looked towards the direction of the competition venue.

The lights of the venue shone like stars. They are facing the stars, ready to go.
