Chapter 287 284. The benevolent swordsman

"Actually, according to our revised script, Kanjiro did not defeat the third bandit." The Kendo Minister explained:

"To be precise, Kanjiro defeated the third bandit and spared his life, but the other party was ungrateful and went against his promise and attacked him secretly, causing him to almost die."

"At this moment, a passing ronin swordsman extended a helping hand to Kanjiro. This man's name was [Benevolent Swordsman]. He was once the strongest swordsman in the Ashina Kingdom, but he believed that his swordsmanship should not be used by the emperor, and It was time to fight for the people of the world and justice, so he refused the official position and wealth given to him by the king and wandered around the world. "

"[Benevolent Swordsman] defeated the third bandit and rescued Kanjiro. After learning the whole story, he escorted him to the imperial city. After Kanjiro won the contest, he helped him expose Hachijo Kazuo as a witness. conspiracy."

"At the end of the story, Kanjiro became [Ashina Kingdom's No. 1 Sword Master], and Hachijo Kazuo also received the punishment he deserved. However, Kanjiro refused the reward from the king, and left the emperor with [Benevolent Sword Master]. City, choose to wander the rivers and lakes, and become a righteous vagabond."

The Kendo Minister paused and looked at Kyushu Makoto with ardent eyes: "As you can see, the role of [Benevolent Sword Master] was carefully designed by us for you. How about it, it's very interesting!"

"Sure enough, they are very good characters. You guys are really well-intentioned~" Kyushu Cheng was also very surprised, thinking that they really wanted to praise themselves to the sky: "Then what do I need to do? I have to do it every day after school. Come and rehearse with you guys?”

"Because it is a guest role, [Benevolent Swordsman] has very few lines, so it will not waste too much energy from Kyushu students." The Kendo Minister quickly waved his hand and said: "But this character has a fighting scene in the play, I don't know Are students from Kyushu willing to participate in the performance?”

"Of course I'm extremely happy." Kyushu Cheng nodded: "Let me read the script."

Taking over the script from the kendo chief, Kyushu Makoto spent about two minutes reading his part.

In order to reduce the rehearsal pressure of Kyushu Makoto to the greatest extent, the Kendo Club compressed the number of lines in his script to a very small number. Many places are even marked with "freedom of expression". Even if you forget your lines and just stay silent, it doesn't matter. The character playing the opposite role will say the lines that you should say for him.

Not only that, the character of "The Benevolent Swordsman" is that of a cold, worldly master, and there is no need for exaggerated intonations and movements when performing. Even if he just stood there like a wooden stake and read his lines, he would definitely not make a scene.

In other words, Kyushu Makoto neither needs to memorize any lines nor has superb acting skills, but he can play such a big role and steal the limelight. The Kendo Club really respects him.

What Kyushu Cheng needs to worry about most is actually the fight scene. In the stage play, he has to have a fight with the third bandit, and finally kills him and saves the protagonist Kanjiro.

And the actor who plays the third bandit is none other than [Super First-Year Forward] Motaro.

Motaro has wanted to fight Kyushu Makoto for a long time, and he can use this opportunity to fulfill his wish.

"In the next two weeks, our kendo club will rehearse for the cultural festival stage play every day after school. But Kyushu-san is a special guest, so you only need to come to rehearse once or twice a week." said the kendo director. He explained in a low profile:
"Don't worry about the lines. The main thing is the fight scene. You and Motaro had better get used to it in advance, otherwise you will be in trouble if something goes wrong on the stage."

"You have considered this for me, how can I have any reason to refuse? I will find time to come over and rehearse." Kyushu Cheng ended the chat and left the kendo hall.

After leaving school, Jiuzhou Cheng first went to several part-time jobs and negotiated with the bosses, and finally decided to work temporarily as a long-term part-time job in a cafe on his way to school and with good wages.

Later, Kyushu Makoto went to the Yugami Detective Agency again and was told that there were no important commissions for the time being.

In the evening, Jiuzhou Cheng returned home and happened to meet Xiao Jing. "Did you just come home?" Jiuzhou Cheng saw Xiaojing wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag. He must have just come back from school: "Do you have anything to stay at school after school today?"

"Yes, Brother Cheng." Xiao Jing smiled a little tiredly:
"A lot of things happened today, and I can't explain them all at the moment~"

"But you are very happy to see you. Do you want to have dinner together and talk about things at school?" Jiuzhou Cheng always felt that his words were like an old father greeting his daughter, but he didn't think too much about it.

The two found a cheap restaurant, each ordered a barbecue rice, and then started chatting.

After Xiaojing went to school today, she first encountered the aftermath of the Ansun Meizi incident.

Because of yesterday's incident, the word "foreign students" has become a hot topic at Seikokan Academy.

I don’t know whether it was out of sincerity or following the trend, but some classmates who had no contact with Xiaojing began to spontaneously come around to talk to her and express their concern for her.

Xiaojing also responded confidently and generously to the kindness of these classmates, and with this momentum, she gained some friends with whom she could talk.

Then there were many trivial matters, such as the school inviting Xiao Jing and other international students to have private talks to discuss the incident handling plan and compensation. In fact, the main point was to hope that they would keep silent and not spread negative news about the school.

However, at the same time, the reporters who were ambushing outside the school gate were also ready to move. They obviously wanted to dig out some breaking news from Xiao Jing and others, and did not want the storm to end so easily.

"It's obvious that Ansun Meizi is no longer here, but campus life has become even scarier~" Xiaojing drank a mouthful of soup and complained helplessly: "But, it's all thanks to Brother Cheng, I won't be able to do it again." I’m scared. I’ll take care of everything.”

"Then you came home so late today because of the follow-up incident of Ansun Meizi?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked.

"That's not true." Xiao Jing shook his head: "Actually, our school is going to hold a cultural festival recently. I came back late because of this."

It is the tradition of almost every Wano university to hold cultural festivals. Although they are held at different times, college life without cultural festivals is not youthful for Wano people, just like not eating lettuce when eating barbecue. As serious as garlic.

The school management of Seikokan Academy also hopes to divert everyone's attention from the atmosphere of the cultural festival as soon as possible. It is said that they will invest more money this year to make it more grand, so that the incident involving Ansun Meizi can be resolved naturally.

Xiao Jing’s class planned to set up a refreshment stall this year, so they invited Xiao Jing to help out, hoping to provide them with inspiration for Chinese refreshments.

As a reborn cheerful high school girl, Xiao Jing of course agreed. She discussed with the classmates on the class executive committee until the evening, and also made friends with them and exchanged Lines numbers with them.

"It sounds very interesting. I'll come and take a look on the day of your cultural festival." After learning about Xiaojing's current situation, Kyushu Cheng was very pleased and began to share his own things:
"Speaking of which, I was invited to participate in a stage play at the cultural festival, and they gave me an interesting role."
