death of hope

Chapter 797: Wild Growth (213) Beichen Yidao Liu

The two players stood in the middle of the field, each taking their own stance.

To others, this competition was a foregone conclusion.

The dignified Kashima martial arts master, versus the unknown,

It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It's nothing surprising even if the enemy is killed instantly.

Mayumi Takeuchi is revered by the Japanese martial arts community as "a genius female warrior once in a century" and "the youngest martial arts master in Kashima."
Although she is famous, she does not have the greed and recklessness of her peers. Instead, she is calm and cunning far beyond her age. She will never make stupid mistakes like being careless and underestimating the enemy.

·
Before going on stage, Mayumi had already made a plan in her mind. She did not intend to fight quickly, but patiently waited for her opponent to attack.

You must carefully weigh your opponent's strength, and if you find a flaw, deliver a fatal blow.

Mayumi Takeuchi held the middle of the long shaft of the naginata with both hands and took a cautious defensive stance.
His image was heroic yet sweet and lovely. He raised his sword-like eyebrows and said with high fighting spirit:
"Let's release the horse!"

(Come on!)
·
In sharp contrast,

The combat maid had a stern expression on her face and managed a lazy and weird smile.

Maria Takeuchi's smile is like a machine's poor imitation of a human.

It's stiff and artificial, like a human but not a human, a bit like the uncanny valley effect, and really creepy.

She leaned her hands on the hammer handle and stepped one foot on the heavy hammer head.
A pair of lazy and lifeless eyes drooped, as if about to fall asleep.
Anyone who sees these empty eyes will understand that inside this beautiful and hypocritical body,
No soul.

·
Kondo Isao glanced at the maid with contempt and thought:

(Humph, is this the only monster we can send? After the death of the mountain hero, the Sanno Society has run out of luck and is about to die. New Sapporo will soon be the world of our Kyokushin Group!)

With confidence of winning, Kondo Isao happily raised his hand to give instructions, snapped his fingers, and the host came on stage.

The person who presided over the competition was Yae, the granddaughter of Kondo Isao.
This rebellious girl did not work for the Kyokushin Group. She did not like following her father and brothers into the underworld, but chose her own path.
She studied broadcasting at Shin Sapporo Inaba University and is currently an intern host at Shin Sapporo Entertainment News Channel 2.

Because of her good temperament, good looks, hot body and strong business ability, she is loved and sought after by the audiences. I believe she will be able to become a regular employee soon.

Kondo Yae appeared on stage wearing a scarlet silk cheongsam and holding a wireless microphone. Facing the scrutiny of such a big shot as the senator, she was not at all nervous.

·
He took a deep breath and began to explain, his words were clear and articulate, his voice was gentle and sweet yet majestic:
"First round!
Representative of the Sannokai;
Battle Maid,

Maria Takeuchi!
Duel
Kyokushin group representative;
Kashima Banbu Arts Normal School,
Mayumi Takeuchi!
Lord Martial God will make a fair judgment!

I wish both ladies good luck in their military careers!"

In order to show off his ample lung capacity, the host deliberately dragged out the ending of each sentence;
“Now~~!

Start~~! "

Kondo Yae made a "hand knife" chopping gesture, obviously he was also a martial artist, he jumped back lightly and withdrew from the competition circle.

The monk then swung his mallet and struck the huge bronze gong:
"哐~"

The long sound of the gong echoed in the wide arena.

Announcing the official start of this murderous stage play.

·
The battle maid's eyes flashed with dazzling electronic light.
Maria Takeuchi changed her personality in an instant.
From a servant who cleaned and did odd jobs, he turned into a murderous berserker.
The originally gentle and lazy look suddenly became fierce and ferocious:

"Battle mode, activated."

The maid squatted slightly, then jumped high. Her wide skirt fluttered in the wind pressure, and the steel hammer was raised high above her head.

The majestic momentum and abundant power seemed to crush every bone of the opponent from the skull to the feet.

"Oh, that's not bad~"

Maria Takeuchi even had time to praise her opponent. She was not panicked at all and rolled to the side to dodge the attack.

The heavy hammer hit the ground with a loud "bang" and everyone in the VIP seats felt a noticeable vibration under their feet.

Fortunately, the original wooden floor of the basketball court was replaced with special materials, otherwise the hammer would have created a big hole in the middle of the court.

·
When the attack missed, the battle maid didn't even need to adjust her breathing. She raised her giant hammer and continued to strike back and forth, with almost no pauses or intervals between attacks.
There are no skills, no rules, just bold and aggressive moves, with the intention of killing the opponent.

Each of Maria's hammers was infused with a force that was enough to split stones and crack monuments. Not a single blow was wasted.

The sudden and fierce attack had the momentum of "killing the master with random punches".

There were hundreds of Kyokushin Karate disciples watching the match, including many high-ranking masters.

Seeing the maid's fierce and terrifying attack, they were all frightened and broke into a cold sweat, thinking in unison;
(If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even last ten seconds, and would be smashed into a pool of pulp…)
In a blink of an eye, the battle maid had already attacked with more than fifty hammers, but each time the female warrior dodged and escaped nimbly.

"Amazing! Humans can't do this~"

Mayumi Takeuchi exclaimed sincerely. As she spoke, her body did not stop, she retreated, jumped sideways, and dodged several times. Her dodging was extremely thrilling. The rusty hammer head brushed against her hair and passed by the edge of her kimono.
The hammer head quickly swept through the air, making a whistling sound. The sound was like the whisper of death, which was creepy.

The destructive power of blunt instruments is far greater than that of sharp instruments. If they are hit hard, bones and tendons will be broken.

The representatives of various gangs in the audience did not dare to blink. They all held their breath and nervously dug their toes into the soles of their shoes, worried that they would hear the sound of a sledgehammer crushing bones in the next second.

“This is really… so terrible…

Compared to this, the conflict in our neighborhood is childish as playing house..."

A dark-skinned Latino gang leader exclaimed:

"How can this little maid have such strange power!?"

"Human modification is all about technology and hard work. No matter how outrageous it is, it's not surprising," said the African-American man next to him.
"Look, that female warrior is being forced to retreat. She's about to be doomed!"

"Yeah, from this point of view, there is no point in practicing martial arts. We will be beaten by the technology players."

·
Hearing such comments from the audience, Kondo Isao shook his head contemptuously and thought:

(A bunch of fools, talking nonsense there,
It's hard to tell who has the upper hand; Mayumi is just teasing the cyborg.)
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.

Seeing the battle maid gaining the upper hand on the scene, Yamagami Toru was not happy but worried:
"The first game was terrible. Really, I was teased like a monkey..."

"Haha, it does look like that~"

"Ah Xing, you still have the nerve to laugh! Who just said that the maid was amazing?"

"Of course it's great, but it depends on who you're competing with.

The female warrior opposite is a master-level figure, so it is normal for her to be teased by others."

"What?! Did you know you would lose? Are you kidding me? This competition involves my life!"

"Don't forget, young master, it's a best-of-seven game. Losing one or two games doesn't matter." Chen Xing said slowly, still with a confident look on his face:

"It's impossible for Xiao Hong and I to lose. A-Lin and Robin are also our best opponents.
Besides, our maid hasn’t lost yet~"

Yamagami Tetsuya sighed: "Ah Xing... you are so mysteriously confident. I think you will definitely lose the first game..."

Chen Xing flipped through the instructions provided by Mitsubishi:

"Young Master, look, it's written in the manual that combat maids have their own advantages.

Maria is strong, Rosette is fast, and Naomi is tough.

Compared to human warriors, they lack creativity, spirituality, understanding and flexibility of martial arts, so they appear a bit dull and clumsy.

However, there is one advantage to cyborgs.
They have no soul, no opinion of their own,

They will obey the orders of their "master" absolutely and will not be afraid of being torn to pieces in order to achieve their goals.

The orders they received were to kill each other, not to save themselves.

This is only the first game, don't be anxious, young master, just keep watching."

·
After hearing this, Yamagami Toru still kept shaking his head.
He had not yet realized the hidden meaning behind Chen Xing's words, and was still observing the situation on the field with concern:
"It's over... The other side is about to take action..."

Just as he said, Takeuchi Mayumi had completely seen through the combat maid's behavior patterns and attack methods;
It was nothing more than smashing down, head-on collisions, left and right sweeps, and the occasional clumsy punch and kick attacks. In terms of technique alone, even the rookie apprentices in the dojo were much better than this.

With Mayumi's agility, it was too easy for her to avoid this attack.

She had fought with the cyborg warriors before and knew that they were good at fighting a war of attrition, so she didn't plan to tease them anymore and prepared to launch a decisive attack while she still had plenty of energy.

Mayumi Takeuchi avoided a sweeping blow and quickly moved to the side of the battle maid.

From her perspective, the battle maid's body was full of flaws, and every swing of the hammer seemed to be in slow motion.
She had already killed her opponent dozens of times in her mind, so she didn't attack rashly for the sake of safety.

(Warm-up complete, time to send her off.)
After a series of backflips, she dodged the fierce hammer blow again and quietly changed the position of her grip on the long pole.
From the mid-section grip that focuses on defense, to the end-section grip that focuses on offense,

This method of holding the naginata can fully utilize the attack distance advantage of the naginata, while using the "lever principle" to deliver a powerful blow.

At this time, the combat maid's body center of gravity had been shifted by the hammer head, and she needed time to adjust. The female warrior wanted to take advantage of this gap and got into position.

Mayumi Takeuchi took a deep breath, held the end of the naginata handle tightly with both hands, and raised it high above her head.

It seemed as if he was going to use a powerful blow to cut the opponent's head in half.

The battle maid didn't realize it was just a feint, and raised her sledgehammer to protect her head.

Mayumi Takeuchi shouted:

"The secret of Beichen's sword style!
Kamaitachi Slash!"
