You only care about the strategy

Chapter 264 Too convenient
Accompanied by the school committee, Shiina Kiri watched a more formal kendo competition.

The contestants are all second grade boys, but their bodies are quite different. One is tall and strong, while the other is as skinny as a monkey.

Hitomi Hosokawa thoughtfully gave game rules and detailed explanations.

For example, the pros and cons of the starting moves used by both players.

The upper style is good for offense but weak for defense; the middle style is both offensive and defensive, suitable for both offense and defense; the lower style is good for defense and can be used to counterattack after defense.

Seeing Shiina Kiri listening attentively, Hosokawa Hitomi knew that he might not even understand the basics.

However, her good upbringing prompted her not to show contempt, but to introduce the rules of effective scoring in more detail.

"When there is 'Qiai', use the 'Bamboo Sword to strike the effective part' to hit the 'effective strike point'. After hitting, there is a 'Zanshin', which is called an effective attack."

"'Kiai' refers to the state of being fully focused on the opponent's actions and one's own planned movements. It also refers to calling out the striking position in this state."

Shiina Kiri nodded in agreement, understanding that this was to avoid accidental collisions.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. My father taught me to do my best every time. I didn't expect...I'm very sorry." Hitomi Hosokawa bowed his head and apologized sincerely.

"The 'effective striking points' include the face (hitting the forehead), the small hand (hitting the gauntlet of the front hand), the trunk (swinging the bamboo sword at a certain angle to hit one side of the opponent's torso), and the throat (the tip of the sword stabs the opponent's throat forward) ).”

"The 'effective part of the bamboo sword' refers to the blade of the 'wuda', which is the most capable cutting position in the sword. This generally refers to the part from the tip to the middle section of the bamboo sword."

In this way, she had fought against Nakajima many times in daily life. The two of them had their own victories and defeats, and their strength was almost the same.

"Do you mean what you think about the fight three days later?"

'Didn't you think I was so weak? '

Before Aozora transferred to school, she participated in various kendo competitions as a female leader.

"Yes, Hosokawa-san performed very well that time."

"I don't mean to blame you, Hosokawa-san, you are too polite, it was just a joke."

If it is a real fight, luck will naturally be a part of strength, but in a competition, we must avoid such uncertain factors as much as possible and compare the true strength of the players on both sides.

"'Canshin' means that after making an effective striking action, you should not relax your posture and fighting spirit. You should be mentally prepared, posture and strength to deal with the opponent's counterattack at any time."

She didn't understand why Shiina Kiri was still so calm and composed.

"Well, Shiina-san, what are your plans now?"

"Work hard secretly?"

"That's understandable."

In that class, Teacher Nishimura called out two names and planned to provide practical instruction in kendo. The teacher definitely knew the strength of Hitomi Hosokawa, and he was just a "target" who was unlucky enough to be drawn.

Although he said it lightly, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

At that time, he had only traveled through time for a little over a month or two, and he was still in the exploratory stage of everything, and he had been embarrassed many times because of this.

Shiina Kiri couldn't complain, and he didn't expect that she would come true.

"The above was taught by Mr. Nishimura in the kendo class."

With Kazuki Kobayakawa's reminder, Shiina Kiri has clearly recalled the situation at that time.

Is it because of the benefits of blue subtitles? I wonder if "Fighting Mastery" has any miraculous effects?

He felt very confused, after all, fighting and kendo sounded like two different tracks.

If you really want to say it, the bonus to swordsmanship should be "kendo proficiency".

And after so many "fights", "Fighting Mastery" behaves more like a passive skill, and his consciousness is far from keeping up with the movements.

He suspected that if he didn't train, he would kick the opponent with a sweeping kick after the opponent drew his sword, and then be directly awarded a foul.

The most important point is that kendo emphasizes the "integration of gas and sword". When making a move, you must call out the specific striking position, otherwise it will not count.

"It's best not to. It's easy to go astray in kendo, and correcting your movements will require several times more energy and time." "So, what do you mean, Hosokawa-san?"

"If you don't mind, Shiina-kun, I can guide you during your club work."

Shiina Kiri. "..."

He saw that Hitomi Hosokawa meant well, but the topic seemed to have returned to club activities.

"Thank you, but I really can't participate in club activities on time every day."

He can't stop going to work, or should he "bully" Gensei Yuexia and make her go to work for him every day?
"Okay then." Hitomi Hosokawa had no choice but to give up.

"It's a pity. If the minister was here, he would definitely be able to help Shiina-san more."

"Is Xiao Nai really that strong?"

In addition to being curious, he is also unconventional and feels proud when others praise his girlfriend's abilities.

"The minister is the most gifted swordsman I have ever seen. I am not her enemy."

Not an enemy of one, this evaluation is too high.

Shiina Kiri finally figured it out. He was not Hitomi Hosokawa's enemy, and Hitomi Hosokawa was not Aozora's enemy.

Conclusion: The person who should win the Jade Dragon Flag championship should be Her Royal Highness the Little Princess. If he and Aozora changed places, Hosokawa Hitomi would never think it was impossible to win the Jade Dragon Flag championship.

"Awesome." Shiina Kiri praised sincerely.

Naturally, he would not feel inferior because his girlfriend was too good, otherwise he would have voluntarily retreated when facing the Aozora Consortium.

While they were talking, the kendo match had already been won or lost.

In the best-of-three situation, the thin boy actually won.

It also shows that in kendo, although body size is improved, technique is more important.

Shiina Kiri finally left the sword dojo alone.

The heavy rain outside the house has subsided a lot, and the rainwater can no longer make much splash when it hits the stagnant water.

He saw the familiar figure of the monitor at the door.

Today, Kobayakawa Kazuki is wearing the Yuki High School boys' uniform like him, with a white shirt and a dark blue and white staggered tie.

flat chest.

"What a coincidence, sir." Shiina Kiri stepped forward.

Kobayakawa Kazuki rolled his eyes, turned around and walked directly outside.

"Wait for a long time?"

After Shiina Kiri caught up, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the sky.

Unfortunately, it’s a rainy day today and I can’t tell the specific time.

"No, I'm done with the student union and stopped by to have a look."

"By the way."

The student union and the sword dojo are to the east and west, which is a bit too convenient.

The two of them held umbrellas and walked along the decorated tree-shaded path, just like ordinary best friends in school.

"Thank you."

He now understands more and more why Yuuka Gensei likes to say thank you to him so much. When he senses the other person's feelings but is temporarily unable to respond accordingly, he will send out a heartfelt thank you.
