I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 Hasegawa would like to continue to introduce a few more words about the club.

　　Kamidai Keiko already smiled and asked, "Can you let me try it?"

"……sure."

The female clerk hesitated for a while, the second-year student named Hasegawa was also slightly startled, and then promised: "According to the rules of the department, all new members who enter the department need to be tested and assessed to determine the approximate level of the level. Develop a different training plan for each member. If Shinyo-san doesn’t mind, I can help you with the test."

　　 "Then trouble seniors."

　　Kamidai Keiko responded politely, then turned to look at Bai Shuiqiu:

　　 "Xiao Qiu, wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

　　 "Well, pay attention to safety."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded slightly and watched Keiko Kandaro go to the fitting room. He turned a few times in the dojo of the kendo club with a look of curiosity, and listened to the female clerk next to him explaining the scoring rules of the kendo competition. .

　　Same as Kyudo, Kendo also has special clothing, which is the so-called kendo uniform.

　　 The protective gear is divided into face, armour, crotch, and crotch according to different protective parts. Among them, the head, wrists, abdomen and throat are all effective hits. You can score on hits, but the throat is less used. Low-rank players are not allowed to use this method in the game.

　　 As for the stab face and chest, they are all prohibited actions. If used in a formal competition, it is a typical foul, and points are deducted.

"a little complicated……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu listened to the explanation of the female staff, and secretly dispelled the idea of ​​joining the kendo club.

For her, the "kendo" with strict rules and restrictions has little practical use except for physical fitness. Compared with the must-try among these students, the kind of killer used when slashing monsters." "Swordsmanship" is what she needs most.

　　 waited for a few minutes.

　　 Hearing a sound of footsteps coming from the side, Bai Shuiqiu turned his head and took a look, and noticed that Keiko Kamashiro was wearing a kendo uniform and holding a bamboo sword in his hand, walking over here.

　　 "Keiko, your body... doesn't it matter?"

　　Bai Shuiqiu is still a little worried, if this girl has a heart attack on stage, she will be in serious trouble.

　　 "Don't worry, I know how to measure it."

　　Kamidai Keiko blinked, and gave Bai Shuiqiu a wink: "In this competition, Xiao Qiu, you must watch it carefully. The things I want to demonstrate before will be shown during the competition."

　　 After finishing speaking, Keiko Kandai walked into the center of the venue under Shirasuiqiu's gaze.

　　 The formal kendo competition field is a 9x9 square field with lines drawn around it. After Keiko Kashiro entered, Hasegawa also took his upper armor and stood opposite her.

　　According to the rules of kendo, the two salute each other first, and then begin to pose for preparation.

　　 "Kindai-san, please."

　　 Hasegawa finished speaking, paused for a few seconds, and signaled Keiko Kashiro to attack first.

However, Keiko Kashiro had no intention of this at all. He just raised the bamboo sword upright in front of him and made a moderately mid-stage starting posture. After confirming that she did not intend to attack, Hasegawa sank. He breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward, and split the bamboo sword in his hand.

　　 "Be careful, I will attack your face with this sword..."

　　 The voice of speaking comes out before the action.

　　 The strength of this sword is not great, and the speed is not very fast.

　　 Obviously, Hasegawa was concerned that Keiko Kashiro was a girl and had a willingness to join the ministry, so he deliberately showed mercy to his staff.

　　 Almost at the same time Hasegawa stepped out...

　　No, to be precise, at the moment before he acted, Keiko Kashiro's eyes flickered, and he moved a few inches ahead of time.

　　 Her steps are clearly slow.

　　 But with just such a move, he avoided the oncoming chopping just right, and at the same time raised the bamboo sword in his hand and slashed forward obliquely.

　　 "A hand."

The stabbing action was also not fast, but Hasegawa seemed to have not noticed Keiko Kandaji's sword style at all. While maintaining the forward slashing posture, he was stabbed in the wrist, and then shook his fingers directly. Released the bamboo sword, and rushed forward two more steps empty-handed, only to hear the crisp sound of the bamboo sword landing.

　　 Hasegawa was stunned for a few seconds, and then reacted afterwards:

"I just……"

"What happened?

Chapter 387

　　 "The first hand is valid, and the red one is one copy."

　　 When the bamboo sword in Hasegawa's hand landed, the temporary referee in charge of scoring in the audience raised the small flag in a timely manner and made a judgment.

　　 The scoring rules for kendo competitions are that the winner will be determined by three books, and the first two books will win. In layman's terms, they will win two games in three games. Keiko Kashiro just won the sword, but the game is not over yet.

　　According to the traditional rules of competition, since the bamboo sword in the opponent's hand has been dropped, this kind of time is obviously the point...

Therefore, after Keiko Iichi succeeded, he stepped back and got out of the range of Hasegawa's counterattack. Then he raised the bamboo sword in his hand again, and looked at the latter vigilantly-this is the "cannibalism" in the sword. "Heart", if this link is missing in the official game, it is very likely that no score will be scored.

　　 Hasegawa also recovered at this time, leaned over and picked up the bamboo sword, then stepped back a few steps, distanced himself, and saluted again.

The second round begins.

　　 "Kindai-san, please pay attention."

　　 With the experience just now, Hasegawa finally became serious, and his actions were no longer as random as before.

　　 After a reminder, I heard this guy staring, screaming and rushing forward, swinging the bamboo sword in his hand again: "Ahhhhh!!!"

　　 Suddenly with these few shouts, Bai Shuiqiu's eyes moved in the audience, and he was a little startled.

The female member next to 　　 saw her surprise, and in a whisper-like voice, she explained a few words in a low voice:

　　 This kind of screaming scene is actually a preserved tradition of kendo.

There are two main purposes. One is to use sound to deter opponents, to achieve the intention of making the opponent timid without fighting, thereby increasing their winning rate; the other is to fit the concept of kendo and show their brave and progressive mental outlook, which makes them appear even more. There is momentum, regardless of whether he wins or loses in the game, he can slightly increase his impression points.

　　 If you are a novice in kendo for the first time, it is indeed possible to be stunned by this method and then defeated in minutes.

　　 But Keiko Kashiro is obviously not a novice.

The girl pressed her lips lightly, watching Hasegawa's every move calmly, and stepped back a few steps, each step is small, but just like before, every time she can dodge Hasegawa's slash. , Even when Hasegawa consciously increased the speed and intensity of the slash, he still couldn't get the result for a long time.

　　 This is a bit interesting.

　　 After all, in the round just now, it can be said that Hasegawa took the initiative to release the water, which gave Keiko Kashiro a chance.

　　 So now this round, you can see something.

　　 In just twenty or thirty seconds.

Hasegawa performed more than a dozen slashes in succession. By the time, the bamboo sword in his hand had already swayed a few afterimages, and when it fell into the air, it made a crackling sound, obviously he had already taken out his true level. .

He was half a head taller than Keiko Kashiro, but now when he uses his true strength, he looks more aggressive, and Keiko Kashiro is like a lone boat in a storm. No matter how violent the wind and waves, he always maintains his own rhythm. , And then at a certain moment, suddenly stabbed forward.

　　 This sword passed through the series of rainstorm-like sword shadows.

　　 But he didn't touch the bamboo sword in Hasegawa's hand at all, but after a breath, it pierced his throat.

　　 "The throat."

　　 If it were in an irregular swordsmanship competition, such a sword in the throat would basically be the result of immediate death.

　　 For kendo, which was born out of ancient swordsmanship, such an attack is also effective. Adding to the sword that stabbed the arm just now, Keiko Kashiro had already scored two points, which was regarded as a victory in this practice match, and there was no need to compare it for the rest of the third round.

but……

too fast.

　　 From the time the two went on stage to salute each other, to the end of the competition, the whole time has only been half a minute.

　　Even high-intensity kendo training, the time is not long, but it is rare that the battle will be ended so soon, Hasegawa did not even realize that he had lost.

　　 "Thank you senior for your advice."

Keiko Kashiro breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted, and then stood up straight again: "Senior, do I need to continue the test? If it doesn't interfere with your training, I would like to see my true level. What is the stage in the society?"

"This……"

　　 Hasegawa hesitated.

　　Kamidai Keiko's words sound very euphemistic, but if you pay attention to it, it is not difficult to find that her subtext means to continue typing. As a second-year senior, Hasegawa's kendo level is not enough in front of her.

　　 If a boy said something like this, it would probably cause some trouble.

　　 But if you are a girl with good looks and nice voice, nothing else...

Before Hasegawa could respond, there was a second-year student who stood not far away and watched the entire competition. He raised his foot and walked over: "It’s a rare opportunity to meet a kendo embryo with a solid foundation. My senior who has participated in kendo competitions, let's test the real level of this classmate."

"good."

　　 Hasegawa curled his lips in surprise, and got off the stage.

　　 The second-year student put on his visor, and walked up again: "Does Kamashiro need to take a break?"

"……Wait a mininute."

Keiko Kamidai stood there, turned to look at Bai Shuiqiu's side, and adjusted her breathing silently. After waiting for a minute or so, she saw the girl clenching the bamboo sword again, bowing and saluting: "Okay, please start. "

　　 In the next half a minute, it seemed to be a repeat of the previous test.

The kendo level of this second-year student is indeed better than that of Hasegawa just now. The attacking momentum is very fierce, and the reaction speed is faster. The sword that Keiko Kashiro pierced into the arm was also quickly parried by him. When the two bamboo swords touched, Keiko Kaminari's arms tremble visibly, and her breathing became a little short.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu, who was standing in the audience, secretly squeezed a sweat, for fear of what might happen to this girl.

　　 But after a few more tricks, the second-year student, just like Hasegawa, was stabbed by Keiko Kandai on the visor and throat with two swords, and was defeated by 0:2.

　　 At this time, the surrounding audience has gradually increased.

　　 Almost all the students in the kendo club's dojo were attracted by the competition here, and they approached one after another, watching and talking in a low voice.

　　 Someone has already recognized the identity of Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji.

　　 One of them is a rookie from the Kyudo Club, and the other is a transfer student who just came from Chiba City recently. They still have a little reputation in the school.

　　Kamidai Keiko, who was in the focus of her sight, withdrew the bamboo sword silently, stood still, and whispered, "Senior, let's take it over.

Chapter 388

　　 "No, I should be the one who should say this... You haven't actually come up with your true level just now, right?"

　　 The second-year student took two steps back, his expression a bit complicated and glanced at the foot of Keiko Kamashiro.

　　As a person who personally challenged him, he could see more than the onlookers in the audience.

　　Whether it is swordsmanship or kendo, it is a sport that advocates active offense, pursuing to use fierce advancement, and use fierce sword style to kill the opponent.

And this is determined by the characteristics of Japanese swords. Japanese swords pay attention to cutting. The blade is thin and sharp, and the blade is very lethal. When the ancient swordsmen faced each other in life and death, they often settled the battle within a few minutes. . And if you use the Japanese sword to defend, it is equivalent to exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths, which is very difficult.

but……

　　Kamidai Keiko's tactical style is a bit defensive and counterattack.

　　 From the beginning to the end, she moved and dodged almost all within a meter square under her feet.

　　 was able to avoid all slashes with such a small range of movement, which only means that her skills have far exceeded her, and she can easily win without even actively launching an attack. If you change to a real sword and sword fight, the second grader and Hasegawa will probably have died several times.

　　 Thinking of this, the second-year student's expression becomes more complicated.

Keiko Kashiro seemed to see this second-year student's thoughts and smiled slightly: "Senior has misunderstood. Actually, I don't want to take the initiative to attack, but because my body is not well, I don't have the ability to initiate attacks. I can only use this passiveness. The defensive way to resist your offensive, to achieve such a result, is completely the result of the mercy of the seniors."

　　 These words gave the second graders enough face.

　　 The latter was not stupid enough to refute in public, saying that he had actually tried his best, but after a salute, he turned and left the court.

　　Kamidai Keiko remained in place, but turned her head slightly and swept over the stage.

This is……

　　 What do you mean by continuing to compete?

Indeed, even Bai Shuiqiu, a passer-by who knows nothing about kendo, can see that in the two games just now, Keiko Kashiro performed well and looked relaxed, whether it was Hase or the other second-year student. Did not force her to show her true level.

　　 This kind of situation where two old club members were defeated by a newcomer who had not yet joined the club. It seemed that the Kendo club of Narita High School had encountered it for the first time.

　　 For a while, the people on the sidelines were talking about it.

　　 "Is this new student's name called Keiko Kandaro...have any of you heard of this name during the junior high school competitions in the previous two years?"

　　 "No, isn't she a transfer student? Maybe she didn't go to the junior high school in Chiba Prefecture before?"
