Haruna was stunned for a moment, "Who applied it?"
"It's me!" The girl opposite took advantage of her distraction and roared suddenly, trying to push her away. However, the sound she roared was loudly, while she still couldn't push her. Instead she was taken half a step back.
"Is it you?" Haruna reacted in a daze and got angry. It's really you who hurt the senior, so despicable!
Her anger suddenly rose and she yelled: "Despicable guys, my sister asked me to kill you!" She exploded with strange strength and pushed the opponent almost to the ground. The other party staggered back and was about to fall down. Haruna chased after her and the bamboo sword in her hand was even more unceremonious. She hit the opponent's face armor directly, making a huge blow.
Being hit by this huge force, the opponent couldn't control her posture and sat down directly. The three referees raised the flag without hesitation and announced that Haruna was the winner. Snow Wind's side lost her balance and there was no chance of counterattack. Haruna's hit was solid accompanied by a loud roar. Although she didn't say the location of the blow but an inexplicable word, the momentum was so strong that it could be considered a Zanshin (残心).
But Haruna didn't pay attention to the referees at all. She used to practice without the referee watching. She treated her kendo classes as a game and never took it seriously.
After finishing the blow, the anger in her heart had not subsided yet even she saw her opponent sitting on the ground in a very embarrassed state. She jumped up and smashed directly at the opponent with the overwhelming force of a mountain, holding the sword in her hand and stabbing straight down. She shouted again: "Die!"
She shouted the word "Die" loudly and domineeringly, which shocked the whole audience and seemed to have an echo. The referees were so confused that they didn't even react. What are you going to do after you've already won?
More than half of the audience's eyes were also cast on Arena No. 9, where a girl in black armor was seen jumping on another girl in white armor, hitting her and making her scream like a pig. But the girl in black armor didn't give up. She rode on the girl in white armor and stabbed her with a sword as hard as she could.
The entire audience stood up in an instant. No one expected such an exciting scene in a battle. A large group of reporters rushed to the side of the Arena No. 9 and took photos frantically!
Everyone of the Hope Peak Academy on the sidelines was also shocked. Kanae opened her mouth wide, Kazuya covered his face, and Haruka stood up and shouted angrily: "Idiot, what are you doing?"
The game was temporarily suspended, and Haruna was taken out of the field. She knelt down on the sidelines with a look of aggrievement: "I didn't foul. I didn't kick her or hit her with my hands. I always used the sword!"
Haruka slapped her on the head angrily: "Asshole, I also haven't allowed you to ride on her!"
Haruna felt even more aggrieved, but she didn't dare to resist. She whispered, "You didn't say I can't ride the opponent. You just asked me to kill them."
"How dare you talk back!" Haruka became even angrier after being silent for a moment. She shouted in a low voice: "If you are judged to withdraw from the competition, I will kill you when we get back. Now kneel down and pretend to be pitiful."
Haruna didn't have to pretend to be pitiful. She was kneeling there with her head hanging down as if she was about to be beheaded.
On the field, Kanae and Kazuya were pleading for Haruna. Kanae bowed repeatedly and asked the referees toregard Haruna as a first-year student and a beginner, while Kazuya fully activated his charm and told the referee in a gentle voice that it was not a malicious foul but was just that the player was too nervous as a new player. She was focused on the game and didn't pay attention to the referees' instructions. She didn't mean to be disrespectful, so please be merciful.
But Snow Wind School was also protesting against Haruna's deliberate insult to the opponent, which was inconsistent with etiquette, and insisted that she should be withdrawn from the game. The Snow Wind's forward was hit by Haruna and struck several times with the sword. She was wearing the protective gear and was not seriously injured, but she couldn't continue playing because she was very depressed.
The three referees became impatient with their quarrel and dismissed them, asking them to return to their own sidelines. Then they waved over the inspectors and gathered together to discuss for a while. They watched the courtside kneeling Haruna who were acknowledging her mistakes. They was full of pity and thought about Kazuya's words. They didn't know why, they felt those words of the boy from Hope Peak Academy's were very reasonable. They finally issued a verdict directly.
According to the provisions of Article 17 of the Gyokuryuukou Competition, anyone who uses equipment and protective gear that violates the standards, intentionally trips the opponent with his feet, improperly pushes the opponent out of the field, intentionally escapes from the field during passive competition, and attacks the opponent who is downed, are all deemed as fouls, and one foul should be recorded. This is valid throughout the competition. After two fouls are accumulated, one game will be directly awarded.
Haruna's situation just now was attacking on a fallen opponent, which was relatively bad. On this basis, the penalty might be increased and it was also possible to force her to exit the competition. However, she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, so in the end Haruna was sent off and received a foul. If she fouled again in the next game, she would be directly awarded a loss. At the same time, the previous game was invalid. The two sides recompeted again, with Snow Wind 5 people playing Hope Peak 4 people.
Both parties could barely accept this verdict. Everyone on Hope Peak's side looked worried. After all, there was one person missing this time, and the situation was obviously unfavorable.
The game restarted, and the new forward replaced by Snow Wind faced off against Hope Peak's second forward Hide Ochi. The opponent was still a third-year player, so Hide had a harder time playing. Everyone was nervously watching the situation on the court.
Haruna was ordered to reflect and sat there with her head bowed and her knees down. She really wanted to do it well. Who knew that there are so many retrictions in this game, and it can't do this and can't do that. Isn't the purpose of practicing swordsmanship to defeat the enemy? She didn't quite understand why there were so many restrictions in the competition.
The other party was clearly not her opponent, but she lost in the end. Is that fair?
Kazuya came over and patted her back gently, comforting her in a low voice: "It's okay, Haruna. Just play hard in the next game. If you really can't remember those rules, I can tell you a simple way."
He understood why Haruna behaved like this. Her fighting style was like a wild boar and very fierce. It was really not suitable for this kind of sports competition where both sides would leave as soon as they touched each other. They didn't want to hurt their opponent but only wanted to get the point, which was totally unlike their first duel. If there hadn't been a small forest at that time, he might have been beaten over heavily by Haruna's wooden sword.
The habit that she had developed over the years was to use all tricks to win her opponents. Attacking aggressively was almost instinctive, and it was not easy to change this moment.
Haruna asked in frustration: "What can I do, Kazuya?"
Kazuya said softly: "You can image that your foot is injured and you can only defend and counterattack. You can't kick or collide. The opponent's weak point is her head, chest, abdomen and hands. After being hit, you should run away immediately no matter what the referee says."
"My foot is injured?" Haruna tilted her body and looked at her foot underneath her butt.
