Kazuya said slowly and seriously: "Yes, your foot is injured. You can only walk slowly. You can't run or kick... You just need to slowly approach her and use your sword to touch her chest or hand!"
"My foot is injured, so I can only stop with stillness. I am as motionless as a mountain. Is this the essence of the word Furinkazan (風林火山)?"
(Furinkazan, [風林火山, "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain"], is a word written on the banner used by the Sengoku period daimyo Takeda Shingen, which quoted four phrases from Sun Tzu's The Art of War: "as swift as wind, as gentle as forest, as fierce as fire, as unshakable as mountain.")
"Yes, your foot is injured..."
"It turns out that I injured my foot and have to use the secret techique of Zan (山) in the competition. Why didn't my sister tell me earlier?"
"Yes, read after me. My foot is injured.I can only walk slowly and stab the opponent's face, chest and hands. After hitting her, I should retreat quickly."
"My foot is injured. I can only walk slowly and stab the opponent's face, chest and hands. After hitting her, I should retreat quickly!"
"Again."
"My foot is injured. I can..."
Kazuya was there to teach Haruna, and the situation on the field was not optimistic for Hope Peak Academy. Hide Ochi was average and was defeated by the opponent with two easy wins. The backbone Minami Takano was not much better. She wanted to delay the fight until the end of time and the other party perished together, but she failed. She was nervous after the other party took one point first. Then she got impatient to take the risk to attack and was stabbed and ended the game by the other party.
The opponent's forwards defeated two players in a row, while Hope Peak's side was left with deputy general Kanae and the general Haruka, making the situation even more disadvantageous.
Haruna lowered her head and recited for a long time, then she looked up at the field and asked upsetly in a low voice: "Will we just lose like this, Kazuya?"
Kazuya shook his head: "No, you should believe in your sister." Haruka was already quite strong, and she was trained by him every day for a month and made great progress. He felt that the opponent's strength was just like so-so, and he didn't think Haruka would lose. If Kanae could consume one or two people and save Harukas energy, she could win this game.
On the field, Kanae had already fought against the other side'sforward. She had a solid foundation and rich competition experience, but she lacked some spirituality. Her shots were very routine and dull. Fortunately her strength was enough. She defeated the Snow Wind's forward and secondary forward, but after these rounds, she was tired and out of breath.
The two sides fight with all their strength and are wrestling with each other from time to time, which consumes a lot of physical strength. This is why the "Combativity Award" is there but not so easy to get. It is almost never seen that one people wins all from the beginning to the end. The year before last, there was a 16-consecutive one, but his continuous fighting time was long while his recovery time was short. In the end, he was easily defeated by a not-so-powerful opponent and his team didn't reach the end. Only one or two people can get the "Ten-person Combativity Award" in a year, but it is more common to win five people in a row.
The backbone of Snow Wind came on stage. She didn't fight Kanae directly. She either defended with all her strength or kept crowding with her to fight with her sword to stall for time. They were really fighting until the end of time and neither side got any point, so they could only leave the field together.
Kanae returned to the sidelines and took off her mask, looking a little upset. She tried her best to fulfill her wish, but still failed to complete the important task of one-on-five. Haruka patted her and said solemnly: "Captain, you have done a good job. The other two are left to me."
Kanae was in a low mood, but in fact she had made quite a profit by exchanging one for three, who was worthy of being the head of the kendo club. Haruka entered the field directly and couldn't wait to stand in front of the side line. Not to mention that she wanted to win in the first place, but the fact that the other party was a bunch of bastards also made her furious.
Snow Wind's deputy general was looking at the short Haruka standing there in her protective gear like a large doll, but she did not dare to look down upon her at all. Haruka entered the finals as a dark horse in the Aichi Prefecture IH Kendo Regional Qualifiers. The video that she jumped on one foot to chase the opponent in her individual battle after being injured in the team battle was all over the Internet. And the way she refused to get up on the field after the game was even made into some memes and spreaded around. She was nicknamed "Aichi Short-Legged Tiger", who was very famous.
The referee gave the order to start, but Haruka stood there without moving and roared at her opponent. Her small body made a huge and angry sound, and the momentum was so amazing that it immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience. Their 9th match had been watched by many people because of the previous accident, and now a exciting one came up, which made many people more interested.
Snow Wind's player felt she was suppressed and couldn't help but shout at Haruka, as if they came to the arena not to compete on kendo skills, but to compete with each other to see who had the longer breath and who had the louder voice.
More and more spectators came and looked over, but Haruka's lung capacity was really big, and her voice was more childish and sharp. She shrank into a ball and roared for more than ten seconds like a little tiger. The voice of the deputy general from Snow Wind School on the opposite side was so suppressed that she squeezed out all the air from her lungs without. In the end, she felt a little dizzy and felt that the "Aichi Short-legged Tiger" was indeed well-deserved reputation.
Haruka realized her dizziness and immediately took the initiative to attack with full pressure. She went up and slashed with a single blow, and used the strength of the opponent's retreat to block to try to move forward to strike again. However, the opponent anticipated and defended her, but she was short and directly slide into the opponent's lower body area, then a standard kneeling thug stabbed the throat and roared: "Hand! Thrust, thrust, thrust!"
After succeeding with the sword, she didn't stop sliding forward. She slipped behind her opponent, turned around and stood up, holding the sword on guard.
The three referees raised the red flag together without hesitation, and there was also warm applause from the audience. This little tiger is so awesome, her movements are crisp and clear, her actions are very decisive and her posture is also quite graceful! Her body shape is very cute, but her momentum is very strong, there is a kind of contrast between cuteness! Which area does she come from? What is she call? Does she have any historical record?
Many viewers became really interested and began to look for Haruka's personal information on the screen. At the same time, a group of reporters rushed to the No. 9 arena.
Snow Wind's deputy general instinctively turned around to reattack, but found that Haruka had already got a point, so she could only go back to the starting line at the referee's request. Not counting they shouting at each other, Haruka won in five seconds.
The short-legged tiger is worthy of her name. She is really strong!
Snow Wind's deputy general was also considered a veteran. She quickly calmed down and prepared to fight with her full strength to end the entire game. This is why the participating teams were basically composed of third-year students. In many cases, experience is very important. It is easier for third-year students to achieve results than first-year students.
However, it was useless for her to calm down her mood, not to mention getting back a point. At the beginning of the second round, Haruka kept roaring and attacking. Her small body was extremely strong, not inferior to ordinary boys, and her steps were very flexible. She went crazy around her and slashed repeatedly with the roaring momentum. The opponent found there was no chance to reattack and was finally hit on the head by a sword.
