After the two sides slowly approached, Kazuya calculated the distance and exposed a flaw deliberately. He didn't use the mid-level stance but changed it to the upper structure. The opponent was inexperienced and was fooled. He stepped forward on his foot and screamed with a sword, while Kazuya stopped without any warning and then struck the opponent's visor with the sword, shouting "Men!"
He didn't want to shout, which felt like a fool, but he couldn't get a point if he didn't do it. No wonder Haruna didn't like this kind of competition rules, he didn't like it either.
After he succeeded with the attack, he immediately jumped back in a small jump to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. The referees quickly raised their flags. It didn't look wonderful, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Kazuya returned to the starting line, but his opponent was slightly panicked. After the referee gave the order, Kazuya directly attacked, breaking through his defense with two consecutive swords and finally ended the game with a real blow on the throat under a simple fake stabbing. This opponent was not strong, who was about the same level as Shin and probably here to experience the competition.
At the referee's order, they both returned to the starting line, drew back their swords and exited the field. Then Kazuya nodded to the next opponent on the sideline, only then could he return to the field again. He could't stand on the field and shout "Next one". He must leave the field and come back to show respect, otherwise it would be considered a foul.
Yukio also felt that the opponent was very weak and could not beat Kazuya. He watched Kazuya coming in and out of the field with a dark face when his opponents changed one after another. Bastard, this guy is about to win five people. The limelight should be his, but now was snatched away by this kid!
On the field, Kazuya also complainted secretly in his heart. This bullshit rule, I want to save some effort but end up being on the field back and forth!
But he just complainted and kept fighting so focused. One after another, and he was about to successfully get the first "Five-person Combativity Award". Kanae, as the captain, was watching from the side, her face gradually changing, mixed surpris and confusion. What's going on, is other men's team so weak? Kazuya Matsuoka doesn't use any advanced techniques. It feels like he just hit the other side casually, but why does his opponents lost one after another, which feels like an adult hitting a child.
She said to herself: "We really drew a good lot..."
Haruka glanced at her sideways and said gloomily: "Don't be fooled. He is very strong and now he don't even use one-tenth of his strength!" She looked quite depressed. Kazuya must could the award, but she didn't catch any hair, so it meant she lost again.
But now that he was one of their own, so she could't use a slingshot to shot against him... Her stomach seemed to begin to hurt a little.
Kanae was still confused. After all, her eyesight could not tell how good Kazuya was, but it was a good thing to get one more reward. She soon laughed because Kazuya was indeed actually got it.
They were assigned to the No. 16 arena by drawing lots, which was in a corner of the stadium and relatively remote. Kazuya played calmly and easily. Although he completed pentakills, it didn't attract any special attention. But several little girls sitting on this corner of the stands began to shine as they stared at him.
Wow, once he takes off the visor, this guy is so handsome! Besides, he can beat five people by himslef!
Before the next opponent was decided, Kazuya got a chance to rest. Haruka pursed her lips and poured him tea, while Kanae reminded him: "This team is relatively weak, but don't be careless. The next team seems to be a well-known and strong team, so fight hard!"
She was afraid that Kazuya would start drifting after winning, and that the next game would end without even defeating one of his opponents.
Kazuya smiled: "I know, Captain."
As expected, the opponents in the next round were just as Kanae said. Their strength had obviously been stronger two levels. They were all third-year players and coming to capture the flag. So Kazuya took it seriously and took out the original violent attack as like he trained Haruka, cautiously competing with them.
Shinichi was observing the player named Akiyoshi Sakura and found that he had a good foundation. Although it was his first time participating in the competition, as a forward, he had just did a pentakill and won the "Combativity Award".
He felt that he had discovered a new star of this year. Although he didn't expect him to be as good as Haruna, he still had certain expectations. While he was recalling Akiyoshi's skills, he saw several colleagues running towards the corner of the gym. He was curious and went there, looked over there with some confusion, and then was shocked.
The corner of the stands was crowded with people and all the girls in the front row were applauding for joy. Shinichi didn't know what happened, so he grabbed one of his colleagues and asked: "What happened to No. 16 Arena?"
This reporter didn't know him, so he struggled to break away and said hurriedly: "There is a first grader who is about to beat two teams by himself. Last year's dark horse Kuroyama Boys' High School only left their general. Let me go, I must go to take pictures!"
Shinichi let go of his colleagues who rushed away. After hesitating, he also hurried towards that direction. Haruka, who was under the corner of the stand with a dark look on her face, kept looking back at the gathering of more and more girls. Most of them were some players in the women's team and their relatives and friends accompanying the team, as well as kendo enthusiasts.
There were only several people just now. After they cheered Kazuya, and Kazuya, the shameless guy, turned around and smiled, those people got excited and started calling friends. In the blink of an eye, there was such a big crowd gathered here. Not only did this gigolo gather so many white-collar in their own store, but he also did this when he went to other places.
Kazuya felt a little numb when he heard the coquettish sounds on the field. He just smiled politely and waved as a thank you for those cheered him on. Is this usually the case in sports venues? People support him, so he couldn't be cold-faced, right? But he really never expected that this group of girls would gather more and more. Where did they come from? This was too eye-catching.
During the game, he quickly concentrated his attention, but when he looked up, he found that the field director seemed to have noticed something unusual here and directly showed the big screen to their arena, making his face directly exposed in front of all audience.
When Shinichi arrived at the No. 16 Arena, there was a fierce attack and defense going on. The sound of continuous bamboo sword clashes kept coming, and the general of Kuroyama was forced to hold on in a corner of the field, constantly using his strength to block. He was surprised because this high school student was by no means an unknown person. He had reached the quarterfinals last year but was defeated by the champion team. Why was he beaten so embarrassingly this year?
He took a closer look at the words on Kazuya's name tag hanging on his waist, saw "Hope Peak" written horizontally and "Matsuoka" vertically, and was surprised again. Is this player from the men's team of Hope Peak Academy?
I made a misjudgment. The Hope Peak's women's team had the ability to dominate the women's competition, and the men's team was also extraordinary and could have an advantage against last year's top 16 teams? How did this school do it silently?
He quickly dug out the information and browsed it again, finding that Kazuya had no historical record and was still a first-year student. He felt that he understood a little bit. Hope's Peak Academy was very ambitious and no one knew how much money they spent to collect such a group of people. Their geniuses are ready to make a name for themself and have already begun to bear fruit. This Gyokuryuu Competition is probably the first stepping stone for the rise of this emerging academy.
