Chapter 1 An Unusual Kendo Genius

"Pah——"

A crisp and powerful sound rang out in the Kendo Club's arena. It was the thunderous sound of bamboo swords intersecting.

In the arena, two boys in indigo Kendo uniforms confronted each other with swords, but the members who were familiar with the two knew that the winner had been decided.

The one on the left, who was fully dressed in face armor and protective gear, was shaking with his bamboo sword, and if you got closer, you could easily hear his heavy breathing.

However, facing the genius Kendo boy who looked like a monster on the opposite side, as a senior, he was successful in not having his bamboo sword knocked out directly.

The terrifying power, the speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and the movement like thunder were simply the best portrayal of the boy's strength.

Nohara had a clear understanding of his own strength, and the clearer he was about his own strength, the more he could feel the horror of the boy on the opposite side.

If this sword hit someone, it would be 100% certain that he would die! And Naoto Nohara had a feeling that the other party might have held back.

"I lost."

After a few breaths, Naoto Nohara caught his breath and admitted defeat.

On the other side, Shimizu Koji, a handsome boy with black hair and black eyes, slowly put away his sword, saluted briefly and ended the undisputed competition.

"Gu——, as expected, this monster has become stronger again"

"It's been less than a month. Last time, Senior Nohara could at least fight two or three rounds."

"It's really scary. I can't see his movements at all. Is that really the power and speed that a bamboo sword and a person can have?"

The members of the Kendo Club who were watching around whispered to each other and talked a lot, but no one was surprised by the result, because from the beginning, Shimizu Koji had shocked their hearts with his unparalleled talent and strength.

A month ago, when Shimizu Koji joined the club, he didn't know the rules of the Kendo competition, so he entered the venue without wearing protective gear and accepted the test of a second-year senior who didn't like him.

As for why he didn't like him? Of course, it was because Shimizu was too handsome.

Then, half forced, half voluntarily, Shimizu Koji completed the achievement of passing Teitan High School's Kendo Club alone with his sword.

However, unexpectedly, Shimizu Koji was not rejected by these people, but was directly given the glorious title of a talented newcomer of Teitan Kendo Club.

Maybe these young men in Teitan Kendo Club have decent character, or maybe they are conquered by martial arts. After all, killing one is a sin, but killing ten thousand is a hero, similar to the truth.

In short, there are too many details to delve into, and since then, no one has said anything when Shimizu Koji does not wear protective gear, and he has no senior airs.

Locker room.

"Shimizu, what do you want to drink? I'll ask Harada to bring it back from the vending machine."

Although he lost, Nohara Naoto walked in calmly and talked to Shimizu Koji who was changing clothes.

"No, I brought my own water cup. What's up, Mr. Nohara?"

Harada is a second-year boy in the Kendo Club and a senior of Koji Shimizu. Under normal circumstances, Nohara, a third-year student, should order Harada, and Harada should order Shimizu, a first-year student. But what Nohara said would not make people feel wrong.

However, Koji Shimizu did not have the habit of ordering or bullying people. He directly rejected Nohara's kindness and looked at him with some doubts.

He was relatively cold to the outside world. Even though he had been in the club for a month, he was still practicing swordsmanship in a corner most of the time, and his communication with other members was almost non-existent.

And Naoto Nohara only took the initiative to fight with him twice more, and the two were not familiar with each other. As the saying goes, no one comes to the temple for no reason. Koji Shimizu's eyes were also very clear - you'd better have something to do.

It's not that Shimizu Koji doesn't like dealing with people, but the continuous rebirths have made him numb. He has subconsciously regarded himself as a world traveler and doesn't want to form any friendship or love with these natives.

After all, as long as you don't have it, you won't feel pain and regret when you lose it.

At the beginning, he was just an ordinary boy from Blue Star. The first time he was reborn, he was hit by a truck and was brought to a war-torn world. Well, he didn't live for three days.

Then, Shimizu Koji began his rebirth journey, and except for his initial world, there was almost no world that allowed him to live for a week.

Constant rebirth made his personality more rational, or cold and indifferent. The brain processor seemed to be a superposition of several souls, but in summary, he was still a boy.

And this time, although he had been reborn or traveled for more than three years, the longest time, Shimizu Koji still maintained a cold temperament and alienated from the whole world.

"Shimizu, are you going to participate in the Kanto Tournament next month?" Naoto Nohara had already figured out Shimizu Koji's personality, so he didn't care about his attitude.

At first, he thought Shimizu Koji was a pretentious and arrogant kid, but after getting to know him, he found that Shimizu Koji was just like that.

What impressed Naoto Nohara the most was that a very beautiful young lady in the school confessed to Shimizu Koji, but Shimizu Koji ignored her and walked away without looking back.

He was shocked and speechless at the time, sighing and beating his chest, wishing he could replace her.

"Not interested."

After a little thought, Shimizu Koji knew what he was talking about, and then he ruthlessly rejected her again.

After receiving his answer, Naoto Nohara showed an expression that was not unexpected, somewhat thankful and somewhat unwilling.

Thankful that he did not directly acquiesce that Shimizu Koji would participate, which led to some unexpected problems later, but unwilling because without Shimizu Koji, their Teitan Kendo Club would only be eliminated in the first round at best.

Naoto Nohara wanted to say something else, but when he came to his senses, he saw that Shimizu Koji had packed up and was ready to leave.

He opened his mouth, but finally gave up the idea of ​​persuading him. Anyway, there was still more than a month left, so there was no rush.

——

"Shimizu-kun is back."

When he walked downstairs of his apartment building, someone suddenly greeted him. When he turned around, Shimizu Koji saw a woman in a uniform skirt looking at him with a bright smile.

The setting sun shone warmly, and the golden afterglow illuminated half of her face. At first glance, she looked like an angel bathed in a blazing fire.

Hirota Masami smiled and lifted her hair by her ears, and Shimizu Koji saw the handbag she was holding under her ribs and some vegetables and hot pot ingredients on the other side.

Undoubtedly, this was a coincidence, and it seemed that the other party just got off work.

"Ms. Hirota, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon."
