Chapter 93 The Game Begins!
The first day of the Kanto Tournament was all about the high school group.
There were 32 participating schools in total, and the team and individual competitions were directly divided into the morning and afternoon.
Due to the special nature of the kendo competition venue, this time it was held in such a large venue. In order to facilitate the audience to watch and to speed up the progress of the competition, before the semi-finals of the team competition, multiple schools competed at the same time.
"First game!"
"Saitama Junior High School in Saitama Prefecture vs. Midoriya Junior High School in Chiba Prefecture!"
"Teitan Junior High School in Tokyo vs. Todai Junior High School in Tokyo!"
"Haikoto Junior High School in Tokyo vs. Kamosho Junior High School in Gunma Prefecture!"
"By"
The large competition venue was divided into four sections, with smooth floors. The contestants all stood barefoot, wearing protective gear and face masks on their bodies. Although it was a bit inconvenient, it was indeed very oppressive.
With the announcement of the referee, a total of 24 people from eight teams lined up to enter from four directions.
Cheers from the audience instantly rang out. The first game is often the most anticipated by everyone, although it is also an indescribable pain for many schools that are eliminated in the first round.
Shimizu Koji was not nervous at all at this time, nor was he worried about losing too badly. After he learned about Dongda Affiliated High School, he knew that the opponent was a famous school of top students.
Naturally, their kendo club’s strength and previous results are not much stronger than Teitan.
After Shimizu Koji’s test yesterday, although Sakata Ryosuke’s level is relatively average, Nohara Naoto has made good progress as a high school student after fighting with him many times.
I don’t know how many rounds I can advance to, but I won’t get a good draw and still be eliminated in the first round.
The teams of the eight schools walked to their respective competition venues. As the first in line of Teitan, Shimizu Koji took the lead and stood in the center of the venue with a wooden sword in hand.
The rest of the people sat in the preparation seat and waited.
Because they were all wearing masks and protective gear, they couldn’t see who was who. Only the clothes on their backs had names.
Therefore, when Shimizu Koji and his opponent stood on their respective half courts, there was no chance to greet each other and get to know each other.
A middle-aged man in a black referee uniform stood in the middle of the field with a serious face, one hand raised above his head.
"Shimizu!!"
"Come on!"
In the audience, the students of Teitan had of course been paying attention to the situation on the field. When they saw that their own game was about to start, a girl immediately took the lead in cheering.
Although this situation is generally not allowed, the Kanto competition was chosen at this venue and new changes were made to make the atmosphere of the kendo competition hot.
On the other side, the students of Dongda High School, across the half court, immediately cheered and cheered.
However, other schools were quieter. Compared with Shimizu Koji's high popularity, which could make some girls desperate, the people of the kendo clubs of other schools did not have this special treatment.
"Start!"
With a loud shout, the referee waved his hand and chopped down, and withdrew from the field.
The cheering of the audience in the audience had not stopped in time, and only a black afterimage flashed!
"Face!"
Kouji Shimizu's voice was without any emotion, and his bamboo sword had instantly hit the opponent's visor.
The referee on the side widened his eyes, blinked more than a dozen times in a row, and finally reacted, raising his hand to indicate a valid score.
Under normal circumstances, Koji Shimizu needs at least three points to win a game, but that's normal.
Although Koji Shimizu didn't use any ruthless hands, he only used a moderate amount of strength to hit the opponent's visor, which made the opponent's players dizzy.
At this moment, he was slumped on the ground with a completely lost image, holding his head. It was not difficult to see from his movements that he was dizzy and couldn't find the direction.
"Takezawa lost the ability to fight again! Teitan Middle School vs. Todai Affiliated Middle School in the first game, Teitan Shimizu won!"
As the referee announced, the two players from Todai Affiliated Middle School hurriedly entered the field regardless of their image and carried their teammates, no, the minister out.
It was visible to the naked eye that their legs were shaking a little, because normally, the average players were in the front, but their captain also felt that it was too embarrassing to be eliminated in the first round or lose right at the beginning, so he put himself in the front.
But this——, with one sword, in less than a second, their strongest captain was beaten so hard that he couldn't tell which way was which.
In this situation, the remaining two players of Dongda High School were dumbfounded. What kind of fight is this!
If it was the Jade Dragon Flag, they would have lost without even seeing the opponent's general.
After high-fiving Nohara Naoto to complete the handover, Shimizu Koji could see through the mask that this guy was gloating and couldn't close his mouth.
As soon as he sat down, Sakata Ryosuke immediately explained to him in a low voice: "The one just now was the captain of the Kendo Club of Dongda High School. Their players have almost lost confidence."
Shimizu Koji only then understood why Nohara Naoto was laughing so happily.
The audience was silent at this time, and the cheering students of Dongda High School were completely confused, and saw their own Kendo Club captain being carried off the field.
It was still clearer on the field, but in the audience, most of the audience was really confused, and even the Teitan side could not avoid this.
After all, although everyone knew that Shimizu Koji was strong, this way of winning with one sword was a bit too shocking for high school students.
What a powerful strength this must be!
Is this exciting? ? It was so exciting that most people couldn't understand it.
In the audience, there were not only students, but also adults and interested spectators. Those who noticed Shimizu Koji's match just now were also dumbfounded and completely shocked.
With great strength, there will be many talented players like this in a few years, but that kind of speed, that kind of speed that seemed like a flash of lightning, is definitely a super-level powerful strength.
"So strong, that boy!"
"It turned out to be from Teitan, no wonder, no wonder they chose to participate this time!"
"Incredible! Too incredible! That boy's sword must have at least the speed of a fifth-level, no! Even a sixth-level swordsman can have it!"
In the stands, most of the audience were shocked, but some people who didn't see it didn't know what it meant, and one person was quite dissatisfied.
Michiko Tetsu frowned. Shimizu Koji's sword just now still couldn't escape the category of powerful bricks flying. After all, it was only one day.
However, she could understand that for such an opponent, Shimizu Koji didn't need to use any sword intent at all.
But she didn't come here to watch such a kendo match, which was too boring. As expected, she had watched too few matches and shouldn't have any interest in the match of high school students.
Instead of watching such a match, it's better to chat with the little girl next to her.
But when she lowered her head, Tie Michiko found that Huihara Ai was also watching the match over there, and she was very focused, not like what Huihara Ai said, that she was not interested in kendo.
She looked more like Zhu Yu——
Tie Michiko couldn't move her eyes away. If it wasn't for the little girl being so cold, she would even reach out and touch her head at this time.
And just when she was about to speak to Huihara Ai.
Suddenly, a plainclothes female bodyguard bent over and walked over quickly from the side, whispering:
"Madam, there is an unexpected situation."
