Chapter 665 I'm Not Here to Play House with You
First, Hojo Kyosuke had a war with a bad group entrenched in Shinjuku, and soon after that, the first serialized comic "One Punch Man" was launched. Then Hojo Kyosuke had a war with the emerging group Toman, and soon after, the new work "Attack on Titan" was released. Finally, the most recent new work, Hojo Kyosuke fought against the yakuza group Yamazakura Group. After he disbanded the group, only a few days later, he released the sensational "Dream and Death of Writer K".
As an intelligence collector at Nomura Securities, after having doubts in his mind, my colleague quickly summarized such a timeline from the intelligence collected on the Internet.
The others around him shuddered when they heard this.
Although I know that writers have all kinds of quirks, it is rare to find one as severe as Hojo Kyosuke. Is he looking for inspiration by killing people? He destroyed a Yakuza organization to win the Mystery Association Award. Will he have to fight the Yamaguchi Sumiyoshi-kai directly to win the Minister of Education Award next time? If he wins the Nobel Prize, won't he have to kill the Self-Defense Forces?
"But that's not right..."
Nakahashi, who is also an intelligence agent, thought about it and said:
"Hojo-sensei has published more than just these works, and you omitted a lot of them. If your guess is to be true, there should be more than just these victims, so this should be a coincidence. After all, even if nothing happened, it wouldn't affect Hojo-sensei's chopping... finding someone to practice kendo, right?"
oh~~~
So that's how it is. The others all breathed a sigh of relief. The violence that erupted just to find inspiration was really terrible. Unprovoked violence was still more friendly, um... maybe.
My colleague also scratched his head, thinking that he might have become a middle school student after seeing such a passionate scene in the dojo.
While everyone was heatedly discussing how strong Hojo Kyosuke was, Kanhara Michizane, who had just boasted about his brother's first place in the competition, fell silent.
From the casual words of others, Guan Yuan seemed to have discovered the secret that had been buried for years.
It turns out that every day or two before the release of "Weekly Shonen High", the general manager would pull everyone to practice crazily. It's not a coincidence...
Is it that the president can't bear the pressure from the magazine? No, the president is not that kind of fragile person.
So... while the General Manager is feeling the deadline, he also wants everyone to experience the horror of death?
"In other words, everyone gathered here today, including the bigwigs from the Kendo Federation and the Metropolitan Police Department, is here for Hojo-kun?" asked a colleague.
"Yes, before, the designated agent of Hokushin Ittoryu, Naito Akifumi, had been provoking major dojos and kendo masters on various occasions, inviting them to come to the dojo today to see the power of their super genius Hojo Kyousuke. If it was just that, everyone would just treat it as a joke and laugh it off, although what he said was very irritating. But..."
A kind-hearted person nearby explained that these small characters came here just to join in the fun, so naturally they had to share the inside information they knew, and it would be lively enough if everyone talked more.
"…But at this very moment, the head of the Hokushin Ittoryu family, Yoichiro Otsuka, suddenly announced that the next master of the Okemachi Chiba Dojo would be selected tonight. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that the head was endorsing what the spokesperson for their school, Officer Naito, had said…"
"After talking for so long, it turns out that those who had conflicts with Beichen Ittoryu in the past want to take advantage of today's opportunity to see if they can cause trouble for them. Everyone is waiting to see a joke, and if there is no joke, they don't mind personally making a couple of jokes."
Guan Yuan Daozhen next to him interrupted:
"See that guy over there with the red mark on his kendo uniform and the shiny hair? That's the leader of the Fuji Xerox Group's kendo club, a powerful swordsman who won the national team championship when he was in college, Ryo Iguchi.
And the man over there with two women beside him is NTT's general, the genius Natsume Yuto who graduated from Tokyo's super powerful dojo Toshomakan.
The man who looked to be in his forties and was wearing a black kendo uniform, was a member of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and had won the individual championship in two police tournaments.
The one wearing the grey suit and looking very annoying is from the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Kendo Club. Their group has its own dojo, which is only three stops away from the company headquarters. There are 120 members in the club. Just imagine how terrifying it would be if 120 people were fighting in such a huge company.
The guy who was talking to me about oolong tea, idiot! It wasn't Asahi oolong tea, it was Suntory oolong tea. The guy was the general of the Osaka Prefectural Police, Masaru Miyazaki, who was on a business trip in Tokyo so he came too. I don't need to introduce the Osaka Prefectural Police to you. They won the police championship three times in a row and are known as the strongest in Japan.
The person who was talking next to him, Ichiro Nagase from Neon Express Group, set up his own dojo right in the company's headquarters building. While others were drinking coffee and smoking, they were fighting in the dojo, and then they returned to the office when it was time to go to work. Just imagine how powerful people who have been trained in this way are!
The one who is wiping the bamboo sword with a towel is a teacher at Hokkaido Tokai University Fourth Junior High School. His personal best result has already reached second place in the national competition, and there is enormous room for improvement.
And over there..."
Guan Yuan Daozhen introduced the strong men gathered in this dojo one by one, and even listed their battle records like the back of his hand.
The colleague next to him was stunned, and felt as if he had accidentally entered an extraordinary world. He was not surprised why these people were either employees of large companies, police officers, or teachers.
Obviously, except for the police, the other two don't seem to be related to violent activities like kendo. But in fact, this is not the case. These three professions can be said to be the best career paths for people who have practiced kendo since childhood after completing their studies.
As long as you have outstanding kendo skills in high school or college, you can easily knock on the door of a large group, but this also requires certain academic qualifications. Not to mention teachers, a fool like Onitsuka can enter the university and work hard to become a teacher with his performance in the National High School Kendo Competition, so how can others not do it? Moreover, if you become a consultant or instructor of the school's kendo club, you will not only get an extra salary, but also have more time to practice kendo.
Guan Yuandao talked for a long time, and what was most admirable was that he didn't even look at the notebook, which meant that he had memorized all the information.
When he finished speaking, Zhongqiao had already accepted the water sent by Senior An Teng with both hands, and then he asked:
"Then according to the wisdom of our predecessors, who is the strongest among these masters present? Can you help me solve this question?"
"The strongest?"
Guan Yuan Daozhen hesitated for less than a second before speaking:
"I'm not sure who is the strongest, but the top three people here are, first, the criminal officer Mr. Daidoji Masaru, then the Osaka Prefectural Police General Masaru Miyazaki, and then Ichiro Nagase who won the All-Japan Industrial Team Competition of the Express Group. The three of them can definitely compete for the top three."
Although there was also the sixth generation head of Hokushin Ittoryu, Otsuka Yoichiro, who was sitting on the side like a Maitreya Buddha, no one mentioned him at all, even though he was already an eighth-degree master of kendo. After all, this is not cultivation, and there is no such thing as getting stronger with age. In a few years, this head will have to be careful about being robbed by elementary school students on the street, which is really laughable.
Guan Yuan Daozhen's words caused dissatisfaction among several people. They all felt that their eldest brother was not the strongest but he was definitely ranked in the top three. However, more people expressed their approval. After all, the historical records of these three people were indeed the most impressive among all the people present.
At this time, Zhongqiao's colleague suddenly asked:
"this……"
"Guan Yuan Daozhen, a criminal justice officer." Guan Yuan Daozhen introduced himself and exchanged business cards with the people around him. No one can say for sure whether he or someone around him will need the help of a criminal justice officer in the future, so it is better to be prepared.
"Senior Guan Yuan, what time did you come to the dojo? How do you know it so clearly?" asked my colleague.
"Seven o'clock!" Guan Yuandaozhen answered generously.
"You're here already at seven in the morning?" Everyone around opened their mouths in surprise.
"Why are you here so early?"
"Of course, it's to see Hojo-sama. I hope to see a lot of him and have him imprinted firmly in my eyes."
Guan Yuan Daozhen held his head high and looked down on everyone. These guys who only wanted to show off their power as the big brother had no idea how deep the love of the members of their Rampage Angels was for the president!
Not only did he record all the people worth noting at the scene, he also collected the opponent's fighting habits, and when the general came, he would report it. Even with the general's strength, he could easily win even without this information. But with his own information, that adult should be able to win more handsomely, right?
"..."
Colleagues and Zhongqiao looked at each other and saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
If such a guy becomes a criminal officer, can he really manage criminals? Is there any hope for the future of Japan?
If his Lord Hojo became a criminal, then Mr. Kanhara Michizane would definitely steal the weapons in the prison to help overthrow and conquer him, right?
Although they complained in their hearts, everyone had a little more expectations for Hojo Kyosuke, a man they had never met before.
On the other side, at the center of everyone's discussion, there was a line of strong men, Daidoji Masashi.
This giant, who was two meters tall, was surrounded by a dozen people in the center.
"Daodaiji, the Hokushin Ittoryu that you have guarded for more than ten years will be renamed as someone else's name today. Can I ask how you feel now?"
A harsh voice sounded, not only was the content provocative, but the tone was also extremely frivolous.
Daidoji, who was talking to his fellow apprentices, turned around, frowned, and asked in a cold voice:
"who are you?"
"who I am?!"
The person who spoke took a deep breath, frowned, and said angrily:
"I'm Nishimura Ryuta, the one you defeated in the semi-finals of the last national tournament!"
"Oh."
Daidoji nodded, then turned around as if he hadn't heard the other party's words at all and continued chatting with his fellow disciples.
"Oh?! Is this your only reaction? Facing an opponent who was once only one move away from defeating you, I think you should give me basic respect! Or is it that you, who are about to lose your status as the heir to the dojo, have already found it difficult to maintain even the most basic decency?"
Nishimura Ryuta said angrily.
Daidoji Masashi still had no expression on his face, and even the scar that ran across his entire cheek showed no emotion. He was over two meters tall and sat cross-legged on the ground, looking like an Acala.
The eldest brother did not speak. A Beichen Itori disciple beside him chuckled and said:
"For those who have tasted defeat at your hands, you should ignore them and not let them recall the pain they once felt. This is the greatest respect that Senior Brother Daidoji can show."
"Stick and destroy..."
Nishimura Ryuta was so angry that he was dumbfounded. Are all of you Beichen Ittoryu so arrogant? How can a nobody talk so irritatingly?
"Look at me today with the eyes of yesterday. This is your greatest achievement, Daidoji Masaji. You who have committed the sin of arrogance may not wait for that Hojo Kyosuke to take the throne today. Now, respond to my challenge. In front of many fellow kendo practitioners, I will help Senior Otsuka Yoichiro to prove that you, Daidoji Masaji, are not capable enough to support the name of Hokushin Ittoryu!"
Nishimura Ryuta stood up and spoke loudly, attracting everyone around him to turn their heads, including the sixth generation of Beichen Ittoryu and the bigwigs around him.
“Is this an appetizer?”
A high-ranking official of the Metropolitan Police Department chuckled and spoke, not angry at the noise of the younger generation. This person is the head of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Toyama Ginzo.
The Chief Inspector spoke, and everyone else, whether they were group directors or others, gave him face and agreed with him with a smile. After all, he was basically the person with the highest official rank among those present.
"It would be nice if I could add some fun to your waiting time."
The Maitreya-like Yoichiro Otsuka said with a smile, then waved his hand and called a disciple over to give him a few instructions.
Over there, facing Nishimura Ryuta's challenge, Daidoji Masashi remained expressionless, truly as still as a mountain. However, the disciple who had just spoken for the senior brother stood up and said:
"If you can't prove your strength on me, then don't let Senior Brother show his respect."
This guy's mouth is also quite sharp, every word he says is sharp, he is just short of pulling Nishimura Ryuta's ear and yelling "How dare you, a defeated general, challenge my senior brother! I'm here to get rid of you!"
Just as Nishimura Ryuta was about to speak, a messenger from the sixth generation of Beichen Ittoryu arrived. Without saying a word, the guy asked everyone to sit in a circle to serve as an arena, with a gap facing the side where the police sergeant and other important figures were.
Now Nishimura didn't dare to pester him anymore. Anyway, as long as he defeated this brat, wouldn't Daidoji have to come out to fight? (End of this chapter)
