Chapter 680 Please, give me a quick death!
Ryo Iguchi put on his protective gear and stood in the middle of the field. While the referee was explaining, he quickly looked at Kyosuke Hojo on the opposite side.
The hand holding the knife did not tremble, but the standing posture was loose, and even the toes did not have the strength to grip the ground. The expression was good, but do you think that a blank expression can hide the fact that you are empty inside? Young people are still too immature.
He observed for a moment, and then felt that there was no need to be so cautious. Facing such a little guy who was weak and full of flaws after the explosion, he only needed to seize the section above the midline first.
"If the above attack hits Hojo Kyousuke's face, it doesn't matter even if he can defend himself, because his physical strength is on the verge of collapse at this moment. Just a little external force can completely defeat him..."
That’s right, that’s right. Iguchi Ryo was quite satisfied with his keen observation and judgment.
"Then I can wash away the shame of being beaten by Daidoji and become the biggest winner tonight."
"Yes, that's right!" Iguchi Ryo agreed subconsciously.
However, I was not pinned to the ground and beaten by Daidoji, but a normal ground-based combat. This is judo, and every dojo teaches it!
Um? wrong……
Thinking of this, Jingguchi Ryo turned around suddenly.
I...did I accidentally say what was in my heart just now?
No way! That's not me talking at all!
The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Beijo Kyosuke opposite him, and said in disbelief:
"You guy..."
"How do I know what you're thinking?"
Hojo Kyosuke smiled, raised his finger and pointed at his eyes, then said:
"Hurry up and start, Iguchi-san. Let's see if your tactics are effective and if I have exhausted my stamina."
"Wow—"
After receiving Iguchi Ryo's personal admission, the people in the audience immediately exclaimed.
"Can you really see through it?!"
"Not only can it detect attacks, but even its thoughts can be detected. Is this the "Magic Eye"!?"
"Mystic Eye, the most powerful weapon of the forgotten swordsman! Re-become the controller of the human slayer!"
A deep voice sounded, and everyone turned to see that it was the legendary bard.
"Magic Eye! Magic Eye!"
"Magic Eye! Magic Eye!"
The swordsmen all started to make a noise.
Jingguchi Ryo's face turned pale but he still said stubbornly:
"What a bullshit upper attack, I didn't plan that at all. I saw that Hojo-kun was fast just now, how could he make the same mistake as Daidoji!"
Although he spoke tough, he subconsciously avoided Hojo Kyosuke's eyes and felt a little uneasy.
Something is wrong. This guy is really a bit weird.
Hojo Kyosuke smiled and said nothing, just signaled that the competition should start quickly.
The fifth generation didn't say anything more and directly announced the start of the competition.
This time, even if he was unwilling, Iguchi Ryo had to look directly into Hojo Kyosuke's eyes, because if he didn't, he would have no idea when the other party would launch an attack, and he would completely lose the initiative.
The original plan remains unchanged. Even if this guy can really see through it, what does it matter? After bursting out with such huge power and speed, his physical strength will definitely not be enough, so we should use a fierce attack. And I just denied what he said, he must think that I will not attack in the upper part, but I insist on the original plan!
Iguchi Ryo was very satisfied with his own wisdom. After making up his mind, he roared and stepped forward.
"noodle!!"
With a loud shout, he raised his bamboo sword and chopped straight at Hojo Kyousuke's head. He was really going all out and showing no mercy. Maybe he could become a forgotten swordsman for once.
As for Hojo Kyosuke, he took a step back with his attacking right foot and escaped from the opponent's attack out of thin air.
One of the forty-three forms of Hokushin Ittoryu - "Earth-born Appearance Lower Stage"!
An attack from the bottom up is like a plant growing out of the earth. Even if there are heavy objects above, it cannot hinder its growth.
With his strength, he could actually just use a head-on collision to fend off the opponent, or use the breaking sword technique he learned from Katori Shinto-ryu to deflect the opponent's sword, but at this moment he has taken over the entrustment from Daidoji Masashi and represents Hokushin Ittoryu.
"Ah-ha!"
With a loud shout, Iguchi Ryo's bamboo sword was easily cut off. Realizing that the center line had been lost, his face changed and he quickly retreated his left foot while putting away his sword to defend.
At this time, all the disciples of Beichen Ittoryu present were delighted, because Iguchi Ryo's reaction perfectly matched the prediction of the opponent in the "Earth-born Phase Lower Stage". According to the routine, after successfully cutting off the opponent, they should chop the opponent's right hand, because the retreating opponent has perfectly exposed the flaw.
But to put it bluntly, the Kumitachi is also a routine. Although it is good to imagine, it is impossible to make the opponent cooperate with the performance like the senior brothers in practice. If you want the opponent to act as expected, you must rely on your own strength to force the opponent.
For example, at this moment, the angle and strength of the cut must be perfect. Only in this way can the opponent be forced to retreat and defend instead of counterattacking.
Hojo Kyosuke's cutting was naturally the best of the best. After Iguchi Ryo's bamboo sword was cut off, he could have chosen to stab with it, but because the angle of Hojo's attack was perfect, he would lose his balance if he wanted to move forward at this moment. He could only retreat to regain control of his body.
"hand!"
Hojo Kyosuke shouted loudly, and the muscles in Iguchi Ryo's hands immediately tensed up, ready to be chopped.
Even if you lose, you can't be like Daidoji and have your bamboo sword chopped off!
That’s what he thought, at least he had to defeat Daidoji Shoji here!
But the next second, he received a brutal blow on the head!
"what!"
Ryo Iguchi, who was completely unprepared for his head, screamed in agony. The distance and the pain made him fall to the ground.
"This……"
The fifth referee Chiba Seinosuke stopped raising his hand. What's going on? Can't we just chop off the hand and win? Even if you don't want to chop off the hand and want to hit the face, can't you just shout "face"?
According to the rules of Kendo, if the strike position is inconsistent with the shout, no points will be scored. The reason for this requirement is first to boost our momentum, second to prove that the result of hitting the opponent is not a coincidence, and third to determine the winner and prevent random fighting without any rules.
He looked at Hojo Kyosuke and questioned him with his eyes. With the strength that Hojo Kyosuke had shown before, he didn't believe that the opponent had called out or hit the wrong way. After all, Iguchi Ryo had already lost the center line at that time, and a child could hit him at will. The fact that Hojo Kyosuke could pick out the simplest routine of giving up the hand to look at the head was the best proof. There are ways to chop off the head, and the move "Earth-born Aspect Lower Stage" is most suitable for chopping off the hand.
"Oh, sorry for getting nervous."
Hojo Kyosuke bowed and spoke perfunctorily.
No one present believed this nonsense, but no one knew what he was doing.
Chiba Fifth Generation didn't say much, he just announced that the attack was invalid and started the next round.
"Dumb tape?"
Someone walked up to Jingkou Liang and shouted twice. The latter shook his head and said with a confused look:
"Oh, are we going to start the competition?"
"Yes, if there is no problem, we will start the second round."
"second round?"
"Yes."
Ryo Iguchi stood up, his body was still relatively steady. The reason he screamed just now was mainly because he was frightened, because all his attention was focused on his hands, and he was beheaded without any preparation. For a moment he thought he was going to die.
"You deserve it! Iguchi-san can actually stand up. He's really strong!"
The swordsmen watching the match were talking among themselves.
"But he seems to have lost his memory?"
"Have it?"
"I don't know, but why did Hojo-kun hit his face instead of cutting off his hands when there was such a good opportunity?"
A colleague was surprised that even a layman like him could see that Iguchi Ryo's center gate was open and he could score with a light hit on the hand, but Hojo Kyosuke still chose a farther and more difficult target to attack.
"Hum hum……"
A strange voice sounded, and everyone turned around and found that it was the legendary bard Zaimokuza Yoshiki.
"Ahem! Ahem! Don't you know what the title of my commander-in-chief is?!" he shouted.
My colleague immediately asked humbly, "Excuse me?"
"It's the 'Handless Devil'!"
"The Handless Devil? Yeah, I've heard of that. It seems to say that anyone who fights Hojo-kun won't be able to use chopsticks for a month."
The disciple of Hokushin Ittoryu nearby felt extremely proud after hearing this, and his sense of identification with Hojo Kyosuke became even stronger.
Cut it off, cut it off. Of course you have to chop off your hands before you cut it off, otherwise what's the point of cutting it off!
"NONONO!"
Zaimokuza shook his head:
"'Handless Demon' means that in the eyes of the commander-in-chief, all opponents are guys without hands, which means they have no ability to resist. To him, they are just rolled up bamboo mats!"
"Ohhh! I see!"
The audience was amazed. Onizuka Eikichi's eyes sparkled. He had never thought that the title he gave to his elder brother could be explained in this way! Only Hikigaya Hachiman sighed. He felt that he had to think of a eulogy for Zaimokuza before the holiday was over.
Hojo Kyosuke, who was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, naturally heard every word Zaimokuza said, and his face immediately turned dark.
When he decided to use only Beichen Ittoryu's tactics today, he worried whether he would bring that nickname to this higher-end circle. He wanted to not cut off his hand, but after hesitating for a moment he gave up. He had to make Beichen Ittoryu's disciples recognize him from the bottom of their hearts.
The reason why he didn't cut off his hand just now was simply to torture Iguchi Ryo for a while longer. This guy had done something despicable to Daidoji before, and he just wanted to use this guy to win people's hearts.
That's it.
"start!"
The Godaime will take action and announce the start of the second round.
Iguchi Ryo cheered up and his mind became clearer. He felt that he was being plotted against by Hojo Kyosuke, who used psychological tactics to make him launch an upper attack!
but……
He shook his head and felt fine.
So, after beating Nishimura to the point of losing his memory and chopped Daidoji away, Hojo Kyosuke really had no strength left!
This time, he pretended to change his tactics and attacked by chopping off his hands, but he actually still hit his face, hitting him hard on the head, causing him to lose his memory as well!
"What? You haven't given up yet, Iguchi-san? Still want to hit me on the head? That won't work. I suggest you be more flexible. Since I could walk, the only person who can hit me on the head is my mother. You may not have such an opportunity."
A sudden laugh was heard. It was Hojo Kyosuke. He looked at Iguchi Ryo opposite him and thought that this guy had a very strange train of thought. He actually wanted to chop off his head.
This guy's intention to attack was so obvious that he didn't even have the heart to expose it.
While the audience was laughing at Hojo Kyosuke's words, they were also observing Iguchi Ryo's reaction, wanting to see if he had been seen through by the "magic eye" again. Unfortunately, this guy's face was blocked by the mask.
Jingguchi Ryo was horrified, but he still kept his mouth shut: "Humph, there will be one more person from today!"
"He's finished."
Mitsuha Miyamizu sighed softly, lamenting the guy's future fate.
Superintendent Takenaka, who was standing next to him, immediately asked curiously, "Why? Is what Hojo-kun said true? Didn't his father teach him a lesson? And kendo teachers always have to hit the face during practice, right?"
"Actually, what Kyousuke said is a little wrong. His mother, Aunt Mikiko, has never hit him on the head. As for Uncle Ichiro..."
Mitsuha hesitated to speak, she felt that if Uncle Ichiro really wanted to teach Kyosuke a lesson, he would definitely be taught a lesson by Aunt Mikiko first. The girl's mind had already emerged with the scene of Aunt Mikiko slapping Uncle Ichiro and yelling, "Huh? You still want to hit my baby son?! I can't even bear to hit you, how dare you!?"
"As for kendo learning, I think I can tell you something. Kyousuke first learned kendo from me."
Yamamura Ono raised his hand:
"I have never been able to defeat this guy since he started learning kendo, even though he was still very weak at that time. Every time I was about to hit him, he would immediately lower his head and charge at me. I told him that it was a foul, but he would say something like, 'Why would I care if it's a foul when I don't even have a head!'"
When he said this, he couldn't help laughing. The memories of the past were so happy.
"That kid had a clear goal from the beginning. He learned kendo just for fighting."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
This remark caused all the bigwigs around to laugh out loud. The innocence of children is always so interesting.
Only Sanye knew that this guy was truly a man of action and knowledge. He learned kendo to make Aunt Mikiko feel at ease about his safety. After he became a master of kendo, he came to Tokyo. In order to have a stable learning environment, he immediately killed the people of the rampaging angel. In order to ensure the safety of his subordinates, he killed hundreds of people...
Modern Kendo does protect his opponent.
While they were chatting and laughing here, Jinguchi Ryo had been chopped down three times over there.
Hojo Kyosuke used the "Rolling Cloud" and "Floating" from the 43 forms of Hokushin Ittoryu, and the "Moon Shadow" which was the only active attack. The latter was a sword-drawing technique, but he made a slight change and used it.
Each move was extremely standard, forcing the opponent to offer his hands according to the routine like a practice puppet.
But the only problem was that he never chopped it down once. Every time he shouted "hand", the bamboo sword fell on Iguchi Ryo's head.
Aaaaaahhh, sorry, sorry.
Thank you for your monthly votes, recommendation votes and reward support. Thank you.
