Chapter 684: Osaka Prefectural Police’s Martial Morality

"Is it okay?"

Hojo Kyosuke extended his hand to Nagase Ichiro, who grabbed it neatly and stood up.

"If it were my body, I'd be grateful to Hojo-kun for showing mercy, and I could fight again."

Nagase Ichiro smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"But I don't have the will to fight anymore. The gap is just too big."

At this point, thinking of what he said before, the man couldn't help but feel embarrassed:

"Hojo-kun is truly an honest man. I am ashamed that I said such ridiculous things before."

"Hahahaha~"

Hojo Kyosuke smiled cheerfully and patted the other person's shoulder. He didn't care at all:

"Humans are limited creatures. It is difficult for them to accept things that are beyond their own cognition, let alone a young and promising person like Nagase-kun."

Nagase Ichiro felt better after hearing this. Just as he was about to say a few more good words about Hojo Kyousuke, he heard the boy opposite him say:

"Like I said before, my victory is not because you are too weak, but because I am too strong, stronger than everyone else. So losing to me is not something to be ashamed of."

"..."

His smile froze, and Nagase Ichiro was silent for a second, then nodded in agreement. Losing to an opponent who was inferior to oneself was something to be ashamed of, but...

"Yeah, isn't it natural to lose to a strong man like Hojo-kun?"

He said this with considerable agreement, and these words instantly caused the disciples of the Rage Angel and Beichen Ittoryu to have a much better impression of him.

During the break, the two chatted for a while and first talked about the moves that Hojo Kyosuke used to defeat him just now. The guy did not disappoint and told him very honestly that he did not use any special moves, he just had great speed and power, and the opponent's bamboo sword looked like it was still in his eyes.

"It's just a simple matter of raising the bamboo sword, cutting it, and striking it."

Hojo Kyosuke explained with a smile, and after he finished speaking, he probably felt that his words were perfunctory, so he thought for a moment and further explained:

“As we all know, a cat’s reaction speed is seven times faster than a cat’s, and I’m seven times faster than a cat’s.”

Isn't the reaction speed of a cat the same as that of a cat?

Some people were confused, but did not say it out loud, thinking that Hojo-kun had said something wrong.

As soon as this explanation was given, it was immediately followed by everyone. Japanese people really find it hard to resist such weird stories. If a top student who got the top score in the grade told everyone that she did it all through hard work, people would despise her as a nerd and think she is not sociable. But if she is someone who sleeps in class every day and never studies, then everyone will only envy and admire her, think she is a genius, and follow her crazily.

Well, for details, please refer to Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha, which are very typical examples. Kasumigaoka Utaha is a complete demon in front of strangers. In the three years of high school, more than three digits of people confessed to her and were scolded and cried. However, the fact that there are still three digits of people confessing to her shows how popular she is. And Yukinoshita Yukino, who is also excellent in both character and learning... well, talented and beautiful, even the person sitting in front of her dares not talk to her, and the teacher has to be trembling in class for fear of giving the wrong lesson.

The son of a politician becomes a politician, and the son of a banker becomes a banker. Japanese people have long accepted the fact that people are different over countless years, so they only envy those with extraordinary talents.

Rather than admitting that they are not as hardworking as others, they prefer to believe that their failure is due to innate deficiencies.

Then Nagase Ichiro began to ask Hojo Kyosuke how he trained. This topic was very popular, and even Inspector Takenaka and others came to talk. Because the top swordsman of Neon Kendo, Ninety-nine Shinku, said:

"Let me tell you an inside story that everyone in the college world knows. Dongcheng High School, which has won three consecutive national championships, was a school struggling to qualify before Hojo-kun became its instructor. After Hojo-kun became its instructor, Dongcheng directly achieved its goal of dominating the country and successfully broke through school history."

Kenichi Takenaka knew that he would have to wait at least seven years if he wanted to recruit Hojo Kyosuke under his command. For such a genius, getting admitted to the University of Tokyo was an absolutely essential step, but it was not necessary to use the other party's genius to enhance his own future.

There is a position in the Japanese police system called "special training officer", which is responsible for special training of police officers in the art of war. There are many arts, but the most important one is kendo.

There is a saying in Japan that goes "Practicing kendo to perfection is equivalent to becoming a policeman." Simply translated, if you are good at kendo, you can become a policeman. This is also the most direct path for kendo practitioners to be promoted.

For someone like Hojo Kyosuke who already has great influence in high school, it would be a waste if he only engages in kendo competitions in the future. After he joins our Tokyo University faction, he will definitely go into politics. This is the right path.

But if he not only possesses extraordinary power, but is also good at teaching apprentices, then wouldn't it be possible to let him help me train my subordinates now? This is also equivalent to paving the way for him in advance. Now that he has not graduated yet, he can contribute to his superiors and teach his apprentices. When he graduates from university and joins the Metropolitan Police Department, he will have a smooth journey. Who would be angry with him if his former apprentice became his superior?

It’s a total win-win situation!

So after hearing the testimony of people including Chief Arisugawa, Superintendent Takenaka immediately made this suggestion and invited Hojo Kyosuke to become a special trainee of his Eighth Convenient Headquarters. Fearing that Hojo Kyosuke was too young to understand the benefits, he also explained it bluntly.

But how could Hojo Kyosuke not understand? Kisaki had already told him countless times. Sending those who could not study and only knew how to fight to become police officers was part of their plan. Now Hojo Kyosuke himself could actually start building connections in the police system so early. Kisaki Tetsuta was so amused when he knew this. What's more, this was an olive branch extended by the Superintendent of Police.

Someone immediately nodded in agreement, but still explained in advance that he still needed to prepare for school and creation, and did not have much time to teach the police officers. Superintendent Takenaka also smiled and said that learning and creation were more important. After all, it was just a part-time job, and it would be best if he could achieve results, but it didn't matter if he didn't.

However, Hojo Kyosuke then proposed a solution. He did not have time to facilitate training at the headquarters, but if the police officers needed training, they could go to his dojo, and he would instruct the members of the school's kendo club while also instructing the police officers.

Then he introduced his unique teaching method.

"There's nothing special about it. I just practice with them every day, by myself, and beat them all."

As he spoke he opened his palm as if to show what was in it, but there was nothing there.

"But I'm too strong. Once they get used to my intensity, it will be much easier for them to face other opponents."

The voice was very calm.

Looking at this young man sitting cross-legged with his back straight and his palms outstretched, everyone knew that he did not let go, but was holding on to the strength.

"I have a deep feeling about this. If I can fight with Hojo-kun every day, even if my skills don't improve at all, my spiritual training will definitely improve greatly."

Ichiro Nagase sighed, saying that all martial arts claim to be good for physical and mental health, and this is not a lie. If a person can fight back with all his strength when facing a knife, will he still be afraid when being dragged into an alley to borrow money?

If he can remain calm when facing a monster like Hojo Kyosuke, will he still be nervous and panicky when facing opponents of the level of Nishimura Ryuta and Iguchi Ryo?

Nagase Ichiro has made up his mind to transfer his son, who is already in the second year of high school, to Hojo Kyosuke's school, so that he can drink tea with Hojo's fingernail dirt. Anyway, his son's academic performance is so-so, and he will definitely rely on kendo to get a job in the future.

Chief Inspector Takenaka was a little hesitant about this somewhat unconventional operation, but Chief Arisugawa, who had already visited Hojo Kyosuke's dojo with his subordinates and had seen how they trained, spoke up first:

"The Neon Metropolitan Police Department was previously known as the "Hell Dojo". I think it won't be long before your dojo will replace it. After all, their dojo only got this name because the fighting was too intense, and Hojo's dojo has real demons."

While joking, he talked about the cooperation between the police station and the dojo, saying that a portion of the police station's funds would be used to support the operation of the dojo, and the training fees would also be calculated separately, as a little support for the Neon Kendo business.

Upon hearing this, Chief Inspector Takenaka no longer hesitated and quickly agreed to Hojo Kyosuke's request, saying that he did not need to come to the branch to work, but instead let the police officers go to his dojo for training.

The leaders of many nearby companies also said that they would add Hojo Kyosuke's dojo to the company's cooperation list, and would give priority to contacting him if there were any team-building or training needs in the future.

All the guests were delighted at once, and everyone was laughing like sunflowers.

"So, after we practice, we can invite the police to go racing with us?"

Hata Goro asked blankly, not quite understanding how things were going.

"Idiot, they are classmates, not police officers!"

Onizuka Eikichi corrected him, looking at him with envy, secretly hating himself for having to go to Kanagawa to study at university. Was it because there was no school in Tokyo that was willing to accept him?

The disciples of Beichen Ittoryu were also a little confused after hearing what they heard.

"Um... shouldn't Hojo-kun come to Okemachi Chiba Dojo to teach us in practice in the future?"

Jiu Neng Tianyin asked with a grunt.

Beichen Ittoryu disciples' mental journey updated: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and we have been conquered both physically and mentally, but it seems that our emperor prefers the old country..."

"It seems that we need to change the place where we pay our membership fees in the future?" asked someone nearby.

"Can I return this year's?"

The chaotic noises made Daidoji Masashi want to vomit blood. How come there was a yellow-haired man who wanted to move Hokushin Ittoryu to Germany, and then another yellow-haired man who wanted to pry Hokushin Ittoryu away?

No, Hojo-kun is not a yellow-haired man. These unpromising junior brothers of his are the ones who can't wait to follow him. Hojo-kun clearly doesn't care.

I’m tired. Big Brother is very tired.

The sixth generation Otsuka Yoichiro beside him was also terrified. Does he still have a chance to drive Hojo Kyosuke away? Even if he drives him away, what will be left for his son-in-law?

He began to regret why he invited so many people from the Hokushin Ittoryu clan. Wasn't this just making things difficult for Hojo Kyosuke?

Fortunately, he was comforted by the fact that his good son-in-law, the excellent German, still stood firm and urged him to let Hojo Kyosuke start the next game as soon as possible.

Yes, even if Nagase Ichiro and Miyazaki Masaru are not opponents of Hojo Kyosuke, but the youngest eighth-level swordsman in Japan, Mr. Ninety-nine True Red, will definitely defeat Hojo Kyosuke. After all, how can a student fight a teacher? The status directly suppresses the teacher!

"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting here. Miyazaki-kun has been waiting for a long time. Let's start the next one."

The old man Maitreya clapped his hands and shouted.

"..."

Hearing this, Miyazaki cursed in his heart, thinking, why don't you do it yourself? I think you are anxious, right? Bastard!

But he didn't say anything, because looking at the eyes around him that had already determined that he was going to lose, he felt very angry.

The Osaka Prefectural Police is well-known in Japan for its martial virtues, and is known for eating five gangsters in one meal. Other prefectures' police recruitment ads look like idol recruitments or TV dramas, but the Osaka Prefectural Police is serious about recruiting people to fight crime.

There's a picture of abdominal muscles saying "Being a herbivore is not as good as being an Osaka prefectural police officer", a patrolman pointing at a thief and saying "Go! Here's your chance to prove your strength!" Or there's a picture of dozens of muscular men with fat faces and thick arms lined up in a V shape, with the words "Realization of social justice!"

Even if he is going to lose, he wants everyone to see the awareness of the Osaka police!

He stood up silently, walked to the center of the field, and confirmed the rules of the game once again.

There are many types of kendo competitions in Japan. Formal competitions are divided into general rules and police kendo, which is the kind that allows tripping. General jiko is also divided into "kata" jiko and "bamboo sword penetration" jiko, which probably uses wooden swords and bamboo swords. In addition, there is pre-war kendo, which has no taboos and has more open rules than police kendo. After tripping, you can directly attack with judo.

As soon as Miyazaki said this, the swordsmen present immediately understood what he meant by looking at his bear-like sturdy figure. He was going to play a grudge match with Hojo Kyousuke, and the atmosphere in the dojo suddenly became heated.

The fifth generation looked at the tall, handsome and well-proportioned reincarnation founder, and then looked at Miyazaki Masaru who looked very much like the Black Society. He opened his mouth to defend his founder, but Hojo Kyosuke had already smiled and said:

"If Miyazaki-san has any way to win, please tell me." (End of this chapter)
