163 Ten Wins, The Dominator Of Sayuka Kyu High School (1/2)

At ten o'clock, Kimura Kazuki was rushing toward District C. He had watched Harunaka's battle, and it wasn't too shabby.

Generally, practicing during the competition time would not help one to gain much improvement. But Harunaka did improve every day, and he knew this was not an illusion, but it really did happen. This showed that the Harunaka absolutely had a knack for Kendo.

And this had pushed him to make a decision.

At this moment, he was thinking about Akino's short-term goal and had asked about it just now. But what Akino said was astonishing: she hoped that her game could gain a sale of 500,000 yen on Steam.

Although he didn't know whether this goal was an easy or a tough one, he was still considering his role in it.

Unfortunately... he didn't come up with any ideas so far.

As he was thinking, Kimura Kazuki paused his steps. This was because a person was blocking his way.

He lifted his head and saw a youthful, unfamiliar face. He had fair skin, a handsome face, and some arrogance between his eyebrows.

”Are you a descendant of the Yagyu Flying Sword Style?” Ikioi Ito also had a Tachi strapped around his waist, but it was different from Kimura Kazuki's. He wore it merely to look cool. So when he saw Kimura Kazuki carrying the Sun and Moon Sword, he acted as if he was confronted by a formidable enemy.

”Who are you?”

”Let me introduce myself, I'm Ikioi Ito from the Ito family.” Ikioi Ito gazed at Kimura Kazuki's face and seemed to be wondering why this person was so famous when he is without a handsome face.

”Do you need anything from me?” Kimura Kazuki was baffled. The Ito family, if not mistaken, was one of the Big Eight of Japanese Kendo. He took a glance at him. High school students aren't mature, especially guys. Is this fellow here to talk tough to me?

But obviously, Kimura Kazuki guessed wrong.

Ikioi Ito cough softly, ”You see... my family has properties in the entertainment industry. I observed you recently and noticed that you are very popular on the internet so I would like to invite you to team up with me and develop toward the idol industry. Based on your popularity and my visuals, together with our Kendo abilities, I believe that we will become popular all around the world very soon.”

???

Kimura Kazuki was first gazing at the person as if he was staring at a fool. He would've been more comfortable if Ikioi were spouting harsh words.

”What do you think?” Ikioi Ito did not realize what Kimura Kazuki's expression in his eyes meant, obviously.

Kimura Kazuki didn't refuse directly as he knew that this kind of foolish... Chunibyo would not change his attitude. When he was a freshman, he had punched a person who was similar to him.

”Sure!” Ikioi Ito agreed delightfully because he was confident in his own strength.

After that conversation, Kimura Kazuki didn't bother with him anymore. It was just a brief interlude for him, and Ikioi Ito had walked away excitedly. In his opinion, defeating Kimura Kazuki was an easy job. It seemed like Kimura was a tsundere, beating around the bush when he actually wants to become an idol.

At ten-thirty, the crew notified him that it was his turn. Kimura Kazuki, who was well-equipped, stepped into District C. Once he went on stage, he received a thunderous shower of applause.

He lifted his eyes and noticed that the audience seats were full. At this moment, the audience gave him a standing ovation excitedly as he came out. But it was fortunate that Kendo fans were civilized, so they just clapped their hands without shouting. Usually, the audience would cry out excitedly only when a match had come to an end.

However, what attracted Kimura Kazuki's attention were not this audience, but the crowd of girls led by Natsui, and a poster held by a dozen girls.

On top of the poster was a grave and stern youngster with black hair, carrying a tachi in his hand. He was in the Sakura Kyu High School uniform, with the armband saying 'Head of Disciplinary Committee' on his sleeve. The background was the classroom building of Sakura Kyu High School, with the pink cherry blossoms floating in the air. Kimura Kazuki looked much more handsome in 2D. After all, in the anime world, everyone was a hot guy or a beauty.

The girls from 'Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club' were also affected by the atmosphere. They gave loud applause even if they didn't understand Kendo well.

As before, the audience sitting beside had noticed this group of girls in Sakura Kyu High School uniforms, and these girls were here to cheer for Kimura Kazuki. They thought that it was organized by their school in the first place, but only they realized that they came voluntarily after asking. Other than an exclamation, they didn't feel any inappropriatenesses. After all, Japanese celebrity idolaters were much crazier than them. The girls' self-control was commendable.

After all, this was a Kendo competition, not an idol concert.

Kimura Kazuki was speechless, he was wondering where Natsui went when he was still at District B just now. He didn't expect her to be waiting for him in District C. If he was not mistaken, is that Chiba Shiori sitting beside Natsui?

Doesn't this fellow have to attend classes today? It isn't a weekend today.

As he was thinking, the referees announced that the competition had started.

”Kimura-Kun... such a coincidence...”

While Kimura Kazuki was bowing, he heard a voice coming from the opposite side. He took a glance and noticed that it was Kageyama Kuro.

As there were match-fixing scandals in individual competitions before this, to prevent any match-fixing, the candidates would only know the starting time of their matches. They would have no idea who their opponents were or where they came from before entering the field.

Below the shield was Kageyama Kuro's face of helpless pain. He didn't expect that he would be out of luck, meeting Kimura Kazuki in the first place.

In the team competition last time, his team was defeated by Kimura Kazuki 1 versus 5. He and his four brothers went back and were given a piece of mind from their Sensei. He was thinking of standing out in the individual competition originally, but he didn't expect that he would encounter Kimura Kazuki. This time he really couldn't have worse luck. It seemed that he has to give up on the individual competition.

While the audience showed enthusiasm in their eyes, obviously they didn't expect that Kimura Kazuki would meet with Kageyama Kuro again. From their point of view, their tangling battle last time revealed that there wasn't much difference between their real strengths. But unfortunately, there was no mystery in this round.

Even so, Kageyama Kuro had done his best eventually and nailed his Kageyama Kiai Style thoroughly. But the distance in real strength could not be made up of techniques.

But Kimura Kazuki still extended the fight with Kageyama Kuro, allowing the audience to feast their eyes.

In the end, Kageyama Kuro still lost.

Eventually, Kageyama Kuro gave an appreciative stare at Kimura Kazuki for protecting his dignity by extending the battle with him.

As a juvenile, he didn't have the mindset that you aren't respecting me if you don't do your best.

Indeed, there were a lot of people at the scene, and the recorded video will be uploaded to the internet. All the people in Japan who like Kendo will watch interesting matches, especially Kimura Kazuki's.

So even if Kageyama Kuro had lost, but it was a good defeat, an excellent one. Anyone who saw the video would not look down on him.
