230 One Hit Man (1/2)
From Kimura Kazuki's perspective, all the contestants in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition were kids. And so, during the individual competition, the audience was shocked as he took down all his opponents within the blink of an eye.
Although other contestants also quickly ended their matches, under the best-of-three points rule, the duration of each match would usually be within one or two minutes. Basically, every match was the same for Kimura Kazuki. First, Kimura Kazuki and his opponent enters the field, they then bow to each other, and finally Kimura Kazuki would score two points in a row and win. This was how Kimura Kazuki competed in every round of the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition.
In the sixth round during the second day of the individual competition, Kimura Kazuki entered the field again. This time, his opponent was Katsuki Sugawara. Kimura Kazuki was slightly shocked as he did not expect to be matched against Katsuki Sugawara. But when he remembered that it was the sixth round, he assumed that most of the contestants had been eliminated, so the remaining ones were Kendo elites. So, matching up against Katsuki Sugawara made sense to him.
Before Kimura Kazuki entered the stage, three people at the side, including Ikioi Ito were betting on how long could Katsuki Sugawara last.
”I understand my sister's strength. Although she isn't as strong as I am, she's still considered quite strong. Anyway, I would easily take her down within seconds.” Mizuki Sugawara muttered for a moment. ”According to Kimura-kun's performance in the last few matches, Kimura-kun would show no mercy to her too. Subtracting the time needed for bowing… I bet she should be able to withstand 10… ahem, 15… 12 seconds?”
”How about you?” Without a word or movement, Ikioi Ito looked at Tomoya Saito. He assumed that this boy in love would bet on Katusuki Sugawara to win this match. He would never let go of such a good opportunity to earn money.
”I bet 500… 1,000 yen on Sugawara's victory,” Tomoya Saito said without blinking his eyes. ”Then, I bet 100,000 yen on Kimura-kun to defeat Sugawara.”
Damn! That's too honest!
Both Ikioi Ito and Mizuki Sugawara were distressed, especially Mizuki Sugawara as he just got to know that his sister was only worth 1,000 yen in the eyes of Tomoya Saito.
Tomoya Saito saw the dangerous glance from Mizuki Sugawara, and he suddenly responded to it by promptly saying, ”Obviously, Kimura Kazuki will win. How could I blindly bet that Katsuki will win? Wouldn't that be too stupid? A good man is a man who knows how to enjoy life.”
There was no expression on Mizuki Sugawara's face. He looked at Ikioi Ito and asked, ”How much would you bet?”
Huh? Both Tomoya Saito and Mizuki Sugawara were puzzled.
The time they bet on was the total battle time, excluding the time for bowing and other procedures.
Thirty seconds? Was he looking down upon Kimura Kazuki?
”Not enough money?”
Tomoya Saito and Mizuki Sugawara doubtedly looked at Ikioi Ito, there was no host in this gamble. The two losers must pay the winner. Of course, if no one guessed it correctly, then the gamble would be voided.
Ikioi Ito smiled quietly, enjoying his trampling on the two.
At the Sakura Kyu High School resting area, Kimura Kazuki sat beside Harunaka. He smiled faintly, ”You will definitely meet Katsuki Sugawara in the team competition. I will drag this match slightly, so you have to watch closely.”
