Chapter 34 Although there are some surprises, the direction is right

"Ineffective fight."

It had been silent for a long time in the empty kendo gym, under the gazes of Suzuki Mamoru and Tamaki Machiyo, Nakazawa Rinka finally made such a judgment after hesitating for a long time.

Suzuki Mamoru, who had been waiting for the news of his "getting a job", was a little stunned when he heard such a voice.

He looked at Nakazawa Rinka.

"Ineffective fight?"

"Yes, it's invalid." Rinka Nakazawa confirmed to him again, her voice echoing in the quiet kendo hall.

"So. Why doesn't it work?"

To be honest, Suzuki Mamoru is a little reluctant to accept this conclusion easily.

After all, he exhausted all his energy and tried his best to finally hit Tamaki Michiyo. He thought he could win, but in the end, the referee Rinka Nakazawa deemed it an "invalid attack."

In other words, the sword he just hit cannot be scored.

"It's because the blade is not straight." Tamaki Michiyo, who had been standing there silently after being hit by him, suddenly spoke at this time.

"Basuji is not good?" Suzuki Mamoru looked at Tamaki Michiyo who spoke out, and the girl also turned to him and nodded.

"Um."

"Michiyo is right." Nakazawa Rinka also agreed, "Suzuki-kun, although you did hit Michiyo's crotch, the Kiai was completed, and Zanshin also did it, but because of the bamboo sword blade tendon

The direction is wrong, so it cannot be judged to be an effective attack and the gains cannot be made.”

"."

Suzuki remained silent.

He knew the concept of "Basuji".

First of all, there is a big difference between a bamboo sword and a real sword. For example, if you look at the appearance alone, it is more appropriate to call a "bamboo sword" a "bamboo stick" than a "sword".

The sword body is a stick and has no edge.

but

The reason why "kendo" is "kendo" rather than "stick way" is because in kendo, the "bamboo sword" is regarded as the "real sword".

In order to be close to the real sword, a "sword string" is tied to the bamboo sword. The sword string represents the back of the sword, and its reverse side represents the blade.

So natural, everyone knows the truth - when cutting with a sword, of course you should use the "blade" to cut and not other parts.

Therefore, similarly, in kendo competitions, although bamboo swords that look like bamboo sticks are used, when attacking the opponent, the "sword edge" must also be used to strike.

Only such a strike can be judged as an effective strike if the "direction of the blade" is consistent with the "direction of attack" and the "virtual blade" hits the opponent.

Once the "Basuji" is not straight, it is equivalent to attacking with the blade or even the back of the sword when using the sword. Such attacks are of course ineffective.

In the competition with Tamaki Michiyo just now, because he did not keep the direction of the blade consistent with the direction of the strike, it was deemed that the attack was invalid.

Such a result.

"Okay." Suzuki Mamoru sighed after being silent for a long time, and could only accept it.

He admitted that he did not notice. He was still too inexperienced. As a newbie in kendo, he had only held the bamboo sword in his hands for two weeks. He was still not familiar with the bamboo sword. In addition, he just wanted to hit it as quickly as possible.

Tamaki Machiyo was too anxious not to give her time to react. He ignored such details. No wonder others.

"Then" Nakazawa Rinka looked at Tamaki Michiyo, and then at Suzuki Mamoru, "Since it was an invalid attack, this round is invalid, do we have to do it again?"

"Well, no need." Suzuki Mamoru rejected the proposal without much thought.

"Cat Sense" has gone into cooling down, his physical strength has been exhausted, and it is no longer possible to win again.

In other words, his entrance examination to the Kendo Club was declared a failure.

Well, although he briefly had hope, fortunately, he didn't have any expectations before coming here, so the current result, although a bit frustrating, can't be said to be disappointing.

and--

"Although the direction of Basuji is wrong, as a beginner, it's not bad to be able to hit Tamaki Michiyo, right?"

"So, Tamaki-san, I've been sorry to trouble you for this week." Suzuki Mamoru took off the mask on his head, revealing a somewhat pale face.

The circulating air brushes your cheeks again, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Since I failed the Kendo Club assessment, then I will..." He was about to say goodbye, but was suddenly interrupted.

He looked at Tamaki Michiyo who was speaking.

"Although Suzuki-san did not pass the Kendo Club's assessment, but..."

Tamaki Michiyo also took off her mask, and her clear and slightly rosy cheeks appeared in view. Her expression was still calm, but her tone did contain some praise.

"I think that someone who has only practiced kendo for two weeks can reach such a level. I must admit that Suzuki-san is quite powerful."

".I don't deny this." Suzuki Mori accepted the girl's praise calmly.

Although he has "cat senses", the improvement of his kendo level is real. He was able to reach this point in two weeks, and he thinks it is really good.

And just as he was thinking this, Tamaki Machiyo continued to speak to him.

"Suzuki-kun, do you still remember what I told you about my personal goals?"

"Target?" Suzuki Mamoru asked.

"Yes." Tamakiro Sanchiyo affirmed, "My goal is to win the singles competition. The purpose of setting up the kendo club assessment is also to find an opponent who can defeat me head-on, so as to improve myself."

"It seems I couldn't do it."

"I couldn't do it, so I can't let Suzuki-san officially join the kendo club." Tamaki Michiyo said.

However, after thinking for a moment, Suzuki Mamoru caught the key point: "Formal?"

"Yes." She nodded lightly, "Since such rules have been set up, we need to act in accordance with the rules. However, today's Suzuki-san failed, but that doesn't mean that Suzuki-san can't succeed in the future, right?"

"." Suzuki Mamoru blinked, "So?"

"So." Tamaki Machiyo walked up to Suzuki Mamoru with a serious expression, "If Suzuki-san is still willing to practice kendo, I think you can become a reserve member of the kendo club first, and then become a full member in the future when you can really score points with me.

.”

"."

"What do you think?"

"."

Suzuki Mamoru looked at the girl in front of him, then at Nakazawa Rinka not far away, whose expression was slightly distorted. Finally, he looked back at Tamaki Machiyo, who had extended an invitation to him very seriously.

"Well, I don't seem to have any reason to refuse."

Although there are some surprises and there are some gaps between the goals and expectations, but

The direction is completely correct.

It's just that there's still a little distance to go.
