Hearing Tie Zhuyu say the same thing, Gao Yuan waved his hands helplessly and couldn't help but say:
"Miss Zhuyu, why are you..."
"Because I want to see if the method we worked out together will be useful when facing a real swordsman master!"
Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but said:
"So, this is a rare opportunity. Since there are seed players in the high school kendo competition here, why not take this opportunity to give it a try? After all, martial arts skills can only show their value in actual confrontations!"
"Uh-huh!"
At this time, after hearing Tie Zhuyu's words, Lian Chengzhong Jade couldn't help but come up and said with an innocent smile:
"Mr. Gao Yuan, please satisfy our curiosity! We all really want to see what Mr. Gao Yuan is like!"
"Yes! Judging from the level of Detective Akechi that day, I think even facing Souji Okita should be quite interesting!"
In this regard, even Kashiwagi Shion on the side said with a smile, while Matsunaga Shion glanced at Takato for a moment, and finally nodded timidly.
"Huh? It seems that the detective guy is quite popular too!"
Noticing that these girls were all thinking about letting Gao Yuan come on stage, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said curiously:
"Since this is what everyone expects, detective brother, why don't you refuse? Facing other people's challenges, it would not be good to back down!"
"you……"
Seeing the friends around him saying this, Gao Yuan looked helpless and in a dilemma——
After all, I remembered correctly, Souji Okita is very powerful!
Why do I have to compete with him for no reason?
But seeing the group of people around him making such noise, Gao Yuan couldn't refuse even if he wanted to -
"Of course!"
At this time, perhaps because the atmosphere had reached this point, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but stand in front of Gao Yuan, responded to Gao Yuan, and said to General Okita:
"But you haven't forgotten that today's competition is not a regular kendo competition?"
"certainly."
In response, General Okita put the bamboo sword on his shoulder again, looked at Tie Zhuyu and replied:
"In order to take care of some laymen participating in the competition, as long as there is no attack below the abdomen, there are no other conditions... Of course I understand this special rule."
"good."
Hearing Chief Okita's clear answer to the rules of the event, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but nodded, and then said to Gao Yuan:
"Brother Mingzhi, it's rare to have such a rule. Just use 'that move' to compete with these people who call themselves 'samurai'!"
As he said that, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but smile a little expectantly.
"That move?"
After hearing Tie Zhuyu's words, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but murmured curiously, appearing a little confused.
"Go ahead! You're here! Just think of it as supporting our activities!"
The sound of cypress poetry is indescribable.
"Yes, Mr. Gao Yuan. Since we are all at the school festival, it would be a waste not to participate in some special activities!"
Shirozuka Jade said, already trying to push Gao Yuan back...
So, facing the situation that Tie Zhuyu had already helped him cope with, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly and couldn't help but prepare to go up and give it a try——
Anyway, I haven't forgotten that I promised Miyano Akemi before that I would beat Shuichi Akai. If I don't have enough ability, beating Shuichi Akai is completely nonsense.
And now, I really don’t know where my level is.
In the previous incidents that required the use of force to resolve, most of the opponents were just gangsters, so by relying on ruthless and underhanded tactics, I basically suffered no losses.
But on the other hand, when facing Gin, I didn't get any benefit at all. If I hadn't been lucky at that time and relied on vodka to restrain Gin a little, I would have been completely responsible.
Therefore, it would be good to have a reference as to how far behind we are when facing those powerful people.
Therefore, if you can fight with Okita Souji, you may be able to judge your own level a little bit...
Therefore, such an opportunity is not meaningless...
With this thought in mind, Takato was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hattori Heiji——
"Let me lend you my protective gear!"
Hattori Heiji handed the removed helmet to Gao Yuan and couldn't help but give advice:
"We can't take it lightly when facing that guy!"
"Oh, thank you……"
It was the first time that Gao Yuan received professional kendo protective gear, and he couldn't help but thank him. However, after trying it on for a while, Gao Yuan silently took it off, shook his head, and sighed helplessly:
"But, I'm not used to it..."
"It doesn't matter."
Regarding this, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but say:
"How to play without protective gear..."
As he said that, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but look at Chief Okita on the stage.
Seeing this, Chief Okita couldn't help but nodded helplessly and couldn't help but say:
"In that case, fine."
Having said this, Souji Okita also began to take off the rest of the protective gear he was wearing, and then said with a little confidence:
"Without these things, I feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden... But if you are not used to protective gear, you didn't expect that you are still a practical person?"
Saying this, I saw Souji Okita looking at Gao Yuan with a somewhat solemn look.
Gao Yuan was also a little helpless about this——
If I have to say, my knowledge about kendo is only the basic stances that Tie Zhuyu gave me before. I didn't even mention the relatively professional rules of the game to myself. Therefore, my sparring with Tie Zhuyu was basically basic. These are situations with no specific restrictions.
If he hadn't heard what Tie Zhuyu said just now, that apart from the restriction of attacks below the abdomen, this competition had no other restrictions, he might not have been able to agree to it.
After all, I know nothing about professional kendo competitions!
Just think of it as a normal sparring...
In this way, under the gaze of Tie Zhuyu and others, when Gao Yuan walked to the stage and looked at Souji Okita holding a sword in front of him, Gao Yuan realized that he was not holding a bamboo sword——
"Ah...sorry..."
Seeing that his hands were empty, Gao Yuan said apologetically to Souji Okita, then turned around and walked off the field...
But at this time Hattori Heiji smiled lightly and threw his bamboo sword to Takato across this distance——
"Detective brother, continue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuan turned around and before he could move, Gao Yuan saw a bamboo sword flying towards him.
Probably because I had seen Takato's knife-catching skills at the Kyoto Photography Studio before, Hattori Heiji's throw could be said to have no scruples.
Although Gao Yuan looked slightly surprised at this, he subconsciously reached out and just caught the thrown bamboo sword, then turned it around in his hand and shouted helplessly:
"Hattori-kun, it's very dangerous!"
After saying that, seeing Hattori Heiji just smiling at him, Takato turned around helplessly and faced Souji Okita——
At this time, it seems that because the hand he took the sword with just now was too easy, Okita Souji seemed to be completely serious. He held the bamboo sword in both hands and posed with his left shoulder in front and the tip of the sword in the back.
posture, and then gazed at the high distance in front of him.
Similarly, looking at Okita Souji's posture, Gao Yuan subconsciously held the sword in both hands, tilted it 45 degrees, and placed the sword on the center line in front of him——
Such momentum?
Although he was also putting on a posture, Gao Yuan intuitively felt a sense of oppression coming towards him——
When it comes to swordsmanship, I am definitely no match for Okita Souji.
Such thoughts emerged in Gao Yuan's mind unconsciously, and then Gao Yuan began to think:
But if it is used as a test of one's actual combat skills...
Facing a swordsman holding a sword, do the methods he and Tie Zhuyu have figured out, such as "taking without a sword," have any practical significance? And how can the knowledge he learned in "The Hanged Man" be used?
To what extent...
These questions couldn't help but begin to linger in Gao Yuan's mind when he really felt the pressure brought by Souji Okita on the other side.
For a moment, as the two people got into their stances, the crowd of people watching at the scene also fell silent, as if they felt that the atmosphere of this game was a little different.
"Yagyu's new Yin-ryu is cut in half? But I can't understand the attitude of the detective brother?"
Muttering, Hattori Heiji looked at the postures of the two people and couldn't help but wonder.
"There's nothing you can't understand, just the basics!"
Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but add an explanation.
"The most...it's actually that one!"
Hearing Tie Zhuyu's explanation, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Detective brother, are you going to use the most basic moves to deal with Okita Souji?"
