Chapter 679 Demon Eye 1 Daosai
Chapter 679 Demon Eye 1 Daosai
Seeing that Hojo Kyosuke and Daidoji Masashi were about to put on a good show of brotherly love, the Sixth Hokage's face changed instantly.
This won't work. According to his script, he should use Hojo Kyosuke to defeat Daidoji, and then Daidoji and his supporters will hate Hojo, so that he can help his son-in-law clear two obstacles at once.
"Cough cough!"
The chubby Maitreya Buddha stood up. In fact, compared to the handsome little yellow-haired Ryunosuke, Daidoji looked more like his son. When the two of them walked out one after the other, everyone would definitely praise them for looking like father and son.
Hojo Kyosuke, who was about to show off some of Emperor Liu's special skills, curled his lips in dissatisfaction. This Daidoji really had the potential to be a slave... a good brother. He just needed to be trained well, and then the dojo would become a great help in his journey to success.
"Sbarasi!"
Otsuka Yoichiro walked to the center of the field, clapping his hands vigorously, looking proud and excited, and said loudly:
"I didn't expect that besides Jiang Sijun, there is someone who can practice Beichen Ittoryu's military tactics to this level. This is a blessing for Okemachi Chiba Dojo and also a blessing for the Japanese kendo world. Seeing such an outstanding young man, I am so..."
The Sixth Daeme talked endlessly, and then explained to the people present the various details of the fight between the two people just now, the names of the moves used, the learning threshold and difficulty of the skills...
In short, he was just bragging about how powerful their Hokushin Ittoryu swordsmanship was. At the end, the Sixth Hokage asked Hojo Kyosuke:
"Hojo-kun, if I'm not mistaken, you saw through Shoji-kun's tactics and responded to them?"
Hearing this question, swordsmen such as Nagase Ichirō and Miyazaki Masaru also pricked up their ears.
The duel between Hojo Kyosuke and Daidoji Masashi just now, even including the confrontation time, did not exceed two minutes. The entire fighting time was even more frighteningly short. In just a moment, everyone saw Daidoji Masashi flying backwards.
Such a defensive counterattack could not be the result of a simple quick reaction. It must have been predicted in advance, and the opponent's tactics had been seen through. Plans had been made in the mind early on, and the opponent was waiting for the opportunity to put his head under the blade.
"The first after the last" is the most difficult of the three firsts in kendo. It is usually used by teachers when teaching their disciples. In other words, it can only be used to bully weak opponents. Because it is too difficult to be the first after the last, you must first have an extraordinary vision and be able to capture all the elements. Having excellent observation skills is not enough, you also need to have a rich accumulation of kendo and be able to infer the opponent's techniques based on what you observe. Finally, you must be strong yourself. Otherwise, even if you know the opponent's tactics and come up with a way to deal with it, it will be useless if you cannot integrate knowledge and action. Refer to Wang Yuyan in the Forbidden Books of Wulin. No matter how much you know, you can only be captured obediently.
And what about Hojo Kyosuke? A sixteen-year-old boy.
Ichiro Nagase asked himself, what was he like when he was sixteen?
Perhaps he was beaten hard on the foot with a bamboo sword by his teacher because his feet were too high off the ground when he launched an attack, or perhaps he was practicing Su Zhen every day to build up his muscle strength.
Judging from my own experience, Hojo Kyosuke has such a strong physical fitness at such an age. I guess he has spent all his time on strengthening his body. How could he have the time to enrich his knowledge of kendo?
If you dig deeper, kendo is just a hobby of Hojo Kyosuke. Even people who don't know him know that he just came here after finishing the Mystery Association Award.
He was also an excellent student and was specially recruited by the University of Tokyo. You should know that he was able to attend a prestigious school like Waseda University thanks to spending all his time on kendo.
Writing mystery novels can win the highest honor in the Japanese mystery world, and comics can become popular all over the world...
Where does this guy get so much time and energy?
Is this really something a normal person can do?
So everyone is curious whether Hojo Kyosuke has any special skills to see through his opponents.
If Hojo Kyosuke heard everyone's thoughts, he would just pick up his pipe, strike a match, and humbly say, "I'm not a genius. I just squeezed out some time for love."
Jiujiu Shinku also looked at Hojo Kyosuke with sharp eyes. In past competitions of the Kendo Club of Dongcheng High School, those players were also very good at defense and counterattack. His students had asked about it privately, but the people over there just said that they were used to it after being beaten so many times.
This is complete nonsense. Which swordsman doesn't practice fighting every day?
The Sixth Generation asked this question with ill intentions. He could just explain the techniques. Who would ask such a question? Isn't this actively exposing his trump card? Who would be stupid enough to tell others?
This old guy saw that Hojo Kyosuke was a little too strong, so he wanted to reduce his strength and help the next person who was going to play.
Daidoji Masashi glanced at the Dao Master he once respected, sighed inwardly, and asked:
"I was a little curious, actually. I decided to use the Garuda King Sword only at the last minute, but your sword seemed to have been waiting there long ago. When the bamboo sword was knocked down, I even had the illusion that I was cooperating with you to throw away the bamboo sword. Now that I think about it, that feeling is really awkward."
As the person involved, he was sure that even if Hojo Kyosuke told the secret, no one would be able to crack it. So if he really told it, it would help Hojo Kyosuke become famous among so many excellent swordsmen and help the other party accept the Hokushin Ittoryu.
Hojo Kyosuke looked around and saw that everyone except the runaway angel was staring at him with burning eyes, so he asked with a smile:
"You all want to know?"
"Mmmmmmm!!"
The adults all nodded frantically at once, as obedient as kindergarten children.
"actually……"
Someone drew out the words, and the swordsmen craned their necks.
"Actually... to be honest, I have a pair of magic eyes."
Someone with noble sentiments tells the truth and is never a person who likes to deceive others.
"Magic Eye?"
Everyone present repeated it in unison.
"Yes, the Demonic Eyes. Nothing can escape my eyes. Just like you, Daidoji-kun, even if you made many false moves to conceal your true intentions, it was useless. As long as your figure is still in my eyes, the ending of failure is already written."
Hojo Kyosuke said sincerely that if he had not wanted to save face for Daidoji, he could have told him all about the other party's psychological struggles when he wanted to change his tactics several times and how they were reflected in his body.
"What? You don't have to say it if you don't want to. Why do you have to use nonsense like the magic eye to fool people? Really."
"Exactly. Demonic Eyes? You are truly a cartoonist. Can't you even tell the difference between reality and fantasy?"
Some people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to steal someone's skills were muttering, while others who believed in the story of Zaimokuza's transformation loudly refuted:
"If he didn't have a pair of magic eyes, how could the Oblivion Swordsman control the "Rebirth Slash"? After all, playing with memories is not a trivial matter. If you are not careful, you can turn your opponent into a baby. You definitely need a pair of magic eyes to control it!"
"Yeah, wasn't Daidoji seen through just now? If you don't believe it, why don't you go up there and ask for advice yourself?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the person who had just complained immediately stopped talking. Go up and ask for advice? That's going to the guillotine, bastard!
Didn't I see that Daidoji flew three meters? If it were someone like me, I would have flown at least six meters! Or I would have been skewered.
However, the bigwigs at the side of Chief Inspector Takenaka found it very interesting. Japanese people have always liked all kinds of geniuses and supernatural powers, and they get nicknames in all kinds of strange ways. There is even someone in the dojo of the Metropolitan Police Department who claims that no one can hit him in the same place twice. This is not a lie, but it is not because of how strong the guy is in swordsmanship, but because he has a very good memory and can remember the places where he was hit by the opponent. In order to maintain this title, every time he was hit, he would twist his body desperately to let the opponent hit him in a new place.
Hojo Kyosuke glanced at the sarcastic man, said nothing, and just looked at Otsuka Yoichiro with a smile.
"Master Dao, can we start the next one?" he asked.
"Hmm? Hojo-kun doesn't need to rest? According to what we agreed beforehand, you can rest for five minutes between each match." Otsuka Yoichiro asked with concern.
Five minutes? Only five minutes of rest in such an intense game? You are such a jerk that you can say that.
Hojo Kyosuke's smile remained unchanged, and his tone remained gentle:
"Although the competition with Daidoji-kun is very difficult, I can still persevere. After all, you seniors have been waiting for me for such a long time today, and I also want to present a wonderful performance for everyone."
Hearing this, Daidoji Masashi was a little embarrassed. A single strike would kill the opponent, how could that be called a difficult competition?
But others didn't think so. Ryo Iguchi, who had been defeated by Daidoji in wrestling before, brightened up his eyes when he heard this.
Before, in order to defeat the powerful Daidoji, Masashi Daidoji was so tired that his hands were shaking and he was unable to fight Miyazaki Masaru. In the end, it was Kyujuku Shinku who came to the rescue.
And now that Hojo Kyosuke has defeated Daidoji, that means that Hojo Kyosuke should be so tired that his hands are shaking and he should be too weak to fight me!
Ryo Iguchi was able to solve this simple equation when he was in elementary school.
and so……
Iguchi Ryo, a powerful swordsman who won the national team championship in college and led the company's elite to win the industrial group kendo tournament for three consecutive years after entering the society
Come on!
Iguchi Ryo held down Ichiro Nagase, who was eager to compete with Hojo Kyosuke, and stood up directly.
Oh, this guy Nagase, he was pretending to be a good guy before and was unwilling to bully Daidoji in a round-robin battle, why is he trying to take advantage of him now?
"Hmm? Iguchi, have you figured out how to crack Hojo-kun's "Mystic Eyes"? "
Ichiro Nagase asked in surprise. He had been thinking for a long time before coming up with a plan that was somewhat feasible.
"Magic Eye?"
Iguchi Ryo sneered. Is there really a fool who believes this? He was even more disappointed with Nagase Ichiro. It turned out that this guy didn't see through the disguise of Hojo Kyosuke who seemed strong but was actually weak. So he said proudly:
"I don't need to pay attention to that kind of thing. No matter what tricks Hojo Kyosuke has, I just need to crush him with my strength!"
But it cannot be said that he has already seen that Hojo Kyosuke is exhausted and is pretending. On the contrary, he has to make Hojo Kyosuke sound stronger, so that when he takes advantage of the situation and defeats Hojo, his victory will be more dazzling.
"hiss--"
Everyone around gasped in shock. Before this, they were shocked at Ryuta Nishimura's character and backbone. However, they found out later that Nishimura was not the kind of man who kept fighting despite repeated defeats. Instead, he was simply beaten to the point of losing his memory and had forgotten the fact that he was beaten.
But now, after witnessing the powerful strength of Hojo Kyosuke, Iguchi Ryo can still say such ambitious words.
"Iguchi-kun!"
Nagase Ichiro was shocked and said seriously:
"You are a truly strong person. I mistakenly thought you were a mean person before. I was too shallow. I apologize to you."
"..."
Iguchi Ryo opened his mouth, not quite sure whether the other party was praising him or mocking him. Nagase was known for his integrity in the circle. He used to think that was a reputation he had deliberately created, but now it seemed that this guy was really stubborn.
"Hehe...let the past be the past. Today you will see a brand new me!"
Iguchi Ryo patted Nagase's shoulder guiltily, then walked out of the crowd and came to the center of the circle under the admiring gazes of the swordsmen.
"Oh? Is Iguchi-kun going to join the battle next? I thought you would wait until after Nagase-kun."
Otsuka Yoichiro was a little surprised. He was very optimistic about the despicable Iguchi Ryo and was looking forward to defeating Hojo Kyosuke after he had almost exhausted his physical strength. Other swordsmen might be embarrassed to take advantage of others, but Iguchi Ryo would never be embarrassed.
"Hey~~ What are you talking about?"
Iguchi Ryo waved his hand:
"If I can't fight Hojo-kun when he is at the peak of his power, I will regret it for the rest of my life. If Nagase-san hadn't begged me repeatedly before, I wouldn't have let go of that precious opportunity."
He spoke in a serious tone, looked around, raised his chin, and said proudly:
"I'm Iguchi Ryo, if we're going to fight, we'll fight the strongest!"
"hiss--"
There was another round of gasps, and even Daidoji, who had previously switched from kendo to wrestling with Iguchi Ryo, looked at this man differently, wondering if he had misunderstood him before. In fact, Nagase, Iguchi, and Miyazaki didn't want to fight him in a round-robin battle, but simply wanted to compete with him.
After all, no one knew better than him how good of a condition Hojo Kyosuke was in at the moment.
"Well done!"
"Come on, Iguchi-san!"
"Let us see how you break the magic eye!"
The audience cheered, and only Onizuka Eikichi and others, who were also despicable, had amusement on their faces. (End of this chapter)
