Time always moved forward unhurriedly and steadily. This year, Kaede Poisonous Island was fifteen years old and had just become a high school student less than two months ago. Yako Poisonous Island was twelve years old and had just become a middle school student less than two months ago.
"Kaede Poisonous Island, why didn't you participate in the National High School Kendo Competition? I've been looking forward to defeating you in the finals!”
Kaede Poisonous Island looked speechlessly at the Yagyu Tenbei who was blocking the door, as if he had done something unforgivable.
But in fact, he just didn't sign up for the National Kendo Competition. What was the big deal?
"Jubei, calm down. I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship yet.”
Kaede Poisonous Island and Yagyu Jubei were old acquaintances. The Yagyu family was a large family in the Hong Nation, and they had various connections with the Poisonous Island family. Their relationship was not close, but it was very close. As the leaders of the new generation of the two families, the two of them were both rivals and friends.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just asking why you didn't participate in the Kendo competition. What's there to be happy about if your strongest opponent doesn't win a championship?”Yagyu Jubei did not appreciate it at all. As one of the two strongest Kendo practitioners of the new generation, Yagyu Jubei had never taken others seriously.
" Well," Kaede Poisonous Island said calmly," There are only a few people coming and going, and their sword skills are only a few moves. It's really boring. It's a waste of time to participate in the competition."”
Yagyu Jubei was speechless. His words were a little sad, but they were too true.
Every year, the National Kendo Competition seemed to be a grand event, but in fact, only a small number of people were able to get into the top ten. Their Kendo level was also known by others, so the rankings rarely changed, and there were very few so-called dark horses. After all, this world was not a single-player game. Only the protagonist could become stronger.
Kaede Poisonous Island, who was the strongest and most talented among the new generation and was still willing to cultivate wholeheartedly, was said to be as strong as the famous Kendo masters in the country. He indeed had the right to ignore high school students like them.
But, but
Yagyu Jubei clenched his fists, but this championship was not an honor to him. He would rather be defeated by Kaede Poisonous Island than win this championship.
"Cut the crap. Since you didn't participate in the competition, it's the same here.”Yagyu Jubei casually threw the championship trophy to the side and did not even bother to look at it. He took out two wooden knives from behind him and threw one to Kaede Poisonous Island.
"I don't want to fight." Kaede Poisonous Island held his wooden sword in distress. He did not want to fight with Yagyu Jubei at all.
"Hmph, this is not up to you. Take this!”
Yagyu Jubei snorted coldly. If you don't do it, I'll beat you up until you look like a pig's head.
The wooden blade slashed down diagonally. The Yagyu family's blade technique emphasized on using force to suppress others, and it was domineering and violent.
A strong wind whistled through the air. The wooden blade was clearly light, but it gave off a heavy pressure that made Kaede Poisonous Island narrow his eyes.
"Looks like the Ten Guards hasn't relaxed either. It's only been half a year since we last met, and he's already improved so much!”
The three realms of the sword path were technique, force, and heart.
The realm of sword arts referred to the realm of cultivating moves. One had to practice moves so skillfully that they became instinctive.
The state of Kendo's force referred to the condensation of a force when facing an enemy. It could be overbearing or heavy, gentle or cold. Yagyu Jubei was currently in this state, but Kaede Poisonous Island could tell that he had just entered this state, and his sword force was fluctuating greatly.
However, there were not many people in this world who had reached the Heart Realm of Sword Dao. The specific strength was sharpness. It could wrap invisible and intangible Qi around a weapon. Even a wooden saber without a sharp edge could cut through metal.
The last time Kaede Poisonous Island met Yagyu Jubei was more than half a year ago. At that time, he had just become familiar with the Yagyu family's sword technique and had not condensed his own sword power. Now, when they met again, Yagyu Jubei was qualified to open a school and establish a dojo. He was indeed a famous Kendo genius.
"However, this is not enough!”
Facing the Yagyu Jubei's aggressive attack, his expression did not change at all. His movements seemed slow and fast, but he blocked the wooden sword in front of the Yagyu Jubei's wooden sword just in time.
Kaede Poisonous Island didn't show any knife power, but Yagyu Jubei's wooden knife was like a piece of tofu that voluntarily bumped into the blade. It was naturally split into two, and the cut was smooth and smooth.
"Sword Dao Heart Realm!" Yagyu Jubei's expression was very ugly. It was not that he had not thought that he would lose, or rather, he did not think that he could win this time at all. Kaede Poisonous Island's physical fitness was several times better than ordinary people in terms of explosive power, endurance, and strength. He had lost at the starting line from the beginning of the competition between the two.
However, even though they both lost, there was a fundamental difference between losing in terms of hardware and losing in terms of software and hardware.
"When did you reach the Sword Heart Realm? Don't tell me it was just recently. Judging from your practiced appearance, you definitely didn't just break through.”
Yagyu Jubei was certain of one thing, and that was that Kaede Poisonous Island had never used his full strength to fight against him before. At least, Kaede Poisonous Island had never used his sword power in the last match.
"Well, I could have done it a year ago!”Kaede Poisonous Island's relaxed expression made Yagyu Jubei want to give him a good beating. The Realm of Kendo Heart was the highest realm of Kendo that he didn't even know if he could reach. Kaede Poisonous Island had actually achieved it a year ago. Did he have to be so demoralized?
Now, Yagyu Jubei knew why Kaede Poisshima did not participate in the National Kendo Competition. He should have participated in the national and even international Kendo Master competitions to fight for the glory of being the number one Kendo master in the country.
"I'll go back first. I'll come to you for advice in the future.”Yagyu Jubei walked back in a daze.
"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" Kaede Poisonous Island felt that it would be rude to let Yagyu Jubei leave just like that.
"No, I'm not in the mood!" Yagyu Jubei wasn't in the mood to eat right now, not to mention that it was just past noon. There were still a few hours before dinner, and he didn't want to stay in this sad place for even a minute.
"Then you don't want your trophy anymore? Although it's only gold-plated, this seems to be your first national championship trophy.”Kaede looked at the golden trophy lying on the lawn. Should he not bring it back?
Yagyu Jubei stopped in his tracks and walked forward again. He did not care about the gold-plated bronze trophy. It was not worth much. Moreover, he did not think that the trophy was his. He did not defeat Kaede Poisonous Island. He would always be the runner-up.
"You really don't want it anymore?" Kaede Poisonous Island watched Yagyu Jubei get into the car and leave. He picked up the trophy on the lawn and patted the grass on it.
"I guess he's too embarrassed to take it. After all, he lost. I'll just mail it over tomorrow!”
Kaede had no intention of keeping the trophy. It was just a piece of gold-plated brass, and the honor on it was not attractive at all.
"Brother, I've brought everything over!”
Yako walked out of the room with two sets of fishing gear in her hands. She was surprised to see the trophy in Kaede's hands.
"Brother, you actually took this trophy out to show today. It's really strange.”
"Don't think too much. This trophy belongs to Jubei. Look carefully. This is the trophy for the high school Kendo competition. It's different from the middle school competition trophy at home.”Kaede explained helplessly.
"Eh, it really isn't big brother's trophy!”He hadn't seen it clearly just now, but when he got closer, he realized that the trophy in Kaede Poisonous Island's hand was very different from the trophy that was covered in dust at home. There was a line of small words on it-2011 National Kendo Competition High School Championship Cup.
Yako Poisonous Island knew that Kaede Poisonous Island had never signed up for the high school Kendo competition, so this trophy really did not belong to Kaede Poisonous Island. She also recognized Yagyu Jubei's ability. He had the ability to win the championship, even though he had just become a high school student, and was several years away from the third-year students who were about to become college students.
"Jubei is here, but where is he? Why didn't he see it? He even left the trophy here!”Yako looked around but did not see anyone from Yagyu Jubei.
Originally, Yako should have called Yagyu Jubei brother, but unfortunately, Yagyu Jubei did not have much to show for Kaede, causing his brother's position to be overthrown by Yako for a long time.
"We had a duel, and he left after losing!”Kaede pointed at the open door.
"He left so quickly!" Poison Island's Yazi was a little strange. He didn't stay to rest even though he came to visit.
A moment later.
"But that's good. We're going out fishing, so we don't have time to entertain him.”
If Yagyu Jubei heard this, he would definitely bang his head against the wall. Since when could he not even compare to fishing activities in Yako's heart?
Kaede put the trophy at home and rode his bicycle out with Yako. They were going to the beach to fish.
On the way, Poison Island's Yazi was different from usual. He wasn't in high spirits.
Kaede knew what was on her mind. They had seen each other every day since they were young, so she was a little depressed that he was going to travel alone for a few months.
"Yazi, I'm only going on a trip for a few months. I'll be back before the final exams. It's not like I'm not going back for good.”
"But brother has been by Yazi's side since he was young. This trip will be a few months without seeing him. How can he not be sad?”Poison Island's Yazi was still in a bad mood.
Kaede Poisonous Island sighed in his heart. He hoped that today's fishing activity would ease her heart a little!# Date:08 24 2019 4:16PM
