The swordswoman's swordsmanship was light and smooth, without any flaws. Even those who did not understand swordsmanship would think that she was an expert who had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years.
On the other hand, the male swordsman on the opposite side drew a perfect arc in the air with his bamboo sword. Every time the female swordsman launched an attack, it was as if she had predicted it in advance and could always receive it effortlessly.
In just a few minutes, the two of them had engaged in no less than a dozen rounds of battle. Although they fought back and forth, anyone with a discerning eye could immediately see the crux of the problem. This was because the male swordsman was facing the continuous attacks of the female swordsman with ease.
After more than ten minutes, the swordswoman, who was already panting heavily from exhaustion, was the first to be defeated. After giving up on her attack, she casually stuck the bamboo sword in her hand into the ground like a walking stick. She did not have the heroic temperament from before at all.
When the male swordsman saw this, the corners of his mouth under the mask also smiled slightly. Then, he put away the bamboo sword in his hand, and the spar between the two ended.
"Ah, I'm so angry. Senior, you actually won again. I really can't accept this ~"
The girl's gentle voice came from under the mask. The swordswoman adjusted her breathing and took off the armor covering her head, revealing a delicate and cute face.
"It's just a spar. It's okay, Zhiye. I can already feel your improvement.”
Osamu Uesugi also took off the protective gear on his head and said to the girl in front of him in a comforting tone.
Two months ago, Osamu Uesugi transferred to a key high school in the city to try to get in touch with the characters in the original novel. He had planned to build a good relationship with Kiritani Kazuhito in advance, but he found out that as the male lead of the original drama, he had long awakened his otaku nature. Kiritani Kazuhito, who had already dropped out of school, now spent all his time at home dealing with his computer and had no contact with the outside world at all.
With the principle of not coming here for nothing, Osamu Uesugi coincidentally joined the school's Kendo Club and met Kiritani Naoba, who often trained in swordsmanship.
Kiritani Naoha, Kiritani Kazuhito's cousin, a Kendo girl, a hardworking girl who had been wielding her bamboo sword for eight years without stopping since she was young. She was one of the top eight in the country when she was in junior high school and was selected to participate in the national competition in her first year of high school.
When Kiritani Kazuhito was seven years old, he gave up on practicing Kendo. In order to follow his grandfather's wishes and inherit the swordsmanship passed down in the family, Kiritani Naoha, as his younger sister, took over his grandfather's sword without hesitation and fought for it for many years.
As an outstanding swordsman who could participate in the national competition, Kiritani Naobao's swordsmanship was even praised by some adults. However, when she fought with Xiu Uesugi, who had recently joined the Kendo Club, she understood that this senior was a swordsman who was even stronger than her.
One afternoon, Osamu Uesugi and Kiritani Naoha had agreed to train alone at the Kendo Club after school. Although it was called training, in most cases, it was Shuu Uesugi who was guiding Kiritani Naoha's cultivation.
As a cheater who had already maxed out his swordsmanship, Osamu Uesugi did not mind doing something that would help improve his relationship with the pretty junior every day.
Today, the more times he fought with Uesugi Shuu, the more Kiritani Naoha felt his strength. The practice sessions every afternoon had become a routine.
His short hair that was longer than his earlobe was already drenched in sweat. Kiritani Naoha picked up the towel that he had prepared beforehand and began to wipe it while pouting at Osamu Uesugi.
"Well, Senior Uesugi, it's such a waste that you don't participate in the competition even though you're so powerful. If you signed up this year, you might have won the championship.”
Osamu Uesugi explained with a smile as he looked at the girl pouting her mouth because she was unwilling to accept the outcome. Her cute face made her look rather adorable.
"Alright, alright, Naoha, how many times have I told you? We wield our swords only for the happiness in our hearts. If we only fight for fame and fortune, how can we learn the true way of the sword?”
Shuu Uesugi took off his heavy protective gear and felt the refreshing breeze around him. He was about to change into his school uniform and leave with Kiritani Naoha.
·····································
In the spacious campus, Osamu Uesugi and Naoha Kiritani were walking side by side. However, compared to Osamu Uesugi's 1.85-meter tall frame, Naoha Kiritani, who was only 1.6 meters tall, seemed very petite.
" Sigh, it's such a blessing to have such a cute girl like Naoba walking with me under the beautiful sunset.”
"Senior! Please don't say such strange words again!”
He casually teased Kiritani Naoko, who was beside him. Unexpectedly, the innocent girl blushed and did not dare to raise her head.
"I know, I was just joking. Don't be angry, Naha-chan.”
To be honest, Shuu Uesugi felt that Kiritani Naoha was indeed worthy of being called a beautiful girl.
The fifteen-year-old Kiritani Naoha was in the best period of her life. Her simple fluffy short hair coupled with her baby fat face made her look indescribably cute. The standard school uniform on the girl could not hide her exquisite and graceful figure, especially the pair of weapons on her chest. It made people doubt her true age.
Shyly lowering her head, Kiritani Naoha, who was only focused on walking forward, did not notice that Osamu Uesugi, who was beside her, was openly looking at her. However, even if she knew, she would not say anything.
The two of them just walked silently on the road. There was not much communication, but there was a different kind of warmth. However, a sudden scream broke this good atmosphere.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Osamu Uesugi saw four girls tearing at each other in a corner not far away. However, it was obvious that three of them were from the same group. They were snatching the bag from the other girl's hand.
"Hey! What were those people doing over there?”
Osamu Uesugi saw that something was wrong. It was obvious that this wasn't a small fight between girls. This was basically school bullying, so he didn't hesitate to leave Kiritani Naoba beside him and rush out.
"Eh? Slow down, Senior, wait for me."
Kiritani Naoha, who had just reacted, also took a step forward and chased after him. However, unlike Uesugi Shuu's astonishing speed, the distance between the two of them kept increasing.
Osamu Uesugi, who was running, thought that the girls would last until he arrived. However, one of the three of them made a shooting pose. The girl who was being bullied seemed to have suffered a blow, and her hand that was originally tightly holding onto her handbag involuntarily loosened.
"The few of you actually dare to do such a thing in school. Aren't you afraid of causing a ruckus in school?”
When Osamu Uesugi arrived, he looked at the trio in front of him coldly.
"Who are you? Why are you here to meddle in our affairs?”
Little delinquent number one said disdainfully as she scratched her black nails and glanced at Osamu Uesugi.
"Big Sister, I didn't expect there to be 5,000 yen in here.”
"That's great. Looks like I'll have to come and borrow money more often in the future. After all, Shino-san is so rich.”
The remaining two people opened the zipper of the bag. After finding valuable things and banknotes, they laughed and laughed at the side, completely ignoring the feelings of the owner of the bag.
Osamu Uesugi glanced at the girl on the ground. The girl's lifeless eyes made him furious. The anger in his heart also rushed up. It was not the so-called sense of justice of the Virgin Mary, but simply because he could not stand it.
" Ah Le, I didn't expect you to be such a handsome boy. Do you want to do something fun with me?"
Pa--
Before Little Gangster #1 could finish her sentence, she was slapped to the ground by Uesugi Osamu. The powerful blow not only made her face swell up like a balloon, but also ruthlessly knocked out her left molars. A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
"Hey! How dare you treat our big sister like this?”
When the other two delinquents saw their boss being beaten up like this, they naturally flashed their long nails and slashed at Osamu Uesugi.
"Students should act like students. How can you act like high school students?”
Osamu Uesugi used the same imposing manner he had when he was the president of the student union. For a moment, he intimidated the two people opposite him. However, Osamu Uesugi was never a soft-hearted person. He reached out and slapped them a few more times.
It wasn't until the three of them were crying on the ground that Osamu Uesugi resisted the urge to kick them.
He pulled out the bamboo sword on his back and gestured at the three of them, signaling them to get lost.
By the time Kiritani Naoha arrived, Shuu Uesugi had basically solved the problem.
" Senior, those people just now were…"
Osamu Uesugi shook his head, indicating that he did not want to talk about those people. Kiritani Naoha also consciously did not ask any more questions. Then, the two of them packed up the money and bag that had been thrown on the ground before coming to the last girl.
Osamu Uesugi asked softly as he helped her up.
"Hey, student, are you alright?”
After asking again, seeing that the other party's eyes were still unfocused, Kiritani Naokyo followed suit and asked again. In the end, the other party still did not respond.
In the end, the two of them decided to send the girl to the hospital, afraid that something might happen to her.
