The girl next door turns into a cat

Chapter 31 Not admitting defeat, the opportunity to "victory"
Mask, body armor, pendant, gloves, four standard kendo protective gear, provided by Michiyo Tamaki.

"Okay." Mamoru Suzuki put on the protective gear a little unfamiliarly, held a bamboo sword, and walked to the opposite of Michiyo Tamaki who was already fully dressed and waiting for him on the field.

"Then, get ready."

Without procrastinating, Nakazawa Rinka, holding a small red and white flag for referees in his hand, gave the order.

Suzuki Mamoru clenched the bamboo sword in his hand.

There is no chance of winning, but at least you have stood here, so naturally you should go all out.

"Student Yucheng, please advise."

Under the mask, the girl on the opposite side nodded slightly and responded to him with her eyes.

Both sides hold the "middle arm", and the tips of the bamboo swords touch lightly.At this moment, the entrance examination for the Kendo Department officially began.

Suzuki took a deep breath.

Kendo competition is a kind of competitive sport to fight against people. In addition to the confrontation in kendo skills, psychological warfare is also an indispensable part.In other words, psychological quality should be a manifestation of the level of kendo.

It seems that only the moment when the sword is drawn is what determines the outcome. As long as the sword hits the opponent's effective scoring part, the victory is won, it seems to be that simple.

However, when and how to use the sword, such a hidden confrontation is the most important thing. It occupies most of the time of the game, determines the outcome, and determines the winner.

Probe, harass, attack.

Probe, test the opponent's style, find out in the shortest possible time the opponent's sword habits, whether it is more offensive or defensive, whether it is more flexible roaming or counterattack, and then adjust your strategy in time based on this information ;
Harassment, harass the opponent in a suitable way, approach, press the center line, use the bamboo sword to destroy the opponent's "frame", once the "center line" is lost, or the "frame" is destroyed, it means that the opponent has a flaw.

However, it doesn't mean that this will lead to a sword.

Because it is not certain whether such an opportunity was intentional by the other party, or if it was really forced to show its flaws during the harassment.

Once you lose the bet, you miss the victory.

Therefore, attacking is not a blind attack.

Hiding the attack intention, so that the opponent can't tell when the sword is drawn, until the moment when the sword is actually drawn——

All the preparations are made for this sword, and in this sword, the outcome is determined.

This is kendo competition, a psychological confrontation, a competition of skills, it is a sport that walks on the edge of the sword.

So, how does he win against Tamaki Michiyo?
Through the mask, Suzuki Mamoru's gaze met with Tamaki Michiyo's.

He knew Michiyo Yucheng, he knew this girl, he was no stranger to her through long-term observation and practice in the past week.

So the step of "testing" is actually over.

Swords and people are inseparable, and the habit of using a sword is the embodiment of a person's character.Yucheng Michiyo, confident but not arrogant, calm but not afraid of the head, is such a girl.Her sword is like her people, extremely calm and confident.

The "middle section", which is both offensive and defensive, has indeed brought this advantage into full play in her hands.

He will not be harassed by inferior feints, and once he judges that the opponent has indeed revealed a flaw, he immediately draws his sword, and has absolute confidence in his own judgment.

This is Michiyo Tamaki, a girl identified by Mamoru Suzuki as possessing "calm self-confidence".

So, how to deal with her?

Suzuki Mamoru tensed his body, and the bamboo sword did not move at all.

First of all, it is impossible for him to find the girl's flaw, even if he finds it, it must be a decoy.He has a clear understanding of his kendo level.

Therefore, it is absolutely unfeasible to harass and force the other party to show their flaws and then launch an attack.

The only way to get wrong, the only way to "see" the way to victory, is to defend.

Switching from the "middle structure" with both offense and defense to "offensive" will inevitably mean giving up part of the defense, and it will inevitably reveal flaws, big or small. This is the law, no matter who it is, even Tamaki Michiyo is no exception.

In other words, the moment the girl launched an attack was the moment when she showed her flaws.

The only question is. Can he really defend, or avoid Tamaki Michiyo's attack, and seize the opening to counterattack?

Yucheng Michiyo took a step towards him, and the tip of the bamboo sword that the two of them had touched slightly before crossed together as the distance of this step approached.

Suzuki Mori's body tensed even more at this moment.

From this moment on, the two entered the "one sword, one foot" distance for confrontation from a safe touch point distance.

It is no longer safe, and at this distance, the attack will start at any time.

So, when will Yucheng Michiyo release the sword?

Suzuki Mamoru, who was still guessing such a question, saw, heard, and felt it at this very moment.

He saw the tip of the sword move suddenly, and he heard the sound of footsteps at this moment in the empty kendo hall, which was so quiet that there was no noise.

The sword moved with him, and the moment he entered the distance of "one sword, one foot", Michiyo Yucheng launched an offensive and rushed towards him step by step.She raised her hand—

"Yes."

"The part to attack is the face."

The thinking in the brain quickly makes judgments and gives instructions to the body.

"Defense!"

Suzuki Mamoru lifted up subconsciously.

"boom!"

"noodle!"

The girl's sharp "Qi He" sounded simultaneously with the sound of the bamboo sword hitting the mask.

"."

ended.

With some frustration, Suzuki Mamoru turned his head to look at the girl who was keeping her "remnant heart" facing him a few steps away from him after hitting him and then quickly passing by his side.

"Effectively attack! Get the money!"

As the referee, Rinka Nakazawa raised the white flag symbolizing the victory of Michiyo Tamaki.

He believed that his theory was correct, but the gap in physical fitness and the level of kendo made it impossible for his theory to be transformed into reality.

Not to mention defending and counterattacking, he still could hardly catch the trajectory of the girl's sword.

Lost one round in a blink of an eye, and it was still the same in the second round, without any change.

"Effective strike! Get it!" Nakazawa Rinka raised the white flag for the second time.

If it is the official kendo rules, Tamaki Michiyo, who has obtained the second copy at this moment, has already won.

However, because it was the entrance examination of the Kendo Club, Michiyo Yucheng gave him 3 chances, so he still had 1 chance.

It is also the only chance left.

However, I am afraid that this opportunity is almost impossible to change.

Even if you already know the ending in advance and don't have expectations, but sure enough, when you face failure, things like frustration will still rise from your heart.

"Suzuki-san, this is the last chance, do you want to take a break?" Tamaki Michiyo saw Suzuki Mamoru's frustration at the moment.

"It's okay, it's okay." Suzuki Mamoru clenched his bamboo sword again, "Let's continue."

It's useless to take a break, and it can't change the ending, unless he can improve his kendo level by leaps and bounds during the short moment of rest, or suddenly his reaction speed is greatly improved, and he can catch Michiyo Yucheng's actions and counterattack.

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.

"."

Impossible.?
Suzuki Mamoru suddenly froze in place, inspiration, the inspiration to see the solution to the problem suddenly appeared in his mind, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Etc., etc!"

Suzuki Mori suddenly raised a hand, facing Tamaki Michiyo.His expression was a little dazed, but there was a kind of light in his eyes.

"Wait a minute, Yucheng student!"

"please wait a while!"
