Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 178. 175. The Sick Cat Teacher
On August [-]rd, the scorching sun in summer was still fierce, making even the air twist and tremble.

In the kendo hall of the private Xiujin Academy, members of the kendo club wearing training uniforms stood in a row, brandishing their sword Suzhen with loud shouts.Every time everyone moves neatly, there will be a rain of sweat.

In the corner of the kendo hall, Mr. Ushiwakamaru, who was wearing casual summer clothes, was urging Eihime Mizuhashi to practice sword swing.

As a half-step retired old teacher, the most important thing for Mr. Ushiwakamaru is time.So even if it's summer vacation, he doesn't mind helping Eiji Mizuhashi to continue her special training.

Unlike the students in the kendo club, Eihime Mizuhashi didn't need to wear a heavy and stuffy kendo uniform, just short-sleeved shorts.

"Hmm. Ha!" Eiji Mizuhashi stared at the front seriously, and swung the wooden knife with a soft drink.

This knife should be cut according to the enemy's hand, it is a disarming move, a bit like Beichen's one-sword style.Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward again, striking the "imaginary enemy" directly in the face.

After completing the last set of training, Eiji Mizuhashi blushed, exhaled softly through her small nose, her T-shirt was already discolored by sweat, and her white lotus-like arms outside the sleeves were trembling slightly, obviously due to muscle spasms.

"Very good, your movements are much better than last month." Teacher Ushiwakamaru folded his arms and nodded kindly with a smile.

"Thank you. The teacher sighed for praise." Mizuhashi Eihime wiped her forehead with her wet arm, but she was sweating more and more, so she had to take the towel handed to her by Ushiwakamaru teacher to wipe the sweat.

After a period of special training, Mizuhashi Eihime has not changed significantly, she is still as small and cute as a doll, and her arms are also delicate and tender without any trace of muscle.

However, her posture was obviously more upright than before, and there was finally light in her rainy eyes.This is a kind of light called "confidence". Even though this light is extremely dim, it has already completed the leap from zero to one.

Teacher Ushiwakamaru is still very satisfied with this "closed disciple" who was accepted half-jokingly.Although Eiji Mizuhashi's talent is not good, she is not good at sports, but she is willing to work hard and learn to protect herself is more than enough.

Teacher Ushiwakamaru is old, but he is still very open-minded. He will not teach students with a straight face that "puppy love hurts people, so concentrate on studying".

He is very willing to support students like Mizuhashi Eihime who continue to stimulate their potential because of their secret love.

"These days are very hot, go back and have a good rest, don't suffer from heat stroke." Teacher Ushiwakamaru also wiped the sweat from his face, and preached with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Ushiwakamaru!" Eihime Mizuhashi bowed vigorously, her voice resonant: "Thank you for your guidance!"

Teacher Ushiwakamaru also greeted the members of the kendo club who are training in the venue:
"Everyone in the Kendo Department, thank you for letting me borrow the venue! The Jade Dragon Banner will come in a few days!"

"Hi! Master Ushimaru, walk slowly!" The members of the Kendo Club were extremely polite.

Just when the two were about to leave the kendo gym, a young man with a pale face, a rectangular fever sticker on his forehead, and who was weak even when he pushed the door came in.

"Teacher Zaihara, what's wrong with you?" Teacher Ushiwakamaru hurried forward to support him.

This man is called "Zai Yuan Chunzheng", and he is an external consultant teacher of the Kendo Department of Xiujin Academy.

At a young age, Yuan Chunzheng obtained the qualification of "exempting everyone from permission". He can be regarded as the kind of person who is very talented in kendo, and it is more than enough to teach this group of high school students.

It is a pity that his health is very poor. It is said that it is due to the sequelae of lung disease when he was a child. He coughed once every three days and had a fever every five days.

In everyone's impression, Teacher Zaiyuan has always been sick, and when chatting with him, he is afraid that he will die suddenly in place, and people can't help but want to call him for emergency services.

Therefore, even though Mr. Yuan was very concerned about the Kendo club, many members looked down on him—this sick cat teacher took sick leave every three days and caused a lot of trouble for the Kendo club from time to time. He was afraid of contracting some kind of disease when staying in the same room with him, and no one would give him a good look.

"I'm sorry, everyone in the Kendo Club. Cough cough! Ah cough cough cough! As you can see, I suddenly fell ill." Haruma Harua supported the wall and lowered his head in shame:

"That... the Jade Dragon Flag competition in three days. Ahem, I may not be able to go"

The members of the Kendo Club were not surprised, but instead showed expressions of familiarity.

Yulong Banner is a kendo competition sponsored by West Japan News Agency and Kyushu Kendo Federation, and it is also one of the most valuable national youth kendo competitions in Wano Country.

Once he wins an award or has a brilliant performance in the competition, he will be reported as a star by various well-known media, he will be dubbed the title of "young genius" and become famous all over the country, and he will be favored by famous universities and even some big figures.The high school students have worked hard in the Kendo Club for three years in order to shine on this dream stage.

Yulongqi is usually held in Fukuoka City in the Kyushu region in late July, right next to another national youth judo competition called "Golden Eagle Banner".

However, for some unknown reason this year, the organizers of the competition temporarily decided to postpone these two large-scale national competitions for more than a week, which means they will be held in early August.

Naturally, this move has caused complaints, and the summer schedules of the contestants have been messed up.However, everyone can only complain after all. If you don’t want to participate, some people will participate. If you are not happy, don’t come, and continue to hide in the school’s kendo hall as an unknown person!
For the private Xiujin Academy, which urgently needs to improve its reputation, kendo is also one of their development projects.In the past few years, the chairman has successively recruited several "kendo special recruits", and recruited Mr. Yuan Chunzheng like a gold rush in a sand sea, so he naturally has a lot of ambitions.

For the important event of "Jade Dragon Flag", the school even asked the instructors of the clubs to accompany them.It's a pity that Mr. Yuan fell seriously ill again as expected. Forcibly taking him there is equivalent to having one more patient to take care of. If you are unlucky, you may have to call an emergency if you are not on the Shinkansen.

"Teacher Ushimaru" bowed his back against the wall in Yuan Chunzheng, looking weakly at Teacher Ushiwakamaru:

"I've been troubling you all the time, but the school attaches great importance to this competition. Can you please accompany them to Fukuoka instead of me?"

Teacher Ushiwakamaru obviously expected that the other party would ask him so, but he shook his head in embarrassment:

"Of course I am willing to help these children, but I will go to Osaka with my family in a few days, so I am afraid I can't do it."

Hearing this, the members of the Kendo Club showed a bit of disappointment.

"Cough cough!" Zai Yuan Chunzheng lowered his head thoughtfully, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really not possible, so I have to bring more antipyretics."

"No way, Teacher Zaihara!" Teacher Ushiwakamaru persuaded in horror:
"If something goes wrong with you, how can you let the children feel at ease to compete?"

"That's right." Zai Yuan Chunzheng sighed, "Then what should we do?"

Teacher Ushiwakamaru and Eihime Mizuhashi beside him also fell into hard thinking.Ordinary people would not have the heart to let him go when they saw Teacher Zaiyuan's sick but pretending to be strong.

"Well, if it really doesn't work, I have to find an agent." Teacher Ushiwakamaru calculated:
"It's better to be reliable, have a sense of responsibility, be able to handle emergencies, and know a little about combat sports. Moreover, the security in the Kyushu area is relatively poor. It's best to choose someone who can protect these children..."

Teacher Ushiwakamaru glanced at Eihime Mizuhashi, and suddenly nodded thoughtfully:

"I have a candidate here, let me ask him!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him curiously.

"He is also a student here, but I can trust him." Teacher Ushiwakamaru swore.

Teacher Ushiwakamaru winked at Eihime Mizuhashi suggestively again: "If you don't mind, you can go with me as my agent, and just go to watch a professional competition and learn some experience."
