Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 183 180. The Gap Between the Two

After eating, the two wandered around the street for a while, and Jiuzhou Cheng also took the opportunity to digest the heavy food in his stomach.

"Senior, do you think this hair clip looks good?" Eihime Mizuhashi picked up a scallop hair clip from the counter of the jewelry store, stuck it on her head and gestured.

"It looks good." Kyushu said casually.

"What about this?" She picked up another classical-style hairpin and stuck it to the back of her head.

"nice."

"what about this?"

"nice."

"what about this?"

"nice."

"Senior, can't you say something else?" Hideki Mizuhashi put a string of bracelets back on the counter, puffing up her cheeks and said.

"." Jiuzhou Cheng frowned, also very embarrassed.

He doesn't understand girls' colorful dresses, they are all pretty in his eyes, so what else can he comment on?
Jiuzhou Cheng thought for a while, pointed to a hairpin and commented: "This hairpin is made of good toughness, and the end is very sharp. It is very suitable as a hidden weapon for girls."

"Senior." Mizuhashi Eiji couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only mutter and shout, but she was too embarrassed to get angry.

She is not the girlfriend of the senior, but the senior temporarily became her "imitation boyfriend" out of kindness.It would be too bad if she got angry at her senior like an ordinary girlfriend.

Eiji Mizuhashi walked around the store again, and finally decided not to buy it.This is the fun of shopping, even if you go shopping for a long time without buying anything, you will still be very happy in the end.

But just as she came to her senses, she found that Jiuzhou Cheng had already paid in front of the counter.

"Senior, what did you buy?" Hideki Mizuhashi asked in surprise.

Kyushu accepted the gift box handed over by the cashier at the counter, and handed it to Eiji Mizuhashi: "It's for you."

"Eh?" Mizuhashi Hideki was flattered, but still opened the box carefully.

On the soft silk cloth lies an old metal hairpin, with a few strings of colorful glass beads hanging on the top, hanging on the head as you walk, these beads will flicker, quite cute.

"In ancient times, women used hairpins as hidden weapons for self-defense." Makoto Kyushu said solemnly, "This one is made of metal, so I'll give it to you to make do with it."

When the cashier at the side heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then bowed again and again: "I'm sorry! Customer! I'm really sorry!"

"Pfft. Haha, thank you senior." Eiji Mizuhashi couldn't help laughing, and happily accepted the gift.

His speech and behavior are extremely absurd, but he cares about others in his heart.It is because of this that seniors are unique and cute.

She reluctantly tied up her short black hair and put the hairpin behind her head.

"Is it pretty, senior?" Eihime Mizuhashi asked.

"nice."

"Well, this is the answer again. But I am very happy, thank you senior."

After leaving the jewelry store, the sky gradually darkened, and the two returned to the hotel.

Although the two of them didn't come to participate in the competition, they couldn't go back too late, otherwise it would affect everyone's rest.

Back at the hotel, the students of Xiujin Academy are gathering for a meeting to discuss tomorrow's tactics and hold a mobilization meeting.

There were contestants from other schools in the hotel, but everyone just glanced at each other without any communication, and they were obviously wary of each other.

"Senior, do we want to go to the game room?" Mizuhashi Hideki said to Kyushu Makoto after greeting her classmates.

"No problem, Ying-chan~" Kyushu Makoto readily agreed.Anyway, it's a simulated date now, so just follow her arrangement.

The game room in Wano Kuni Hotel is generally equipped with ping-pong tables, billiard tables, and dart machines, all of which are suitable for multiple people to play.

Due to the Jade Dragon Flag competition, the owner of the hotel deliberately vacated a field in the game room as a training ground, so that the players staying there could practice their hands before the competition.

Young people in twos and threes were practicing with swords on the training ground. Seeing this scene, Hideki Mizuhashi's nerves tensed up, as if recalling her hard training during this period.

"Really hard work, these people." Jiuzhou Cheng pinched his chin and smiled slightly: "After all, it is a national competition, and it is normal for them to be under pressure."

In fact, players like Xiujin Academy who participate in the competition at public expense are only a small number of people.Most of the contestants who participated in the Jade Dragon Banner came here at their own expense, without any financial support, not even people cheering for them on the spot. The travel expenses may be earned from part-time jobs. Once they fail in the competition, it is tantamount to letting down their youth.

Eiji Mizuhashi took out a bamboo knife from the wooden barrel in the corner of the training ground in a daze, and swung it carefully twice.Although the movement is obviously more blunt, it has already begun to take shape.

"Senior, let's compete with me!"

She turned around, and there was a flame in her eyes.

"Why?" Jiuzhou Cheng heard that the other party's tone was serious, but he was very puzzled.

Of course Kyushu Makoto heard that she was learning swordsmanship from Ushiwakamaru teacher, but she was still far behind him. I don't know how brave Mizuhashi-sister has to challenge him to a duel.

"That... I want to know how big the gap is between me and senior." Hideki Mizuhashi mustered up her courage and replied in a low voice:
"Please, please compete with me!"

"Then try it." Kyushu Makoto also took out a bamboo knife from the barrel, and swung it a few times to test the weight and feel.

"Senior, do you also use swords?" Hideki Mizuhashi asked curiously.

"I can use whatever I want." Jiuzhou Cheng explained with a smile: "It just happens that there is a bamboo sword here."

"That's right, as expected of a senior, he can use any weapon." Eiji Mizuhashi sighed softly, and stood a few steps away.

As the sparring began, Hidehime Mizuhashi began to observe the opponent with both hands holding the sword, and slowly moved sideways.

The way of swordsmanship is not to rush forward and slash, but to brake quietly, first observe the enemy's weakness, and then launch a fatal attack.

However, Mizuhashi Eihime circled Kyushu Makoto several times, but she still couldn't find the opponent's weakness.

After all, Kyushu Makoto's rank is too high, just a random stop, in Mizuhashi Eihime's view, it is a perfect and impeccable defensive posture.

On the contrary, Kyushu Makoto observed several weaknesses of Eiji Mizuhashi, and could defeat her with one move at any time.

In order to test Eiji Mizuhashi's current strength, Kyushu Makoto decided to deliberately sell a flaw, so as to give her a chance to show it off.

So Jiuzhou Cheng deliberately pretended to react slowly, and lowered the bamboo sword in his hand a few inches.

As expected, Hidehime Mizuhashi seized this opportunity, immediately shouted "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"On the surface, the sword was intended to attack the opponent's head, but in reality, the sword circled a small circle in a sinister manner, and then slashed at his hand.

"Increase momentum and intimidate opponents by shouting loudly." Makoto Kyushu nodded in admiration:
"Furthermore, this sword has deception techniques in it, and there are so many techniques in just one move. It seems that Teacher Ushiwakamaru taught it very well."

Then, with a flick of his sword, he flew out Mizuhashi Eiji's bamboo sword, and placed his own on her neck.

Eiji Mizuhashi looked at Makoto Kyushu in astonishment, and realized she had lost three seconds later—with just one move, she was completely defeated, and Makoto Kyushu probably didn't even use half of his strength.

"The sword moves you learn are weird and changeable, and they are very suitable for people like you who lack strength and can only rely on skills to win." Jiuzhou Cheng took a breath and began to teach eloquently:

"But your experience is not sophisticated enough, your eyes and movements are not confident enough, and your moves are also imitated. You lack your own understanding, so it is easy to be seen through."

When Makoto Kyushu said this, Hidehime Mizuhashi hung her head a little bit disappointed.

"But don't be discouraged, you have made good progress in a short period of time." Jiuzhou Cheng also threw away the bamboo sword in his hand, and gently rubbed Shuiqiao Xuemei's head to show comfort:

"You have to practice more and feel more until you find your own style. If you don't mind, I can also guide you a few times, as long as you promise not to use what I teach you to harm others."

"Yeah." Mizuhashi Eihime nodded obediently, leaned on Kyushu Makoto lightly, and said softly, "Sure enough, senior is very powerful~"

"I'm just an ordinary person." Jiuzhou Cheng said with a smile: "As long as Ying Jiang is willing to work hard, it's only a matter of time before I reach my level."

"Hey, can I really be as good as senior?" Hideki Mizuhashi exclaimed.

"Of course! I warned you before, don't think too badly of yourself, you have great potential!" Jiuzhou Cheng suggested: "If you don't mind, let me guide you to train for a while?"

"Well, please senior!"

Half an hour later, the two came out of the game room dripping with sweat.

"It's getting late, let's end today's simulated date, Mizuhashi-san. Although it ended a bit strangely." Makoto Kyushu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and continued to tirelessly teach:
"If you want to improve in martial arts, you must train persistently, and you must understand every movement you make, so that your muscles can generate memory."

Mizuhashi Eihime nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, obediently listening to the lecture.

Kyushu Cheng was halfway through speaking, but the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

In the hotel lobby, he suddenly saw a familiar girl with a single ponytail on one side, wearing casual clothes in the color of a witch with white on top and red on the bottom.

"Miss Qing Gong!" Jiuzhou Cheng stepped forward to say hello curiously: "Why are you here?"

"Red?" Qing Palace Eliza was also a little surprised.She looked at Jiuzhou Cheng, then glanced at the girl next to Jiuzhou Cheng, and subconsciously asked:

"Your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Eiji Mizuhashi immediately explained anxiously, for fear of being misunderstood and affecting Kyushu Makoto's reputation: "No, no! We are just classmates! Seniors have always taken care of me! Haha~"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in hearing this." Eliza waved her hand, signaling Eihime Mizuhashi to stop talking.

"Why did you come to Fukuoka suddenly, Miss Qing Gong?" Kyushu Makoto asked again.

"I came here on a business trip as a commission, and I happened to live in this hotel too, but I don't like it here. It feels a bit too old for a long time, and I can't book a high-end hotel." Eliza blinked and whispered in Kyushu Makoto's ear.

"What entrustment? Is it to protect the competition venue?" Makoto Kyushu asked.

"Well, almost." Eliza nodded: "The minimum requirement for security entrustment is Class B. I happened to pass the exam two days ago."

"That's it, that's really congratulations." While Jiuzhou Cheng was happy for her, he also felt a little embarrassed.He is still at the third grade, and in a sense, a pathetic barrier has formed between the two of them.

"Anyway, the greetings are over, let's do our own thing." Eliza waved her hand, turned and left.

She paused, then turned her head and said:
"Be careful, Hongzhong. Don't imagine this place is too peaceful, but don't be too brave."
