Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 190 187. The second day of the race

On the second day, the knockout round of Yulong Banner was still held in the gymnasium.

The competition was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the scene was still as lively as yesterday, as if the attacks on the contestants had never happened.

The women's contestants of Xiujin Academy communicated with the organizer before the start of the competition, and the reply they received was: "The team competition will continue as usual, but it is allowed to send substitute players to fill in the vacancies."

In fact, besides them, there are more than a dozen other groups that also consulted the organizers with the same question, and some even protested against the unfairness of the competition and asked for a rematch on another day.

However, the organizers still gave the same set of answers, completely showing an arrogant attitude of "you want to fight or not, if you don't want to fight, just abstain and go home".

Due to limited funds, many foreign participating teams will not deliberately bring an extra substitute player.Even if some teams are equipped with substitute players, their strength is not as good as the main players, which will inevitably reduce the team's winning rate.

To sum up, none of these attacked teams can participate in the competition with a complete victory. This year, they may miss the Jade Dragon Banner.

The women's team of Xiujin Academy didn't bring any substitutes, so they could only face off with four players, and the situation was extremely unfavorable in the absence of a "leader".

In desperation, Hidehime Mizuhashi took the initiative to contact Mr. Ushiwakamaru and ask him for advice.

"It's really unlucky, how could this happen." Teacher Ushiwakamaru was very distressed after hearing this, but she couldn't persuade them to give up. After all, they didn't come home just to travel here for two days after putting in so much sweat.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Ushiwakamaru slapped his head and said, "Mizuhashi-san, go up there."

"Eh, eh, me?!" Eiji Mizuhashi was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone, pointing at herself in amazement:

"But I can't do it. I've only studied for a month or two, and it's not professional training."

"But if you can come on the bench, you can always increase the chances of winning for the students, can't you?" Teacher Ushiwakamaru sat at the table and said in a calm tone:
"I'm just making a proposal. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. After all, this request is a bit difficult for you."

"." After finishing the call, Hidehime Mizuhashi showed a rare expression of seriousness.

If Senior was entrusted with such a request, what would he do?
After pondering for a long time, she came to the other girls and said:

"Please let me come in as a substitute. I also want to help everyone."

"Eh? But Mizuhashi hasn't studied kendo professionally, has he?" A girl exclaimed, "Do you know the rules of the competition?"

"Well, I know the rules of kendo." Hideki Mizuhashi nodded decisively: "Please let me play the striker, and I will try to help you solve an opponent. No, even if it consumes the opponent's physical strength!"

After the four girls discussed, they readily agreed to let Hidehime Mizuhashi act as the "forward", that is, the first "cannon fodder" to take the lead in the team competition.

Generally speaking, the first players in the team competition are cannon fodder, used to consume the enemy's physical strength.Those who sit behind are the core main force, until the final end to complete the harvest.

The problem on the girl's side was barely resolved.On the boys side, everything was business as usual. Kyushu Cheng told them a few words about the pre-match mobilization, telling them to let go of the fight and not leave any regrets.

"Private Shujin Academy vs. Eighty Inaba High School. The first match begins!"

The women's competition started. Hidehime Mizuhashi put on a temporary small kendo uniform and took the stage holding a bamboo sword.

Just standing on the stage, Eihime Mizuhashi trembled nervously, and the bamboo sword also visibly shook.

Her opponent was a tall girl. After seeing her funny appearance, she immediately regarded her as a novice and let out a casual sneer.

"start!"

The two sides stepped forward to attack each other, the tall girl obviously underestimated the enemy, raised the bamboo sword above her head, and posed a defenseless upper-stage pose.

"Yuanmei, don't underestimate the enemy!" The teammates in the audience shouted, but the tall girl turned a blind eye to it, obviously wanting to end the match with a resounding downward strike, kicking the rookie who couldn't even hold the sword steadily out of the arena.

Eihime Mizuhashi watched her opponent through the gap in the mask, swallowing nervously.

"Don't be nervous, senior gave me special training, I will win."

In fact, her current trembling appearance is deliberately pretended, and it is also the advice given to her by her seniors:
"Mizuhashi-san's body is very petite, and it's easy to make people feel easy to bully. You can simply use this advantage to deliberately act timid and weak during the battle, and launch a fatal blow when the opponent takes it lightly."

The so-called high-end hunters often appear as prey.That's exactly what Eiji Mizuhashi planned to do - anyway, the rules of the game don't prohibit pretending to be weak and selling misery, and the opponent is cheated and can only blame himself for taking it lightly.

Facing the enemy's arrogance full of flaws, Hidehime Mizuhashi took a deep breath, stepped forward into her arms, and slashed at the opponent's face with his sword.

"Huh, I don't know how to live or die~" The tall girl immediately turned the sword, trying to fight with the opponent, and solved her by brute force.

But just when Mizuhashi Eiji's sword was about to be blocked by the opponent, she suddenly turned the bamboo sword in a small circle, "slap!" and hit the opponent's wrist.

"Hit the hand, a valid score!" Seeing this situation, the referee immediately raised the flag and announced.

The tall girl didn't fully react for a while. She thought that the other party was a novice who came to make up the numbers, but she didn't expect to be humiliated by such calculations.After hesitating for a moment, she had to suffer the consequences, regain her posture and continue the game.

However, because she was disqualified from the start, her mentality was shaken. The tall girl was also full of loopholes in the follow-up duel. In the end, she was defeated by Mizuhashi with a slight advantage and left the field with regret.

The one-day trials came to an end again in the evening, and tomorrow is the final.

The male team of Xiujin Academy was very lucky, and they were all relatively weak opponents, so they successfully entered the finals, and one person was promoted in the singles competition. Everyone planned to have a dinner party to celebrate at night.

It's a pity that the team competition of the girls' group was finally defeated, and this year they can only stop at the preliminaries.

This team currently lacks a core force, and can only recruit a novice who has just learned kendo for a few months to make up the numbers. Both the overall strength and the momentum are very sluggish.

Although Hideki Mizuhashi used the tactic of "showing the enemy with weakness" to count a few opponents with low psychological quality at the beginning, but as the game progressed, the opponents became more and more qualified, almost crushing. Sent Hideki Mizuhashi out of the arena, and then defeated the other four players one after another.One of the seeded teams almost let the forwards complete a [-]v[-], and they almost lost their face.

The four girls who participated in the team competition rejected the boys' invitation to dinner, and went back to the hotel pitifully after the competition.

After the meal, the boys went back to the hotel to rest, and Kyushu Makoto was going to continue to sleep with a knife today, in case the monster would attack again.

After taking a shower, Makoto Kyushu went to the vending machine in the lobby to buy a bottle of mineral water.He was about to go back after drinking the water, but saw Qing Palace Eliza walking in with a tired look on her face.

"How is it today?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked, "You look very tired."

"Hey" Eliza just sighed, leaning back on the sofa wearily:

"Nearly ten more players were killed just now. It's really annoying. I guess you want to know the details, right?"
