Chapter 130: Senpai Please Teach Me Kendo!

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Japan’s first sword saint in the past life was Fumihiro Senshin.

According to his explanation, the heart of ‘The Art of Kendo’ was the Art of Sword Summoning.

However, people would mistake the Art of Sword Summoning with Huaxia’s Art of Sword Summoning, since Huaxia from Ulsan Mountain was renowned throughout the world. Hence Fumihiro Senshin changed the name of the Art of Sword Summoning in ‘The Art of Kendo’ to the Art of Sword Power.

There was a difference between Huaxia’s Art of Sword Summoning and Art of Sword Power.

Huaxia’s Art of Sword Summoning focused more on the assimilation of consciousness with the weapon, so the weapon would be controlled by the man’s consciousness, like an arm. The Art of Sword Power, on the other hand, believes in the sword power as the core. The reiki acted as support, producing a sword aura that would spread in all four directions.

Regardless of whether it was Art of Sword Summoning or Art of Sword Power, in the age of recuperation of reiki, these moves were literally inexplicable.

Hence for Kimura Kazuki, apart from the Art of Sword Power in ‘The Art of Kendo,’ the rest of the Kendo art could be used for commercial purposes.

If Yagyu Kenichiro’s daughter wanted to learn the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, all she needed was to provide money.

Yagyu Kenichiro was a little surprised, but he was happy when Kimura Kazuki agreed swiftly. He was actually prepared to have a really long conversation to persuade him. Still, he did not expect that Kimura Kazuki would agree to disclose the Yagyu Flying Sword Style to his daughter.

After he hung up the phone, Yagyu Kenichiro sent the address to Kimura Kazuki, which Kimura Kazuki replied with a message “Received” and released a sigh.

Boom! The sound came from the side.

Yagyu Kenichiro watched his daughter strike the wooden post ferociously with a blade, emitting a loud sound as the blade struck the wooden post each time. No matter how long he observed her, his daughter’s natural strength shocked him most of the time. When he thought of the phone call that he had recently, he shouted, “Shizuka, I’ve found a Kendo master for you.”

“What?” Shizuka looked suspiciously at her father.

A Kendo teacher? She thought of it, and her face gleamed with excitement.

“Which senior in the Kendo world did you find?”

The Kendo world she was referring to was the traditional Kendo circle instead of the competitive Kendo world, such as the Ono family and Sugawara family, who were representatives of conventional Kendo arts.

Yagyu Shizuka was overconfident in her abilities, she used to feel that she would eventually surpass her father in a few years.

Ever since she had comprehended the sword power, her abilities increased drastically, and she felt that she would definitely surpass her father after some time. If it ever happens, her father would not be able to belittle her anymore. Additionally, her father drank and smoked daily, so his abilities would be significantly reduced.

Yagyu Kenichiro coughed lightly and said, “It’s not the seniors that you were hoping for, it is the young man in the video that you saw yesterday. He’s called Kimura.”

“What?” Shizuka showed her incisors and wrinkled her nose, her gaze portraying her dissatisfaction, “That person may have hidden his abilities, but I believe that I will outperform him in a few days.

Yagyu Kenichiro shook his head, “Maybe you will, but Kimura Kazuki has mastered the Yagyu Flying Sword Style. I have allowed you to be apprenticed to him so you can learn the Yagyu Flying Sword Style. He will arrive in the afternoon, please show him the utmost respect and don’t be rude.”

The Yagyu Flying Sword Style?!

“Is it Master Isshin’s Yagyu Flying Sword Style?”

“Yes.”

Yagyu Kenichiro thought that his daughter would agree to it, but he saw her defiantly shaking her head and said, “He may be a master in the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, but if he is not better than me. I refuse to be apprenticed to him. If Master Isshin can create Yagyu Flying Sword Style, I can also discern my own art of Kendo. Even though the Yagyu Flying Sword Style may be exceptional, it may not be suited for me.”

Yagyu Kenichiro couldn’t believe it. His daughter excelled in many things. Harnessing the power of her sword at 14-years-old, she should be proud, but overconfidence would be her downfall.

“I’m going to school. When the Kimura person arrives in the afternoon, I will let him know that not everybody can be Yagyu Shizuka’s Kendo master,” Yagyu Shizuka snorted. Yagyu’s Kendo dojo was situated near her elementary school, so she would always return home for lunch. She left for school, leaving behind a very troubled Yagyu Kenichiro.

——

In the afternoon, at Sakura Kyu High School’s Kendo Association.

“What! Head of Department Kimura, you want to join the Kendo Association?” The Kendo Association’s Head of Department Iwai Hokuto was confused. He felt uneasy internally and asked, “Head of Department Kimura, can you tell me the reason for this?”

Although Iwai Hokuto was the Head of the Kendo Association, he felt intimidated when faced with Kimura Kazuki. In fact, all the students in Sakura Kyu High School were afraid of him.

His Kendo abilities had not even reached a higher level, even if he fought with Kimura Kazuki, he could not last even three rounds of fighting with him. Also, he did not dare to rebel against Kimura Kazuki’s authority, let alone fight with him. After all, Kimura Kazuki was also the Chairman of the Students’ Disciplinary Board.

“I heard that the Kendo Association was disqualified in the first round of preliminaries last year,” narrated Kimura Kazuki. He had browsed through some information in the afternoon, and also knew that Iwai Hokuto was the head of the Kendo Association the previous year. However, they were disqualified when the district’s preliminaries had just started and were badly defeated in the individual category.

This statement made Iwai Hokuto hung his head in shame and disappointment. He was not the only one, the old club members also did the same.

Only the female club members were indifferent to it, as female club members were less than five, which made them ineligible to participate in the team category. Nonetheless, this year had more new members joining the club, which was enough to form a team to enter into the team category this year.

“I will be entering into junior year next year, so I will focus on preparing for the college entrance exam. Hence, I want to leave behind something in my sophomore year,” Kimura Kazuki answered softly. “Coincidentally, my Kendo abilities are quite satisfactory. Also, the district’s preliminaries will soon be starting. Of course, a lot of members will definitely want to participate in the competition, so we shall use our abilities as the qualifier. The strongest shall qualify for the competition.”

“This is not necessary, Head of Department Kimura. You will definitely be on the list of participants,” said an enthusiastic Hayakawa Naoki, the deputy head of the Kendo Association to Kimura Kazuki.

He turned his head and saw everybody’s baffled looks, but he did not care, and with an excited expression, continued, “Everybody must’ve not seen Head of Department Kimura’s abilities! All of you can search for the website NICONICO on your phones, where you can see Kimura Kazuki battling Kendo with other people on the first page! The video has already reached more than four million views!”

Everybody was shocked upon hearing it.

The knew the website NICONICO, as everybody uses it regularly. But since the Kendo competition was almost starting, everybody was training intensely, and they did not have the time to surf the net. In addition to that, they had to focus on their studies too, which was very tiring.

Upon hearing the Deputy Head of Department’s statement, they took out their phones.

At this moment, Furuhashi Harunaka burst through the doors. She apologized as she entered, “I am sorry that I am late.”

When she raised her head up, she saw Kimura Kazuki and was surprised, “Senpai, you are here!” She was late because she had run off to find Kimura Kazuki, but there was no one in the classroom. She sent him an email, but she never got a reply for it, so she had to go to the society.

“You arrived at the right time, I have something to tell you.”

“Senpai, I have something to tell you.”

Both of them opened their mouths simultaneously and were stunned.

“What were you going to talk about? I’ll go after you.” Kimura Kazuki signaled for her to speak first.

Upon hearing this, Furuhashi Harunaka looked around at the members of the Kendo Association and saw that they were on their phones doing something unknown to her. Although she was curious, she pulled Kimura Kazuki to the side.

She took a huge breath and bowed deeply, “Senpai, I watched the video clip on NICONICO, and witnessed Senpai’s abilities. I feel that I am still not good enough, so I hope Senpai will be able to teach me Kendo. This time, I will not give up on learning! Please give me a chance, Senpai. I will definitely pay you a satisfactory fee.”
