Kasumigaoka paused, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly:
"I want to try."
"Then let's give it a try." Aoba smiled and pinched the girl's cheek. "I believe Ms. Kasumi will succeed!"
There was no persuasion whatsoever. (For super-exciting novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
I am simply offering my sincere wishes for the girl's success from a third-party perspective.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a long time, looking at Aoba with her mouth opening and closing several times, but she couldn't say a word.
Until they gradually gained more popularity around them.
She slowly exhaled, and before anyone knew it, she had quietly hooked her elbow around Qingye's, her face beaming with a smile:
"The store manager is really..."
"Do you have that much confidence in me?"
Feeling the warmth of Kasumigaoka, Aoba smiled faintly:
"Because it's you, that's all."
"..."
Silent emotions seemed to gently linger around us at this moment.
The tacit understanding between the two after more than a year of getting along needs no further explanation.
"After finishing 'Love Metronome,' I want to write a biography about the shop manager."
suddenly.
The girl stood in the sunlight and smiled as she spoke.
"So sudden? I don't have anything to write about, do I?"
"How not?"
Kasumigaoka has curved eyebrows and eyes.
"There is no one in the world more suitable than the store manager!"
"So sure?"
"Because he's the store manager, that's all."
"Hey?! Those are my lines!"
"Hmph, anyone can say that, but if the shop manager says something so cool, who knows how many girls he'll fool in the future!"
"Hmm... So far, it's just you."
"Huh?! You really want a lot?!"
"Ahem, we've arrived at the Kendo Club. I'm going in to take a look. Kasumigaoka-kun, would you like to come along?"
While the two were chatting and laughing, Aoba had already arrived at his destination.
"Kendo Club?"
Kasumigaoka looked up in confusion.
When did the shop manager become interested in Kendo?
They stood at the entrance of the kendo club for only a moment when a heavy thud echoed from inside, followed by rapidly amplified voices:
"Senior Busujima!"
"Is there anything else? Is it really that difficult to join the kendo club?"
"Because you are not sincere about the way of the sword..."
The doors to the Kendo Club opened.
Saeko Busujima was still wearing a somber, heavy purple blouse, but her high ponytail added a touch of youthful energy.
His right hand gripped the wooden sword hilt in reverse, and his heroic face exuded a powerful aura.
His appearance brought the entire kendo club to life.
Saeko Busujima gently raised her hand, and the wooden sword spun lightly in her hand, instantly landing on the other person's shoulder and neck as if it were her own arm.
"Kendo is different from other hobbies. To join the kendo club, the first requirement is sincerity..."
"Just as Senior Aoba said today, it doesn't matter if you have average talent, as long as you work hard, you can admit defeat with dignity..."
"And you joined the kendo club really because you like it?"
While talking.
The blocked entrance was cleared to make way for a path.
Saeko Busujima, who had been expressionless as she looked towards the door, suddenly smiled.
"Senior Aoba."
The club's doors opened.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman standing at the door.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was youthful and beautiful; they seemed like a perfect match.
Saeko Busujima blinked, her gaze involuntarily falling on Kasumigaoka.
"Miss Busujima".
"Hello, Poison Island... classmate."
Chapter 176 Swordplay Competition!
"Who is this classmate?"
Aoba stepped forward and introduced:
"Kasumigaoka Utaha is an old friend of mine."
After transferring schools, Saeko Busujima learned about them and knew that the current top student was a student named Kasumigaoka Utaha.
However, seeing it with my own eyes today was somewhat unexpected.
"I didn't expect it to be Kasumigaoka-senpai. Nice to meet you."
Kasumigaoka Utaha bowed slightly.
"Ms. Busujima, nice to meet you. I'm just accompanying the manager here. Um... you guys go ahead with your work, I have some things to do with the class."
Seeing Kasumigaoka leave, Saeko Busujima naturally didn't try to stop her. She nodded and smiled, watching Kasumigaoka leave, and casually glanced at Kasumigaoka's long, slender legs.
Aoba didn't notice these small details. After saying goodbye to Kasumigaoka, he went into the kendo club.
Seeing the dazzling array of bamboo knives, I felt a sudden urge to ask:
"Bukushima-kun, can I give it a try?"
Although I've only used a proper katana twice, I have to admit that the allure of this standard weapon is just too strong.
Saeko Busujima looked surprised as she gracefully approached the sword holder containing the bamboo swords:
"Aoba-kun is interested in swordsmanship?"
Aoba nodded thoughtfully:
"It's probably a case of being eager to hunt, and also wanting to learn more self-defense techniques, since the world is becoming increasingly turbulent."
These words immediately stunned Saeko Busujima.
Self-defense?
Where can I learn kendo for self-defense?
She was raised with the family’s kendo tradition from a young age and knew that kendo’s effectiveness in self-defense was extremely limited.
More than self-defense, the sword excels at...
It's still just killing!
Use the sword in your hand to inflict maximum damage with the fastest and easiest force!
This is the true meaning of the art of swordsmanship!
Saeko Busujima suddenly pulled two bamboo swords casually from the sword cassette, handed one to Aoba, and tilted her head, a smirk playing on her lips:
"Aoba-kun, would you like to experience it?"
"The...allure of Kendo?"
Her meaning was clear.
Compared to the basic kendo moves taught in the club, Aoba, who already possesses formidable martial prowess, is better suited to experience them directly in combat.
The essence of skill lies in the body.
The full charm can only be experienced in battle and combat.
This is Saeko Busujima's kendo.
"Now?" Aoba was also a little surprised. After taking the bamboo sword, he couldn't help but ask:
"Then my opponent is..."
"I."
While talking.
Saeko Busujima had already walked to the side of the arena, her high purple ponytail swaying as she moved, her white kendo uniform moving nimbly with her bamboo sword.
She was already in the fighting stance.
"So sudden?"
Upon hearing this, Aoba chuckled helplessly.
But without the slightest hesitation, he gripped the bamboo sword in his preferred manner, his eyes fixed intently on Saeko Busujima:
"Bukushima-kun, let me make this clear first, I really don't know how, so please go easy on me later."
