Chapter 163: Ten Wins, The Dominator Of Sayuka Kyu High School

At ten o'clock, Kimura Kazuki was rushing toward District C. He had watched Harunaka's battle, and it wasn't too shabby.

Generally, practicing during the competition time would not help one to gain much improvement. But Harunaka did improve every day, and he knew this was not an illusion, but it really did happen. This showed that the Harunaka absolutely had a knack for Kendo.

And this had pushed him to make a decision.

At this moment, he was thinking about Akino's short-term goal and had asked about it just now. But what Akino said was astonishing: she hoped that her game could gain a sale of 500,000 yen on Steam.

Although he didn't know whether this goal was an easy or a tough one, he was still considering his role in it.

Unfortunately... he didn't come up with any ideas so far.

As he was thinking, Kimura Kazuki paused his steps. This was because a person was blocking his way.

He lifted his head and saw a youthful, unfamiliar face. He had fair skin, a handsome face, and some arrogance between his eyebrows.

"Are you a descendant of the Yagyu Flying Sword Style?" Ikioi Ito also had a Tachi strapped around his waist, but it was different from Kimura Kazuki's. He wore it merely to look cool. So when he saw Kimura Kazuki carrying the Sun and Moon Sword, he acted as if he was confronted by a formidable enemy.

"Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Ikioi Ito from the Ito family." Ikioi Ito gazed at Kimura Kazuki's face and seemed to be wondering why this person was so famous when he is without a handsome face.

"Do you need anything from me?" Kimura Kazuki was baffled. The Ito family, if not mistaken, was one of the Big Eight of Japanese Kendo. He took a glance at him. High school students aren't mature, especially guys. Is this fellow here to talk tough to me?

But obviously, Kimura Kazuki guessed wrong.

Ikioi Ito cough softly, "You see... my family has properties in the entertainment industry. I observed you recently and noticed that you are very popular on the internet so I would like to invite you to team up with me and develop toward the idol industry. Based on your popularity and my visuals, together with our Kendo abilities, I believe that we will become popular all around the world very soon."

???

Kimura Kazuki was first gazing at the person as if he was staring at a fool. He would've been more comfortable if Ikioi were spouting harsh words.

"What do you think?" Ikioi Ito did not realize what Kimura Kazuki's expression in his eyes meant, obviously.

Kimura Kazuki didn't refuse directly as he knew that this kind of foolish... Chunibyo would not change his attitude. When he was a freshman, he had punched a person who was similar to him.

Also, he knew that even he had given him a definite reply, he would probably annoy him without end. He would only disappear from his life if given an impossible mission. So Kazuki acted as if he was considering and then looked and him, "Good suggestion. However... I hated being a team with someone weaker than me. Let's do like this, you are in this Jade Dragon Flag Competition, right? I will give you an opportunity, I will go with you as long as you can defeat me once."

"Sure!" Ikioi Ito agreed delightfully because he was confident in his own strength.

After that conversation, Kimura Kazuki didn't bother with him anymore. It was just a brief interlude for him, and Ikioi Ito had walked away excitedly. In his opinion, defeating Kimura Kazuki was an easy job. It seemed like Kimura was a tsundere, beating around the bush when he actually wants to become an idol.

At ten-thirty, the crew notified him that it was his turn. Kimura Kazuki, who was well-equipped, stepped into District C. Once he went on stage, he received a thunderous shower of applause.

He lifted his eyes and noticed that the audience seats were full. At this moment, the audience gave him a standing ovation excitedly as he came out. But it was fortunate that Kendo fans were civilized, so they just clapped their hands without shouting. Usually, the audience would cry out excitedly only when a match had come to an end.

However, what attracted Kimura Kazuki's attention were not this audience, but the crowd of girls led by Natsui, and a poster held by a dozen girls.

On top of the poster was a grave and stern youngster with black hair, carrying a tachi in his hand. He was in the Sakura Kyu High School uniform, with the armband saying 'Head of Disciplinary Committee' on his sleeve. The background was the classroom building of Sakura Kyu High School, with the pink cherry blossoms floating in the air. Kimura Kazuki looked much more handsome in 2D. After all, in the anime world, everyone was a hot guy or a beauty.

The girls from 'Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club' were also affected by the atmosphere. They gave loud applause even if they didn't understand Kendo well.

As before, the audience sitting beside had noticed this group of girls in Sakura Kyu High School uniforms, and these girls were here to cheer for Kimura Kazuki. They thought that it was organized by their school in the first place, but only they realized that they came voluntarily after asking. Other than an exclamation, they didn't feel any inappropriatenesses. After all, Japanese celebrity idolaters were much crazier than them. The girls' self-control was commendable.

After all, this was a Kendo competition, not an idol concert.

Kimura Kazuki was speechless, he was wondering where Natsui went when he was still at District B just now. He didn't expect her to be waiting for him in District C. If he was not mistaken, is that Chiba Shiori sitting beside Natsui?

Doesn't this fellow have to attend classes today? It isn't a weekend today.

As he was thinking, the referees announced that the competition had started.

"Kimura-Kun... such a coincidence..."

While Kimura Kazuki was bowing, he heard a voice coming from the opposite side. He took a glance and noticed that it was Kageyama Kuro.

As there were match-fixing scandals in individual competitions before this, to prevent any match-fixing, the candidates would only know the starting time of their matches. They would have no idea who their opponents were or where they came from before entering the field.

Below the shield was Kageyama Kuro's face of helpless pain. He didn't expect that he would be out of luck, meeting Kimura Kazuki in the first place.

In the team competition last time, his team was defeated by Kimura Kazuki 1 versus 5. He and his four brothers went back and were given a piece of mind from their Sensei. He was thinking of standing out in the individual competition originally, but he didn't expect that he would encounter Kimura Kazuki. This time he really couldn't have worse luck. It seemed that he has to give up on the individual competition.

While the audience showed enthusiasm in their eyes, obviously they didn't expect that Kimura Kazuki would meet with Kageyama Kuro again. From their point of view, their tangling battle last time revealed that there wasn't much difference between their real strengths. But unfortunately, there was no mystery in this round.

Even so, Kageyama Kuro had done his best eventually and nailed his Kageyama Kiai Style thoroughly. But the distance in real strength could not be made up of techniques.

But Kimura Kazuki still extended the fight with Kageyama Kuro, allowing the audience to feast their eyes.

In the end, Kageyama Kuro still lost.

Eventually, Kageyama Kuro gave an appreciative stare at Kimura Kazuki for protecting his dignity by extending the battle with him.

As a juvenile, he didn't have the mindset that you aren't respecting me if you don't do your best.

Indeed, there were a lot of people at the scene, and the recorded video will be uploaded to the internet. All the people in Japan who like Kendo will watch interesting matches, especially Kimura Kazuki's.

So even if Kageyama Kuro had lost, but it was a good defeat, an excellent one. Anyone who saw the video would not look down on him.

Kimura Kazuki didn't realize the thoughts of Kageyama Kuro, he exited under a burst of applause.

Kimura Kazuki went on to win 10 matches, accomplishing the achievement of a 10-win-streak. He had gained the entrance ticket to the main center of the Tachibana Budo Gym. Moreover, the audience was longing for more as a lot of people found watching Kimura Kazuki battle enjoyable.

Although the difference was subtle, it still made people feel comfortable.

Some people claimed that it was perhaps the beauty of the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, formidable yet making people feel carefree and joyful simultaneously.

Right after Kimura Kazuki had become famous, even Sakura Kyu High School could attract the audience's gaze.

Sakura Kyu High School was not a prestigious school, to begin with, and was not expected to win anything.

Now that Kimura Kazuki had become famous in Tokyo, many people were optimistic about Kimura Kazuki, and Sakura Kyu High school was now known as a seeded team.

Being a prestigious high school, some old incidents were dug up naturally. After all, what else could be hidden from the public during this era of big data? So during the night, a report stating that Sayura Kyu High School was still filled with a bunch of delinquents one year ago was reported, which aroused the attention of the public.

A lot of shocking incidents were leaked to the internet, many school bullying cases were discovered, and many incidents were revealed, which provoked the madness of the public. They found it hard to believe that such a high school would be much darker than society.

"As an avid fan of Kimura-Kun and after witnessing his real Kendo strength in Tachibana Budo Gym, the writer had visited Sakura Kyu High School but couldn't enter it. While they left without a choice, the student interviews were carried out when the classes were over. After the interviews, the writer realized that Sakura Kyu High School was a hell among high schools. It was such a dark high school, as seen from the opinions of the students."

The exposure of every single case of bullying games; the formation of small gangs among different ages of senior class students. They fought during their free time, bullied the other students by pretending to borrow money from them but were actually robbing them.

In a split second, Sakura Kyu High School was covered with various types of negative public opinions.

"Unbelievable? Could you confirm that the high school that you had investigated wasn't a high school with a similar name?"

"It seemed that not all Japanese are Reiwa sissies... this is how our Reiwa males should look like." (This account has been banned)

"If Sakura Kyu High School was this terrible, what role would Kimura Kazuki have played?"

"With Kimura Kazuki's strength, he might be a bully in his school."

"Kendo is for cultivating one's heart and body, not a trick to bully your classmates."

At first, they thought that these were the bad reports on the school by the reporter, but the other schools in Jinwen District, who were bullied by Kimura Kazuki, claimed that it was the truth in succession. As for the other high schools in Jinwen District, they were also bullied by Sakura Kyu High School.

There were voices from different accounts, and those accounts were not newly registered. They wanted to let everyone know that these were not fake accounts.

If those were not fake accounts, then could what this reporter said to be the truth? In the netizens' eyes, Sakura Kyu High School had turned into an assembly place for bad students in a night.

When Kimura Kazuki came to realize this, it was already one day after.

He knew this from Chiba Shiori when he went to Seigyoku and applied a Vision Spell on her. on and he didn't manage to think deeper before Chiba Shiori grinned and said, "This should be a trick of your Principal or the board members." As she spoke, she took her handphone and made a few clicks before handing over it to Kimura Kazuki.

After grabbing the handphone, Kimura Kazuki took a few glances at it. The handphone screen was displaying a news page, it's headline was interesting.

"Kimura Kazuki Is a Tyrant, Not a Bully."

"Yesterday, the news regarding Sakura Kyu High School caused a temporary clamor. I adhered to the doctrine that seeing is believing, and not hearing. So I have done an interview in Sakura Kyu High School. As per what the previous writer said, Sakura Kyu High School disliked reporters. So I could only interview the students after their classes are over. The students seemed to resist me in the very beginning. After asking them, I realized that the report on the internet was actually quoted out of context. First of all, the report of the journalist was true, but it was a matter of one year ago."

"Many people would think that there wouldn't be any difference in high school in a year. I've thought so too at first. However, after asking the students from Sakura Kyu High School, I realized that since Kimura Kazuki joined the school one year ago, he perfectly curbed violence with violence. He had beaten up all the gangs in Sakura Kyu High School. And six months after Kimura Kazuki joined the school, all the gangs in the school vanished."

"After that, the Head of Department Kimura built the Sword Believers's club and joined the Disciplinary Committee of the Student Council. All students who break school regulations and discipline would be punished by the rules. Within such a short half a year, Sakura Kyu High School had become a school with strict rules."

"It could be said that Head of Department Kimura himself had taken effective actions to clean up Sakura Kyu High School. Now there was no difference between Sakura Kyu High School and those other high schools. If one were to pick out a difference, then it would be the scene where the study groups of the Sword Believers' Club are studying Kendo around Kinshin Lake during their recess in the afternoon."

"The members of the Sword Believers' club used to be delinquents and gang members. They were basically 'bad apples.' But now they can focus and study, I have to say that it is incredible."

"But after knowing the achievements of Head of Department Kimura, I'm shocked at the same time while thinking that the study groups around Kinshin Lake were inevitable and right, other than arousing my respect. Picture attached."

The picture attached by this reporter was Kimura Kazuki's final examination results of each of the subjects during freshman year. Upon displaying this, everyone was stunned, as he had obtained almost full marks for all of the test papers.

"These marks... Does that mean that he can go to any university he wants?"

"I suddenly hope that Head of Department Kimura would bully everyone... but he is just too perfect that we can only admire him and place our expectations on him!"

"No wonder the girls from Sakura Kyu High School had set up a 'Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club.' I thought they were forced by President Kimura..."

"Club President, is the Sword Believers' Club still open for registration?"

"I want to join the Sword Believers' Club as well!"

Within two days, public opinion on the internet was overwhelmingly overturned. It happened so quick that it made everyone speechless.

Kimura Kazuki took a simple gaze and nodded his head, "I guess it was Principal Endo's work."

He even surmised that both the reporters were paid by Principal Endo as well.

As a principal, Endo Etomi had been thinking of ways to reorganize Sakura Kyu High School. But this task was already accomplished by Kimura Kazuki. So his next step was to think about ways to amplify the popularity of Sakura Kyu High School, thereby increasing the number of freshmen in the next year.

This was the reason why Principal Endo called Kimura Kazuki, but he didn't clarify it. In fact, even if Kimura Kazuki didn't win the championship of the Nationwide Jade Dragon Flag Competition, it was more than enough for Sakura Kyu High School.

Sakura Kyu High School was famous now.
