Chapter 171: Heart Terrorizing Bell
The effects brought upon the world by the era of reiki recuperation were comprehensive and multi-faceted.
The effects were most pronounced when it came to the general living lifestyle. This is because the world consisted of mostly ordinary people, no matter how one looked at it. On top of that, the updated moral education and the morality of human beings shifted as well. After the recuperation of reiki, the world was still ruled by countries instead of having sectarians and supreme families like the fantasy world.
Meanwhile, in this mild world, ordinary people would have the motivation and a sense of commitment to building a generation of recuperation of reiki. The postgraduates and PhDs in the Spiritual Academy were still respected by others even though they could not practice.
The concerns that worried Furuhashi Sakurakyu were, in fact, straightforward for Kimura Kazuki.
There was a psychologist in his past life who had discovered a spell named the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell.' Though the name was slightly villainous, it was truly a mild spell in essence.
The 'Heart Terrorizing Bell' was used by the psychologist to cure mental illnesses such as depression, mania, and anxiety.
Other than that, the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell' also worked for guidance. It would be way more effective compared to Furuhashi Sakurakyu's verbal guidance in the dreamland.
After Furuhashi Sakurakyu found out the effects of the spell, she looked at Kimura Kazuki with doubt, "You know that I'm claustrophobic, but why don't you cure me with this spell?"
Kimura Kazuki remained silent. Since Furuhashi Sakurakyu would form into reiki sooner or later, it would be a waste of time to cure her.
Meanwhile, Furuhashi Sakurakyu groaned internally.
According to Kimura Kazuki's explanation, the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell' was a mild spell, and it had a progressive cycle. The whole treatment process required at least one month.
However, the Jade Dragon Flag Competition would have already ended long before a month was up. What if Harunaka won the champion? She might already ascend! Since she was supposed to cure four of her daughters using the spell... By excluding Akino, she would require at least three months to guide Harunaka, Natsui, and Fuyuno in using the spell.
Only if Harunaka loses in the Jade Dragon Flag competition. Her heart relaxed briefly once she thought of it.
As this was not impossible... As long as Harunaka did not win the Jade Dragon Flag competition, she would have a considerable amount of time to conduct guidance.
Kimura Kazuki looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. "I've passed you the spell, please guide your daughters nicely. If I discovered that you use it for the others, you'll know the consequences. Also, the dreamland that you entered just now should be Akino's dreamland, and you must've gotten some wrong information regarding Harunaka and me over there," he said in a faint tone. He then told Furuhashi Sakurakyu about the incident of the Dragon Bone Soup and Harunaka.
He knew that Akino had been eavesdropping outside the bathroom in the afternoon, but he thought that it was unnecessary to point it out. However, since Furuhashi Sakurakyu was Harunaka's mother, he would not let her misunderstand them.
"Oh... Is it?" Furuhashi Sakurakyu made a dry laugh awkwardly... She did not suspect Kimura Kazuki's explanation as she could just go into Harunaka's dreamland to identify whether Kimura Kazuki had spoken the truth.
She got slightly hopeless at this moment. For Harunaka to seize the woman group championship, Kimura Kazuki had been helping her to boost her physical standard, and he even taught her to practice 'Rainstorm Style.' It was actually a great thing, but... the champion would be in Harunaka's hands securely this way.
She had only half a month left?
"Do you need anything else?" Kimura Kazuki looked at Furuhashi Sakurakyu's drastic change of expression and frowned slightly.
"Nothing..." Furuhashi Sakurakyu wanted to say something, but she stopped.
How could she tell Kimura Kazuki that she was guiding her daughter to fall in love with him recently? Even if she explained by telling Kimura Kazuki her thoughts and her hopes that he would stop Harunaka from getting champion, she might ascend in advance.
According to her understanding of Kimura Kazuki, she was afraid that he would not agree with her unreasonable request.
As she pondered, Kimura Kazuki went back to sleep. Furuhashi Sakurakyu did not give up. She was going to find a way out by herself. The next day, Kimura Kazuki was all ready to go.
The school team was led by Mr. Matsamura as usual. However, he was not as perfunctory as before. Instead, he was excited.
At first, Matsumura thought that the school was only going for the district qualifiers, but both the Men's and Women's Team had won champion for both divisions unexpectedly... As for the individual category, aside from Furuhashi Harunaka and Kimura Kazuki, the Head of Department of Kendo Association, Iwai Hokuto had also defeated 10 contestants consecutively.
Even though the qualifiers start at nine-thirty, Kimura Kazuki and the others had arrived at Tachibana Budo Gym at eight-thirty.
"Wow, the crowd is insane!"
"I'm getting nervous."
"This crowd is incomparable with the previous one."
"I've heard that there are around 14,000 seats in Tachibana Budo Gym. Does this mean that we are going to compete in front of that many people?"
Everyone started to get a little nervous after hearing that, even Harunaka had started to indulge in flights of fancy. She looked toward Kimura Kazuki subconsciously and noticed that her senpai was still the same, so calm and intention. Eventually, her anxiety was gradually relieved.
Unlike the divisions previously, the flow of people in Tachibana Budo Gym was so tremendous that people were squeezing each other at all of the eight entrances. The number of people were few compared to the previous divisions.
"Yamashita was right. The audience was quite a few previously as everyone was waiting for the finals." Matsumura was considered a fan of Kendo, or else he would not be leading the team. "As for the competition today, other than commentators, there will also be live broadcasts on television... Moreover, the contestants selected from each division must have high standards, unlike the uneven strength distribution in previous divisions. That's the reason why the gym will definitely be fully seated today."
This could be easily seen from the past district qualifiers.
Harunaka, who was calm, started to get nervous again upon hearing that. She looked at senpai once again and calmed herself. For Harunaka, she could be calmed by looking at senpai's composure no matter how anxious she was.
"Are you... Kimura-san?" Matsumura could not stop talking as he walked. As they got closer to Tachibana Budo Gym, people started to call out with excitement from the sides.
Students of Sakura Kyu High School were wearing uniforms as their Kendo suit would be provided by the organizer. They could only change their attire after they arrive at the Tachibana Budo Gym.
Due to the online discussions previously, most of the people from Tokyo could recognize Kimura Kazuki and also how Sakura Kyu's uniform looked like. Therefore, all of them placed high hopes on Kimura Kazuki in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition.
People were crying out on the internet for the past two days that those from Tokyo should not even think of winning the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition.
Regional discrimination existed in all countries. In the past, those from Tokyo looked down on those from other districts. This was because, for them, it was all considered the countryside except for Tokyo.
No one would have ever thought that these people could be so troublesome!
However, their concern was that they actually discovered many dark horses when they watched the videos of the competitions on the Jade Dragon Flag's official website. From the videos, it seemed like their abilities were not weaker than Kimura Kazuki's.
Therefore, when the audience recognized Kimura Kazuki, they started screaming and surrounded the students from Sakura Kyu High School.
