Chapter 243: Very Happy

The Youbi Sword Drawing Skill was specially designed by Kimura Kazuki for Harunaka. Chiba Shiori could not help but curl her lips into a smile when she heard about this and noticed that Harunaka glanced at her inadvertently.

Harunaka-san is very cute indeed.

Harunaka obviously had no idea that Kazuki did it for the sole purpose of fulfilling Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s wishes, but Chiba Shiori knew it because that was what Kimura Kazuki told her. Back then, she found Kimura Kazuki weird when she first met him at Akichi High School. She only found out about the existence of wraiths and specters in the world when she witnessed with her own eyes how dreadful the demons were.

If she was frightened at that time, she probably would not have any interaction with Kimura Kazuki. It’s only because of my relentless pestering that Kazuki came around to accept me. Certainly, it has got something to do with my intelligence too.

She fought over all these by herself. Apparently, Harunaka had no idea that she had already taken the lead way before Harunaka started to have feelings for Kimura Kazuki.

However, Chiba Shiori did not treat her lightly because she was well aware that Kazuki was teaching Harunaka every day in order to fulfill Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsessiveness. Who knows if Kazuki will start to treat Harunaka differently after all those times they have spent together?

And he even specially designed a sword style for Harunaka-san… Thus, Harunaka was not the only one with a sense of crisis, she had a strong sense of crisis too. Based on her understanding of Kazuki, she knew how straight and insensitive he was in relationship matters. How to deal with a straight and insensitive man then? The easiest way would be to make him inseparable from you! It’s really simple!

Such a simple trick would work on other men but it was useless on Kimura Kazuki, owing to the fact that he was an extraordinary individual but she was not. Hence, she would have to work very hard as they were staying in two different worlds.

However, Harunaka had somehow caught up. She had been practicing Kendo, so she would definitely have more common topics to talk about with Kazuki. This was also the main reason for her sense of insecurity.

The audience was taken aback by the surprise while Chiba Shiori was immersed in her thoughts. The final sword style that Furuhashi Harunaka performed is called the Youbi Sword Drawing Skill? And it was created by Kimura Kazuki?

It was a known fact that anyone who was able to create a sword style was undoubtedly a person who had his own modern thoughts and style in ancient times. Those people were all the figures who epitomized the essence of a school of thought and established their own style and sect. Of course, Kimura Kazuki merely created the Youbi Sword Drawing Skill, it was not a Kendo style. But how young is he? According to the information, he is merely 17 years old!

He was only 17 years old and yet he was able to develop a sword style. How terrifying was this talent?

Shu Nakajima, who was holding the microphone, was stunned too.

It was impressive enough even if he made reference to the sword style of other Kendo styles. Even the renowned swordsman and sword saints in the Warring States Period had referred to other sword styles and innovated it in order to establish their own style.

Katsuki Sugawara, who was standing on the left of Harunaka, could not help but be amazed too. She took a glance around her and saw Kimura Kazuki, who was at the rest area of Sakura Kyu High School. Meanwhile, the director knew exactly what to do at this moment, he turned the camera to Kimura Kazuki. The crowd burst into cheers in an instant when they saw Kimura Kazuki with his calm demeanor.

The focus of the camera and cheering sound from the crowd seemed to move Kimura Kazuki. However, this was an award ceremony after all, so the director had to turn the camera to focus on Harunaka in the end.

Shu Nakajima held the microphone in his hand and exclaimed with admiration, “Superb…”

Harunaka nodded heavily upon hearing that. “Of course, senpai is the most awesome person I’ve ever seen. Moreover, he taught me all the sword styles, the one that I am using is also a Yagyu Flying Sword Style.”

Shu Nakajima said with a soft smile, “Furuhashi-san, it seems like you are very fond of your senpai.”

Harunaka blushed and was completely at a loss as to what to do because of the tease from the elderly, Shu Nakajima and the cheering from the audience.

Chiba Shiori was slightly surprised under the stage. Something came into her mind and she clapped softly as she looked at Harunaka with her face full of admiration.

She knew that this was Harunaka’s tactic. She stirred up the vibe first so that everyone would pair up Kazuki and Harunaka. When the crowd saw them as a couple, the other girls definitely would not dare to approach Kazuki. Kazuki was so outstanding after all, he even led Sakura Kyu High School to the championship of the national competition. She was afraid that there would be more girls who would admire or even confess to him. On the other hand, if everyone thought that Kazuki and Harunaka were a couple, other girls would certainly not be able to interfere in their relationship.

This was why Chiba Shiori thought Harunaka was very good indeed. She knew Kazuki too well to know that he would not bother about these comments. She thought Harunaka must be well aware of Kazuki’s character too. Thus, when the moment came, they would be their only rival in love for each other without interruptions from any other girl, things were much easier this way.

However, Harunaka actually did not even think about these. She simply wanted to let everyone know how awesome and powerful her senpai was, out of the intention of showing off. She hoped the world would know that Furuhashi Harunaka had such a fabulous senpai. And that was all.

Chiba Shiori was simply overthinking.

Harunaka did not dare to say anything more when Shu Nakajima asked her questions again. She was really worried that the crowd would piss senpai off if they continued to stir things up.

After the award ceremony of the women’s category ended, finally it was the turn for the top three winners of the individual match to go forth and receive their prizes.

All eyes were on them at this moment!

Kimura Kazuki from the men’s category did not receive his prize on the stage, but being the champion of the individual match, he could not possibly ask someone else to take the trophy for him.

When Kimura Kazuki stood in the middle of the podium and received his trophy, he was given a big round of applause that nobody from the men’s or women’s category ever received.

The crowd could not contain their excitement, many of Kimura Kazuki’s fans stood up and cheered, “The best club president! I love you, Club President! One Hit Man!” They were shouting all sorts of words. The place turned chaotic in an instant.

Shu Nakajima looked at the scene before him with a smile on his face. He had to admit that Kimura Kazuki was too dazzling this year.

He could not stay away from the eyes of the public even if he tried to keep a low profile.

During the district qualifiers, although Kimura Kazuki was treated as one of the seeded players and spectators from other areas had seen his videos too, they were not too amazed by him. After all, Mizuki Sugawara and Tomoya Saito had defeated all their opponents within seconds too.

However, Kimura Kazuki basically beat all his opponents within seconds when the national competition started. People started to realize that Kimura Kazuki might not have shown his actual skills in the district qualifiers.

He was so powerful at his young age, and this naturally attracted admiration from the public. As an ethnic that worshipped the mighty, Kimura Kazuki’s popularity skyrocketed infinitely.

In addition, Sakura Kyu High School won the championship in every category. Harunaka from the women’s category also expressly said that her skills were all taught by her senpai, and that Kimura Kazuki even created the Youbi Sword Drawing Skill for her.

How could they not like such a person who was so talented, yet humble and kept a low profile?

After the chaos calmed down, Shu Nakajima said with a smile while holding his microphone, “Kimura-san, Sakura Kyu High School have successfully swept all the Jade Dragon Flags under your lead and taken down the title of champion for all three categories, is there anything that you would like to say?”

Something slipped into Kimura Kazuki’s mind when he heard the words. He put on a smile that he rarely showed anyone on his face. “Very happy.”

Snap!

This moment was captured on camera.
