But after glancing at the folding fan that Ikeba Shizuka was about to take out, she finally obediently put on the full set of protective gear.
Conan sat on the left side of the training room.
Ran, Sonoko, Ikenami Shizuka, and Momiji sat on the right side of the training room.
Kazuha and Heiji walked to the middle of the training field, maintaining a distance of three meters between them.
The referee was Izuki Karuta, who had the highest fighting ability among those present, and no one objected.
"This competition will continue until someone admits defeat or is clearly no match for the other."
"how?"
Before the competition began, Itake Karuta agreed on the conditions for the winner and loser with the two of them.
“I agree.” Kazuha nodded quickly.
Heiji Hattori had no objections.
"Alright, let the competition begin!"
At Izuki Karita's command.
Kazuha took the initiative, quickly closing in and delivering a powerful flying kick.
Before Hattori Heiji could react, he was kicked and lost his balance, falling to the ground.
Kazuha pressed her advantage, continuing to kick Hattori Heiji's protective gear.
Hattori Heiji was kicked so hard he tumbled several times before crashing into the wall, looking quite disheveled.
"Miss Kazuha is amazing!"
Hongye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "He defeated the kendo champion in just one move!"
These words spurred Hattori Heiji to his feet, and he quickly got up from the ground, quite indignant: "I wasn't prepared just now, Kazuha's attack was too sudden."
"Now I'm going to get serious!"
He Ye gave a light snort, too lazy to say anything more.
The two walked back to the middle of the training room, spaced themselves out, and assumed their stances.
The second round begins.
Kazuha took the initiative again, using Wakido techniques to launch continuous attacks.
This time, Hattori Heiji was prepared and used his wooden sword to block or stop the attack.
Having a weapon unilaterally has a significant advantage; simply placing the weapon in the enemy's path of attack will naturally neutralize their attack.
But Kazuha wasn't stupid; instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, she chose to flank from behind.
Kazuha is not as tall as Ran, but she is more agile than Ran.
Having undergone a cleansing and marrow-refining process, he was now as light as a swallow, easily circling behind Hattori Heiji and kicking him again.
"!!!"
When Hattori Heiji realized that Kazuha had disappeared from his sight, alarm bells went off in his mind. He quickly ran forward a few steps and barely dodged Kazuha's kick.
He immediately turned around, preparing to launch an attack.
As a result, Kazuha's figure disappeared again, circling around to the back...
After several such exchanges, Hattori Heiji was caught off guard and his back armor was kicked, causing him to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, he was protected by armor and was not injured.
Kazuha said smugly, "Heiji, I don't need to explain what it means to fall on the field, do I?"
Heiji Hattori stood up and removed his protective gear: "Kazuha, you have indeed improved a bit; you've gotten faster."
"If it weren't for these protective gear restricting your movement, you really wouldn't be able to hit me."
The implication is that Hattori Heiji believes the protective gear prevented him from unleashing his true potential.
Kazuha raised an eyebrow: "Alright, then let's have a serious competition!"
The two walked to the middle of the training room.
He was kicked down twice in a row.
Now, Heiji Hattori's face no longer showed the initial disdain.
Holding a wooden sword, his aura began to rise.
The third round begins.
Kazuha continued to launch a fierce attack first.
They attacked while constantly moving.
Without the restraint of protective gear, Hattori Heiji was relatively more agile, able to block and parry from the left and right, leaving him only with a passive defense and no opportunity to attack.
Not to mention that Kazuha likes to flank from behind, so Hattori Heiji needs to be highly focused to avoid being ambushed from behind.
"Kazuha, you can't keep up this attack for long!"
Hattori Heiji suddenly laughed and said, "Your stamina is not as good as mine to begin with."
"As long as I stick to defense, you're destined to lose!"
Heiji Hattori is very familiar with this script.
Because during the kendo competition a few days ago, he himself was the one who launched a fierce attack.
"It's a shame you even watched that match, Ye. It seems you didn't absorb any experience at all."
These words made He Ye frown slightly.
Then they launched an even more ferocious attack...
One side of the training room,
Hongye was puzzled: "This is clearly a provocation, why did Miss Heye fall for it so easily?"
"If you run out of energy first and can't keep up later, then you've already lost."
Sonoko shared the same view.
Shizuka Ikenami shook her head: "The one who will lose is not Kazuha, but Heiji."
Hongye and Yuanzi looked puzzled.
In their view, as long as Hattori Heiji continues to defend, he can exhaust Kazuha's stamina and achieve victory.
Why did Shizuka Ikenami reach the opposite conclusion?
Ran then explained, "I trained with Kazuha before, and we're about the same in terms of physical fitness."
"According to estimates, Kazuha has only used less than 20% of her strength."
"They could unleash an even stronger and more ferocious attack!"
While talking,
As Ran had said, Kazuha's attack speed and power had indeed increased by a level.
He even stopped dodging the wooden sword in Hattori Heiji's hand, and instead, whenever he had the chance, he would pat the side of the wooden sword.
The heavy force transmitted from the sword almost made Hattori Heiji lose his grip on the wooden sword.
The fierce attack overwhelmed Hattori Heiji, who had to defend himself while retreating and was hit by several punches and kicks.
This fierce, storm-like offensive had already made Hattori Heiji feel uneasy, but he firmly believed that this was Kazuha's last attack before she ran out of energy.
As long as he holds on, he can win!
Then, a little over a minute later, Hattori Heiji's wooden sword was knocked away, and he was kicked to the ground again.
Hattori Heiji collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat, panting heavily, his heart pounding, his face filled with disbelief.
I intended to provoke Kazuha with words, hoping to make her reveal a weakness.
Unexpectedly, Kazuha had a trick up her sleeve. Her offensive was so fierce that he couldn't fight back and was now directly defeated.
Shizuka Ikenami snorted coldly: "Heiji, you are the one who has not learned any experience from the last competition."
"Instead, we learned from our opponents' bad habit of underestimating us!"
Hattori Heiji was so embarrassed by what he was being said that he felt ashamed.
I have to admit that I underestimated Kazuha's strength before the competition started.
But who could have imagined that Kazuha's strength would improve so quickly?
Now that Kazuha has defeated him, she'll definitely laugh at him mercilessly...
After waiting for a while, Hattori Heiji still didn't hear Kazuha's mocking laughter.
Looking up slightly, I saw Kazuha happily run up to Itake Karuta:
"Master, how did I do?"
He had an adorable look on his face, as if he wanted to be praised.
Hattori Heiji felt incredibly upset...
