Chapter 110: Haruno's horizontal attack with a cleave? [Alliance Leader's additional update]
Once attention was focused, other sounds in the venue seemed to become much quieter.
Not only did the sound become smaller, but even the field of vision seemed to begin to shrink.
It's a wonderful experience.
Although I knew that the things next to me were still there, it was as if I had lost the ability to see outside my eyes. It was a strange feeling that all my attention was focused on Suguha Ezaki.
So that’s what it feels like to be highly concentrated?
Sawayama Haruno thought that this seemed a little different from his concentration when he was typing.
When I'm typing, I concentrate so hard that it's hard for me to notice changes in the outside world. I don't even care how much time has passed, including what Salmon Ball did in the bedroom.
But the feeling now is different. He can clearly grasp everything around him. Even the invisible places can be perceived by vague intuition.
To be honest, this feeling is quite fresh.
In that case, let’s try out what this state feels like.
With this thought in mind, Sawayama Haruno struck a familiar posture, and Ezaki Suguha, who was standing in front of him, was stunned for a moment.
——That was the posture she had been using for the entire afternoon, the upper part.
The great upper stance is actually just tilting the sword slightly backwards and holding it horizontally above the head.
That being said, the standard of the action can still affect the subsequent attack, not to mention the following steps.
But Sawayama Haruno seems to really understand how to use the upper tier correctly.
Was this guy lying when he said he had no experience with kendo?
No, I didn't realize he was lying.
That is
Ezaki Suguha's heart trembled. Could the other party perform such smooth movements right from the start?
Or can I learn something just by watching myself posing like a top player in the afternoon?
There were many thoughts in her mind, but Suguha Ezaki's body moved involuntarily.
The reason was very simple. Zeshan Haruno suddenly stepped forward, and the bamboo sword in his hand swung towards his forehead with a sound of breaking through the air.
Snapped--
The bamboo sword was blocked and swung towards the ground. Sawayama Haruno remained calm and quickly retreated two steps.
“It’s hard to imagine that this is a new person that I haven’t met before.”
Jiang Qizhiye did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but continued to stand where he was, holding the sword in the middle and said: "The sword just now was also very fast."
It’s more than just fast.
She felt her wrist was a little numb.
This is based on the fact that she successfully defended herself. If she hadn't, this tremendous force alone would have probably made her hands go limp, right?
Are they stronger than the adult athletes?
"Suguha's move just now was pretty cool too." Sawayama Haruno said slowly, "I remember there are professional terms to explain these moves, so please explain them to me when we go back to eat."
Before he could finish his words, he stepped forward again.
boom--
It was successfully blocked by Suguha Ezaki again.
But this time, the opponent no longer stood in the original position, but began to move slightly.
Sawayama Haruno seized the opportunity, strode forward and swung another sword towards the head area.
When the two bamboo swords collided again, making a continuous "bang" sound, Sawayama Haruno no longer distanced himself, but relied on his extraordinary physical fitness and kept repeating the action of sheathing and swinging the sword.
There is only one goal.
The head on Suguha Ezaki's neck.
Such amazing momentum made Mine Shiori's face turn red on the lounge chair nearby. From her position, she could perfectly see Sawayama Haruno's quick, accurate and ruthless movements every time he put away and drew his sword.
Of course, it wasn't just Mine Shiori who was attracted. Other contestants who were practicing in the venue also turned their eyes over at the same time.
Although fighting like this has nothing to do with kendo, it seems to be more entertaining. Moreover, such a high-intensity fight consumes a lot of physical strength, which makes people unable to help but smack their lips when watching it.
Suguha Ezaki, who was at the center of the storm, quickly realized that something was wrong. Haruno Sawayama always attacked with a great upper-level stance, and always aimed at the head area, and almost every attack was a powerful and heavy slash.
If she continued like this, she would be crushed to death by Sawayama Haruno's brute force.
When her wrist becomes numb, she will definitely not be able to withstand Sawayama Haruno's attack.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Ezaki Suguha's mind - "Is this guy's slashing a two-hit combo with a straight cleave?"
The status quo must be changed.
boom--
The two bamboo swords collided again, but this time, Ezaki Suguha pulled them apart enough.
Not giving Sawayama Haruno a chance to close in, she immediately broke with what she had said earlier, assumed a left upper section stance, and then slashed down from the side at the speed of light.
The bamboo sword broke through the air with a whistling sound, but collided with Zeshan Haruno who arrived earlier.
Through the mask, Ezaki Suguha couldn't see the expression on the other person's face. He only knew that the other person's speed and strength were simply terrifying. He was the one who struck out with the sword first, but he was not as fast as the other person.
We must get serious again.
Snapped--
The two swords collided again.
Immersed in the chopping and chopping, Zeshan Haruno subconsciously wanted to put away his sword and then strike again.
But it was here that he became aware of the smell of something not right.
It takes time to bring back a sword that has been swung out.
But Ezaki Suguha's sword was different. After receiving the blow from her own sword, her sword immediately returned to its original position.
Neither of them collapsed in their posture.
But in terms of time, there is now a slight gap.
"Is it the difference in the basics of kendo?"
Sawayama Haruno understood instantly.
But it was too late, the opponent's sword was already slashing at him at a speed far greater than his own.
All he could do was to increase his strength as much as possible to make up for the lack of speed.
As long as you successfully parry it, there is still a possibility of counterattack.
boom--
The bamboo sword broke with a sound.
But the other sword continued to move forward with unabated momentum, slashing viciously towards the head area.
Mine Shiori, who was watching from the side, instantly got goose bumps all over her body. Looking at the half-broken bamboo sword flying in the air, she subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to shout something.
She knew very well that even if she didn't shout, Ezaki Suguha would not be able to hurt Sawayama Haruno who was wearing protective gear.
But as long as you have witnessed the entire fight just now, you will have a feeling of "nervousness".
There was a feeling of extreme worry for Haruno, which drove her to say something.
However, before the words could be uttered, the voice that rang out again the next moment interrupted them abruptly.
In the middle of the venue, the sound of bamboo swords breaking under the heavy weight could be heard again.
Along with it, there was also the crackling sound of the leather being torn apart.
Sawayama Haruno crushed the bamboo sword that was swung in front of him.
