Chapter 56
I went downstairs and just stepped out of the apartment building.
Yato saw Ame and Hikaru waiting for me by the roadside.
Like two door gods, they each stand on one side.
"So slow."
Tianyu coldly uttered a single word.
She wore a black dress today, standing tall and graceful like a black rose.
Hikari Narushima had bandages on his face, and because he was wearing casual clothes, he looked even more unruly than usual. If you told anyone, probably no one would think he was still a high school student.
"Good morning, President! When do we depart?"
"Look, our people are here."
Yato gestured with his chin towards the front.
Looking in that direction, I saw a Rolls-Royce slowly drive up and stop at the roadside.
Afterwards, a very pretty woman got out of the car and waved in their direction.
"Haven't been sleeping well lately? Your dark circles are so prominent that even foundation can't cover them."
"How could I possibly sleep well? To stall for time, the company kept nagging me, and even my mother asked about it. When you called me last night to tell me, I was already overwhelmed with worry about it."
Yang complained, then looked at Yato suspiciously.
"So, are you really healed? Don't lie to me."
"I have no intention of working for your Yukinoshita family. Don't forget to pay me a generous reward afterward, or next time it will be my turn to fight your company's fighters."
Yato teased.
The main reason he participated in this competition was because his opponent was Izumi Hatsumi, a strong fighter who had made it into the top eight of the Kengan Tournament. Fighting against someone of that caliber would yield more rewards.
Just now, he had already accepted a new task in the system taskbar.
"Mission: Demon of Kick Techniques, reporting for duty!"
"Mission Description: Although you have made great progress in strength in a short period of time, it is far from time to be complacent. This is your first Kengan match, and you need to announce your arrival to others with a resounding victory."
"Task Rewards: Crystal*1, Skill Level +1, Item Draw Attempt*1"
"Task penalty: Any attribute or skill level → halved."
……
Are these two your friends?
Originally intending to complain about Yato's cold attitude, Haruno noticed that there were two other people beside him, so she put on her usual smiling mask.
"They are my club members at school, Amayu Zanzan and Narushima Koga."
Yato gave a brief introduction.
"Hello, I'm Yukinoshita Haruno. I also studied at Shuchiin Academy. You can call me senior."
Yang said with a smile.
"Under the snow? That's not..."
Hikaru Narushima instinctively looked at Yato.
Tianyu also raised an eyebrow, reacting to the surname.
"They are sisters."
Yato seemed to know what they were thinking and offered an explanation.
"Oh my, are you also very familiar with Yukino?"
Yang Nai immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"She's in my club now too."
Yato explained.
"A club? That's strange, you do such troublesome things." Yang asked curiously, "By the way, what kind of club is it?"
"Fighting Club".
"..."
Seeing Haruno's smile freeze on her face, Yato felt extremely pleased.
That's what you used to do.
Now it's my turn to make fun of your sister.
……
A group of people got into the car.
Yang Nai was still somewhat disoriented by the fact that her younger sister had joined such a strange organization as the Fighting Club.
Almost instinctively, he picked up the folder on his seat and handed it to Yato.
"Although there are no video recordings, the techniques used have been recorded by specialists, along with some combat habits, personal data, and so on... I don't know if this will be helpful to you, but I've prepared a document for you. Would you like to take a look?"
"of course."
Yato took the folder, opened it, and read it carefully.
Strategically underestimate it, but tactically pay attention to it – this is a lesson learned from our ancestors.
The four core elements of combat sports are: skill, physique, tactics, and condition.
If skills and physique are meant to make the strong stronger and give the weak the means to defeat the strong, then tactics and physical condition are the secret weapons that can determine the outcome of a battle.
With the advancement of science, the development of modern martial arts is also progressing. Knowledge and theories from physics, mechanics, ergonomics, biochemistry, and other fields have been incorporated into it, making it more accessible to the general public. This also means that it no longer has any secrets.
Therefore, the importance of tactics becomes apparent.
Your status will tell you whether you can play or not.
Tactics, on the other hand, answer the question: how to fight to win.
However, formulating tactics requires sufficient prior intelligence to arrive at accurate conclusions.
Yato only knew that Izumi Hatsume was an Aikido master who even founded an Aikido school named after his own surname.
However, if you use the same methods you use against Aikido to deal with him, the outcome will undoubtedly be dire.
"Sure enough, this guy's first encounter style of Aikido completely deviates from the traditional Aikido path. It emphasizes offense while focusing on defense and counter-attack, and incorporates karate, jujitsu, and even kendo. Moreover, it is integrated very perfectly. It is not a half-baked, cobbled-together style, but a fighting technique that has been initially perfected."
As Yato looked at the various things mentioned in the documents, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this first encounter with the Akihachi technique really that powerful?"
"I asked Narushima Hikaru in a low voice."
"It's not a matter of whether he's powerful or not, he's the kind of... very special kind."
Yato deliberately made a joke, but unfortunately, no one in the world could understand it.
“I’ve heard of Chu Jianquan.” Tianyu stared out the window and suddenly said, “He is a very powerful martial artist who has traveled all over the country to practice. Later, he even went abroad. He is a restless wanderer who is like a drifting cloud.”
"Wouldn't the president be at a disadvantage fighting with someone like that?"
Narushima Koga looked worried.
Everyone could understand what he meant.
Even Yato had to admit that he was far inferior to Izumi in terms of experience, knowledge, and martial arts skills, since he was only eighteen years old while Izumi was already forty.
but--
"Fighting is not that simple."
Yato seemed to be answering the crowd, or perhaps expounding some kind of philosophy.
The sound was melodious and gentle, unconsciously soothing the oppressive atmosphere in the air.
"Because the ball is round, nothing is surprising. The same goes for fighting. How can you know who is stronger if you don't fight? The strong are proven through fighting, not through comparison."
His gaze, peering through the window, had already reached the competition venue.
That was Japan's first supertall hotel—
Tokyo Nogi Hotel!
"I don't know how strong he is, but I'm sure I'll win today."
Chapter 57
The Nogi Group was founded in 1943. It has made significant strides in more than a dozen different fields, including transportation and publishing, and is one of the oldest companies in the Kengan Association.
Its president is Hideki Nogi.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the president's office of his hotel.
This is a middle-aged man who looks serious and rigid.
From their demeanor to their clothing, they exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
If I had to describe it, it would be like a lion or a tiger!
The crowd beneath his feet, as tiny as ants, was not even worthy of being in his sight.
Hideki Nogi silently watched the Tokyo Tower, which had stood for over fifty years and reached into the clouds not far away.
Maybe this moment.
In his eyes, this was no longer the Tokyo Tower, but someone else entirely...
Good afternoon. I heard Xiaofeng said you were looking for me.
After an unknown amount of time, someone broke the atmosphere.
Without even knocking, they barged in as if nothing was wrong.
His long hair was tied in a ponytail. Although he was no longer young, his charm remained undiminished. His sparse beard, deep eyes with a hint of melancholy, and weathered face made him the epitome of a free-spirited old man.
But these are just superficial appearances.
A truly perceptive person will notice his movements and physique immediately.
He wasn't very tall.
He's not even 1.8 meters tall.
It's clear that the person is standing right here, but it doesn't feel real.
It's as if all you have to do is close your eyes and then open them again.
This person will then disappear from sight.
Without leaving a trace.
It's as if it never existed in the first place.
He is the strongest fighter in the Nogi Group.
The first encounter with the master of Aikido, Izumi.
"Izumi, your opponent has been decided."
Nogi Hideki said without turning his head.
No nonsense, straight to the point.
