Title: Sorry, Shinnosuke, I Can’t Satisfy You

“Nohara-kun! Here are the shinai and bokken prepared for you!”

Seeing Shinnosuke come to the kendo club, Kojima immediately ran up to him.

The shinai (bamboo sword) and bokken (wooden sword) were taken from the Musashi dojo and were also specially ordered by Musashi Geiken according to Shinnosuke’s height and arm length.

Kojima’s gaze was very excited. With Shinnosuke joining, the future of the kendo club was very bright!

It wasn’t just Kojima; the other kendo club members also looked at Shinnosuke with excitement.

The overall strength of Shuchi’in Academy’s kendo club wasn’t very strong. The tournament was approaching soon. If they could win an award in the team tournament, that would be great.

In addition, the summer competition wasn’t just one, but also the National High School Sports Championships for high school student selection, also known as the interhigh.

The interhigh for baseball games was Koshien.

The national tournament in Slam Dunk was also the interhigh.

There would be an overall national competition selected from each prefecture.

As for the tournament, hundreds of teams competed in a mixed battle. As long as your strength was sufficient, you could completely carry your teammates alone in a 1 vs 5 fight.

They couldn’t even fight Saeko, whereas Shinnosuke could easily suppress Saeko. With such strength, carrying them to victory was only natural, wasn’t it?

Picking up the bokken and shinai to feel their weight, Shinnosuke chose the heavier bokken. Although it was still inferior to his Holy Sword Fubuki, it was at least better than the shinai.

Due to the emphasis on kendo in this world, most people aiming to become professional kendo masters would quickly switch to bokken.

Shinai were safer and more comfortable to hold, but this world didn’t require high school matches to use shinai. So, for sufficient destructive power, everyone used bokken.

And in matches, except for the initial qualifying rounds, all matches didn’t wear protective gear.

Swinging the bokken a few times, it felt a bit light, but it was enough.

Saeko arrived quickly. As soon as she arrived at the kendo club, she went straight to Shinnosuke.

She couldn’t wait to duel with Shinnosuke.

“Come on, Nohara-kun!”

Although this was just kendo practice, Shinnosuke always felt strange. Saeko seemed to regard him as a very useful tool.

This wasn’t Saeko’s fault either. The desires suppressed for many years had finally found a way to be released. The expression on her face when looking at Shinnosuke was bound to be a little strange.

“Yeah.”

Shinnosuke was also very straightforward. He went to the practice area and took his stance.

Under the intense gaze of the kendo club members, Saeko launched a fierce attack.

Her attack was still so rough, there was no sense of technique at all. She completely relied on her talent and the brutal desire in her heart when swinging her sword.

It had to be admitted that Saeko’s kendo talent was very high. If she didn’t have enough talent, the brutal and murderous desire in her heart wouldn’t be so suppressed.

However, Saeko’s talent in front of Shinnosuke was still lacking. Just like before, Shinnosuke easily received all her attacks.

“Nohara-kun, be serious, let me feel your strength!”

The desire in her heart was unleashed, and Saeko also began to get excited and wanted to see Shinnosuke’s true strength.

Hearing her request, Shinnosuke became slightly more serious, and the bokken in Saeko’s hand almost flew out.

The pressure was too great, completely not on the same level. But Saeko didn’t feel frustrated; instead, she became even more excited.

This feeling! From strength to heart being completely conquered, it made her addicted.

After a simple duel for a few minutes, Saeko was panting and couldn’t hold on anymore.

“Sorry, Nohara-kun, I can’t satisfy you.”

The girl’s words were a bit dangerous and easily misinterpreted.

However, what she said was indeed true. Saeko’s strength indeed couldn’t satisfy him.

“It’s alright, this is enough.”

After stretching his arms, Shinnosuke looked towards Kojima.

“Senpai want to try?”

“Me?”

Kojima pointed at himself, a little disbelieving.

Really? He was going to fight Shinnosuke?

Seeing Saeko looking so satisfied, Kojima also wanted to try a little. Maybe if he practiced more with Shinnosuke, he would also gain a lot of benefits?

“Come on!”

However, Kojima quickly remembered how the newly healed wound on his face had appeared.

Kojima wasn’t a beautiful girl. Although Shinnosuke had held back a lot, he didn’t deliberately give any openings and put great pressure on Kojima.

The feeling of being completely defeated in all aspects and having absolutely no idea how to fight back was rather bad. Kojima only lasted for two minutes before completely losing.

“Nohara-kun...”

Kojima, lying on the ground, looked despondent. Just now when Shinnosuke and Saeko were dueling, it wasn’t like this. The pressure from Shinnosuke was too great.

This kind of pressure, Kojima had never felt from Geiken.

Geiken’s strength wasn’t actually that strong. The style Kojima learned was the Kyoshin Meichi style, which wasn’t very proficient in actual combat.

The flamboyant Kyoshin Meichi style in the eyes of many was just decoration. Only a few people could achieve a balance between actual combat and artistic value.

Clearly, Kojima was still far from this step.

“Senpai needs to be more serious when practicing in the future. Your basics are a bit lacking.”

“I understand, I will definitely practice seriously in the future.”

Kojima, who was a little discouraged, made a decision. He had to practice well; he couldn’t fall too far behind Shinnosuke.

But what he didn’t know was that the distance between him and Shinnosuke was much greater than he imagined.

On the other hand, Saeko had also rested enough. Last time she only dueled with Shinnosuke for ten minutes. Today she wanted more!

“Continue, Nohara-kun!”

In less than ten minutes, Saeko was lying down again with a slightly flushed face.

She was still completely not a match. She tried her best but couldn’t satisfy Shinnosuke. Even from beginning to end, Shinnosuke’s breathing remained calm.

Although she was completely not a match, Saeko was very happy.

Until the time for club activities ended, Saeko felt that she was already completely inseparable from Shinnosuke.

Practicing kendo with Shinnosuke made her a little dazed. Not only did the brutal desire in her heart completely disappear, but her understanding of kendo also improved rapidly.

As long as her strength continued to improve, could she become the first female professional kendo master?
