The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 125: The National High School Kendo Competition

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Kimura Kazuki came to the classroom allocated to the Student Council after classes ended in the afternoon.

Everyone greeted Kimura Kazuki cautiously upon seeing his arrival. Kimura Kazuki did not stick around for long, either. He picked up the [Short-term Life Goals Questionnaire] lying on the table and planned to leave right then.

Suddenly, Yanagawa Izumi called out with a strange expression, “Head of Department... One moment.”

Kimura Kazuki was confused, “Yes?”

Yanagawa Izumi coughed lightly and picked up a stack of banknotes from the table. He split off a little more than half of the deck and counted the cash for a bit, it was worth almost 200,000 yen. He then handed them over to Kimura Kazuki. Realizing that Kimura Kazuki was staring at him, he said in a low voice, “Head of Department, this money is given to me by freshman Furuhashi Harunaka. She asked me to hand the money to you as a token of appreciation for helping out with the Kendo Association’s club funds... This money is to be returned to the Sword Believers’ Club.”

Furuhashi Sakurakyu, who was listening to them, displayed an unnatural expression when she heard those words.

Kimura Kazuki frowned. What is Harunaka-san thinking? Also, 200,000 is too much... Before he could say anything else, Yanagawa Izumi handed him the other stack of cash with a mildly suggestive expression, “This 100,000 yen is from Furuhashi Natsui. She said that since she started the Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club without your permission, this is the royalty fee for using your name.”

Furuhashi Sakurakyu nearly squealed out in surprise. What happened? Natsui actually formed a Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club within the student body? Isn’t this a blatant declaration of her affections?

Kimura Kazuki stared coldly at Yanagigawa Izumi, who got scared and promptly changed his suggestive expression into a neutral expression.

“Understood.” Without any further questions, he took the money. He planned to return the money to Harunaka and Natsui the next day. He would also question them about what the hell they were thinking of doing this.

He picked up a stack of [Short-term Life Goals Questionnaire] and walked out of the door, continuing in the direction of his classroom. When he slid the door open, he noticed that aside from a few students revising in the classroom, the rest had either left or went for club activities. He picked out four forms, those that belonged to Harunaka and others. As for the other forms, he simply dumped them into a desk to be handed to the freshman teacher so that they could understand their students better.

He held up Harunaka’s questionnaire first.

After a quick glance, he let out a breath of relief. Her response was not too far from his expectations. Harunaka-san’s short term life goal was to lead Sakura Kyu’s Kendo Association to win the National Kendo Championship.

Seeing her daughter’s life goal, Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt a surge of joy. It seemed that Harukana did not give up on Kendo after she left.

Kimura Kazuki then glanced through Natsui’s, Akino’s, and Fuyuno’s goals.

Natsui was aiming to be the President of the Student Council of Sakura Kyu High School, and Fuyuno planned to do some voice acting for an animation feature in the near future.

As for Akino, Kimura Kazuki’s mouth twitched upon what he read.

Name: Furuhashi Akino

Short Term Life Goal: Destroy/Save the Earth

Reason: Man’s desires in this world is insatiable. Disappointed in humanity, God will send His messenger angels to unleash Armageddon, bringing Judgement Day upon the world.

As the end of the world approaches, humanity will split into two parties, The Rebellion, and The Alliance. The world will burn down in the flames of war.

...

Kimura Kazuki read through her plans, they were little more than excuses. The more he read, the more the words felt off. What is this about a Rebellion and Alliance team ... She couldn’t possibly be plotting out a backstory for a video game, could she?

Even if Akino did not state it clearly in her questionnaire, but he had an inkling that Akino’s short term goal should have something to do with game development.

Usually, after a game is developed, the game developer would naturally be concerned about its sales as sales equate to the game’s popularity. The higher the sales, the wider the audience. This meant that the amount of recognition and good reviews would also increase.

If that was the case, it would not be hard to guess Furuhashi Akino’s short term goal.

This made him breathe another sigh of relief. As long as it was not an unsolvable problem, he could find a solution for it.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu went speechless after reading the questionnaire. It seemed that Akino was still the same, as she had been acting strange since she was young. However, she found out that Akino had become even more obsessed with games that afternoon. It seemed that aside from Harunaka, Natsui, and Fuyuno, only Akino had changed her hobby. On the other hand, she was relieved about Natsui’s change. If she still wanted to be the boss of some gang, Sakurakyu would have a major headache.

“How do you plan to fulfill my daughters’ goals?”

Kimura Kazuki remained silent as there was still company in the classroom. He only pointed at Harunaka-san’s questionnaire, indicating that he would start with her goal.

He remembered that the National High School Kendo Competition area preliminaries were about to start soon. Picking up his phone, he texted Yanagawa Izumi. If a club or society were to enter any major high school competitions, they would need to seek permission from the school and student council. If approval is granted, a teacher would then be assigned as an advisor for the competition. So, high school students should be aware of the many different major competitions.

Soon, Yanagawa Izumi replied to his text.

Yanagawa: Head of Department, the National High School Kendo Competition’s county eliminaries will start in half a month. I have just checked online, there is already 76 schools registered for the competition. There will be more registrations coming in after this, but there shouldn’t be a lot

Kimura Kazuki went silent. Half a month’s time.

Again, he looked through Harunaka-san’s goals, which was to lead the Kendo Association to nab the throne of champion in the National Kendo Championship. Under usual circumstances, what she meant should be the champion of the group competition. But just in case, it was about time for him to enter the individual competition.

Right. Kimura Kazuki made his decision to join this Kendo competition. Of course, he would also join the Kendo Association. But the girls’ team... Kimura Kazuki frowned as he thought about it. Even if he did not understand the rules of competitive Kendo, but at the end of the day all Kendo competitions focused on strength. Having mastered the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, he would have absolutely no problem in taking down the men’s championship and the individual championship.

He was not being conceited, he was just being confident.

Every person had to know their own limitations, like Yuriko’s obsessiveness in writing novels. Since he did not know anything about novels, of course, he would not comment much on it. Regarding Kendo, if he lost to a bunch of high school students, all that training would have been for naught.

So, the priority would be at Harunaka’s side... If the girls’ team loses, she will not attain her goals.

He had to find a way to hone Furuhashi Harunaka’s Kendo skills.

While thinking about it, he stood up and started off toward the Kendo Association.

Right at that moment, he received a text message. He opened it and was bewildered by what he saw.

The message was from Akino.

Akino: Hola, it’s me, wassup senpai. First things first. Save it if it’s about borrowing money.

???

Kimura Kazuki was perplexed at this ... He then found the messages that ‘he’ had sent the day before and the messages that he sent to the other three as well.

Instantly, he glared at Furuhashi Sakurakyu, rage burning in his eyes.
