The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 230: One Hit Man



Chapter 230: One Hit Man

From Kimura Kazuki’s perspective, all the contestants in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition were kids. And so, during the individual competition, the audience was shocked as he took down all his opponents within the blink of an eye.

Although other contestants also quickly ended their matches, under the best-of-three points rule, the duration of each match would usually be within one or two minutes. Basically, every match was the same for Kimura Kazuki. First, Kimura Kazuki and his opponent enters the field, they then bow to each other, and finally Kimura Kazuki would score two points in a row and win. This was how Kimura Kazuki competed in every round of the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition.

In the sixth round during the second day of the individual competition, Kimura Kazuki entered the field again. This time, his opponent was Katsuki Sugawara. Kimura Kazuki was slightly shocked as he did not expect to be matched against Katsuki Sugawara. But when he remembered that it was the sixth round, he assumed that most of the contestants had been eliminated, so the remaining ones were Kendo elites. So, matching up against Katsuki Sugawara made sense to him.

Before Kimura Kazuki entered the stage, three people at the side, including Ikioi Ito were betting on how long could Katsuki Sugawara last.

“I understand my sister’s strength. Although she isn’t as strong as I am, she’s still considered quite strong. Anyway, I would easily take her down within seconds.” Mizuki Sugawara muttered for a moment. “According to Kimura-kun’s performance in the last few matches, Kimura-kun would show no mercy to her too. Subtracting the time needed for bowing... I bet she should be able to withstand 10... ahem, 15... 12 seconds?”

“How about you?” Without a word or movement, Ikioi Ito looked at Tomoya Saito. He assumed that this boy in love would bet on Katusuki Sugawara to win this match. He would never let go of such a good opportunity to earn money.

“I bet 500... 1,000 yen on Sugawara’s victory,” Tomoya Saito said without blinking his eyes. “Then, I bet 100,000 yen on Kimura-kun to defeat Sugawara.”

Damn! That’s too honest!

Both Ikioi Ito and Mizuki Sugawara were distressed, especially Mizuki Sugawara as he just got to know that his sister was only worth 1,000 yen in the eyes of Tomoya Saito.

Tomoya Saito saw the dangerous glance from Mizuki Sugawara, and he suddenly responded to it by promptly saying, “Obviously, Kimura Kazuki will win. How could I blindly bet that Katsuki will win? Wouldn’t that be too stupid? A good man is a man who knows how to enjoy life.”

There was no expression on Mizuki Sugawara’s face. He looked at Ikioi Ito and asked, “How much would you bet?”

Recently, Ikioi Ito kept showing a smug smile, as if he was way smarter than them. Then he said satisfyingly, “Needless to say, Kimura Kazuki definitely will win the match. Therefore, I bet 100,000 yen that the game would be above 30 seconds but within one minute.”

Huh? Both Tomoya Saito and Mizuki Sugawara were puzzled.

The time they bet on was the total battle time, excluding the time for bowing and other procedures.

Thirty seconds? Was he looking down upon Kimura Kazuki?

“Not enough money?”

Tomoya Saito and Mizuki Sugawara doubtedly looked at Ikioi Ito, there was no host in this gamble. The two losers must pay the winner. Of course, if no one guessed it correctly, then the gamble would be voided.

Ikioi Ito smiled quietly, enjoying his trampling on the two.

At the Sakura Kyu High School resting area, Kimura Kazuki sat beside Harunaka. He smiled faintly, “You will definitely meet Katsuki Sugawara in the team competition. I will drag this match slightly, so you have to watch closely.”

“Alright!” Harunaka nodded seriously. She had been disqualified from the individual tournament and the person who eliminated her was Tomoya Saito.

However, Harunaka did not care too much about it. It would have been better if she could advance in the individual competition, but it was no big deal even if she failed. Her target was the champion in the women’s competition! As for individual competition, because Kimura was there, even if she were to advance, she would still be unable to snatch the victory from his hands.

When Kimura Kazuki went on the stage and arrived in front of Katsuki Sugawara, he heard her say in a cold tone, “Kimura-kun, kindly advise me!”

Katsuki Sugawara was a sophomore, but she was about as tall as Yagyu Shizuka. And Yagyu Shizuka was considered short among high school students. That was how petite Katsuki Sugawara was.

Even though many people knew that Katsuki Sugawara was really strong, during the competition, most would underestimate Katsuki Sugawara and end up being defeated in shame.

Kimura Kazuki’s stood at 1.83 meters tall. While being the same age as Katsuki, the difference between their height was obvious when they stood opposing one another. When the audience saw this, they could not help but show a weird glance. It was just like an adult bullying a child.

Kimura Kazuki hummed lightly without talking much. His opponent had a strong and imposing manner, arrogant and overbearing, a petite and unfriendly girl. It was no wonder she was known as the Midget Queen.

Obviously he did not know that due to Katsuki Sugawara’s height, many delinquents wanted to bully her, although they were beaten up by her instead before they could hit her. As time passed, her indifferent character was formed.

In fact, Katsuki Sugawara and Kimura Kazuki were quite similar when they were at school. Both of them were rulers of their respective schools. The difference between them was that Katsuki Sugawara did not reorganize Akijou High School. But of course, Akijou High School was different from Sakura Kyu High School in that it was known as a camp of delinquents.

Katsuki Sugawara used her strength to dominate Akijou High School, so nobody dared to stir things up. Moreover, she had a bad temper. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would beat up the delinquents to vent her anger. She was the absolute queen in Akijou High School.

After that, when the referee announced the start of the competition, both of them bowed to each other.

After bowing, Katsuki Sugawara yelled and rushed forward, her expression under the mask was full of fighting spirit.

Katsuki Sugawara watched all of Kimura Kazuki’s competition clips. The Tokyo District Qualifier clips were of no value as reference as after she had watched all the video clips, she realized that he did not take it seriously at all.

However, in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition held in Fukuoka, Kimura Kazuki apparently took it seriously. She had watched all his clips in the team and individual competitions. She knew that if she were to compete with Kimura, she had to grasp the initiative and deny Kimura the first strike.

As Kimura Kazuki was too fast, all the participants who met Kimura Kazuki were defeated because they could not see his hands clearly. So, they were instantly taken out in one hit. Kimura Kazuki’s performance in this national competition was so marvellous that it overshadowed the performance of the other participants.

Her foolish brother, who was still snickering in the past two days, said that when he faces Kimura Kazuki, he will defeat him and grab all the glory. Katsuki Sugawara only chided her brother for his foolishness in her heart and she did not even bother to remind him. She felt that Kimura Kazuki’s strength was way beyond those of the younger generation.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

As Kimura Kazuki defeated all his opponents in just a few seconds and with a single hit, the netizens came up with a new nickname for him, the One Hit Man. Obviously, it was a reference to One Punch Man, but this nickname was accepted by the public, and it outshone his more ordinary nickname, Club President.

Yet, all the old fans still liked to address him as Club President, as it was more endearing.
