Western Tokyo Kendo Tournament 2

Western Tokyo.

Central Kendo Stadium.

Although Kendo and Batojutsu's concepts are not the same however the concept came from the same branch of Swordsmanship.

The very old age sword style which is focused on sword drawing is often called Battojutsu which Takashi used in the time when he was a Captain of Gotei 10.

However, if you think just because he used Battojutsu which is more focused on drawing swords which is why he doesn't know how to use swords after drawing it then you are very much mistaken.

Because after drawing the sword he needed to use it in the fight without putting it back on its cover and using the sword continually is the modern sword's style or some might like to call it Kendo.

So it should be clear to everyone why he suddenly became so good.

Now back to the present.

The moment the Referee signals to start the match Tsubaki and Takashi moved towards one another at their maximum human speed.

When they came into the attack range of one another Takashi gave Tsubaki many fake openings while pretending to be a fool and when Tsubaki found the shameless pervert to be a waste of her time she decided to take the easiest approach and end the match at the first chance.

So with a cold face, she strikes him in the belly just for him to dodge her with a simple jump before slamming his bamboo sword on her head mercilessly as the referee signals the end of the match and calls out "Hit~

The winner of the match is Takashi Yamamoto from Karakura High. "

"How can this be? " Tsubaki asks absentmindedly while looking at Takashi's face who is smiling like a fool as she regains her bearings after the announcement of the referee and looks at him in disbelief.

"You have been defeated, my dear? " says Takashi with a smile while looking at Tsubaki's surprised face.

"No, it was not like that. " says Tsubaki in frustration, understanding that Takashi has defeated her as he had reminded her but she doesn't accept her defeat cause he was pretending to be weak, which means he tricked her to defeat her, didn't he.

"Say what you must, but you have been defeated and if you want to say otherwise why don't you come and face me in the finals. " says Takashi with a smile before walking out of the stage without care from her protest.

"Just you wait, this isn't the end. " says Tsubaki with determination looking at his back.

After Takeshi's match, it only took a few matches before Tatsuki's turn "Tatsuki Arisawa of Karakura High vs Kazuma Kuwabara of Sarayashiki Junior High.

Contests please take your Place. "

Looking in the direction of the students of Sarayashiki Junior High Takashi spotted a thick reddish-orange hair guy with the 1950s hairstyle getting out from his group and he is relatively tall but the thing that separated him is the fact that guy has some Spiritual energy in him which surprised Takashi a little because he didn't notice him previously 'Maybe it's because of Tsubaki, who has a stronger presence which stole my attention from someone with so small presence as him.

Then again he should be stronger than Tatsuki. ' as he has already made a proper conclusion he decided to warn Tatsuki by putting a hand on her shoulder to give a warning  "Be careful of that light pol, I think he is dangerous. "

"Come on he is just tall don't forget we have defeated even taller guys than him,  in the past." says Tatsuki with a smile as she continued to the top of the stage discharging Takashi's warning.

"Take your position to begin. " says the referee with a shout as Tatsuki strikes Kazuma Kuwabara in the next moment while Kuwabara stood on the spot like a stupid without moving.

After Tatsuki was declared a winner she asks him why he didn't make a move to which he said he will not strike a girl and rather lose as a man just to make Tatsuki angry at him before saying he should try to will the next match and fight against Takashi just to know how a man should never do discrimination between man and woman.

She also felt proud to be Takashi's friend because he doesn't discriminate between man and woman which a worrier should do when in a battle.

"You are quite lucky that guy gave up without a fight. " says Takashi with a smile as Tatsuki returned to his side.

"He is just stupid and if by any chance he gets to the semifinals and becomes your opponent give him a good punishment for understanding me.

Do you understand. " says Tatsuki in anger.

"Yes, mam you are the boss. " says Takashi with a smile when he felt a sharp gaze pointed at him just to find it to be Tsubaki who is keeping an eye on him and shook his hand toward her just to make her blush and look on the other way after getting found out when Misato comes to their side to say with a smile "Congratulation for reaching the semifinals and getting a place on the Tokyo area matches. "

After a while, the 5 round also finalized Takashi and Tatsuki were asked to rest as the 6th round will take a while to be concluded.

After half an hour the 6th round also came to a conclusion and the winner of the 6th round was Tsubaki Shinra of Kuoh Academy and Kazuma Kuwabara of Sarayashiki Junior High.

This result had made everyone surprised because these 4 had also faced one another in the 4th round so the authority decided to not make the same opponent face one another again instead swipe the opponents.

After 15 minutes of break, the announcer finally started her explanation "Now that we have arrived at the Semifinals the rules of the match will be changed and instead of one round now there will be 3 rounds in every match and the consistent who wins 2 out of 3 will be declared victorious.

Now it is time we announce the char for the Semifinals.

The first battle will be against Takashi Yamamoto of Karakura Town Vs Kazuma Kuwabara of Sarayashiki Junior High.

Both contestants please take your position at the arena. "

"Dont hold back do you hear me. " as Takashi stood up from his seat Tatsuki says with a serious face.

"You don't need to remind me twice. " says Takashi with a smile as he walks to the arena with an indifferent face however if Aizen was here then you would hear him saying, The kid is in danger as his captain hates to fight a man and never holds back.

"You are the guy whom Tatsuki-san has told me about. " asks Kazuma Kuwabara with a raised brow while looking at Takashi who has an indifferent face.

"Dude you shouldn't have let her win like that. " says Takashi with a smile.

"I don't fight girls. " says Kazuma Kuwabara shaking his head.

"Now that's just stupid because when death doesn't discriminate who are you. " says Takashi with a serious face.

"You won't understand. " says Kazuma Kuwabara with a serious face.

"Whatever let's just be done with our match and talk with our sword to prove who is right. " says Takashi pointing his bamboo sword at Kazuma Kuwabara.

"Fine by me. " says Kazuma Kuwabara as the referee gives the signal to start the match.

The next instant Takashi vanished from his spot the moment he heard the referee giving the signal to start the battle and without even giving Kuwabara a chance to extend his bamboo sword he slammed his bamboo sword on his head causing him to fall on the floor before announcing "And that's one strike for you. "

"Hit. " when Kuwabara falls on the floor, the referee finally discovers Takashi and announces the result.

"Damn it how can a human move so fast. " asks Kuwabara in frustration before getting up from the floor while rubbing his head in confusion.

Outside the arena, Tatsuki was also surprised thinking "When did that shameless perfect become so fast? "

On another side, Tsubaki also had a surprised face looking at Takashi because even she didn't catch his movement as she didn't expect a human to be so fast but that speed was truly inhuman and she should ask her King to observe Takashi and make him part of their peerage however when she took another look at Takashi she can not find anything special about him and his looks is only above average "I wonder if he is truly the one, I am looking for? "

Back to Takashi.

Although he didn't use any Spiritual Energy earlier however with his mastery of flash steps it isn't hard for him to use parts of the art with ease.

So when he is using something that fast,  it would be strange if anyone could spot his movement and say to himself "Maybe I went too fast and need to slow down else someone might suspect me. "

By the time Takashi and Kuwabara have taken their place, the referee has already given the signal and this time Kuwabara is the one who made the first move by dashing forward and slashing towards Takashi's bally while saying with a smile "Got you. "

"Yes, almost. " says Takashi with an indifferent smile before placing his bamboo sword in the way of Kuwabara's bamboo sword to block it and using a strong force to push it back which caused Kuwabara to step back a few steps when Takashi slashed at his head mercilessly.

"Not again. " says Kuwabara with a serious face before rolling on the floor to save himself from Takashi's strike and the next moment he again jumps to slash Takashi from the back when Takashi also dodged the slash by bending his body enough to let the bamboo sword to pass over his head the with a seif move he slammed his bamboo sword on Kuwabara to fly out of the arena before asking "Did I again went to far. "

"I am alright. " says Kuwabara with some effort before trying to stand up with all his might just to fall again.

"Are you sure dude? " asks Takashi, worried sure he doesn't like the guy however he also doesn't want to hurt someone without a proper reason.

"Well it is painful sure, however, nothing I can not handle. " says Kuwabara with a smile as he pushed himself with some effort before looking at the referee to ask "What are you waiting for? " 

"Oh~ right. " finally understanding the situation the referee shouts with a nod "Hit and the winner is Takashi Yamamoto of Karakura High and our first consistent for the final match of Western Tokyo area. "

After the announcement, Takashi walks out of the arena before saying as he looks at Kuwabara with a smile as he extends his hand for a handshake "You are one strange guy. "

"You are also not that normal. " says Kuwabara with a smile while shaking Takashi's hand.

"Let's meet in the Tokyo area Kendo tournament once again. " says Takashi with a smile.

"I hope you will improve by then else I will not lose to you again. " says Kuwabara with a smile before returning to his group. 

"Tatsuki Arisawa of Karakura Town vs Tsubaki Shinra of Kuoh Academy please step in the arena and take your place. "
