“Ka-dang—”

The crisp sound echoed in the silent dojo, and everyone in the kendo club woke up one by one. When they realized that the competition was over, they immediately started to make a lot of noise. Some people excitedly ran to the VCR to watch the video, wanting to relive this wonderful competition a few more times. More people cheered and gathered around, as they had so many questions they wanted to ask these two people.

Li Nian had already walked to Jianshan’s side. When passing by the table, he picked up two bottles of water and sat down next to Jianshan. With a “Hey”, he put one bottle on Jianshan’s forehead and opened another bottle and drank it. He was sweating all over and was very thirsty.

History always repeats itself. Isayama obviously didn’t take Li Nian’s warning seriously. He was exhausted again after having been high for too long. He really wanted to drink water, but he didn’t even have the strength to grab a bottle of water. He knew that this guy was doing it on purpose, so he said angrily, “Stop it. You know I can’t move now! Feed me now!”

Li Nian drank to her heart’s content, and even burped deliberately after finishing, shaking the empty water bottle twice, making Isayama, whose throat was about to smoke, tremble with envy. He then said slowly, “Who told you not to remember to save some energy? Now you can’t even drink water, learn this lesson.”

“The one with the surname Li!” Isayama was a little crazy, and his voice became shrill.

Seeing that Isayama was really anxious, Li Nian gave up the idea of ​​playing with her anymore: “Okay, okay, don’t be anxious.” Then she opened the kettle, helped her up and fed her water.

“Guwuwuwuwuwu…Puha! Hiccupuuuuuuuuuuuu…Huh, it feels good!”

Not afraid of choking, Jianshan used all his strength to raise his head and slurp up the water. He only spit it out after the bottle was flattened. She didn’t act like a lady from a noble family at all. She even imitated Li Nian and burped for a long time. Finally, she leaned comfortably on his shoulder and breathed gently.

The kendo club members who were waiting tactfully on the side and did not disturb the two of them all had expressions of dismay, thinking that Senior Isayama was not such an unruly person.

In their impression, Isayama is a strong senior who always keeps a straight posture no matter how tired she is. Her awe-inspiring demeanor is endearing… They have rarely seen Isayama in such an unkempt state. Maybe it’s because this competition was too tiring?

Someone had already brought towels, stools and other things. Li Nian helped Isayama sit up, took the towel and threw it over. A cute girl with a big heart and a bob haircut hurriedly took it and started to wipe the sweat off Isayama’s face.

Li Nian wiped his sweat while looking at Jianshan.

Isayama grimaced in pain because of the scratches on his wounds, but he endured it and asked Suguha who was wiping his sweat, “Did you take pictures of everything?”

“Senior, please don’t move… I’ve filmed it. Your swordsmanship is truly superb! It’s really great to be able to film this sparring session. I will definitely keep it as a treasure and leave it to the younger generation in our kendo club to observe and learn from…”

“Who told you to keep it?! Hurry up and post it on the school’s SNS. This guy is very popular right now. His guest appearance will surely make the video popular, and then it will attract a lot of customers to come to our kendo club to watch, understand? Go quickly.”

“Huh?” Suguha turned around and looked at Li Nian for a while. In the latter’s puzzled expression, the child clapped his hands as if he suddenly understood something and said, “Is that so! You are worthy of being a senior! You can come up with such a good idea! I will do it right away.”

Then she ran to the side to make a phone call.

——”Brother! I have something to ask of you. You know the most about computers. I have a video that I want to post on the Sobu High School website. Can you look into it?…”

Li Nian couldn’t help but twitch his lips. At this point, he almost understood the whole story: “Jiashan, is this why you called me here?”

Isayama rolled his eyes: “Why, you don’t want to help?”

“…You can’t just call me over without saying anything and then just chop me with a knife, right?”

“You are only allowed to commit a bunch of mistakes on your own and then leave them to me to clean up the mess? You are not allowed to ask you to do something as small as this?”

Li Nian was speechless and could not say anything to complain. He immediately put on a smile and said, “…You are absolutely right. I am afraid that I can’t help you. I just recorded a video of me sparring with you, hoping that it will become popular in a few minutes and help your club gain popularity. Do I have the face to do that?”

“Maybe you really do.” Wu Geng and others came over: “You don’t know how popular you are on the Internet now.”

“…?”

Kasumigaoka said slowly: “And the performance just now was wonderful, more photogenic than you think. Isayama did a very smart thing.”

“It’s not really a performance. Isayama was very serious… well, he was serious to an abnormal degree.” After the competition, Li Nian finally cast aside the doubts in his mind and asked meaningfully, “Did you try too hard today? I really don’t understand why.”

Isayama was startled, then he looked up at the group of lovely younger Kendo club members gathered around him. Seeing that each of them looked like they had a lot of questions to ask, he smiled lonely.

“Because I’m about to graduate… I’m a little sentimental, too. Thinking about this last chance, I want to help my club. I know that everyone in the Kendo Club has been suspicious of me, so I’d like to take this opportunity to give everyone an explanation… I’m sorry, Li Nian, for involving you.”

Isayama’s words acknowledged everyone in the kendo club’s speculation about her identity.

Li Nian understood and shrugged: “What are you talking about? We are friends. Just treat me to a good meal and we’ll be clear.”

Although they did not use any other techniques except body and weapon enhancement, the abilities displayed by the two in the previous competition have indeed exceeded the scope of normal humans. Some of the kendo club members who saw it on the scene have combined Isayama’s usual performance in club activities and recalled Isayama’s identity. They may also be able to further understand the secret of Li Nian, who is even stronger than her.

This is what the people at the scene are like. After the video is circulated, if it really becomes popular in Sobu High School, more people may notice it…

But at this point, Li Nian no longer cares about his identity as an exorcist being exposed. He has become as rare a creature as a panda in a zoo. This has long gone against Li Nian’s original intention of hiding his profession in order to attract less attention. In his heart, he has already given up on himself.

Anyway, he won’t admit it. What others think behind his back is their business. As long as it doesn’t bother him, that’s enough. For those who bother him, Li Nian naturally has plenty of ways to make them calm down.

Senior Isayama seems to be no exception and wants to go crazy before graduation. For this civil servant who has always been well-behaved, this is a rare loss of composure… Such a senior is more like a girl and appears cute.

Li Nian still thought it was quite fun and was happy to join in.

He understood that student days were unique, and being able to relax during student days was also a unique experience. In the rest of his life, he would be oppressed by numerous rules, and he would not have the mentality or environment to indulge himself even once.

Based on this, he has actually always hoped that the lovely children around him could live more freely during their rare student years.

Do what you want to do and ask for what you want.

Chapter 503: She is a sincere and respected senior sister

Isayama dragged Li Nian along to act recklessly for the sake of the kendo club, but to the members of the kendo club, all they saw was this guy being beaten up in exchange for inviting a celebrity from Sobu High School to save the club that was facing the crisis of being disbanded (which it actually wasn’t), and they were deeply moved.

I have to say that the people in the sports club are quite innocent, especially those who can’t stand the situation where their seniors have to contribute to the club before leaving. At this moment, they all look like they are about to cry.

Suguha couldn’t help but hug her beloved senior: “For everyone in the club, you are so thoughtful…”

It should be said that for Isayama, being close to girls is also a very happy thing. Normally, he also likes the soft feeling of a broad-minded junior throwing himself on him. But at this time, their skins were in contact with the places where Li Nian had hit them hard with the wooden sword. At that time, Isayama’s expression became very interesting, and he looked like he was enduring very hard.

Would Li Nian sympathize with her? Of course not, and she even laughed out loud.

Naturally, this attracted Isayama’s angry glare, thinking that this guy really had no awareness of being the culprit who caused him injuries all over his body. After being glared at, Li Nian finally put away his playful expression.

However, after realizing that her action had affected her senior’s wound, Suguha immediately stepped back. Then she came to her senses and complained, “Come to think of it! Fighting without protective gear is too dangerous! How could you two do this?”

Isayama quickly defended Li Nian, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m tough and this guy is holding back.”

Did he actually hold back his strength? The answer is no. It is one thing to control the strength of the technique by controlling the body, but it still hurts mercilessly when it hits the body. This is the consistent style of Li Nian and Isayama when they spar.

“Even so, you can’t not wear protective gear. You said that when I joined the club, Isayama-senpai…”

Seeing that the cute junior was about to start lecturing him, Isayama immediately changed the subject and said to Li Nian, “Do you need to take a shower? I can give you a set of kimonos to change into.”

“Oh, just right. But do you still have the energy to wipe yourself?”

Jianshan rolled his eyes at him and said, “Then can you help me wash it?”

Isayama didn’t think too much when he said this. As soon as he said it, he realized that he was in front of the members of the Kendo Club. As expected, the discussion around him suddenly weakened.

Seeing the raised phoenix eyes, Li Nian, who felt inexplicably charming, was also stunned when she heard this, but quickly came to her senses and quickly shook off the inexplicable restlessness in her heart. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid you’ll cry out in pain and blame me, so I won’t do it.”

Isayama secretly thought that his tone had become loose again in front of this guy, so he smiled calmly and said, “Don’t underestimate me. It’s just a beating. I’m used to it. It’s okay.”

The tone of the joke dissipated a lot of the strange feeling that everyone had for a moment, but some of it still remained. Several acquaintances of Isayama in the Kendo Club couldn’t help but think that the senior sister didn’t seem like the kind of person who would make such a joke in the club.

Li Nian looked at Wu Geng and the others who followed him here and said, “Excuse me, can you wait for me for a moment? Ten minutes will be enough.”

At this time, Wu Geng had already found the video that had just been posted on the school’s SNS website on his mobile browser. Kato, Kasumigaoka and more members of the Kendo Club gathered around and looked curiously at the rapidly increasing number of comments. They just waved their hands to signal Li Nian to get lost and not to ask for their opinions on such a small matter.

It seemed that they would not be bored here, so Li Nian turned around and went to take a shower with Isayama… Of course, they were not in the same bathroom, as the Sobu High School dojo was equipped with separate bathrooms for men and women.

They talked for ten minutes, but it was still fifteen minutes later that Li Nian and Isayama came back one after another, talking and laughing, wearing the same style of kendo uniforms.

Seeing that scene, everyone couldn’t help but look sideways, feeling that the scene formed by these two tall figures was inexplicably light and harmonious, yet solid and powerful.

But the content of the conversation was different.

“Pfft, I could clearly hear you screaming in pain during the five minutes I waited for you outside the bathroom, and you were still pretending to be fine. It was so funny. Must this bath be very painful?”

“I’ll kick you.”

“Forget it, I know you can’t even lift your thigh to kick me now, hahaha!”

“Just wait, when I get better I will remember this kick and kick you in the face.”

“Hahaha… Never mind, I’ll heal you later.”

“This is what you should do! Don’t think your face can escape my kick like this.”

“Don’t move too much today.”

“I won’t! I can still jump! Why can you happily visit the school festival with a bunch of beautiful girls while I am waiting here for customers and counting the grain of wood? Take me with you too!”

“That’s up to you, but your Kendo Club’s activities…”

“I have completed my mission by getting people here. As for the rest, Senior Five, who cannot be in a state of losing strength and unable to swing his sword, cannot help me here.”

“Yeah… that’s true. Even Wu Geng can beat you in your current state.”

When they said this, the two had already walked to the side of Gogen and others. After hearing this, Gogen looked at Jianshan with shining eyes.

“For now, I won’t pursue your statement that I’m a worthless loser… because I may be, but can I really defeat Senior Isayama now?” Gogen asked curiously.

“If you don’t believe me, try it. By the way, her biggest weakness right now is probably her waist.” Li Nian encouraged her.

“Hmph, I’m not that weak… Guhuh?!” Isayama, who originally didn’t take the joke seriously, was poked in the waist by Gogen’s curiosity. The words were immediately stuck in his throat by the infinite sourness that surged up. His whole body froze, and he looked at Gogen in disbelief with his eyes wide open, shaking.

I didn’t expect that Isayama would really react so strongly. Gogen was actually shocked and quickly retracted his hand: “Sorry, I just wanted to try…”

Seeing this, Kasumigaoka became eager to try: “Hey, Isayama-san is in such a bad condition now? It seems that the waist is the weak point…” As he said that, he slowly stretched out his hand.

“It’s the wound!” Jianshan quickly slapped the hand away, then looked at the smiling Li Nian. His eyes really became a little unfriendly, and he had already put the blame on the deceiver: “Now it’s two feet, I can print them symmetrically on your face, happy.”

Li Nian didn’t take it seriously. He looked around and found that a wave of guests had arrived during this period of time. The people from the Kendo Club were busy entertaining them. Some people were pointing and talking excitedly because they noticed the arrival of him and Isayama.

“I was right to rush over after watching the video! The [Martial God] is still here! And the one who fought him!”

“Again! Again!”

“Coach! I want to learn kendo!”

Li Nian was a little surprised by the noise of the students who came to visit that the video had spread so quickly and attracted so many visitors. Although he was puzzled, he came to his senses and waved to those people, saying with a smile: “Sorry, neither I nor this person has any strength left. Let the kendo club teach you. You can experience their real sword fighting activities. I believe that if you pick up the bamboo sword and dance a few times, you will find the fun of swinging the sticks you found on the roadside when you were a child. When you hit your opponent in the real sword fighting, you will further understand the pleasure of chopping people and understand the true meaning of kendo.”

Isayama complained quietly: “What have you said about the solemn way of swordsmanship…”

But the guests thought it made sense and responded loudly. Immediately, several people were instigated to sign up for the event. Seeing this, Isayama didn’t say anything.

I stayed in the Kendo Club for a while longer because I couldn’t refuse the hospitality of the members. Although many guests had started to come into the dojo and needed their reception, they had witnessed the fight between Li Nian and Isayama and had a lot to say to the two of them, so they wanted to come over and chat when they had time.

The broad-minded student, Suguha Kiritani, was even more excited and kept pestering Li Nian to ask about kendo-related skills, and at the same time, she persistently tried to persuade Li Nian to join the club.

“Senior, are you really not considering joining the Kendo Club?”

“Not consider.”

“Are you really, really, really not going to consider it? With your ability, I believe it will be no problem for you to lead the Sobu High School Kendo Club to win the national championship again!”

Li Nian was planning to use a euphemism to firmly express that she was not interested.

“Forget it, Suguha. For that guy, the National Youth Kendo Tournament is like playing house and is meaningless. Don’t bother him. The future of the Kendo Club still depends on you guys to fight for it.”

Jianshan had already finished explaining some things to the members over there, and came over, and gave a clear and concise answer on behalf of Li Nian.

Isayama once tried to persuade Li Nian to join the kendo club, but as he got to know this guy better, he realized that this idea was ridiculous.

After all, the Kendo Club exists as a sports club with the purpose of cultivating moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor qualities.

And now the various parts of his body that were still aching were reminding Jianshan that the knife in Li Nian’s hand was not such a gentle thing. It was very obvious during the fight that this person’s kendo was extremely simple and aimed at killing people. If you think about it carefully, this kind of kendo is not something that young people should have too much contact with. It’s okay to give some guidance to the younger generations in the kendo club, but it’s really not good for a deeper understanding.

Suguha was speechless for a moment.

Li Nian didn’t know what Jian Shan was thinking, so he said helplessly: “Look at what you said, I have never underestimated the way of the sword.”

“I know you don’t look down on kendo. You only look down on sports kendo…Okay, from now on, all the matters of the kendo club will be handed over to you, Suguha. I will be irresponsible and go play with my friends~~”

Suguha came back to her senses and looked at Isayama who had packed up his personal belongings. She realized that she would not be coming back, so she lowered her head and said, “…Yes, senior, you are right. I will definitely rely on my own strength to expand the kendo club. I am sorry that you have taken time out of your busy schedule to come here. This is what I should have done. I feel sorry for causing so much trouble to you who have already retired.”

“It’s okay. I’m happy to help my lovely juniors.”

Knowing that his clever junior could comprehend the deeper meaning of his words, Isayama smiled with satisfaction and glanced around the dojo where he had once shed his sweat. He felt that he might never have the chance to come back again.

Isayama has already retired from the club, and will be able to go to school freely in the third year, without having to go to school. However, Isayama does not have as much free time as other students. As an exorcist, she is very busy. It is estimated that she will not come back to Sobu High School very often. The next time she will have the opportunity to come back and see these lovely juniors in the club will probably be during the graduation ceremony. It depends on whether there are any tasks arranged on that day…

Jianshan shook his head, abandoned the last bit of attachment in his heart, turned around, and greeted Li Nian and others.

“Let’s go.”

The group was about to leave the dojo, and when the members of the Kendo Club saw them, they all stopped what they were doing.

Looking at Isayama’s back, everyone actually realized that this senior might not come back in the future. Starting with a member who bravely shouted, “Isayama-senpai! Thank you for your careful guidance all the time!”, everyone began to howl, saying similar but heartfelt words of gratitude.

For some reason, there are still people who say idiotic things like “If that man dares to let you down, just tell us! We will fight him even if he is a god of war!” and “You must be happy in the future!”

Isayama turned around and was stunned for a moment. Finally, he bowed to everyone and spoke seriously.

“Me too. I will definitely remember the precious time I spent with everyone in the Kendo Club for the rest of my life.”

……

……

“You have such a high reputation, Isayama-senpai. What is a show of respect? This is what a show of respect is. Today I have witnessed it.”

Walking on the streets of the campus, Li Nian sighed sincerely. He was truly shocked by the shouts of farewell from the group of members when Jianshan left the dojo.
