(No code is finished... wait...)

It was originally a qualifier, but Uesugi Do thought that the outside world would not pay much attention to this game.

But when he saw the huge gymnasium being sat full, he still felt that he underestimated the extent to which Kendo was being paid attention to in the outside world.

The competition system is a standard elimination system, with 16 teams participating in the competition, divided into four groups of ABCD, each group of 4 teams meet and advance in batches.

Miyata Kazuhiro is a group reporter of the newspaper. According to convention, he also came to the Wudouguan this year to complete the interview and investigation and record the writing work. In addition to the live broadcast of the TV station, they are the front line of spreading the event news to the outside world.

"Coffee, do you want it? Or this bottle of green tea."

"Coffee, I'm a little sleepy when I stayed up late to write the first edition."

The person who spoke to him was Yoshihiko Edo, a reporter from the same group as him. The interviewees were different from each other, and they would also discuss, edit, delete, and proofread the first draft written, and report the progress of the work to the executive editor at the regular meeting.

"Working overtime is not a good thing." Jiang Teng Qiyan said with a smile, unscrewing the bottle cap of the green tea.

Miyata Kazuhiro shook his head and did not resume the conversation.

Longer working hours mean more success, and employees who work 10 hours more per week have a greater chance of being promoted to management positions because such people are more trusted by newspapers.

He has just gotten married, his wife is seven months pregnant, and the child is about to be born, and he has to work hard to move forward.

The work of the group pays great attention to team spirit and teamwork, and has a unique cultural atmosphere: even if your work has been completed, you have to accompany your colleagues to work overtime to the end.

Contrary to him.

Jiang Teng Qiyan is a seemingly hardworking employee.

Commonly known as "fishing".

This type of person slows down the pace of work as much as possible and drags his work until evening before doing it.

In this way, to his colleagues, he has been working hard all the time.

If the work tasks are qualified and meet the standards, the company is unlikely to be eliminated, but the performance has always been on the spot and has no characteristics, so there is no room for promotion.

The two are good friends, and after every day, they occasionally go to the izakaya to have a drink or something.

"How do you feel this year?" Jiang Teng Qiyan drank green tea and looked at the venue where a lottery ceremony was being held.

"Well~ It's still the teams that have advanced in previous years." Miyata Kazuhiro put the canned coffee aside, lowering his head and writing something, "I think it's more interesting than a team competition."

"Isn't the battle between genres attractive?" Jiang Teng Qiyan disagreed with his friends' views.

"It's more attractive to those of us who can understand it, but for outside audiences and readers, they want to hear different characters. After all, many genres are already familiar with them."

Miyata Kazuhiro stopped the pen and inserted it back into his pocket on his chest.

Then he looked at the name of the person recorded in his hand. In the past champions, he drew a symbol of the flying bird with a single sword.

"Is there no special point this year? In this case... I can only write about the three consecutive championships of the Fujizu player."

“It really is.”

“What is it?”

Jiang Teng Qiyan looked at the team drawing lots in the venue: "It seems that the Fujikuan Asuki is no longer in the team of Wuxin Pavilion."

Miyata Kazuhiro suddenly looked up at him drinking green tea: "What does it mean?"

"It means literally."

"You mean..." Miyata and Hiroshi put together notes, "No more? He is a senior disciple, and he can be said to be the signature of the younger generation."

"It's just literal meaning, it's not that difficult to understand."

"Nakihiko, do you know the value of this message? You are just telling me now."

"Ha-Don't be angry, I just heard the rumor that I heard by chance. A few days ago, I didn't ask the disciples there. There was no such thing as this. I don't think there was any need to tell such a rumored news. I think you are busy enough to work overtime every day."

"Confirm not?"

"I just asked the day before yesterday."

Miyata Kazuhiro suddenly thought of something and took out his mobile phone to find several commonly used websites.

And on that web page, there is what Jiang Teng Qiyan just said.

"Look at this."

"What?" Jiang Tengqiyan looked at the phone he raised. The few black and bold fonts on the page were almost inconsistent with what he said just now.

"Impossible! I even went to ask!"

Miyata Kazuhiro: "Since that's the case, what's the situation when this news was first published by other newspapers?"

Jiang Tengqianhiko took Miyata Kazuhiro's cell phone and glanced at it several times: "The above only said that it was suspected, and they didn't even have a process of verifying it."

Miyata Kazuhiro sighed: "What if it is true? Besides, if we do these tasks, aren't we just going to report these suspected and hearsay reports to attract attention?"

"This is irresponsible to the readers."

"But this will be responsible for the sales of the newspaper and our own future." Miyata Kazuhiro sighed and did not say anything.

Each has different positions.

He has a home to support and must move forward.

Jiang Teng Qiyan has no worries and can try his best to balance his bottom line at work.

But who doesn’t want to be a journalist with professional ethics? If you can do it, you will naturally do it. If you can’t do it... you can only follow the trend and make a living to support your children first.

"The lottery ceremony has begun."

Miyata Kazuhiro began to pay attention to the team entering the field.

The draw in the morning and the afternoon competition, so this morning became the focus of many reporters present.

If you advance to the semi-finals, the team will represent the Kanto Division and compete in the whole country.

For all those who are concerned about the competitions in previous years, one of the places in the Kanto Division has long been decided in their hearts.

"Who goes to draw lots?"

"According to the convention, of course, the general is here." Nanmumaru patted Uesugi Kyu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Uesugi nodded and followed the staff to the lottery site.

In order to show fairness, the lottery ceremony was in the center.

Each team sends people to come forward to draw a vote. If it is A, it will be assigned to Group A. If it is B, it will be assigned to Group B, and so on.

Therefore, the qualifiers depend on luck. It is very important to have a team to be the opponent.

Miyata Kazuhiro and Etaka Nanhiko looked at the venue in the closer auditorium.

"Isn't this year a strong team vs. a strong team at the beginning, right? To be honest, it was a pity for the five people in the previous session of Takeuchi Dojo. I met the Wuxin Dojo where Fujibu Asuka was located."

"I can only say that my luck is not very good."

The two chatted about the formation. In this national event, the first seed team, Wuxin Taoist temple, and the representative of generals who were the only one-sword in the country appeared.

In the gymnasium camera, the reporter almost looked at that person.

Don't know.

Haven't seen it before.

A strange but handsome face appeared in everyone's vision.

"Wait," Miyata Kazuhiro immediately turned his head and asked his friend Jiang Teng Qiyan, "Isn't the general in Wuxin Taoist temple Fujikuan Asuki? Who is he?"

Jiang Teng Qiyan also knew what was going on and patted his head: "I didn't expect that what I heard when I was drunk was true, and Fujikuan Asuka was really no longer in the team that was indifferent to the Taoist temple."

The general who went to fight was temporarily changed, which was something that no one expected.

Neither believe nor understand.

Originally, according to the original configuration, Wuxin Taoist temple could basically win three consecutive championships without any obstacles.

Their team is full of young people. It is a legend to win two championships in various senior schools.

But this legend was suddenly declared over, and even the most important soul figure in the three consecutive championships seemed to be forced out of the team and was gone.

Extremely abrupt.

Whether from the outside world or from the inside of Wuxin Temple, I feel incredible.

The reporters raised their cameras one after another.

Uesugi Take a look at him from left to right in the center of the gym and finds many cameras taking photos of him.

Is this going to give him another name?

He still remembers.

When he participated in the bow track competition, an unscrupulous reporter gave him the title of second-year junior high school, which he had been with him to the championship position.

【The Meteor of the World】

When Uesuma Sato listened, he was about to be shocked.

Auditorium.
