RESURRECTION

Chapter 24

Saturday morning is coming. Masashi, Rumi and Kazumi come to Tokyo by bus, arriving at the kendo hall where the competition will be held.

As they walked in, they saw members of their school's kendo club and some instructors were also there. The people nearby came from many other schools that were preparing for the competition.

“Halo sensei, hello Ma Fang nee. Sorry, I'm late. "Rumi bowed towards Kendo Club Instructor Omura Kusakabe and said.

“No, you are not late, we just arrived early. Did you have a good rest last night? "Said Omura friendly.

“Thank you for sensei's attention, I've had a good rest. ”

"That's great . The school has not been ranked for many years now, and hopes we can fight for good results. ”

“I'll work hard sensei. ”

“Don't push yourself too hard, do your best. "The girl named Ma Fang said.

"Yes nih . ”

"Are these your two classmates?" Omura, watching Masashi and Kazumi, said.

“Sensei, this is senior Gennai Masashi, with his younger sister Kazumi. They're my most important friends, can they sit here? ”

“But according to the rules, only players or instructors can stay here, others can only sit in the audience place. "Say the difficulty Ma Fang.

“Can't you bend the rules? I want seniors to look at my matches up close to find out where I am lacking. ”Rumi keep begging.

"Oh, do your schoolmates know kendo, too?" Omura said as he looked at Masashi.

"I know a thing or two. "Masashi said indifferently.

“Because of Rumi's request, okay, I'll let them watch the game here. Rumi, you need to go and prepare. "Omura doesn't believe in what Rumi said, Masashi can't possibly be a kendo master.

Rumi, hearing Masashi could stay, sat down with great joy and began to introduce the history of the Kendo hall with Kazumi.

Masashi, while listening to the 30-year history of the kendo room, looked around. The entire hall was very spacious, with good lighting and paved with wooden floors. The place was filled with many people using bamboo swords and wearing training protective equipment, shouting continuously.

“Ma Fang, has the Ogata group come? Have you told him? ”Omura looked at the table, a little worried and asked Ma Fang, the manager of the kendo club.

“Ma Fang, has the Ogata group come? Have you told him? ”Omura looked at the table, a little worried and asked Ma Fang, the manager of the kendo club.

“I told him yesterday. Something might happen, making them come late. I'll call his house to ask again. ”

"Good"

Ma Fang was just about to call when he heard some boys running out of breath.

“We're late, sorry sensei. "Say of a man.

“Ogata you are the captain, how can you be late? And why are you guys late with him? ”Omura said with a grim face.

"Is that so?" Omura looked at the other children and asked.

“Yes, last night, we fell asleep at Captain Ogata's house. We trained until 12 p.m. Forgive us sensei. ”Some boys say in unison.

“Alright, next time don't be late. Also, do not practice until late at night. Get ready quickly. ”

“Alright, next time don't be late. Also, do not practice until late at night. Get ready quickly. ”

“Yes, sensei. "Listening to them, Omura's face looked satisfied.

Looking at his students to the back Omura showed joyful eyes, Masashi smiled.

“Rumi you have arrived. "Ogata saw Rumi sitting with Kazumi and immediately rushed to them.

"Hello, Ogata. ”

"You're still very polite, when did you get here?" Ogata took advantage of this situation and sat down beside Rumi.

"I arrived an hour ago," Rumi replied softly.

"Is this your classmate?" Noticing Masashi, Ogata asked.

“This is my senior, Gennai Masashi, and his younger sister, Gennai Kazumi. They came today to comfort me. Senior and Kazumi, this is the captain of our kendo club, Mr. Xu, who is now in his second year. ”

“Halo, my name Xu Ogata is happy to meet you. "Ogata looked at Masashi.

"It's nice to meet you" said Masashi.

“Halo, my name Xu Ogata is happy to meet you. "Ogata looked at Masashi.

"It's nice to meet you" said Masashi.

Kazumi said nothing and only nodded weakly.

"Senior, do you want a drink? I'll buy some for you. ”

“I'll buy it, you stay here and talk to Kazumi. Kazumi, you want coffee, right? Rumi what about you? ”

"I want a soda. ”Rumi is not polite to her.

"Ogata, what do you want?" Masashi turned around and asked Ogata.

“No, I'm not thirsty, and our Manager will prepare that for us. ”

"Then forget it. ”
