Looking at how Harunaka was glancing at him nervously, Kimura Kazuki laughed.
He had thought of joining the Kendo Association before this to show off his strength a little. He planned to start training them after gaining the approval of the Kendo Association’s members. He would then favor Harunaka and train her properly.
However, the video on the NICONICO website made an exceptional contribution.
He pretended to be deep in thought when he saw Furuhashi Sakurakyu walking in through the door with a worried expression on her face.
For the past two days, every time Furuhashi Sakurakyu went to the academy, she would be on the first floor of the classroom building during classes to observe her daughters like a pervert, and she had been following them around. Ever since she found out about Harunaka and her sisters’ results, she had been sighing all the time. All she thought about was how she could improve the academic results of Harunaka and her sisters.
According to Kimura Kazuki, Harunaka and her sisters did not have the motivation to study. This was also the reason why all the tutors Harashin found had left in defeat.
It was not because the standards of the tutors were not good enough. It was because Harunaka and her sisters simply did not want to study. Besides that, their results became stagnant. They immediately had headaches when they looked at books, and a vicious cycle was then formed.
Also, the reason Harunaka could practice the foundations of Kendo day in and day out was because she was motivated by her dream. She hoped that she could lead the Kendo Association to victory at the Nationals, this was her short-term goal.
If she could achieve this goal, perhaps Harunaka’s goal would be to become a Level Seven Kendo Master. However, one had to be at least 35 years old or above to reach the standard of Level Seven Kendo in Japan.
This correlated with Japan’s restrictions in ascending levels in Kendo.
The First Level of Kendo has an age limit, which is Second Grade of Junior High School, approximately 14 years old and above.
The tests of each level in Kendo are not allowed to be skipped, and there is a time limitation between every two levels. For example, the Second Level test could only be taken a year after the First Level test, the Third Level test could only be taken two years after the Second Level test, the Fourth Level test could only be made three years after the Third Level test, and so on.
Therefore, if Harunaka set all her life goals on Kendo, it would be impossible for her to focus on her studies because her motivation was not toward her academics.
The same goes for the others. Since Akino developed games, what she needed to study was about professional knowledge. Since Fuyuno wanted to be a voice actress, likewise, to be an elite in the industry, she had to put in the effort every day.
From Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s point of view, only Natsui had some reason to study as she wanted to be the President of the Student Council. Although there were no academic requirements to be the President of the Student Council, she must have at least one outstanding ability to be able to convince the student body.
For example, Yanagawa Izumi who was a member of the Sword Believers’ Club. Since the students of Sakurakyu had always looked up to the Sword Believers’ Club, he could manage the Student Council without effort.
However, Furuhashi Sakurakyu thought of how well Natsui managed “Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club,” and she even obtained the support of all the girls in the society. It was clear that Natsui’s charisma was not to be underestimated... This was her strongest ability.
These two days, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had a deeper understanding of her four daughters. Although she could not go to Suiryu Apartment to observe her daughters’ daily lives... she already had an approximate figure.
On the other side, Kimura Kazuki thought it over and agreed, “Sure.”
“Really?” Upon hearing his answer, a touching smile bloomed on Harunaka’s face as she looked at her senior with sparkling eyes and blushing face. She knew that even having half of her senior’s strength could earn her a spot in the Kendo community.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu, saw her daughter standing in front of Kimura Kazuki as he walked over. Her daughter’s beautiful smile made her stunned. A thought flashed in her mind in that instance, and she was so happy she almost shouted... She finally thought of a way to motivate her daughters to study.
“Of course.” Kimura Kazuki replied Harunaka as he stole a glance at Furuhashi Sakurakyu, who was ecstatic, almost attracting attention. It was fortunate that she was just an apparition, and he was the only one who could see her.
Right at this moment, the surrounding members of the Kendo Association had already watched the video of Kimura Kazuki on NICONICO’s website over and over.
They were all surprised at his strength in Kendo, their shock showing in their eyes. They thought that the Vice President was just trying to please Kimura Kazuki when he allowed him to compete without condition just now. All of them were shaming the Vice President’s behavior internally.
But after watching the video, each and every one of them was looking at Kimura Kazuki fervently with respect. Kimura Kazuki’s ability obtained their absolute approval. No wonder he could dominate Jinwen District. With the capacity for such strength, who could defeat him?
Some of the members were getting excited. The Kendo Association of Sakura Kyu High School was indeed at a low. However, all members still hoped to show their faces at the National Competition. Even with the slightly unusual system of the National Kendo Competition, if they had Kimura Kazuki, who knows, they might be able to get into the top few ranks.
Thinking of this, practically everyone was ecstatic, even the female members were jumping for joy. Although the team was separated for male and female, they would feel honored as long as pride could be brought to Sakura Kyu High School.
“Kimura-san, welcome to the club!” Iwai Hokuto immediately came to Kimura Kazuki’s side and babbled in fear that he would change his mind.
“It seems like I don’t need to have a competition with you,” said Kimura Kazuki with a laugh. Upon seeing everyone shaking their heads, he said, “I will join the society today, but I will not stay here as I have some things to deal with.”
Iwai Hokuto had no objections and immediately agreed. Or rather, even if Kimura Kazuki did not come for practice, it would not be a problem because the society itself would not force anyone. Since the district qualifiers were about to begin, everyone would still go for practice.
But, the way they saw it, with Kimura Kazuki’s ability, they reckoned that he would not slack off in practicing Kendo so it would be no difference no matter where he practiced.
Kimura Kazuki called to meet Harunaka. She was gazing at him with confusion when he passed 200000 yen to her and said in a light tone, “This is the money that you asked Yanagawa Izumi to pass to me yesterday. The text I sent you previously might have caused you some misunderstanding. So, I’m returning the money to you today.”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu had used his cell phone to text her daughter previously, and he reprimanded her severely. Luckily, there was not a big issue, just that Harunaka mistakenly thought that he needed money. Otherwise, he would teach her a huge lesson.
“Um...” Harunaka thought of something and said with a smile, “How about we take this 200,000 as the advanced tuition fees for Senpai for teaching me Kendo.”
Kimura Kazuki paused before looking at her, “Alright.” Then he took out another 100,000 and passed it to her. He said straight to the point, “Natsui-san also gave me 100,000 yesterday. Please return this to her and let her know. If she can manage the society perfectly in the long-term, I will support her to be the President of the Student Council.”
Harunaka took the 100,000. She was speechless, but she wanted to ask him, did he also send a text to Natsui? But in the end, she did not ask him anything.
After Kimura Kazuki and Harunaka said their goodbyes, he took the tram to Akira District to Yagyu Kenichiro’s address.
