The Sword Deity in Tokyo - Chapter 156
At approximately three o’clock in the afternoon, the first day of the Jade Dragon Flag Tokyo District Qualifiers ended.
People had heard about the incident in District A, and many were intrigued by what happened in District A that afternoon.
Therefore, everyone was looking forward to the official Jade Dragon Flag in Tokyo in the evening. The videos from today’s match were uploaded on the official website. Some of the videos were from District A so that the spectators could reminisce about the scene. As for the curious people who had not witnessed it, they were able to check out the videos and validate the brouhaha.
There were a few people who were asking about Kimura Kazuki at the end of the competition. Information regarding Kimura Kazuki was minimal.
Learning that Senior Kimura had other errands to run, Harunaka and the others bid farewell to Kimura Kazuki. They also parted ways with the Women’s Team of the Kendo Association. As for Fuyuno, she split with the team at Tachibana Budo Association, saying that she had something to attend to and had to take their leave. Then, Harunaka, Natsui, and Akino went home together. When she reached home, she put down her things and sneaked out immediately.
As soon as she exited the house, she made a phone call with her mobile phone.
“Yui, where are you?”
“Have you arrived?”
“I’m here.”
“I’m right outside your apartment.”
As soon as Harunaka went out, she was welcomed by a beautiful girl. She could not help but smile and said, “Thanks for your help.”
“It’s no trouble… But I’m curious.” The girl’s full name was Yui Takahara and was Harunaka’s classmate during her years in junior high school. As they came from a similar background, they quickly became good friends. However… Harunaka’s academic performance was way behind Yui’s. When Yui Takahara was in junior high school, her grades were always at the top of the academic chart. Harunaka admired Yui very much, knowing that her achievement was entirely a result of her hard work.
Not only did she study hard at school, but she also attended cram school as well. As she said, she had to work even harder as she was born from a wealthy family.
“What are you curious about?”
“What are you curious about?” Yui rolled her eyes at Harunaka, “I remember that you never liked to study… you will head to the Kendo Association right after school every day. Why did you change after you began to attend high school? ”

Yui was in disbelief when Harunaka asked her out and stated the will to participate in cram school. She was shocked and skeptical. Is she really the Harunaka who used to only care about Kendo?
“There will come one day when you get sick of Kendo if you practice it every day. Also, I have to think about my future. I can’t just muddle about at a random university.”
“You’re right. It’s good that you have finally been awakened. Oh, yes. How about your three sisters? Don’t they want to join you?”
“I suppose not.”
“What do you mean? Harunaka, I think you are acting rather strange today.”
They continued their discussion as they boarded the tram.
The cram school that Yui attended was named ‘Touch Memory.’ It was founded a few years ago by three female teachers. As of now, it is a well-known center with more than 30 senior female teachers.
The cram school accepted only female students and was very popular among schoolgirls as they did not have to worry about being harassed and disturbed by the boys when they attend their classes.
Since she had never been to cram school, Harunaka followed Yui to register herself.
In fact, Harunaka had never foreseen that she would take the initiative to study one day. When she made this decision, she was in disbelief as well.
Every time Senpai she met Senpai, her heart would pound unstoppably, and her cheeks would be flushing red. Despite being an insensitive person, she noticed the strange changes her body was going through.
I think… I have a crush on Kimura-senpai. She could not think straight whenever he was around. Besides, she dreamed of him every night. Harunaka knew that this phenomenon was not normal, and she was constantly reminded about her spoony feeling toward Kimura Kazuki.
Then, she would recall how senpai always topped the academic chart at school with his excellent results and scored full marks for almost all of the examinations he took. If he was successfully enrolled at the University of Tokyo, she might never see him ever again. She learned from the people on the internet that the years at the university were the best time of most people’s lives, and many had made their best friends in the university.
Senpai might forget about us in the future.
As soon as the idea emerged, Harunaka felt anxious.
Junior high school and senior high school were just stepping stones for many people. For them, stories that happened during elementary school, junior and senior high school were not as significant as the ones that occurred during their time in university.
She did not want to take classes from senpai directly because she was not confident with her determination. She thought that she might get bored with the classes sooner or later.
They got off at the station and soon arrived at ‘Touch Memory.’
Yui led Harunaka to ‘Touch Memory,’ taking a route she was very familiar with. Many teenage girls went in and out of the cram school, most of them were carrying school bags filled with their learning materials. Harunaka was not quite used to seeing this.
“By the way, what subjects do you want to learn about? ”
Harunaka recalled her results for the assessment test her senior conducted for the sisters and said in an embarrassed tone, “I want to revise all the subjects of the freshman year.”
Yui simply acknowledged Harunaka’s words with a brief “Oh,” causing Harunaka’s cheeks to flush further. Upon seeing Harunaka’s reaction, she knew that Harunaka had misunderstood. Then, she hurriedly said, “I thought your knowledge level was only at the elementary school level. After all, your results in junior high school were terrible. It caught me by surprise when you said that you were at the junior high school level. In my opinion, you’ve done an outstanding job. Nonetheless, you hardly studied during junior high school but practiced Kendo all day and all night.”
Are you even trying to comfort me? Harunaka muttered to herself. Yui registered for Harunaka, but they did not pay for the tuition fees. Before one registers for a class in ‘Touch Memory,’ they are allowed a trial class first. That was for the parents to understand the teaching style they applied at the cram school, at the same time, it would allow the parents to assess the standard of the teachers personally.
When Yui ushered Harunaka to the class for the junior high schoolers, they found that many girls were already sitting at their respective seats to revise on their own.
Harunaka was feeling uneasy because she knew that she was the only senior high school student present, and the rest of the girls were students of junior high school. She did not feel comfortable being here.
Yui sensed Harunaka’s anxiety. She chuckled, “You can rest assured that I’m the only one here who knows that you’re a senior high school student!”
Harunaka rolled her eyes, “I’ll get myself a seat. You go on with your classes.”
“Sure.” Yui checked the time and replied, “Let’s meet at the front gate at 5.30 pm. We’ll contact each other via email.”
“Alright.”
After Yui left, Harunaka found herself a seat. However, when she sat down, she noticed something unusual. The silhouette of the person appeared way too familiar.
She stared at the girl incredulously and said in a doubtful voice, “Fuyuno?”
However, the girl did not respond. Now, Harunaka was almost sure that she was Fuyuno.
She gently tapped the girl’s back, but the girl gave no response.
Seeing her reaction, Harunaka picked up her mobile phone. After some 10 seconds, she said, “Fuyuno… do you remember the last time Natsui went missing and was saved by senpai? After that, we could always track each other on our phones. According to my phone, you are now sitting in front of me!”
Fuyuno turned around upon hearing Harunaka’s words. She made a preemptive strike, “What are you doing here!”
“I should be the one asking you questions.”
