395: Chapter 384: Eager for Quick Success 395: Chapter 384: Eager for Quick Success “Stop the nonsense; a bunch of students should not be skipping classes to engage in duels,” scolded a school-level leader as he approached.
“Dong Chen, who allowed you to have a conflict with a foreign friend?
Get down from there immediately.”
This school-level leader’s intentions were good; if those kids were to be injured, it would not only impact the school, but Dong Chen would also be held responsible.
“Vice Principal, this matter is a small-scale contest between us; we will stop when we make contact,” the student named Dong Chen stepped forward and said.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, the Vice Principal knew that he should not say more.
Saying more would hurt the students’ feelings.
After all, they were provoked on their own turf, and if they did not fight back, they would certainly be looked down upon.
Since he couldn’t take action against the students, he had to focus on the teachers.
The Vice Principal turned to RB’s leading teacher who was watching the match and said, “Mr.
Yamamoto, these children are just being ridiculous.
If something really happens, no one can bear the responsibility.”
“Don’t worry; this is just an academic exchange.
Since everyone’s school has a different style, it’s great to have a comparison,” said the RB leading teacher with a smile, though he had little respect for those from the Karate Society.
“How can you also allow students to behave so recklessly?
You say to stop at contact, but if they lose control of their tempers, no one will be able to manage the situation,” the Vice Principal felt as if a rat was gnawing at his heart.
“I will tell you once again very seriously; this is an academic exchange.
There won’t be any excessive occurrences; please do not insult us.
We are all people with bottom lines,” Mr.
Yamamoto seemed quite angry and pressed the matter insistently.
“Or is it that your school does not dare to accept the challenge?
If that’s the case, I can have my students back down.”
Provoked by such words, the Vice Principal’s brain seemed to swell with blood as he coldly said to the other party, “In that case, let us sign an agreement.
Whatever happens to your students during the exchange, our school will not take any responsibility.”
Mr.
Yamamoto shrugged indifferently and said, “I knew your school would say this.
I have already reviewed the agreement; if you find no issues after reading it, feel free to sign your name.”
The Vice Principal looked at the agreement that suddenly appeared in his hands and suddenly felt he had fallen into a trap.
Had the other party deliberately provoked their students, and their real goal was this competition?
If the opponent lost, they could claim it was just an academic exchange.
But if his own side lost, who knew how these kids might go back and embellish the story about Sunnan University?
For a moment, the Vice Principal was caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Heh, does your school lack even this much courage?
Students need to have continuous brainstorming to learn.
Martial Arts are no different.
By integrating the strengths of various schools, one can reach the pinnacle.
If one is always timid, there will certainly be no great prospects.”
“Here,” said the Vice Principal, no longer caring about the details; he quickly signed the agreement with a pen and handed it to Mr.
Yamamoto.
“Friendship first, competition second.
During this trip to Huaxia, I believe you have all learned a lot.
Now it is time for you to shine.
An exchange is not only about learning something for yourself but also to ensure that the other party learns as well.
This is an excellent opportunity,” Mr.
Yamamoto said to the RB exchange students.
“Yes, we will heed your teachings, teacher,” four RB students bowed in unison and shouted to Mr.
Yamamoto.
“It seems that this fight is going to be to the bitter end,” Song Yun said, claiming that he wouldn’t drink this bottle, but his body was very honest.
“Seeing how indignant those kids are, it’s clear that this matter won’t end simply.
I’m afraid the Karate Society is going to suffer a big loss.”
“Why?
Although our society is of an average size, Dong Chen is said to be the champion of Sunnan’s karate competition and is very skilled,” said Li Yueyue, puzzled.
“Because RB is the birthplace of karate.
Those kids learned a lot from us in Huaxia, including some methods of combat.
After returning home, they developed their own system; Extreme Vacuum Karate.
Looking at those four kids, tall and broad, with arms like apes and legs like elephants, they are definitely people who have been practicing these fighting techniques for years.”
“So you mean Dong Chen and the others are doomed,” exclaimed Li Yueyue, covering her mouth in shock.
“Yes, and not just in terms of saving face.
Physically, they can expect to be hit hard.
Those kids look ferocious, as if they can’t wait to devour them.
From the looks of it, those participating in the fight are likely to be injured,” Song Yun said with narrowed eyes.
The competition began quickly, and the teacher from Sanben, serving as the referee, stood in the middle and said, “I hope everyone can perform at their best and bring glory to their styles.”
After he finished speaking, Dong Chen, as the main force of the Karate Society, was the first to enter the battle, and the opponent also stepped forward.
After looking at Dong Chen, he said, “You are strong, but I am stronger.”
These words were akin to a slap in the face.
Dong Chen clenched his teeth and looked at his opponent, saying, “Don’t worry, it’s definitely going to be you lying on the ground.”
After bowing to each other, Dong Chen took the initiative with a punch toward the opponent’s chest.
Watching the kid dodge this attack and then immediately follow up with a front kick, hand chop, and side kick, a series of combination moves were tightly linked together.
“Is that all you’ve got?” the kid said with contempt as he dodged an ever-increasing pace of attacks from Dong Chen while still being able to counterattack accurately.
But Dong Chen, a champion, slowly adjusted his condition.
His feet became swift and agile, and the upper body kept swaying to probe the opponent, watching as the kid dodged one attack after another.
Dong Chen knew he had to make a quick move; otherwise, it would be a blow to the morale.
Considering the mixed level of skills among his society’s members, they were most likely to lose against these kids.
Therefore, he had to inspire his people through morale.
Thinking this, Dong Chen dashed forward, then stepped up, leaping into the air to deliver a descending kick.
If this kick landed, it would certainly keep the kid down for a while.
The idea was good, but the kid seemed to have been waiting for this moment all along.
As Dong Chen leaped, the kid’s eyes glinted sharply.
Standing on one foot and sweeping 360 degrees, his other foot lashed out in a fierce back spinning sidekick, hitting Dong Chen in the stomach.
Song Yun shook his head in resignation.
Dong Chen was too hasty.
If he had fought steadily, he would have certainly won in the end, but his eagerness for quick success led to countless openings.
