Chiba Haomu did not stay in a coma for three to five days like Fang Yan had said. He woke up on the night of the accident.
He opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling with a dull expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chiba Haomu sat beside Chiba Haomu, her beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking. Her face was calm and she did not appear particularly happy because he had woken up.
Matsushima Ki and Saburo Fujino exchanged glances. Matsushima Ki then signaled Saburo with his eyes. Despite his reluctance, Saburo Fujino walked over to stand before Chiba Haomu and asked in a soft voice, "Student Chiba Haomu, do you feel better?"
Chiba Haomu did not answer, as if he did not hear his teacher.
Saburo Fujino turned to look at Matsushima Ki and continued, "If you feel any discomfort in your body, you must tell us immediately. We will find a doctor to check on you. "
Chiba Haomu still did not answer.
Saburo Fujino quickly walked to Matsushima Ki and whispered, "Principal, Chiba Haomu's condition is not optimistic … is there something wrong with his mind?"
"Give him some time," Matsushima Ki said. She glanced at Chiba Haomu and said, "Teacher Fujino, let's go out first."
"Okay," Saburo Fujino replied.
Matsushima Ki patted Chiba Haomu's shoulder and said, "I will leave Chiba Haomu to you."
Chiba Haomu stood up and bowed deeply to Matsushima Ki.
Matsushima Ki sighed and said, "Don't worry. We will take care of this. "
It was late at night and the corridor was empty. It was abnormally quiet.
Saburo Fujino closed the door and said angrily, "Principal, Rosefinch is too much of a bully. How can a teacher participate in a competition between students? It is one thing for a teacher to participate, but he also beat up a student. We must seek justice for Chiba Haomu … Otherwise, Wuren Senior High School's reputation will be tarnished. How can we face our peers at Wuren Senior High School? "
"Okay." Matsushima Ki nodded. "Then, Teacher Fujino will seek justice for Wu Ren."
"Principal Matsushima Ki …" Saburo Fujino looked embarrassed. He was just an ordinary teacher in the delegation. He was not on the same level as Rosefinch Secondary. Only Matsushima Ki, the leader of the delegation, was qualified to negotiate with Rosefinch on behalf of Wu Ren. If he stepped forward, he would not have a legitimate reason to do so, and Rosefinch would not take him seriously.
Matsushima Ki was in a bad mood. He also knew that it wasn't the time to be angry with his subordinates, so he explained, "I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome."
"What's so troublesome about it?" Saburo Fujino was unconvinced. However, the tone of his voice was clearly much lower. "Fang Yan is Vermilion Bird's teacher. He severely injured Wu Ren's student in front of so many people … That's right, we'll let Qianye Haowu lie on the bed. We will not leave until they give us an apology, a satisfactory answer, and compensation sufficient to make up for our physical and emotional wounds. If it really doesn't work, we can make things worse. I want to see if they can withstand the pressure from society and the international community. "
"It would be good if things were that simple." Matsushima Ki shook his head. "Chiba Haowu violated the rules first, stabbing us in the back … they have something to use against us. That teacher surnamed Fang is too cunning. I fear that they are the ones who will not let this matter rest. "
"Principal, you mean to say … not only will they not admit their mistake, they will also cause trouble for us?"
"Based on your understanding of them, what do you think?" Matsushima Ki asked.
Saburo Fujino thought back to how he had interacted with Fang Yan and nodded with certainty. "They will definitely do that. However, none of their team members were injured. What reason would they use to cause trouble for us? Some of our team members were injured. That is a fact that everyone knows. "
"How do you know that none of their team members were injured?"
"Chiba Haowu did not stab him at all. He was standing there perfectly fine …"
"But he also fainted on the spot …"
"That was a trick …" Saburo Fujino was unable to continue. If they can trick, why can't Rosefinch do the same?
Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that Rosefinch is cheating?
"Let's reconcile," Matsushima Ki said. "Find a way to reconcile."
"What a humiliation." Saburo Fujino felt his chest aching again. Ever since they had inadvertently walked into Fang Yan's Class 9, his chest had been aching ever since.
"I think the most humiliating thing is yet to come," Matsushima Ki said in a heavy tone. "If we only lost our dignity, it would be a fortunate thing for us now."
"… …"
…
…
Chiba Haowu knew that Principal Matsushima Ki and Saburo Fujino were still standing in the corridor outside. Chiba Haowu's impulsive action had pushed the Wuren inspection team into a very unfavorable situation. They were probably having a headache over how to deal with the aftermath.
She did not deliberately listen to the conversation outside. She looked at Chiba Haowu's dry lips and said, "You need to drink some water."
Chiba Haowu did not respond.
Chiba Haowu did not need his answer. She walked over and poured a cup of water for him. Then, she used a spoon to feed him.
Chiba Haowu only swallowed. There was no expression on his face.
"What do you want?" Chiba Haowu asked softly. "Is it just victory?"
"… …"
"If father knew what you did, he would definitely feel ashamed of your actions," Chiba Haowu said.
Chiba Haowu finally reacted. A flash of sadness flashed across his eyes. Then, it was replaced by anger.
He pointed at the door of the ward and said, "Get out."
Chiba Haowu did not go out.
She scooped another spoonful of water and fed it to Chiba Haowu. Then, she said, "Since you were young, the person you admired the most was father. Although you've never said it, I can see it in your eyes. "
You have talent and you work harder than anyone else … you want to catch up to him and even surpass him. No one will doubt this, even I firmly believe this … You will definitely be able to do it. You will become a better swordsman than father. "
"I don't understand swords. I only understand tea. However, I believe that everything in this world is connected. If you don't wash your hands clean, then the tea you brew will definitely have a strange smell. It's the same with swordsmanship … If you don't wash your heart clean, then your swordsmanship will no longer be pure. "
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Chiba Haowu sneered. "Teaching your failed brother a lesson? Tell him how much of a failure he is? "
"Some people can never reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in their entire lives. Why? Because he is impatient for success. It's just like brewing tea. If the water isn't boiling, the tea will be green. If it's boiling for too long, the tea will be astringent. Little brother, I just want to tell you not to do inappropriate things at inappropriate times. "
"You don't understand a swordsman's pursuit of the highest swordsmanship. You don't understand a swordsman's thirst for victory, "Chiba Haowu said fiercely. "You won't understand."
"I understand. How can I not understand? "Chiba Haowu's voice was gentle and soft as if she would never be anxious. "I also want to brew the best tea in the world. I also want to win … Who likes the feeling of failure? But I'm willing to wait. I believe that I can do it, and one day I will. So, I don't mind giving myself more time. "
"What I'm pursuing is different from what you're pursuing," Chiba Haowu said. "What I want is to win every match. I won't allow myself to fail. "
"But you still lost …" Chiba Haowu said. "You should know that there's still a gap between you and your opponent. Even that swordsman named Tangcheng can't compare to you in terms of composure and magnanimity, let alone that teacher who stopped you. "
Chiba Haowu closed his eyes in pain.
Fang Yan, that demon-like existence.
He was like a giant with infinite strength, while Chiba Haowu was only a short and ugly dwarf. He was completely powerless before him.
"Why?" Chiba Haowu clenched the bedsheet tightly. Because he used too much force, the plain white bedsheet was twisted out of shape, and he tore a few holes in it. "Why can he do it? Why can he do it? "
He really couldn't understand. Fang Yan didn't look much older than him. Why was he able to have such skills?
Could it be that Japanese swordsmen really couldn't compare to Hua Xia swordsmen? Or could it be that because Hua Xia was the origin of martial arts, any random swordsman from Hua Xia was an unbeatable monster?
Chiba Haowu came from a famous kendo family, and was also a top-notch expert in the surrounding circle. Everyone who saw him was not stingy with their compliments. Everyone who fought with him said that his swordsmanship was amazing. Other than his father, who did not praise him, everyone said that his future was limitless … He was proud, but he was also impatient.
He knew that his father didn't praise him because he wasn't good enough.
He wanted to conquer everyone, including his father.
During this trip to Hua Xia, he first met Tangcheng, a well-matched opponent, and then he met Fang Yan, a superhuman teacher … In the same class, there were already two people who could defeat him. Then, how many experts did Hua Xia have?
When he thought of the answer to this question, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Chiba Haowu gently stroked Chiba Haowu's tightly furrowed brows, trying to calm them down a little. She said, "If you have too many things on your mind, your hand that holds the sword will become heavier … Let go of your burdens and become a true swordsman. Win everyone's respect like your father. "
"I don't care if I win people's respect …" Chiba Haowu clutched his aching chest and said, "I must defeat him. Only then can I wash away the humiliation I received today."
