Chapter 651: Chapter 7: One-Slash Instant Kill! Aoto vs. Sazanoko Pursuer Corps [7400]_2

That Tachibana Aoto, being able to seriously wound the Anti-foreigner Group single-handedly, is indeed impressive, but that’s just a "lone wolf defeating a flock of sheep"! He’s not so formidable that we are helpless against him!

This, then, was the genuine thought of the majority within the "Sazanoko Pursuer Corps."

Therefore, these people, who didn’t think Aoto was insurmountable, meticulously planned "how to teach Aoto a lesson."

They unanimously believed that beating up Aoto in public at the Little Chiba Sword Dojo, in the presence of Miss Sazanoko and Chiba Shigetarou, would achieve the greatest effect of teaching him a lesson and humiliating him!

The simplest way to achieve "teaching Aoto a lesson in public" was to issue a sparring invitation under the pretense of "swordsmanship exchange" in the dojo.

This is the Sword Dojo; requesting to spar with Aoto, who has made remarkable achievements with his Palm Sword, is reasonable.

To those adamant about teaching Aoto a harsh lesson, the ideal sparring method was, of course, a group fight. Everyone would join in to show this guy the stark difference between the swordsmen of Little Chiba Sword Dojo and the Anti-foreigner Group.

However... a group fight was definitely impossible.

Sparring under "many against one" is against the rules and would be obstructed by Chiba Shigetarou and others.

After thoughtful consideration and careful planning, these people finally decided on the plan: take turns! Subject Aoto to a wheel war!

One after another would challenge Aoto under the guise of "wanting to spar."

Under the successive challenges from these highly talented individuals of Little Chiba Sword Dojo, no matter how formidable this guy might be, he surely wouldn’t be able to withstand it—they thought optimistically.

As for whether Aoto would accept the challenges... they weren’t too worried.

If Aoto refused, they’d hurl insulting words at him, launching a "verbal assault" against Aoto.

Insulting and humiliating Aoto in full view of the public...this alone would serve their purpose of teaching Aoto a lesson.

With the plan set, the next step was to gather manpower.

There were plenty of people who didn’t like Aoto.

It didn’t take much effort for them to assemble as many as 28 comrades!

Among these 28, many were top experts from their Little Chiba Sword Dojo.

Seeing that they had gathered enough people, they started waiting patiently for the best opportunity to execute the plan.

Days passed...finally, they awaited today, the best opportunity to launch the plan!

Aoto was here; so were Miss Sazanoko and Chiba Shigetarou; 20 of the 28 comrades were present today; the experts they had gathered, like Kumai, Sakurai, and Hirose, were basically all here...there couldn’t be a better time than today!

The burly men and the sparse-haired ugly guy gathered to discuss here were actually the main organizers and leaders of this plan aiming to humiliate Aoto.

After a brief discussion earlier, they all resolved—today would be the day they show this shameless jerk, who keeps chatting with Miss Sazanoko, their strength!

However... things often developed unexpectedly.

How could they have anticipated this?

Much of the conversation bursting forth in their current discussion was overheard by Aoto, standing at a corridor corner not far away with a natural talent for augmented hearing: the "Wind Sensor," who happened to be passing by to use the restroom.

Although he hadn’t listened to their conversation from start to finish, based on a few sentences he overheard, Aoto roughly guessed who these people were.

"Admirers of Miss Sazanoko, huh..." Aoto, leaning against the corner of the corridor, raised his hand to touch the back of his neck.

His gaze lifted slightly, looking at the sky outside the nearby window.

With a thoughtful frown, he furrowed his brows slightly.

...

...

When Aoto returned to the B Area, it coincided with the break time of Chiba Shigetarou and the apprentices of the B Area.

In the dojo, Yamanaka Keisuke and others were either wiping sweat or drinking water.

Miss Sazanoko and Tadomaru Yorozu were still standing in their original place.

At this moment, Chiba Shigetarou had joined them.

The three siblings stood together in a pin shape, casually chatting about something.

Chiba Shigetarou was the first to notice Aoto’s return.

"Oh Oh! Mr. Tachibana, you’re back!" Chiba Shigetarou waved vigorously at Aoto.

Aoto smiled and greeted Chiba Shigetarou while naturally walking over to stand between Chiba Shigetarou and Miss Sazanoko.

Now with some time to spare, Chiba Shigetarou exchanges a few words of small talk with Aoto before changing the subject.

"Mr. Tachibana, how is your recovery?"

Lately, Chiba Shigetarou asked about Aoto’s health status whenever he met him.

"It has recovered well, completely healed. From 10 days ago, I resumed my regular physical exercises and swordsmanship practice."

"Hahaha, that’s great!" Chiba Shigetarou laughed heartily a few times, "If you couldn’t participate in the Red and White Battle against Xuanwu Hall 8 days later because your body hadn’t fully recovered, that would have been a shame."

Speaking of this, Chiba Shigetarou put his hands on his hips, glanced at Aoto, then looked at Tadomaru Yorozu opposite, and grinned.

"Shiwei Hall against Xuanwu Hall...both sides have people who are very important to me, so when the match starts in 8 days, I won’t even know who to cheer for, hahahaha."
