Chapter 5: Competition
Who is this?
Just when Busujima Saeko was about to leave the gymnasium out of disappointment, her eyes inadvertently fell on Lin Yi next to Miyamoto Rei.
When her eyes met Lin Yi's, Busujima Saeko's body suddenly tensed up, like a cheetah about to attack.
Her hands unconsciously clenched around the white oak hilt at her waist.
As the heir of the Busujima family, Busujima Saeko possesses a unique intuition. She can feel the unusual aura emanating from Lin Yi, which is an unfathomable signal of danger.
Miyamoto Rei did not notice the subtle change in Busujima Saeko's expression. She introduced her with a smile: "This is Lin Yi, he is an exchange student from China."
After learning about Lin Yi's background, a meaningful smile appeared on Busujima Saeko's face.
She turned lightly and walked to the weapon rack at the side of the field, carefully selecting a wooden sword from it.
Then, with a swift and stealthy movement, she threw the wooden sword towards Lin Yi.
The wooden sword streaked through the air like a meteor, drawing an elegant arc and heading straight towards Lin Yi.
Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Yi remained unusually calm.
He didn't even look up to see the rapidly flying wooden sword. He just stretched out his right hand calmly and reached out casually in the air.
When everyone was worried that the wooden sword would miss the target, Lin Yi's right hand firmly grasped the handle of the sword.
At this moment, the air around seemed to freeze.
The audience exclaimed in amazement. Although they were not professional fighters, they all had a certain understanding and appreciation of fighting skills.
They were clearly aware that Lin Yi's seemingly easy grab just now actually required extremely high reaction speed and precise force control.
Such skills are absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
During this process, Busujima Saeko's opinion of Lin Yi also improved dramatically.
She realized that this exchange student from China was no ordinary person.
Looking at the excitement flashing in Busujima Saeko's eyes, Lin Yi knew in his heart that this confrontation seemed inevitable.
He nodded gently to Miyamoto Rei beside him, indicating that they could talk later.
Then he turned and walked calmly down the stairs of the auditorium towards the center of the competition venue.
Every step Lin Yi took seemed so confident and calm, as if such occasions were commonplace for him and he had already been fully prepared for the upcoming challenges.
The audience's eyes were focused on him, with emotions of curiosity and anticipation intertwined to create an indescribable tense atmosphere.

Compared with Miyamoto Rei, Busujima Saeko's fighting skills are obviously more outstanding, and it can almost be said that she has surpassed Miyamoto Rei by a level.
This is evident from their respective fighting techniques.
"Aren't you going to wear protective gear?" Busujima Saeko frowned slightly, with a hint of concern in her tone.
She was well aware of her own strength, and once she exerted her full strength, it would be easy for her to accidentally hurt her opponent.
In response to Busujima Saeko's concern, Lin Yi just shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not need any additional protection.
Lin Yi always pursues physical flexibility and agility in battle, and heavy protective gear would only be a burden to him.
In the past, when he challenged at various martial arts gyms, he was only dressed in light martial arts attire.
Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of wearing armor, Busujima Saeko took a deep breath, and her whole body tensed up instantly, like a bow about to be released, ready to strike.
Every cell in her body was preparing for the upcoming confrontation.
She spread her feet shoulder-width apart and took a slight step forward with her left foot, creating a fighting stance that was both stable and flexible.
This posture not only helps Busujima Saeko maintain her balance, but also allows her to react and adjust quickly when necessary.
At the same time, Busujima Saeko held the wooden sword tightly in both hands, with the blade hanging straight down at the side of her body, with the blade facing downward.
She held the base of the hilt with her left hand, while her right hand gripped the top of the handle, near the guard.
This way of holding the sword allows her to control the wooden sword as she wishes, whether it is slashing, stabbing or defending, she can do it with ease.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Busujima Saeko moved instantly, and her figure rushed towards Lin Yi like a cannonball.
The long knife in his hand cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, as if foreshadowing the impending danger.
Faced with this swift attack, Lin Yi remained unusually calm.
He tilted his head slightly and, with his amazing reaction speed, successfully dodged Busujima Saeko's fierce attack.
Then he turned his body and hit Busujima Saeko hard in the abdomen with a top elbow.
However, Busujima Saeko did not fall down.
She clenched her teeth, endured the pain, and the long knife in her hand drew a beautiful arc in the air.
With her strength, the power of this wooden sword is almost the same as that of a real sword.
Faced with this sudden counterattack, Lin Yi had no choice but to block it with a wooden sword in front of his chest.
When the audience saw this thrilling scene, they all exclaimed in surprise.
After Lin Yi successfully defended against Busujima Saeko's fierce attack, the latter took several steps back before she could barely stand.
She took several deep breaths, trying her best to relieve the pain in her abdomen.
At this moment, her face showed an unprecedented madness, and there was a strange smile at the corner of her mouth, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
At the same time, Busujima Saeko's temperament has undergone a drastic change. From her original image of a gentle and neighborly big sister, she instantly transformed into a Shura who seemed to have walked out of the abyss of hell, exuding a bloodthirsty and violent aura.
This sudden change shocked everyone present. They had never seen such a terrifying side of Busujima Saeko.
Faced with Busujima Saeko's drastic change, Lin Yi put away his previous relaxed attitude and his expression became extremely solemn.
He knew very well that although the previous attack seemed to have repelled Busujima Saeko, it actually did not cause any substantial harm to her.
The moment the attack touched Busujima Saeko's body, Lin Yi felt as if his own strength was dissolved by a soft yet tough force, just like hitting a piece of elastic rubber.
