Let's see whose theory holds up better on this topic!
As she spoke, a fierce fighting spirit shone in Hoshino Saori's clear black and white eyes.
As a self-proclaimed "philosopher," she thoroughly enjoys this clash and exchange of ideas.
In her view, weren't Nietzsche, Hegel, and other famous philosophical thinkers trying to influence others with their own ideas and prove the correctness of their path?
Qingze smiled, readily agreed, and sat down opposite her, saying, "Alright, let's have a good debate today."
Saori Hoshino immediately took the lead in presenting her core argument against violence.
Beside her, Yatohime leaned against the wall, scrolling through short videos on her phone with one hand, listening to the debate between the two in a half-hearted manner without offering any opinion.
In discussions like this, which are full of philosophical speculation, her intuitive feeling is that both sides seem to make sense.
This "fence-sitter" attitude clearly makes her unsuitable to be a referee, so she chooses to be a silent listener.
A short while later, a series of knocks sounded from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a lively female voice came through the door: "Good afternoon, my name is Tanaka Satomi, I have something I'd like to ask the philosophy club!"
Before the words were even finished, the door was pushed open.
Appearing at the door was a girl wearing the same school uniform, with neat, ear-length short hair. Her face wasn't particularly striking, but her wheat-colored skin and bright eyes gave her an aura of sunny and healthy vitality.
Qingze turned his head and his gaze was instantly drawn to the clear blue tag on her head.
[The Silly Knight]
Is he even labeled as "idiot" in the fantasy world?
Satomi Tanaka, you're truly a teacher's nemesis...
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Hoshino Saori blinked blankly, then asked in confusion, "Is there something you need?"
“It’s actually like this!”
Tanaka Satomi immediately began to explain, speaking very quickly, "Our school's kendo club is about to be disbanded due to insufficient members."
I'd like to take this opportunity to apply to establish a karate club, as I need their space.
However, Hori Mio, the captain of the kendo club, declared that only by defeating her in kendo could they obtain the venue.
I...I can't beat her!
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Perfect timing! I heard people in the basketball club saying that if you have any difficulties, you can try contacting the philosophy club."
Yato, aren't you the super strong fighting leader?
"Please, please step in and defeat Hori Mio!"
These words left both Yatohime and Hoshino Saori with big question marks on their faces.
Aozawa explained to the two at the right moment: "I asked Mr. Yoshioka to ask the students in the basketball club to help promote the philosophy club."
I think that since we are a philosophy club, how can we gain a deeper understanding and contemplate the complexities of human nature if we don't interact and communicate more with other students?
"Oh I got it."
Saori Hoshino nodded in sudden realization.
Yato-hime glanced at Tanaka Satomi and said indifferently, "I have no interest in doing this kind of thing for you."
"Hey?! Don't be so cold and heartless!"
Tanaka Satomi immediately took off her shoes, and barefoot, she stomped on the solid wood floor. She rushed to Yato-hime, clasped her hands together, and pleaded desperately, "Establishing the karate club is an important matter concerning my lifelong dream."
Please, please help me!
"A lifelong dream?"
Hoshino Saori's curiosity was piqued by her exaggerated statement, and she pressed for more information: "Does this have any special meaning?"
Satomi Tanaka immediately straightened her back, her face showing an extremely serious expression, and announced, "I want to see how dashing my favorite girl looks when she wears a karate tutu."
I still want to be with her in the dojo at sunset, sweating and training together!
This unexpected reason stunned Yatohime.
Saori Hoshino's eyes lit up instantly.
In the unique environment of an all-girls school, it is not surprising that there are girls with this tendency.
But it was her first time encountering it, and she was filled with curiosity, unlike some boys who might feel fear or repulsion.
After all, "border friction" and "territorial invasion" are completely different in severity.
"You like girls?"
"That's right, I have a girl I love!"
Satomi Tanaka clenched her fists and admitted it without hesitation, even with a hint of pride on her face.
The next second, she suddenly made a surprising move.
He knelt directly on the hard solid wood floor, facing Yato-hime, and performed a standard "dogeza" (a deep bowing gesture), his forehead hitting the floor with a "thud," and shouted, "I'm begging you, Yato."
"I'll do anything if you help me defeat Hori Mio, the captain of the kendo club!"
"Boom! Boom!"
She kowtowed twice more, the crisp sound of her forehead hitting the floor being particularly clear in the quiet activity room.
When she looked up and saw the obvious redness and swelling on her forehead, Yatohime's originally indifferent expression changed slightly.
She has always admired people with strong initiative.
My initial reluctance to get involved changed at this moment.
"Okay."
Yato-hime changed her mind and said, "Since you're so prepared, I'll help you this once."
"Really?! Thank you so much!"
Satomi Tanaka's face instantly lit up with an incredibly excited and grateful smile.
The scene I've been fantasizing about since junior high school finally came true in high school!
……
According to the club management regulations of Nagato High School, a club must have at least four members in order to apply for and use a dedicated activity room in the name of the club.
If the number of members is less than four, the club will face the fate of being "disbanded".
The Philosophy Club exists purely because Saori Hoshino has a powerful family background.
Her father is a key member of the school's board of directors.
Even Chizuru Tsukishima wasn't too strict with this young lady, so the student council naturally gave her the green light even more.
However, other students without such backgrounds must strictly abide by the rules.
The kendo club is such an example.
At this moment, in the Kendo Club's activity area, Captain Hori Mio, fully armed and dressed in traditional Kendo uniform and protective gear, is kneeling in the center of the area.
Her bamboo knife was placed beside her.
Because of her extremely strict requirements for the club members, which were almost like a rigorous training journey, the girls in the kendo club could not bear the burden and chose to leave the club one after another.
But Hori Mio didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.
In her view, Kendo is not a simple sport, but a "way" that requires complete dedication.
If one does not truly love and revere kendo, one is not qualified to wield a bamboo sword.
Her eyes were downcast, lost in her own world.
At that moment, the wooden sliding door of the kendo club was pushed open with a "whoosh".
Hearing the noise, Hori Mio looked up, and after seeing who it was, she frowned slightly and said, "Tanaka, you are no match for me, what are you doing here?"
"Haha! This time it's different!"
With her hands on her hips, Tanaka Satomi looked confident and said, "I've brought in the strongest reinforcements! This kendo club area is mine!"
As she spoke, she stepped aside to make room for her and said loudly, "Yato, I'm counting on you from now on!"
Yatohime slowly walked into the kendo dojo from behind her.
Hori Mio's gaze immediately fell on her: her striking long blonde hair, her fingers painted with bright red nail polish, the stylish necklace around her neck, and the colorful star-shaped sequins under her right eye...
From head to toe, she exuded a dazzling aura that seemed completely out of place in the serious atmosphere of the kendo dojo.
"A delinquent girl?"
Hori Mio stood up, her voice tinged with disdain, "Too bad, I would never lose to someone like you."
Yatohime revealed a highly aggressive smile and said, "That's hard to say."
Chapter 51 Tanaka’s Dream Broken
The strong smell of gunpowder instantly filled the kendo club's activity room.
Hoshino Saori followed closely behind into the dojo, her gaze sweeping ahead as she was secretly surprised.
The captain of the kendo club is exceptionally tall, estimated to be about 1.76 meters.
She wore a dark blue traditional kendo uniform underneath and a full set of kendo armor on top. Standing solemnly in the center of the arena, she exuded an aura of unapproachable grandeur reminiscent of a swordsman from the Edo period.
"Really."
Hori Mio's voice came through the face shield, sounding somewhat muffled, "Then go and choose a kendo uniform and protective gear that fits you well."
Since you're an amateur, I won't impose any rules on Kendo.
"If your bamboo sword can hit me even once, you win."
"I don't need to wear protective gear."
Yato-hime strode forward, casually bent down to pick up an unused bamboo sword from the ground, easily slung it over her shoulder, and even tapped her shoulder lightly with the blade, her posture nonchalant and unrestrained.
"Anyway, you won't be able to touch me at all."
