Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

Kakogawa’s face, which had been smiling so far, turned serious.

He must have realized that the shock he received on his torso was not a fluke.

「Kote! Meeennnn!」

Two quick strikes in succession.

The first strike, a kote, was deflected by me by moving the shinai a little to the left and the second, a leap strike, was evaded with a sidestep.

「Wha!?」

Kakogawa was surprised that his blow was evaded and turned around to me.

On the battlefield, that one moment can be fatal.

I lowered my stance and hit Kakogawa with a kote.

—boom!

「Ah, kote!」

I was supposed to say that out loud.

「I-ippon!」

The referee’s flag went up.

「Kakogawa-kun, hang in there!」

「Don’t let him beat you–!」

「You went easy on him.
You’re so kind」

The girls’ cheering was terrible.

I’m human too, you know?

-0-

I glanced at Yui and she gave me a thumbs up and a smile.

That smile is enough for me.

Kakogawa, on the other hand, gritted his teeth as he stared at me.

This feels great.

I had a feeling that I wanted to play with him more but I wouldn’t really want to if he continued to make trouble for me later.

Let’s just win this fast.

「Start!」

—booommm!

「Men!!」

Okay, this time I was able to say my move as I strike at the same time.

It’s a little embarrassing but I forced myself to say it out loud.

「Ippon!」

The referee’s voice echoed through the silent gymnasium.

Then, Yui, who had a satisfied smile on her face, applauded.

A little later, my fellow otaku, Satou, clapped his hands.

「W-what was that?」

「A fluke….or something.」

「Oi oi, Kakogawa’s eyes are white.」

「Sensei, I’m going to take him to the infirmary.」

「Ah, I’ll take care of that!」

「No, it should be me! I’m a member of the health committee for this very moment so so leave him to me!」

The last girl was a rotten one, right?

The PE teacher came over to me despite the fuss of everyone around.

Did I go too far?

Is he angry?

「Oi Nanba! Why don’t you join the kendo club! Even if you only learn the basics now, you’ll be a regular!」

The gym teacher, who had never spoken to me before aside from cursing me, drilled his palm into my hand.

So, that means this guy is the adviser of the kendo club, right?

He’s walking down the hallway with a shinai during regular exams.

Now…not really, I mean in the 2020s, you’re going to be in trouble if you do that.

「No, I’m not interested.」

「Don’t say that.
That strike! The step in was strange but even a master if iai can’t do that! You’re a genius!」

This teacher might have a good eye but given the situation, he should be a little more concerned of the knocked-out Kakogawa.

This teacher is a sports freak and I ended up not remembering his name until I graduated.

Even without the variant incident, I wouldn’t wish for any club with this guy as the advisor.
