Although the match at the kendo dojo ended in an instant, it did not mean that the aftershocks had subsided. Just like a small stone thrown into water, it may sink to the bottom quickly, but the ripples will spread out layer by layer.

The news agency truly lives up to its reputation as an elite reserve group of paparazzi. Their editing skills are unparalleled. They managed to turn a mere one-second shot (which was barely visible) into a ten-minute clip, showcasing the brilliance of the event in various ways.

The video begins with the entrance ceremony... The first person to appear is Gu Hanzhou, the president of the Kendo Club and the initiator of this duel. His handsome, domineering, and charismatic entrance made many men in front of their computer screens admire him and many women swoon. At the same time, some people didn't quite understand why such an outstanding person was so easily defeated by Teacher Duanmu in the general public opinion of the school.

Then, when Teacher Duanmu appeared... Holy crap... everyone instantly understood...

The black kendo uniform paired with a crimson scabbard, and the occasional glimpse of light-colored wooden clogs beneath his hakama as he moved, made him look like a priestess guarding a deity at an Edo-era shrine. Add to that his elegantly sculpted figure, striking features, and indescribable aura… President Gu was utterly captivated, tears streaming down his face…

The camera slowly zooms in on the lakeside, showing Teacher Duanmu, whose clothes flutter in the wind, stepping onto the winding wooden bridge toward the dojo. His thin back fills the audience's eyes. He is just going to keep his appointment for a match, but he looks like a warrior who has received a king's order and is determined to die.

Its sorrow is as poignant as autumn leaves.

Okay, all of the above is just the audience's misconception.

In fact, Duanmu Ci's glamorous appearance did indeed boost his fan base considerably. After all, in this appearance-obsessed era, in a sense, good looks equate to fan value...

The camera then switched to the kendo club, focusing on capturing the scene of Duanmu Ci standing with his sword at the entrance of the dojo, facing off against Gu Hanzhou, who was kneeling inside. Behind President Gu were a group of kendo club members, while behind Teacher Duanmu was a dazzling white light. The atmosphere reached a tense standoff, like two armies locked in battle, with swords drawn and dark clouds looming over the city, ready to erupt at any moment!

The viewers in front of the screen even became a little nervous.

When everyone saw the two kneeling facing each other, their lips moving, they couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, because they couldn't hear what they were saying at all. The exchange before a great battle should have been even more scathing than swords, and it was a real pity that they couldn't hear it. However, judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be very intense.

Although they didn't hear those words clearly, they heard Gu Hanzhou's shout very clearly, and everyone's hearts tightened—had it started?

Someone blinked nervously, and then... it was over?

Holy crap... what's going on?

Everyone quickly rewound the progress bar, accidentally dragging it too far before carefully adjusting it again, then staring wide-eyed... Holy crap! They still couldn't see it clearly this time!

Some people were starting to complain. Although it looked cool and impressive that Teacher Duanmu defeated his enemy in one move, the problem was that they weren't satisfied with what they saw! It felt like they hadn't even had a chance to see what happened before it was all over, which was really frustrating!

However, for professional journalists, this is no big deal at all!

They added a special slow-motion video below the main video to replay the sword strike, and there were even commentary subtitles edited by members of the Kendo Club below the video, making it look great and professional.

Suddenly, Teacher Duanmu changed from a kneeling position to kneeling on one knee. At the same time, his right hand quickly gripped the hilt of the sword. When he drew the sword, it was initially steady and slow, but it suddenly became faster in the middle. Just as the tip of the blade was about to leave the scabbard, it was as fast as lightning. He drew the sword with the method of "slow, break, and fast", which was as fast and poetic as cherry blossoms falling.

Then, when sheathing the blade, it was as smooth as flowing water, with a kind of freehand beauty.

Like a mirage, a fleeting dream, leaving no trace.

As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen just watch the show.

The vast majority of people who see this video are laymen. You can't expect them to concede to a professional perspective and appreciate the essence of Kendo and the subtlety of sword fighting techniques. They just intuitively feel that Teacher Duanmu's move is very powerful and directly feel that Teacher Duanmu's sword strike is very cool!

Likes, feel free to share.

Enthusiastic viewers left numerous comments below the video.

"I used to really like Senior Gu, but not anymore! Now I'm going to be a fan of Teacher Duanmu... By the way, why hasn't Teacher Duanmu started using **?"

"Upstairs +1. Teacher Duanmu is handsome from every angle, truly amazing!"

"Upstairs +2. Why doesn't Teacher Duanmu debut in the entertainment industry? Being a teacher... what a waste of that face..."

"Upstairs +3. Those mediocre actresses in the entertainment industry dare to compare themselves to Teacher Duanmu? Teacher Duanmu's swordsmanship is real skill!"

"Upstairs +4. Actually, Teacher Duanmu is not only cool when he's killing people, he's also super cool when he's lecturing! I secretly recorded a video!"

This comment went viral.

"May the poster have a peaceful and prosperous life. My email is ****. Thank you, poster! Thank you, poster!" This is sycophancy.

"Please!! ****, may good people have a peaceful life!!!" This is just playing the victim.

"Same here... If the original poster doesn't post this, may their whole family die!! ****, you decide what to do!!!" This one is pretty aggressive.

"The original poster is awesome! Could you share something just for a little while...? Just a little bit~~~~****, thank you!" (Acting cute is shameful...)

"..."

However, there's always someone stronger, and this comment wasn't the most popular—

"Upstairs +5, does anyone know Professor Duanmu's office? I want to send him a love letter!!!"

"503, keep it up, OP."

"503, School of Arts Building, the poster is asking for attention."

"The answers have already been given above; I just want the original poster to post a picture!!"

"You bitch!! Teacher Duanmu is mine!! What right do you have to take him from me?!"

"I want to send one too!!"

"..."

The forum is still going strong...

...

...

However, Duanmu Ci was unaware of all this...

He went to class as usual the next day, but when he walked into the office, he suddenly found a stack of colorful envelopes on his desk...

Chu Xinsu winked and said with an ambiguous expression, "They were all sent by female students. Teacher Duanmu, take a good look."

"Ahem." Duanmu Ci, a teacher by profession, coughed lightly twice and calmly opened one of the letters—

After reading only the first few lines, Duanmu Ci put the letter aside, looking somewhat embarrassed. He didn't intend to read the other letters either, since he knew without even thinking what they contained—probably something similar to this one.

Chu Xinsu sighed enviously, "Teacher Duanmu, keep up the good work!"

Su Wuyu snorted, "Scoundrel!"

He then covered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
