Chapter 13 Exercises

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the warm spring sun was not cold.

Next to the central pool of Yuefeng High School, there was only one boy standing awkwardly. His inner uneasiness could be seen from the way he scratched his head from time to time.

This is a cool place, with few people passing by at this time, and it is also a good place to confess.

"Um, Kawahao... I like you, please allow me to date you!"

The boy finally plucked up the courage and bowed sincerely, staring directly at the cement floor with trembling eyes, not daring to look at the girl in front of him.

It was eerily quiet all around, not even the wind was heard.

The boy didn't dare to get up. He was anxiously waiting for the answer. He just kept bowing. He didn't feel tired, but he felt that the time was so long.

"I'm sorry, Ryosuke."

A faint sigh echoed in the deserted central pool.

Ripples appeared on the calm water surface.

When Ryosuke raised his head, there was only a lonely cherry tree in front of him, and the lonely branches were just like his heart at this time.

Ryousuke couldn't help but touch the blue hair and smiled bitterly.

Suddenly I felt that I shouldn't shave my hair too short because it would be a bit cold.



Kashiwara took the train from Aizumi Station during a crowded commute.

"Well, Kashiwahara boy, was everything okay last night?"

The uncle of the ramen shop nearby poked his head out and saw the young man standing at the door of the dojo, and asked hesitantly:

"If you need it, I'll call the police..."

"It's okay." Kashiwahara smiled slightly, there was nothing to worry about at this moment.

The eldest lady Chizuru Asaba generously paid off the debts of the Kashiwahara family. At this time, only the threat of the Hanada group remained.

Eighty million is not a small amount of money, right? With the profits rolling in, and five members of the Hanada group died tragically in front of the dojo, I think the Hanada group will not let it go, Kashiwahara thought to himself.

Standing under the ancient tree of unknown age in the dojo, with a thought in my mind, Jinghong quietly appeared on my waist.

To be honest, real swords and wooden swords and bamboo swords are definitely two completely different things.

Even if you are used to using wooden swords and bamboo swords, it will take a long time to get used to and practice before mastering a real sword.

Although the skill points improved his swordsmanship to LV4, Kashiwahara always felt awkward.

It still requires more daily practice.

No matter how dilapidated the dojo is, there are still kendo uniforms. Kashiwahara wears a white kendo jacket, a gray hakama on his lower body, a scabbard on his waist, and a calm gaze.

Swordsmanship is different from kendo. Swordsmanship is the art of killing. Each sword strives to be simple and powerful, and one blow is fatal. Kendo is a competitive sport, wearing armor and protective gear, and using bamboo swords to score points.

In swordsmanship, there are five basic formations. The role of the formation is similar to the posture at the beginning of the battle, which is conducive to the subsequent defense and offense, and they remain the same. Even if Kashiwahara obtains LV4 swordsmanship at this moment, he still needs to

Practice more.

The five types of construction sections are called the Five Elements Construction, corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, upper section, middle section, lower section, shade structure, oblique structure, and more sections include torii structure, heart structure, Xiaoxia,

Daxia, Shuxia, etc.

There are many schools of ancient swordsmanship, and different stances can be developed from these basic sections. For example, in some schools, the middle section of the sword has evolved into a different "blue eye", which is very similar to the middle section, but has subtle differences.

Kashiwahara stood, the moment his right hand touched the handle of the sword, he turned his wrist and clasped it tightly. With his left thumb, he pushed the tango, which is the handle of the sword. He stepped forward with his right foot, pulled out Jinghong, and struck with a Tangzhu slash in the air.

Slashing requires a knife path, which means that the direction of the sword is consistent with the direction of movement, so that it can effectively cause damage to the enemy. To judge how to carry out an effective slashing, you only need to listen.

For example, there is a blood groove on the blade of Jinghong Sword, which can bleed into the enemy's body and accelerate death. Kashiwahara slashes a few times to produce a rustling sound, which is an effective slash.

Kashiwahara thought, when he slashed with his right hand, it seemed like he was throwing the sword out, but his left hand seemed to be holding the sword, which caused a pulling damage.

Another example is to slightly buckle the left toe in, raise the right foot, quickly step forward and put it down, quickly retract the upper section after slashing, and use a mid-section posture to alert the surroundings.

This is a move called "Zanshin" in swordsmanship. After slashing with vigilance, you are not sure whether there are enemies around you, so you must leave some room to defend yourself with the middle part of the defense. Then, Jinghong volleyed.

Throw it away, making an action of shaking the blood droplets, and finally draw the knife back.

A complete swordsmanship is completed by drawing the sword, cutting, breaking the heart, shaking the blood, and drawing the sword. There are countless details that need to be paid attention to in practice.

What’s interesting is that the ‘Na Dao’ in swordsmanship

Because in ancient times, dangers abounded, and it was impossible to lower one's head and insert the sword when sheathing it. The samurai needed to look ahead and be vigilant about their surroundings, and insert the long sword into the scabbard intuitively.

However, every samurai's intuition is so accurate. What to do if it cuts into his hand? Isn't it ridiculous?

No, in fact, the left hand is holding the mouth of the scabbard, the right hand is pressing the back of the sword against the tiger's mouth of the left hand, and after confirming the position, the sword is inserted smoothly, so that the sword can be received accurately and alert to all directions.

However, Bai Yuan has a reverse blade in his hand.

The back of the sword in the front blade was an extremely sharp blade on Jinghong, so several bright red marks appeared on the tiger's mouth of Kashiwahara's left hand, which made him frown.

In the silent courtyard, there was only the sound of Jinghong's continuous slashes and the sound of breaking wind in the air.

Sweat dripped off, and about two hours later, Kashiwahara put away the knife, took a shower, and changed back into casual clothes.

I couldn't help but frown. It seemed that because of my recent growth, the clothes I wore the year before last seemed uncomfortable and were a little too small.

The original owner was extremely poor before, but now he has some spare money and plans to buy some clothes.

But you don't have to worry about it when you go to school, as you wear student uniforms and shirts.

Pushing open the door of the dojo, Kashiwara naturally pushed open the curtain of the ramen shop next door, surprising the uncle.

This kid always only comes through the back door.

"Uncle, have a bowl of ramen and remember to add five portions of barbecued pork."

Kashiwahara Kiyaki grinned, sat casually in a corner of the store, and glanced lightly.

The two men in flowery shirts looked at each other, put down their bowls and chopsticks awkwardly, and left in a hurry.

"I said, have you paid?"

Kashiwahara yelled in displeasure. He was obviously just a young student, but he made two fierce-looking Yakuza members panic.

"..."

Snap.

The two members of the Hanada group hurriedly threw a few banknotes on the table and fled without looking back, as if there were evil spirits behind them.

"You guys are doing well lately."

The uncle put a portion of luxurious ramen in front of Kashiwahara’s table with a weird look on his face, and was very surprised:

"What happened in the past two days? These bastards in the Hanada group feel like they have seen a ghost when they see you." The bald man in a dark apron said with emotion.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly mastered swordsmanship." Kashiwahara said with a smile, the aroma of ramen filled the nostrils from the table, and sighed:

"In such a long time, the number of times I've come to my uncle's place to eat ramen can only be counted on my hands!"

The uncle shook his head. In the past, Kashiwahara was so miserable that he hid in hiding for fear of being caught by the Hanada team. Even if he wanted to eat, he would not go to the ramen shop next door.
