On the second floor of the Swordsman Association, I walked past the conference hall with messy personal items, which didn't look like a conference hall. There was a kendo room dedicated to the swordsman's trial and discussion. However, this kendo room is not something that can be used for trial and discussion. This is a place worth recording in the Swordsman Association's database. The top swordsman will only be opened when the top swordsman is discussing.

On the ground on one side, four years ago, Yanagi and Lingkong used a sword, and the sword marks slashed out were still left on the floor. However, on the edge of the sword mark, it has now been inlaid with a layer of silver-white metal covering the edge, making the sword mark even more shocking, and also protecting the floor to prevent the floor from cracking further.

Today, the room was opened again.

"Ojima-kun, please!" Today, Chief Sasaki Masahei rarely put away his hippie smiley expression and said seriously.

This battle was proposed by Sasaki Masahira.

Now Sasaki Shinhei has an old look on his face. Four years have passed. Now he is in his early seventies. Even if he has practiced the secret method of Taoism health preservation, his body has begun to decline in recent years. Maybe others can't see it, but Sasaki Shinhei himself knows that he is no longer suitable for holding a sword.

Four years ago, Sasaki Masahei planned to retire, but Ai Oshima, the second place in the Sword Master Club, left the Sword Master Club desperately in order to pursue the realm of the Sword Master.

Immediately afterwards, the young sword saint Yayoi Moto-he emerged from the sky, overwhelmed for a while, known as the "Sword Saint of the East". Sasaki Masahei thought he could finally deliver the burden.

As a result, the willful young sword saint not only did not want to take over, but instead went to Chiqi to study. In the past four years, he has appeared in the Sword Hero Society for only a few times. Such a person cannot hand over the Sword Hero Society for inheritance.

Fortunately, now there is a more ideal heir, Hye Oshima, is back.

Four years ago, Oshima Hui was the second seat of the Swordsman Association. In terms of record, personal reputation and management ability, she was much more suitable than that unemployed brat.

However, it is still necessary to fight today. Although the chief of the Swordsman Association does not necessarily require the first place in the Swordsman Association in Jiandao, as a swordsman who is about to take over as the chief of the Swordsman Association, he must also prove his abilities to everyone. Moreover, this is also one of the rituals inherited by the Swordsman Association.

"Senior Sasaki, please ask first!" Oshima Hui bowed slightly and said calmly.

Today, Oshima Hui is wearing a black kendo suit with many pink cherry blossom petals, and has a single ponytail on the back of her head for the first time. With her face that is more than 10 years younger, it is completely different from her previous image.

"Hirota, do you know what's going on? Why did Mr. Oshima become so young? It's like a different person?"

Nakajima, who was sitting on Hirota Kazuko's left, looked at the two people on the field and asked in a low voice.

Kazuko Hirota is now one of the official members of the Swordsman Association and is qualified to sit in the front row to watch the game.

Around them, all members of the Swordsman Association attended the scene to witness the trial cooperation between the two chiefs who were about to change the old and new.

"I don't know either, but the teacher's current changes should be related to the teacher's cure by Yagyu-kun this time.

Moreover, the teacher seemed a little strange after recovering from his health. He often stood in the yard these days, staring at the sky in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking." Hirota Kazuko replied in a low voice.

"Do you think Teacher Oshima can defeat Chief Sasaki this time?" Everyone in the Swordsman Association knows clearly what Sasaki Masahei thought about being ready to retire over the years.

"It's definitely no problem. The current teacher has completely surpassed the realm of a swordsman. Although Chief Sasaki is very strong, he is no longer a swordsman of the same level than the current teacher."

Kazuko Hirota said affirmatively that although she had never seen Oshima Hui swing a sword these days, there was an invisible sense of oppression around the teacher who had entered the realm of swordsmanship that the current teacher had truly entered an unpredictable state.

"Ojima-kun, have you reached the level of Sword Saint?" Sasaki Masahira not only did not take action, but instead asked with a strange expression.

Standing opposite Oshima Hui, Sasaki Masahei also felt this invisible sense of oppression.

This is a very strange feeling, and every tiny movement makes people feel restricted.

Sasaki Masahei has practiced kendo for nearly sixty years and has never felt this feeling. Even in the past, he did not feel this way when facing Yuki Motoka, who has now become a sword saint.

As a senior, Sasaki Masapien felt a very complicated feeling in his heart. He told himself that he should feel relieved, but he really felt something else in his heart.

Among this mixed feelings, the strongest feeling is actually ashamed!

Back then, he didn't have the opportunity to attack the Sword Saint. In terms of talent in kendo, Sasaki Masahei asked himself that he was not as good as Yukimoto and that monster, but compared to Ai Oshima, his talent in kendo is still a little more than that.

However, after I won the Martial Soul Cup, I lost myself. Of course, it is also a reason for my internal organs to be injured, but do I really have no chance to attack the Sword Saint?

No, I still had the chance to attack the Sword Saint at that time!

The real reason is that I am afraid of the insignificant chance of success in the Sword Saint;

It was myself who was satisfied, indulged in the pride and pleasure of the winner of the Martial Soul Cup, gaining both fame and fortune, and causing myself to lose the heart of a warrior!

When did I become a funny and weird old man? Is I really such a person? I used to be as sharp and confident as a knife, but later, I became like this. Is it the so-called game to the world? Or should I try to numb myself and let myself forget my timidity and weakness?

Today's trial match was actually just a formality, but for Sasaki Masahira, looking at Oshima Eki who was standing easily opposite him, he seemed to see himself in the era of high spirits.

No, Oshima Hui is more calm and confident now. Although she is just standing there, her momentum has controlled the rhythm.

‘Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees are springing in front of the sick tree’, come on, let yourself be a swordsman and the longest-serving chief of the Swordsman Association, and finally draw the sword happily once to pave the way for future generations!

No longer waiting for Oshima Hui's answer, Sasaki Masahira put aside everything in a long laugh, and the two flying swallows slashed like flying swallows slashing water, leaping towards the opposite side lightly.

————————————

"It seems that Chief Sasaki has really let it go today." Miyamoto Nishixin breathed a sigh of relief and said.

As a friend who has been with Sasaki for decades, how could he not tell that Chief Sasaki was feeling irritated these days?

Although Sasaki jokes loudly all day these days, and sometimes even deliberately makes funny moves to make himself look young, these somewhat excessive behaviors exposed the uneasiness in his heart.

Maybe Sasaki Masahira himself didn't think there was anything, but Miyamoto Nishik knew that his old friend probably felt a little lost, especially although Oshima Hui was paralyzed, he seemed to have successfully broken through the Sword Saint, and his old friend became more and more abnormal.

But at this moment, the swordsman's sword will not lie!

My old friend finally let it go!

———————

The sword light was like flying snow, floating lightly in the air.

Sasaki Masahei felt that he seemed to be back to the age when he was completely in his heart and swinging his own sword.

What a wonderful time it was! What I had in that era and what I lost now was a pure and flawless swordsman's heart. Unfortunately, it was not until now that I understood this from the glory of the past.

Yagyu Motoka is right, maybe it is right for him to give up the kendo for the time being. Those who are lost in their past success cannot maintain a innocent heart.

At this moment, Sasaki Shinhei was in the middle, with his sword splitting into two wings, turning sideways, slashing, rushing forward, and circling. Youth seemed to be back to him, as if he had truly transformed into a flying swallow, flying back and dancing in the air.

At this moment, Sasaki Masahei felt that he was wielding a long sword, so free and relaxed. Thirty years of glory have blinded his sword heart. It was not until today that he finally left the Sword Master Club that he woke up—

Only by standing with a sword is the true self!

——————————

Sasaki Masahei turned around Oshima Hui, light as if her feet were not touching the ground. The long sword turned into wings, slashed one by one, and turned one by one, and continued, and the sword light was like snowflakes. Oshima Hui advanced and retreated, never leaving a three-foot place. The long sword in her hand could always find the true body of Feiyan Slash in the snowflakes.

The two of them advanced and retreated, and the sound of swords fighting each other was crisp and rhythmic sound in the air, like a melodious music.

Gradually, a strange tacit understanding formed between the two, which seemed to be no longer a battle between swords and swords, but more like talking, playing chess, tasting, and dancing together.

"So beautiful—" I don't know who blurted out from below.

The sword lights were scattered, and the white swallow-patterned swordsman's sleeves were flying, like walking in the wind, flying around the black-clothed swordsman in the middle, with sword lights rising; while the black cherry blossoms danced on the spot, and the pink cherry blossoms on the swordsman's uniform seemed to come alive, floating in the wind.

When the black cherry blossom kendo suit and the white swallow-patterned kendo suit were interspersed, Sasaki Masahira's white hair flew up, and when Oshima Hui's ponytail had not yet fallen, the two of them were moving from movement to quiet at the same time, standing back to back.

Sasaki Masahira's flying swallow slash returned from his left barb that stretched outward, pointing to Ashima Yui's waist; while Ashima Yui's right hand drooped, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, pointing on the tip of the long knife, pointing directly on the back of Sasaki Masahira's neck.

————————————

"Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa--" The clapping sounds from scratch, from the beginning to the thunder behind them.

Today, almost all the swordsman and swordsman candidates who could come gathered together, and the twenty-four swordsmen witnessed the handover ceremony of the chiefs of the new and old swordsman associations here - the so-called ceremony is this trial.

Japanese kendo puts practical combat first everywhere, so the entry test of the Sword Master Association is a real sword duel; the entry ceremony of the newcomer is also a real sword duel; as the chief of the Sword Master Association with the highest honor, the handover ceremony is of course also a real sword duel.

Of course, these videos of the true sword duel are also important materials for the exchange and learning of kendo within the Sword Master Society in the future. In this peaceful era, Japan can firmly hold on to the actual combat competition of cold weapons such as the Wuhun Jue, and the exchange tradition of actual combat-first exchange of the Sword Master Society is inseparable from the actual combat-first exchange tradition.

"Hahaha, Oshima-kun, you are so polite!" Sasaki Mahei put away his long sword and turned around with a smile.

"Where, Senior Sasaki, until today, I didn't know that you had kept your hands on the test match with me!" Oshima Hui also turned around and looked at the old man who always looked inappropriate.

In today's battle, Oshima Hui did show mercy. After so many years, everyone has some feelings for her colleagues.

What's more, Sasaki Masahei is about to retire, and Oshima doesn't bother to step on an old man who is about to retire to take office. Her reputation does not need to be icing on the cake with such a victory.

What's more, Oshima Hui is confident that he can be regarded as one of the top swordsmen even in Japan's kendo history that has lasted for thousands of years.

Just now, she just accompanied the old man to fight and made a good move. Otherwise, after Yui Oshima entered the realm of the Sword Saint, he naturally possessed three abilities, including swordsman premonition and lightning strike. As long as he took serious action, at most three or two swords, he would be enough to defeat the former Swordsman Association chief.

Even so, Oshima Hui discovered one thing, that is, in all the previous trial matches between the two, the former Swordsman Association Chief Shinhei Sasaki, only used five points of strength at most!

You should know that if you are a Dashima Hui who has entered the realm of Sword Saint, you can only have two abilities: mind and kendo premonition: mind and eye can see all directions, and there will be no blind spots around your body;

The kendo premonition is a kind of ability to know beforehand, which can judge the opponent's next move in advance. Many warriors have this ability, but it depends more on experience. It would be amazing to have a 70% or 80% accuracy rate.

The sword saint's premonition of swordsmanship is a mental ability that cannot be explained. The accuracy of judgment of the opponent's next move is - 100%!

However, even after having these two miraculous abilities, Oshima Hui may not be able to be 100% sure to defeat the former chief of the Swordsman Association.

However, the ability of a lightning strike was not something she had when she stepped into the Sword Saint. This ability was only possessed when she witnessed Yagyu Moto and became a real person. Yes, Oshima Hui could understand Chinese. After all, she had been studying in the Celestial Continent for five years.

At that time, others might have focused on rebirth and returning to youth.

However, perhaps it is because Kendo has penetrated into the bone marrow of Oshima Hui. Therefore, when the body tissue is completely refreshed, Oshima Hui unknowingly, through intentional or unintentional induction, he actively optimized the tissue structure of the arm musculoskeleton.

Nowadays, when Oshima Hui bursts out his lightning strike, his swinging action can even chase light and electricity!

However, this sword is too intense and can be fired but cannot be stopped. Naturally, Kei Oshima cannot use this sword during the competition.

And Sasaki Shinhei's flying swallow slash has really reached the point of being superb. The two swords move with their hearts, as they are as a god, echoing them one after another, without any flaws!

In addition, Sasaki Shinhei's footwork is extremely elegant. It can be said that in this martial arts level, regardless of body movement, the sword movement has reached a nearly perfect level.

Without overwhelming speed and strength, even if Oshima Hui became the Sword Saint, if she had not taken all her strength, she would not have been 100% sure to win.

Anyway, Oshima Hui believed that when he was competing with this chief, as long as he showed half of his ability, he would never be a match.

However, this senior Sasaki probably won't frustrate his sword heart, and always competed with him, and then he recognized the situation on the grounds that his heart had not been healed.
Chapter completed!
