"Angrily..." Zuo Cun lowered his head and looked at his hands.
"No, it's not so much hostility..." Shusuke Kondo frowned, "How about something else?"
He shook his head.
"In short, after drawing the sword, you gave me a strange feeling, which is different from the strange feeling of swordsmanship."
Kondo Shusuke has strong swordsmanship and a vicious vision.
When you communicate with powerful people, you can often discover many different things.
"Thank you, Mr. Kondo." Anno Zuomura quickly bowed slightly.
He is not a student of Shusuke Kondo, but Shusuke Kondo is willing to give guidance, which is something that needs to be thanked.
Kondo Shusuke waved his hand: "No need to thank you."
After pondering for two seconds, he raised his head and asked: "Zuocun, since you have chosen to draw the sword, what is your reason for drawing the sword?"
"I..." Zuomura Annuo froze on the spot.
Do you need a reason to draw your sword?
Kondo Shusuke saw clearly the expression of Samura Ano, and he also saw clearly what Samura Ano was thinking.
He picked up a machete from the shelf behind him.
"This is a sword." He showed the sword to Anno Zuomura.
Zuocun didn't speak, just nodded.
Kondo Shusuke took out the sword from its scabbard and put it on his neck.
"Mr. Kondo..." Zuomura was startled.
"Be patient, Samura." Kondo Shusuke's face was calm, "This is how to use the sword."
"Owl's head, arm-breaking, stabbing, heart-gouging... are all ways to use the sword."
"It takes a short time to forge a sword, but it takes a very long time for a person to grow."
Take the sword off your neck and sheath it.
"However, such a short-lived sword can easily kill an older person."
His eyes were burning.
"This is the sword, a dangerous weapon."
"Even though the Americans have brought muskets now, they still can't change the danger of the sword."
"Dangerous tools, dangerous lives, as long as they have power, they should be restrained. Otherwise, they cannot be used and are not worthy of being used."
Anno Zuomura listened quietly, and Souji Okita outside the room also rolled his eyes.
These remarks are all clichés made by Shusuke Kondo. They can scare people who are listening to them for the first time, but if they are repeated often, they feel a bit boring.
"We are samurai, we can carry swords, but the sword is only in the hands of the samurai. This is the constraint."
"But the warrior holding the sword is also an uncontrollable force and still needs to be restrained."
"Laws may be okay, but instead of using external objects to restrain a person, it is better to let him restrain himself. Only in this way can he get along with power more harmoniously."
"That's why I asked you why you drew the sword."
Zuomura Annuo opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Kondo Shusuke walked from his seat to Zuomura Annuo and patted him on the shoulder.
"Young man, there is no need to answer me now." Kondo Shusuke's smile is quite kind and gentle, but he always likes to have a cold face.
"You will eventually find the answer one day, but before you find the answer, remember not to get out of the sheath easily."
Zuo Cun nodded heavily: "I understand."
He thought for a while and then said: "Then, can I become your teacher and study in this trial defense hall?"
Kondo Shusuke was stunned, stopped smiling, and began to seriously look at Anno Samura.
After looking at it for a while, Kondo Shusuke shook his head.
"You are a good sword embryo, but I already have another good sword embryo." Kondo Shusuke sighed, "For the rest of my life, I can only choose to forge one."
"... Souji is my disciple, and I will hand over all my lifelong learning to her, so... I can no longer educate another genius."
"Go find your own mentor."
Zuomura Annuo did not complain, but nodded respectfully: "I understand, Mr. Kondo."
Kondo Shusuke nodded.
Opening the door, there was no one outside.
"This stinky girl..." Kondo Shusuke muttered.
"Before you find a way forward, you can stay in the trial defense hall for a while." After Kondo Shusuke said this, he walked out.
Anno Zuomura smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Kondo."
...
Kondo Shusuke arranged a room for Samura Anno. As a guest, he had a separate room.
In the trial guard hall, among the apprentices, only Okita Souji has a separate room.
There is no other reason, just because Souji is a girl.
In the evening, Annuo Zuomura was sitting by the house wearing a navy blue Wu suit.
He is watching the sunset.
During the day, what Kondo Shusuke said shocked him greatly.
Stroking the emerald green pheasant feathers, Zuo Cun's mind sank.
Is there any reason to draw the sword...?
But I am just a person without a past, can I really find the so-called reason...
"Yo." A voice sounded in Zuo Cun's ear.
Zuo Cun looked subconsciously.
A young man with furry hair on his temples and a particularly flat face sat next to him.
"Who are you......"
"Hijikata Shisan, please give me more advice."
"Samura Annuo, please give me some advice."
He said hello briefly.
"Will you stay here as a student in the future, Samura-kun?" Toshizo Hijikata put his hands behind his back, "Ah, the sun is a bit dazzling..."
Zuo Cun shook his head and sat upright: "No, if I find my own way out, I will probably leave here."
"Hmm." Hijikata paused, "I thought you would stay here."
Zuo Cun smiled and said nothing.
"Speaking of which, you are really strong. I saw the competition during the day." Hijikata grinned, showing his teeth, "Tomorrow, if you go to the dojo, let's spar."
"Ah...I wish for it." Zuo Cun became very interested in swordsmanship.
Kondo Shusuke's words not only made him think more.
In Zuo Cun's heart, all he knew about swords was the one that killed the bandit, and nothing else.
Wanting to learn swordsmanship was what Zuo Cun had in mind.
What Kondo Shusuke sensed was not anger at all, but a heart that was born to know how to fight.
"Hijikata, Samura, what are you talking about?" Souji Okita walked over from the other end of the wooden corridor.
She was sweating. She must have just practiced sword practice.
"Ah, Okita, I want to learn swordsmanship with Samura." Hijikata opened his mouth and smiled.
"Oh? How about taking one with me?"
"Okay, great."
"Oh! I'm going to find Shimazaki and Inoue, let's train together!"
"Go, go, go!"
Zuo Cun:......
Suddenly I feel like I shouldn’t agree?
He sighed, put Zhiyu back in the room, and Zuocun followed him.
