Chapter 327 The bad guy who only knows how to bully her [4K3]

After arriving at the spacious room specifically used for fitness, Watanabe Yu took off his coat, revealing the white short-sleeved shirt he was wearing underneath.

Then, his eyes fell on the bamboo sword leaning against the wall.

What surprised him was that there were not just one bamboo sword, but two.

"This thing has a high loss rate, so I brought two back."

As if she had seen through Watanabe Yu's thoughts, the Saint Lady explained calmly.

"I see."

Watanabe Yu nodded, then walked forward a few steps and picked up the bamboo sword leaning against the wall.

"I won't tell you the correct way to hold a knife. Just hold it in the way that's most comfortable for you."

Amemiya Ayana took a step back to make more space, then turned her head and motioned Ryoko, who was standing at the door, to move closer to her.

This fitness room is spacious enough. Although it cannot be compared with the fitness area of ​​a large villa, among the same type of single-family houses, their fitness area is already considered large, enough for three or four people to fully exercise.

"Why didn't you just tell Yuu how to hold the knife from the beginning?"

Hamabe Ryoko turned around and asked in a low voice.

Although her motor skills have always been good, it does not mean that she is proficient in all sports, not to mention that this sport still requires long-term kendo training.

"To put it in a more formal way, this is called the body's instinct replacing the brain and making subconscious judgments." Amamiya Ayana paused, "To put it in a more professional way, the swordsmanship of each school is different.

“The way of holding the sword will be adjusted and changed according to the swordsmanship of this school.

"For example, the Shinyu school, all sword techniques of this school pursue leaving no room for maneuver and facing death, so the action of holding the sword is fixed with the base of the palm facing the right side of the handle, similar to holding a tennis racket.

"But the Tamiya style, which pursues a one-hit kill, is different. The sword-holding posture of this style is to aim the base of the palm at the top of the handle in order to achieve a faster speed.

"So, strictly speaking, there is no 'best' way to hold a knife, only the one that suits you best."

Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Mr. Troll who was adjusting his grip.

She believed in Mr. Troll's talent, but judging from his current actions, he was indeed a complete 'newbie'.

To use the words of the teacher who taught her swordsmanship before, he doesn't even have the most basic form.

But, when it comes to swordsmanship, having nothing means having everything.

That is, there are great possibilities in all aspects.

"So, did you find it? Yuu."

Amamiya Ayana blinked and asked this question.

"Well... I guess I found it."

Watanabe Yu finally made a slight adjustment to his grip, and after confirming that it was correct, he memorized it.

Strangely enough, the muscle memory of [Kendo (Elementary)] did not tell him how to hold the sword correctly, but only reminded him subtly to choose a posture that was most conducive to exerting force.

"Uh..." A hint of subtlety flashed across Amamiya Ayana's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood again, "Then, how about giving it a try with the air swing?"

Su Zhen is the best way to test whether your knife-holding posture is comfortable or not.

Similarly, this is also a way to test whether this posture is good for exerting force.

As for the 'hey, ha' sounds that need to be made when swinging the knife, she chose not to mention it.

Mainly because it was a bit strange for You to shout it out at this time.

After all, this is at home, not in a temple.

Of course, if it was the latter, it would be hard not to shout out when Su Zhen was around. After all, the atmosphere around him was really quite motivating.

"it is good."

Watanabe You responded, then took a deep breath, and then began to vibrate according to muscle memory.

As he swung, his body began to automatically adjust the force.

"Why do I feel like Su Zhen is becoming more and more presentable?"

Ryoko Hamabe tugged at Ayana Amamiya's sleeve and spoke in a low voice.

She was a complete amateur in kendo, but even she could see that You's Su Zhen was getting better and better, and his movements were becoming more and more skillful.

What is a little bit outrageous is that this is not the result of one or two weeks, one or two months of practice, but the result of practicing it again and again with visible progress.

"..."

But this time, Amemiya Ayana did not answer her, but silently pursed her thin lips.

The current scene was quite different from what she had imagined.

It is no exaggeration to say that the You who took a long time to adjust his knife grip just now and the You who is holding the knife properly now are completely different people.

If she couldn't see that his previous strangeness was indeed real, she would have suspected that he had been practicing secretly, waiting to show off in front of them soon.

But this was just a thought. As a roommate living under the same roof, she knew his character very well. Unlike those who always wanted to show off, he was quite low-key most of the time. Even if he had a certain skill, he would not take the initiative to show it off.

Objectively speaking, in this regard, You's state of mind is far more stable than his peers.

However, it is precisely because of this that every time he displays his talent like this, the people around him will be filled with emotion.

In Kiriyama's words, he was so jealous that he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but think, "How could you do this?" and "Damn, I wish I was the one in the spotlight right now."

"So, what level is Yuta now? First level? Second level? Or something higher?"

Seeing that the Saint Lady did not answer, Hamabe Ryoko thought she did not hear it, so she asked again.

"I can't tell. I have to fight him to find out."

This time, Amemiya Ayana did not remain silent, but gave a truthful answer.

Her attainments in kendo were not very high, and when her kendo teacher gave her six points, she could barely tie the opponent on equal terms.

But the teacher who taught her kendo also said that with her level, she would have no problem teaching a lesson to a swordsman of the first or second level.

However, she also had to be careful. If she faced a swordsman whose actual strength was at the third or even fourth level but who did not have enough time to upgrade to the next level, she would have absolutely no chance.

But the probability is very small. Such a monster only appears once in twenty years.

When she was told this, the other party also mentioned that Kuroda Yuu was such a genius.

"Yu!"

Amemiya Ayana stepped forward and stopped Watanabe Yu who was about to swing his knife again.

"Ok?"

Watanabe Yu's movements paused slightly, then he put down the knife and looked at Amamiya Ayana who was walking towards him.

"Let's have a sparring match, just enough practice."

The Saint Lady didn't waste any words and stated her purpose concisely.

If You could defeat her easily, then... she would be sure that this bad guy was deliberately hiding his abilities. He was clearly practicing kendo, but he kept silent and even pretended to understand nothing at all.

As for whether he was truly a one-in-a-million genius in swordsmanship, she could only say that the possibility was low.

Even if one is a genius, he cannot master Su Zhen in just two moves at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is not a period novel. Even if it is a period novel, the warrior protagonist in it is not talented to this extent.

"……okay."

Watanabe Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He knew Ayana Amamiya's personality. Once she decided to do something, she would definitely do it. If he suddenly refused, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, he could roughly guess that Ayana's purpose was to confirm her true level in kendo through this method. "Let's not follow the usual rules of the kendo competition. Let's be a little more relaxed."

Amemiya Ayana turned around and picked up another bamboo sword.

After grasping the hilt of the knife with ease, she looked at Watanabe Yu with burning eyes.

"Ah."

Since people said so, Watanabe Yu naturally had no objection.

Besides, he really didn't know the rules of the kendo competition. The only thing he knew a little about was the general scoring method of the kendo competition, which was to shout out the location of the hit before hitting the opponent.

But the problem was that he had no idea what the positions were called.

There is no such thing in the experience included in this [Kendo (Elementary)], only pure muscle memory.

"..."

Amamiya Ayana stopped talking and her expression became serious.

She gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and observed Watanabe Yu's movements carefully.

The tips of the two bamboo swords are slightly staggered.

The next moment, she moved the tip of the knife tentatively.

This is not a sign of cowardice, but just a test, while hiding one's true intentions. This is consistent with Iai's philosophy, that is, to give a decisive killing move when the opponent is least expected.

But unlike the opponents she had faced before, the tip of Watanabe Yu's knife did not move.

His grip on the bamboo sword was so steady that it gave her an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if the person playing against her was not a 'beginner' but an experienced swordsman.

"drink!"

Suddenly, the Saint Lady shouted softly.

But to her surprise, Watanabe Yu did not move his feet in panic or make any movements, but still maintained his current posture calmly, and even the tip of his bamboo sword did not shake.

Is it my imagination?

As she thought about this, her eyes became increasingly sharp.

The next moment, without any warning, she swung the bamboo sword forward.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

According to her experience in fighting enemies, in this position, if she swung the sword, even the kendo teacher would have a hard time catching it.

Because this knife was meant to inflict injury in exchange for life.

Of course, because her opponent was Mr. Troll, she held back and could stop at any time.

only……

The scene she expected did not appear.

The moment she swung the sword, Watanabe Yu took a step forward, slightly tilted his bamboo sword, and avoided her sword tip. At the same time, using the speed of his body, the sword landed on her neck first.

However, because both parties were holding back, there was no actual contact. At best, it was just the feeling of a gust of wind brushing against the cheek.

"hiss."

Hamabe Ryoko, who was watching the game, covered her mouth, but her surprised voice still escaped.

She knew Amamiya Ayana. The Saint Lady was not the type to do anything reckless. Since she said she wanted to go up and try it with You, her attainments in kendo were definitely not at the beginner level.

Including the test just now, although she didn't quite understand it, Ayana's cold shout should be intended to distract You, and then she would seize the opportunity to attack instantly, but unfortunately, You was not distracted.

Thus, the initiative shifted to You's side.

In order to avoid being at a disadvantage, Ayana chose to launch a sudden attack, but was resolved by Yuu.
——She guessed.

But she felt that in reality it shouldn't be too far off. After all, she had seen news about a kendo competition before, and the commentator had made the same analysis.

"I lost." Amamiya Ayana put down her bamboo sword happily and looked at Watanabe Yu's forearm. "Answer me honestly, Mr. Troll, have you been practicing secretly for several years?"

It's a bit incompetent to say this, but as someone who has slept in the same bed with him, she realized that his forearm muscles were incredibly strong, and the muscle lines looked extremely powerful and beautiful.

"Well, that's true... Well, you've discovered this. I did practice for about two and a half years, but I only picked it up during this period."

Watanabe Yu originally wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

There is no other reason. After all, it would be a bit too far-fetched to say that it is just a talent.

Besides, he wasn't lying. The muscle memory of his [Kendo (Elementary)] gave him the feeling that he had been practicing for more than two years.

But the two years here does not mean practicing for only a few hours every day, but practicing Su Zhen from morning to night.

As for the practical experience, it is the experience of fighting with absolute masters.

There is no fixed routine, only deadly clashes of swords that draw blood.

"Did you just pick it up during this time?"

Amamiya Ayana frowned.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded.

He knew that Ayana's expression meant that she would ask her mother later.

He had also thought about it. When his mother asked him about it, he would answer, "I practiced secretly and didn't let anyone know." Then he would add, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I have been practicing for so long, just to show off at a certain time."

With my mother's temper, as long as he said that, the other party would definitely not say anything else and would just give him a deep roll of the eyes.

"alright."

Amemiya Ayana pursed her lips and put the bamboo sword back to the wall.

"So, what level am I at?"

Watanabe Yuya also put down his bamboo sword.

"From the second dan up, maybe the third dan? Or the fourth dan? I haven't fought with veterans of the third and fourth dan, so I'm not sure."

Amamiya Ayana gave a very honest answer.

"I understand."

Hearing this, Watanabe You nodded thoughtfully.

To make a conservative estimate, taking the third dan as an example, the beginner level is the third dan, and if we expand it reasonably, the intermediate level is the sixth dan, and the advanced level is the ninth dan. However, the highest level in kendo now is the eighth dan, and the ninth and tenth dan are honorary titles.

"So, will you join the Kendo Club?"

Suddenly, the Saint Miss turned around and asked a question.

"No, uh, why are you asking this?"

Watanabe Yu looked at her with a puzzled look.

"nothing."

Amemiya Ayana shook her head, then reached out and gently pinched his face, then glared at him in pretended anger.

"Besides, you bad guy, you only know how to bully me! You obviously know how to do it, but you still say you are a beginner!"

She pursed her lips and showed her teeth and claws in a cute way.
