I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 11 Uesugi Tetsu's swordsmanship talent is not ideal
After separating from Ririko, Uesugi Tetsu simply wiped himself off, changed back into his school uniform, and returned to his seat.

Although he was unable to practice sword at noon because of Kondo Hideya, the kendo club instructor, to be honest, Uesugi Tetsu not only had no complaints about him, but was grateful to him.

because--

[The appearance of a rift in the Eternal World has been detected. You can now choose to enter the Eternal World to explore.]

The moment he stepped onto the plastic track in the playground, this reminder appeared in front of Uesugi Che again.

In other words, he may no longer need to go to the four-star Edo Castle to kill monsters.

Rather, it's a chance to explore a possible low-star map.

Even if it is not a suitable low-star map, it can provide an extra option.

If he hadn't been punished to run laps today, Uesugi Tetsu, who had already decided to go to school between "Qijia Jutsu in class and Kendo Hall after class", didn't know how long it would take before he would step onto the running track.

Not only that, in order to make running laps easier, Uesugi Tetsu further improved his proficiency in Qigong, and was able to use some Qigong techniques in his breathing while running.

[Your skill, Qi He Jutsu fragment proficiency +18! ]

……

The school class tradition in Japan is different from that in the neighboring schools. Here, they promote happy and relaxed education. Not only do they start school late in the morning, but they also finish school early in the afternoon, not to mention the evening self-study that lasts until nine or ten o'clock.

The purpose is to allow students to have more time to participate in clubs.

If your goal is to get into a good university, you have to pay for after-school tutoring classes yourself. It is unlikely to succeed just by relying on what is taught in school.

[Your skill, Qi He Jutsu fragment proficiency +12! ]

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Uesugi Che, who had spent the entire afternoon improving his proficiency in Qigong, walked out of the classroom.

When he was about to look for Lilizi, he found that the real person was already standing outside the door waiting for him.

Even though get out of class had just ended, the F class that Ririko was in was a whole corridor away from her A class.

"Running here?"

"You made up an excuse and ran away early. I'm from a privileged class. You've known this for a long time, haven't you?"

The questions and answers between the two also caused Uesugi Tetsu's memories to surge.

Lilizi, who won two championships in the kendo competition "Yulongqi" last year, has a higher status in the school than ordinary teachers.

The Jade Dragon Flag is to high school students practicing kendo what Koshien is to baseball.

Generally speaking, participating teams will select five people from the school's kendo club to serve as vanguard, second-in-command, core, deputy general, and general respectively.

Tokugawa Ririko, who served as the general, not only won the individual championship.

He even completed the amazing feat of "one against five" in a desperate situation where all his teammates were defeated, leading Yingdu High School to win the championship in the team competition, and seemed to be on the verge of making the school famous throughout the country.

If placed in a fantasy novel, Lilizi would probably be an invincible genius who makes all her peers unable to raise their heads.

Such a genius, the school is so afraid of her melting down that they hold her in the palm of their hands. Perhaps only Kondo, who directly teaches her swordsmanship, dares to be disrespectful to her.

No wonder since this morning, Uesugi Tetsu felt that the eyes of his classmates around him were a little strange.

Ririko, who is at the top of the school's class pyramid, is actually walking together with him, a low-level, unknown person who has no special skills except being handsome and likes the two-dimensional world.

This matter is enough to become gossip.

Not to mention that Ririkko also took him to the Kendo Club to wear the uniform, and in the afternoon, the two of them were seen running laps together by many people.

"Uesugi-kun, if you really want to practice swordsmanship, the first thing you need to do is to calm your mind."

In the corridor, Lilizi spoke calmly.

"How to do it exactly?"

Lilizi advised, "Let your heart reject external distractions and remain as calm as the surface of a lake."

"it is good."

Uesugi Che focused his mind, and subconsciously operated the Qi Harmony Technique with each breath. After his mind was at peace, he filtered out the whispers around him.

[You have mastered the sword realm "Calm as Still Water", Willpower +3]

Uesugi Tetsu, invigorated, thought to himself, is this realm of swordsmanship easy to achieve? He thought, "Just change your mind and you'll be able to break through." When he reached the bottom of the building and no one was around, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly noticed Lilizi staring at him with the eyes of someone observing a monster.

Uesugi Tetsu: "Is there something dirty on my face?"

After two seconds of silence, Lilizi asked, "Your heart is as still as water... Did you do it?"

Uesugi Tetsu was puzzled: "Isn't it just treating what passersby say as fart? What's so difficult about that?"

After staring at each other for a while, Lilizi realized that he didn't seem to be joking, so she turned her head away and said as if nothing had happened, "Hurry up."

In an instant, you can achieve a calm mind...

"It's not that difficult." Lilizi took a deep breath and tried to keep a straight face. "But Uesugi-kun, you do have more kendo talent than the average person."

Uesugi Tetsu took what she said seriously and cupped his hands, "From now on, I'll be bothering Teacher Lilizi a lot more."

Lilizi didn't say anything.

After changing into the uniform, Ririkko first rejected a number of club members' invitations to spar with her and then took Uesugi Tetsu into the deepest part of the kendo hall.

After walking into a small dojo and closing the heavy wooden door, the kendo hall, which had been noisy after class, suddenly became quiet.

Ririkoro, wearing a high ponytail, stepped barefoot on the cool wooden floor. "This is the cubicle that Kondo-sensei used when he was teaching me. Now I can put it to good use by teaching you swordsmanship, Uesugi-kun."

She took the brand new bamboo sword out of the bag and handed it solemnly to Uesugi Tetsu.

Uesugi Tetsu took it with both hands: "Teacher Lilizi, I will study hard."

Lilizi nodded noncommittally, then sat down cross-legged and began to explain: "My sword style is the Tennen Rishin-ryu. Although I haven't obtained the 'Menkyo Kaiden' certificate yet, this can only be considered a sparring and exchange between classmates, so it's fine."

What a disclaimer.

Uesugi Tetsu was complaining in his heart when he saw a prompt suddenly pop up in front of him.

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the sword style, Tennen Rishin-ryu...]

He perked up and listened without daring to neglect anything.

"Unlike modern kendo, we emphasize simplicity, practicality, and flexibility rather than scoring in competition..."

After more than ten minutes of explanation, Lilizi stood up and said, "Come, first learn how to stand and hold the sword."

[You have learned the sword technique: Natural Rishin Flow.]

【Natural Rituals (Beginner 0/200)】

[Effect: None]

My goodness, even though he has already learned swordsmanship, he is still in the "unentered" stage, and the proficiency level of the unentered stage alone is twice as much as the proficiency level after entering the Qigong stage.

I can only say that it is worthy of being an orthodox swordsmanship school, and it is not something that can be challenged by a mere fragment of Qigong.

Two and a half hours later.

[After arduous training, your skill, proficiency in the natural rational flow, has increased by +1!]

Uesugi Tetsu, sweating profusely, put down his bamboo sword and fell into deep thought as he looked at the progress bar that hardly moved.

"Uesugi-kun, your swordsmanship talent doesn't seem very ideal."

Lilizi leaned on her sword with a stern face, but her tone was gloating, with a rather sarcastic tone.

"But don't be too disappointed." She squatted down and patted Uesugi Tetsu's shoulder, her tone caring, "Uesugi-kun, talent is something you can't force."

She looked at the silent Uesugi Tetsu for a while, then restrained her tone and added a comforting sentence: "Besides, your breathing rhythm technique is not bad."

A curious little head popped out from the edge of Uesugi Tetsu's vision: "Teach me?"

"Don't worry, I'll teach you."

Uesugi Che stared at the eye-catching "1" for a while, then began to rummage through his storage backpack. Finally, he stopped when he saw the remaining two gleaming [Soul-Requiem Incense Ashes].

他 说:

"Let me be quiet for a while and sort out my thoughts."
