Tokyo: Starting from staying at my mother's bestie's house

Iinuma Isao was forced to jump up and shouted in the air: "You are a scoundrel!"

"Young man, we are fighting for life and death, not a duel of swords. I never told you that we would only duel with swords!" Kato Ryota also yelled back, and at the same time quickly pressed forward, "Young man, I have a piece of advice for you - never trust the kindness and righteousness of the Yakuza!"

While giving life advice, Kato Ryota rushed forward and launched a storm-like, intensive and fierce attack on the boy.

In the blink of an eye, the weapons clashed dozens of times, and Iinuma Isao was beaten back step by step.

But he was still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Growing up under the teachings of his mother, he always keeps two points in mind.

1: Offense is the best defense.

2. Hesitation leads to defeat.

During the offensive and defensive battle, Kato Ryota found an opening and kicked Iinuma Isao in the wide open chest with a side kick.

Iinuma Isao, who was originally holding the sword with both hands and was about to chop down, hastily changed his position to hold the sword with his right hand and blocked his chest with his left hand.

"Oh!"

The kick was so powerful that he fell to the ground and slid outwards, breaking the sliding door of the tea room.

"Axun!"

Huacheng Xingzi screamed and ran over quickly.

"No, I'm fine..." Iinuma Isao climbed up from the courtyard and looked at the pale old lady: "Next time, use less floor wax, otherwise it will be too slippery."

"Ah? Oh, oh oh..."

Huacheng Xingzi looked like she understood, but not completely.

In the tea room, Kato Ryota came out and said coldly: "If you don't use your full strength, you will lose."

"You haven't won yet, stop bragging!" Iinuma Isao jumped onto the corridor and assumed the starting stance of Iai.

"You dare to use Iai?" Kato Ryota found it a little difficult to understand, but he didn't think too much and rushed forward directly.

Iinuma Isao held the knife, found the right moment, and pulled it out with the Iai Slash.

The blade went straight for Kato Ryota's waist.

But his figure suddenly disappeared.

Iinuma Isao immediately realized that the other party had used real skills.

The master-level body movement is really amazing...

The second after his opponent disappeared, Iinuma Isao immediately felt the sound of breaking wind in the air on the left side, and quickly turned sideways and rushed forward...

But there was nothing in front of him.

"you are too naive!"

Kato Ryota's voice sounded behind him.

It turned out to be a feint to the east and attack in the west!

Iinuma Isao just turned around and took a blocking stance.

Kato Ryota stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a knife, causing him to step back repeatedly, holding his lower abdomen and retching several times.

"Master's sword is indeed powerful..." the young man said with a distorted face.

Kato Ryota frowned and said nothing.

Obviously, although the boy was covered in wounds, the fighting spirit in his eyes had not diminished at all.

He felt an unprecedented pure, innocent and fierce aura from this fifteen-and-a-half-year-old boy, as if he was not facing a person, but the pure and clean cross-section of a famous sword handed down from generation to generation.

"Hey, Kato-san!" Iinuma Isao suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm much stronger than I was at the beginning?"

His voice was clear and loud, full of the confident youth spirit.

Kato Ryota nodded silently.

"now it's right!"

Iinuma Isao smiled with satisfaction.

The system panel shows that the current sword skills have become proficient level 8, only two levels away from the master level.

Fighting with masters is indeed beneficial... My mother is also a master, but every time he sparred with her, they would get so bored that they just enjoyed it together, and there was never a single time when they could fight properly from beginning to end.

"But you still can't beat me like this!" said Ryota Kato.

The boy's eyes were sharp.

"You will be killed by me!" Kato Ryota continued, "Everything you protect will be taken away by me! Including her——"

After saying that, he pointed the knife in his hand at Huacheng Xingzi.

In fact, defeating the boy directly would have been the best option, but he didn't do that.

The boy wanted a strong opponent, so he provoked him with words, allowing him to get rid of the discouragement caused by imprisonment, and finally enter the realm of a master.

This practice deserves his respect.

His sword was filled with murderous intent, and the direction of his practice turned directly into the Shura path.

Although the Shura Dao values ​​killing, they only like to achieve a resounding victory in a face-to-face and extreme fight. They would rather die at the hands of a strong enemy than take a victory by chance.

So now it was his turn to buff the boy.

"You are indeed strong and talented, but you are only one person after all!" Kato Ryota said in a deep voice, his eyes as sharp as a sword, "The Red Tai Group you are facing has hundreds of members. Their relationship in the government can be traced back to the direct line of the Tokyo Governor. They can also invite masters from the ancient sword family to come out. All of this combined is far beyond what a teenager like you can handle!"

After hearing this, Huacheng Xingzi remained silent.

Kato Ryota continued, "The Huacheng family will be invaded, and the women of the Huacheng family will be insulted. These are facts that a fifteen-year-old boy like you cannot change!"

Yes.

How can one person fight against the powerful...

He was still young and energetic that year, and he felt that resistance was the right thing to do, so he was sentenced to five years.

In prison, he calmed down.

After he got out, when he met the person he had admired when he was young and ignorant, he chose to remain indifferent.

He felt that he had matured.

He decided that he couldn't fight the powerful alone, so he stopped trying.

...What a sad maturity.

Kato Ryota took several deep breaths, looked at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If you insist on fighting against the powerful, I promise with my life that I will help you protect them after you die, that's all..."

"No, Kato-san, you're wrong! I have to protect the people, even if it means going against the whole world, I will not hesitate to draw my sword!" Iinuma Isao held his head high and looked straight at him, "I will definitely win! Not just tonight, but also tomorrow night, the night after that, and every night -"

His pure and blazing gaze was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

This intense and meaningless gaze is like a dragon, like a real dragon!

Suddenly, the cherry blossoms began to fall.

There is obviously no wind!

Kato Ryota looked at the young man with a surprised look, who seemed to be in a state of meditation.

There was no movement of the air, but pink cherry blossom petals kept floating into the room from outside.

The cherry blossoms, like a dragon, danced around the boy...

Suddenly, Kato Ryota's pupils shrank slightly.

He had a strong premonition that he was about to witness the birth of a master!

Chapter 49: Beauty and Hero

Amid the scent of cherry blossoms at night, Iinuma Isao closed his eyes and calmed his breathing.

Petals fell on his shoulders.

Having just experienced a life-and-death struggle, my mood is still filled with throbbing and excitement, which continues to bring about the aftertaste.

Although he felt aches all over his body, he benefited greatly from the feeling of satisfaction after giving it his all.

Soon, he entered a state of meditation.

As he absorbed the combat experience and insights, some memories came to his mind.

"Where are you going?" his mother asked him standing at the door.

"Go to Tokyo!"

"What to do?"

"To succeed!"

"What if I can't get out?"

"Then come back and live off your parents..."

After saying that, he went out without even looking back, carrying his luggage.

Mom didn't want him to leave.

But he had to go.

Because under the protection of his mother, he lived too comfortably and comfortably and lost the motivation to move forward.

His mother vaguely wanted him to be a loser in Asahikawa for the rest of his life, but he didn't want to do that and wanted to go out and try his luck.

When one day he becomes stronger than his mother, he will come back to overthrow her and become a rebellious son who has the strength to contradict her!

——Look, I have become your pride!

My mother's smile gradually faded.

Iinuma Isao opened his eyes.

At this moment, the wind blew in from outside the eaves.

Clusters of blooming cherry blossoms trembled in the wind, and a large number of petals fell, like dots of pink scales.
