You say this is a love game?

For example, if he has two katanas, one long and one short, he can activate the Niten Ichiryu all-conquering stance, attacking with the long sword and blocking with the short sword, integrating offense and defense while greatly increasing his lethality.

Considering his current proficiency, even if he faces Miss JK, he is confident that he can kill her with one blow.

But, no knife!

A good cook cannot cook without rice. A swordsman without a sword is like an eagle without wings to soar into the sky. He has fought many battles with a kitchen knife, but a meal replacement is just a meal replacement and can never replace the importance of a sword.

He was tired of kitchen knives.

Now, he needs to become a real swordsman!

After tidying up his equipment, Mizutani Makoto walked around the gymnasium door.

The dojo and swimming pool are both located behind the gymnasium. Further back there is a mountain. The trees are lush under the blood moon, and a small path can be vaguely seen winding towards the top of the mountain.

Makoto Mizutani stood under the shade of a tree and looked out. The dojo covered an area almost as big as the swimming pool. Makoto Mizutani didn't have any thoughts about the swimming pool and went straight to the kendo club dojo.

Compared to the charred and damaged areas in other places, the burn marks here are not as severe.

From the outside, the dojo looks like a tower.

Mizutani Makoto was sure that he had never seen such a tower-shaped building in the school's history. Perhaps it was due to some obsession in the cracks that the entire kendo club's dojo had changed. Compared to the plain swimming pool next door, this place was much more conspicuous.

Push open the half-remaining camphor door.

The furnishings in the dojo were generally simple, with faded tatami mats on the floor, the edges of which were a smoky brown. There was a shrine on the wall at the end of the sight, with the sword holder enshrined in it covered with a thin layer of dust, except for the wooden sword in the center, which was as shiny as new.

The area without tatami is the corridor, where protective gear racks and shoe cabinets are placed.

On the wall opposite the entrance hangs a calligraphy plaque with the words "Must Win!", and on the left wall are various competition awards, all of which represent honors.

Mizutani Makoto looked around briefly. The enlarged dojo became extremely spacious, feeling to be about a hundred square meters.

The characteristics of a soul wandering player make him pay more attention to certain corners or details.

As for the monsters...the monsters here are also very polite.

In Mizutani Makoto's field of vision, he could see figures covered in kendo protective gear, standing still in the four corners of the dojo in the standard Seiza posture, with charred shimenaga ropes hanging from the gaps in the protective gear, and knives placed horizontally in front of their knees.

This is not a bamboo sword, but a real samurai sword.

Mizutani Makoto explores forward.

The copper bell hanging under the door suddenly rang out without any wind, making a sharp and long sound like an alarm.

Click, click——

The kendo apprentice who was kneeling in the corner of the dojo slowly stood up with the stiffness of mechanical gears turning.

Wearing metal mesh masks, leather chest armor, and hanging armour made of woven laces, the apprentices stood up like ancient warriors, drawing their swords with majestic postures. However, they did not rush forward. Instead, they formed a human wall, and then a kendo apprentice walked out alone, holding a sword.

"Single challenge?"

You still care about this?

Good! You have the spirit of a warrior!

Mizutani Makoto pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist, looked at the cold and shining samurai sword in the other party's hand, licked the corner of his dry lips, and suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

Lonely late at night, passionate and hot.

I want it, I want it so much!

This is what men really desire!

"I command you to fight me with swords quickly!"

Chapter 59 This is the Soul of a Swordsman!

"drink!"

A muffled shout, unable to distinguish between men, women, young and old, exploded from the mask of his protective gear. The kendo apprentice swung his sword but to no avail, so he immediately withdrew his attack with reluctance.

But it was at this moment that the kendo apprentice's left elbow bent at an incredible angle, and he changed his moves unreasonably, chopped hard, and the tip of the knife slid directly towards Mizutani Makoto's left arm.

Keng!

The blast of the sword splitting the air hurt my eardrums, and the short-handled kitchen knife collided with it, sending out sparks along the intersecting trajectories.

Mizutani Makoto showed excitement, spun his wrist upwards, and relying on his spiritual power that far exceeded that of an ordinary person's brute force, he swept away his sword with a downward sweep, then kicked him hard, and when he fell backward with his legs wide open, he threw the kitchen knife in his hand like an axe, hitting him right in the face with a critical blow!

puff! !

Thick black blood gushed out from the mask!

In just a few seconds, the swordsmanship apprentice collapsed and turned into blood. Then the protective gear and blood on his body all turned into sand and dissipated, leaving not a drop.

Soul +28

The next moment, two kendo apprentices walked out from the crowd of apprentices. They drew their swords and pointed the tips of the blades at Mizutani Makoto's face.

Mizutani Makoto pulled out the kitchen knife from the ground and shouted, "Come again!"

He had to admit it.

His "swordsman soul" was burning.

After fighting with Jizo and Miss JK, it was the first time for Makoto Mizutani to fight against a humanoid enemy who was good at "kendo".

This opportunity is really rare.

Only when fighting with kendo apprentices could Mizutani Makoto most keenly perceive his shortcomings and progress in kendo, and feel more intuitively that he was practicing kendo, not a butcher's knife.

The two sides fought with their own kendo philosophies and kendo schools.

It's a matter of life and death!

This scene also fits the young man's martial arts dream very well.

Upper section, middle section, lower section, left wing, right wing!

At this moment, Mizutani Makoto held his breath and concentrated, and what flashed through his mind were the five sword positions, which were the upper and middle positions that were commonly used before.

In Niten Ichiryu, there are five types of attack directions, but the sole purpose of all attacks is to defeat the enemy.

No matter which direction you use to attack or defend, it is not something that requires conscious thinking, as Kendo teaches - when you hold the sword, you only need to think about one thing: knock down the enemy!

So what if I’m fighting one against two?

Mizutani Makoto dodged left and right during the fight, his explosive power no less than that of his defeated opponent, Miss JK. He found the right opportunity and swung out with his sword. The katana in the kendo apprentice's hand fell out of his hand, but was swirled and chopped down in the air by the black mist.

And sword-wielding skills?

Mizutani Makoto was not surprised at all. He never forgot that the guys he was fighting were a group of monsters in human form.

But he had no idea of ​​using "the eyes of the woman by the window".

The young man laughed loudly, and actually lowered his body and slid forward to lunge out. The blade brushed against the protective gear and armor. He turned around and hit the apprentice's neck with his elbow, and pushed the apprentice towards the knife rack near the wall. He drew out a charred bamboo sword with his left hand.

Bang! !

This bamboo sword is surprisingly hard and can actually block the falling samurai sword.

Mizutani Makoto held a bamboo sword in his left hand, shouted loudly, and used his extraordinary strength to shake off the falling samurai sword. He turned around and chopped the mask with the kitchen knife, and thick black blood gushed out like a fountain.

There is only one left, how can he be his opponent in a one-on-one fight?

Mizutani Makoto switched his weapons in his left and right hands, and with a bamboo sword in hand he launched a "Wu Nian Xiang Zhan" attack.

This slash was completely based on instinct, and it was struck without thinking.

Give your all and leave no way out, this is "no thoughts".

This all-out slash, driven by the sheer desire for victory, is the entry-level technique for all of Niten Ichiryu's slashing techniques.

【Kendo Niten Ichiryu】:476／500 (Entry Level)

Killing Miss JK quickly fell into the familiar zone of speed bumps and once again soared with an efficiency of +10.

Killing one is killing, killing two is killing, and when the next wave of four apprentices come together, he will kill, kill, kill!

"Ha! All of you, die!"

Kill three more! The remaining one fiercely kicked at the knife rack. When the sword in his hand slipped out, Mizutani Makoto rushed forward and grabbed it, refining it in an instant!

Your knife is very good, lend it to me now!

He stepped on the apprentice's mask but did not kill him.

This was a detail that Mizutani Makoto thought of - as long as he didn't kill the apprentice, its knife would not be refreshed, and he could take its knife and use it directly!

In his right hand he held the snatched katana, and in his left hand he held the bamboo sword taken from the knife holder. The sense of security brought by the two katanas on his left and right made him suddenly want to look up to the sky and roar - he, he, he is invincible in the world!

He already felt it, this was his peak form!

Is this the feel of a proper katana?

Once used, it will become a shape that Brother Cleaver can never be satisfied with!

It was at this moment that Mizutani Makoto killed three people in a row, and his swordsmanship finally entered a whole new realm.

[Kendo Niten Ichiryu]: 1/5000 (Mastery)

His action of stepping on the apprentice seemed to have angered the other kendo apprentices in the dojo.

shhhhh--

The knife flashed brightly.

Mizutani Makoto held the two swords, keeping his thumb and index finger strong enough to slide on the hilt, pinching lightly with his middle finger, and holding the hilt tightly with the remaining two fingers.

This kind of strength is not considered to be tight, but it is not loose either. Instead, it is in a relaxed posture like in daily life.

It is mentioned in the Water Volume of the Five Rings Book that the spirit of Niten Ichiru is the spirit of "water".

Water is the foundation of human heart.

The human spirit should be like water. Water can change itself according to the shape of the container. Sometimes it flows like a gurgling stream, and sometimes it is like a roaring sea. Ertian Yiliu has the characteristics of being as clear and pure as water.

That is the "constant heart".

Whether in a duel or in daily life, one must remain calm and composed, not be impatient or irritable, and not be confused by one's own heart and lead to deviations when judging things.

Even if the mind is calm, the body cannot relax.

Even if the body is relaxed, the spirit should not be slack.

Don't let your body affect your spirit, and don't let your spirit affect your body.

Excessive laziness or excessive tension are both inappropriate and are manifestations of weak will.

Breathe in and out.

Mizutani Makoto raised his two swords, this was his true combat skill of the second highest rank.

For the first time, he used the "Eight-Character Stance" in actual combat with a katana.

Although his left hand is not a small sword, for Makoto Mizutani, who now has amazing arm strength, the center of gravity and weight of the two swords are more suitable.

Dodge, move, and step.

Finally - Flowing Water Slash!

The kendo apprentices rushed forward, and Mizutani Makoto, holding two swords, began the first kendo battle in his life.

Or rather.

Wandering dragon!

Chapter 60 Please go to the end of the world with your beloved.

cut! cut! cut!

Everything is cut!

Mizutani Makoto holds a knife, like a wolf among a flock of sheep. He swings his two knives to cut through the protective gear and cut off the flesh, which is extremely refreshing!

He was “killing”, “killing” madly!

Since practicing kendo, Mizutani Makoto has come to understand that "cut" and "chop" are different.

"Chopping" is nothing more than touching the enemy's body. Even if the chop is powerful and the enemy is killed, it is still just a simple "chopping".

However, "slashing" is a coordination of spirit and skill, and a reflection of the depth of kendo practice.
