Female Swordsman Training Dojo

Hugs and kisses.

After drooling for a while, Hosho Amu leaned against Harunobu's chest and said, "Didn't the teacher say that the dojo is short-staffed right now? I was thinking if we could use the people from the Hosho Dojo."

Hosho Amu spoke somewhat hesitantly, because it sounded like she was asking Harunobu to help the Hosho Dojo. Although she didn't mean it that way, she simply wanted to help Harunobu, who had been bringing up manpower issues lately.

Sensing Hosho Amu's slight worry, Harunobu pinched the muscular thigh under his hand: "That's exactly what I was going to talk to you about. And it's not just the Hosho Dojo, I plan to use the other dojos in Asakusa, Shitaya, Fukagawa, and Honjo districts as well."

"It's time for the Bracers Association to open a branch."

Hojo Amu looked up at the confident and spirited Harunobu, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

She liked how happy Harunosu looked.

So she couldn't help but kiss him again, while her right hand went down and grabbed Harunobu's sword.

Chapter 215: The Unofficial Transmission of Seishin

When Harunobu and Amu Hosho arrived at the Hosho Dojo, it was already past 1 p.m.

After all, this was a rather important matter, so Harunobu still consulted with Hirako, Yuzu, and the kitten, and then, naturally, he couldn't resist asking them for advice.

After all, judging by the timeline, they were newlyweds, in the prime of their marriage. Yet, there were a bunch of other people vying for their attention, making their already precious relationship even more difficult to savor, requiring them to rack their brains and find every spare moment to enjoy it.

Even disciples who weren't particularly interested in this kind of thing, under the influence of this atmosphere, saw Qingxin and their eyes practically popped out with pink hearts, just like when they saw a hungry wolf with raw flesh and blood.

It's only because Qingxin was enhanced; otherwise, he might not have been able to feed all those dozens of wives, let alone survive to this day.

Taking the bus is not only a technical skill, but also a physically demanding job.

With a sigh, Harunobu led Hosho Amu into the Hosho Dojo.

It was lunchtime, and the disciples of Baosheng Dojo gathered in twos and threes on one side of the dojo, eating their bento boxes or snacks while chatting and occasionally letting out meaningful laughs.

What a simple, joyful scene! Compared to his family members who only gather together to discuss how to play with him... well, Harunobu still prefers the atmosphere at home.

"Master Ping, Miss Baosheng."

A man named Ito Shoichi, who had been beaten up by Harunobu before, came forward and looked at Harunobu with great interest. "Are you here to visit the teacher's college? He's resting in the inner room..."

Ito Shoichi led Harunobu towards the living quarters behind the dojo, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat hesitant: "Um, Master Taira, if I may be so bold as to ask, was the dragon you slayed really thirty meters long?"

"Approximately?" Harunobu wasn't sure either. Vortigern's body had shrunk considerably after his death, making it difficult to determine his size during the battle.

Amu Hosho picked up where he left off, affirming, "It's far more than thirty meters!"

"Amazing! No wonder he's a Dragon Slayer!"

Having just celebrated his birthday, Ito Shoichi, who was exactly thirty years old, exclaimed excitedly. Judging from his expression, if it weren't for the fact that they were in public and Hojo Amu was holding Haru...

Chapter 237

He was so eager that he was practically lunging at Qingxin to ask for the details. And it wasn't just him; the other disciples who were taking their lunch break were also listening intently and casting eager glances at Qingxin.

Even the former beauty of the Hosho Dojo, Amu Hosho, has been neglected by them.

That's like slaying a dragon!

The great feat of slaying a dragon with his sword—though it was a Western dragon and slightly less impressive—but Hiraharu is only twenty-four years old, or twenty-five even if you count the traditional Chinese age reckoning!

Those who diligently hone their swordsmanship in the dojo every day are swordsmen with a passionate heart for swordsmanship and a desire to become stronger. Encountering a young swordsman like Harunobu, a true hero witnessed by countless people slaying a dragon, is like a dog encountering... cough, like Cao Cao encountering Guan Yu, or a fading man encountering Toretto—they simply cannot control their excited hearts and trembling hands.

As for Miss Hosho Amu?

You know, we have a good relationship, she's a very nice woman, but I can't wait to exchange swordsmanship experiences with Master Hei. I wish her well at the Blue Sky Hall... um?

Following Ito Shoichi, who had begun rambling incoherently, Harunobu and Hosho Amu found Hosho Ichijo, who was drinking and listening to music in the living room. The latter stood up in surprise, turned off the slowly spinning gramophone, and looked at Hosho Amu.

Ultimately, the father still loved his daughter dearly.

Qingxin thought for a moment, then Baosheng asked, "Qingxin, just how big was the demonic dragon you killed?"

"..."

It's confirmed, they are her biological child.

Harunobu and Hosho Amu sat down opposite Hosho Ichijo, while Ito Shoichi went to a small room next door to prepare tea and snacks. Taking this opportunity, Harunobu whispered, "Lord Hosho, I'd like to discuss the matter of the Jatsukushi with you."

After all, he's my father-in-law, so I should address him with some respect. Just like how Hosho Ichijo now affectionately calls Harunobu by his name.

Baosheng's burning thirst for knowledge flickered for a moment, then subsided. He then called out loudly, "Zhengyi, we're out of matcha. Go to Granny Sweetie's and buy some."

"Yes, Teacher!" Ito Masakazu answered loudly, somewhat reluctantly, and left the inner room after placing the tea and snacks on the table.

Hosho Ichijo trusted his good apprentice very much, but the matter they were about to discuss involved too much of Tokyo, so it was best to keep it a secret from as few people as possible. This was not only about protecting the secret, but also about protecting Ito Shoichi.

"Please speak, Harunobu, has anyone discovered anything?"

Harunobu shook his head: "No, I plan to have the Hosho Dojo start teaching the Fangtu series of moves as payment for inviting the Hosho Dojo's disciples to join the Bracer Guild."

Harunobu's words were truly shocking, even Hosei Ichijo was stunned. After a long while, he raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eye: "Harunobu, I can't repay you for what you've done."

Although Harunobu's words sounded nice—that he would offer to teach the Fang-Tsukuru series of moves as payment for inviting the Hosho Dojo disciples to join the Bracer Guild—joining the Bracer Guild was already a benefit!

In Asakusa Ward, the name "Guardians" is now universally praised. There are even cases where people don't go to the police when they encounter problems, but instead go to the Guild of Guardians to file a request—otherwise, Aozorakan wouldn't be so overwhelmed.

This popularity naturally brings in considerable income, not just commission fees, but also reputation and public support... It sounds absurd, but it really is a significant source of income. Most people prefer to be respected and trusted, rather than being gossiped about behind their backs.

Even before Qingxin slayed the dragon, some dojos had already begun to imitate his methods. However, limited by their strength and legal principles, the number of commissions they could undertake was limited. Even with more manpower than the Qingkong Dojo, their efficiency was still inferior to the Qingkong Dojo.

After Harunobu slayed the dragon, the Bracer Guild far surpassed its many imitators. It has now become an enviable career choice for many samurai and swordsmen.

Becoming a Bracer is like embarking on a smooth road to wealth and fame!

"You can't say that. Being a guerrilla isn't a safe job, especially as more people are deployed. Those dirty guys might just band together and launch a counterattack."

"Dad, let's trade the Forging Technique for it." Amu Hosho chewed on her red bean daifuku, looking every bit the traitor. "That would be considered an equal exchange, and then how about we give Harunobu a license to keep the association secret?"

For various reasons, Harunobu had previously promoted the Yatoku series of Mugairyu sword techniques as a specialty of the Hosho Dojo, and had only taught it to Hosho Amu. Therefore, from the outside perspective, Yatoku was a secret sword technique developed by the Hosho Dojo—so if Harunobu wanted to use it openly, he would have better have some assistance.

"Hmm... I'm fine with that, but if I do that, some idiots will use their seniority to talk nonsense about Harunobu." Hosho Ichijo frowned as he thought of some of the idiots in his school.

“Then let’s grant him an honorary exemption.” Amu Hosho casually suggested something that had never been done before. “Anyway, Harunobu’s strength is not something that could tarnish the school’s reputation. Plus, with the new sword technique and the Bracer Association, they should be begging Harunobu to get this exemption!”

Baosheng was stunned again, then the more he thought about it, the more he realized that she was indeed his daughter! She was so smart!

"Okay! I'll go write the exemption certificate for Qingxin right now!"

As Hosho Ichijo spoke, he actually stood up and strode towards the study. Harunobu, whose speech had been interrupted by the father and daughter, chewed on his matcha daifuku and pinched Hosho-san's smooth cheek.

"You're being way too direct."

Hosho Amu patted her chest, swallowed the daifuku in her mouth, and said matter-of-factly, "Harunobu, you've already suffered a great loss. If you can't even get a license, you might as well go to another company."

The dashing female warrior couldn't bear to see her husband suffer a loss.

Therefore, Harunobu didn't want to see his beloved wife suffer: "Then what about your main family?"

“Those guys are very opportunistic, so you don’t need to worry about them at all, my husband.” When it comes to the intricacies of different sword styles, Hojo Amu knows far more than Harunobu, who is a single-lineage practitioner, and she explained the problem in a single sentence.

"If all else fails, let the disciples of Baosheng Dojo switch to practicing the 'Outer Sword' of the Natural Sunshine Style."

Thinking about his own Thunder Sword, Water Sword, and Swift Sword... Harunobu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Then why don't we just establish the Hosho Mugae-ryu? With the Yajutsu in hand, the Hosho family might as well become the head family of Mugae-ryu."

Snapped.

Harunobu and Hosho Amu keenly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hosho Ichijo standing at the door, with a scroll of unregistered license lying in front of him, the ink still wet.

The author says:

Author's Note: First of all, Horned Knight, I'm so annoyed. Lightning Cyclone as a basic attack, huh?! Secondly, Lion Dancer, I'm so annoyed. Its twisting is even more overpowered than the Corrupted Tree Spirit, and it spits! And its spit even changes attributes! Finally, Twin Moons, I'm going to fuck you!! Although you hit me like a stray dog, you're so elegant. The second phase's double ice and fire attack gave me endless surprises, and Twin Moons' full-screen spell bombardment really got me all worked up. I hereby unilaterally declare Sulyvahn's nickname as Little Twin Moons! Also, I really don't recommend starting a new game to play the DLC. Without 40 HP, you can't even withstand one hit in the DLC. I've already given up and started a second playthrough with my main account ( ) Eat my fingerprint shield and a mountain of corpses! Last but not least, the first blessing at the DLC entrance is to the left, where there's an unnamed shrine with a left-hand bow boss. Defeating it gives you a full set of medium armor, cool! Tough! -- Okay, I got a little excited and said a lot. In short, the Ring of Law DLC is really fun.

Chapter 216: Now we have no choice but to split up.

Bao Sheng, now seated, had a glint in his eyes that was almost piercing. His expression betrayed his excitement, which he couldn't contain despite his efforts to control it.

Crazy mother's mouth

Chapter 238

The upward movement.JPG

Clearly, he was very interested in the discussion between Harunobu and Hosho Amu... Should we say that no one knows a father better than his daughter, or that a tiger father has no dog daughter?

In short, birds of a feather flock together.

Harunobu looked at the scroll of exemption in front of him with a sigh. It was already signed by Hosho Ichijo and stamped with the official seal of the Hosho Dojo. So from now on, he could freely teach the Mugae-ryu—although it seemed that this thing had become unnecessary at lightning speed.

After all, judging from Hosho Ichijo's demeanor, he seems to be ready to replace him. But just to be on the safe side, let's keep him.

Qingxin put the license-free scroll into his pocket and tapped the table: "Anyway, is the open source stream really okay?"

With a sudden sense of relief, Bao Sheng stroked his beard and said, "Of course not, in fact, this is how it should be done! Why should you teach those old fogies the secret sword you developed!"

Harunobu glanced helplessly at Hosho Amu, who returned the same helpless look. She hadn't expected her father to be even more radical than her... no, it seemed he had always been this kind of person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved with Aozorakan and Harunobu in the first place.

Although the outcome is actually quite good now, if there had been even a slight mistake back then... Thinking of Harunobu's methods in dealing with the Demon Dragon Society, Hojo Amu suddenly felt like she had escaped a disaster.

I've decided. When I get back today, I'm going to squeeze as much reassurance back from him as possible.

Fortunately, Hosho Ichijo quickly calmed down. After all, he was a master of mental control, and although he was beaten up by Harunobu, he still had basic self-control.

So he took the initiative to explain to Harunobu, who was still a little confused: "Harunobu, now that you have mastered the power of your mind, you should have noticed that the same swordsmanship will undergo different changes and produce different powers under the different mental commands."

Qingxin nodded. Since recovering from his illness, aside from necessary work, he had been studying his own thoughts and discovered that, as expected, they were completely different from those of others.

Take the Thunder Breathing technique, which she uses most often, for example. When Hirako uses it, it's like the Thunder God descending to earth. Not only does it have a terrifying majesty and a realistic thunderous sound, but an exaggerated phantom image of a god also appears behind her.

Amu Hosho's Thunder Breathing, however, is a completely different style, characterized by extreme speed and precision. It lacks the "flashy" techniques of Yukiko Taira, delivering a single strike like lightning tearing through the sky. The enemy may not even hear the belated thunderous roar, as if announcing death, until after being struck.

As for Tachibana Nako, we won't discuss her Thunder Breathing since she's not yet proficient enough. In any case, judging from her Water Breathing, it's definitely quite different from the two mentioned above.

Just like Harunobu's own, it's completely different. His Thunder Breathing, enhanced by his mental focus, leans more towards Hojo Amu's style, but there are still obvious differences.

He wasn't as extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless; instead, he became more "rounded." To give an example, the original Thunder Flash was a straight, explosive charge, which was difficult to adjust after use. At most, it could be like an X-combo, using brute force to make turns and moves.

But now he can use his mind to change his moves at will, or even switch to other moves directly—meaning he can cancel and derive moves at will midway through a move.

This is the difference between Mindset: Naruto, Mindset: One Heart, and Mindset: Protector.

"Therefore, as more and more people master the same sword technique, ideological differences will gradually arise. Different sword styles will inevitably affect the sword movements and methods, and eventually a split will occur. There are several types of splits, but the worst kind of life-or-death struggle is now rare. However, peaceful separations and sharing the same school's name are also rare, because it is not conducive to recruiting disciples."

"In the end, one side will leave and establish a new school." Hosho Ichijo paused, looking at Harunoto, "Just like Tennen Harushin-ryu is to Tennen Rishin-ryu, and Tennen Rishin-ryu is to Katori Shindo-ryu."

Yes, the first generation of Tennen Seishin-ryu did indeed learn swordsmanship from Tennen Rishin-ryu, just as the founder of Tennen Rishin-ryu was a disciple of Katori Shinto-ryu.

"That being said, generally speaking, not many samurai would think about creating their own school now, because it's really difficult to recruit disciples. And samurai can't just use things like challenging other schools or sword hunting to enhance their reputation these days."

Harunobu sighed: "So now that we have the hype surrounding the Dragon Slayer Swordsman to ride, this little thing isn't a problem anymore, right?"

Although he didn't understand what "hot topic" meant, Baosheng understood the word "riding the coattails" and immediately nodded without hesitation: "Yes, it's all thanks to Harunobu. If you don't want to, that's fine too. With the Fang Tu as a bargaining chip, even without the great benefit of the Bracer Association, the Saito family will honestly admit it."

"Speaking of which, the main family of the Mugae-ryu school during the Edo period was not the Saito family. It's just that Saito Hajime was too strong at the end of the Edo period, so the main family of the Mugae-ryu school changed."

Harunobu glanced at Hosho Ichijo; this guy doesn't even refer to himself as the main family anymore, he just calls himself the Saito family now...

Well, if what Baosheng said is true, then this does seem to be a better choice.

As for how to determine whether what he said was true or false, Qingxin happened to have a way.

If what Hosho Ichijo said is true, then the samurai of other dojos must know the same information. He just needs to ask the other dojos when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Harunobu said to Hosho Ichijo, "Then let's prepare like this. By the way, regarding the Bracer Association, I plan to unite the dojos in the four districts of Asakusa, Shitaya, Fukagawa, and Honjo. Could you please help me make the contact, Hosho-sama?"

"Dojos from all four districts together?" Hosho Ichijo was startled. "The Goken's jurisdiction isn't that wide, is it?"

Harunobu said nonchalantly, "So you're helping us under the guise of the Special Higher Police? What do you think of the name 'Special Investigation Division'?"

The names are fine, but is it really okay to arrange them so casually? Besides, the number of civil servants in Japan is limited, right? It's one thing for an honorary section chief to have a few dozen female police officers under him, but does he really want to have hundreds of them?

Speechless at Harunobu's nonchalant attitude, Hosei Ichijo did not object and readily agreed to the errand.

While it's true that this is errand running, it depends on who you're running the errand for and what the purpose is. For example, when Harunobu allows Hosei to use his name to invite other dojo masters, doesn't that make him appear as Harunobu's man in their eyes?

Although he already had the title of father-in-law, the couple hadn't officially held a wedding ceremony or registered their marriage, so it felt somewhat incomplete. Not to mention, Ping Qingxin had previously kicked down the signboard of the Baosheng Dojo, so whether he truly accepted this father-in-law was another matter entirely.

But now it's different.

Bao Sheng didn't even want to take a lunch break and immediately got up: "I'm going to find those old fogies right now!"

Those people are about your age, right?
