Although Zhou Zhu, as the master of the Trial Guard Hall, was in charge of the Trial Guard Hall today, he had almost no involvement in teaching the apprentices.
The teaching work is basically handed over to Kondo Isamu. Shusuke basically just sits at the head of the dojo and watches the disciples practice. Only occasionally does he come out to correct the disciples' movements or assist Kondo Isamu in teaching swordsmanship techniques.
This is the first time Aoto received guidance from Kondo.
Kondo and Okita, who was responsible for teaching Aoto the last time, have completely different styles.
Okita's teaching style is "strict".
Tell you what to do and how to do it in a stern tone.
If you fail to do a good move somewhere, they will directly hit you with a bamboo sword - of course, the force will be very light and will not hurt the person.
Kondo's teaching style is "soft".
With gentle tone and movements, he will teach you step by step.
Even if you don't do something well, he won't hit people directly like Okita and hit people with a bamboo sword. He will patiently tell you where you didn't do it well, and then accompany you to slowly correct what you didn't do well.
action.
As the saying goes: a strict teacher makes a good disciple, Kondo's "gentle teaching" may not seem suitable for cultivating students at first glance, but in fact it is not.
Kondo is quite good at teaching, and can explain complex swordsmanship techniques in a very easy-to-understand manner in just a few words.
Under Kondo's guidance, Aoto finally learned a more advanced content today - the stance of holding a sword, and officially started teaching Aoto sword skills!
There are three basic sword-holding postures: upper, middle, and lower.
Upper stance: Hold the sword high above your head, a posture that focuses on attacking. However, because the sword is held high above your head, the door of your body is wide open, which is considered a sword-holding posture with weak defense.
Middle stance: Hold the knife in the middle of the body, point the tip of the sword diagonally at the enemy, and point the butt of the handle toward your belly. This is a more versatile posture for holding a knife. It can be used for both attack and defense. It is the most commonly used.
sword holding posture.
Lower stance: Place the sword lower, and aim the tip of the sword near the enemy's knees or even the ground. This is a defensive stance that is good at dodging but weak at attacking.
In addition to these three basic postures, there are also eight pairs, flat blue eyes and other variant postures.
Kondo and Aoto said: There are mainly four postures to practice in natural Rishin-ryu - upper, middle, lower and flat blue eyes.
Kondo first spent the morning teaching Aoto the four sword-holding postures. In the afternoon, he began to teach Aoto what he wanted to learn most quickly: sword skills that can be used to attack the enemy!
Ever since he joined the Trial Guard Hall, Qingdeng has been looking forward to learning specific sword skills as soon as possible.
After all, one of the purposes of his apprenticeship in the defense hall was to improve his swordsmanship and enhance his ability to protect himself.
The attack of the "radical anti-barbarians" may come again at any time. To effectively counter the "radical anti-barbarians" and protect one's own "offensive" sword skills, it is naturally better to learn them as soon as possible.
Seeing that Kondo was about to teach him sword skills, Qingto quickly concentrated his attention and listened carefully.
Kondo taught Aoto too many tricks in one go.
He only taught Qing Deng one move today - a stabbing technique called "Wu Ming Sword", also known as "Wu Ming Tu".
First use the middle part of the stance, lay the sword flat, and then thrust the sword while sending out Qi Kai - the action of this sword skill seems very simple at first glance, but the simpler the action looks, the more individual the sword skill looks.
There are more middle ways.
After teaching Aoto this move, Kondo asked Aoto to spend the entire afternoon practicing this "Sword of Ignorance" move.
Finally, he no longer had to learn the basic movements of Su Zhen and drawing and retracting his sword. Instead, he could learn specific sword skills, and Qing Deng's motivation was ignited.
Throughout the afternoon, he stood in a corner of the dojo, practicing the "Sword of Ignorance" technique without any distractions.
In addition to practicing, Qingden did not forget to copy his talent.
There were many new faces coming to the dojo today who had not yet sparred with them.
Qingdeng saw the opportunity and invited these new faces to discuss in various ways.
He had good luck today - perhaps it was because Qingtou's outstanding performance in the competition with Shusuke and Kondo earned everyone's respect. Almost everyone Qingtou found today
, all readily accepted Qingdeng’s “invitation to discuss.”
But unfortunately...after competing with all the new faces he had never seen before, the mechanical system sound never sounded in Qingdeng's mind again...
…
…
That day, in the evening——
Hatchobori, Aoto's home——
"Kyuubei! I'm back!"
Qingto was in a good mood, humming a cheerful tune while forcefully opening the door, and then announced his return to the Kyuubei inside.
Today, Qingteng did the same as the day before yesterday. He practiced swordplay in the trial defense hall until the sunset was beautiful, and then returned home at dusk.
Today is another day of fruitful return from the Trial Guard Hall.
Qingdeng now feels more and more that the Trial Guard Hall seems to be a place of crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Although the sword hall is not large, there are strong men with powerful talents one after another.
I have only practiced Heavenly Sword for 2 days in the Trial Guard Hall, and I have successively acquired the talents of Sword Yicai, Gudan, and Eagle Eye, which are all suitable for Qingdeng, who is still very weak now.
Receiving powerful talents one after another made Qingden feel so happy that he felt that his physical strength had been reduced a lot.
However - just when Qingdeng happily opened the door of his house, entered the house and was about to take off his straw sandals, Qingdeng suddenly froze.
Because he suddenly discovered that there were two more pairs of unfamiliar shoes at the door of his house...
"Ah, young master, are you back?"
Jiubei rushed out of the back room with a tea tray in his arms.
"Young Master, you came back just in time! There are guests coming!"
Qingdeng frowned slightly: "Guest? Who?"
"It's Mr. Arima, and there's a young man I don't know! They two just came, saying they're here to see you!"
"Arima-sama, there is another young man?" Aoto couldn't help the astonishment on his face. He took off the straw sandals on his feet and handed the sword on his waist to Kubei.
"Where are they two now?"
"I invited them all into the living room."
"good."
Qingdeng took three steps at a time and ran towards the living room which was not far from the door.
Opening the paper sliding door of the living room, Arima's figure, with his neck and waist always at a 90-degree angle to the ground, standing on the tatami like a statue, came into view.
What also caught Qingto's eyes was a strange figure sitting cross-legged next to Arima...
"Tachibana-kun, you're back." Arima showed a faint smile to Aoto who opened the door and walked in.
"Arima-sama, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay, we've just arrived not long ago. Tachibana-kun, I heard from Kyubei that you went to the sword hall where you recently became a disciple to practice swordsmanship today. You are very diligent, how about it? You are still practicing swordsmanship.
went well?"
"Hmm... not bad."
While Aonto was exchanging simple greetings with Arima, he slowly walked to the opposite side of his boss and knelt down on the ground.
"Uh... Lord Arima, who is this?" As soon as he sat down and exchanged greetings with Arima, Qingto immediately gestured impatiently to the young man sitting next to Arima.
Qingden didn't recognize this young man at all, who seemed to be 1 or 2 years younger than him.
When Qingdeng first entered the living room, this strange young man immediately caught Qingdeng's attention.
The reason why Qingdeng's attention was attracted was not because of this guy's striking appearance.
It's because of his sword.
The young man wears two samurai swords, one long and one short, on his waist, which shows that he is a samurai.
Generally speaking, samurai's swords are hung on the left waist, because only in this way can it be convenient for right-handed samurai to draw their swords.
As for this young man, his sword is worn on his right waist...
"Oh, he... Saito, please introduce yourself."
"...No leakage." The young man said softly in a cold tone without sadness or joy, "Saito Ichi."
"Tachibana-kun, this is the bodyguard that I, Ushiyama, and Inoya have hired for you to protect you."
"bodyguard?"
