Serizawa Kamo carefully arranged his gi. On the outside, this 22-year-old young man was full of a proud samurai temperament belonging to the gentry of this era. Even in the Shinto Muen-ryu dojo where all the lords came from, he was considered outstanding.
Character. It is hard to imagine that this is a swordsman who is famous for his ruthlessness, irritability, and cruelty.
He inserted both large and small swords and quietly waited in the dojo for the arrival of his companions.
The person who went to try it out today was an ancient sect called "Kanayama Kana-ryu". Although his martial arts might not be very strong, he was still somewhat famous among the many dojos in Edo. At least it was better than the ones he had challenged a few days ago.
The gym is much stronger. However, since this gym rejected his invitation to try out three times in a row, Serizawa Kamo has already lost his last bit of patience. In his opinion, this is undoubtedly a completely cowardly move!
It is the existence of such a school that is not worthy of the name that will cause the Japanese martial arts inheritance to weaken day by day! In this era of chaos that is about to begin, cowardice is the original sin. I will personally put an end to those cowardly schools until I am the only one left in Edo who is the Shinto Mu-Nen style.
until!
Serizawa Kamo has always thought so. But yesterday, this dojo finally sent someone to send a reply and agreed to the fourth trial tomorrow. I heard that this sect seems to have invited a senior master to sit in the sect. It is said that within the sect,
His status is higher than that of the owner Fuji Ohno, and it seems that he is planning to use it as the last trump card. Alas, why bother, it’s just one more cripple...
"Senior Brother Serizawa, are you here? Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." A young man who looked very clear and simple hurried over and kept bowing and apologizing to Serizawa Duck.
Humph, a country scholar was born as a country scholar, and even if he got the status of a samurai, he would still be an "asari". If the teacher hadn't asked him to take him with him to increase his knowledge, how could I have brought this guy with me! Serizawa thought dissatisfied.
He frowned, "That's so rude, Kogoro! If you're still late next time, go find the master and explain the reason yourself. I won't take you there again! Where's Tomura Teacher, why are you here alone?
?”
"I'm really sorry. Tomura Shihan said he would go to Sorayama to miss the Ryudokan first. I also went to see Shihan first, so I was late..." "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go." Serizawa Kamo said impatiently.
He interrupted Kogoro and strode forward.
He was very dissatisfied with the sect's arrangements. Even if he had a dragster, he also had to hire an old and incompetent teacher. He said it was to avoid conflicts during the trial and serve as a referee (referee), but in fact it was not.
Are you here to monitor yourself? Are you afraid that you will be like the previous challenges and seriously injure your opponent during the sparring session?
This is really unreasonable!
If I hadn't successively attacked those incompetent sects to the point of annihilation, there wouldn't have been so many new apprentices joining my Shinto Wu Nian style recently. I am the one who truly cares about the advancement of the sect! Master Yakuro Saito is good at everything.
Too weak! If I take over the sect...
In Serizawa Kamo's imagination, the two of them arrived at the gate of Kongshan Kianryu Dojo, and were already greeted by disciples of the sect. Although everyone knew that this trial match was actually a major event related to the life and death of the sect, this "violent tiger" also
The purpose is definitely not to compete in martial arts, but the etiquette must be maintained.
"Oh, you are here." Shinto Muen-ryu master Tomura Nosuke, who is the witness of this competition, said gently. Although as a referee, it is best to be a famous elder from another sect that both parties agree is most suitable.
But Tomura Nosuke was over fifty and had a reputation for being fair and selfless in the circle of Edo swordsmen, so Ohno Fuji happily agreed.
Serizawa Kamo and Kogoro took off their clogs at the entrance and walked barefoot into the martial arts hall.
Facing the angry gazes of Sorayama Kianliu, Serizawa Kamo not only didn't care, but looked around wildly, with a strong sense of ridicule in his expression.
He smiled arrogantly and said: "Oh hahaha, your sect finally agreed to my trial? Okay, okay, it is indeed a big sect with a heritage. After all, it is not like other sects. Don't worry, Master Ohno.
, even if the inheritance of your sect is cut off from today, I will still praise your sect’s bravery, hahaha, hahahaha!”
"Serizawa, stop talking." Tomura Nosuke bowed to Ohno Fuji apologetically, and immediately stopped Serizawa's arrogant behavior.
Ono Fuji glared at Serizawa Kamo, and Torataro jumped up and shouted: "Serizawa Kamo, how dare you be so rude! Today's first match will be fought by me, Kuzan Kyoushi-ryu master Hotarō Taro."
"Haha," Serizawa glanced sideways at Torataro: "You are not qualified yet, so there is no need to go to so much trouble. I heard that Master Onokan has superb swordsmanship and advanced cultivation, and is a rare master swordsman. Today I want to compete with him.
Your Excellencies are discussing with each other, I bet the curator will not be timid."
Before Ohno Fuji could speak, Torataro suppressed his anger and handed two wooden swords to referee Tomura's assistant, bowing and saying: "Teacher Tomura, please."
Tomura Nosuke looked at Ohno Fuji who was silent, and then at Serizawa Kamo who looked indifferent. He sighed and said: "This trial between the two factions is for the purpose of improving martial arts. We must not indiscriminately injure people."
Man. I would like to state here that I will announce the verdict during the competition. If someone draws a sword after I stop, then those who disobey the judgment will commit suicide in public... The competition cannot be a temporary one, and I hope that both parties will discuss it in a friendly manner...
"
After explaining the various rules of competition in public as usual, Tomuranosuke carefully inspected the two wooden swords used in the competition to confirm that there were no hidden sharp weapons before handing them over to the two of them. Everyone in the venue got out of the competition area and surrounded them.
Sitting around, staring wide-eyed at the competition that was about to begin.
Kazuyo Sorayama was not in the martial arts hall. Ever since his beloved sword, Captain Hikari, returned to his hands yesterday, he had carefully maintained his beloved sword over and over again.
In his opinion, the challenge of a high-level Shinto Muken-ryu disciple is not worthy of watching the battle in person. If the legendary swordsman Saito Yakuro comes in person, he may be interested in going to communicate and spar.
As for that Zeqinya? Among the famous swordsmen in the past, is there this person? Since he has never heard of him, he must be just a "nobody".
At this time, Sawa Serikamo, who was regarded as a nobody by Sorayama Kazuha, was holding a wooden sword in one hand, without any posture, and just stared at Torataro with contempt.
"Think you can escape with a wooden sword? You are naive! Although you are not using a real sword to compete in ancient times, the wooden sword is enough to break the bones and tendons of the angry-faced idiot in front of you. For the sake of old guy Tomura, originally
I just want to break one of your arms, but you will have to break another leg as the price for your rude words." Ze Qinya thought.
When Torataro saw the other party being so contemptuous, although he was furious, his actions became more cautious. He knew very well how cruel the man in front of him was!
Don't talk about yourself, even Master Ohno Fuji should not be an opponent. However, I hope that I can use my own sacrifice to let Master see the flaws in Serizawa Kamuo's attack habits and movements. If so, even serious injuries will be worth it.
Sorayama wanted to use the most important steps and body skills. Torataro was confident that even if he was defeated, he could at least hold on to a few more moves. He would never be defeated instantly!
