Chapter 16 Talent is the ability to do whatever you want (1)
Qingden looked at Kondo and Okita not far away.
"The relationship between Kondo-kun and Okita-kun and that Hijikata Toshizo is as good as that of real brothers... No wonder they were wondering whether Kondo-kun should go visit Hijikata Tozozo alone, or whether they should go back to visit Hijikata Toshizo together.
Quarreling there..."
"You have just mentioned four of the 'Five King Kongs', but what about one more? Who is the last 'King Kong'?"
"The last 'King Kong'..." Suzuki's face turned into a bitter look, "The last 'King Kong' is the most troublesome person in our trial defense hall, and also the most terrifying person."
"That person is our master's wife - Kondo Pen."
[Note: In Japan, after a woman marries, she will change her husband's surname. For example, "Mai Shiranui" will change her name to "Mai Souma" after marrying "Sou Yume Minoru"]
"Master's wife?" Qingdeng exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yeah. Master's temper is really outrageous."
Suzuki shrank his neck as if recalling some unbearable memory.
"Let me tell you something that is well-known in our training hall - the master is quite afraid of his wife. Even though he is very old, he is still controlled by her."
"The young master is also very afraid of his mother."
"So the father and son were often scolded by their master to such an extent that they didn't even dare to breathe."
"So we often discuss in private: the real head of the imperial examination hall is neither the master nor the little master, but the master."
——Are you afraid of your wife... Sure enough, no matter which country or era you are in, there will always be "hep-control"...
After complaining like this in his mind, Aonto silently wrote down the names of Hijikata Toizo and Kondo Bi that Suzuki mentioned just now.
At this time, the quarrel between Kondo and Okita finally ended.
Kondo looked as usual.
Okita, on the other hand, had a slumped face.
The expressions on the two men's faces had already announced who had won the quarrel between them.
Kondo led the unhappy Okita back to Aoto and others.
"As you just heard, Ah Sui was injured in a fight. I want to go to Tama to see him."
Kondo didn't know that Aoto had just found out who Hijikata Tozo was through Suzuki's mouth, so he now specifically explained to Aoto:
"Ah Sui is one of the disciples of our trial defense hall, and he is also a close friend of mine. Now he got injured in a fight, and I can't turn a blind eye to him."
"I won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Before I come back, the Trial Guard Hall will be temporarily handed over to the General Director to take care of and take care of."
From the corner of his eye, Qingto suddenly noticed that after Kondo finished speaking, the expressions of Suzuki and others changed slightly, with a hint of bitterness appearing on their cheeks.
"Souji." Kondo turned his attention to Okita at this time, "I will leave the trial training hall to you for the time being. I will be back as soon as possible."
"I still want to go see Mr. Hijikata with you..." Okita smacked his lips.
"Soji." Kondo said with a straight face, "Don't be willful."
"……knew."
…
…
After explaining some matters to Okita, Aoto and others, Kondo quickly picked up his saber and left the trial defense hall quickly with the strong man named Xiaoliu.
Watching Kondo leave, Qingden's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
He originally planned to have a good comparison with Kondo today to see if he could copy any talents from him, but who knew that such an accident would happen.
The more capable a person is, the greater the possibility that he or she has special talents.
Ayoto believes that compared to ordinary people, Kondo, who is already a teacher in a sword academy at a young age, is undoubtedly much more likely to have special talents.
--no solution anymore.
Qingdeng explained to himself in his heart.
——I can only wait until the next time I come to the sword training hall to practice swordsmanship, and then have a good battle with Kondo-kun. I hope that Kondo-kun will not happen to be away from the sword hall for some reason...
While Qing Teng was muttering secretly in his heart, Okita kept curling his lips and looking at the direction Kondo was leaving with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
After a long while, Okita slowly retracted his gaze, and then turned his gaze to Qingto and others.
"Did you all hear what Brother Kondo said just now?"
Okita put his hands behind his back. He was petite and made such an action, which gave him a weird and funny feeling.
"I am currently responsible for managing the Trial Guard Hall."
"That is to say - until Brother Kondo comes back, I will guide you all!"
"Then, without further ado, let's start today's practice!"
"Ah..." Suzuki, who had a bitter look on his face, twitched the corner of his mouth and murmured, "Should Okita-kun guide us..."
Suzuki-kun's volume was very low, and Okita didn't hear his murmur.
But Aoto, who was standing next to Suzuki, heard it.
"Is Okita-kun's teaching skills not good?" Qingto asked in a low voice, "Why did you all change your expressions just now when you heard that Okita-kun was going to temporarily manage the training hall?"
"No...it's not that Okita-kun's teaching skills are not good." Suzuki responded in a low voice, "Rather, it's the exact opposite. He is very good at teaching. It's just that he...is a bit...too strict in teaching swordsmanship.
…”
"Too harsh?"
"Well... Anyway, you will know what I mean by 'too harsh' later..."
Just when Suzuki finished speaking——
"Suzuki-kun!"
"Here!" Suzuki quickly stopped talking and stood up straight.
"Just now, after watching the contest between you and Tachibana-kun, I found that there are many areas where you need to improve." Okita said sternly, "For example, your knife-wielding stance."
"You still haven't mastered the basic sword-holding stance of Natural Rishin-ryu - Ping Aoyan."
"So today you will mainly practice flat blue eyes."
"Go and get the sword. Get me a bamboo sword by the way."
"Yes!" Suzuki quickly took down two bamboo swords from the sword holder next to him, handed one to Okita, and kept the other in his hand.
"Now show me your eyes."
"Yes!" Suzuki immediately followed the instructions, picked up the bamboo sword in his palm, and assumed a rather peculiar sword-holding posture.
"Don't step so hard with your right foot! Don't hold the sword so tightly either! Relax your strength!"
"yes!"
"My hands are still too hard, please relax a little more!"
"yes!"
"Why did your left foot suddenly rise?" Okita waved the bamboo sword in his hand and lightly tapped Suzuki's left calf, "Lower it a little, lower it a little lower! I told you to lower it!"
Snapped!
Okita swung his sword and struck Suzuki on the left calf again, this time with a slightly heavier force than before.
"yes!"
"Why is it that when you lower your left foot, the bamboo sword also lowers?"
"Yes! Sorry!"
…
…
The three apprentices who came to practice swordsmanship with Suzuki seemed to have become accustomed to such a scene, and they cast somewhat sympathetic glances at Suzuki who was being "trained" by Okita.
Qingto, who was seeing this scene for the first time, couldn't help but look at Okita in astonishment, who was completely different from just now.
The Okita just now was a cheerful and handsome boy with a refreshing smile on his face.
And now Okita...
For some reason, looking at Okita now, Qingto couldn't help but recall the bald instructor who had a gold chain around his neck and wore sunglasses all the time when he was learning to drive in his previous life...
(You idiot, can you stop touching the handbrake with your damn hand?! That’s right! Lower the handbrake! Lose! You have no brain?)
Even now that I have traveled through time, the bald coach’s sincere and sincere teachings shouted out in standard Guangpu are still in my ears...
The only difference between Okita now and the bald coach is probably that Okita doesn't know how to swear.
At this moment, Qingto's mind recalled what Suzuki had just said to him——
(Anyway, you’ll know what I mean by “too harsh” later.)
