After simply washing his face a few times, Ozu returned to the dojo.
When Ogata ran out of the dojo to wash his face, a new round of competition had already begun in the dojo.
——Where should I sit...
Just when Ogata was worrying about where he should sit, a very familiar voice came into his ears:
"Senior, here."
Ogata followed the sound.
The person who spoke was the junior brother who had just competed with Ogata - Makino Bunshiro.
There happened to be an empty seat next to Makino.
Ogata walked quickly and knelt down next to Makino.
Just like the sword fight just now - the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling appeared again.
Before traveling through time, Ogata had never tried to sit on his knees.
At this time, just like breathing, he completed the kneeling posture next to Makino as easily and naturally as possible.
Ogata was already used to this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
"how?"
After kneeling down next to Makino, Oban smiled and asked Makino:
"Does your chest still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Makino rubbed his chest and continued to smile:
"Thanks to Senior's mercy, I no longer feel the pain after a little rest."
When he was swordfighting with Makino just now, Ogata restrained his force in time so as not to hurt Makino.
If the wooden sword had struck Makino firmly on the chest, Makino might not be able to kneel down next to Ogata and chat with Ogata like he is now.
Makino Bunshiro—one of Ogata Issei’s few close friends, one year younger than Ogata.
He and Ogata studied the Sakakihara Itto-ryu together, but because Makino became a disciple of Sakakihara Hanbei later than Ogata, he is Ogata's junior.
Because the two of them have a good relationship, they always discuss each other as they did just now.
However, because Makino's swordsmanship is worse than Ogata's, any sword duel with Ogata basically ends in Makino's defeat.
…
…
The two junior brothers briefly chatted for a few words and then stopped talking.
Makino looked attentively at the two brothers who were competing with each other in the center of the sword hall.
Ogata, on the other hand, pretended to watch the competition while secretly studying the system in his brain.
After silently chanting "system" a few times in his mind, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
[Name: Ogata Issei]
[Level: LV7:570/600]
[Personal attributes:
Strength:5
Agility:5
Reflex nerves: 5
Stamina:5
Vitality: 5]
[Martial Arts School:
Sakakihara Itto-ryu: 3rd stage: 420/500]
[Remaining skill points: 0 points]
【Sakakihara Itto-ryu (3 stages):
Climbing the stairs: Beginner
Waterfall: Intermediate
Bird Thorn: Elementary
Dragon Tail: Elementary]
The simple and easy-to-understand personal attributes interface is clear at a glance.
It's just that this person's attribute value makes Ogata want to complain.
——Strength, speed, reflexes, physical strength, and vitality. These five attributes are all 5 points. This attribute is too average...
After silently complaining about his own personal combat power with an average attribute of "5" in his heart, Ogata began to study the various items of this human interface seriously.
Ogata noticed that there was a small question mark at the end of some entries.
When Ogata focuses his attention on this small question mark, the question mark will turn into a virtual interface box, which will explain some basic information about the item.
For example, after Ogata focused his attention on the small question mark behind "level", the small question mark turned into a virtual interface box, which explained the use of levels to Ogata in simple sentences.
[You will gain experience points by defeating or killing enemies. The stronger the enemy you defeat or kill, the more experience points you will gain. The current level is level 7, and you will get 1 skill point for each level up]
Quite straightforward and easy to understand instructions.
——Skill points... What are the uses of skill points...
While Ogata said this to himself, he moved his eyes and looked at the small question mark behind the item "Remaining Skill Points".
[You can spend skill points to improve your personal attributes, or upgrade the level of each skill of each martial arts school]
[Each skill point spent can increase the ability value of a certain attribute by 1 point]
[Spend 1 skill point to unlock new skills of a certain martial arts school]
[Spend 1 skill point to upgrade the unlocked skills from "elementary" martial arts to "intermediate" martial arts, spend 2 skill points to upgrade the "intermediate" martial arts to "advanced" martial arts]
[Spend 4 skill points to upgrade "advanced" martial arts to "master-level" martial arts, spend 8 skill points to upgrade "master-level" martial arts to "grandmaster-level" martial arts]
This item has more explanation content, but it is also easier to understand.
——Martial skills...are you referring to the latter ones...
Ogata moved his gaze to the end of the personal attributes interface.
Currently, in this column of martial arts schools, there is only one martial arts school called "Sakakibara Itto-ryu", which means that Ogata only knows this martial arts school at the moment.
[Martial Arts School: When you use the skills of a certain martial arts school to defeat or kill an enemy, the experience value of that martial arts school can be increased. After the experience value is full, you can upgrade. The maximum level of each martial arts school is 15 levels, and each martial arts school upgrades one level.
, you can get 2 skill points.】
After reading the explanation of this entry, Ogata remembered that during the sword duel with Makino just now, when he knocked down Makino with the dragon tail of Sakakibara's Itto-ryu, he had indeed heard the words about gaining experience points from Sakakibara's Itto-ryu.
Ogata digested all the information he just learned.
——The highest level of martial arts is level 15, and the only martial art I know, "Sakakibara Itto-ryu", is currently only level 3... It seems that I still need to work hard to upgrade...
——The item on "Skill Points" just now said: Skill points can be used to upgrade the skill level of each martial arts school.
——Sakakibara's Itto style only has 4 moves: Dragon Tail, Tower Climb, Bird Stab, and Waterfall.
——Among these 4 moves, "Shui Luo" has the highest level, which is the intermediate level.
——The other 3 moves are all elementary.
——Heh, it's quite accurate. My body memory and the memory in my mind tell me: My best sword skill in Sakakibara Itto-ryu is "Waterfall".
——According to the description of the item "Skill Points" just now, I can spend 2 skill points to upgrade "Shui Luo" from intermediate to advanced.
——You can also spend 1 skill point to upgrade any of the three moves "Bird Sting", "Dragon Tail", and "Climb the Tower" from elementary to intermediate...
——Wow... It takes more than a dozen skill points to upgrade a certain sword skill from elementary to the highest master level...
——And my current skill points are...
——0 o'clock...
——Skill points are quite precious...
——Skill points can be used to improve personal attributes and sword skill levels.
——To upgrade a certain sword skill to the highest level, you need to spend a lot of skill points...
——To increase my personal attributes and turn me into a superman, it also requires a large amount of skill points...
After digesting all the information obtained from studying the system just now, Ogata came to the only conclusion - skill points are very important, and every skill point cannot be wasted.
…
…
"Senior, senior."
Makino, who was sitting next to Ogata, suddenly poked Ogata with his elbow.
"Makino, what are you doing?"
"Why do you have the nerve to ask me?" Makino cast a doubtful look at Ogata, "Senior, you are indeed a little unfocused today. Didn't you hear the master calling you? It's your turn to step forward to compete with the sword again.
Yes. Your opponent this time is very strong, so be careful."
