"Battle each other?!" Amachi's eyes widened, "What kind of traditional activity is this?"
"Beautiful lady, you heard me right, this is really our traditional activity." Vasily tugged on his beard, "In our country, there is a festival called 'Meat Lenten'."
"My men will all celebrate this festival because of their faith."
"According to our tradition, we will start Maslenitsa on the eighth week after the beginning of the new year."
"In the beginning, the Meat Shelen Festival was just about eating, drinking, having fun, and celebrating the departure of winter and the coming of spring."
"But I don't know since when, there have been more activities where men beat each other to their heart's content."
"Perhaps it's because everyone is too idle, so after someone started fighting to exert their energy, everyone followed suit, so it gradually became popular."
"Everyone only uses fists, and no dirty tricks are allowed. Fight each other as much as you want. Keep fighting until you can't fight anymore."
"Fighting each other with fists has become one of the important activities of our Maslenitsa."
Vasili smiled happily, as if this fighting activity was a particularly glorious activity.
"It's already mid-February, and it's almost the start of Maslenitsa."
"Although it's still a little early, my men and I can't help but celebrate the annual Maslenitsa in advance."
"...I still don't understand." Amachi whispered, "Why is there such a strange activity as 'men beating each other'... Isn't it easy to get injured if you engage in such activities?"
As a native Japanese woman, Amachi was completely unable to understand the significance of this event.
"Injured?" Vasily sneered as if he heard some funny joke, "If you are hurt, just be hurt. What's the big deal."
Vasili's nonchalant attitude towards being "injured" made the look of confusion on A-Ting's face become even more intense.
"So you still have this kind of activity..." Aiyaka murmured on the side.
"We only fight like this on Maslenitsa." Vasily shrugged.
"So you gathered outside the camp like this just to hold your fight?" Aiyaka looked at the group of his subordinates standing behind Vasily.
"That's right." Vasili nodded.
"You are free to do whatever you want." Aiyaka said in a slightly more serious tone, "As long as you don't cause trouble to our village."
"Don't worry." Vasili smiled, "We are measured."
"We're actually in a little trouble now."
"Including me, there are currently a total of 40 people staying in the camp."
"Originally I wanted to hold a 20-on-20 fist fight."
Vasili raised his hand and rubbed his hair.
"But now there is an unlucky guy who has a bad cold. He can't participate in the fist fight."
"The fighting activities on Meat Shelen's Day would be quite boring if the number of people on both sides is not equal. I have just been discussing with my subordinates what to do."
"The best solution to this problem is to find another person to top up the account."
"so--"
Vasili turned to look at Ogata.
"Brother, come and join our fist fight."
Vasily grinned.
"With you taking that unfortunate guy's place, we can have a 20-on-20 fist fight again."
"As long as you can come here and make up the numbers, I will tell you everything I know."
"How about it? Isn't this a good deal?"
Ogata has a complicated face now.
When Vasily explained to them what this "fighting activity" was, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen related videos in his previous life.
As early as in his previous life, Ogata had heard about this strange activity in Lucia Country.
Ogata did not expect that this kind of activity where men fight each other would turn out to be an activity with such a long history.
I never thought that I would have the opportunity to participate in such an event.
"...Is it enough that I just need to fight with you for one fight?"
"That's right." Vasily said in a half-joking tone, "We can't play too many games."
"...I understand." Ogata nodded, "Then I will participate in your activity that has lasted for thousands of years."
"Mashima." Ayaka cast a surprised look at Ogata, "Are you really planning to participate?"
"After all, everyone has said it." Ogata took out the Daishiten and Daizizao from his left waist and handed them to Amachi beside him, "You have to ask me to accompany them to participate in this event, so that they can tell what they know.
tell me."
"Hahaha. It seems that you are also a very cheerful person, little brother." Vasili smiled.
Seeing that Ogata really planned to participate in the fight, Ayaka said nothing more.
"Are there any rules?" Ogata asked.
"Different regions generally have different rules." Vasily said, "Our rule here is - you cannot use all kinds of dirty tricks, such as kicking gears, blowing sand, and lime."
"No feet."
"Don't attack others' vital points."
"Squatting down means surrender. Do not attack those who have surrendered."
"Just these 4 rules. That's it."
"Easy to understand, concise and clear." Ogata said softly.
"Are you ready?" Vasili asked.
Ogata nodded.
"Now that you're ready, come with me! After the fight, we can have lunch quickly!"
Aiyaka: "So you haven't had lunch yet?"
"Of course, if you eat first and get hit in the stomach, a very indecent scene may easily occur."
…
…
Ogata stood in a row with 19 other Lucians.
About 10 steps away from Ogata and the others, there was also a row of 20 people standing on the opposite side.
Two human walls with the same number of people stand opposite each other.
Vasili was standing next to Ogata at this time.
In other words, Vasili and Ogata are in the same camp.
Should it be said that it is a racial advantage? The Lucians standing next to Ogata, and the Lucians standing opposite Ogata, have an average height of about the same as Ogata, about 1.7 meters, 1
There are several of them with meters above 8 meters.
This kind of scene where a large group of people around him are about the same height as him - in Ogata's memory, this kind of scene seems to be the first time he has seen it since traveling to the Edo period.
Ever since Vasili just announced that the unlucky guy Ogata would replace them had a bad cold and couldn't participate in the fight, many of Vasili's subordinates had been looking at Ogata with strange eyes.
After the camps were assigned, people who stood opposite Ogata and belonged to Ogata's hostile camp kept saying nasty things to Ogata.
"That Japanese guy is so short! (Lucia)"
"Don't say that! That Japanese is already considered a taller one among the Japanese! (Lucia)"
"He seems to be very thin, and I don't know if his fist is strong enough. (Lucia)"
"Humph, I heard that Japan doesn't fight much now, so the Japanese probably rarely fight with fists! We have been fighting since childhood. I hope he won't be frightened by the fighting scenes later.
.(Lucian)”
People who were in the same camp as Ogata, although they did not ridicule Ogata as much as the people on the opposite side, they also whispered to the people around them that they were worried about Ogata.
"Do you think the Japanese invited by Vasili are reliable? (Lucia)"
"Who knows, Vasili probably just found someone to fill the bill. (Lucia)"
"I don't want to lose...(Lucia)"
"Didn't that guy have a sword on his waist just now? Since he can wear a sword, he should be a so-called 'samurai'. Since he is a samurai, he should not be a weak person. (Lucia language)"
"Who said that? I heard that Japanese samurai are now very corrupted, but it doesn't mean that every samurai is very strong. (Lucia)"
No matter whether it was the ridicule towards Ogata or the uneasiness towards Ogata expressed by people who were in the same camp as Ogata, they could not affect Ogata in the slightest.
Because——Ogata didn’t understand what they were saying at all.
Ogata guessed that the language they spoke was probably Lucian.
As for Lucian, Ogata only knows two sentences - Ura and Sukabule.
These two sentences were learned on the Internet in my previous life.
"Ula" has no specific meaning. It is a modal particle usually used to express strong emotions.
As for "Sukabule"...it's a dirty word in Lucian, and it's a very dirty word.
However, although he couldn't understand what the people on the other side and around him were saying, Ogata could feel it from the expressions and tones of the people around him - they should be saying some unfriendly words to him.
Ogata didn't care about this.
He just wanted to end the fist fight as soon as possible so that he could ask something from Vasili as soon as possible.
Therefore——Ogata silently pressed the knuckles of his fists and moved his eyes, scanning the faces of the Lucians in the row opposite one by one.
This is the way a hunter puts his prey in order.
…
…
Not long after the two sides lined up in two rows of human walls facing each other, Vasili, who belonged to the same camp as Ogata and was now standing opposite Ogata, shouted something to the other side.
Then there was a response from the wall of people on the opposite side.
After Vasily chatted with the person opposite him for a few words, he turned around and said something to the people who were in the same camp as him.
After he finished speaking, the Lucians around him all began to take off their clothes.
Before Ogata had time to show his doubts, Vasili next to him switched to Japanese and said to him:
"Mashima, take off your clothes. People in our row need to be shirtless."
"Shirtless?" Ogata raised an eyebrow, "Is it to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?"
"That's right."
"Isn't it unfair that we are shirtless and the other person is wearing clothes?"
"So for the sake of fairness, the other side also has to take off his clothes. He has to take off his clothes until only a single piece of clothing is left."
Ogata looked in front of him - as expected, the people in the row in front also started to take off their clothes.
Seeing this, Ogata said no more, raised his hands and pulled off the scarf around his neck, and began to take off his upper body clothes.
At this time, Amachi, who was standing not far behind Ogata, quickly walked up and took over the clothes that Ogata had taken off.
The only people watching this fight were Atachi and Aiyaka.
Ogata has fewer clothes on his body, and his kimono is easier to take off, so he is the one who can take off his upper body clothes the fastest.
After Ogata exposed his upper body, gasps of cold air could be heard from both around Ogata and across from Ogata.
There is no other reason - Ogata's upper body looks really scary.
There were criss-crossing wounds all over Ogata's upper body.
Cut wounds, penetrating wounds... there are various types of wounds.
The skin on the left side of Ogata's neck turned dark purple due to the "immortal poison", which also made Ogata's upper body look even more terrifying.
Whether they were people in the same camp as Ogata or people in Ogata's hostile camp, they couldn't help but stop everything they were doing and looked at Ogata in surprise.
Those who didn't say bad things to Ogata just now are fine.
The expressions of those who had spoken harshly to Ogata just now were more exciting than the last.
Even Vasili, who was standing opposite Ogata, was looking up and down at Ogata's upper body with horrifying wounds.
"Mashima, you have so many injuries..." Vasili swallowed, and after thinking for a long time, he could only think of this sentence, "I have seen a lot, but the scars are like this
This is the first time he has seen so many bodies..."
Ogata smiled.
"It's just a matter of going through hardships."
…
…
After Ogata revealed his upper body, the people opposite him immediately became quiet.
Those who had spoken harshly to Ogata just now even began to consciously avoid looking at Ogata.
He belongs to the same camp as Ogata, and those who questioned Ogata's strength just now have also shut up.
Soon, people on both sides took off their clothes.
The shirtless Ogata was standing in the center right of their row.
After everyone took off their clothes, Ogata looked at the opposite side, and then at the left and right sides - whether they were the enemy or his own people, they were all warming up and shouting something to cheer themselves up.
.
Although the weather today is pretty good, with warm sunshine falling and no biting wind.
But even so, according to Ogata's estimation, the current temperature here is only about 2 or 3 degrees.
In such low temperatures, it is really hard to bear without the upper body clothes.
Even Ogata, who has a high vitality value and is much healthier than ordinary people, still feels a little cold.
Ogata was like this, let alone the Lucians around him.
Ogata observed that many people were shivering slightly from the cold, but everyone was holding on and just continued to warm up to warm up their bodies.
"Mashima."
Vasili on the side suddenly said to Ogata.
"In our activity, we have to shout something before it starts."
I don't know if it was Ogata's misunderstanding, but he always felt that Vasili's tone seemed to have become more respectful.
"You can understand it as Kai Chengbai."
"Because you don't speak our language, you don't need to shout after us."
Ogata nodded.
After looking away from Ogata, Vasily said something loudly to the people around him.
Then people around started shouting.
Then Vasily said something to the other side.
Immediately afterwards, the people on the opposite side also shouted.
Vasily cleared his throat.
Then, he shouted as loudly as he could:
"Силаи честь! (Lucian: strength and honor)"
Every time Vasily shouted something, the people around him and across from him would loudly repeat what Vasily just shouted.
"Победаилисмерть! (Lucian: Victory or Death)"
"Одинзавсехи всезаодного! (Lucian: I am for everyone, everyone is for me)"
"Давайребят,вмажемпарням,убейтенахуй! (Guys! Come on!)"
After shouting the last words, Vasily took the lead, shouting and rushing towards the opposite side.
The people around him followed closely behind.
Because he didn't know what Vasili just said meant "Guys! Come on!", so Ogata was half a beat slow before charging with the people around him.
The wall of people on the opposite side also rushed towards them with neat steps.
The two human walls just rushed towards each other.
“%#￥*%#￥%&!(Lucian)”
“#%&*!(Lucian)”
“￥%#&%￥#*￥%#￥*%#￥%&!(Lucian)”
There were shouts and roars that Ogata couldn't understand coming from all around.
Both the Lucians from the same camp as Ogata and the Lucians from the opposing camp were shouting loudly.
Finally - two human walls collided.
Everyone catches each other and fights with each other.
"￥%#&%￥#*￥!" A very muscular man who happened to be standing opposite Ogata rushed towards Ogata while shouting something that Ogata couldn't understand.
This strong man's fist was almost half the size of Ogata's head.
Judging from his movements, this strong man seems to know a little bit about boxing.
After rounding his arms, the strong man brought his feet to his waist, punched with his belt, and swung his fists to hit Ogata hard.
Faced with the fist swung by the strong man, Ogata's response was to use a gentle movement like dodging a flying butterfly, turning his head to avoid the fist swung by the strong man.
fist.
Then, he rounded his right arm, aimed at the strong man's belly, and delivered a straight right punch.
The speed and power of his fist were far superior to the fist of this strong man just now.
Before the strong man could react, Ogata's fist struck the strong man's belly.
"Pfft, cough, cough, cough...!" The strong man was like a weak-legged shrimp, covering the spot where he had just been hit hard by Ogata's fist, and arched his waist.
After struggling several times, he slowly fell to the ground.
[Ding! Defeat the enemy]
[Get 35 personal experience points]
[At the current personal level, Ogata did not use any martial arts just now and only used ordinary boxing, so Ogata only gained experience points at the personal level.
The only unarmed fighting technique that Ogata knows is Shiranui-ryu jujutsu.
But this traditional activity of Lucia country can only use boxing, so Ogata cannot use Shiranui-ryu jujutsu.
Ogata doesn't know any boxing skills, and the only unarmed fighting skill he knows is still sealed.
But Ogata is not afraid to fight with others.
After all, the two principles of "one force can defeat ten enemies" and "the fastest will never break" are most vividly reflected in unarmed combat.
After knocking down the strong man in front of him with one punch, Ogata immediately made a mistake and found another opponent closest to him.
Just like before - another punch knocked the opponent to the ground.
With an agility value of 18 points, Ogata's fists are much faster than ordinary people.
With a strength value of 20 points, Ogata's fists are far more powerful than ordinary people.
With 15 points of reflex nerves, Ogata could easily dodge the fists of these people.
These people who were knocked down by Ogata's punch may never have thought that the man who punched them down actually withdrew a little strength and did not use his full strength.
Because he was afraid that if he used all his firepower, he would beat someone to death.
When Ogata killed the third Lucian with his fists, someone finally noticed Ogata and took the initiative to attack Ogata.
He is a tall man with a height of over 1.8 meters. He is just tall, and his arms are very long.
With his outstanding wingspan, the tall man landed a right hook on Ogata.
Ogata simply lowered his body to avoid the tall man's attack, and then aimed a simple straight punch at the tall man's belly.
Unexpectedly, this tall man could withstand Ogata's punch.
The tall man took a few steps back, retched a few times, steadied himself, then gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"Sukabule! (Lucian: bad guy)"
Ogata finally heard a Lucian sentence that he understood.
After the tall man cursed, he rushed towards Ogata again.
Although this tall man's courage and strength are commendable, in the face of the absolute lack of strength, all his efforts are of little use.
If one punch doesn't work, then try another punch.
Ogata was one step ahead of the tall man and punched him hard in the chest again.
This time, the tall man finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell heavily.
