After Toyama and the other disciples left, Ishikawa soldiers headed in the direction they left.
Then he let out an exhausted sigh.
…
…
After the disciples followed Yuan Shan and left the dojo, everyone immediately gathered around and said to Yuan Shan:
"Senior Yuanshan! Are we really just letting it go?!"
"I'm not willing to do it! If today's incident is just revealed, I won't be willing to do it!"
"Senior Toyama! We must find a way to avenge that Ogata Issei!"
"Not avenging today's revenge would really be beneath the dignity of our warriors!"
…
Everyone was noisy there.
As if Yuan Shan was annoyed by their noise, he shouted:
"Everyone was disturbed!"
Although Toyama is not the most senior person among the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall.
But he is the most popular among them.
Even the senior brothers from the distant mountains always follow the lead of the distant mountains.
As soon as Yuan Shan shouted loudly, everyone immediately shut their mouths obediently
"Of course the shame that Ogata brought to us today cannot just go away!"
"I must take revenge!"
"But not now!"
"It doesn't matter even if the master doesn't let me seek revenge on Ogata in private!"
"Anyway, the God Sacrifice Competition will begin soon!"
"Ogata is the leader of the Sakakihara Kenkan's in-house competition."
"And this year I will once again represent the Ishikawa Kenkan in the God Sacrifice Competition!"
After hearing Yuan Shan's words, everyone woke up one after another.
Then everyone showed excitement.
God-sacrifice competition - this is an excellent stage for Yuanshan.
A perfect stage for revenge.
A ferocious shadow appeared on Yuanshan's face.
Not only did Ogata commit adultery with his wife, but he also injured so many of his fellow apprentices today - all the old and new grudges were added together, and Toyama only had one feeling left for Ogata: the intention to kill.
"Don't worry, let Ogata be proud for a while longer."
"In the God Sacrifice Competition in one month, I will definitely cut off Ogata's head with my own hands!"
…
…
After walking out of the Ishikawa Kenkan, I felt tired immediately.
Fatigue wrapped Ogata tightly like a wet rag.
When Ogata challenged the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan just now, his nerves had been in a highly tense state, and his perception of negative emotions such as fatigue and pain had become dull.
It wasn't until now when he walked out of the Ishikawa Kenkan and his nerves relaxed that Ogata realized how tired he was.
Although he was very tired, Ogata still held on to his body and tried to walk... no, he should have tried hard to drag himself back to the Sakakibara Kenkan.
He also wanted to go back to the Sakakihara Sword Hall to report to his master and the others that he was safe.
Ogata, who was in a trance, felt as if he was not walking, but floating.
Unknowingly, when he came to his senses, he found that he had drifted back to Sakakibara Sword Hall.
Entering the dojo, Obelo saw Sakakibara Hanbei and his brothers who were waiting for him to come back.
After Hanbei returned to the sword hall alone, he did not hide anything and directly told the disciples what Ogata was doing.
When they learned that Ogata went to the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone, many people were filled with indignation and expressed their intention to go to the Ishikawa Sword Hall together to help Ogata.
But they were all stopped by Hanbei.
If they were allowed to go to the Ishikawa Kenkan to help Ogata fight, it would only turn into a big fight and make today's commotion even worse.
In order to prevent the commotion from getting worse, Hanbei showed his dignity as a master and told everyone not to move. They all followed him and stayed here in the sword hall to wait for Ogata to return.
Due to the majesty of Hanbei, the disciples had no choice but to give up the idea of "aiding Ogata in the battle".
During the period of waiting for Ogata's return, Hanbei also felt that every second seemed like a year.
My mood keeps swinging back and forth between anxiety and annoyance.
He was also anxious about Ogata's delay in returning.
At that time, when he bumped into Ogata on the way to the Ishikawa Kenkan, Hanbei saw Ogata's firmness and determination from his eyes.
The look in Ogata's eyes at that time clearly told Hanbei: He was going to book the Ishikawa Kenkan. Unless Hanbei drew his sword and killed Ogata, Hanbei would not be able to stop him no matter how hard he tried.
Hanbei, who was shocked by Ogata's look, could only let Ogata go to the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone.
Since watching Ogata leave from his eyes, Hanbei has never let go of his worries about Ogata.
After Ogata came back, Hanbei immediately rolled his eyes to see if there were any wounds on Ogata's body.
Fortunately - apart from some dust, there were no other stains similar to blood on Ogata's body.
As for Ogata himself, except for the tired look on his face, every part of his body was intact. There was no missing arm, leg, or other parts.
Seeing that Ogata was back intact and safe, Hanbei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Ogata came back, the disciples who were waiting for Ogata in the dojo immediately gathered around and asked Ogata various questions.
"Ogata-senpai! Are you injured?"
"Ogata-kun! Are you really going to the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone?"
"Ogata, have you defeated everyone in the Ishikawa Kenkan?"
…
The noise from the brothers made Ogata's eardrums hurt.
Ogata, who was already feeling a little confused, felt even more confused.
But Ogata didn't hate such noise.
After smiling slightly, Ogata truthfully told everyone the whole process of entering the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone.
Counting the two disciples who were guarding the gate when he entered the Ishikawa Sword Hall, Ogata, who entered the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone today, defeated a total of 12 disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Hall.
After learning from Ogata that he had successfully broken into the Ishikawa Kenkan on his own, defeated the 12 disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan, and retreated completely, the dojo immediately resounded with gasps of air.
After the gasps of air fell, cheers and exclamations followed.
It's a pity that in the Edo period, there was no such celebration method of throwing people up, catching them again, throwing them up again, and catching them again.
Otherwise, Ogata would have been thrown into the trap by his senior brothers by now.
Ogata's feat of breaking into the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone today was really a relief.
A large group of people from the Ishikawa Sword Hall broke into their Sakakihara Sword Hall today and injured many people in their sword hall.
This made everyone in the Sakakihara Kenkan feel as if their chests were blocked by something, making them uncomfortable.
But now, after learning that Ogata had repaid Ishikawa Kenkan in such a powerful way, they all felt that the bad energy in their chests was instantly dissipated, and they all became refreshed.
