History of Kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 181 Tempering Slash
When Kamishiroha and the two rushed to the classroom, the class had already begun.

The lecturer was an associate professor, about forty years old, wearing a pair of old pedantic thick-rimmed glasses. He gave a passionate speech on the podium, his eyes glowed, and his mouth was full of foam, indicating that every sword master's slash was Unique, just like human fingerprints, they look the same, but they are completely different!

He said: "When you are tempering your slashing, don't just treat it as a slashing, you should treat it as a container, pour your unique will into it, and form a slashing that belongs only to you!"

After Jindaiyu and Kayoko came in, they quickly found a seat and prepared, and listened humbly.

Jindaiyu's feelings became more and more profound, and he felt as if he was about to pierce the window paper.

After class, Kamyoha pulled Kayoko to stop the associate professor who was about to leave, and humbly asked his own questions.

"Have you broken through the sword master?" The associate professor said solemnly after perceiving the aura of Kamidaiha with his knowledge, "I have made it very clear in class that I must pour my unique will into it."

"Professor, I've tried it, but I always feel that it's still missing a layer of window paper." Jindaiyu said.

"That means that what you have done is not thorough enough!" The associate professor said that slashing is the appearance of a swordsman, and one must devote oneself to it without reservation, because the slashing of a swordsman will never betray Master's!

Kamito Yu was touched for a moment, suddenly realized!

In the past, when he practiced slashing, he would always keep a little bit in his heart, because there are too many secrets in him, the traveler, breathing method, and human sword are all in one... So, no matter what he does, he always thinks twice before acting, which is true in normal times. It is a rare and excellent quality, but when it comes to tempering and slashing, it is a great harm!

"I understand. Thank you, Professor, for your guidance!" Kamashiroha thanked solemnly.

The associate professor pushed the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded dignifiedly, and turned to leave.

"Yu?" Kayoko looked at him nervously.

"I finally understand what the problem is." Jindaiyu said excitedly, "Kayoko, I may not have time to accompany you these days."

"It's okay." Kayoko smiled and took his hand, expressing her understanding and support!
After the love dinner, the two parted ways.

Kamitoha rode his bicycle back to the rented house, and immediately took out the big sharp knife to cut the snow. He came to the backyard, laid a dozen wooden stakes on the ground, and lined them up. Then, he stood ten meters away, took a deep breath, and began to temper himself.

He gathered his mind and put all his attention into Zhanxue in his hand. Soon, his...attention was diverted by the breathing of Zhanxue's sword, as if he was drifting with the flow and entering the world in the sword.

No, no, this way I will enter the state of the unity of human and sword... Kamyoha shook his head and got rid of the state of concentration.

He was a little numb, because he had to put all his will into hammering and slashing, but if that was the case, the sword breathing he heard in his ears would get louder and louder!
Is it true that success is a matter of wind and cloud, and failure is also a matter of wind and cloud?
Kandaiha thought about it, and finally decided not to cut snow.

He sharpened himself a wooden sword.

For a true swordsman, whether it is a katana made of fine iron or a wooden sword, it can strike...right?

Kamiyoha wasn't sure, but it was the only thing he could do right now.

He grabbed the wooden sword, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then poured all his attention, spirit, and everything into the wooden sword.

He raised the wooden sword over his head and slashed at the wooden post ten meters away.

Call ~
The wooden sword drew an afterimage in the air, but nothing else happened.

There were still some reservations... Kamishiroha noticed that his own habits were still causing trouble, but he had no psychological fluctuations. He just raised the wooden sword high again, trying to pour all of himself into the wooden sword to refine the strike.

After slashing and striking again and again, Jindai Yu also opened himself up little by little, and poured the part of himself into the wooden sword bit by bit.

As time passed, Jindai Yu's wooden sword slashed, the sound of the wind gradually became sharper, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron breaking through the air.

Is it almost done?
Jindai Yu was overjoyed, and immediately felt dizzy.

It was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and he had trained for more than four hours without reservation. He could hold on physically, but he was struggling mentally.

Jin Daiyu stopped with a smile. Anyway, he had already seized the opportunity, so there was no need to hold on anymore.

After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom, but he didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the tatami and began to practice the method of breathing.

In my mind, an endless blue sea slowly appeared.

……

The next day, Kamitoha looked at the class schedule, and there were two lessons on kendo skills in the morning.

He asked Kayoko to make a video, and then continued to practice his slash.

Once, twice... a hundred times...

five hundred times...

One day, two days...

Finally, after three days, Kamashiroha finally opened himself completely, and put all his energy and energy into the wooden sword.

boom!
He slashed with his sword, creating a beam of cold sword light, but it only flew a few meters away before dissipating quickly.

It finally worked!
Kamishiroha suppressed her joy and continued to exercise.

According to the professor, the sword hero's slash must fly ten meters to be considered qualified!

Inexplicably, Kamidaiwa thought of the slash of Yasui Yasui, the great master of the night, piercing through the night sky of Bunkyo District, and his heart suddenly had infinite yearning and motivation!
When the training was too tiring, Kamiyoha stopped and studied on his own through the course videos recorded by Kayoko.

At the same time, he did not forget the practice of breathing at noon and midnight.

On the fourth day, Jindai Yu's slash flew five meters.

On the fifth day, Slash flew seven meters.

On the sixth day, Jindai Yu's slash finally touched the wooden post ten meters away, but only a layer of faint sword marks were left on the surface of the wooden post.

Apparently, the slash was also being consumed continuously as it was flying out.

Kamishiroha learned from the video course that if a swordsman's slash flies ten meters, it is considered qualified, and if the power of the slash is stable and will not be consumed during the flight, it is excellent!

First fly ten meters, cut off the wooden stake, and then stabilize the cutting power... After Shendaiyu understood the steps of cultivation, he became more courageous and diligent.

However, on the seventh day, Kamishiroyu could no longer practice quietly.

Nakamura Mitsuru from the Academic Affairs Division sent a text message asking him to gather on the 6th floor of the Martial Arts Building at [-]:[-] p.m. It was about... the top [-] teams in the sequence and the first mission!
After reading the text message, Shen Daiyu didn't think of it. He hurriedly searched on the intranet forum, and soon found the list of the top [-] in sequence.

The first one is Hiroshi Nozaki.

The second is...

He looked at them one by one, but he didn't recognize any of them.

87 is him, and 98...as expected of Xiu'er, she managed to keep this student number.

Jin Daiyu was very pleased: I did not wrong you, Xiu'er!
On the morning of the same day, Kayoko rushed to the school, had a love lunch with Kayoko who had been missing for a long time, and told the achievements of these days in the park at the corner of the campus. It was not until 02:30 in the afternoon that he said goodbye to Kayoko and went to the Budo Building.
