I'm really unnerved in Tokyo

Chapter 259 [Fanwai] The Boundless Way of the Sword

"Hey, as expected of that person's grandson, he really did this."

Listening to the girl's introduction, Matsumoto Ginji didn't seem surprised at all, just smiled, and walked slowly into the dojo to visit.

"... One, one day can get the free pass?"

Hearing this slogan, Abeji looked at the master who had already "run away" with some pain.

He has practiced hard since he was a child, and he has only obtained Ertian's first-class license-free special pass.

This Xuanwu gym must be a kendo gym opened by a liar.

"Don't worry, you two, we will sign a contract with the students first. If you fail the assessment once, you will learn again for free... There are already many students who have obtained excellent results after leaving our crash course..."

Like a pyramid scheme, the beautiful girl exuded Rulan's aura, grabbed the handsome Abeji overly enthusiastically, stuck her soft body to him professionally, and seduced him carefully.

"Our owner, Chiba Ibuki Shifan, is the descendant of Chiba Shusuke, the founder of Hokushin Issou-ryu, and what he inherits is the most orthodox Hokushin Issou-ryu...Since the reopening of the museum, the natural mind flow Miyagawa Kiyozo, Kiryu Yilong and other well-known swordsmanship masters have come to challenge, but the Xuanwu Hall has not suffered a defeat so far..."

"What?! Miyagawa Kiyozo was also defeated?"

Rubbed by the girl's weak and boneless body, Abeji looked at the names of the people on the large posters on the wall with a heart like a mirror.

Miyagawa Kiyozo is a contemporary teacher of Natural Rishin-ryu, and Abeji Temple also visited him to learn from him and benefited a lot.

But since the other party dared to write on the wall, it must be true.

"Not only that, one of our students was a bad boy who couldn't find his life goals before entering school. He came into contact with kendo by accident, and after our one-day crash course training, he became the master general in the club activities and finally defeated him with his own strength. He defeated the evil genius swordsman, won the 65th All Japan University Kendo Tournament, and dominated the whole country..."

Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, the beautiful girl's face was gradually stained with a pink blush, her big eyes were gazing at Abeji's beautiful side face with watery eyes, and she narrated with some pride.

If I could recruit this handsome man in front of me into the crash course, wouldn't I have more chances to get in touch with him...

"No. 60 five chapters...wait... you are talking about Araki Sousuke from the Shibujing Great Kendo Department, right?!"

Listening to this somewhat familiar sports drama, the "evil genius swordsman" has black lines all over his head.

"So you are also a fan of Senior Araki? That's right, Senior Araki's sword skills were honed through the one-day crash course in our museum... Even the members of the current 'Dark Horse in the Kendo World' Shibujing Great Kendo Department , before joining the club, you will receive a one-day crash course training here."

Seeing the hope of "recruitment success", the girl smiled sweetly and pointed to a photo at the foot of the poster wall, and explained with more effort.

In the photo, a blond young man is holding a certificate of "Kendo Championship Winner" with a smirk, and is taking photos with the men who won "No.2" and "No.3".

"Ah?"

The girl Qianqian slenderly pointed at a man with a gloomy face next to the blond youth in the photo, and turned back to look at Abe Temple next to him repeatedly.

"...Yes, you read that right, this is exactly below..."

"Evil Genius Swordsman" Abe Temple's calm face made the atmosphere of the scene even more embarrassing.

At the same time, a man with short blond hair came in with a few strong green-skinned men who looked like college students.

"Xiao Xun, please register these guys, and collect the tuition by the way..."

The man greeted the girl in kimono familiarly, and then yelled at the men behind him: "You guys, the first hurdle of joining the club is to pass on the exemption of Beichen's one-sword style to me for examination." Do you know how to study hard?!"

"Hai!!! Senior Araki!!!"

Several men stood in a neat row, bowing to him with the imposing manner of death squad.

"...Sorry, Senior Araki has brought new students here, I have to go over and do some work, here you can take a look for yourself."

The girl bowed slightly, looked at Abeji's handsome face with some disappointment, and then stepped forward to lead the men in to go through the formalities.

"Hey, did the old man go out... Well, Xiaoxun, remember to remember the commission for me..."

"Don't worry, Araki-senpai."

The blond man following behind the girl in kimono, rubbing his thumb and forefinger repeatedly, whispering something, is the "inspirational character" printed as a poster on the wall, Sousuke Araki.

"... Araki Sousuke!"

Abeji, who was completely ignored, stood at the door, blocking Araki Sousuke who had arranged everything and was about to leave.

"Yo, so it's Abe-kun, I didn't notice you just now...Why, are you planning to join Beichen Yidaoyu too... That's right, practice a few more swords to broaden your skills..."

"What nonsense, I'm here with my master..."

Abeji found that the master was still in the dojo, and put down his finger resentfully.

"Okay, then you are busy first, I am here on leave... There are a lot of beautiful (fierce) girls (houses) waiting for me to go to sleep..."

Seeing the other party's eyes becoming more and more aggressive, Araki Sousuke seemed to have expected something, and turned around to leave.

He was grabbed by the shoulder.

"We're at the gate of the gymnasium where you learn art. Let's go after a match. This time, let's show our true strength to each other!"

After knowing Araki Sousuke's "half-demon" status, Abeji has been studying hard, just to fulfill the promise on the ship that day, and to have a hearty battle on the premise that both sides use their extraordinary power to their fullest.

"Sure enough... You guy, is the meaning of life only to be cheap? I'm working now, let's try another day."

Sighing, Araki Sousuke gently twisted his shoulders, and Abeji felt a strong force coming, and the other party broke free from his hand in an instant.

"...This guy's strength seems to have become stronger again."

When he chased out of the Xuanwu Hall gate, Araki Sousuke had already stepped on a red shared bicycle.

This was his main means of transportation other than the subway before he got the locomotive exemption.

"Damn it, stop for me..."

Araki Sousuke stepped on the pedals with both feet, and the shared bicycle suddenly made a painful friction sound, and it started off with the same momentum as a motorcycle.

Only the wind and dust like a sandstorm were left to Abe Temple.

"...cough cough cough... let him run away again..."

When the dust settled, a book on the ground in a black document bag attracted Abeji's attention.

It seems that Sousuke Araki walked too hastily just now and fell off the back seat of the bicycle.

"It's deliberately wrapped so concealed. Could it be that guy's cultivation secret book?"

Bending down to pick up the book on the ground, Abeji stared slightly.

He curiously opened the black document bag, and a note fell out of it.

"Congratulations to Araki-senpai on his successful inauguration, and the entire Shibujing Great Kendo Department."

There is also a smirk expression under the signature.

"... This guy, is he so respected after graduation? Why have I never received it..."

Thinking of his cold personality and the crazy "fan club" in the University Kendo Club, the rest of the club seemed to keep a certain distance from him, and Abe Temple couldn't help but envy this guy who got along with the juniors.

Inside the file bag, it seems to be a magazine.

Gently pulled it out, glanced at the cover, and Abe Temple suddenly turned gray as if struck by lightning, and knelt down at the entrance of Xuanwu Hall.

The magazine also fell to the ground from trembling.

"It turns out that the gap between me and that guy is so far away..."

Abeji, who had just shown off his "practice progress" to the teacher in the morning, was defeated in an instant.

No wonder the opponent didn't bother with his challenge at all.

On the cover of the magazine that fell to the ground so that he didn't dare to touch his eyes, the word "Super Familiar" was impressively written.

"Yo, young man, good taste."

At this moment, a tall and thin figure in a kimono walked in from the alley.

After praising Abeji who was kneeling at the door, he turned to meet Matsumoto Ginji who came out of the gym.

"I've been waiting for a long time...you suddenly said that you want to come over. I had an appointment with someone to go to Kabukicho."

It is the owner of Xuanwukan, Chiba Ibuki.

"Is this your disciple? It looks very energetic..."

Chiba Ibuki looked Abeji up and down, and admired him all over his face: "Tsk tsk, if only I had such an outstanding disciple who knows how to appreciate mature style and looks talented..."

Sure to attract female students of all ages.

"The owner of the Chiba Pavilion has won the prize."

Abeji put away the magazine, put it close to his body, and bowed slightly.

"Your disciples are also very good... Looking at it now, maybe your approach is right."

Ginji Matsumoto pointed to the clumsy but hard-working Goku in the courtyard with his chin, as well as the college students who had just started warming up.

"Hey, there is no way around this. If we continue to cherish ourselves as before, and refuse to teach those who are not good, I am afraid that in a hundred years, these kendo schools will disappear in sevens and eighties."

Chiba Ibuki sighed slightly.

At the end of the Edo period when real swords prevailed, it was Beichen Yidao who improved the bamboo swords and protective gear, formulated the rules of battle, and made the seemingly advanced essence of swordsmanship vivid and easy to understand in a simple way, which made the way of swordsmanship further developed. promotion.

Even so, in this era when firearms are the highest combat power, the legal system is sound, and technology is changing with each passing day, kendo, which has lost its practicality, will inevitably gradually become an old-fashioned sport, and talents will wither more and more.

And who knew that his seemingly philistine, eager for quick success "crash course" model contained an ambition to make kendo a national sport.

……

The backyard of Xuanwu Pavilion.

Abeji, who had been relieved from the domination of that terrible magazine, was kneeling under the eaves respectfully and without looking sideways.

In the center of the weed-filled courtyard, the tall and thin Chiba Ibuki and the burly Matsumoto Ginji stood opposite each other.

"Come here in a hurry just to fight with me?"

Chiba Ibuki asked with some irony.

"Sorry, the original ten-year agreement can only be brought forward... because after this, I am afraid that I will never be able to use such pure sword intent again."

Matsumoto Ginji rubbed his chin, turned his head and said to Abe Temple: "Temple, you have to keep your eyes open for every detail of this battle... Also, Master Chiba is my best friend, and you will practice in Tokyo in the future." If you have any doubts, you can come to ask for advice.”

Abe Temple did not speak, but nodded with a serious expression.

The teacher suddenly brought him here, and it turned out that he wanted to compete with others.

"Then, as you wish."

Chiba Yibuki took off the simple Taidao from his waist, untied the cotton cloth wrapped on it unhurriedly, and unsheathed it with a "clang".

This is a straight sword about 80 centimeters in length. There is only a simple golden cloth belt between the black handle and the silver-white blade.

"Hey, you are so willing to take out this knife, I thought you were going to keep it in the coffin."

Seeing the opponent's long sword unsheathed, Matsumoto Ginji's eyes flashed with excitement.

His hands turned into afterimages, and he quickly pulled out the double knives at his waist.

"Hakushi Kokuyasuna, Izumi Shou Fujiwara Kanesada, see reference."

Seeing the teacher with one long and one short pair of knives unsheathed, Abe Temple showed excitement.

Hakushi Guoan Gang is a 120 cm long super Nagano Taidao, which can be mastered by extraordinary swordsmen.

Izumi Shou Fujiwara Kanesada is about 65 cm long. Although it plays the role of Wakizashi, its length is not inferior to ordinary short swords.

The most important thing is that these two ancient knives were the weapons of Miyamoto Musashi.

The Abe family has worked hard over the years to find these two lost weapons, and used them as "tuition fees" for Matsumoto Ginji's careful teaching of Abe Temple.

Matsumoto Ginji, who was already burly and powerful, used this pair of swords that were longer than ordinary weapons, which made Abeji feel a breath of despair.

In the previous competition, if he was facing such a pair of long knives, even if he used [Sun and Moon], he might not be an all-in-one enemy.

Matsumoto Ginji bowed slightly, holding the two swords in front of his body, You Ruo's real murderous intent soared into the sky unscrupulously, as if the courtyard in front of him was soaked in blood.

Standing opposite him was Chiba Ibuki, holding a sword in both hands above his head and hanging behind him.

Facing Matsumoto Ginji's turbulent killing intent, he was completely unaffected, as if he had blended into the environment, without any sense of existence at all.

Beichen One Sword Style Star Eye.

"This is, the real Beichen One-Sword Style..."

Seeing this familiar gesture, Abe Temple instantly recalled that day on the yacht, the figure of a man holding up the demon sword Qi Yueyu.

Beichen Yidao Style is a swordsmanship comprehended from the trajectory of the Big Dipper around the Polaris. It is not so much a technique as it is an art.

But unlike Araki Sousuke, Chiba Ibuki didn't have that ready-to-go killing intent, as if he was just an old man stretching himself.

Without any words, Matsumoto Ginji held the short knife in front of his back and dragged the long knife behind him, and rushed directly to Chiba Ibuki who was in front...

In the small courtyard, the sound of metal and iron clanging constantly resounded.

The outcome of that day is known only to Abeji, the only witness.
