Legion from Pirates

Chapter 54 ask for advice
Ronan felt that he was right this time.

This Koshiro is definitely a master of swordsmanship, even if he is not a great swordsman, he must be a top swordsman.

"I can't compare to you, you are my teacher from today on."

Xiao Ba was easily defeated, and he simply admitted defeat.

Koshiro still just smiled and said some words of encouragement.

After that, let the dojo disciples lead Ronan and others to pay the tuition fees and get familiar with the dojo environment.

The tuition fee is not expensive at all, and it can be seen that Koshiro does not expect to make money from it.

However, the One Heart Dojo is not too small.

Although board and lodging were provided for disciples in the dojo, Ronan and the others had no plans to live here.

For convenience, after a brief visit to the dojo, I returned to the boat.

The port is not far from the dojo, and it is convenient to go back and forth.

Early the next morning, I officially started learning kendo.

Except for Xiaoba, Ronan and the others have almost zero foundation.

then.

Xiao Ba was directly called by Koshiro, and Ronan and the others could only follow a disciple of the dojo to learn some basics.

"Just like that?"

This was obviously not what Ronan wanted.

He is not completely new to the basics of kendo.

The professor of Yixin Dao is similar to the ones he has come into contact with.

Can subtle differences create different effects?
"Excuse me, brother, under normal circumstances, how long does it take to master this basic swordsmanship?"

Ronan directly asked the brother who taught the basic swordsmanship.

Senior Swordsman glanced at Luo Nan, and replied that most of the gymnasium disciples need a few months to half a year to master it proficiently.

But there are also geniuses, such as Kuina, the deceased daughter of the owner Koshiro, who is said to have only spent half a day.

That is a kendo genius.

Even as a young girl, she was already able to defeat adult disciples who had studied kendo for many years.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of talents, and Kuina died young.

Ronan couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

Because he was learning kendo at the beginning, but after practicing for a few days, he was too late to get started.

then.

The sword-granting teacher told him directly that his kendo talent was mediocre, and if he continued, he would only become a third-rate swordsman in the end.

At that time, Ronan did not give up directly.

Continue to practice for a while.

He still didn't get started, so he stopped.

He felt that maybe he hadn't found a famous teacher.

After that, he didn't force it anymore, but planned to find a famous teacher before talking.

just now.

Koshiro is probably such a famous teacher.

just.

The current him, Koshiro doesn't seem to be able to teach directly.

How to do?
It is better to spend more time and master the basic swordsmanship first.

Or go directly to Koshiro to see if he can teach him personally?

For a moment, Ronan hesitated.

He was not afraid of being rejected, but he was worried that he would go straight to him and be disliked by Koshiro.

but.

After thinking about it carefully, Ronan still planned to find him directly.

Although there is still nearly a year to go to sea, but if it takes a few months to become proficient in basic swordsmanship, he probably won't have time to learn more.

I spent a little money to inquire about my teacher Koshiro's habits, hobbies and other information from the brother who gave the sword.

Confirming that Koshiro has a kind personality, Ronan went to find him.

When he found Koshiro, Ronan saw that he was also teaching Hachi the basic swordsmanship.

only.

Compared with what he just learned, it is different.

Didn't look too much, Ronan knew this world and attached great importance to inheritance.

Stealing Bie Zhi's swordsmanship and physical skills, once discovered, may even be killed.

"Teacher, I have a question and want to ask for advice."

Ronan walked up to Koshiro to meet him, and continued.

Xiao Ba seems to be obsessed with swordsmanship at this time, and he is mesmerized by just practicing basic swordsmanship.

Obviously, he didn't notice Ronan's arrival.

Koshiro turned his head, looked at Ronan and asked with a smile, "But what doubts do you have about swordsmanship?"

"You can say that." Ronan nodded, and then asked, "May I ask, Master, does sword practice require talent?"

"Talent, will, hard work, all three are indispensable."

Koshiro paused, and gave such an answer.

Ronan shook his head: "The disciple thinks what the teacher said is right, but not all of it."

Koshiro showed a little surprise on his face, but he still smiled, "Then tell me what you think."

"Talent, will, and hard work are indispensable, but there is still one key missing."

Ronan said unhurriedly, now he can really be sure that Koshiro has a kind personality.

prior to.

It's not that he hasn't come into contact with some swordsmen who opened a gym and recruited apprentices, but their tempers are getting more and more staid.

Almost, there is no room for the slightest rebuttal from the disciples.

"A suitable teacher." Ronan continued.

Koshiro was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "It makes sense, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Please forgive me for being so straightforward. The teacher thinks that if a student learns the way of swords, what height can he achieve, how much effort is required, and how much time will it take?"

Ronan stopped making rounds and asked this question directly.

Given Koshiro's suspected level of swordsmanship as a great swordsman, he felt that Koshiro should be able to give him a pertinent answer.

After speaking, he briefly talked about his previous experience of learning swords.

"The way of the sword is boundless, and so is the way of the sword, but there is a time when manpower is exhausted."

Koshiro didn't answer immediately after listening, but said in a leisurely manner.

"So, the way of swordsmanship so far can be roughly divided into three levels."

"A swordsman who practices skills, a swordsman who can cut through steel, and a great swordsman who can be said to be on a higher level."

"Skills, even rotten wood, can make perfect through practice."

"If you want to cut steel, you need to sense the breath of all things."

"You should have comprehended the domineering color of knowledge."

Koshiro paused at this point.

Ronan nodded and asked: "The teacher said that all things breathe, is it just knowledge and domineering?"

Although he didn't study kendo in depth, Ronan has been paying attention to collecting some information about kendo.

He is not ignorant of the two realms Koshiro mentioned.

"Perceiving the breath of all things is the arrogance of knowledge." Koshiro nodded.

"Teacher, in addition to knowledge and domineering, there should be other conditions to cut iron, right?"

Ronan asked again.

He thought about it.

Obviously, it is impossible to master knowledge and arrogance to cut iron.

If this is the case, on the great route, the iron-slashing swordsman might be dead.

After all.

It is one thing to be able to perceive it, but another to be able to cut it off.

"It is true, but this requires the strength of the heart." Koshiro gave the answer.

but.

Ronan was puzzled again.

Heart power?

Do you want to be so mysterious?
"I can sense that you are about to awaken this power." Koshiro continued.

I'm about to wake up?
I do not know how.

For a moment, Ronan frowned.
