I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata, whose soul comes from the modern earth, naturally scoffed at the values ​​​​of the warriors of this era.

But he really didn't have the leisure to discuss topics related to Matsudaira Gennai.

After sighing lightly together, Xu conveniently answered:

"It's true, let's not talk about this topic anymore, let's hurry up and practice swords and swords."

"Well, well... ah! That's right!"

Makino seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and after saying "ah", he asked Ogata:

"Senior Ogata! I heard that you had a one-on-one fight with Toyama from the Ishikawa Sword Gym a few days ago! Is this true?"

When Makino asked this question, he didn't deliberately lower his volume.

His voice spread throughout most of the dojo.

At this time, several other brothers who were practicing swords in the dojo were attracted by the question raised by Makino Asaokata, and stopped what they were doing one after another, and gathered around Chaoogata and Muye.

Hearing Makino's question, Ogata raised his eyebrows.

"how do you know?"

"'Ogata from the Sakakibara Sword Gym and Toyama from the 'Ishikawa Sword Gym' were singled out a few days ago, and the match was a tie' - this rumor seems to be spreading wildly these days! I only found out today This rumor is over!"

Ogata scratched his hair.

——Who sent this news...

——Is it those senior brothers from Yuanshan...

——It was still the group of onlookers at that time...

Ogata thought for a while, but couldn't figure out who sent the news, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Although the competition that night was forced to be interrupted at the last minute due to the arrival of the Tongxins, judging from the results, it was indeed a tie.

"Senior Ogata!" Makino asked again, "Is this rumor true?"

"Yes." Ogata hesitated for a while, then nodded, "A few days ago, I did have a match with Yuan Shan from the Ishikawa Sword Gym, and it was indeed a tie with Yuan Shan."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, the brothers around Ogata, headed by Makino, immediately burst into exclamations.

Just when Ogata was taken aback by the exclamations of Makino and the others, Makino asked excitedly:

"Senior Ogata! You are so strong! You can even draw with Toyama from Ishikawa Sword Gym! Isn't Toyama very strong?"

"Yeah." Ogata admitted Yuan Shan's superb swordsmanship openly, "Tou Shan's swordsmanship is very strong, that night I actually competed twice with Yuan Shan, and I lost to Yuan Shan in the first round , It wasn't until the second round that I finally managed to compete evenly with Yuan Shan."

"It's already very strong to be able to draw with that distant mountain in the Ishikawa Sword Gym!"

"Yes, yes! It's already very strong to be on par with that distant mountain!"

"Now it seems—the strongest person in our Sakakibara Sword Gym has become Ogata-kun!"

"I didn't expect... Ogata-kun has become so strong before you know it."

"Ogata-kun, you are really amazing!"

……

The brothers and sisters who surrounded Ogata praised Ogata without hesitation.

Ogata couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for the exaggerated praise for these feelings of the brothers and sisters.

"Alas..." Makino scratched at the hair on his sideburns, "When will I be able to become as powerful as Ogata-senpai..."

As soon as Makino finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded from behind him:

"If you continue to chat in the sword hall like this, then you will never be able to reach the strength of Ogata in your lifetime."

The sudden sound of this old voice startled everyone including Ogata.

Everyone followed the reputation.

An old man who was not too tall was walking slowly towards them with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the old man walking slowly towards them, Ogata and the others stood up quickly, then bowed to the old man, and respectfully said in unison:

"master!"

This old man is none other than the master of Ogata and the others, and the first owner of the Sakakibara Sword Gym—Sakakibara Hanbei.

Hanbei glanced at Makino and the others:

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go practice swords soon? Or do you think that you already have the strength to be passed on, so you don't need to practice swords anymore?"

"Master! Please forgive me! Let's practice swords immediately!" Makino said loudly first.

After Makino's voice fell, everyone dispersed immediately.

And Ogata was also going to go to the knife stand to take down a wooden knife to practice swords.

However, before Ogata had time to reach the knife holder, he was stopped by Banbei:

"Ogata!"

"Yes!" Ogata echoed loudly.

"You come with me."

Having said that, Hanbei continued to walk towards the outside of the Sakakibara Sword Gym with his hands behind his back.

Although I don't know why Hanbei suddenly called him out, it was after all his master's order and he had to obey, so Ogata could only adjust his clothes, followed closely behind Hanbei, and accompanied him. Hanbei walked out of the Sakakibara Sword Gym together.

Chapter 28 The plan failed at the very beginning【Please recommend!Ask for collection! 】

Although Hanbei is old, his footsteps are still solid and powerful.

Judging from the way Hanbei walked, he didn't look like a white-haired old man at all.

Outside the Sakakibara Sword Gym, there is a small stream flowing by.

Hanbei Sakakibara directly led Ogata to the stream.

"Ogata..."

Hanbei looked at the clear water, and said to Ogata earnestly:

"I've heard the rumors about you and Yuan Shan going head-to-head."

"You can draw a tie with Yuanshan from Ishikawa Sword Gym - I am very proud."

"As a teacher, nothing makes me happier than seeing my disciples grow so much."

As soon as Hanbei's voice fell, Ooyokai hurriedly bowed respectfully and said:

"Master, thank you for your compliment."

"but--"

However, Hanbei suddenly changed the subject.

"Ogata, I want to remind you now."

"You have great potential and you work hard. One day, your swordsmanship will reach a higher level."

"The sword is a tool whose sole purpose is to kill."

"Swordsmanship is a technique specially used to kill people."

"But it's not a last resort, don't draw your sword out of its sheath, and don't shoot at will to hurt people."

"Ogata, you have to keep in mind—violence can't solve any problems."

"Although I don't know why you confront Yuan Shan."

"If the confrontation broke out between the two of you because of a dispute, I hope that you, Ogata, will remain calm and restrained when encountering such a thing from now on."

"What can be solved with the tongue, can never be solved with the sword."

As soon as Hanbei finished speaking, Ooyoung said helplessly in his heart:

——Master... the situation that night, it is impossible to use the knife at all...

On the night of the confrontation with Yuan Shan, both Ogata and Yuan Shan were in a state of being on the verge of an arrow and had no choice but to strike. It was impossible for the two of them to put down their swords in a non-violent way.

But Ogata did not refute Hanbei's words just now.

Instead, he quickly bowed again:

"Yes! Thank you, Master, for your instruction!"

Compared to standing here and listening to Hanbei's teachings, Ogata wanted to go back to the sword hall to practice swords quickly.

So without any refutation, I hurriedly said "thank you, master" casually, and perfunctory the master, in order to quickly end this preaching.

……

……

After returning to the dojo, Ogata did not immediately pick up the wooden sword and join the training of the brothers.

Instead, he walked silently to a certain corner of the dojo.

He planned to use up all the 2 skill points he still had, before proceeding with today's training.

Until now, Ogata is still reflecting on the battle he had with Toyama a while ago.

The more Ogata thought about it, the more he felt how bad his mistake was in not using up the skill points in time in the battle with Yuan Shan a while ago.

At the same time, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the idea of ​​saving skill points is good, but when it's time to use skill points, I still have to use them decisively and in a timely manner.

Before, Ogata felt that skill points were very precious, so he saved every skill point and planned to use it later when he had a chance.

But after experiencing those two rounds of battles with Toyama, Ogata also began to reflect on his practice of saving skill points.

Ogata realized that he didn't seem to need to save skill points.

As long as you spend every skill point where you will never lose money.

Ogata thought about it, and found that the most cost-effective place at this stage, and the place where you will never lose money if you spend your skill points on it, is to improve your personal attributes.

Use all the skill points on your own personal attributes, maximize your various personal attributes, and create a superhuman body.

With a superhuman body, no sword skills are even needed, and all enemies can be defeated by ordinary slashing.

If in the battle with Yuanshan a while ago, Ogata didn't just save up skill points and use them to improve his personal attributes before the battle, then the final result might be It's different.

The more Ogata thought about it these days, the more he felt that his idea made sense.

So until today, Ogata has finally made up his mind - he wants to use most of the skill points now and in the future to improve his personal attributes.

As long as the personal attributes are improved, even if all the sword skills are at the elementary level, they can still defeat the opponent with their powerful physical functions.

After standing still in the corner of the dojo, Ogata called out the system.

——Agility plus 1 point!

【Ding!Agility +1]

[Current agility value: 8 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 1 points]

Ogata intends to spend his last 2 skill points on agility and reflex respectively.

Having experienced so many battles, Ogata has already deeply realized the importance of agility and reflexes in battle.

After the system sound fell, Ogata immediately felt his body become lighter and more flexible.

Ogata turned off the system, weighed his feet and opened his fists, feeling his body that became lighter.

Just when Ogata was excited that he was one step closer to becoming a "Superman", he suddenly discovered something strange...

"Some...strange..." Ogata looked at his open palms, and frowned unconsciously.

Although Ogata did feel that after adding points, his body became lighter and more flexible.

But... Ogata felt that the "lightness" he had just now was a little worse than the "lightness" brought to him when he rose from 5 points of agility to 6 points of agility...

After raising the agility from 7 points to 8 points, the improvement brought to Ogata, he always felt that the improvement brought to him by raising the agility from 5 points to 6 points...

--Could it be that? !

Ogata suddenly thought of a possibility.

In order to verify the possibility he had just thought of, Ogata hurriedly restarted the system, and then spent the last remaining point on "reflex nerves".
