Alchemist in Death

Chapter 32 Captain's Advice

"Captain, how did the rebellion end so quickly?"

The captain raised his lips slightly and said: "Originally it would take some time, but they were brave enough to attack the four nobles, so we took action directly."

"Tsk~ You really know how to seek death. Let's make a big fuss honestly and then discuss the conditions. How about walking down the steps?"

"Haha~ It's not that easy. When desire exceeds ability, no matter what he does, it will be no exception. But you, your performance this time is very poor. A mere vice-captain is injured like this. I feel sorry for you. You are disappointed."

"A mere vice-captain." The corner of Ichiro's mouth twitched. He suspected that the captain had some misunderstanding about the word mere. "Captain, that's a deputy-captain level figure. Jing Lingting is only 12 on the surface, okay?"

"It's just that the spiritual pressure is high, otherwise why is he not the vice-captain?" The captain glanced at Ichiro, who was unwilling to accept it, and then said, "Anyway, I am very dissatisfied with your performance this time. After this incident is over, you will take out the For an hour, I will train you in swordsmanship!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ichiro and the captain in surprise, including Urahara and Yoruichi. They knew that Ichiro's talent could definitely attract the attention of Captain Unohana, but the nature of taking time to give advice every day was different.

The concept of time in Soul Society has always been weak, and giving guidance once a week is considered frequent, let alone giving guidance every day, which is basically the same as being a disciple.

In other words, generally only direct disciples have this treatment.

But there is a bit of a problem on Ichiro's side.
There is no problem at all for the captain to be his teacher. Even if the captain doesn't say it, in Ichiro's heart, she is the teacher.

but!

The instruction is about swordsmanship!

This is very helpless
There is no doubt about the captain's swordsmanship. He is a tenth-level swordsman. It is said that he has mastered all the swordsmanship in Soul Society. He calls himself Unohana Hachisen-ryu!The strongest thing about the captain of Zhanquan Zougui is his swordsmanship. Regardless of his actual teaching ability, at least he has no problem teaching people. As the saying goes, great teachers make great disciples.

But this premise is that if the talent of this "disciple" is at a normal level
Obviously, Ichiro is not within the normal range.

"Captain, I'm touched that you value me so much, but there's a question you may not know."

"What?" The captain turned to look at Ichiro curiously. She didn't think that Ichiro was worried about hard training. In terms of hardship, the training of Kaido and Kidou was much more tiring.

"I have no talent for swordsmanship and have been in school for three years. I am still just getting started with the basic swordsmanship taught in the school and have not made any progress. I have not found any tips for swordsmanship. It is embarrassing to say that my first skill is Zanpakutō. Dao took the initiative to contact me”

After saying that, Ichiro lowered his head in shame. Knowing the original story, he knew about the captain. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the No. 1 swordsman in Soul Society. His talent was indeed not worthy of the captain's teachings.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why he is willing to join the fourth division with confidence and show off his talents. Although the captain pursues death, he hopes to die in the hands of someone who can bear the name of Kenpachi, because there can only be one Kenpachi in the same era. .

Kenpachi Kenpachi, this name is related to the sword as soon as it sounds. With his talent in swordsmanship, he will be targeted if he can be targeted!
So now Ichiro is actually a bit flustered. Although he knows that the captain at this time already has Kenpachi as the best candidate, he is still worried that if the captain changes his mind and puts the target on him
But to Ichiro's surprise, the captain smiled nonchalantly and asked: "Ichiro, what do you think kendo is?"

"Swordsmanship?" Ichiro pondered for a moment, and did not mince his words, but truthfully stated his opinion. "In prosperous times, it is the way of swordsmanship that cultivates one's moral character. In troubled times, it is the way of swordsmanship that kills enemies!" The captain smiled, very happily. .

"Sure enough, Ichiro is still used to looking at it from multiple angles. So let me change the question again, what is swordsmanship?"

"Swordsmanship?" Ichiro was stunned for a moment. Didn't he already say it just now?Not satisfied?However, Ichiro still did not change his opinion, and still said firmly, "Killing skills."

"Yes, the skill of killing. So, does killing require talent?"

Ichiro is completely stunned now, yes, does killing require talent?The white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, the gun is pointed at the head and the trigger is pulled, the elbow is pointed at the heart and the neck is hit hard. These can kill people. Does killing require skills?

need.

But does it require talent?

uncertain.
The captain glanced at Ichiro who was deep in thought and continued: "Swordsmanship is a technique for killing people, and killing people does not require talent. So why does swordsmanship require talent?"

Ichiro thought for a moment, reacted, and looked at the captain with a wry smile: "Captain, you are being sophistical. It looks the same, but in fact it is different. Swordsmanship has different meanings in different eras, but when practiced to a high level, it's the same."

"So, why do you need to practice to a high level?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ichiro's heart, as if he had caught something, and seemed to have caught everything, and the captain continued.

"Talent is required to practice swordsmanship to a high level, because it is a form of swordsmanship that cultivates one's moral integrity, but you are only practicing the technique of killing, so what kind of talent do you need? High talent will lead to training methods with high talent, and poor talent will naturally lead to training methods with poor talent. The so-called The key to fighting is nothing more than fast, ruthless and accurate.

The speed of the move is fast enough, the reaction speed is fast enough, the thinking speed is fast enough, the move is ruthless enough, the attack is accurate enough, and the training target must be accurate. Tell me, which of these conditions do you not meet? "

Ichiro still didn't answer, but looked at the Zanpakutō in his hand and thought, yes, what does he lack?
"Since you can't practice a certain sword skill to the extreme, then learn more. If the enemy can defeat you with one sword, you can practice ten swords. If the enemy can defeat you with ten swords, then you can practice hundreds of swords or thousands of swords!
There are so many sword techniques in the world, how many people can learn them all?The battle of swordsmanship is a battle of fighting each other. Your swordsmanship is ever-changing, your reactions are unparalleled, and your responses are impeccable. Do you need any swordsmanship talent to do this? "

After saying that, the captain looked forward quietly. She believed that Ichiro would understand.

And Ichiro did understand that what the captain said was actually very simple, that is, to change the fighting style. Most swordsmen only compete with each other in skills, but he found a new way, learning miscellaneous skills instead of mastering them. Others focused on skills, but he changed them again!

The use of tactics is exactly the way he is good at fighting now. Looking at all the battles dominated by his will, he always relies on tactics to deal with the enemy, and he almost never confronts others head-on.

If it were a pure competition of swordsmanship, he would definitely not be able to compete with other people's expertise. There is no doubt about this. But the problem is that swordsmanship is only one part of the battle of Death!
He can completely bring his opponent's swordsmanship level to his own level with his varied swordsmanship, and then use his rich experience to defeat the opponent!
So learn the sword,
Can do it!
