I formed the strongest swordsman group

Kondo did not stop the match, so Suzuki could only continue to fight.

"Drink—!"

The sharp chopping and the resonant qi harmony came out together.

The bamboo sword drew an arc-shaped line, hitting Qing Deng's forehead wearing the protective gear.

Suzuki didn't have much hope for his attack. Through the series of fights with Qingdeng just now, he already knew that the opponent in front of him had very good footwork, and it was not easy to hit him.

And the fact was not as Suzuki expected, his attack was once again dodged by Qingdeng.

But—although it was expected that his blow would not have any results, at this moment Suzuki still showed a little surprise on his face.

It's not because Qingdeng was able to escape his attack that he was surprised.

Instead, he was surprised that Qingdeng's dodging speed seemed to be a little faster than before.

——This person...why does his dodging speed seem to be faster?

Suzuki quickly used his brain to think about the answer to this question, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason to convince himself.

Kondo and Okita off the field knew the answer——Qingdeng just changed the posture of holding the knife a little bit, and adjusted the center of gravity of the body to a center of gravity that is more suitable for holding the knife. The corrected posture made Qingdeng's dodge easier Handy.

After dodging Suzuki's slash, Qingdeng immediately launched a counterattack.

Qingdeng, who was not used to sending out qihe, lowered his waist slightly in silence, pushed the bamboo sword forward, aimed it at Suzuki's chest and cut it horizontally.

Snapped!

Suzuki swung his knife to parry Qingdeng's slash.

However, despite his successful defense, Suzuki looked astonished as if he had been hit.

After fighting Qingdeng so far, he clearly felt that Qingdeng's sword just now, no matter the timing or the angle of the attack, was far more subtle than before...

Suzuki was amazed by Qingdeng's changes, and Qingdeng—he was carefully watching the "high-speed camera" in his mind that hadn't stopped since just now.

The "high-speed camera" in Qingdeng's mind was showing the attack he just launched against Suzuki.

——No way... The sword I just made was too high, and the center of gravity and the way I hold the knife seem to be a bit wrong... It's not easy to strike...

Qingdeng quickly retracted the knife he had slashed out, and once again slightly adjusted the center of gravity of his body and the way he held the knife, and then quickly slashed at Suzuki.

——This time the grip is much smoother...

...

...

If Kondo and Okita just now had a little surprise on their faces, now they are so surprised that they can't even close their mouths.

The two of them stared at Qingdeng who was making rapid progress on the field at a speed visible to the naked eye with a dazed look as if he had lost his soul.

They saw very clearly—how Qing Deng's movements became more and more stylish.

Just now, Suzuki was able to unilaterally suppress Qingdeng.

But now, after only a moment, the situation has changed dramatically.

In terms of swordsmanship strength alone, Suzuki is still stronger than Qingdeng, but he can no longer unilaterally suppress Qingdeng like he did at the beginning.

Qingdeng, who is making rapid progress, has already used several attacks that are extremely threatening to Suzuki, making Suzuki look embarrassed several times.

The three apprentices who came to the sword gym with Suzuki to practice swords have all stopped the ridicule of Qingdeng just now.

Even people who have never practiced swords can more or less see how frightening Qing Deng's progress is.

At this moment, all of them, like Kondo and Okita, stared blankly at Qingdeng who was still making progress on the field, showing such expressions: (Д)

At this moment, Okita raised his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously, then continued to look at Qingdeng on the field.

After several times of confirming that his eyes were right, a look of excitement slowly appeared on Okita's cheeks, and his hands, which were naturally placed on his thighs, unconsciously clenched the fabric on his legs.

"Brother Kondo." Okita whispered to Kondo in a tone that couldn't hide his excitement, "We...seem to be lucky today...!"

Kondo didn't reply to Okita's words.

Now he only opened his eyes full of excitement, and continued to stare closely at Qing Deng whose movements had become more subtle.

...

...

"Whirring whirring……"

The protective helmet Qingdeng wears has mediocre air permeability, and most of the hot air from his mouth and nose has no time to escape outside the protective gear, making him feel hot and stuffy.

——This body...the physical strength is really not enough...! And the arm muscles are also very weak, such a light bamboo sword, only swung a few times, and it started to feel sore...!

Qingdeng no longer remembers that this is the first time he has complained about his poor physical fitness since he crossed over.

The decline in physical fitness also made Qingdeng's attack and dodge movements a bit dull.

The physical strength of Suzuki on the opposite side seems to be about the same as that of Qingdeng, and his movements are not as agile as when he first started fighting.

——This competition... When will the fight stop?

When Qingdeng was saying this in his heart, he heard the voice he most wanted to hear now——

"Okay! That's it!" Kondo stood up and said loudly.

Qingdeng had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

As soon as Kondo's voice fell, Qingdeng immediately released his sword posture and stepped back, and Suzuki also made the same movement.

The two stood still after a certain distance, and then bowed to each other.

Qingdeng has been looking forward to hearing the system sound resounding in his mind since just now.

But until now, there is still no sound in my mind.

This shows that Suzuki does not have any special talent.

Qingdeng felt a little regretful in his heart, but he was not too depressed. After all, he had already made corresponding psychological preparations. After all, the introduction of this system clearly stated: Only a very small number of people will be burdened with special burdens. talent.

"Thank you for your hard work. After playing for so long, you must be tired. Come down and rest first."

"Yes!" After yelling "Yes" angrily, Suzuki walked quickly to the end of the field, knelt down on the ground in a very regular manner, and removed the protective gear on his body with skillful techniques.

Qingdeng, who followed Suzuki back to the field, was also removing the protective gear on his head at this time.

And an embarrassing scene appeared at this moment.

Because he was not yet proficient in wearing the protective gear, Qingdeng touched the protective gear on his head for a long time, but he couldn't remove the protective gear on his head.

The current Qingdeng is like a cat that has accidentally inserted its head into the potato chip bucket, trying to pull its head out of the potato chip bucket with its two little paws.

"Mr. Orange, let me help you."

At this time, Kondo's deep voice sounded from behind Qingdeng.

After Qingdeng felt a powerful big hand touch the back of his head a few times, the protective gear was sent away and fell off Qingdeng's head.

"Thank you..." Qingdeng turned his head to thank Kondo who helped him remove the protective gear.

However, as soon as his eyes turned to Kondo, Qingdeng's remaining words of thanks were all stuck in his throat.

He saw Kondo, who was very masculine in appearance and behavior, squatting behind him, looking at him with "affectionate" eyes.

[Japanese history class starts~]

Let me tell you about the swords of the samurai today!

If you have watched Japanese historical dramas with the theme of the Edo period, you should know that the samurai in the Edo period generally had two swords in their waists. Longer knives are called 【打刀】. The shorter knife is called "Wakizashi"

Many people have a misunderstanding about Wakizashi, that is, they think that Wakizashi is a knife specially used for laparotomy.

This concept is actually wrong. The sword most commonly used by samurai to cut open the abdomen is the shorter [Huaijian]. In the absence of a sword at hand, a shorter wakizashi will be used instead.

You can even use a knife to cut open your stomach if you like.

Wakizashi is actually the secondary weapon of the samurai. Wakizashi is to the samurai what a pistol is to a soldier. It is a secondary weapon used by the samurai when they are damaged by a knife or in a narrow environment.

By the way - Taidao and Uchidao are not the same thing.

The tachi was popular in the Heian period in the 11th century and was mainly used for horse fighting, while the fighting sword was mainly popular in the Muromachi period, the Sengoku period and the Edo period and was mainly used for foot combat.

[The Taidao is hung on the waist, with the blade facing down. The Da Dao is inserted directly into the belt with the blade facing upwards. 】

In general - the tachi used for horse fighting is longer and has a larger arc than the tachi. But that's just generally speaking. Some katanas are longer than tachi swords.

The author is here to teach you how to tell the difference between Hidao and Taidao in the museum - the one with the blade facing up on the knife holder is Hidao, and the opposite is Taidao, which is the same as the wearing direction of these two kinds of swords on the waist. If the blade is facing up, it is a sword, and if it is reversed, it is a tachi.
