I formed the strongest swordsman group

A masculine man looked at you with such tender eyes - Qing Deng couldn't help shivering a little.

"Kon, Kondo-kun, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Ju." Kondo raised his hand and patted Qingdeng.

When Kondo stretched out his hand, Qingdeng almost subconsciously moved his shoulders back.

"Have you learned swordsmanship before? Have you used swords frequently?"

"No, I only learned one and a half moves from my late father. On weekdays, when performing official duties, I often use bare hands or ten hands."

"The competition just now really amazed me!" Kondo was full of excitement, "Although your swordsmanship level needs to be improved, your talent is really excellent! Just now, when I saw that you can adjust your movements so quickly, I was shocked." I can't believe my eyes!"

Kondo quickly praised Qingdeng without beating around the bush.

"Kondo-kun, you are too much." Qingdeng said politely and modestly quickly.

Qingdeng smiled calmly on the surface.

But at this moment, in the depths of his heart, his emotions were agitated, like a violent vortex.

If Qing Deng were to describe his newly acquired talent in one sentence, it would be: Heifers don't give birth to cubs—it's so awesome!

Others could see that Qingdeng was making rapid progress in the battle just now, let alone Qingdeng as the party involved.

Just now, when he realized that his movements and sword skills had become so much sharper, Qingdeng almost cried out in surprise.

It wasn't until that moment that Qingdeng really understood what the term "extraordinary talent" meant.

Extraordinary talent means that it takes only 1% of the sweat to achieve what ordinary people can achieve with 99% of the sweat.

In the battle just now, Qingdeng was able to correct his movements beautifully without doing anything. Qingdeng has never experienced this feeling, whether in his previous life or in this life.

And Kondo's compliments are still continuing at this time:

"In just a short moment of effort, the swordsmanship has made such great progress--I have only seen such an amazing scene at the chief executive before in this kind of battle!"

Qingdeng: "Director?"

"Ah, I've never mentioned it to you." Kondo's mouth curled up in a proud arc, "The chief is the pride of our test hall!"

"He showed amazing swordsmanship talent at a young age."

"When he first started learning swords, he was just like you—no one taught him how to do it, so he could adjust his sword skills more delicately and adjust his body posture to a posture more suitable for holding a sword."

"Brother Kondo." Okita interjected with a little displeasure at this time, "Why do you give me more and more titles? You say that I am the pride of the test guard, I can't bear it."

"I'm just stating the facts." Kondo shrugged.

When Kondo and Okita were arguing there, Qingdeng complained silently in his heart:

——Of course he is the same as me, because the swordsmanship talents we both have are at the same level...

——Is it the pride of the test guard... No wonder he has such an exaggerated talent as "Sword Master".

--Um? yes……

- I remembered...

——I was in Shannan...the first time I heard the name "Okita Souji"...

At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly realized why he felt his name was familiar when he met Okita just now and heard his self-introduction.

Because he just heard the name from his friend: Shannan Jingsuke.

Shannan mentioned it before: Chief Secretary Okita of the Test Guard Hall has very good strength, so that his master, the owner of the Little Chiba Sword Hall, couldn't help throwing an olive branch at him.

——It’s no wonder that Shannan specially praised his strength... With such a talent for swordsmanship, it’s strange that his strength is not strong...

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help turning his gaze slightly, and quietly looked up and down at the nearby Okita several times again.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was copied from him into the "Sword Master", otherwise Qingdeng would have found it hard to imagine that such a slender and beautiful young man was actually a swordsman with such extraordinary talent and strength.

"Qingdeng, your talent for swordsmanship is quite good! You are a very malleable talent!" Kondo shouted loudly, pulling Qingdeng's consciousness back to reality, "As long as you practice hard, you will have some achievements in swordsmanship in the future , it must not be difficult!"

"I don't expect to achieve such a high level of achievement in swordsmanship." Qingdeng half-jokingly said, "As long as I can always make me today better than me yesterday."

Qingdeng's words were imitated from a friend who worked out in the gym with him in his previous life.

His friend often said that "my goal is to make me today better than me yesterday", which was probably copied from the Internet somewhere.

My friend looks very handsome when he said this sentence—but if this friend can spend more time on operating equipment when saying this sentence, instead of spending most of his time posing in front of the mirror and posting on Moments If so, it will be even more handsome.

"Oh!" Qingdeng's words just now made Kondo's eyes shine, "Your words just now are very good!"

"Okay! That's all for the gossip." Kondo crossed his arms, "I already have a rough idea of ​​your current level and talent."

"Your current level is relatively average, so you have to learn from the most basic sword-holding posture first."

"How? Do you want to start training now?"

"Of course!" Qingdeng said without thinking.

"That's good!" Kondo grinned, "Then..."

"Little master! Little master Kondo! Is little master Kondo there?"

Kondo was talking about being in high spirits, when suddenly there was a loud shout from the entrance of the dojo - the owner of the voice was a strong man dressed as a commoner.

"Xiao Liu?" Kondo cast a surprised look at the strong man, "Why are you here?"

"Little Master Kondo." The strong man whom Kondo called "Little Six" smiled wryly, "Your Hijikata Toshizo, something happened."

As soon as Xiao Liu said this, Kondo and Okita's expressions suddenly changed.

"What happened to Ah Sui?" Kondo asked anxiously.

"Didn't Hijikata go back to his hometown in Tama to visit relatives a few days ago?" Xiaoliu said, "You know, that guy Hijikata has always been a restless person, so not long after returning to his hometown, in order to pass the boring time, So he resumed his old business and went to various places in Tama to sell his stone field powder medicine."

"As a result, something happened yesterday afternoon. The Bo people came to trouble the earthwork."

"The man said that he was the former buyer of the earthwork. He said that after he bought the stone field powder of the earthwork and went back, he found that the medicine was useless at all, so he gathered a group of people and wanted to come to the earthwork for an explanation."

"That group of people is menacing, there are more than twenty people."

"You guys know what kind of temper that thorny villain in the earth has. He directly fought those people."

"One person beat more than 20 people, and the beating was so dark."

"Although Hijikata won the battle, he was also seriously injured. He is now recuperating in his hometown in Tama."

"Although Hijikata told his family not to tell you about his injury, Hijikata's brother-in-law Sato decided to send me to inform you about it."

"Where is Mr. Hijikata injured?" As soon as Xiaoliu's voice fell, Okita asked quickly.

"The leg and forehead are injured." Xiao Liu replied, "The injury to the leg seems to be quite serious. He should spend his days in bed for the next few days."

"General Manager!" Kondo said loudly to Okita without thinking, "You stay here, I will go back to Tama now to see how A Sui is doing."

"I'm going too!" Okita also responded without hesitation, "Mr. Hijikata is injured, how can I continue to stay in Edo with peace of mind as if I didn't hear?"

"No. If you go to visit Earthworks with me, then who will take care of the test hall?"

Kondo and Okita quarreled over the matter of "visiting Hijikata".

Qingdeng, who didn't know any earthworks at all, sneaked up to Suzuki's side and asked:

"That... the earthwork is?"

"Hijikata Toshisan. One of the gatekeepers of our test hall." Suzuki introduced to Qingdeng in a low voice, "You are new here, so you probably don't know the 'Five King Kongs' in our test hall, right?"

Qingdeng: "I really don't know."

"You are also a part of our test hall now. In the future, you must pay more attention to the five people who are collectively called the 'Five King Kong' in our test hall."

Suzuki cleared his throat, and then spoke eloquently:

"The first person is the owner of our test hall, that is, our master-Mr. Kondo Shusuke."

"Although the master is 68 years old this year, he is still in good health. He usually looks kind and kind, but he is especially strict when it comes to swordsmanship."

"In the future, remember not to do anything that insults swordsmanship in front of the master, such as making the bamboo sword dirty on purpose. Master, what he hates the most is people who are disrespectful to swords and swordsmanship."

"The second person is the little master...ah, Mr. Isamu Kondo."

"Because Mr. Isamu Kondo is the teacher of our guard gymnasium and the young master of our sword gymnasium, so we usually like to call Mr. Isamu Kondo the little master."

"Master is getting old, so whether it is the management of the sword hall or the teaching of swordsmanship, he basically leaves it to the little master."

"It won't take long, the little master will probably inherit this test hall, and officially inherit the position of head of the natural Lixin Liuzong family, becoming the fourth generation head of the natural Lixin Liuzong family."

"The third person is Okita Souji-kun."

"The relationship between the Okita family and the Kondo family is very good. The two families are almost as close as one family."

"The relationship between the little master and Okita-kun is similar to that of brothers."

"And Okita-kun's qualifications in our test hall are also very old. He became a disciple of the master when he was 9 years old, and he entered the test hall to practice the natural mind flow."

"If I remember correctly... Okita-kun is 16 years old this year, which means this is the seventh year he has been in the test hall."

"Currently, there are almost no apprentices with seniority older than Okita-kun in the whole examination hall."

"If neither the master nor the little master happens to be in the sword hall, the guard hall will be directly handed over to Mr. Okita to take care of it."

"The little master often asks Okita-kun to share the management of the sword hall and the teaching of swordsmanship on weekdays."

"Mr. Okita's status in the test hall can be said to be second only to the little master."

"As close as brothers..." Qingdeng recalled the scene where Okita's hands were bound by his rope-catching technique and Kondo played with Okita just now, "No wonder their relationship looks so good."

Suzuki's explanation of the "Five King Kong" continues--

"And the fourth person... is Hijikata Toshisan."

At this point, Suzuki's mouth twitched.

"Hijikata Toshisan is the second most troublesome person in our test hall."

"If you run into him in the future, remember to be more careful."

"How troublesome?" Qingdeng asked.

"He is one of the gatekeepers of our test hall."

"This person and the little master are fellow villagers, and both were born in Tama, not far from Edo."

"Little master, Hijikata-kun, and Okita-kun, the relationship between the three of them is extremely good. The relationship between the three of them is so good that they can be regarded as half-brothers, just like Liu Guanzhang in "Three Kingdoms"."

"Tujiata-kun has a bad temper and a poisonous mouth, so he often causes troubles outside, and fighting with people is even more common, so he has the title of 'The Thorn Boy'."

Having said that, Suzuki looked at Kondo and Okita who were still arguing.

"Master Hijikata went back to his hometown in Tama to see his family a few days ago."

"Hey, I can be so restless when I go back to my hometown... This villainous boy with thorns is really..."

Having said that, Suzuki smiled wryly and shook his head.
