I Teach Kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma doesn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and stands ready.

But the opponent did not act either, as if waiting for Kazuma to attack.

Kazuma lays down a heart and rushes forward.

He guarded against any subsequent moves on the opposite side, ready to interrupt the attack and evade at any time.

The opponent acted, it seemed to be a standard cut, and the target was the hand holding the sword in Kazuma.

Kazuma, as a master of cut-off, naturally knows how to deal with cut-off.

The simplest is to interrupt the attack, and the attack from the opponent's aiming hand will be missed by retracting the hand.

But this requires a very fast response speed, and it needs to predict the opponent's actions, and it will be too late when the cut is released.

Normal people can't react at all.

But Kazuma has long been out of the category of normal people.

As soon as the opponent Muroya Kuangzhi was about to launch, he captured the fleeting information through nuanced observations, stopped the attack and moved back.

Most people do this by thinking about it in advance and wanting to lie and cheat, and Kazuma is completely an emergency.

Muroya's bamboo sword swept past the Kazuma hand armor with the slightest difference.

The referee frowned, but his body moved, and raised the flag representing Muroya Masashitomoto.

Obviously, the referee wanted to raise the flag when he saw the cut, and he didn't expect Kazuma to avoid it.

After raising the flag, the referee was a bit embarrassed, because no one heard the sound of the bamboo knife hitting the hand armor at all, and it was obviously not profitable.

The little girl who was forced into the referee team by the general of Kyoto raised an objection without saying a word: "It's not worth it at all, right?"

This girl is probably an ordinary kendo enthusiast. She was drawn to help. She didn't even think about having more development in the kendo world, so she didn't have so many worries.

The referee was embarrassed and was about to say something forcefully. At this time, Muroya raised his hand and said, "I also think I don't have the money, but I was tricked out of it."

The referee twitched, and he sternly questioned Muroya Kuangzhi: "Are you sure you want to question my judgment? I asked you to take a copy."

"I'm sure." Muroya's voice was steady and firm, "If it wasn't for a fair duel, it would be impossible to test my limits."

The referee said with a sullen face: "Well, because my side had objections to the referee's result, I withdrew this judgment. Both sides reset."

Kazuma was originally waiting at the starting line. He and Muroya Kazuma just fought for a round, and didn't move much at all.

After listening to the command, he held the sword in the middle of Kazuma and waited again.

The opponent was also holding a sword in the middle, so the situation became exactly the same as before.

If you want to attack, you have to eat and cut, and if you want to break, you have to fight for speed, as long as your attack is faster than the cut.

But because the cut is aimed at the hand, the stroke of the knife in the attack is short, which naturally has a speed advantage.

In fact, in the real sword duel, there is a no-brainer way to break through, which is to use a sword that is longer than the opponent.

In actual combat, the longer the sword, the more advantageous it is. As for the longer the sword, the slower the swing speed, this is actually created by later games for balance.

In actual use, adding that point of weight to increase the length of the weapon has far less impact on the weapon's swing speed than the impact of the user's strength gap.

In actual combat, the sword you use is longer and heavier, so as long as you are stronger than others, you can offset this disadvantage.

In the early days of the Warring States Period in Japan, when iron guns were not so popular, the samurai was fully armored and armed with an ultra-long Nodachi sword, rushing into the foot light pile, just like a tank entering a crowd without anti-tank weapons.

This situation is even more obvious in the Middle Ages in Europe. Because of ethnic and nutritional problems in Japan, the armor cannot be too heavy. Europeans are tall and large, and it is easy to grow food in the plains. You can arm the canned knights. In the era of cold weapons It's really almost incomprehensible.

That is to say, the civilization of Italy's cities is developed, and heavy crossbows can be installed on a large scale to deal with these knight masters.

But whether it is a heavy crossbow or a longbow, it requires physical strength to use. Although the mechanical device reduces the need for physical strength, the winding of the crossbow is still a laborious task.

Later in the Hussite War, artisans and freemen in towns discovered that muskets were a good thing. The effect of opening cans was first-rate. It didn't take too much effort. Even women could refill and fire. The era of knight masters began to fall apart.

In short, in actual combat, there are ways to deal with the cut, you can use a longer knife, you can use projectiles, and the ultimate solution: draw a gun.

But now the bamboo sword used in Kazuma is the standard format stipulated by the All Swords Federation, and the length has been fixed.

If you just fight for speed, let alone whether the opponent can fight at level 25, there is a eccentric referee next to it.

In case Kazuma has been fighting for speed, but it only hits a little earlier, when the referee raises the flag and judges the opponent to win, then there is really no arguing.

After all, there are no ultra-high-speed cameras in the arena, and it is entirely up to the referee to judge.

The little girl serving as the deputy referee is basically a kendo fan. She can't see clearly in a situation where she can only see it. Even if she sees it clearly, no one will think that she is more authoritative than the referee.

Just now, the referee's "defeated" actually sounded the alarm for Kazuma, telling him that he can't come up with the situation where it is difficult to tell who won, and everyone around must be able to see that he won.

That way, the referee can't do anything.

However, the opponent's strength is not bad, and then it seems that he doesn't intend to attack actively, and he will have to kill himself when attacking.

Kazuma began to move sideways.

In case of trouble, move to the side first and enter the two-person turn mode.

In case the basic skills of the face are not good and the bottom plate is unstable, won't that opportunity come?

Muroya also cooperated very well, so he turned to Kazuma.

So Kazuma has time to think about what to do.

Sure enough, should I lie to the other side to make a move, swindle the cut out and then seize the time to fight back?

But the opponent has already suffered a loss just now, will he be fooled again?

Thinking of this Kazuma, I hated the referee. Just as he didn't raise the flag to make trouble, he just grabbed the gap and attacked it.

The head referee raised the flag, no matter whether the judgment was counted or not, the attack launched after the flag was raised would not count.

Kazuma decided to give it a try, and suddenly changed the pace-Kendo attack basically started from the footsteps.

So when a newcomer first practices kendo, the master will say not to just stare at the enemy's sword.

As soon as the footsteps of Kazuma changed, the opposite side immediately followed the footsteps. However, contrary to Kazuma's expectation, Murotani took a step forward.

Is this trying to make the slash and the cut to occur as close as possible, giving the referee more discretion?

The other party said that they wanted a fair duel, but they did not give up the advantage of the referee's preference for himself——

But Kazuma was originally a fake action. He didn't attack at all, and he just stepped back and waited for the cut to fail.

But the other party did not make a move either.

The two men resumed their confrontation.

Suddenly Kazuma heard someone yelling: "Why don't you fight, it's so boring!"

He glanced at the direction of the sound from the corner of his eye and found that it was Mikazi.

This guy patted the floor like a kid: "It's so boring, hit it!"

In fact, all those who watched the game are attracted by the game between the two sides, and they see unusual input.

Meijiazi's kendo strength is actually pretty good, so she won't lose sight of the doorway at all.

She was deliberately pretending to be a fool to stir up the atmosphere.

But thanks to her acting stupid, the mood in Kazuma relaxed a little, and then a great idea came out.

Competitive kendo stipulates effective areas for attacking, and only hits in these areas are considered worthy. Therefore, the battle of competitive kendo is a face-to-face confrontation.

And there is no lower sword technique to attack the bottom plate at all.

Don't score in the next set!

Kazuma changed the position of holding a knife in the middle section to holding a knife in the lower section.

The spectators immediately exclaimed, because they didn't know what Kazuma was doing.

The idea of ​​Kazuma is actually very simple. It becomes difficult to use a knife to cut in the lower section, and generally the cutting is done against the attack of the upper section or the middle section, and there is basically no target for the lower section. Cut off exercises.

He just forced the opponent to change his tricks.

Although the next paragraph is an unusual posture in kendo competitions, the opponent is facing the winner of the Kuixing Banner, the modern swordsman Kiryuu Kazuma who has experienced many life and death duels, he certainly does not dare to bet Kazuma It's messy.

The other side thought for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to launch an attack.

It is very convenient to cut the legs with a knife in the lower section, but it is much harder to hit the effective attack area of ​​competitive kendo than in the upper middle section.

And the next stage is not easy to deploy defenses.

Obviously, the other side decided that this was the perfect time to attack.

It seems that Muroya is quite confident in his kendo.

Kazuma slid to the side, dodge the straight cut on the opposite side by a few millimetres, then picked up from the lower stage and swept towards the opponent's carcass.

But Murotani directly raised his center of gravity, and Kazuma hit the skirt.

At the same time, the opponent slashed with both hands and hit Kazuma sideways.

Kazuma directly lifted up with both hands, pulling up the blade to block.

During this process, the bamboo sword of Kazuma hits the effective hit area of ​​the carcass, but the effective attack of competitive kendo is not that even if you encounter it, you must have a corresponding sword action. Some referees even require forward stepping. The combination of this leg action can be considered an effective aggression.

Kazuma put down the horizontal chop, and directly pushed forward to maintain the bamboo sword.

He wanted to try to see if he could force the opponent to have problems when they backed up, after all, the opponent had just raised his center of gravity.

After moving forward a few steps, the opponent staggered, Kazuma immediately moved back and pulled away, without adjusting the posture, stepping forward and taking the knife.

Muroya Masashi, who was unstable in the next game, hurriedly challenged, parrying very reluctantly.

He wanted to maintain his relationship and strive for a chance to adjust his posture, but Kazuma didn't give him a chance, so he closed the knife like lightning and attacked again-two in a row!

Murotani was indeed a master at level 25 who had already stood at the apex of mortals, and he was also defended in the second time.

But now he is completely passive, and even the opportunity to use the cut is lost.

Kazuma continued onslaught.

Suffering from the response, Muroya Masoshi finally had a major flaw after taking the fifth sword, and the bamboo sword fell out of his hand.

According to the memory of Kazuma in the previous life, losing a knife in a kendo competition is not considered a loss, but many times the person who dropped the knife will voluntarily surrender because of shame.

Thick-skinned and then hit no one can say anything about you.

But the rules here are obviously different. When the knife fell to the ground, the spectators made an "Oh" sound, and the referee raised the flag.

"The pioneer of the University of Tokyo, shoot down the opponent bamboo sword and win!"

Kazuma raised eyebrows.

He had already discovered that the kendo rules of the two worlds were somewhat different: in his previous life, he remembered very clearly that a stab was only effective when it hit a special throat protection part under the helmet.

But here obviously piercing the carcass is also effective.

Just because I discovered this difference before, the current Kazuma is not very surprised.

It turned out that even if the knife fell here, even if you lose, he silently remembered it in his heart.

Wouldn't it give birth to a lot of weapon-oriented styles of play?

As long as you are strong enough, you will be able to greet the bamboo sword on the opposite side, and you will win by hitting it all at once.

However, the design of bamboo knives that can buffer and absorb power by itself, it must be quite difficult to fly the bamboo knives.

The bamboo knife is not made of a whole bamboo, but a flexible structure formed by many bamboo strips tied together.

The two bamboo knives struck each other, and most of the strength was absorbed by the deformation of the blade.

Using a bamboo knife can still cause pain in the mouth of the tiger, which shows that the opponent's strength is extraordinary.

The estimation that can achieve the effect of tiger's mouth pain also shows the current upper stage slash.

Murotani picked up the bamboo knife that fell on the ground and bowed to Kazuma: "I made you laugh, Kiryu-kun."

"No, your performance is already very good."

In all fairness, Kazuma made Kazuma quite uncomfortable simply relying on the crushing of the kendo level.

Had it not for Kazuma, which had a lot of practical experience and the blessings brought by the entry, the result of this battle would be overwhelming.

If Murotani can improve by two levels to reach the level of Ping Nakamiti, Kazuma may not be able to play.

——It seems that blind pursuit of experience and actual combat is not enough.

It's time to find a good teacher to teach yourself a few more tricks.

According to the experience of Kazuma, looking for someone who is strong in kendo and has a free pass to guide you, the speed of level improvement is faster than that of finding strange brushes.

And the instructor can also learn new sword moves.

Pingzhong Shijiao's Kazuma has been used all the way to the present and has benefited a lot.

At this time, the referee gave the command of "Li".

Kazuma hurriedly did the action of taking the sword, and took the bamboo sword to his waist and held it in another hand-which symbolized returning the sword to its sheath-and bowed to Muroya Masashi in front of him.

After doing this, Muroya turned around and took off his mask at the same time.

Miss Guiting hurried forward to take his helmet, handed him the towel, and said softly, "Thank you, Muroya-kun."

Kazuma also took off his helmet, handed it to Honami, and then looked at Honami eagerly.

Honami showed a puzzled expression for an instant, but immediately understood: "Thank you, Kazuma."

Then Honami did not hand over the towel, but directly wiped off the sweat of Kazuma.

Next to him, Yuzao opened the insulated pot, turned the lid back as a cup, filled it with iced barley tea, and handed it to Kazuma.

"There is still a general battle," she said, "kill the first five of the general and it's done."

Honami: "By the way, Toda-senpai asked, do you want to take a break, and if you want, they will go there and try to help you delay the time."

Kazuma thought about it~www.readwn.com~ I did consume a lot of physical strength.

Rest for twenty minutes should be better.

At this time, Hiroshi Tanshuro, general of the Kendo Department of Kyoto University, had already stood behind the starting line on the opposite side.

The brawny man folded his hands in his chest: "I suggest you take a break, and I just hit your weak seniors to warm up."

While saying this, Miss Guiting helped him round his hair back and tie it into a ponytail.

Kazuma saw that the other party said so, so he tilted his head and said to Honami, "Let the seniors go."

Honami nodded, then turned to make a gesture to Toda-senpai on the bench.

Toda-senpai immediately raised his hand: "The University of Tokyo wants to change players!"

Referee: "Are you sure? In this case, the Pioneers will not be able to continue playing until the rest of you are eliminated."

"We are sure." Toda-senpai said.
