I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Until Toyama and others completely left, Asaki and Afu finally dared to boldly step forward and ask how Ogata’s injuries were.

　　 Ogata opened the left front of his dark blue kimono and looked at his chest.

　　 There was a bruise on his chest at this time.

　　 This bruise was exactly the injury suffered during the first round of competition with Yuanshan.

　　 Ogata pressed the bruise on his chest—some pain, but the injury was not serious, and there was no fracture.

　　 "Afuku, you help Master Ogata into the Ryuya!" Asaki hurriedly said to Afuku, "I'll get the medicine."

　　 After leaving this sentence, Asaki hurried back to the stream room.

　　 And Afu obediently listened to the order, intending to help Ogata into the house.

　　 Ogata's injury was not so serious that he couldn't even walk well, and he didn't need Afu's support.

　　 But it was Afu’s kindness after all, and Ogata was too embarrassed to refuse, so he let Afu help him into the stream room.

　　 Because there were too many accidents tonight, Asaki directly announced the closure of business.

　　 After Ogata returned to the empty stream house with Afu's support, Asaki also returned from the inner room with some medicine.

　　 Asaki wanted to apply medicine to Ogata himself.

　　 But Ogata refused without hesitation.

　　 After all, he hurt his chest. Asking a widow to put medicine on his chest would make Ogata feel a little embarrassed.

　　 After politely declined the request of Asaki to rub the medicine on him, Ogata took the medicine that Asaki handed him and gave himself the medicine.

　　 When he applied the ointment to the bruise on his chest, Ogata's thoughts gradually drifted to the memory of the match with Toyama just now.

　　——The test just now...There was no system sound.

　　——I didn’t get any experience points...

　　-but this is of course... there is no victory or defeat, of course it is impossible to get any experience points.

　　——That distant mountain...is really strong...

　　——It took me 3 skill points and 3 exclusive skill points, and it was a tie with him...

　　 Ogata had to admit that-Toyama is really strong, he deserves to be the strongest among the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Museum.

　　 Ogata silently reflected on the two rounds of competition between him and Toyama just now.

　　 In the two rounds of competition with Toyama just now, the biggest lesson Ogata has learned is-when you should use skill points, you must use it!

　　 In the first round of the competition, Ogata should spend his skill points in time when he found that Toyama was not an opponent that could simply deal with.

　　 Ogata is a little scared in retrospect.

　　 Fortunately, in the first round of competition with Yuanshan, they used wooden swords instead of real ones.

　　 If he were to use a real knife, he would have already been poked a big hole in his chest.

　　 When I got a big hole in my chest and wanted to use skill points, it was too late.

　　 Ogata secretly said in his heart in a decisive tone:

　　——If you encounter such a powerful enemy in the future, you must spend your skill points before the battle begins!

　　-After the battle begins, spend skill points, it will be too late!

　　 After earnestly reflecting on the mistakes he made in the first round of battle, Ogata began to reflect on the second round of battle.

　　 After carefully recalling the second round of battle with Toyama, Ogata found that he still made a mistake in the second round of battle.

　　 That is—still sparingly on skill points.

　　 If you spent all 5 skill points and 3 exclusive skill points in one go, you might be able to defeat Toyama.

　　 But Ogata hesitated when he tapped these skill points.

　　 "Skill points can't be squandered casually, future skill points will become more and more difficult to obtain, and every skill point cannot be wasted"-this concept has already penetrated Okata's mind.

　　 Because of this, Ogata didn't dare to spend all his skill points.

　　 only used 6 points and left 2 points.

　　 Although Ogata thinks about it carefully now, he realizes that even if he spends all the skill points just now, he may not be able to defeat Toyama.

　　 Toyama's current strength is too strong.

　　 Even if you spend all your skills, you may not be able to defeat Yuanshan with absolute certainty.

"Ugh……"

　　 Ogata sighed in a volume that only he could hear, and then said:

　　 "Add skill points... this kind of thing is far more troublesome than I thought..."

　　 "If you keep it, you may encounter a situation where it is too late to spend..."

　　 "If you use up a skill point as soon as you have it, you may encounter a situation where you will hate less when you use it..."

"……Ok?"

　　 Just then, an idea suddenly appeared in Ogata's mind.

　　——Although skill points are precious, they cannot be used casually.

　　-But as long as I do not waste every skill point, it will be fine?

　　——At this stage, the way to add points that will not waste skill points least should be...all of them are added to personal attributes...

　　-a person with a strong body, who has taken advantage of the battle.

　　-Let the body become tough first, it should be nothing wrong.

　　——As long as I add all the skill points to my personal attributes, making me a "superman", then even if my sword skill level is very low, I can easily defeat all opponents...

　　——No matter how good a person is in swordsmanship, he shouldn’t be able to beat a superman who can "resist a hundred cauldrons"?

　　——Even if my sword skill level is very low, but if I have the power to resist a hundred cauldrons, even if I only use ordinary slashes, I can still easily defeat my opponent...

　　——In this way, it doesn’t matter whether the sword skill level is high or low...

　　——As long as my personal attribute value is high enough...

　　 "Spend all skill points on personal attributes and make yourself a "superman""-this idea occupies Ogata's mind, and it hasn't dissipated for a long time.

　　 A few days later——

　　 The first year of Kuanzheng (AD 1789), May 20th——

　　Today, for Ogata...no, it should be said that it is a special day for all the treasury officers of the Hirose clan including Ogata.

　　Today is the day when the lord of the Hirose clan and their lord, Genai Matsudaira, inspected the major warehouses in the clan.

　　 Early in the morning, all the treasury officers put on their shirts and took their positions.

　　裃 is the dress of the samurai~www.ltnovel.com~ It will only be worn for special events and occasions such as seeing one's own master.

　　 Ogata doesn't like wearing 裃.

　　The reason why I don’t like wearing 裃 is that, on the one hand, I don’t get used to it and it feels very twisty.

　　The other reason is that Ogata feels ugly.

　　 Ogata can't appreciate this dress of the samurai.

　　 The style of Ogata's feeling is especially like the battle suits worn by the people in the famous manga that he had seen in the modern earth before-"Dragon?".

　　 There are many warehouses with different functions in the Hirose domain.

　　 There is a warehouse dedicated to storing weapons.

　　 There is a warehouse dedicated to storing grain.

　　 There is a warehouse dedicated to storing salt.

　　……

　　 The warehouse officers are also divided into several groups and stationed in various warehouses, so that when Matsudaira Yuannei is patrolling each warehouse, someone will come to him to introduce the storage situation of the warehouse.

　　 Ogata was stationed in a warehouse dedicated to storing salt.

　　The people who were also sent to the warehouse dedicated to storing salt, in addition to Ogata, there are 4 colleagues of Ogata and 1 boss above him.

　　 This boss who is above him is named Inoue.

　　 Ogata’s task today is actually very easy.

　　 Among all the treasury officers, his rank belongs to the lowest.

　　 A small role like him, naturally, will not be assigned any important tasks.

　　 If Matsudaira Genuchi is here, Ogata only needs to kneel on the ground with his four colleagues and welcome the arrival of Matsudaira Genuchi.

　　 As for leading Matsuhira Gennai to visit the Yanba warehouse and explaining the various storage conditions of the Yanba warehouse, the boss of Ogata, Inoue, is responsible.
