Your type of online game is too fake, right?

Du Bin was so choked that he couldn't speak, this is really a good junior.

However, in the case of Souji Okita, he should probably be considered a junior sister.

"……and many more."

As if remembering something, Okita Souji raised his head.

"Are you distracted again?"

"……how do you know?"

Dubin looked at Souji Okita in surprise.

Souji Okita was right. During the battle with Isamu Kondo in the morning, he was indeed slightly distracted because the bamboo knife in his hand was cut off. It was this moment of trance that made Isamu Kondo put the sword on his chest. Chest—otherwise, with his reaction speed, even if there is only one handle left, it would be enough to split Isamu Kondo's arm.

But he didn't tell anyone about that battle, and neither did Isamu Kondo. This was a tacit understanding between men.

The question is how did Souji Okita know?She obviously didn't know anything about that battle!

"you……"

When he looked at Souji Okita again, Dubin's eyes had changed.

He probably already knew how Okita Souji understood all this.

After all, Okita Souji is also a genius fighter, although he is still a little immature in terms of experience, but his level is quite high - and this means that the other party can also see the predicament he is facing right now.

Or, is there any warrior who has not experienced this level?

In fact, similar things are the same in any skill. After passing the threshold of beginners, the perspective of looking at affairs will change unconsciously—just like doctors are often more likely to discover the existence of diseases , Photographers can also instinctively find the angle to take pictures, a skilled police officer can tell who is a thief at a glance, and a good cook can tell whether a meal is delicious just by smelling it.

In the final analysis, these all come from the mastery of one's own skills. The deeper the mastery, the more unique the vision of looking at things will be.

For those who practice martial arts, this is even more obvious.

Martial arts is a technique of fighting with people, a technique of using force to cause damage. In other words, anything related to fighting, destruction, or exerting force will be noticed by the warrior at the first time—maybe this is the kind of thing that beginners have. It's not obvious at all, but for those warriors who already have a certain level, their vision of observing things has long since become completely different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people greet each other first, warriors measure the distance before meeting, ordinary people raise their hands to say hello, warriors raise their hands to protect their ribs, when ordinary people and warriors pass each other, what they think in their hearts may be "this buddy trained well" , but when a warrior passes by an ordinary person, what he thinks in his heart is probably "three more steps and he will be able to hit his heart".

Although it seems a bit too much to say, this is not done deliberately by warriors. In fact, it is the same in all walks of life. As long as you want to improve your skills, you will naturally think about these things all the time, thinking about these and skills related stuff.

For beginners, perhaps people are still chasing knowledge, but after passing that threshold, knowledge is chasing people.

Even speaking, this is something that you can't escape even if you want to escape.

Isamu Kondo was right about one thing before, that is, Dubin is indeed doing technology integration. After learning too much martial arts, he is now farther away, and he is only short of the goal, but because of the lack of this crucial last step, The knowledge he had been burdened with became a curse—it was also because of this reason that he often lost his mind during battles recently.He has learned so many and complicated things that even with a small movement, he will associate a whole series of things.

Just like Isamu Kondo's swift blow to break the bag bamboo knife before, his thinking has been from how to hit this knife in a short moment, how to catch it head-on, how to make up after going around, all the way It extends to "what if this technique is put into boxing", and even "what if this technique is used in sumo".

Just like a doctor who sees a person who doesn’t wash his hands, he can’t stop himself from thinking about how many bacteria are on it, just like a chef can’t stop himself from thinking about the technological practices used by his peers after ordering takeaway, Dubin He also wanted to keep his mind from wandering, but he couldn't control himself from thinking about it.

Of course, it was mainly because of the safety. It was precisely because he knew that he would not be killed that he had the leeway to lose his mind during the battle.

So there are only two ways for Dubin right now, either to find a new direction, to guide his various martial arts, or to simply fight a life-and-death duel, under the pressure that does not allow him to think wildly. It all comes together.

"Hey, you're distracted again."

Just as Dubin was thinking about the direction to go, the voice of the girl swordsman rang in his ears.

"Is that woman so important to you?"

"……Who?"

Du Bin, who came back to his senses, was taken aback by the question.

"Wait a minute, which woman?"

"The woman who looks a lot like me."

The girl swordsman wrapped in a quilt narrowed her eyes.

"During the first fight, you were also distracted because of this, right?"

"...So in your eyes, that's why I was distracted?"

Dupin suddenly felt as if something was not quite right.

What about the mutual understanding between the warriors?

"Since Boss Kondo asked me to give you advice, then I'm not going to be polite."

Even though he was wrapped in a quilt, Okita Souji's eyes began to shine with confidence.

"In the two fights, when you fought with me, you obviously hesitated. In addition, we didn't know each other at first, so the result was obvious... The reason why you are distracted is because of that woman, and your feelings are in your hands. There is a lot of concern in my heart, which even affects your performance."

Saying so, the girl swordsman stretched out her hand from under the blanket.

"If you want to be an ordinary person, it's okay to continue to maintain this relationship, but if you want to take a step forward in martial arts, then forget about this relationship... When you don't have a woman in your heart, Your martial arts will reach its peak."

Saying so, the girl swordsman went to pat Dubin on the shoulder.

But Dubin quickly dodged to dodge.

Are you kidding me, ten times the perception is still there, the consequences of being photographed may be more serious than being stabbed.

What's more, what Souji Okita said was wrong.

This is too far away. What does it mean to be distracted by feelings? It's not like he doesn't know what he is thinking. Even a little thing can hold him back?

"I think there seems to be a little misunderstanding between us."

With a sigh, Dupin still said all the things he had just thought of.

"...So you can probably understand, how can it be the kind of trivial thing you said that can distract me. I'm stuck on a more critical point now, so..."

"This is a trivial matter for you."

The girl swordsman frowned.

"Is this kind of thing a level? It's just a matter of integrating all the technologies... Wait, I seem to understand where your problem lies."

As if remembering something, the girl swordsman looked Dubin up and down.

"Have you ever risked your life for anything in your life?"

"...Your words sound weird."

Dupin scratched his head involuntarily.

"Does this have something to do with the improvement of martial arts?"

"Of course there is!"

The girl swordsman nodded.

"You said that you lack direction now, and you lack a way to integrate all martial arts. You have searched for many martial arts, but you have not found one that can do this... But have you ever thought about integrating martial arts together? , must it be martial arts?"

"...?"

Dupin's eyes narrowed.

This kind of statement... This is the first time he has heard of it!

All along, he has been too focused on exploring martial arts itself, so he has ignored a lot of external information, but now that he thinks about it... It's like a person's flesh and bone, flesh and bone, the two can be the same thing ?

"I understand!"

Inspiration flashed in his mind, and Dubin immediately realized the problem!

"Thank you!"

Dupin turned and ran, he couldn't wait to try his new idea.

Only the dumbfounded Okita Souji was left sitting in the room wrapped in a quilt.

"This……"

Seeing the elated back of that going away, the girl swordsman always felt as if something was wrong - if she remembered correctly, they were supposed to discuss an important issue?

But what is the important question?

"It seems to be a team... oh yes!"

The girl swordsman couldn't help but slapped her head, and then she remembered what she wanted to say in this meeting—originally, she wanted to discuss with the foreigner about changing the team to the French military system, but the foreigner dragged her to say The matter of martial arts for a long time made her forget all the business.

But there is no difference. After all, the foreigner also said that he is not good at leading the team, so he does not participate in the restructuring of the coaching team at all, so the burden still falls on her head in the end.

But compared to this trivial matter, Okita Souji is more concerned about another issue.

"The captain of the fifth team was killed."

The girl swordsman frowned slightly.

Takeda Kanryuzai, who diagnosed her with tuberculosis, was found dead at the back door of the garrison at noon. She was stabbed in the chest and her entire sternum was severed—many people said that this was the work of a ronin. After all, only the showman who is known for his fierceness can make such a ferocious slash.

But the girl swordsman could tell that it wasn't some popular sword technique, but the "Tiger Fall" that Isamu Kondo was good at.

Isamu Kondo first entrusted her and the first team to the stranger, and then secretly executed Takeda Kanryasai, which made Mr. Okita vigilant—obviously, Isamu Kondo discovered something, so he did it in advance Well prepared, she even did not hesitate to let her partner with that foreigner.

After all, that foreigner had something to do with the French Consulate. In other words, this was to allow her to be protected by the Musketeers at critical moments, and even to take refuge in the French Consulate.

Just how dangerous is it that Isamu Kondo made such an arrangement?

"That must be a danger that the natural mental flow cannot resist, and it may even be a danger that the entire Shinsengumi cannot resist."

Okita Souji's already bloodless face became even paler.

"What can I do for everyone?"

Okita Souji couldn't help looking at the long knife in his hand.

But she herself shook her head first.

If you only rely on the sword, you probably can't do much, otherwise Isamu Kondo would not have made such an arrangement for her-obviously, in the calculations of Isamu Kondo and even all the natural mind streamers, her sword will be the next In the danger of the danger, there may not even be that foreigner who is useful.

That's why she was arranged here, only because the other sects had concluded that that foreigner could protect her life better than her knife.

"So...that foreigner is the most useful?"

The girl swordsman couldn't help touching the long knife at hand.

If she was just an ordinary woman, maybe it was time to find a way to keep that stranger, even if she used some special methods, such as blowing the wind on the pillow or something.

However, she is a swordsman.

She didn't believe there was anything that her own sword couldn't do.
