infinite blood sorrow

However, in just a moment, this happy expression disappeared. Shokuhou Misaki seemed to wake up suddenly, looked at Mo Ao with a vigilant face, and then said nothing, as if he was angry, puffed up unwillingly I struggled with the sweets in my hand.

Mo Ao didn't have any dissatisfaction with Shokuhou Misaki's attitude, on the contrary, he now looked at Shokuho Misaki who was bitter and grudged but couldn't let go with a smile on his face.Even without that perfect temperament, Shokuhou Misaki is still Shokuhou Misaki.Rather, without that goddess temperament, the current Shokuhou Misaki is really cute, very cute.

"Hello!" Shokuhou Misaki raised his head, still looking at Mo Ao with that angry expression. "What exactly is your ability? Don't tell me what lv1 [molecular recombination] is, I have already seen that day, what you looked like when you were fighting that monster."

"..." After finishing speaking, Shokuhou Misaki paused. "Also, what was that eye on the ground at that time?"

"Huh?" Mo Ao was stunned for a moment, "I see, you saw the moment when the 'door' opened!"

Door?Shokuhou Misaki couldn't understand Mo Ao's words at all, but before she could ask, Mo Ao continued.

"As for what I said, I told you from the beginning." Mo Ao raised his head and looked at Shokuhou Misaki with a meaningful smile. "I am an alchemist!"

Without giving Shokuhou Misaki a chance to question, Mo Ao took the black tea that was originally placed in front of Shokuhou Misaki, dipped his index finger in the black tea and drew a formation on the table in front of them.

"In this world, in addition to the power of science, there is also the power of magic. However, capable people cannot use magic, and magicians cannot develop abilities. Therefore, science and magic are absolutely opposite to each other. "

"However, there is one exception."

While explaining, Mo Ao clasped his palms together, and then lightly placed them on the formation on the table.

"That's the alchemist."

"Alchemists seek the truth of the world. Pursue the mysteries of matter. So although they don't have super powers, they are magicians and scientists at the same time. Analyze all the matter in this world, explore the essence, deeply decompose, and then recombine. "

"And this is alchemy." Mo Ao took his hand away from the alchemy formation on the table, and Shokuhou Misaki immediately widened his eyes.

On the table at this time, the center of the wooden table collapsed out of thin air, and in the middle of the pothole, there was a lifelike wood carving, carved with pocket wooden tables, wooden chairs, and black tea cups, and even the ripples of the black tea in the cups were extremely detailed presented.

Of course, there is also an elegant girl who sits at the table and tastes black tea with her eyes closed, wearing a Tokiwadai school uniform, and wearing white long gloves and stockings with spider web patterns on her hands and feet. A peerless girl.

Mo Ao gently pushed the wooden carving in front of Shokuhou Misaki, the smile on his face was like spring breeze turning into rain.

"Give it to you."

Chapter 56 Sword girl Saten Saten?

"Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! Noodles!..."

In the small courtyard inside the hospital, Leizi was wearing a patient suit, holding a wooden branch in his hand, raised his hands above his head again and again, and then swung them down again and again, humming "mian" in his mouth. sound.

"I said... what are you doing..." Mo Ao's helpless voice came from behind Renzi. "At first, I thought you, Baga, had gone somewhere in the ward. Didn't I expect you to play with branches here?"

"It's not playing with branches!" Renzi turned around and retorted loudly, then lowered her head again, saying with some embarrassment. "I'm just... just contacting Kendo."

"Hey, look, senior is very strong, right? He is obviously lv1, but he can defeat those who have abilities of lv3 and lv4." Renzi explained in a flustered look with erratic eyes. "So, I... Senior, do you think I can become stronger? Like Senior, no, as long as I have one-tenth of Senior..."

"So you just hold a branch here and practice 'mian' ah 'mian'?" Mo Ao shook his head and laughed. "If you want to learn kendo, it's completely useless to practice like this. And from which TV show did you see those practicing guys shouting 'face to face' all the time."

"Oh?! Isn't that so?" Renzi was surprised, and then became even more flustered. It's too shameful to use the knowledge she saw on TV to embarrass her face and stand out.

"At the very least, don't use such jokes if you want to practice kendo." Mo Ao took over the branch that Leizi held in his hand just now. This branch is a bit heavy, so it can be kept from being blown by the wind. At that level, this kind of thing can only be used as a "sword" for children to play games.

Mo Ao casually took out another wooden knife from the storage space, handed it over and said, "Try this."

"Oh." Laizi looked at the more formal standard wooden knife in Mo Ao's hand, and she was still very curious about the "legendary way of swordsmanship".

"It's so heavy!" Leizi saw the wooden knife in Mo Ao's hand, but felt that the wooden knife was much heavier than she imagined.

"Regular wooden knives are usually made of hardwood, so they are relatively heavy. The weight of this knife is about 1.4 catties, which is about 0.7 kg. The length is 107 cm, and it is a work made of imitation real knives. Of course, the real The knife is much heavier than this." Mo Ao explained beside him.

"Liar! How can this kind of wooden knife be used for contact? It's very difficult to even swing it." Leizi's face was full of disbelief.The knife in her hand can indeed be said to be "heavy" for her. If it is such a weight, if it is with one hand, it will start to ache when you swing it twice.

"Of course I'm not lying. This is an ordinary wooden knife for practice, but for complete beginners, it is generally practiced with a bamboo knife." Mo Ao took out another bamboo knife and said.

"It's so light." Renzi waved the bamboo knife in her hand, feeling very relaxed.

"Actually, this bamboo knife is not very light for you. A bamboo knife for practice usually weighs around 0.4kg, and at most it will not exceed 0.5kg. It is just because it is lighter than a wooden knife, so you will have a bamboo knife in comparison. Very light recognition."

"From the very beginning, I wanted to ask, senior, where did you get these knives?" Renzi held a wooden knife in one hand and a bamboo knife in the other, and then turned her attention to Mo Ao.

"Secret~Secret~" Mo Ao folded his hands on his chest and drew a long voice, as if "I just won't say it".

"Eh? Senior is mean." Renzi said disappointedly. As a girl who was so curious, if she didn't tell her about this kind of thing, it would make her feel like being scratched by a cat.

"Secrets are secrets, and it's meaningless to tell them." Mo Ao didn't soften his heart at all, and straightforwardly explained that there was no way to do this.

"Hmm... so senior, can you teach me the way of swordsmanship?" Renzi was lost for a while, but it was only for a while, and soon she looked at Mo Ao with hope and said.

"You want to learn swordsmanship with me?" Mo Ao looked at Leizi in surprise, someone wanted to learn swordsmanship with him... It seemed a bit wrong, someone wanted to learn swordsmanship with him... Wait a minute, it still seems wrong... Someone actually wants to learn swordsmanship with him... Damn, I can't look straight at him, how can I break it? !

"Yeah." Laizi kept nodding.

"No, no, no, how can I teach people." Mo Ao laughed and waved his hands again and again.For a cheating guy like him, it would be better to kill him than ask him to teach others.He doesn't know how to teach at all!

If it was before, he could use his extensive knowledge of kendo to directly transfer a set of practice methods to Saten, and let her try it. But now he has deleted all those kendo knowledge from his mind for the purpose of practicing. .

"It's definitely possible! Senior is so powerful, why not?"

"My kendo is all based on my own feelings. I just slash and slash randomly. Sometimes I even think of the name on the spur of the moment. How can I teach others? No, no, just go to school and find a kendo club It’s much better than asking me to teach you.”

"No, those so-called kendo masters in Academy City can't even beat lv3, senior is really good!" Saenko clenched her fists in front of her chest and said excitedly. "So please teach me the way of swords, senior!"

"..." Mo Ao was silent for a while, crossing his arms and thinking for a while. "Well, let's do a test first."

"Test?" Saten repeated doubtfully.

"Yes, the test." Mo Ao nodded, looking at Leizi seriously and said. "You know, the practice of swordsmanship also needs years and months, and sometimes it even takes several years to achieve small results."

"So, in order to ensure that you can persevere in kendo, it is not a 3-minute enthusiasm. At the same time, it is also necessary to see if you have talent in kendo. If you don't have talent, I certainly don't recommend you to learn kendo."

"That's it! No problem! I will definitely pass!" Seeing that Mo Ao let go, Lienzi said very happily.Full of fighting spirit.

"What kind of test? Let's start now!" Saten said impatiently.

"Don't worry." Mo Ao shook his head, his face became serious again. "You Baga, you are still in the observation period, so go to the ward and stay in the ward! The test and so on will wait until you are officially discharged from the hospital. Now give me a good rest, and give me the best condition when the test is over. Come out. Otherwise, don’t cry when you fail.”

"Hey hey...that..." Satenko smiled obsequiously, trying to change the subject.

"From now on, if you continue to stand outside for 1 minute, the difficulty of the test will double!"

"I'll go back and rest right away!" Renzi straightened up in an instant, saluted funnyly, and ran back to the hospital with a smile.

Saten's laughter gradually faded away, and soon disappeared from sight at the corner of the aisle.She looks happy.

But Mo Ao was not happy.

"Kendo... is not something that anyone can learn! Saten..."

Chapter 57 Kendo Quiz

"Then first of all, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital, Leizi." Standing in the corner of a park near a middle school, Mo Ao said to Leizi.

"Hey, hey! The Saten has been revived again!" Saten said with great vigor, and being in the hospital for the past few days has driven her to pieces.

"Seeing that you are in such a good spirit, then I can rest assured. So today we will start the sword test."

"Yes! Saten Ruiko obeys your instructions!" Saten Ruiko listened to Mo Ao's words about the test, and immediately got serious, standing at attention in a dignified way and saluting, but her serious appearance will make people feel more serious. Just alive.

"Pfft!" Mo Ao originally wanted to put on a straight face and take it seriously, but he found that this look was really not serious, so he couldn't help laughing. "Okay, okay, don't play tricks. Don't be nervous, it's just a very simple little test."

Then Mo Ao took out the wooden and bamboo knives for practice from his storage space.

"Ah~~~ Senior, where did you put these things?" Renzi saw Mo Ao took out two knives from an inexplicable place again, and his curiosity was aroused again.

"I told you it's a secret." Mo Ao said so, then looked at Leizi who wanted to ask more questions, and shot him to death with one sentence. "And now it's testing time."

"Yes!" When it came to the test, Saenko immediately calmed down. It seemed that no matter what happened in the future, Saten still had [-]% enthusiasm for the practice of kendo.

"Then Saten, this time we are testing only one movement, and that is the chopping movement you practiced before. Let me demonstrate it to you first."

Renzi couldn't help blushing when she heard Mo Ao talking about her reckless practice before, but seeing that Mo Ao didn't mean to laugh at her extraneously, she quickly calmed down and watched Mo Ao's demonstration seriously.

Mo Ao handed the bamboo knife to Leizi's hand, holding the wooden knife for practice with both hands.

"In the standard hacking action, the key point is that the knife must be stable. You must be able to concentrate your strength on a line, mainly relying on your elbows and shoulders. When holding the knife, the right hand is in front, of course, the opposite is true for left-handers. The right hand should be raised behind the head, while the left hand should not exceed the back of the head. When chopping, the center of gravity of the body leans slightly forward. The purpose is to use the strength of the waist. It is said that the so-called "strength starts from the ground". In fact, all the strength comes from the feet. We set off on the road, but this is too far away for you so we won’t mention it.”

"After chopping, the hands must be steady. Hold the handle of the knife with both hands and land near the lower ribs. The body of the knife is tilted forward, forming an angle of about 53°."

While talking, Mo Ao showed Leizi three standard but rigid slashing movements that seemed to be in a textbook.

"I'll try to explain it in terms that you can understand, but these are just theories. Except for the method of exerting force, which must be followed, everything else depends on the specific situation. Try it, Saiko. Use a wooden knife."

"Eh? Eh? Me?" Renzi looked at Mo Ao, and suddenly she was at a loss for asking her to do it.

Mo Ao handed the wooden knife to Leizi, knotted the bamboo knife, and watched Leizi slash a little stiffly as Mo Ao just did.

"Don't pay too much attention to my movements, no matter the standard or not, your movements must be smooth, otherwise standard movements will be meaningless like an unwinding puppet." Mo Ao said, and then Leizi He followed Mo Ao's words and hacked again.

"It's not bad this time, try this one." Mo Ao commented indifferently, then handed over the bamboo knife and took back the wooden knife.

So Leizi made another slashing motion with the bamboo knife.Although she herself doesn't know why.

"Well, let me ask you now, Sarenko. How many times do you think you can practice chopping with a wooden knife?"

"Huh? Well... about... a hundred times, no, maybe I can't move it after dozens of times." Renzi scratched her head and said embarrassingly.

"Then, is it okay to chop a hundred times with a bamboo knife?" Mo Ao continued to ask.

"Bamboo sword...should be able to do it..." Saten was a little uncertain.

"Okay, then I will announce the content of the test now." Mo Ao nodded, and took back the wooden knife, leaving only a bamboo knife in Leizi's hand. "Practice chopping with a bamboo knife a thousand times, start now."

"One! A thousand times!" Renzi's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief. "No! No! I can't do this kind of thing, senior!"

"This is just a test, I didn't ask you to pass it." However, Mo Ao didn't show any wavering at all, and said sternly.

"But......"

"Either give up, or start, two thousand more times!"

"..." Leizi looked at Mo Ao who suddenly became indifferent and heartless, she was at a loss, she was stunned for a while, then gritted her teeth and said. "Yes! Senior!"

In the park, next to the wooden chair, Mo Ao sat on the chair, and the girl repeated chopping movements again and again in the open space.

"Raise your arms up! Up again! Don't you have the strength?"

"Look ahead when swinging the knife, don't look around!"

"How many times have I told you to keep your arms steady! Hold your knife tight! Is your hand hurt too? Do you need to go back to the hospital?!"

Mo Ao kept sitting on the wooden chair, yelling and cursing, while correcting Leizi's wrong movements.The tone was very harsh, without any mercy.

Saten began to swing the knife a little fast, about one knife per second, but soon she began to pant, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Go on! Go on! Don't stop! Use your arms! Do you want to be lazy so lightly?!"

This is a park, and gradually Mo Ao's scolding and tears waving a knife began to attract the attention of passers-by.

"Don't look around, let others watch if others want to see, do your own thing, and leave them alone!"

......

Time passed bit by bit, more and more people were watching, Renzi also began to lose his strength, and the hand wielding the knife became slower and slower, from the first one knife per second, to two seconds per second, and three second one knife.

"Senior...I forgot about myself...how many times have I done it?" Sudden gasp in Leizi's eyes.

"Go on! Don't think about those things, I will help you count. Adjust your breathing, pay attention to your movements, don't talk, go on!"

......

"Senior... is that enough?" Saten felt that her hands were going numb, if possible, she really wanted to just stop like this, and never want to move again.She is just an ordinary middle school girl!I have never done such a tiring thing in my life.

"Go on! Come on! It's not here yet! Go on!"

......

"Senior... is that enough?" Laizi already felt that she couldn't feel her hands at this time, she was just doing movements mechanically, her back and body were completely soaked in sweat, and her forehead was even more so. The sweat was pouring down like rain, and it was very uncomfortable to have the soaked bangs sticking to her forehead, but she couldn't care about it.

"Go on! Come on! It's almost there! It's not there yet!"

......

"Senior...my hand will be broken." The test was still going on, and Saten's voice this time had a crying tone.

"Tell me after it breaks, come on! Keep going!" However, no matter what, Mo Ao's stern voice of cheering was the only thing waiting.

"Well... I think it's better to let this girl stop. She is already so tired, isn't she?" A student in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said.

"If you want to give up, I will not stop you, if you are not ready to give up, just continue!" Mo Ao ignored the student who stood up, and said to Leizi who was still practicing chopping movements.

......

"Senior... is that enough?" Saten's voice was weak, and her movements became slower and stiffer.It seemed that she could vaguely feel that she was crying.
