Chapter Twenty-Six: The Duel of Souls and Demon Dreams
Gently tap the children's buttocks with a bamboo knife to make them get up, and then demonstrate some basic swordsmanship movements to the children.
First of all, start with the three elements of swordsmanship, and all swordsmanship in the world starts with these three points.
Slashing, stabbing, and stabbing are important foundations of swordsmanship.
Swinging the sword downward is a split, sending the sword out is a thorn, and falling with the tip of the sword is a point.
After that, more tricks are derived.
If you split and then make changes, from the bottom to the top is a tease, the force of the sudden retreat is a collapse, the attack on the enemy's void is a cut, it is generally a sword move used when the distance is opened, and the wrist changes again and can be combined with other skills to attack many times.
Thorns are the best way to strike with a long sword and shorten the distance. Wipe, wear, pick, etc. pay attention to this, which can also be combined with other skills to change, the general opening can be used unexpectedly, there are high requirements for the waist and arms.
Point is the most basic skill of the three, testing eyesight and reflexes, and at the same time has extremely demanding requirements for body control. Hooking, hanging, and twisting are further changes, and they are the most reflective of whether a person's foundation is solid in swordsmanship.
Considering that Gensokyo's customs are closer to Japan, and that children's interests may be more inclined to use weapons such as swords.
Kenya's teaching is first and foremost focused on splitting.
After demonstrating the movement, and emphasizing the angle of the elbow and the force of the back after knocking on the door.
He shook his hand and let them try it for themselves.
However, there will be a big difference in practice.
Kenya carefully observed the children's learning.
Most of the children have quickly understood the essentials, and a few are still just messing around.
But as far as sword moves are concerned, as long as you work hard, it is only a matter of time before you learn it, and of course mastery is another matter.
The students also complained while wielding bamboo knives that were a little unfamiliar to them.
On the one hand, he pointed out the children who didn't know the essentials, and on the other hand, he deliberately praised the students who had good movements.
The children who are praised quickly show a higher fighting spirit, and the ones who are instructed work harder to observe each other and learn from experience.
Jian Ya nodded secretly, after previous observations, it can be seen that these students are basically children with good minds and bodies.
Kenya also wanted to cultivate the competitive spirit between the children, grasp the proportions, and guide everyone.
Of course, they tried to be in a place they didn't know, and they just tapped it with a bamboo sword slightly.
Self-confidence is also very important.
The students quickly became more energetic, and if you pay attention, you can see that the morale of the whole group is slowly rising, the shouting gradually becomes neat and regular, and the bamboo knives are not as half-hung as they were at the beginning.
A slightly bit of a look.
…… Is there a conscious effort to adjust each child's breathing...... It's not bad
With Erlang's legs crossed, he looked at Kenya and their sister Hong, yawning while eating Huiyin's homemade sesame cakes.
"Whew~...... Why, aren't you a good teacher? ”
"I'm a little surprised, too? Kenya is unexpectedly serious, and the students are so obedient. ”
"After all, he is also the one who can make the cunning Tengu apologize. Everybody's scared. But what is the name ......of that dojo?
"We thought about it and decided on the name. In a sense, a name is just something that is convenient to refer to. The dojo is also just for the sake of reinforcing sports. ”
“…… It would be nice if no one kicked the gym, but since I went into the depths of the tengu, I came back alive. That guy isn't as harmless as he looks, but he's killed a lot of people. ”
"No, thank you unexpectedly Yakumo Murasaki, she seems to have said something to the Heavenly Demon. I'm afraid that other big monsters have also come into contact. At first, I didn't expect to involve so many big people. ”
"yes...... After all, they're all famous big monsters, ahh But short-sightedness is not enough. Especially the practice of kendo, but that guy doesn't look like he's too honest. Soon there will be a friend who will come to the door for advice. ”
"Ah, that...... The court master of the White Jade Building, right?"
"Hmm. Her words will come soon, isn't it? Perhaps, she has already set out for here. They often buy food in the world."
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong...... It is one of the famous sayings shed by the ancients.
There is also a saying that if you don't die, you won't die.
It was a large house that dwelt in the Netherworld, where the souls of the dead gathered.
Among them, the half-human, half-spirit who serves as the gardener and master of the White Jade Tower's swordsmanship instructor is the soul demon dream
Her grandfather, in Huiyin's impression, is a rare swordsman in her life.
With the swordsmanship that surpassed the limit of the half-human and half-spirit physique, countless people changed their views on the Bai Yulou who had just arrived.
After that, it suddenly disappeared, without warning, and was never heard from again.
After his granddaughter Banshee Meng inherited the position of the White Jade Mansion Master and killed some of the monsters who came to provoke her.
The world has never underestimated the court master of Bai Yulou again.
Her words were very tricky.
Although he is full of praise for Kenya's swordsmanship, he is only full of praise.
In Gensokyo, it can only be regarded as a relatively special skill, and it can't make up for the gap in strength after all.
It may be an unattainable level for humans, but for youkai, it is only a matter of time before they surpass him.
Even if it is not as talented as some gifted monsters, the half-human and half-spirit are also existences with a physique far beyond that of humans.
What's more, the opponent is a famous family who has practiced swordsmanship from generation to generation, and he faces an opponent whose strength and technique are far superior to that of Kenya.
Huiyin didn't think Kenya had any chance of winning.
Even if he is almost evenly matched with the white wolf Tengu's inu, or he is lucky enough to injure Kurama Tengu's sword.
Those are just based on the fact that the other party is surprised by the swordsmanship and is negligent.
Huiyin knows very well, just like Kenya takes his own kendo seriously.
The soul demon dreamed of her, and she had never had the slightest negligence on the person who used the sword.
I look forward to it from the bottom of my heart, Jian Ya will not meet such a character, so the wife will teach the child peacefully.
Then find a wife, give birth to an heir, and finally spend his old age in the world.
In this way, life is suitable for him, and humans will not be the opponent of youkai after all.
Looking at Jian Ya, who was carefully teaching the sword over there, Huiyin sighed
…… If only it could be that simple.
===================================
When I first saw the signboard hanging at the main entrance of the private school, I was surprised that the shopping basket on my wrist also fell off.
In fact, the White Jade Tower is one of the farthest places in Gensokyo from the world.
Youmu, who realized the importance of information transmission for a moment, couldn't help but clench her fists when she looked at the name of the dojo.
A snow-white half-spirit of the demon dream appeared next to her, half of her body cooperating with her, hovering fiercely.
Fidgeting feelings, isn't that true?
Youmeng felt the presence of two knives tied to his back, closed his eyes, and let out a loud cry to dispel distracting thoughts.
When he opened his eyes again, he knocked on the door with a smile of absolute confidence in his swordsmanship.
"Under the soul demon dream, come to kick the hall!"
At that time, Jianya, who was finally resting, tasted the rice cakes brought by Meihong with the bear children who were tired of lying in the corridor.
The sudden visitor almost choked his throat with the rice cake, so he took the herbal tea handed by the student and poured it down.
Look at the appearance of Youmu. Huiyin and Meihong sighed.
Is it already here.......
But she didn't seem to know Kenya's appearance, and just greeted him frankly.
"What's the matter?"
"Is this a no-name dojo!? 」
"Yes"
"I am the court master in charge of gardening and swordsmanship instruction in the White Jade Building, and I am a soul demon dream. Are you a martial arts teacher here?"
The word swordsmanship guidance made Kenya raise his eyebrows.
At first, I was going to observe the other party's situation first.,Kenya, who is not familiar with Gensokyo.,In order not to be contained, he deliberately responded calmly.。
But unexpectedly, the other party was very happy to protect his home.
In fact, the challenger who took the initiative to come like this, Kenya was very happy, and besides, the other party was also a swordsman.
It's just that I didn't expect someone to come and kick the gym just after the dojo started
"Yes, my name is Kenya. How about a snack first? Now I'm resting. ”
"Okay, okay......"
Is it that Jian Ya's words are too dominant, or is it that Youmengsheng is too serious?
Youmeng, who also looks like a child, also mixes with them and eats rice cakes.
Kenya observed the other party's appearance.
The short silver hair is tied up with a black bow, and the body is delicate but carries a long knife.
Judging from the appearance of the long knife and the small knife, it belongs to the two-day first-class in the second knife stream.
It's a very difficult genre.
Sitting next to Jian Ya, who analyzes the strength of the other party, Huiyin and Meihong silently watch the trend of things.
They don't think it's going to be that easy.
The children also noticed that the color of the air had changed, and the originally noisy corridors had slowly quieted down.
"So, what's the matter?"
"Ha! Your Highness Jianya, no matter what, I'll fight with you!"
"Bamboo knives?
"Needless to say......"
Youmeng leaped forward, widened the distance, and held her hand on the hilt of the long knife.
Kenya also picked up the Budu Imperial Soul Sword that was placed on the side of the corridor and stood up from the corridor.
"Not here. Because of the laws of the world, you can't draw your sword rashly. Let's go outside."
Coming to the vast countryside on the west side of Renli, Kenya and Youmu confronted each other.
Faced with the demon dream who had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Kenya stood straight with his arms down.
"Is there anything you want to say before we start? ”
"There's not much to say. That's all that was said just now, right?"
"So let's get started—"
"Good!"
Kenya, who was swaying from side to side, had a serious expression.
At that moment, in front of the eyes of the demon dream, a blue and white sword light approached.
In an instant, he pulled out the long knife forged by the monster, the Lou Zhen Sword.
Then the small sword that struck towards Kenya's flank was the White House Sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Soul Family.
He used the Louguan Sword to open the sword light, and he didn't panic at all in the face of the sword attack from the White Mansion Sword.
Instead, his eyes lit up and he trembled with excitement.
Since coming to Gensokyo, Kenya has seen a lot of big shots, and he has also experienced dozens of battles.
Countless battles of youkai in the forest, raids of Shanghai dolls, and battles under the moon of Kurama Tengu.
Also, the momentum of the big monster Yakumo Purple and the Heavenly Demon oppression.
Although each one is a memory worthy of emotion, although he has never said it, Kenya actually doesn't like this kind of battle.
Yes, he did not like such brute force fights.
Not to mention the skills of ordinary youkai fighting, the bayonet sword of the Shanghai puppet and the tin staff of Kurama Tengu are the only opponents with some skill in Kenya's impression.
The Shanghai puppet's stabbing sword is too weak to be used as a reference for its own swordsmanship.
Kurama Tengu's moves are good, and there may be changes later, but Kenya is a human after all, and he can't compare to a youkai with such a huge power as Tengu.
Besides, the other party didn't use all his strength.
After facing the oppression of Yakumo Purple and the Heavenly Demon's momentum, Kenya knew his own flaws now.
After all, it's too shallow in knowledge.
There are many strong people worth referring to in Gensokyo, but now Kenya doesn't have this ability, and if he wants to see the real ability, he thinks he is still far behind.
Therefore, he carefully observed the sword momentum of Youmeng, and since the first sword just now, he has not taken the initiative to attack.
is also a dexterous and fast sword way, and the swordsmanship of Demon Dream can be used as a lot of reference for him.
This is more important than the guidance of Kurama Tengu, and all martial arts are practiced from the battlefield.
Fight to feed the war.
Also, compared to the tension of Kurama Tengu's time, it's more of a game-like fun.
Youmu doesn't have the same sense of oppression as Kurama, which is also a reason why Kenya can observe the opponent's swordsmanship with spare energy like this.
Of course, a duel with a dojo sign was proposed, and there was no intention of cutting corners.
