Chapter 215: Kendo Rookie
After hearing these words, Ming Yan sighed slightly, he didn't expect that the common people of this country lived so fearfully, and they had to live under the oppression of the rich every day, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful.
"So, we need someone to justify the name of the civilian samurai, only in this way, the status of the civilian samurai will be a little higher, and those guys in the kendo hall will be more restrained. The poor boy said.
"This rookie is an opportunity. ”
The girl stared at Naruto with burning eyes, in her opinion, the civilian samurai was probably the only one in front of her who had the strength to come out on top, and the others, including herself, were just competing for the faint hope of that.
In fact, there will be no big fluctuations in the results, and even she guessed the results, the top five are occupied by the major kendo halls, and only the top ten can squeeze in such a civilian-born samurai, but that will not play a role at all.
The top 10 and the top 50 are similar in nature, and only the top three, preferably in the first place, can highlight the value.
Rookie kendo.
The second time Naruhiko heard this, it seemed to be a gladiatorial arena where samurai competed with each other, and the higher the ranking, the more likely it was to be noticed by the daimyo and enjoy a series of preferential treatments.
And their samurai from civilian backgrounds, no one has ever entered the top five, so it will create the humble status of the current civilian samurai, the daimyo does not value it, does not give support, and leaves them to fend for themselves, of course, those rich children of the kendo hall can bully them at will.
Sure enough, the current situation is still caused by the state, which almost acquiesces in the existence of this inequality, even if it develops into a devil and is out of control, the state is too lazy to care.
Because the civilian samurai, those mediocre talents, for the state, there is no need to pay attention.
The country is fully capable of producing a large number of such samurai, but what is lacking is the elite and leaders, where do these people come from, they are naturally selected from the outstanding talents in the kendo hall.
Through these, Ming Yan basically understood the humanity of this country.
But what can he do to change the status quo by his own ability? That's just a fool's fantasy.
"Can you give us a chance to turn around?" said the poor boy.
Ming Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am afraid it will be whimsical to change the status quo alone." ”
The poor boy was very serious, "It's not whimsical, but it's completely possible." ”
"Yes, as long as there are samurai who represent our civilians and win a good ranking, the daimyo will definitely support us in the future, although we can't reach the status of the kendo hall, but in the future, we will take this opportunity to face ourselves, as you said, if we get back the arrogance in our bones, we will definitely not be bullied by those people in the kendo hall at will. ”
The two sang and harmonized, Ming Yan was slightly moved, he participated in this so-called kendo rookie, maybe he could really find the pride to resist oppression for these poor children, and the dignity that had long been defeated by reality.
"However, I'm not from Tanokuni. Ming Yan spread his hands, almost powerless.
"Please rest assured, kendo rookie is an event for all samurai who advocate kendo, regardless of borders, only in terms of swordsmanship, of course, if you perform well, the daimyo will definitely use many benefits to retain you, that is almost the highest treatment, once you are favored by the daimyo, you will not have to worry about anything in the future, and, if the great swordsman sees that you have good qualifications, he will accept you as an apprentice, and the future is bright. ”
The poor boy's eyes are full of yearning, whether he is favored by the daimyo or chosen by the sword hero, it is the road to the pinnacle of life, flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.
It's a pity that he doesn't have this qualification, but the boy in front of him definitely has this qualification.
"The reason why there are no borders is because the main participants are the samurai of the country of Tian, accounting for 95% of the total, and the top ten are almost contracted by the country of Tian, and they are not afraid of being robbed of the limelight by other countries, and it has been the case for many years, competing in swordsmanship, few outsiders surpass the samurai of the country of Tian, just because the country of Tian has a deep foundation in swordsmanship. The poor boy added.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in that. ”
The more Ming Yan listened, the more wrong he became, and he walked forward quickly, he didn't come here for the fancy of any big name, let alone to worship Jianhao as a teacher.
He wasn't interested in these seemingly beautiful things at all.
The poor boy saw that Ming Yan quickened his pace, and couldn't help but wonder, could he have said the wrong thing?
Hurry up and catch up with the girl and say all the good things to save this boy who is enough to change the situation.
"Let me tell you this, I don't want to compete as my real identity. Naruto said a little impatiently.
"You can impostor, it just so happens that I have a partner who is sick in bed and can't participate in this kendo rookie, and from now on, you are my partner - Naoki Shimizu. ”
"Is this possible?"
"Absolutely no problem, the participants are mixed, as long as they are between the ages of seven and thirteen, they don't carry any dangerous goods, and they don't make trouble in the arena, they can go in, besides, no one will pay attention to us long-forgotten civilians, and those popular players who are most likely to win the championship in the kendo gym are the focus of everyone's attention. The poor boy said.
……
So, Ming Yan agreed in a daze, and from now on, he has one more identity - Shimizu Naoki.
"When will it start?" asked Naruhi.
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. ”
"What are the kids of those kendo halls doing in droves on the streets today?"
"It's all about visiting the stadium, understanding the process, and getting to the bottom by the way. The poor boy replied.
"Then we don't have to go?"
"There's no need, with your strength, there's no need to visit the arena, just go tomorrow and take a general look. ”
Ming Yan could hear that this was praising him, but he couldn't be happy at all, he impersonated someone else to compete, he couldn't get any benefits, it was all for the status of a civilian samurai in the country of Tano, if he hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have agreed.
It's just that the oppression is so bad that even he can't stand it.
"I won the first place and became a rookie in kendo in this period, but there was a prize of two million taels. The girl suddenly remembered this.
Hearing this, Ming Yan was interested, the daimyo and Jianhao took a fancy to him, he didn't care, but this high bonus, he cared a lot, out of Konoha, no matter what he did, it would cost money, and it would cost him six hundred taels a day to live in a hotel, plus food and other expenses, it would cost at least eight hundred taels a day.
For the two million taels of bonus, he had to go all out and come out on top.
After a few more conversations, we got to know each other for a while, just knowing each other's names.
In the end, under the leadership of the indigenous people, Ming Yan found a fairly good place to practice - the empty grass near the flower garden, but it was quiet and comfortable, and basically no one came here.
"In Tanokuni, there are many places like this. "Yu Sakata said, it's the poor boy.
Naruto smiled, it was much better to have a native guide than him running around.
However, he didn't know the way back, and he had just made many detours and forgot to draw the route.
In the end, I had to be embarrassed to let them bring it back the same way, and the happy scene of Ming Yan taking out a small book to draw the route was seen by the two of them, and they couldn't stop laughing, but they didn't expect such a powerful boy to be a complete road idiot.
It's hard to believe that this road is not complicated......
