Winter vacation begins after the second semester of each year when Japanese high school students collectively complete their Christmas school festival. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, how to celebrate Christmas, an important holiday in the West, varies from place to place and from high school to high school.

Naturally, there was a grand celebration of the campus festival at Aoba Dodai High School, and throughout the day, not only the students of the whole school went crazy, but even the teachers and leaders of the school were dragged crazy by the students.

On the second day, on the 26th, the school officially closed.

After returning home after a long day's work, Kasugayun rested at home for 3 days before he finished the retreat.

It's not that Kasugayun wants to do this, but in addition to going crazy with his classmates in the previous school campus festival, he also secretly came out to find his newly recognized neighbor beauty Aizawa Mado, and pulled the cold goddess of the school out on a solo date.

Well, speaking of which, the big guys should guess one or two, on the day of the campus festival, Kasugamo not only has to ensure that he and the beautiful Aizawa date is successful, but also has to spend a lot of effort to avoid the many people who know the two in the school, ah no...... It should be the eyes and ears of the classmates who know the beautiful Aizawa.

When I think of these spring clouds, my heart is full of tiredness!

But compared to the harvest, Kasugamo still thinks it's worth it.

First of all, it's one thing to have fun at the campus festival;

The second is that for his newly met neighbor beauty Aizawa, Kasugamo found that she was actually not as cold as many people at school looked like!

Ever since Kamidai knew her and knew that Aizawa was actually his neighbor, the two young people had grown bigger and bigger when outsiders couldn't know about it.

Although it's not as good as a childhood sweetheart, but at least the cold girl in the eyes of the classmates in the school on weekdays will occasionally make a little joke with the spring cloud in private, and from time to time she will smile sweetly in the chat of the spring cloud.

This made Tekaharu cloud feel more and more that after a few days of contact with Aizawa, she actually felt that Aizawa was a very cute girl!

………………

On this day, it was already more than half of the winter vacation, and it was a weekend afternoon in early January.

Aizawa led the Kasugayun who had made an appointment with him, and the two came to a building not far from the Nakazato Elementary School in the ward.

Aizawa Shinshin-ryu Kendo Hall.

This is an ancient bushido kendo school located on the 8th floor of the building, which was renovated with 1/3 of the floor space.

Everyone understands the name of this kendo hall!

Yes, the owner of this kendo gym is Aizawa......

To be precise, it's a swordsmanship martial arts hall founded by the father of Madoka Aizawa, a beautiful neighbor who Kasugamo knows!

According to Aizawa, one of his family's ancestors named Mohiko Aizawa was once a famous kendo master in the prefecture during the shogunate period.

After several generations of management, the Aizawa Shinshinryu Kendokan finally took root here in Yokohama's Aoba Ward, and multiplied to the current generation of Madoka Aizawa and her brother Eiji Aizawa.

Well, things that have a history usually have a reason for their existence.

For this reason, Kasugamo talked to Madoka Aizawa one day about her desire to learn kendo, and hoped to find some doubts that would improve her skills in baseball about shooting.

Outcome...... That's what we do today!

Since it was a weekend, when Kasugamo and Aizawa Madoka came to the kendo gym, it was just in time for the owner of the gym, Eiji Aizawa, who was giving a lesson to his students, explaining some basic techniques about his family's sacred flow of kendo.

Kasuga-un was greeted by Madoka Aizawa and found a place behind the students to kneel down.

At this time, kneeling in the innermost center of the gym, the owner of the hall, Eiji Aizawa, was saying some martial arts mantras similar to those used to be used by Kasugamo when he was a child when he was a child.

It's just that what Kasugayun is hearing right now is a martial arts mantra with strong Japanese regional language characteristics, so this makes him, who only knows how to dictate modern Japanese on weekdays, when listening to this somewhat ancient Japanese regional language, he understands some of it, and the others are like listening to heavenly books, so uncomfortable!

Well, if you don't know what it's like!?

For example, I think the ignorance of elementary school students when they listen to the curriculum of junior high school students is generally the same!

Fortunately, the lecture time of the owner of the museum, Rongzhi, was quickly finished.

And then it was the moment when he personally went on the field and demonstrated his swordsmanship skills with the students, and this also woke up Kasuga, who was drowsy from listening to the ancient Japanese dialect just now.

I saw the owner of the hall, Rong Zhi, holding a wooden sword in front of him, holding it in both hands, and the tip of the sword was facing a student in front of him who was demonstrating his swordsmanship skills.

Then, when the student was ready, he suddenly shouted and raised his sword and slashed off the head of the hall owner, Eiji.

These hall owners Rong Zhi flashed lightly to the side, and the wooden sword in his hand swung up horizontally and blocked the student's sword from top to bottom to his waist, and then the hall owner Rong Zhi stuck the student's right foot with one foot, and the other foot and body at the same time drove him to grab the right hand holding the other party's sword, so smart The student fell forward.

Then, after the student stood up and bowed in thanks, the owner of the hall, Eiji, and the student demonstrated a few sets of routines again, all of which were all after the opponent slashed with a sword, and at the moment when the moving sword collided between the swords, he implemented the method of grasping the opponent's hand to form a suppression and then using skills to fall down.

"Hela~~ Everyone has seen it, this is about our Shenxin Flow swordsmanship in the face of the opponent's various basic slashes, how to exercise skills to turn defeat into victory! …… You have to watch it, memorize it, and then work hard to practice it, and deeply engrave these movements into your own instinctive reactions, so that you can be considered to have learned a reward! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After the personal teaching of the hall owner Rongzhi was completed, the students gave him a warm applause.

Even Kasuga, who was watching the demonstration behind the students, was very embarrassed, and the applause was crackling.

After that, Kasuga Cloud and Aizawa Madoka watched the students practice the skills taught by the hall owner Eiji for about 30 minutes before they dispersed after class.

At this time, Kasuga Cloud finally waited for the opportunity to come here alone to Eiji, the elder brother of Aizawa, and ask for swordsmanship skills face-to-face.

So after another explanation, and after the request of the girl Aizawa Mado, the owner of the pavilion, Eiji, finally understood the purpose of Kasuga's visit this time, and he said: "Oh~~ I see, you want to learn the skills of kendo, from which you can extract something useful for your baseball!" ~Hehe...... Well, I promised you! ”

"Oh~~ No, ah no~~ Hey~~~ Brother Aizawa, you agreed!?"

The owner of the pavilion, Eiji, looked at Kasugayun very amusementously and said, "If you heard it right, yes! ”

“~~~”

"Thank you so much!" Kasugamo immediately knelt on the tatami and bowed to the owner of the building, Eiji, to thank him.

The owner of the pavilion, Rongji, unexpectedly and smoothly agreed to his request, which really made Kasuchi very surprised and surprised. Because he was still thinking about learning from a teacher, maybe the people here would have to do some strange rituals or what price he would have to pay!

Outcome...... After thinking about it, they nodded and agreed, how can this not surprise Kasugayun!

In fact, speaking of which, the reason why the owner of the pavilion, Rongji, agreed to Kasuga's request so quickly, firstly, Kasugayun was neighbors with their two brothers and sisters; The second reason is that the Japanese attach great importance to the inheritance of their traditions.

In Japan, if you know anything about it, you will know that in the development of traditional martial arts such as kendo and karate, the master of the instructor will always be absolutely unreserved in the teaching of the students and disciples he chooses.

Unlike in our country, martial arts families have a tradition of learning behind closed doors since ancient times, and the core technology is only passed on to the descendants, not to the descendants.

It is precisely because the Japanese are much more developed and advanced in this area than our domestic martial arts circles, that the Japanese feel that this unreserved passing on their knowledge faster and wider is the most effective protection of tradition.

Then again.

After the owner of the hall, Eiji, agreed to teach Kasuga cloud the swordsmanship skills of Shenxinliu, he asked him to change into the Japanese clothes worn by the students of the gym.

And teach Kasuga Cloud, a rookie who doesn't understand Japanese kendo at all, from the inside out about some important etiquette and precautions for kendo.

The owner of the hall, Rong Zhi, solemnly put on his head shield at this time, knelt down in front of Kasuga Cloud with his upper body straight, and said solemnly: "First of all, if you want to learn kendo, then you must learn from our usual attitude towards kendo!"

For kendo, it is one of our traditional Japanese martial arts, with a variety of breathing styles, etiquette, movements, and moves;

The so-called 'Tao' is a way of life and thinking that belongs to the swordsman;

It is an ability that requires long-term and hard training of swordsmen to gain something!

In the 21st century, the 'Dao' is no longer limited to the samurai and monks, but is gradually recognized by ordinary people, and has been practiced in all walks of life, and you can find a realistic embodiment of the 'Dao' even in your daily life. ”

Speaking of which, after a series of kneeling salutes and salutes, the hall owner Rongji and Kasugayun are finally going to start the actual combat drills!

I saw that at this time, Kasugayun was holding a bamboo sword in both hands, placing it in front of him, and always pointed the tip of the sword at the pavilion owner Rongji in front of him, wearing it on the face of the head cover, his eyes were staring at the opponent's movements, and he was paying close attention to the attack launched by the other party at any time.

On the other hand, the owner of the pavilion, Eiji, seemed much more relaxed and ordinary, although he also put on a posture, but did not take the initiative to attack, but reminded Kasuga Cloud in that teaching style: "Modern kendo is more about advocating the concept of peace, while successfully protecting one's own safety, sports skills to defeat the opponent!" So many times, this kind of swordsmanship is much higher than the killing skills of the samurai and swordsmen who killed the enemy on the battlefield in ancient times, and the use of skills is much higher, come on, try to attack me with your strongest blow and see......"

"Hai~~" Spring clouds should arrive.

Then, after going around half a circle in front of the hall owner Eji, Kasugayun pounced with a sword.

His attack is very simple, it is a sword stab!

Since the distance between the two was not very far, only three steps apart, it seemed to Kasugamo that the action of holding the sword in front at this time was the most suitable for a sudden attack and a straight stab to attack.

However, just as he shouted, the bamboo sword in his hand stabbed straight into the chest of the pavilion owner Rongji, the pavilion owner Rongji did not retreat and advanced half a step forward, and the sword in his hand lightly knocked the sword that Kasugayun stabbed over, and then the pavilion owner Rongji stepped forward to lock the straight stab action of Kasugayun with a sword, grabbed his right hand with one hand, and inserted a foot into the position where Kasuga's front foot was jammed, and used the same grappling action that he had just done to the demonstration student, and he fell out of Kasugayun with a light swing.

"Plop~"

"Huh!? That was ...... just now."

At this time, Kasuga, who fell to the ground, didn't feel much pain, so he looked at the owner of the pavilion Eiji very strangely and looked at him puzzled. (To be continued.) )
