Still, Ogata quickly adjusted his mindset.

Since the other subsequent sword skills can only be unlocked after the level of the two sword streams increases, it is okay to slowly increase the level.

Moreover, the three sword skills that are currently open to the selfless two sword streams are also quite trial skills, so the faint sense of loss in Ogata's heart has also been made up.

The unlockable sword skills that are currently available for the two blades are Breath of the Source, Step Step, and Blade Return.

Ogata recalls the introduction of these three sword techniques that he had just seen in the book "No Self Two Sword Stream".

Source Breath can help people improve their concentration, and according to the book, this Source Breath is a shortcut to the state that sounds quite powerful just - the "selfless realm".

The step is a type of footwork designed for combat, and if you can use it skillfully, you will be able to dodge enemy attacks and get close to them more easily.

Blade return is a special technique that can block the enemy's attack, which is considered a defensive skill.

Looking at these 3 skills to be unlocked, Ogata hesitated for a while.

All three of these skills seem to be quite useful.

Which one to unlock first - Ogata is really hesitant about this question.

It wasn't until his ass was sitting a little painful that Ogata finally made his decision.

- Unlock "Breath of the Source" and "Blade Return"!

【Ding! Spend 1 skill point to unlock "Breath of the Source", current "Breath of the Source" level: Initial Stage]

[Current Remaining Skill Points: 1 point]

【Ding! Spend 1 skill point to unlock "Blade Return", current "Blade Return" level: Initial Stage]

[Current Remaining Skill Points: 0 points]

In the blink of an eye, Ogata turned back into a poor bastard with 0 skill points.

Distress is distress, but compared to the joy gained after unlocking the two-sword swordsmanship of "Selfless Two Sword Streams" and learning two quite practical sword skills, this little distress is not enough to worry about.

Although stepping is also a very practical skill, in Ogata's eyes, stepping is still worse than bladeback.

So Ogata decided to unlock the blade return first, and wait for the skill points to be there later.

"Okay......"

Ogata let out a long breath and whispered in a volume that only he could hear:

"Next...... It's just slowly waiting for the brothers to get off work......"

Ogata's brothers and sisters also go to the feudal office during the day to perform their duties.

Therefore, it is only when it is approaching dusk and everyone gets off work that the Sakakibara Sword Hall can gradually become lively.

"I really want to find someone to test my new sword skills soon......"

After muttering like this, he leaned back, leaning against the wall behind him, napping, catching up on sleep, and waiting for dusk to come.

……

……

When the sky began to turn a little yellow and dark, he couldn't wait to come to the Sakakihara Sword Hall.

Because it's still a little early, there aren't many people in the dojo right now.

But an acquaintance of Ogata was among them.

"Mikami-senpai!"

Ogata smiled and walked towards the senior brother whom he respected very much.

"Oooh! Ogata, you're here, it's said that the master helped you take a day off today, how about it? After resting for 1 day, how is the body recovering? ”

"When I woke up this morning, I was back to normal. It's you, Mikami-senpai. Ogata pointed to the right side of his face, "Is your face okay?" ”

Mikami's right side of his face is still a little swollen today.

"Hahaha!" Mikami laughed heartily a few times, "Don't worry, although it still hurts a little, it's out of the way." ”

I don't know if it's because of Mikami's natural resilience, Mikami's cheeks, which were high and swollen yesterday, have now disappeared a lot.

Looking at Mikami's appearance of a vigorous tiger, Mikami should have really recovered well, and he can laugh with Ogata and come to the dojo to practice swords.

"Ogata. I've heard it all this morning, you went to the Ishikawa Sword Museum yesterday and made a big fuss, right? ”

Last night, Mikami had been in a coma, so it wasn't until he woke up this morning that he learned about Ogata's feat yesterday from the others.

Without waiting for Ogata to respond, Mikami sighed lightly and continued:

"Now that this matter is over, I won't say anything more."

"What kind of conflict do you have with that distant mountain—it's your private matter, so I won't ask too much."

"I'll just mention one sentence - Ogata, you must pay more attention in the future, that distant mountain already has a deep contradiction with you, and after you made a big fuss at the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion last night, his contradiction with you is even deeper."

"I have heard from the master just now that he has successfully reached a consensus with Ishikawa Bingma, the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, today - yesterday's series of turmoil, both sides took a step back and stopped making things bigger."

"We and Ishikawa Sword Pavilion each lost a little money to each other, and yesterday's series of turmoil is over."

"Ishikawa Terama also told the master personally - he has strictly forbidden the disciples led by Toyama to trouble our Sakakihara Sword Pavilion again, especially not to trouble you anymore."

"But—although Ishikawa's soldiers and horses have given a strict order, whether he obeys it or not is another matter."

"So Ogata, you have to be careful in the future."

"While you're walking down the street and you're not looking, he rushes over and slashes you—judging by his temper at the far side, he's really done that."

"It's not just about being careful on a day-to-day basis."

"Be extra careful about the god sacrifice competition in a month!"

"This god sacrifice contest is a contest between you and that distant mountain!"

"It's very likely that that Yuanshan will deliberately take revenge on you in the god sacrifice competition!"

"Anyway - Ogata, be careful in the days to come."

Mikami patted Ogata on the shoulder.

"If you have any difficulties, or if you need help, you can feel free to come to Senior Brother."

"Senior brother, I can help you, and I will help you as much as possible."

"Yes." Ogata smiled, "If I really encounter a crisis in the future that needs your help, Senior Brother Mikami, I will 'send' you as much as I can." ”

"Hahaha! Then I would rather welcome your 'sent' to me! ”

Ogata looked around.

"By the way, what about the master? Master, isn't he in the Sword Pavilion? ”

"Master, he was still here just now. After telling us about the whole process and results of his negotiations with the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion today, he went home. ”

"He said he was tired, so he won't come to the dojo today to watch us practice swords."

With that, Mikami moved his shoulders.

"Ogata, let's not talk about that. Are you available now? ”

"If you have time, let's have a discussion."

"I just happened to be looking for someone to talk to."

"I was lying in bed for a long time today, and I felt that all the muscles in my body were stiff. I'm desperate for someone I can talk to and move my muscles and bones. ”

"Oh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Mikami-senpai, what a coincidence, I happen to be looking for a partner to learn from." ”
