140 The heart is clear
"Beichen is a knife stream, focusing on skill, not strength...... Only by comprehending the unity of man and sword and the unity of sword heart can we surpass the opponent's movements. ”
Chiba Ibuki sat at the low table, took a sip of tea, and said pretending to be profound.
"This style of 'sword heart is clear', which can only be understood but not spoken."
However, looking at the fine sweat on his forehead, he was obviously very satisfied with Sosuke Araki's sword.
After all, if that sword can't stop the car and slash on the body, this old bone without protective gear should be returned to the west.
"How's your job? Why don't you think about what you said last time, and come to me as a teacher. ”
Glancing at Sousuke Araki, who was playing with his phone, Chiba Ibuki asked lightly.
He is still very satisfied with Sousuke Araki, a disciple who "tricked" into the door with free teaching.
Although this kid has not been perfected in the details of his movements, he has practiced martial arts all year round and has a sense of contact, and his intuition for actual combat is as terrifying as a beast.
Relying on the explosion of physical fitness, this guy not only helped himself cope with several "troubles", but also won a bluff title of the winner of the "Japan University Kendo Tournament", and now the photo is still hanging by him at the entrance to recruit students.
Not only that, Sosuke Araki also introduced him to many disciples of Nuluoquan as students through Kohei Higashino.
Even the new students of the Shijing Great Kendo Club have become a traditional process to come to train for a day and "get a waiver", which has opened up a lot of financial avenues for him.
"Let's get down to business, who is on the other side, and how many people are here? The words of the wheel war...... But you have to add money. ”
Sosuke Araki asked, leaning against the table and taking a sip of hot tea.
Today, Chiba Ibuki threatened him to come over at night, naturally because a colleague wanted to kick the gym.
"It's not just the 'Natural Rational Flow' guys. After Miyagawa Kiyozo was defeated by you last year, it is said that another master of the genre who had lived in seclusion for many years was invited to gamble on his reputation and fight me. ”
After the Metropolitan Police Department demarcated the unified level and examination rules of kendo, the standards of each dojo are different, and the "exemption" issued by itself has been in a very awkward position, and strictly speaking, it can no longer be regarded as a certificate with high gold content.
And Ye Yichui relied on the fame of the gym, the price without a lower limit, and the extremely short training time, and quickly attracted a large group of students who needed to "pass on the kendo without permission" to decorate their resumes.
After Sosuke Araki won the "Japan University Kendo Tournament" the year before last, he seized the business opportunity and hyped up the inspirational story of "college students become national winners in one day of novice training".
It has only been open for five years, and it can be said that the world is full of peach and plum.
It can be said that there is no comparison, there is no harm.
His existence makes it quite uncomfortable for those students to go through multiple levels of assessments, such as tuition fees of hundreds of thousands of yen, cultivation time for several years, and students having to go through multiple levels of assessment such as the first transmission, the middle transmission, the upload, the special transmission, the secret transmission, the arcane transmission, the sui transmission, and the general transmission, before they can get the exemption from other orthodox kendo halls.
So from time to time, there are colleagues who have been victimized to come to the door to "kick the hall".
Founded by Kurasuke Kondo, the natural flow of reason is a well-known school in the kendo world.
At the end of the Edo period, the three core figures of the Shinsengumi, Isamu Kondo, Soji Okita, and Toshizo Hijikata were all natural and rational people.
Natural Rational Flow, known to be the highest rank of "Guide Exemption".
It takes 10 years to go from cutting paper to exemption, and another 10 years from exemption to guideline exemption......
In other words, if you want to become a normal generation, it will take 20 years of work, and looking at the major kendo schools, it can be regarded as quite demanding in terms of time.
It can be said that it is the most miserable genre that has been passed on by "Beichen who has been exempted from all the permissions in one day".
So they are also the most diligent in kicking the gym, and they are old rivals.
"But didn't the other party name you to fight? Why did you call me to ......?"
Sousuke Araki asked as he looked at the funny video on his phone.
In the gym, except for Chiba Ibuki himself, who teaches swordsmanship, the others are all external staff.
Therefore, Sousuke Araki, the "most capable disciple" under the seat, naturally has to take on the heavy responsibility of coping with the kicking hall.
10,000 yen per time.
"The master has something, and the disciple takes care of it...... Ahem, as the owner of the pavilion, how can these defeated generals of their subordinates challenge if they want to, naturally I have to defeat you first before I am qualified to make a personal move...... Moreover, it has been cold recently, and I accidentally contracted the wind chill and was sick in bed......"
Chiba Ibuki took a sip of tea, made a high-ranking demeanor, and puffed up his back and said.
Last year, after Miyagawa Kiyozo, the teacher of the natural rational flow, was beaten by Sosuke Araki and kicked out of the gym failed, because this old man took the opportunity to find a promoter to promote a wave of "natural rational flow that has been cultivated for twenty years and obtained a waiver, and lost to Beichen Yidaoliu, who has been exempted for a day", causing the other party's reputation to plummet and his business to deteriorate.
Therefore, several venues have been looking for opportunities to "clear the stigma".
Although the reasons were different, Sousuke Araki always felt that whether it was the natural flow of reason or the Beichen one-knife flow, the coffin board of the old ancestor was about to be overwhelmed because of the various behaviors of the old guy in front of him.
"I knew it was another trick......"
Hearing his words, Sosuke Araki raised an eyebrow.
This old guy, although the level of teaching kendo does have two strokes, the astringent kendo department can become a dark horse in the kendo world, and he also has the credit for his guidance.
However, because his body bones are too weak, his actual combat ability is quite worrisome.
"They estimate that there are still two hours before they come, and I am going to an izakaya for a drink to cure the 'wind chill'. I'll leave it to you, so remember to lock the door when you leave. ”
Chiba Ibuki stood up, threw a key to Sosuke Araki, and quickly left the dojo through the back door.
Where is there a little bit of "infected with the wind and cold, sick in bed".
……
Chiyoda-ku, the town of Waikanda not far from Akihabara.
Twenty meters along the promenade through the azure torii gate is a magnificent two-story gatehouse with a blue roof and deep infrared walls.
Inside the gatehouse, you will find the wide square and magnificent main hall of Kanda Ming Shrine.
Compared to this very popular commercial shrine, Akagi Shrine is much shabby.
At this moment, the shrine maiden Kotori Yumayu, who is dressed in a shrine maiden costume and comes from the "shabby shrine", and the middle-aged monk Kobo, who is wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, are sitting in the center of the wide and square shrine square.
Several agents in black combat uniforms also stood guard in the surrounding main hall and gatehouse.
"Kobo Daishi, the resentful spirit of the Heishomen, will you really come here?"
The little bird Yu Zhengong asked the monk for advice with some curiosity.
From the communication, the two of them had learned that the other two groups were fighting against the samurai resentful spirits suspected of being peaceful at the same time.
After that, however, communication with the Abe group was cut off.
"Little Bird Witch doesn't know, similar to the resentful spirit of the Ping Sho Gate, although it completely died out under the destruction of the tomb and the formation seal, but in this shrine, it has still accumulated a lot of belief in the 'Ping Sho Gate Pillar' for more than 100 years. If he wants to truly attain the body of a ghost and god, he will definitely come here to reclaim the power of his faith. ”
Kobo patiently explained, gently plucking a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"I see."
Just as the two were talking softly, a figure in black samurai armor slowly walked under the azure torii.
"The three teams of joint operations have observed the resentful spirit in the shape of a black samurai appearing outside the torii gate of Kanda Myojinja Shrine!"
The detective with the spectacle on the castle tower immediately warned in the communication channel.
