Chapter 22: The Difference [Two Days First-class]
Miyamoto Musashi's [two days first-class] is also a very unusual genre in the history of this island country where there are many kendo schools.
It is worth mentioning that it is generally believed that Miyamoto Musashi is the founder of Niten-ryu, and that Miyamoto Musashi's school of kendo is Nito-ryu, but this is not the case.
The concept of "Erdaoliu" is very simple, it refers to fighting with two knives, nothing more.
This kind of thing, in fact, there were already swordsmen who could wield two swords before Miyamoto Musashi, but the strength of such a swordsman was not even as good as that of a swordsman with a sword, and the strength was far less than expected, so [Erdaoliu] was also known as the evil crooked way in swordsmanship.
I also know that the concentration and energy required by the two knives to be used by a person's left hand and right hand at the same time are far greater than those required by the same sword.
And nine out of ten people in the world can't do different things with their left hand and right hand.
This is like drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other, if you want to use two knives at the same time, and let the power of the two knives override the [One Sword Flow], so that the [Two Sword Flow] can really play the effect of two swordsmen swinging their swords together, you must have the ability to distract and use two swords.
Until Miyamoto Musashi founded [Two Days First-class].
He organically unified the two knives together by using the form of two knives, one large and one small, in the form of 'fighting knife' and 'wakisa', just as a swordsman holding a long knife, a swordsman holding a short sword, and two swordsmen swinging a sword together.
This kind of genre has completely carried forward the [Erdaoliu], so Miyamoto Musashi has become the representative of the [Erdaoliu], and as soon as people talk about [Erdaoliu], they will definitely mention Miyamoto Musashi, which makes people confuse the concept of [Erdaoliu] with the genre of "Ertian First-class".
And Musashi, the girl who taught Ryuxia swordsmanship, the [Two Days First-class] she used was different from the Miyamoto Musashi in history.
In Musashi, the swordsman in history, the two swords used were actually one long and one short, the 'fighting knife' was long, and the 'waki' was short.
It is said that it is [two knife flow], but in fact, it is mainly based on fighting knives, and it is used to assist the attack with a short knife threat, and it does not need to have much strong ability to distract and use two purposes, even if ordinary people can do it with more training, it can be regarded as a real [two knife flow].
But the girl Musashi is different.
The two knives she uses are both 'punching knives', not one long and one short, but both are long knives that are more than a meter long.
This is destined to her [two-day first-class], and the historical Miyamoto Musashi's [two-day first-class] will never be the same thing.
It's hard to say which is better or worse, but in this way, if you want to learn the [two days first-class] of the girl Musashi, you must have a very strong ability of 'distraction and dual use'.
After spending another day and knowing all the nine basic techniques of the island country's swordsmanship, Ryuxia began to try to dual-wield two identical long knives.
And then he did.
Hold the knife in your right hand to make a diagonal cut from the top right to the bottom left, and hold the knife in the left hand to make a cross-cut from left to right.
The right hand uses the 'robe slash' of the second style of basic swordsmanship, and the left hand uses the 'left horizontal cut' of the fourth style, and the two hands swing two swords at different times and positions.
Although there were some stumbles and stumbles due to the fact that he did not practice the basic sword moves of the Eight Styles into muscle memory, and he was not very formed, Lu Xia did quickly achieve the distraction and dual use.
It's as if he was born with such qualifications.
If the excellent talent shown before only surprised and admired Musashi, then after Ryuxia showed the quality of distraction again, Musashi's face was somewhat dumb.
Distraction is not unique, but it is definitely rare.
With excellent talent, coupled with the quality of distraction, such a teenager is like a teenager who appeared specifically to inherit her [Ertian First-class].
In an instant, Musashi had the idea of 'did I come to this world just to take this young man in front of me as an apprentice?'
But in this way, Musashi's heart became even hotter.
She likes to compete with swordsmen from all walks of life, and every time she encounters a famous or powerful swordsman, she can't help but have the urge to compete with the other party.
Sometimes she even chooses to take the initiative to provoke her opponent because she can't suppress her inner fighting spirit, for which she has suffered a lot.
But she had never tried to fight against a disciple she had taught and who could fully inherit her mantle.
A disciple who can completely inherit her swordsmanship, in other words, is actually equivalent to another copy of her, and fighting with such a disciple is actually similar to fighting another self.
That's right, at this moment, Musashi didn't think of fighting with his disciples, but fighting with himself in disguise.
Fighting with herself is always the best way to surpass herself, and it is the best medicine that can allow her to go further and get in touch with her own sword path, the realm of emptiness.
However, even though a person may have a variety of opponents in this life, in the vast majority of cases, it is impossible for a person to regard himself as an opponent.
Musashi now has such a possibility.
Train the young man in front of you to be a swordsman who can match or even surpass her, and then use your own sword to defeat him!
"Oh, that's really exciting for your future, Ryuxia-chan!"
Musashi looked at Ryuxia's eyes and became bright, and his sky-blue eyes were full of burning anticipation for Ryuxia, "Ryuxia-chan, if we have another day to meet in the future, we must use [Two Days First-class] to divide the winner and loser, this is my agreement with you!" ”
Ryuxia glanced at her, although he had somewhat understood her character, but at this moment, he still couldn't understand her brain circuit.
As Musashi said, Ryuxia couldn't fall in love with Kendo, so he could never understand the enthusiasm and thoughts of someone with an extraordinary obsession with Kendo.
However, people who have this kind of enthusiasm that is hot enough to burn people are, without exception, very interesting people.
For the first time, the idea of 'Musashi is not a tool man, but an interesting person' came to Ruxia's mind.
People with feelings and delusions that he can't understand are one of the three kinds of people he thinks are the most interesting.
Because they all have something that Ryusha doesn't have.
"Okay."
Although she didn't understand, Ryusha agreed.
But it's not because his heart has been touched or anything, although he thinks Miyamoto Musashi is an interesting person, his frozen feelings are still not shaken in the slightest.
The reason why he agreed was just to keep Musashi in that burning expectation and be able to teach him more attentively.
Without knowing each other, the delusion and indifference in the hearts of the two formed an incomparably sharp contrast.
