"Yes...... President! ”

When Isayama Huangquan came to the kendo club early in the morning as usual, Shota was already sitting inside. Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the arena, he slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"I want to know what your answer is!"

……

"Is this your realization?"

After listening to her words, Shota didn't react too much. He just picked up the bamboo sword that was placed beside him, and slowly stood up.

Because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were numb. Although the expression on his face can be disguised, Shota's stumbling steps can't be hidden.

Simply under the snickering expression of Isayama Huangquan, Shota had a direct showdown.

"What are you doing in a daze, come here and help me. Can't you see my leg numb! ”

"Yes...... President! You're here......"

"Come and see your determination, and by the way, something is looking for you."

Sitting on the table at the door and rubbing his legs, Shota was talking to Isayama Huangquan. Fortunately, no one came to this point, otherwise it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

"Something? What's up. ”

Instead of answering her, Shota just held his head high and looked at Bai Duo in the sky.

Isayama Huangquan didn't understand what he was trying to do, and when she looked up over there as well, a bamboo sword suddenly stabbed out obliquely from the blind spot of vision, moving quickly and silently.

When she reacted, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and she couldn't care about making other movements, and Isayama Huangquan's instinctive body tilted to the other side and rolled away from that side.

But even so, she still saw the bamboo sword flying in front of her. If only one more second, one second slower......

She didn't dare to think about the rest at all.

"President! You ......"

She immediately stood up from the ground, but when she saw Shota's current appearance, she couldn't speak.

Because Shota is still in a posture of Iaido with a knife and has not been withdrawn, his current appearance is like a statue of Michelangelo in the eyes of Isayama Huangquan.

That was the first time she felt the charm of men, and now Shota makes her feel the beauty of kendo.

I went out to kill people, that's all. So much so that he couldn't find anything contrary to common sense at all, and all this was surprisingly harmonious.

"It seems that you didn't show your true strength that day."

Ignoring her eyes, Shota took care of his own blood. Putting the bamboo sword beside him to restore his previous calm and breezy appearance, he set his eyes on the cherry blossom tree at the door.

"I ......"

Isayama wanted to explain something but couldn't say it in the end, Shota didn't care, just looked at the emerald green leaves on the tree, and then laughed.

"Do you blame me for what I did?"

"I didn't ...... Somewhat! ”

She wanted to answer directly, but when she saw Shota's fluttering expression and didn't know why, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, he didn't care, and turned his head to look at Isayama Huangquan, who was kneeling beside him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Iaido is originally a sneak attack knife technique."

As soon as I mentioned the way of the sword, the spirit of Isayama Huangquan came. She raised her head sharply and stared at Shota with a serious expression, although her eyes were a little aggressive, but this didn't make Shota care.

"The earliest time I remember about Iaido should be called drawing a knife and slashing, and even its founder, Hayashi Shisuke, unabashedly called it a revenge knife technique, the most effective killing trick.

Come to think of it, isn't the result of the fastest drawing technique being the extent that you have a sword in your own hand and no sword in the enemy's hand? That's a violation! ”

"Yes!"

Isayama Huangquan did not refute Shota's words, and even nodded approvingly. Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, Shota picked up the bamboo sword on the ground.

"But wasn't you dodging that moment just now?"

Isayama Huangquan, who was kneeling there with her head down, suddenly widened her eyes when she heard this, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Shota, but Shota still didn't react at all, and continued to touch the bamboo sword in her hand.

"Now that you know who I am, you should know something about me. As those people say, I am an impure martial artist. ”

"President! You ......"

Seeing what she wanted to say, Shota stretched out his hand to stop her, and then held the bamboo sword horizontally in front of him and clasped the ends with both hands.

"I didn't have an orthodox kendo training, and I didn't have that much martial arts awareness. All I have to do to get to this point is the sword in my hand and my body and mind.

As you can see, if all the previous achievements can be considered shit luck, then I can only say that my good fortune is 80% over.

I've felt since the last Kendo tournament in West Japan that my abilities are already limited. If this continues, even if I don't have to dismantle the stage without others, my unworthy name as a national treasure will collapse. ”

Speaking of this, Shota paused, turned to look at Isayama, and put the bamboo sword in his hand in front of her.

"I want to ask you to teach me!"

"What!"

Isayama Huangquan can't be silent now.

Accepting apprentices is a very important matter in Japanese kendo martial arts, and it is generally arranged by the owner of each kendo gym or the master of the school.

It's not just about picking an auspicious day for the zodiac, but there are many other rituals at the same time. Because it symbolizes a school or the inheritance of kendo, which is a very grand event in the eyes of the older generation.

Let's not talk about whether I have the qualifications to accept apprentices, even the people in the gym may not agree. After all, his notoriety is still far and wide, this ......

"Are you struggling with fame?"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Shota had already guessed what this guy was thinking, after all, Sunset had also told him these things at the beginning, but ......

Worshipping the Japanese kendo school, you are thinking too much.

Straightened up, Xiang Taiping looked at him, and couldn't tell what was in it from his words, but Isayama Huangquan faintly felt that something was wrong with him.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be in any genre."

"What! Then you ......"

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Seeing that Isayama Huangquan wanted to say something, Shota interrupted her again. Turning to look at the cherry blossom tree in the doorway again, his eyes filled with a strange light.

"Throughout history, I have discovered a truth, that is, anyone who can reach the pinnacle and achieve something in kendo has all comprehended their own kendo by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools.

I knew that if I didn't have a kendo background, I might face a lot of difficulties in the future. But I saw a faint light in the dark future, and I knew that was my goal.

It may have been just an illusion on my part, or a little fluorescence from the fireflies that flew through my life, but I knew it was worth looking for. ”

After a slow, melodious lyricism, Shota turned to look at her again, but this time with an almost commanding tone in his mouth.

"I am willing to learn but have no teacher, please give me advice!"
