CHAPTER XVII

Under the leadership of Guina, the daughter of the owner of the dojo, I successfully met the owner of the dojo, and although he was dressed in a simple kimono at this time, he was still in his prime, regardless of his spirit or appearance.

"Mr. Koshiro, I have always admired your swordsmanship, and I have come here to learn the mysteries of swordsmanship from you, so please accept me." After giving his name, under the indifferent smile of Koshiro who neither objected nor agreed, Koya, who had completed the apprenticeship etiquette in a proper manner, raised his head and looked at the "mysterious" figure in front of him with a smile.

"Guina, go get some refreshments." He helped his eyes, looked at the clear-eyed young man in front of him, and instructed his daughter to be separated, Koshiro said leisurely: "Arte's family, there should be no shortage of swordsmen to teach swordsmanship, right?" ”

"Sure enough......" A realization flashed in his heart, and he was 100% sure of the man in front of him who seemed to be indisputable, and the identity behind him was by no means simple, Keya shook his head and said: "Although there is indeed no shortage of people in the family who teach swordsmanship, there are still few people like Mr. ”

He looked fixedly at the young man kneeling in front of him, and recalled all the information and information about this young man in his mind, and after a moment of silence. Looking at his daughter who came over with refreshments, Koshiro sighed and said, "It's hard to practice swords. ”

"Please rest assured, master, I can still bear that bit of suffering." Hearing the over-the-top sound in Koshiro's words, Koya, who had a smile on her face, picked up the teacup and respectfully bowed to Koshiro.

"Tea, please, master."

......

In this way, Koya officially became a member of the Ichishin Dojo, the little apprentice of the hall owner Koshiro, although Koya knew that he was not a closed disciple.

"One!"

"Hah!"

Following the slogan of Koshiro, he waved the wooden sword in his hand in a very regular and uniform manner, and more than 20 wooden swords danced at the same time, which looked quite a scene.

With the breathing method taught by Koshiro himself, his body and arms exert force at the same time, and he swings the wooden sword in his hand regularly and rhythmically. Just after Koya swung the first sword with the correct posture and breathing method for the first time, the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally lived up to Koya's expectations and issued a prompt again.

[Sword Experience +2.] 】

[Open the art - swordsmanship.] 】

[Current Sword Skill Level: Lv1]

Different from the realm speculation of illusion or only intuition, through the system, he most intuitively felt his every standard swing, and the growth brought by it, Keya, who was intoxicated by this feeling, waved the wooden sword in his hand even harder.

And so the days passed. Although Koya is a newcomer to the academy, directly becoming a disciple of the master of the kendo hall will somewhat make some people who want to give Koya a dismount. And the gorgeous costume that Koya wore on the first day of his arrival and the things he heard about coming to the island on a warship later also made many people curious about Koya's identity.

Marina bought two adjacent courtyards not far from the Yishin Dojo, and after some design and planning, the walls of the two courtyards were demolished and merged into one compound, and the original rooms of the two courtyards were demolished with great fanfare, and a new house was erected on the vacant land.

Although he felt a little headache about Marina's toss, but thinking that he would stay here for at least four or five years, Koya finally agreed to Marina's plan for his own living and accommodation.

......

Snow fell from the sky, and together with the biting chill, the small island was covered in silver. Staying in the Ichishin Kendo Hall, the father and daughter of Koshiro Guina, as well as Zoro who was captured by himself, and his personal maid Marina spent the first New Year in this world together. The next day, Koya received gifts from her relatives......

Accompanied by Guina and Zoro, looking at the huge metal cargo box hanging from the Navy warship with twitching eyes, Koya wiped his face and turned to look at a butler who came with the warship, and asked, "Those, all?" ”

"Yes, Third Young Master." Hearing Koya's question, the housekeeper replied respectfully, looking at Keya, who was still unknown, the housekeeper continued: "This year, since you are not in the country, young master, after the rumor that the head of the family is preparing gifts for you has leaked, almost all the family members and many ministers have prepared gifts for you, so ......"

"Well, forget it, it's a thought...... Marina, come with me to see what the gifts are, by the way, Guina and Zoro can also take a look, pick one you like, and make it my New Year's gift to you. He sighed with one hand on his forehead, looked back at the three people with shocked expressions, and said with a smile.

"Is that okay, Koya?"

"Really? Thank you so much Koya! ”

"Yes, young master."

So it took Koya and Guina a whole afternoon to finally open all the large boxes of gifts and order them all to be sent to the hall.

Looking at this big push of gifts, from gemstones, gold carved handicrafts and even antiques, to famous swords, armor, muskets, a series of self-defense items and a lot of precious medicinal materials...... Senluo is all-encompassing, and there are so many types that some of them make Koya can't help but complain.

Guina and Zoro returned with the three katanas they had picked out, all of which were of the good sword level, and sat in the room looking at Marina, who was sorting out and sorting various gifts, Koya turned her eyes to a black silk katana wrapped in black silk and two locked metal boxes on the table.

After untying the silk cloth wrapped around the knife, feeling the feel of the silk cloth in his hand, Koya, who twitched the corners of his mouth, scolded for a waste, and looked at the treasure knife that revealed his true body, which was said to have been ordered by his grandmother and selected by his father from the royal treasury of the Arte family.

The hand holds a light blue scabbard made of the toughest leather of an unknown sea king, and the fingers have stroked the dragon-patterned knife with a metallic sheen, and with one hand, it is wrapped in tough sea king shark skin, and the handle is wrapped in hemp silk and then decorated with gold wire, and gently pulled out.

"Brush ——!" A cold light crossed Koya's eyes, looking at the cold light that flowed like water at the blade after being pulled out, the fingertips gently brushed the blade of the blade, feeling the fine Inazuma lines coming from the fingertips, a fiery joy flashed in his eyes, Koya commanded the system in his heart: "System, list the details of this knife." ”
