Shinhachi is very serious about the teaching of swordsmanship, from the posture of holding the sword to the posture of practicing chopping and slashing, it is very detailed, which is undoubtedly very convenient for Natsume and the black cat, at least at this time, Natsume is very fortunate to be taught his swordsmanship by Shinhachi.

After all, if Yinshi were to teach himself, he would roughly say: Sword? Just take it in your hand and chop it like this.,And then I'll lie on the floor like this.,Nose drop-offs while watching myself and the black cat's clumsy movements.。

In terms of practice, most of the time in Japanese swordsmanship is spent on fighting noodles - that is, slashing movements while practicing swordsmanship in the occasional appearance.

Although in terms of results, noodle fighting is not the way to defeat the enemy that the Shinsengumi are good at, but in terms of practice time, their practice method is mainly noodle fighting or chopping.

(Natural Compassion Flow in Gintama's anime, in history, and even in most of the anime that appear in it, it is known for its thorns, and in Gintama, the orangutan with the most appearances in the Shinsengumi, Hijikata, and Sogo are all natural Reason, and most of the victories when they appear in battle are won by thorns.) ）

"Sect Leader Shimura, why is the most common way for us to practice kendo is chopping?" The black cat, which was doing a repetitive movement, asked a little strangely. Originally, both Black Cat and Natsume thought that when Shinhachi was willing to teach, he would be directly helped by the space to learn swordsmanship, just like the Turtle School Qigong.

But unexpectedly, at this time, Natsume and the black cat had been practicing for half an hour, but they still didn't hear the hints in the space.

(The noodles are a Japanese expression, so in order to make it easier to understand the terms related to swordsmanship in the future, there may be some errors, but it should not cause too much reading barrier.) ）

"Because, the chopping (here is a special top-down chop, that is, the noodle during practice) is the most difficult." Hearing the black cat's words, Shinpachi said with a smile while signaling Natsume and the black cat to take a break.

"Chop... The hardest? Natsume asked a little strangely, after all, Natsume and the black cat can be said to be complete novices in swordsmanship, so they don't understand many of them.

In Natsume's heart, the easiest move of the knife is the action of chopping, after all, in Natsume's heart, he feels that if he is an ordinary person, the knife is the easiest to choose a melee cold weapon to fight the enemy, as long as he picks it up, it will give people a deterrent.

"In terms of the trajectory of the sword, the slash is the farthest and the most difficult to strike. Thorns, or other slashes or the like, are easier to hit people in terms of trajectory and don't show too many flaws. "At least when you chop it, you can expose your whole chest...

"If you keep practicing chopping, it's not just because he's the hardest, but that practicing his words all the time will give you a kind of courage." After Yinshi, who was lying on the side, heard Shinhachi's words, he looked at the three of them with his dead fish eyes and said.

"Courage?" Natsume also stopped waving his hand and looked at Gintoki with some confusion and asked.

"When practicing chopping, I will expose my biggest flaw, and there will be a spontaneous sense of fear in the enemy, or in the actual combat practice, so let's do it, Shinhachi, you and the black cat are in a group, and I am in a group with Natsume's little brother, and at the same time give each other an interview. Don't worry, we'll be mindful of our strength. Yinshi suddenly stood up, and said to the two with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After hearing his words, Natsume and the black cat glanced at each other, then nodded silently, and after putting on the armor, the four of them stood opposite each other.

"Alright, let's get started." Gintoki's face was a little serious, and he looked at Natsume and said.

After hearing Gintoki's words, Natsume habitually raised his sword high and prepared to swing it at Gintoki.

However, before he swung it down, there was a feeling, a chilling feeling, a feeling that if he took a slight step forward, he would hit the tip of the silver sword!

One step further, death!

When he put down the sword, both Natsume and the black cat broke out in a cold sweat.

"That's why it's practiced all the time, it gives people courage." Looking at the two of them who were panting and holding cold sweats at this time, Yinshi said with some seriousness, and at this time his face rarely showed a serious expression.

"Again and again, it's not just an ordinary blow. When you practice again, you put yourself in the most dangerous situation, and the moment you attack, the sword is raised, and the body rushes forward, and the enemy's sword is in front of you. ”

"In such situations, we exercise our heart again and again to make it more resilient, to be brave and to fill it with courage. Because of it, we have nothing to fear. Gintoki said as he brandished the sword in his hand.

The sword in his hand at this time seemed to be more than just a sword, but a manifestation of his will.

Holding the sword with a serious expression, Ginshi even gave Natsume a feeling that as long as the sword was in his hand, there was nothing he couldn't do!

"If you want to dodge the tip of your opponent's sword, if you want to avoid the fear of death, you just need to swing the sword in your hand when you practice." As long as it is stronger than them, as long as it is stronger than his will, then everything is fearless!

After hearing Gintoki's words, Natsume and the black cat nodded thoughtfully, and then began to wave the sword in their hands again and again.

At the same time, a hint appeared in their minds.

"The world's important figure Gintoki Sakata (Hakuyasha) taught you a special skill [Kendo Mind], detected that you did not have the pre-talent [Faith], detected that you did not open the will of the special attribute, failed to comprehend, and you obtained part of the information of the special talent [Faith]..."

"Congratulations to the Sponsor for the opportunity to unlock the special talent [Faith], which can be obtained when the Sponsor makes a choice and comprehends it."

However, at this time, Natsume and the black cat no longer bothered to investigate the reminders in their own space, and concentrated on practicing swordsmanship.

Perhaps because of the increase in physical fitness in the novice world, the two did not feel tired even though they were practicing non-stop at this time.

And with the help of Yinshi's words and Shinpachi, at this time, they really felt that the sword in their hands could help them become stronger!

I've always been protected by you, and if I can, I want to protect you, even if it's just once. While waving the sword in his hand, Natsume thought firmly.
