"When I want to cut something in front of me, I think it's steel or steel in front of me, and it's fragile under my blade."

"Even if my knife doesn't have a blade."

Nara returned the Soul Slashing Knife in his hand to Uno Hanari.

"Of course, that's the essential difference."

"Essence is for enlightenment, not learning."

"So I want you to have a better understanding of what I call kendo."

"Your learning needs to start with perception."

Breathe?

Some of the students present were incomprehensible, and they completely touched the blind spot of their own knowledge.

Except for creatures with lungs, can anything else breathe?

Nara seemed to answer the questions in their minds.

"It's not just creatures with lungs that breathe, everything breathes."

"The secret to allowing you to cut what you want to cut and not hurt what you don't want to cut is here."

"Feel the breath of all things."

"I avoided his breath just now from the cloth in front of me, so the sharp blade slashed at it, and there was no reaction at all."

Nara picked up the cloth in his hand again.

"But if my goal is to cut off its breath."

"So..."

"Khooth!"

The sound of intertwining metal sounded, and in the eyes of everyone, Nara's severed fingers were combined into a hand knife, and the speed was also neither fast nor slow. You have to cut it off at the cloth in the air.

And when the not-sharp hand knife and cloth are staggered.

Everyone seemed to see a sharp white light.

Then, wait until everyone notices the cloth again.

The cloth had already split in two and slowly fell to the floor at the same time.

"This is the power to cut off the breath of all things."

"If you can feel the breath of everything, then you can easily cut it off with the blade in your right hand, or something else."

"That's the introduction to kendo."

"It's something you might need to learn for life later on."

Nara first put the brutal truth in front of the students.

That is, seeing this thing also has this threshold, even higher than the threshold of the Soul Slashing Knife.

Not everyone is able to enter the door of kendo and feel the breath of all things.

Feeling the breath of all things is an introductory skill to kendo.

But in fact, there are many steps in between to get this far. It's just that Nara has omitted it.

And in the world of pirates, swordsmen who can feel the breath of all things can be honored as swordsmen.

Even if he is wanted by the Navy, he is at least a small boss of the Bailey level.

And among the god of death, with this skill alone, an ordinary god of death can compete with the god of death at the level of an official, without having to solve it.

"It's amazing.."

"Is kendo really something that can be done?"

"Feel the breath of a piece of cloth..."

In an instant, many of the students present fell into a state of frustration.

Geniuses are not rare or common in this Grim Reaper.

But most people are able to recognize the gap between themselves and true geniuses.

Just as Nara demonstrated, it became clear to them that most of the time kendo could only be used as a supplement to their system, not the main force of the combat system.

Obviously, the captain-level Grim Reapers' expressions sitting in the front row did not fluctuate at all, and there was even a hint of understanding,

They fall into the realm of absolute genius. They were able to fully understand and even quickly grasp the breath of all things that Nara said.

Nara decided that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and explained the specific process of feeling the breath of all things, so he gave an open class.

For Nara, it's just a job, and there's no need to take it too seriously.

And kendo is not something that ordinary people can afford.

For a genius who can forge ahead, a few words can make him open the path of kendo.

Install the latest version. 】

But most of the Shinigami are just ordinary Shinigami, and the kendo that Nara said is just an idea, which plays a role in broadening the horizon.

It may be able to blossom and bear fruit among his descendants, but it definitely won't be in those ordinary Grim Reapers.

It's brutal, but that's exactly what it is. In the heavens and worlds, kendo has never been a game for ordinary people, it is the toy of the top handful of geniuses.

"You're talking about something interesting, Captain Nara."

After class, Kuchigi Hakuya appeared on the way to Nara and praised.

"Thousands of years from now, you will become the Grim Reaper as influential as Captain Yamamoto."

"It's something that can't be reached by bloodline alone."

Kuchigi Hakuya seemed to be a little emotional.

"So you'll be there? The breath of all things. ”

Nara shrugged his shoulders in disbelief and asked at Kuchigi Hakuya.

He is still optimistic about the qualifications of Kuchigi Hakuya.

As the head of the Kuchigi family, Kuchigi Hakuya's qualifications are definitely the top of the Grim Reaper.

If you can innovate in kendo, that's the best.

"It's a bit eyebrow-raising, but in fact, the way of the sword you said is not completely unrelated to the soul slashing knife."

"If kendo and direct attack liberation are used together."

"Presumably, the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."

Kuchigi Hakuya deserved to be one of the geniuses of the Silent Spirit Court, and instantly thought of the idea and method of integrating kendo into the existing system.

Nara nodded, indeed.

But on the other hand, there was a secret disappointment in my heart.

Because a traditional god of death like Kuchigi Hakuya can't follow the path of kendo alone.

There is not much reference for him.

Uno Hana is the most likely, and there is another possibility for Kenpachi.

But Nara didn't have much hope.

On the one hand, he already has a solution to the bottleneck.

On the other hand, this is just an idle move, if it is tens of millions of years later, maybe it will be able to blossom and bear fruit in the world of death, and it is still too early.

"This world is the world of the Soul Slayer after all."

"Isn't it?"

Nara asserted,

"No matter how good kendo is, it can only be used as an additive..."

Kuchigi Hakuya shook his head,

"The Soul Slayer is a power that belongs to the Grim Reaper."

"But kendo is different.."

"Any sapient creature is capable of trying to learn.."

Nara's eyes changed, and it seemed that the vision of the noble god of death was still more than he expected.

That's right, as Hakuya Kuchigi said, kendo is a universal power.

Even humans without spiritual power can try to control it.

If Nara had patience, it would not be impossible to establish a complete kendo transcendent system in the human world.

When the time comes, forcibly squeeze out the Grim Reaper system, and then try to sublimate the transcendent kendo, it is not impossible.

"But it's too cost-effective..'

'The time it takes will also be counted in 10,000 years..'
