In just two sentences, it is like the big bell of the awakening world striking on the heart of the turtledove.

Years of obsession have shaken her will? Is that so?

The long-term assassination mission affected her original intention of holding the sword? Is that so?

For the first time in her life, she tasted defeat in kendo, and it shattered the self-confidence she had always built, right?

The turtledoves asked themselves, maybe this is really the case? Thinking about it, the sword in his hand couldn't help but waver.

At this moment, Dispel spoke again: "What's wrong?" Is your heart shaken? ”

Turtledove didn't react, and Dispel didn't care about her, just said to himself: "I, I've been called a kendo genius by others since I was a child. Everyone who saw me with a sword said that I was the strongest swordsman they had ever seen, that I was self-taught, and that I was born to become a legend of kendo! ”

Dispel's words attracted the attention of the turtledove.

"But the talents they talk about are all ordinary things in my opinion, and they are not worth mentioning at all."

There was something Versailles said about it, but the turtledove listened patiently, wanting to hear what Dispel had to say.

"Draw the sword, swing the sword, put away the knife, until I was 12 years old, I used these three moves, first with a branch that I had broken, then with a thick wooden stick that I had picked up, and then with a harder iron rod, a broken sword...... By the time I reacted, they would call me the number one swordsman in the kingdom! ”

"They talk to me like a god, but in fact, I don't know any kendo, I'm just wielding the guy in my hand to survive!"

Turtledove was silent after hearing this, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that this guy's swordsmanship was so peculiar, it turned out to be honed in life and death battles again and again.

"The more I fought, the more confused my mind became, and after each victory, I would ask myself, 'What the hell are you swinging your sword for now?' At first, it was to survive, and then it was for the name of 'First Swordsman', but is this really what I want? It doesn't seem to be! ”

"If I can't ask myself, I will ask others, but others can't answer my questions, so I can only keep looking, keep asking, asking and looking for ......"

Speaking of this, Dispel suddenly became a little excited, and his whole body seemed to be full of light: "It wasn't until I met those guys who were high up and didn't treat people as human beings that I had a little guess, maybe my sword exists for love and justice!" ”

Turtledove: "......"

Is your thinking changing a little fast? Also, love and justice or something, are you a child?

She didn't know that Dispel was indeed in the second year of secondary school at that time.

With that in mind, I taught those guys a lesson, even if they were punished for it. During that time when I was striving for something, I could feel my sword sharper! ”

"Unfortunately, I soon lost my purpose again, because I realized that I was not a person who wielded a sword for the sake of protection and peace, so I came here to find the answer."

Turtledove: 'Hey, that's giving up too quickly!' Also, which side is this? ’

"The strong people here all use magic, and there are too few simple swordsmanship masters, but this novel way of fighting makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart, and even the speed of swinging the sword has become faster. It wasn't until that moment that I finally understood why I was still wielding a knife! ”

Turtledove asked, "What is it?" ”

She felt that the person in front of her had said so much just for the next words.

"There's no special reason, I just think that swordsmanship is fun!"

The turtledove was silent again after listening, swordsmanship is fun? That's why you're still swinging your sword? What a mess!

"Think it's incredible? Or do you think this reason is not sufficient? "But it's just that simple. ”

"It's not a means of survival, it's not a resounding reputation, it's not for love and justice, it's not for the sake of leaving a legend in kendo, it's just that it's fun, so I continue to use the sword."

"At the time, I was amused by this idea of my own, and then I thought about it, isn't this what those guys often talk about, the original intention of kendo?"

The turtledove seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and muttered to himself: "The original intention of kendo, is this the case?" ”

This person wants to use his own experience to tell himself that he has lost his original intention of using a sword?

"I don't know!" "Anyway, after that, I felt that my strength had improved significantly, and I enjoyed every fight, and that feeling was like letting go, figuring it out, pulling it out, breaking free, and it made me feel comfortable." ”

Wait, did you just get in on with something weird?' ’

Not noticing the strange eyes of the turtledove, Dispel was still immersed in his speech: "For the sake of ...... Ah no, in order to respect the opponent, I began to give my sword swinging skills one name after another, what Wuji is endless and silent, what the sun marks the moon and the stars fall, and what fire refining water chaos wind soul, but in fact, the names of these moves are not fixed, and I will shout which one comes to mind during the battle. ”

Turtledove: "......"

"Anyway, the name of your sword move shouldn't be shouted casually, so far, it seems that everyone except me has a move name corresponding to a single move, and I don't know why they spend that brain power to think about what move to use in battle."

Ignoring the second half of the sentence, Ikaruga replied: "Yes, the sword skills of the moonless flow have their own move names, and these sword moves are created after a hundred battles, and they are also learned after sweating, so remembering the name of each move is not only a respect for the predecessors, but also a responsibility for oneself." ”

"Hmm...... It's understandable – so, I've said all that, have you now found your original intention? ”

The turtledove closed its eyes, its breath was restrained, and said, "No! Not at all! ”

Dispel: "......"

Waste of saliva!

"But...... Now, I'm ready to face the next failures! ”

The eyes that opened again were full of firmness and openness, and they were completely different from before!

Dispel praised: "This is the look that a swordsman should have!" ”

The turtledove paced forward, losing the graceful walking posture he had when he first appeared, and completely giving up the pride he had just made.

'What am I swinging my sword for?' A dead teacher? The mission of no moon stream? Years of persistence? Or this sword in your hand? It doesn't seem to be for these reasons......

Seeing her opponent approaching, Kira slowly inserted the long sword in her hand back into its scabbard, and the two made a clear friction sound.

"No Moonstream ......"

'See! ’

"Sakura Slash!"

As if they had crossed space, the distance of three meters jumped in an instant, and the figures of the two were still facing each other in the previous moment, and they switched places in the next instant.

The turtledove turned its back to Dispel, leaned forward in a crackling shape, and the long sword in his hand seemed to cut countless cherry blossoms.

Dispel's back to the turtledove, his movements remained the same, as if he had not moved half a step from beginning to end, and the long sword completely withdrew its scabbard, and the blade and the scabbard made a crisp collision sound, which was the last step in "drawing the knife, swinging the knife, and closing the knife".

"A knife stream, a cohe, a person will be punished!"

Sting!

Sword marks emerged from the turtledove's body, from her left shoulder to her right abdomen, more than two inches long, cutting through her chest-length kimono, leaving a brutal wound on her snow-white skin, and blood sprayed.

"Very beautiful cherry blossoms!" Dispel praised and walked forward without looking back, the book says that real men never look back at the results of battle.

"Thanks for the compliment! Uhhh

Turtledove fell down with a thud, and before she fell unconscious, her eyes flashed a scene from many years ago, which was her first day of sword learning.

In spring, cherry blossoms fly.
