"Looks like this is it."

Following the directions of the navigation, Kamiyagawa came to the Kuronomiya Dojo in Mito.

The dojo is a Japanese, two-storey building located in a residential area on the side of a concrete road that can be used for two cars.

Kamiya has investigated some of the situation in the Kuronomiya Dojo.

The dojo was opened by a heroic figure who was once active in the movement at the end of the Edo period, named Kuromiya Sahei.

Zixianliu swordsmanship once took the route of rural education and taught a large number of lower-level feudal lords, and the Kuromiya Left Guard was a leader who benefited from this. Subsequently, there was a split within the self-manifestation school, and the Kuronomiya lineage followed the Okuda faction and changed its name to the Notai knife self-manifestation stream, which was in conflict with the pill self-manifestation stream that claimed to be a self-manifestation sect.

Therefore, the swordsmanship taught in the Kuronomiya Dojo and the swordsmanship that Kamiyagawa learned from the Tsuneyo Akaki teacher are exactly the same.

In addition, Kamiya also learned that the kendo skills of the Kuronomiya family included extraordinary skills just like the swordsmanship he had learned.

Strictly speaking, this family is a family of soul slayers.

However, the Black Palace family has never had a good reputation in the soul slayer industry, and there are very few heirs who can practice extraordinary swordsmanship skills.

It is understood that the current Heigong Dojo teacher, Mr. Heigong Tsunaliang, has mastered the skill of "silk fighting", which can be regarded as breaking through the extraordinary threshold.

According to Kamiyagawa's personal experience of practicing the self-manifestation of the Notai sword, the transcendent kendo of this school is actually quite easy to use, not only to provide practitioners with the strengthening of physical fitness and the fighting skills of strange conversations, but also to greatly strengthen the practitioner's visual perception ability after crossing the threshold of "autumn slashing" in the middle and late stages of cultivation.

Like Kamiya himself, who can now use "Yunyao" freely, his perception ability is not lost to most of the strange stories of strong perception.

And the Kuronomiya family failed to carry forward the self-manifestation of the Notai Sword, probably because it was too difficult for ordinary people to improve their swordsmanship skills.

An "immortal" like Kamiya, who is in the ordinary world, fights for life and death with all kinds of strange talks with high intensity all day long, and continues to feel the sword intent on the edge of life and death, which can be regarded as a unique "innate sword path holy body".

"Teacher Red Ghost wants me to bring a text to the Black Palace Dojo, what is the connection between him and the Black Palace family, right?"

Thinking so, Kamiyagawa stepped into the outer courtyard of the dojo.

The time-limited mission that Mr. Chikie released two years ago with a time limit of 80 years is still in the taskbar of "Strange Tales of Things".

And the mission has a special name: [Successor]

The moment he stepped into the Black Palace Dojo, the phone vibrated -

[Red Oni entrusts "Successor" to open!] ]

[The red ghost of the Hanazu Ghost School hopes that you can use the swordsmanship skills he taught to train a successor among his descendants who can freely perform the mystery of "Qiu Hao Chop", and the commission time limit is 78 years.] ]

[This commission is allowed to fail, and the commission reward Nanquan Ichimon and Matte Forged Stone have been paid in advance.] ]

Kamiya briefly looked at the new information on his phone.

Now he understood why the mission given by the Red Oni Teacher was limited to eighty years at the beginning.

It turned out that this was the time to train his descendants.

Sure enough, the Black Palace family should be the descendants of the Red Ghost Teacher, so the Red Ghost is likely to be the founder of the Black Palace Dojo during his lifetime.

And the mission of the red ghost teacher allows for failure. In other words, if his descendants are dull in talent, it doesn't matter if they really can't cultivate to the level where they can freely perform "autumn slashing".

There is also Nanquan Ichiwen as a reward, and the moment Kamiya stepped into the Black Palace Dojo to start this commission, it officially belonged to him.

At this moment, Kamiya completely understands what the red ghost teacher means-

"I will teach you my swordsmanship at the price of a hundred soul crystals, and I will also give you the only saber and forging stone materials I have. I hope you can take care of my children and grandchildren in this world for the sake of our master-apprentice relationship. ”

"If my descendants are really not angry, can't hold up the wall, and can't seize this opportunity, then forget it, apprentice, just do your best."

This is almost the expectation contained in this "successor" commission.

"Mr. Akagi is still as kind to me as ever."

Kamiyagawa thought so.

The red ghost can teach everything, and even the swordsmanship of the wild sword sword is still taught through an almost "empowerment" method at the beginning, so that Kamiya can get started quickly.

All the things that can be given in the follow-up are also given to the apprentices.

No matter which way you look at it, the red ghost is a mentor to Kamiyagawa.

In fact, there is no substantial return for the completion of the commission of the "successor", and even if it is not completed, there is no punishment. And the remuneration paid in advance, Nanquan Yiwen, is not very useful now.

But Mr. Akagi is the first friendly and strange thing Kamiyagawa has encountered in his ordinary life, and the help he provides to him is also at the level of charcoal in the snow.

It is a rare little warmth in the early days.

Even if the red ghost is friendly to Kamiya, it is a bit of an "investment" nature, but the friendship between master and apprentice is there, and now that the apprentice is developed, it is natural to go back and take care of the teacher's descendants.

Kamiyagawa, who always has to pay for baht, "even if you lose it if you don't pick it up when you go out", this time he plans to complete this commission with no income.

……

Inside the Black Palace Dojo.

The layout of the venue is no different from other dojos.

Wooden floored field, the front of the field is dedicated to the shrine.

In general, the dojo has to perform the divine position before the practice begins.

The Black Palace Dojo is not enshrined in the common Wuzun Divine Position, but the Ancestor Divine Seat, that is, the founder of the Dojo, the Black Palace Zuobei.

On the walls of the room, there are name tags of teachers, teachers, and disciples. and calligraphy with words of an encouraging nature, such as "the brave are fearless" and "perseverance is endless".

"Yo Woo!"

When Kamiyagawa came in, several disciples in kendo uniforms in the Black Palace Dojo were barefoot, holding bamboo knives, shouting and practicing sword swinging meticulously.

Although the Kuronomiya family has mastered the extraordinary Wild Tai Dao self-manifestation technique.

However, the dojo is still taught to ordinary people, mainly teaching the skills of kendo for exercising the body and cultivating the body.

Kamiya glanced at the people in the dojo, his eyes fell on a girl in the corner, and his eyes subconsciously condensed.

The girl was practicing swinging her sword on her own, so she didn't wear a protective mask, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a high ponytail, and a little gloomy between her eyebrows, and at first glance she seemed to be a person who was not easy to get along with.

The breath on her body...... It's weird. ”

Kamiya thought so.

The girl he cared about was so attentive in her sword swinging that she didn't seem to notice him, but soon someone else came over to talk to Kamiya.

It was a man who looked to be in his forties and had resolute eyes: "Hello, I'm Kuromiya Tsunaliang, the teacher of the dojo. ”

This is the current master of the Black Palace Dojo.

In fact, generally speaking, when a strange teenager enters the kendo hall, he usually comes to find someone or to learn kendo.

But Mr. Kuronomiya could sense that the young man in front of him was probably here for other purposes.

He has a peculiar temperament.

Just standing there relaxed and natural, there is a posture of coming to kick the gym.

"I ......"

Kamiya pondered his rhetoric for a moment.

How to say that?

I'm here to teach you kendo skills?

When he said this, it seemed that he had really come to kick the gym to stir up trouble.

However, considering that the Kuronomiya family is also a member of the soul removal industry, Kamiya has a more convenient way to talk to Kuromiya Tsunara - self-report.

"I'm Kamiyagawa, and I'm here to visit."

With that, Kamiya also showed his credentials for the countermeasure room.

The moment he saw the certificate, Kuromiya Tsunara's expression changed, he looked at the disciple who was still practicing freely, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Kamiya? You...... What are you here for? ”

Obviously, he had heard of the name of the ghost disciple.

"It's just to take a look at the self-manifesting stream."

"Same door?" Kuromiya Tsunagara still didn't understand why the big man in the spirit world in front of him suddenly came to visit, although Kamiya's attitude was very casual and friendly, but it still made him unconsciously sweat a little, and even the name of Kamiya changed again, "Your Excellency really makes me panic when you say this. ”

"It's the same door, I have some friendship with your Black Palace family."

Kamiya added this, but it was only up to the point, and he didn't continue to explain.

Kuromiya Tsunara didn't ask about this, and he himself had no contact with Kamiyagawa at all.

But since Kamiya said that there is friendship, it means that there is friendship!

For such a big man, the Black Palace family would like to have something to do with him.

Since people don't have the meaning to continue to explain, it's a bit boring to break the casserole and ask how much self-deprecation, so honestly respond to this so-called "friendship".

"Mr. Kuronomiya, that one ......"

Kamiya gestured with his eyes to the pony-tailed girl who was swinging a sword alone in the distance.

"You mean Aoi?"

"Is she from the Black Palace family? Or is it just a protégé here? ”

"Aoi is my niece. It's really from the Kuronomiya family, but my brother went to Aoi's mother's Jiguang Temple, so Aoi took her mother's surname Tsurumi. Aoi has been practicing kendo with me since she was very young. ”

"That's right."

Kamiyagawa nodded.

The Kuromiya family should be the descendants of the red ghost teacher, so this girl named Tsurumi Aoi is also considered the descendant of the teacher, and there is a blood connection.

No problem.

As for Yoshikoji Temple......

Temple, that strange aura on that girl's body, could it be related to the temple of her mother's house?

It feels like it's interesting.

Kamiyagawa thought a little, even if the strange aura on Tsurumi Aoi was put aside, anyway, it was better to teach the swordsmanship of the Kuronomiya family, and to teach a girl who still had the possibility of development than to teach Kuromiya Tsunara, an uncle whose skills were almost fixed.

"Oh? Oh! ”

Kuromiya Tsunashi continued to observe Kamiyagawa's expression, and even if he was sluggish, he noticed the other party's attention to his niece.

A person who has lived for half his life, he has never seen anything, and he instantly understood why the big man in front of him suddenly came to visit.

Although Xiao Aoi is usually a little less talkative and gloomy, like an unapproachable little hedgehog, she has inherited her mother's outstanding appearance very well.

It's normal for some story to happen between teenagers and girls.

This is youth.

It's better to say ...... Well done, Aoi!

It turns out that you are the so-called "friendship"!

Kuromiya Tsunara, who was making up the romantic story of youth in his mind, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his uncle's smile, and then was pulled back to reality by Kamiya's voice:

"Mr. Kuronomiya, how is Tsurumi Aoi's self-manifestation swordsmanship?"

"Xiaokui, she works very hard, and her talent is also very good." Kuromiya said truthfully.

Although I don't know what Kamiyagawa is going to do, he is very cooperative.

Mr. Kuronomiya turned to the disciples in the dojo and clapped his hands: "Let's stop practicing on our own and train for battle." Aoi-chan, Yuichi, you come first. ”

No matter how much you say it, it can't compare to letting Kamiyagawa take a direct look at the battle situation.

The disciples of the dojo quickly gathered.

These disciples didn't know what the origin of Kamiyagawa, a young man who seemed to be a college student, anyway, the teacher, who was usually meticulous, just whispered a few words to him by the door of the venue, and then became eyebrows and smiled.

Tsurumi Aoi also glanced at Kamiya beside his uncle, and only felt that there was a sense of familiarity from the other party for no reason, so he looked at it for a while.

But she didn't have time to think about it, so she went to change the protective gear as requested.

And the niece's gaze naturally did not escape the attention of Kuromiya Tsunara.

What am I talking about?

Something happened to the two of them!

Tsurumi Aoi and another disciple named Yuichi quickly changed their protective gear and bowed opposite each other with a bamboo knife in the center of the dojo.

Both sides stretched out bamboo knives at the same time, and the blades touched.

But they didn't make a move right away, but they were preparing to test it.

Compared to the slender girl, Yuichi is a well-developed strong man, wearing a blue-black protective gear, standing there like a man-bear.

The difference in size between the two sides is very large.

"Hmmm......"

Kamiyagawa quietly watched the battle that was about to begin, and he noticed that Yuichi's tentative steps were a little messy.

Kamiya, who is extremely experienced in combat, knows what that means.

The boy named Yuichi is not very confident in the face of his opponent, and he is a little weak-hearted.

And Tsurumi Aoi, her body is extremely relaxed. Looking at the stance, you can see that even the muscles of her shoulders and arms are not completely tense when she is not attacking.

"Seems pretty good."

Kamiyagawa made a preliminary judgment in his heart.

"Hah!"

The two sides in the confrontation were Yuichi who couldn't hold his breath first.

He shouted to intimidate his opponent, and the bamboo knife swung up, slashing down with great force.

Syllable.

Tsurumi Aoi's wrist shook dexterously, and while slashing horizontally, the bamboo knife in his hand stabbed forward.

"Noodles!"

The blow hit Yuichi's mask, knocking the strong man out in an instant.

In the practice of kendo battles, it is more about hitting key parts to score to win, and it is rare to see someone like Tsurumi Aoi who can knock out an opponent with a single blow.

And Kamiya, who is an expert, also understands the path of Tsurumi Aoi's swift blow.

That's a "three-foot fight".

Although he collected his strength, he exerted himself smoothly.

The result of the battle was, of course, Tsurumi Aoi winning, and then Kuromiya Tsunara wanted to arrange a new opponent for her, anyway, to let her niece behave well in front of Kamiyagawa.

I had to prove to him that my niece was not a vase.

However, for Kamiya, there is no need to watch the battle again.

"Mr. Kuronomiya, though this request is a bit sudden. However, can I instruct Tsurumi Aoi swordsmanship? (End of chapter)
