08 [The Strongest Sword]

Time a month later.

In the front yard of the kendo hall, in the evening, a thin and tall figure, wearing a white kendo uniform and holding a bamboo sword, was waving it again and again.

The long wave had already made the girl's forehead oozing with fine sweat, and even her breathing became heavy.

In the month since Guina woke up, with the help of a nurse sent by the old doctor, massaged her body, and began to rebuild, Guina was able to do some basic movements with low difficulty.

I also started basic exercises such as running.

And the intensity is constantly increasing.

But even the people in this world are physically strong and resilient, and a month is a long time for Guina.

Still not able to reach her previous life, Guina felt that since she was dead in Ionia, she should consider it her experience in her previous life.

After all, everything in Ionia is real, not to mention that everything learned in that world does not affect the fact that Guina will continue to use it in this world.

Therefore, Guina was not satisfied that she had not yet returned to her physical state in her previous life.

However, she also knew that this body had missed the nine years of the best cultivation, so she could only take her time, and if she was too late, she would not be able to reach it quickly.

I just don't know when I'll be able to get back to that feeling of being at the top again.

Koshiro stood under the eaves and silently looked at Guina, who was sweating, and did not disturb or stop him.

He has long been mentally prepared that no matter what path his daughter chooses, he will choose to support him.

Even if becoming the world's number one swordsman is an unattainable dream in his opinion, he is willing to let his daughter try it.

And obviously, the daughter still hasn't given up on this path.

"Ugh." Koshiro had to sigh silently.

"Father." Hearing a sigh, Guina stopped her movements and wiped her sweat.

"Your dreams haven't changed, have they?"

"Yes, father." Guina nodded.

"Then do what you want to do." Koshiro said as he pulled out the knife on his body.

"Father?" Guina looked at the knife in Koshiro's hand suspiciously, not knowing what to do.

"Do you know what [the strongest sword] is?"

Koshiro walked over to the big stone by the courtyard wall and asked Koina.

"[The strongest sword]...... Able to cut everything? Guina said hesitantly.

"In my opinion, even a sword that can cut through everything is not the strongest."

Brush.

With a wave of Koshiro's long knife, the silver light flashed, and the stone in front of him was divided into two sections, and the fracture was smooth as a realm.

It can be seen from this that Koshiro's kendo strength is very profound.

"Cut off the stone, I was able to do it in my previous life." Guina thought silently.

"So, father, what is [the strongest sword]?"

"I have answered this question before, and I have answered Sauron."

Koshiro picked up a leaf,

"Do you think I'll be able to cut it open?"

"Yes." After all, her father could even cut through a stone, let alone a leaf.

"Look."

As he spoke, Koshiro threw the leaves into the sky, and when he fell, he slashed the blade in his hand at the leaves.

This time, the tiny, fragile leaves were not cut in half as smooth as the hard stone.

"This ...... Why?? ”

Guina could clearly see that her father's blade had accurately slashed the leaf, but she could also clearly see that the blade had not left any marks on the leaf.

She didn't understand.

In the few years she has been learning kendo, the sword she holds has always been extremely sharp, not to mention that the sword art of the wind has always been known for its speed and sharpness.

"Listen, Guina, there are swordsmen who can cut everything in this world, and there are swordsmen who can cut everything, but a swordsman who can cut everything, he can cut iron with the same sword."

"Cut the iron? Sharpen iron like clay? Is it the Great Sword Hero? Guina asked excitedly.

"Sort of, but Guina, in my opinion, the so-called [strongest sword] should be a sword that protects what you want to protect, a sword that cuts what you want to cut, and that hurts everything you touch, and I don't think it's a sword."

"The sword of protection...... Is it? Guina mused

Koshiro nodded with satisfaction when he saw the contemplative Guina, his daughter's understanding is still good, and of course her talent is also good.

"But father, how can a sword that cuts through everything cut iron? What if there is iron harder than your own sword? ”

Guina asked, confused.

"What are you doing?" Koshiro asked with a smile.

"I'm ...... Sword training? Listen to you? Guina replied as she raised the bamboo knife in her hand.

"No, you're breathing." Koshiro lifted his glasses.

"Huh? Call...... Suck ......"

Guina was stunned, what do you mean? Breathe...... I'm really breathing, yes. Guina took two deep breaths and nodded in agreement.

Koshiro smiled when he saw his daughter's appearance, it's so cute~

"Man has the breath of man, stone has the breath of stone, trees have the breath of trees, earth has the breath of earth...... Everything breathes.

The so-called [sword that cuts everything] is to ask you to learn to perceive everything around you, to feel their breath, once you do it, then you can cut the iron and reach a new realm, this realm can also be called [swordsman], and being able to send out a powerful flying slash is the realm of [great swordsman] that swordsmen yearn for. ”

Koshiro said softly.

And after listening to this, Guina also thought about it seriously.

"Feel the breath of all things?"

Guina couldn't help but think of Ionia again...... Yes, before the age of nine, Guina learned kendo and simply swung the sword, although with such swordsmanship, Guina was able to defeat adults, but her strongest kendo was learned from Elder Soma.

The Ionian people, who worship nature and believe in the unity of all things, through meditation, perceive all things, learn magic, integrate themselves into nature, and live in harmony with it, which is one of the skills that every strong person is good at.

And luckily, Guina also learned.

Like perceiving the wind, Guina, who entered a meditative state, saw all things.

"But...... The so-called respiratory ...... What is the state exactly? ”

Guina kept thinking.

And Koshiro next to him saw the pensive Gu Yina, and he didn't bother, and stood quietly on the side silently guarding.

Now Koshiro is not just standing aside when Guina is practicing swords, even if she goes out for a run, Koshiro will follow silently, not daring to let Guina alone.

Although, Guina has grown up and is no longer a child.
