I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

After listening to the self-introduction of the owner of the gourd house-that is, Lin Kinoshita, Ogata couldn't help but looked at Lin Kinoshita several times with his complicated eyes.

"...Mamiya...Why is your lord a woman..."

"Oh? It turns out that the famous executioner Ichidozhai is the kind of person who discriminates against women and feels that women are not qualified to be sabers and do not have the qualifications to control others?"

Lin's tone was obviously unpleasant.

The atmosphere around Lin instantly became tense as Lin said this sentence.

Realizing that he might have misunderstood Lin, Ogata quickly said:

"No, I don't discriminate against women. I was simply surprised that I didn't match expectations."

"I always thought that the owner of the gourd house who can control the four people of Mamiya is a tough male with five big and three thick..."

"I never said that our lord is a man." Mamiya answered in a half-joking tone.

Lin pointed her curiosity gaze towards Ogata.

"The series of incidents that Kuro and Yapachi encountered when they landed on Butterfly Island, as well as...what happened to you, I just heard Kuro and the others say."

"What a surprise."

"Unexpectedly, there are still people in this world who can comprehend the second swordsmanship without self by relying on Uncle Gong's broken secret book."

Ogata heard Mamiya and they introduced the relationship between their lord and Genichi Kinoshita.

Kinoshita Genichi is Lin's grandfather's brother.

So the uncle Lin mentioned just now was naturally referring to Kinoshita Genichi.

"It's a pity that Uncle Gong is sleeping now, so he can't take a look at your "disciple" who had never been masked before."

"I finished my practice out an hour ago and went back to the gourd house. When I learned from Kuro that I had an additional junior, I really knew that my father had an illegitimate child and that I had a half-mother. Brother's feeling."

Hearing Lin's inexplicable joyous metaphor, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

Ogata didn't expect that Lin Kinoshita, who exuded a cold air all over her body, would even say such words with inexplicable smiles.

After looking at Ogata several times again, Lin suddenly changed into an extremely serious tone:

"Although from a certain point of view, you can be regarded as my younger brother, but I don't want to recognize you as my younger brother, nor do I want to recognize you as our disciple of the Second Dao Style without me."

Ogata raised his eyebrows.

As for the four Mamiya faces at this time, their expressions also changed slightly.

"You don't want to recognize me as a disciple of the second sword style without me... Can you tell me the reason?" Ogata folded his hands into the sleeves on both sides.

"Because I think you are just a thief who stole the swordsmanship of our Kinoshita family-what do you think of this reason?"

Hearing Lin's words, Ogata's face also began to show displeasure.

"Miss Kinoshita, what you said just now was partial, right?"

"It was your uncle who bestowed the secret book of the second swordsman without me to my teacher. I honestly mastered the secret book of the second swordsman from your uncle - why did you steal it?"

"Furthermore-am I considered a disciple of your second sword style without me? It should not be you who has the final say, but your uncle has the final say, right?"

"You are wrong." Lin was still full of frost, "It's me who has the final say. Two years ago, Uncle Gong had passed that he was in my position, and I am now the second generation of the second generation of sect family without me.

"I think you are a disciple of our second sword style without me, you are."

"I don't think you are our disciple of the second sword style without me, you are not."

"I think you stole the swordsmanship of our Kinoshita family. You are a thief."

Ogata's face was already full of impatience.

"Miss Lin... are you looking for me?"

"You are too worried. I'm just stating a fact."

"In that case—Miss Lin, let me state a fact too."

Ogata changed into a mocking tone.

"My thief's accomplishments in the Second Swordsmanship without me might be better than your orthodox direct descendant?"

Since Lin hadn't given Ogata a good face, Ogata was no longer polite, and he stopped giving Lin any good face, and ridiculed her straightforwardly.

Kneeling on both sides of Mamiya and others are already anxious at this time.

The idiots felt it out that the atmosphere between Ogata and Lin was tense now.

"Senior Asai..." Shimada whispered to Asai next to him, "What happened to the lord... why is she so angry... I keep talking very rude things to Ogata-sama..."

"How do I know?" Asai answered grimly.

The four of Mamiya racked their brains thinking of ways to ease the tension between Ogata and Lin.

But waiting for them to figure out a way, Lin frowned slightly at the ridicule of Ogata.

Then-

"Then let me see your level."

"How do you want to see?"

"Nothing can show the level of swordsmanship better than actual combat, right?"

"So that's the case, then-I will let you see it as you wish."

Ogata is not interested in things like "recognized by Lin as a disciple of the second sword style without self" or "recognized by Lin as her junior." These so-called "names" are not worth mentioning in Ogata's eyes.

The reason why he challenged was purely because he wanted to teach this guy who had been hostile to him inexplicably since just now.

Seeing Ogata agreed, Lin slightly nodded, turning her head to Shimada and said:

"Shimada."

"in!"

"Go and get three wooden knives. Two knives, one dagger."

"Yes!"

...

...

Shimada's movements are quick.

After a short while, he followed Lin's instructions and took three knives back.

Ogata waved the wooden Wakisashi with his left hand and the wooden sword with his right hand.

After confirming that there was no problem with the weight and center of gravity, Ogata looked at Shimada, who had already set the middle posture in front of him.

Ogata thought it was Lin who came off to fight him personally, but he didn't realize that it was not.

Lin picked Shimada for Ogata's rally.

Lin was still sitting on her knees under the Chisari gourd horse seal, while Mamiya and others stood far aside, leaving enough space for Ogata and Shimada.

"So you didn't fight with me?" Ogata asked Lin who was kneeling under the horse seal while playing with the knife in his hand.

"People who can't beat Rokuro in a row are not qualified to let me draw the sword."

"That's it... Then- Shimada, I'm on it."

"Come on!" Shimada held the already tightly held knife tighter.

After clenching the two swords in his hands, Ogata took a deep breath, and then slowly put on the "two swords style without me" starting position.

At the moment when the "Second Sword Style of No Self" was set up, Ogata also switched his breath to the "Breath of the Source".

【Ding! Use "Source's Breath" to temporarily increase the reflex nerve by 2 points]

[Current reflex nerve value: 11 points]

Looking at Ogata’s already-familiar chest, which undulates in rhythm, Lin's eyes condensed, and she whispered in a volume that only she could hear:

"It's really the breath of the source... and... the level is not low..."

Looking at Shimada in the standard mid-stage posture in front of him, Ogata suddenly thought:

——This seems to be the first battle I have fought since I was poisoned by Undead...

The wounds and fatigue left on Butterfly Island have all been recovered.

After the trauma and exhaustion were all recovered, Ogata finally clearly felt the increase in physical function brought to him by the immortal poison in his body.

It is not a temporary increase, it seems to be a permanent increase from the current situation.

His strength, agility, reflex nerves and other abilities have really all been comprehensively improved.

Through this battle with Shimada, let’s examine the specific level of the body after gaining an increase. As soon as this thought appeared in Ogata’s mind, Shimada in front of him sent out a very imposing qi. Ogata launched an attack.

Looking at the oncoming wooden knife blade, Ogata's brow furrowed slightly.

Shimada's every attack is both powerful and powerful-it's a pity that every one of his moves was avoided by Ogata with a step, or directly opened with a blade.

While resolving Shimada's every move one by one, Ogata's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Snapped!

After holding Shimada's crosscut with the left-hand Wakizashi again, Ogata whispered towards Shimada:

"Have you never learned any swordsmanship?"

Shimada's current expression...like a lie that had been exposed.

He lifted Ogata's knife, stepped back and widened the distance between Ogata's sword, and then softly responded:

"...Yes. I didn't follow any school."

After Shimada swung the first knife at him, Okinawa felt a strange feeling.

It wasn't until after flashing and receiving Shimada's tricks that Ogata finally determined what this strange feeling was about-every move Shimada made was an ordinary horizontal cut and vertical split, not a single one. A school of sword skills.

In modern earth terms, Shimada's situation is-only level A, not skill.

"It seems that you can only cut horizontally and vertically?" Ogata asked.

"Yeah." Shimada smiled bitterly, "After all, I haven't learned any swordsmanship, so I don't understand any swordsmanship, so I can only cut horizontally and vertically."

Speaking of this, Shimada paused.

Then he said to Ogata in a firm tone:

"Although I don't know any swordsmanship, my strength is still very strong. Please don't underestimate me."

Shimada seemed to mistake Ogata's two questions just now to mock him for not knowing swordsmanship.

After hearing Shimada's words, Ogata shook his head:

"I won't underestimate you. It's better to say-I admire you very much."

"It is admirable to be able to achieve this strength without knowing the swordsmanship."

Ogata's remarks are true, not a compliment to Shimada.

Although Shimada only knows how to cut horizontally and vertically, it can be seen that Shimada must have painstakingly honed these two tricks that he only knows.

Whether it is power, speed, or precision, they are all to the level of amazing.

After an ordinary samurai confronts Shimada, he is not necessarily the opponent of this samurai who does not know any swordsmanship.

When evading and defending Shimada's attack just now, Ogata was actually observing Shimada's strength.

And now - Ogata also has a rough assessment of Shimada's strength: he is not yet Ogata's opponent.

After tightening the two wooden knives in his hands, Ogata rushed towards Shimada!

Snapped!

Ogata's Wakisashi collided with Shimada's sword.

The two knives separated immediately after they collided heavily in mid-air.

Ogata did not end his offensive.

After Wakizashi was held up, he immediately swung his right-handed knife and slashed towards Shimada.

In this way, Ogata repeatedly swung his swords in a staggered manner, launching a continuous fierce attack on Shimada.

Shimada also tightened every nerve in his body, focusing on defending every slash of Ogata.

Because of being too focused, Shimada couldn't help but slow down his breathing.

Just as Shimada concentrated on defending Ogata's every slash...

"Well……!"

Shimada suddenly exclaimed.

Shimada didn't notice because his body and mind were all on defending Ogata's slash. Ogata had just stretched out his foot abruptly and hooked his foot.

The move used by Ogata is a hooked foot that is specifically used in Shiranui Jiu-Jitsu to destroy the center of gravity of the enemy's body.

The reason why he has been launching endless slashes on Shimada is to make Shimada focus on the defense of his slashes, while ignoring the protection of the bottom plate.

Because the stability of the bottom plate was undermined by Ogata, Shimada's posture was flawed due to the instability of the bottom plate.

Ogata, who had been waiting for this flaw for a long time, did not hesitate to swing a knife towards Shimada's left shoulder.

After all, this was just a discussion, not a life-and-death duel, so Ogata didn't aim at Shimada's face gate, but aimed at his left shoulder.

With the bottom plate losing stability, Shimada gritted his teeth and waved the sword in his hand, intending to fight hard to see if he could set Ogata's sword away.

And Shimada's last effort was destined to be useless--because Ogata's left hand was still holding a wakazashi.

Ogata raised the Wakisashi with his left hand and blocked Shimada's wooden sword that was going to hold him off.

The final defense hope was shattered, and Ogata's knife hit Shimada's left shoulder accurately.

Even though Ogata was regaining his strength, no matter how hard he regained his strength, the wooden knife slashed on a person's body, the person who was slashed would not feel better.

The facial features on Shimada's face immediately twisted together due to pain and fell to the ground.

"Master Ogata..." Shimada rubbed his still aching left shoulder, "You are too treacherous... you even stretched out your feet to hook my feet..."

"Katsurokuro!" Lin's voice suddenly sounded.

Lin's voice was full of faint dissatisfaction.

"Do not make excuses."

"The reason you were defeated just now was only because you did not practice enough."

"Forgetting to protect one's bottom plate in battle-this is evidence of insufficient practice"

"Give me a good reflection."

"Yes..."
