I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"……what?"

　　 Yuanshan turned his head and looked at Ash beside him with cold eyes.

　　 And Ash also added anxiously at this time:

　　 "Did you not tie in the match you had the other day? If the two of you really can compete again in the sacrifice to the gods, are you really sure to defeat that Ogata in the sacrifice to the gods?"

　　嘭.

　　 Toyama directly loosened his hand, allowing the wine glass in his hand to fall on the tatami.

　　 The sound of a wine glass falling on the ground, which is neither light nor heavy, shocked Ash.

　　 "Are you... doubting my strength?"

　　 Far Shan’s face is full of unhappy and angry shadows.

"I, I'm not doubting your strength Danna!" A little cold sweat began to appear on Ash's face because of anxiety, "You tied with that Ogata in the previous competition, I just... simple I am worried about you..."

Snapped!

　　 Before Ash's words were finished, Yuanshan slapped Ash's face directly with a crisp "pop" sound.

Ash, who was kneeling on the ground, knocked over to the ground. While exclaiming, he raised his white hands and stubbornly covered the half of his cheek with scarlet palm prints, tearfully watching the sudden violent just now. The distant mountain that slapped her.

　　 "Do you know what you were talking about?!"

　　 Yuanshan is drinking violently.

　　 "You dare to doubt my strength just now?"

　　 "The reason why I didn't quickly draw a victory or defeat with Ogata a few days ago was simply because I didn't expect that Ogata had hidden his strength and underestimated him!"

　　 "Next time I have a duel with that Ogata, I won't make this mistake again! As soon as the competition starts, I will do my best!"

　　 "As long as I try my best from the beginning, defeating Ogata will be a breeze!"

　　 Ash who was knocked to the ground sobbed.

　　 "Before you...make a guarantee with your gang of brothers...that you will definitely win this year's sacrifice to the gods..."

　　 "You and your brothers have also decided the punishment you will face if you lose the sacrifice to the gods..."

　　 "I just simply worry that you will lose the sacrifice to the gods..."

As soon as 　　 Ash's words fell, Yuan Shan hummed heavily with his nose:

　　 "All of your worries are unnecessary!"

　　 "It's impossible for me to lose the sacrifice to the gods at all!"

　　 "So the punishment that my brothers and I have decided upon after losing the sacrifice to the gods will never happen!"

　　 The first year of Kuanzheng (AD 1789), June 15th——

　　 Hirose Clan, Sakihara Sword Museum.

　　Today's Sakura Sword Museum, the air is full of tension.

　　 There is no other reason-today is the day when the Sakura Sword Museum held the grand competition in the museum only twice a year.

　　 From a certain point of view, the hall is a test left by Sakihara Hanbei to his disciples-to check how well the disciples have been practicing swords in the past six months.

　　 People who don’t care about ranking are actually a minority.

All the disciples of 　　榊原剑館 are basically just at the age of fresh blood.

　　 Most people hope that they can get a good ranking.

　　 Almost all of them are standing on the periphery of the dojo, moving their muscles and bones, making the final preparations.

　　 and Xu convenient is one of the only exceptions.

　　 Ogata finished the warm-up early, and then sat cross-legged in a corner on the edge of the dojo.

　　 Sitting cross-legged in the corner, Ogata is not in a daze.

　　 is checking his personal interface.

　　 [Name: Ogata Itase]

　　 [Level: LV9: 240/800]

　　【Personal attributes:

　　 Power: 5

　　Agility: 8

　　 Reflex nerve: 8

　　 Physical strength: 5

　　Vitality: 5]

　　【Genre of martial arts:

　　 Sakihara One Sword Style: 5 steps: 260/900]

　　【Remaining skill points: 0 points】

　　【Sakihara One Sword Style (5 paragraphs):

　　Stairs: Elementary

　　Waterfall: Intermediate

　　Bird thorn: Advanced

　　 Dragon Tail: Elementary】

　　 Since the competition with Toyama until now, Ogata's experience points have not increased much.

　　 Because the disciples in the sword hall are not happy to compare swords with others these days.

　　 In previous years, there have been many fools who accidentally injured their bodies when they competed with others in the hall on the eve of the big competition.

　　 Now in ancient Japan, there is no protective gear in the sword hall. Everyone is practicing in pairs with wooden swords.

　　 Although everyone usually clicks to do it during the duel practice, but occasionally accidentally misses and hurts people.

　　 In order to avoid the stupid things that would happen before the start of the big competition in the hall, the disciples of Sakura Sword Hall were not happy to practice against others.

　　Because there is no one to practice, Ogata's experience value naturally rises very slowly.

　　 After all-if he wants to upgrade quickly, he has only to fight with people.

　　 Ogata is not particularly interested in the big competition in the museum.

　　Because Ogata can also have fun with the brothers on weekdays, Ogata is not very interested in the big competition in the museum.

　　 For Ogata in the hall, it was just a change of way to discuss with the brothers.

　　 But I am not interested, but Ogata has no plans to play negatively.

　　 After a while, their master, Hanbei Sakihara, stepped slowly but powerfully into the dojo.

　　 Ogata and others hurriedly stopped everything they were doing and sat down on the edge of the dojo.

　　 Kneeling and sitting on the main position of the dojo~www.wuxiahere.com~ After Sakihara Hanbei babbled a couple of nonsense, "Everyone must go all out," and immediately announced the start of the competition.

　　 The way of the competition in the hall is very simple-which two disciples Hanbei calls the names, the two disciples must immediately go out to compete.

　　The winner advances, and the loser quits.

　　 What a coincidence is that the first pair of players turned out to be Ogata and Makino.

　　 Ogata and Makino took their wooden swords and walked to the center of the dojo with wry smiles.

　　 "Senior Ogata..." Makino smiled bitterly, while raising the wooden sword, set his mid-stage posture, "I didn't expect...My first opponent turned out to be you..."

　　 "I didn't expect it either." Ogata also slowly set his posture in the middle.

　　 "In recent days, when I competed with Ogata-senpai with you, I almost never beat you. This time I may also end in a disastrous defeat."

　　 "But no matter what! I will do my best! At the same time, I also hope that Ogata-senpai will do the same with you!"

　　 "No problem!" Ogata said readily, "I won't make any reservations, and I will do my best to defeat you."

　　 The two were in a mid-stage posture and stood in a stalemate with each other for a while.

　　 However——

"Aha--!"

　　 Toyama uttered an astonishing shout, and then stepped forward, swinging his sword towards Ogata.

　　 Now, Ogata’s agility and reflex nerves are each 8 points, and the rest of the attributes remain unchanged at 5 points.

　　 At the moment when the attribute value of the reflex nerve changed to 8 points, Ogata only felt that Makino's sword was too slow.

　　 Ogata's eyes can clearly follow the speed and trajectory of Makino's sword.

　　 And his 8 agility, Ogata easily dodges Makino's sword.
