I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 85 Satsuma Shishiyu

The long and narrow alley only allowed three people to walk side by side. Nagara Sosuke got a bamboo hat from somewhere and put it on his head to protect him from the wind and rain.

He has challenged three schools, and except for the first Ichikawa Itto-ryu, the other two schools have disappointed him with their skills.

"Satsuma shows current flow?"

Passing through the alley, a dojo with a large area appeared in sight. There was a sign advertising enrollment at the door. It was not a swordsman holding a sword, but a girl model in short-sleeved clothes. He raised his eyebrows and was a little unhappy.

"Good morning, are you here to sign up?"

As soon as he entered the door, staff members wearing dojo training uniforms came up to ask, Nagara Sosuke lowered his head and said.

"I'm here to discuss with your gym leader, please let me know on my behalf."

"This guest, our dojo does not accept door-to-door competitions. If you are not here to learn kendo, please go back."

The staff directly rejected Nagara's introduction. In his opinion, this was just to cause trouble.

"Then I'm sorry."

Nagara Sosuke took out the sheathed Kotetsu, swung sideways, and hit the staff member on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

"Someone is causing trouble!"

"Come together!"

Someone not far away witnessed this scene and shouted loudly. After a while, dozens of Satsuma Shishi-ryu students wearing training uniforms and holding bamboo swords surrounded them. This year, there was actually one person who came to kick the gym.

You really feel like you are lucky, don't you?

Nagara Sosuke, who was wearing a bamboo hat and holding an unsheathed Kotetsu, rushed into the encirclement. With an upper hand move, he hit the first lucky man on the forehead. He controlled his strength very well, but

Knock it out.

Changing his moves, he used Kotetsu to block several bamboo swords coming from the side. Nagara Sousuke stretched out his legs and kicked out several times. The ancient swordsmanship and physical skills also attached great importance. His kicks were quick and powerful, knocking him down.

There was a row of students.

With Kotetsu in his hand, he reversed his posture of holding the sword. After Nagara Sousuke finished dealing with a row of students, he turned around and slashed against the cassock, knocking away the bamboo sword that was sneaking up from behind. The slash turned into a straight thrust of the tooth, and he hit the sneak attack.

The opponent's throat was stabbed back a few steps without much force, and he covered his neck and rolled on the ground.

The posture of holding the knife changed to the middle position. The circle of students around Nagara Sousuke was cleared in the electric light. The remaining people also calmed down and raised their swords in confusion around the middle-aged man who came to kick the gym. This guy

He's really quite capable.

"Hoo, ho!"

A courageous student couldn't help but step forward, exhaling and shouting to increase his confidence. After approaching, he kicked his legs on the spot, showing the essence of Satsuma's current flow, combined with the rapid slashing of Qiaijutsu, flowing smoothly in his hands.

Use the force and use the force to slash diagonally towards Nagara Xiangjie.

"clatter!"

Nagara Sousuke's Kotetsu met the student's diagonal slash. The two of them passed each other. The student took a few steps forward with inertia. A red mark on his face was very conspicuous. After shaking his body a few times, he fell to the ground and fainted.

"You guys step aside and I'll entertain this guest."

An old voice came from the door of the training room of the dojo. Nagara Sangsuke looked up and saw a short seventy-year-old man, wearing a simple short kimono with a tachi on his waist and inserting his hands into it.

Pocket, looking at himself with interest.

His body doesn't look like he's been trained for a long time, but his swordsmanship is second-to-none. Isn't this person strange?

After the seventy-year-old man finished the analysis, he murmured in his heart that when he was the age of Nagara Sosuke, his physical fitness reached its peak, and the combination of skills and physique was called the golden age of a swordsman. However, the Nagara Sosuke in front of him relied entirely on his superb skills.

Only with his own skills can he defeat so many of his disciples cleanly. There are quite a few masters among these people who are around the sixth or seventh level.

"Dongxiang Yinqian, please give me your advice."

He pulled out the sword from his waist, and the cold light from the blade shone across his eyebrows. In a duel between masters, only real swords can be used to show sincerity.

"Unknown swordsman, please give me your advice."

Nagara Sousuke also pulled out Kotetsu, and the nearby students got out of the way, dragging away his unconscious companion on the ground, and the two began to confront each other in the spacious courtyard.

Togo Inzen holds the sword in both hands and assumes the starting position of the upper hand. Satsuma Show's moves are always simple and effective, with flexible steps. The forward and reverse cassock slashes are used very frequently. It is a practical swordsmanship focusing on killing people.

As for Nagara Sosuke, his swordsmanship was learned from many ancient schools in his early years. After wandering in the troubled times of Edo, he formed his own school. He pays attention to quick and accurate strikes. One sword after another, the momentum is astonishing, like the roar of the ocean waves.

"This guest who wishes to remain anonymous, in this era, it is not popular to establish a gymnasium. I think your swordsmanship has its own system. Do you want to open a gym?"

During the confrontation, Togo Tonmae did not forget to use his words to dig out some information. The swordsman who suddenly came to kick the gym had a motive that could be explained. He only thought of this.

"Fame and wealth are no longer what I pursue. My regret in this life is that I have not been able to prove my swordsmanship. Please give me some advice."

Nagara Sosuke disdained lying. After speaking, he took the initiative to thrust his knife forward and stabbed Togo Tozen's throat.

"Clang--Clang!"

Togo Inzen's sword held Nagara Sosuke's Kotetsu, and he used the sword's harpoon to jam Kotetsu's blade, rubbing it along the way to create sporadic sparks. The two of them got close, looked at each other, and raised their feet in unison, kicking each other.

Remember, they use each other's strength to stay a few steps apart.

Are you also a practical person?

The two of them each thought of this and used physical skills in the swordsmanship competition. It turned out that everyone was LYB.

There was a tacit smile on each other's faces, and Dongxiang Yinqian took the initiative to step forward this time. He raised his hand and slashed with his cassock, breaking the sound of the wind, and slashed down without hesitation.

Nagara Sosuke turned sideways to avoid Togo Tomasa's cassock slash. It was not that he was unable to hold up Togo Tomasae's blade, but that he judged that after the cassock slash, Togo Tomasae would quickly follow up with a reverse cassock slash. If he forced it,

If you accept it, you will become passive.

Sure enough, after Togo Inzen's slash failed, he reversed the blade in the blink of an eye and slashed against the cassock. Nagara Sosuke blocked the blow and took a few steps back, panting slightly.

It seems like we need to get serious about it.

The opponent in front of him was stronger than the master of Ichikawa's Itto-ryu. Nagara Sosuke re-arranged his sword-holding stance in the middle and became completely serious.

Tongo Tomae, who was flexing his muscles, also became excited. He hadn't faced such a strong opponent for a long time. He took the dragonfly hand pose in the upper section. This is the most essential posture of Satsuma Gemeiryu. His footsteps began to move irregularly, as usual.

The pace of the Kendo school is different. When he sets up the dragonfly structure, he pays more attention to the flexibility and initiative of the attack.

"drink!"

Shouting in his mouth to cheer up, Nagara Sosuke stepped forward quickly, and Togo Tomae met him without giving in. The two swords slashed horizontally and vertically in mid-air, staggering several times. In the end, Nagara Sosuke's Kotetsu

Swinging away Dongxiang Yinqian's sword, he placed it on Dongxiang Yinqian's neck.

"You win, young man."

Togo Tomae lowered his head and sighed, he was getting old after all, and when they fought in the end, he didn't have enough energy to fight, so he was blocked by Nagara Shosuke, and his chess move was missed.

"Thank you for your advice."

Nagara Shosuke neatly sheathed his sword and left the dojo.

There will be another chapter or two around 10pm
