I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Yoyogi Park, adjacent to NHK TV station and Meiji Shrine, used to be an army training ground, and is currently a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo.

At the beginning of April, it is the day when the cherry blossoms gradually bloom.

Under the moonlight, the pink and white cherry blossoms blooming on the lakeside of Yoyogi Park kept falling on the quiet lake surface under the breeze, causing slight waves.

Abeji, a beautiful boy with a lazy and gentle temperament, is wearing a sword bag, bathing in the night cherry blossoms by the lake, like a masterpiece of a masterpiece.

In the same scene, Araki Sousuke, who was standing not far from him, and Yamada Kengo, who was pulled to be a witness, looked suspicious like criminals who came to the lake to throw their bodies late at night.

"How about it, indiscriminate kendo competition, no protective gear, are you prepared to be beaten up by this uncle?"

Putting the bamboo sword on his shoulder, Araki Sosuke asked in a dazed manner.

The sword in his hand was extra brought by Abe Temple.

"Since it's an indiscriminate kendo competition, it's just a good time for me to show you the true meaning of 'Tiantian First Class' which cannot be used in the competition."

Abeji opened the sword bag behind him, and took out a long sword for practice and a shorter "Wakizashi".

Threat difference, also known as threat finger. It is a short knife with a blade length of no more than 60 cm, and is often used by samurai as a backup for the main knife.

"Go ahead, even if you want to bite again, I have no problem."

Araki Sousuke yawned and said indifferently.

"start."

Standing in the distance, the temporary referee Yamada Kengo shouted the password to start the game.

At this moment, Abeji, with the long sword in front of his right hand and the wakizashi in his left hand, showed an extremely calm and restrained aura.

"Using Ertian's first-class me is completely different from when I was in the game. You have to be careful."

"Long-winded, hurry up and go home to sleep."

Opposite him, Araki Sousuke was holding a sword in both hands like a beginner.

For a moment, both of them stood still, only the cherry blossoms scattered in the sky, proving that this was not a paused scene.

"Is it this flamboyant, alluring posture again?"

Abe Temple thought to himself.

In his eyes, who practiced kendo since he was a child, Araki Sousuke opposite him stood in an extremely irregular posture, full of flaws.

But he knew that it was a terrifying opponent with beast-like intuition.

In the finals of the year before last, he saw that the opponent was full of flaws, and was lured to take the first shot, but was knocked unconscious by Araki Sosuke's "stick" quickly and hard.

From that day on, he understood a truth.

When you make an attack, it is the time to expose your flaws.

Abe, who has suffered a loss once, will naturally not rush to attack himself.

"Is this... is the highest level of university swordsmanship? Just the aura of standing makes people unable to breathe."

In the distance, Yamada Kengo, the two hadn't played against each other, but their blood was already boiling with excitement.

At this moment, Araki Sosuke moved.

Holding the long sword at his waist, he ran towards Abe Temple extremely fast.

"Hmph, can't you bear it?"

As the distance between the two drew closer, Sosuke Araki swung his sword with one hand, slashing across Abeji Temple.

The opponent's sword was powerful, but not fast.

Abeji, who had seen the strange power of Araki Sousuke, had to dodge subconsciously.

However, he remembered the words of his master when he was cultivating on the top of the snow mountain in Hokkaido.

"If you can't break through the opponent's strongest point, your sword heart will never be transparent."

That's right, if it's just to dodge this sword in embarrassment, what is the purpose of my hard work for more than a year?

Changing his mind, he immediately greeted Araki Sousuke with the long sword in his right hand.

The two wooden swords met in the air, and with the sound of breaking through the air, they collided with flames.

"Well done!"

The "temporary referee" Kengo Yamada, who stood aside, completely forgot his identity and praised in a low voice.

Abeji felt as if the bamboo sword in his hand had been hit by a truck driving at high speed, his whole hand lost feeling instantly, and he almost couldn't hold the sword.

His face was full of surprise.

This guy just swung his sword with one hand, and it actually surpassed the strength of his two-handed sword in the competition a year ago.

Could it be that this guy's strength has grown to this level in just over a year?

It seems that he is not making progress alone.

But he was not discouraged, instead he showed a determined smile.

However, I now have two swords.

"Hmph, this time, I won."

I saw Abeji's footsteps moving, and he was stuck in front of Araki Sosuke like lightning and flint.

Threatening the difference in his hand, he slashed at the opponent very trickily.

This distance is already beyond the reach of Araki Sousuke's long sword.

"Oops." Seeing Araki Sousuke being pulled closer by Abe Temple, Yamada Kengo also sighed secretly.

This Abe Temple's Ertian is first-class, it is really amazing.

The "two days" in Ertian First Class refers to "two days basking in the sun", which means the sun and the moon, yin and yang. The two weapons are integrated and unified, and both offensive and defensive are considered. It is a superb swordsmanship created by the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi in his later years.

Just when both of them thought that the overall situation was settled, Araki Sousuke took a leisurely move in the face of Abeji's stabbing threat.

His left hand, which was not holding a sword, was like a vise, and grabbed Abeji's wrist fiercely, making it impossible for the opponent to cut any further with the sword.

And all of this happened in just a few seconds.

The two fought a sword with their right hands, and held each other with their left hands, and they were about to reach a deadlock.

"You guys, don't forget, this is an indiscriminate sword competition..."

Araki Sousuke smiled slantingly, and leaned back abruptly.

Eyes meeting, energy colliding, Abeji only felt that what was in front of him was a beast that acted on instinct and chose to eat people.

Locked by the murderous intent, Abe Temple reflexively surged out a force, which flowed down his arm to his left hand.

The left hand held by Araki Sousuke suddenly burst out with a strong force, broke free, and Wakizawa continued to stab the opponent's abdomen.

Then, that force extended along the arm to the wakizashi he was holding.

Seeing Wakizawa stabbing at the opponent with that strength, but it was too late to stop, Abeji felt a chill in his heart.

"Something's going to happen..."

Unknowingly, he used spiritual power on ordinary people.

This is taboo.

Even if the spiritual power awakened by the family's blood inheritance is only transmitted to the wooden knife, it can make the wooden knife as sharp as a real knife.

Before he could recover his spiritual power, he seemed to have seen the scene where Araki Sousuke was stabbed by him.

Abeji only had time to turn the stab into a slash, and Wakizashi had already slashed to Araki Sousuke's abdomen.

Then, the spiritual power on the wooden knife dissipated as if it had never existed before.

With a "click", it hit Araki Sousuke's ribs, and the wooden wakizasa broke apart, leaving only a short section still connected to the handle.

At the same time, Araki Sousuke's face, which became more violent and distorted due to pain, became bigger and bigger in Abeji's sight...
