Kondo didn't reply, only nodded silently, and then continued to watch the contest between Aoto and Suzuki intently.

This is a competition to examine Qingdeng’s current strength.

So Qingto knows that if he keeps defending and dodging like this, Kondo will definitely not buy it. Kondo will definitely want to see how his offensive ability is. If he doesn't start attacking quickly, Kondo will definitely not stop this sparring match.

.

Therefore, after dodging another attack from Suzuki, Qingden looked at the gap where Suzuki's sword had just been swung but had not yet had time to retract it, and aimed at Suzuki's head and struck out with the bamboo sword in his hand.

However - Suzuki is a good player offensively, and he is also not weak defensively.

I saw him quickly take a step back, and at the same time quickly put the bamboo sword in his arms into his arms, and then took away Qingdeng's bamboo sword.

Unwilling to give up, Qingdeng struck 2 more times with his sword.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of the bamboo swords clashing sounded twice in a row.

These two attacks from Ayoto were neutralized by Suzuki.

Not only was it neutralized, Suzuki quickly took a step forward after parrying Qingden's last attack, and saw Qingden's bamboo sword being deflected away. With the gap wide open, Suzuki aimed a heavy blow at Qingden's chest.

Cut off with a knife.

At this moment, the three apprentices who came to learn swordsmanship with Suzuki in the audience all showed smiles as if they had seen something funny, and one of them even let out a low laugh.

For the three of them who had learned swordsmanship, the skills of the swords Qingden had just struck were so poor that they were just like watching a child swinging a sword. They were so bad that they couldn't help laughing.

After noticing that these three people were laughing, Okita immediately gave these three people a fierce look.

After being glared at by Okita, the three people quickly stopped the smiles on their faces.

When Okita used his eyes to stop the three people from laughing, Kondo said to himself without expression:

——Tachibana-kun’s level... I’ve probably figured it out...

After watching the series of contests between Ainoto and Suzuki just now, Kondo had already prepared an evaluation of Ainoto's strength in his mind: his footwork level is acceptable, but his swordsmanship level is only better than that of ordinary people who have never been exposed to swordsmanship.

a little.

——The foundation of swordsmanship is a little poor, so you have to start from the most basic level.

——The overall level... can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a relatively good footwork foundation.

——Let’s see this first.

Kondo, who believed that there was no need for Aoto and Suzuki to compete anymore, slowly raised his hand, preparing to stop the competition.

However, at this moment——

"Huh?" Kondo's eyes suddenly widened slightly, and then he looked at Ayoto on the dojo.

Others who made similar moves were Okita.

Kondo and Okita, almost at the same time, slightly opened their eyes and stared at Qingto.

A growing sense of surprise slowly appeared in their eyes.

…

…

Neither Kondo nor Okita could see it—there was a "high-speed projector" set up in Aomori's mind.

What was shown in the projector was exactly the scene where he had just competed with Suzuki.

Qingdeng stared uncontrollably at the "movie" playing in the "projector".

In my mind, the "movie" plays out frame by frame.

In reality, Qingdeng's left hand holding the knife was slightly loosened, and the heel of his left foot was slightly raised.

——I just... seemed to have held the knife too tightly... and put my weight too far back...

In the system's talent list, the entry "Sword Talent" shines with bright golden light at this moment!
