Chapter 37 Simulated Kendo Test
The next morning, after breakfast, he greeted his family. Yuki Motowa took out his samurai sword, Xixue. After looking at the house, he couldn't find a suitable sword bag to hold the sword. After all, he used a wooden knife, and even without wrapping it, he could carry it on the street with a swagger, so he had never prepared a special sword bag. After searching for it, he couldn't find a suitable bag. So Yuki Motowa picked up two old newspapers that his father had read to pack the suspected preservation-level famous sword, held it in his hand, and went out.
There are many people learning kendo in RB, so no policeman remembered to stop him from checking when he saw him carrying a long scroll of paper. Along the way, Yagyu Tomotohe came to the Aoki Kendo Hall very smoothly. It took less than thirty minutes to walk over from home.
At this time, Aoki Pavilion has opened business. The Kendo Pavilion is not like a gym, and there are not so many fitness equipment to be maintained. Moreover, the rules of Aoki Kendo Pavilion are: after completing the Kendo Learning, students need to be responsible for cleaning the classroom and maintaining related equipment, such as sword targets, sword stands and protective gears. The bamboo swords used by students are purchased by themselves. The Kendo Pavilion’s service staff only need to be responsible for cleaning and inspection of the room, and replace the special protective gears used for competitions.
Because it was sunday (Sunday), there were already many students who were exercising in it when Yagyu Motohiro entered the Aoki Pavilion. Seeing Yagyu Motohiro coming in, a female student who was welcomed quickly walked up and asked, "Are you a teacher in Yagyu?"
"Yes, is Director Aoki here?"
"The director and the two teachers have arrived early in the morning, specifically to wait for you." The female student looked at Yagyu Motoka with curiosity. Although Yagyu Motoka specially chose a black sportswear today, which could make him look more mature, judging from the expression of the female student, the effect is obviously very limited.
"It's rude. Can you ask how old is Yanagi teaching you?" The female student couldn't help but ask.
The female students who can take on the responsibility of welcoming guests in Aoki Hall are all first-class internal students. In Xianxia novels, they are equivalent to inner disciples. Therefore, she has heard that Aoki Hall will have a new teacher, but now seeing the appearance of Yagyu Motoka, it is too young. After all, there are only four teachers in Aoki Hall now, and the youngest one is still thirty years old.
"It's okay, I'm fourteen years old this year, and I'm Aoki Eima's junior." Yagyu Motoka said with a smile.
"Wow, Yagyu teaches you so young, um, young." The female student hurriedly covered her mouth. No matter how old Yagyu Tomokazu was, as a first-class teacher, she would treat her teacher's courtesy in the future. It would be too rude to say that the other person was young in person.
"It's okay, can we go in?" Yagyu Moto and the other person were amused.
Under the leadership of this female student, Yagyu Tomotohe walked through the wooden doors that separated the inner and outer dojos and came to the practice room of Director Aoki Yuki in the inner dojos.
"Yaoyuki, this is our first-class teacher, Nishimura Kuroshiro, this is my cousin, and also our first-class teacher, Aokihara Kazuya." In the inner dojo of the First-class inner temple, Yagyu Tomokazu met the director Aoki Yuemi from the Aoki Pavilion, and two teachers, as well as seven first-class disciples, Aoki Eima was also among them.
"Ah, is this Yayoi-kun's sword? It looks like a good sword!" When Yayoi Moto-kun untied the old newspaper wrapped outside, revealing the white wood scabbard without any decoration inside, Director Aoki first exclaimed politely. After all, the white wood scabbard is everywhere, so what can be seen?
On this occasion, only Director Aoki and the two teachers can speak, and of course, Yuki Tomokazu Yakushi had to be added. Like Aoki Eima, even the director's daughter is also Yao Tomokazu Yakushi's senior sister, but who made her a low seniority in Aoki's Aoki's Aoki's? In this occasion, not only was she not qualified to speak, but she was not even qualified to sit down. She could only stand behind Director Aoki's seat like other disciples as a decoration.
Yagyumoto and Shunsai handed over to Director Aoki Yoshiki, and then looked at the senior sister standing behind Director Aoki. On weekdays, Aoki Eima can be said to be majestic and powerful in the Kendo Club at the school. Even if he is the one who can only obey orders, who makes himself both a member of the Kendo Club and a junior?
However, on this occasion, she was sitting in a chair as a teacher, while Senior Aoki stood behind the director. It was obvious that the status of both parties had changed. Yuki Motoka couldn't help but smile silently at Eima Aoki, which was in return for Senior Aoki's glaring fiercely.
Seeing Xixue taking both hands, Aoki Yuki frowned slightly as soon as he took the sword. The weight of the sword was a little beyond his expectations.
So Aoki Yuki adjusted his sitting position, sat up straight, then placed the sword on the coffee table in front of him, put his hands together, and bowed slightly. Then he held the hilt of the sword with one hand, held the scabbard with the other, and pushed the sword body away with his thumb.
The sword body with a light green color was pushed out of the scabbard from the scabbard with two fingers. The wave patterns generated by the ancient forging extended from the hilt to the sword edge. The lights in the room emitted a chill.
"Hiss--" Aoki Yuki took a breath from his teeth.
"Good sword! This sword must be the master's work." Seeing Nishimura Kuroshi next to Aokitsuki, she exclaimed.
Aoki Yuki saw that a sword had been completely pulled out, standing upright under the light, flipping slightly, the sword body reflected light, and a cold light flashed through the hilt of the sword to the tip of the sword.
"Huh?" Aokiharabata, who was sitting on the other side, shouted out in surprise.
"What's wrong? Yuan Fangjun."
"This sword is 'Snow Washing'! How could it be in Yayoi-kun's hands?" Aokihara Kazuya looked at Yayoi Motoka in surprise.
"Is this the famous sword made by the sword craftsman Yokoyama?" Aoki Yuki turned his head and looked at Aoki Haragata and asked.
"Yes, this light green sword body, like ice, is because part of the material of this sword comes from a meteorite that lands on Mount Fuji. Last year, this sword also participated in the autumn auction at the Tokyo Central Auction. At that time, as one of the guests, I went on stage to see this sword. Look, you can see the logo of Master Yokoyama on the hilt."
Seeing that, Aoki Yuki quickly raised the sword high and looked at the hilt. Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous mountain pattern on the hilt of the sword.
"What a good sword!" Aoki Yuki and two first-class teachers took turns to appreciate it carefully. After half an hour, the sword returned to Yuki Yuki's hands. Of course, the younger generation like Aoki Aoki Aoki and others who stood behind could only look with their eyes, and there was no chance to get started.
"This is not just a preservation-level famous sword, but at least it is a treasure-level." Aoki sighed.
"Yaoyukun, ask in a rude way, are you willing to sell this sword? The price is easy to discuss." Aokihara Fang hesitated for a moment and asked.
"This is a gift from an elder, I'm afraid I can't sell it." Yagyu Motoka refused.
"It's so rude. Hara Fang, how could you say such things!" Aoki Yuki scolded his cousin unhappily.
"Owner, I was rude. I just thought that Teacher Masashi was about to celebrate his 70th birthday. I wanted to prepare a birthday gift for him. Sorry, Yanagi Jun." Aokihara Fang lowered his head and apologized.
"Ah, it doesn't matter, but this sword is given by the elders, so I can't transfer it to you." Yagyu Motokazu had no choice but to bow his head and perform the same etiquette.
The party receiving the ceremony also uses the same etiquette as the other party, and in the RB etiquette, it means "You do not owe me, you do not need to perform this etiquette."
"Ah, by the way, Yayoi-kun is not yet eighteen years old. If we want to formally hire Yayoi-kun, we still need Yayoi-kun to take a kendo exam and get at least one kendo level or above. We have already told your father and Shima-kun about this last time.
Before we officially go to the RB Kendo Federation to apply for the exam, Yayoi-kun can first do a simulated test of the rank assessment, and by the way, Yayoi-kun can familiarize himself with the process of the Kendo Rank examination. Our Aoki Pavilion is originally one of the test points for the rank examination. All kinds of equipment are ready-made, which just allows two teachers and our first-class disciples to appreciate Yayoi-kun's sword skills first. Yayoi-kun, do you think it's OK?"
Seeing that he had no doubt about Yayoi Tomokazu's swordsmanship, Aoki Yuki saw that he had no doubt about Yayoi Tomokazu's swordsmanship, but since he was strongly advocating this second-year junior high school student as a first-class guest teacher, he naturally also suffered some internal pressure. Not to mention anything else, for a newly hired teacher of a genre, four teachers should have come forward at the same time today to meet as colleagues to show respect (in the RB kendo school, the teaching is not a coach, but the teaching is the meaning of a genre's passing elder, and the people who teach the basic kendo type in front of him are coaches). However, two of them were the teachers. When they heard that the new colleague was just a second-year junior high school student, they expressed their ruthlessness with various excuses and did not attend today.
So Aoki Yuki hopes that Yagyu Tomoto can show considerable strength in the simulation of the rank test, which can leave some people with nothing to say.
"No problem, Director Aoki, I also want to see what the level exam is going on." Yanagi Motoka agreed immediately.
Several disciples led the way, and everyone came to the open teaching area in front of Aoki Pavilion and walked to a large practice room. This practice room was not used and was now empty.
"Basic type and basic routines, just forget about the written test, and Yagyu-kun can start directly from the slashing seat." Originally, there are many links in the RB kendo assessment, such as the need to conduct a written test (various basic knowledge, such as how to wear protective gear, etc.), the basic kendo examination, Qi fusion (that is, the yelling middle qi must be sufficient), the remnant heart (you can't relax after the attack, and the posture must be in place), and other items. These are all contents of the first and second sections of the kendo, and basically all are routines.
However, since it is an internal test and is for one's own people, it is naturally not as formal as it is for public examinations to people in society. After explaining the examination process to Yagyu Moto-he, he skipped the basic knowledge assessment. The first item was first-class disciples who directly brought four straw mat columns of different thicknesses and stood on a special shelf.
The test item of slashing the slash represents the wrist strength and slashing speed of the swordsman in the RB kendo. This is an examination item passed down from the RB Warring States period when warriors used living people to test swords with savage and bloody habits.
Looking at the four straw mat pillars in front of him, he smiled at Director Aoki, and Yagyu Motoka raised the "Snow Washing" in his hand and signaled.
"This, Yayoi-kun should use the sword we provide here, otherwise with the sharpness of this 'snow wash', this test would be meaningless." Seeing this, Aoki Yuki smiled bitterly, waved his hand and asked someone to take a sword and hand it over to Yayoi Moto-kun.
After taking the sword handed over by Aoki, Yasuo Tomokaro first pulled out the sword and looked at it. Then, his left fingers were put together and gently stroked the blade. When others used this method to test the sword, their fingers were pressed on the side of the blade and gently stroked it. Yasuo Tomokaro directly pressed his two fingers on the blade and gently stroked it.
Director Aoki Yoshimi, who was beside him, was startled at first, and then saw that there were no scars on his fingers, so he looked at Yayoi Moto and with confusion. The sword provided by the Sword Dokan itself was not a good sword, but it was just a mass-produced version of the Samurai sword. However, modern smelting technology and grinding technology were not comparable to before. His fingers passed through the sword edge and did not cut any skin. Aoki Yoshimi could only attribute it to Yayoi Moto and his strong control. His fingers must not have actually contacted the sword edge. And the gap between the fingers and the sword edge was so small that he could not even see that he was standing beside him. Yayoi's sword technique must be stronger than he thought.
