Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

"So, among the extraordinary people, the ones who are most likely to sink are these role-players. Their power comes easily, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Power that is easily gained is most likely to get out of control. They imitate others all day long, and becoming schizophrenic is considered a good end. I have seen countless role-players being devoured by ghosts and gods, and turned into bait for ghosts and gods along with their heroic spirits. Qing, even if you have the opportunity to connect with the heroic spirit in the future, you must not use role-playing unless you have no choice."

Uesugi Kiyoshi responded, and suddenly asked, "Master, what do you think of Akutagawa Ryunosuke?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa touched his chin, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and he shook his head disapprovingly.

"I went to talk to him last night. He's quite cunning and has a lot of ideas. He has the cunning character that runs in the Akutagawa family. But he's still too young."

"You should know that his intention in recruiting you is not pure."

Uesugi Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed it."

"Yesterday at the Metropolitan Police Department, I also put on some disguises. In order to trick him into talking and get more supernatural intelligence, I had some additional conversations with him."

"He takes me very seriously. I think this is abnormal. If the president of the Tokyo Collectibles Association personally recruits me just because of my achievements at Yokota House, then this organization is too cheap."

"Later, Akutagawa Ryunosuke mentioned Master's brilliant achievements, intentionally or unintentionally. Then I realized that he was probably trying to get in touch with Master through me, so I didn't rush to reply him. I wanted to discuss it with Master."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa smiled and said, "That's right, Qing. You don't know that the Collectibles Association is an external organization. Their headquarters is not in Japan. Their Tokyo branch has only been established for a few years and is in a difficult situation."

"I don't know who is behind them, but they must have strong financial support. They are ridiculously generous to their members, and they have used money to recruit a group of mortals with military training to serve them. Their agents are all over Tokyo."

“So, even if the extraordinary organizations supported by the government and the chaebols have been specifically excluding the Collectibles Association, they can still take root in Tokyo and grow their business.”

"Even so, the Collectibles Association has a big flaw - they lack a transcendent with absolutely powerful military power to take charge."

"Most of the extraordinary people in the Collectibles Association are Linkers. The more powerful the Linker, the crazier they are and the more difficult they are to control. Because of this, they don't have any high-level combat power to show off, and they are passive in many things."

Uesugi understood clearly and asked, "So they want to invite Master to take charge?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa shook his head slightly.

"No, that Akutagawa is indeed quite discerning. What they want is the me of today and the you of tomorrow."

"He might have some ulterior motives. I also said something to provoke him. Judging from his reaction, I think it's not the idea of ​​​​driving the wolf to swallow the tiger. He can't eat it!"

"I'm not bragging, but among the swordsmen in Tokyo, there is no one who can definitely defeat me."

"You are also my most proud disciple."

"No need to say more. After ten years, even if I am old, you will have grown up and become a powerful fighter. It will be a good deal to recruit your business."

"The Shinsengumi are also interested in you, Qing. If I hadn't stopped them for you, their lobbyists would have contacted you a long time ago. I thought before that you haven't stepped into the supernatural yet, and it's too early for you to join the supernatural organization, but now it seems that I didn't think it through."

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned. He didn't expect that he would become such a popular commodity. He thought about it and humbly asked his master for his opinion.

"Master, which side do you think I should join?"

If Uesugi Kiyoshi were asked to find someone he could trust in this world, then Kamiizumi Hidekawa would be the first choice. He always took his master's opinions to heart and considered them carefully.

Kamiizumi Hidekawa did not reply immediately, but looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi intently. His eyes became softer and softer, and in the end, they could be described as kind.

His tone was also gentle. He shook his head slowly and reached out to pat Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulder.

"Qing, over the past year, I have seen through your temperament and personality. Among your peers, you deserve the title of excellent."

"You have amazing talent. I wasn't talking nonsense when I praised you. I was also sixteen when I learned the Funeral Blade. I learned it for a week, but my results were about the same as yours in a day."

"I initially regarded you as the best gift God had given me, and as the continuation of my unfinished dream. Sorry, I was a little selfish."

"But over the past year, I have really treated you as my successor. Sometimes I wonder if Junko and I had a son instead of a daughter, maybe he would be as good as you."

Perhaps because he was thinking of his deceased wife, Hidekawa Kamiizumi's eyes were a little red.

"So, as my disciple, I hope you can follow your heart and make free choices in your life."

"I won't force any subjective will on you in this matter. I know your character. If I tell you to join the Shinsengumi, you will probably report with your sword tomorrow without saying anything. Qing, I don't want this."

"I'm old now, and my life is like this. I can't say I have a lot of freedom, but it's going well. I hope you live a better life than me."

"I'll tell you the pros and cons of both sides. You can choose to join one side, or you can learn from me and become a lone ranger. Don't worry, as long as your master is still alive, you won't be wronged in Tokyo!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not an emotional person, but the sincere words of Uesugi Hidekawa really made his nose sore. He straightened his body, sat upright and kowtowed to cover up his gaffe, and said in a serious tone: "You are too kind! I will never forget the kindness of Master's teaching. If Master has an order, I will definitely obey it. This is a matter of course."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa knew Uesugi Kiyoshi's character very well, so he was not surprised to hear him say this. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, I know what you mean. Look at me, when I get old I tend to talk nonsense. Being so sentimental is not the style of our conversation as master and disciple."

"Okay, let me tell you something serious."

"The advantage of the Collectibles Association is that it is in its development stage. If you go there, you will definitely be given an important position. Those idealists are committed to completely eliminating ghosts and gods, and there is no shortage of armed actions against ghosts and gods. This is good for you. What you lack now is only practical experience. Any famous swordsman has fought his way through swords and swords. The way of the sword cannot be learned behind closed doors."

"Also, the system of the Collectibles Association is a contractual system, which has relatively loose restrictions on members. The first contract should only be valid for three years. In other words, if you join the Collectibles Association, you can withdraw after three years, or choose to renew the contract. Generally speaking, it is relatively free."

"As for the disadvantages, although the Collectibles Association is wealthy and generous, it is difficult to find things that can help you improve your strength. There are many collectibles there, but they are basically inherited mirrors and extraordinary tools. Things like [True Sword Seed] and [Name of Yin and Yang] are mostly not available. Sword manuals may also be lacking."

"The Shinsengumi is just the opposite. It's a paradise for swordsmen. If you join the Shinsengumi, within five years, I might not be able to defeat you in kendo. But the Shinsengumi is controlled by the government and the chaebols, and they often have no choice. I don't like it that much."

"Besides that, you can also choose to be a lone ranger like me, but that's too hard. Humans are social animals that gather in groups. The power of an organization is more comprehensive than that of an individual. I have to admit that."

"That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."

Uesugi Qing pondered for a while, nodded, and changed the subject, "I understand, Master, I will consider it carefully."

"You said before that there are two types of Linkers. I already know how to play them, but what about the other type?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa explained: "The other type is called [Inheritor]."

At this point, Kamiizumi Hidekawa held his forehead with his hands, sighing repeatedly, feeling a bit helpless.

"The heirs are completely different from the actors. The heirs do not need to become a Heroic Spirit. They just need to have a sufficient degree of compatibility with the Mirror of Inheritance. However, correspondingly, the heirs will not obtain all the power of the Heroic Spirit. They generally only obtain some special abilities. Compared with the actors, the abilities of the heirs are weaker, but they can also improve the strength of the inherited abilities through their own practice."

"To sum up, the power of a player is acquired quickly, and the upper limit depends on the strength of the hero soul they play. Relatively speaking, the risk of sinking is very high."

"The heirs are more inclined to obtain a seed of power. They need to water and fertilize it diligently to make the seed grow into a towering tree. It is troublesome and the process is long, but the upper limit is high and the risk of sinking is low. They have not lost themselves."

"You probably don't know, Rin is actually the heir."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was shocked, he really didn't know!

Rin Kamiizumi is the only daughter of Hidekawa Kamiizumi, a heartless and silly beautiful girl with superb kendo skills. But Uesugi Kiyoshi never imagined that Rin Kamiizumi is also a superhuman!

"Rin is a transcendent? What abilities did she inherit?"

"Oh, sorry, this should be very confidential information. I am abrupt."

Hidekawa Kamiizumi knocked Uesugi Kiyoshi's head hard, but there was a wry smile on his face.

"What a rude and stupid thing you said."

"But it's a little hard to say."

"That idiot Lin inherited the heroic spirit of his ancestors, but his awakened abilities are a bit disappointing."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa hesitated for a long time, his face turned red, and he stammered, "This idiot's ability is to convert the food he eats into physical strength in a very efficient way."

"Alas, our ancestor was known as the Sword Saint, a master of the sword! But she only learned how to eat! What a misfortune for our family!"

Uesugi Qing was so shocked that his mouth cracked!

No wonder Rin is such a big eater!

No wonder she has such a foul figure!

No wonder a sixteen-year-old girl is stronger than me who has experienced the baptism of the mirage!

Is there such a strange ability in this world?

Kamiizumi Hidekawa didn't want to talk about this any more, so he waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Okay, Qing, there's nothing else to say."

"I will go to Jiuzhou tomorrow. The sooner you awaken your true sword, the more helpful it will be for your future strength improvement. This matter cannot be delayed."

"Be careful in Tokyo. I'll give you two phone numbers. If you have problems you can't solve, just contact them. They are all people who owe me favors, and they have influence in both the black and white worlds. You don't have to be so polite."

"The road to transcendence is bright and beautiful, but it is also full of temptations. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss."

"Qing, you must remember to stick to your original intention."

"Do you remember what I told you when you became my apprentice?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi blurted out the answer without even thinking about it.

"In this world, all living beings, no matter if they are wise or foolish, are valuable treasures. But the sword in my hand will never waver. I will kill anyone who disturbs my heart!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a solemn expression and stood straight as he looked into the eyes of Kamiizumi Hidekawa who was also serious.

The young man's voice echoed in the dojo. The two figures kneeling opposite each other looked like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths.

After thousands of trials and tribulations, one would rather break than yield.

Chapter 49 Miyakawa

The master and disciple acted like a middle school student for a while - the Japanese are a nation of middle school students, and Uesugi Kiyoshi has been almost assimilated. If it were in the past, he would probably be embarrassed to read out such a middle school student declaration.

However, these words do make sense.

Without firm belief, it will be difficult to succeed in anything, not just kendo.

Then, Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up and prepared to say goodbye, as he had a lot of things to do today.

"Master, now that Yokotano is gone, Kyoko has no guardian. Will there be any trouble?"

"Also, Master, I want to take Xingzi to Yokota's house to get something. The place should be sealed by the police. Is it possible?"

Before Uesugi Kiyoshi finished speaking, Kamiizumi Hidekawa waved his hand indifferently.

"These are all small matters. Just go ahead. I'll make a phone call and arrange it. No one will make things difficult for you."

As he spoke, Kamiizumi Hidekawa stood up and went into the inner room. When he came out a while later, there was a small note in his hand.

“If you get into trouble with the underworld, call the higher-ups. If you get into trouble with the government, call the lower-ups.”

"No need to be polite with them, just tell them my name and tell them what's going on. These two old guys owe me a huge favor, so feel free to order them around."

After stuffing the small note into Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand, Kamiizumi Hidekawa sat down cross-legged, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, go get busy."

"I'll ask you to take care of Rin during this time. Protect yourself. The path to transcendence is not as simple as you think."

"And don't neglect your sword practice! Go ahead."

After saying that, Kamiizumi Hidekawa held his samurai sword, closed his eyes slightly, and fell into meditation again.

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not disturb his master. He just bowed and took the confused Nohara Anko's hand and said goodbye quietly. Nohara Anko had been confused from the beginning. She was too shy at first and did not pay attention to what Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kamiizumi Hidekawa were talking about. When she came to her senses, she could no longer understand what they were saying.
