You say this is a love game?

"That's good." Yajima Mai actually believed it. Such a heavy trust made Miss Yamada feel complicated.

"I still don't understand why you like him so much. What is it about him that fascinates you..."

"Hmm... he's so hardworking?" Yajima Mai said uncertainly.

"What a lame excuse!" Miss Yamada gave him a look of contempt.

"That's because he's so gentle and considerate... Just think about it, he'd lend a hand when he saw a child at the convenience store, and he immediately bought me a drink in return yesterday..."

Mai Yajima looked serious.

"What's so considerate about that? He's already rejected you, yet you're still speaking well of him..." Miss Yamada didn't accept this explanation.

Vulgar! So vulgar!

Miss Yamada folded her arms across her chest and sneered, "What are your real thoughts? Tell me now!"

Yajima Mai took a half step back, clutching her chest, and quickly surrendered to Ms. Yamada's pressure: "...Well, he's very handsome, just like the tip of my heart. Besides, I don't know why, but I feel very happy when I see him."

"Nympho." Miss Yamada couldn't help but sigh.

But who isn’t a fangirl?

She shook her head and just changed the subject: "By the way, Mai, didn't you ask me to find that girl named 'Fujii Sa'? I found her, and she is indeed a new student in our school."

Yajima Mai's fingers curling the ends of her hair paused for a moment, and she said excitedly, "Huh? Really? Then you've been a real help, Senior!"

"Have I not asked you yet, what is your relationship with her?"

"We're friends, we've been playing together since junior high school..." Yajima Mai put her finger on her chin and thought for a while before answering, "Good friends."

"After I was promoted to Yami High School, I went to her, but she didn't tell me where she went... I heard that she was at your school, so I asked you to help look for her, and I actually found her."

The box of weapons is not good, but since we are friends...

Ms. Yamada nodded and asked enthusiastically, "Do you need me to help you contact her?"

"No need, Senior, just tell me her address. I want to give her a surprise in person."

……

……

Breathe in and out.

In the small space of the apartment, Mizutani Makoto was holding a newly bought wooden sword for practice, and according to the knowledge that emerged in his mind, he was practicing kendo for the first time in his life.

When you inhale, your lower abdomen expands, your center of gravity sinks, and your qi sinks into your dantian.

Exhale with a "hiss" sound to coordinate with the slashing blow.

This is a breathing method, which can also be called a breathing method. It is a common technique of Yagyu Shinkage-ryu and Niten-ryu.

Breathing techniques are crucial in combat. In addition to effectively improving the body's coordination, they can also avoid stiff movements caused by holding the breath, better conserve energy, and prolong combat endurance.

Mizutani Makoto practices dual-sword martial arts, but surprisingly, he currently only has a wooden katana in his hand. He holds the hilt with both hands and is actually practicing single-sword slashing.

First of all, one thing needs to be made clear.

Kendo is divided into single sword and double sword, but the prerequisite for every double sword style is to first learn the basic kendo.

The single sword is the foundation of swordsmanship.

According to the regulations of the Japan Kendo Federation, those without a foundation in wooden swords are prohibited from practicing double swords directly. They must start with Suzhen, which means "empty swing", which shows its importance.

In the narrow apartment room, all irrelevant items were pushed into the corner. It was impossible to set up a training ground in such a small room of only ten square meters. Mizutani Makoto just bought a straw mat and rolled it up in front, and used a cheap wooden sword for practice to barely make room for training.

When it comes to cooking, just practice more.

Mizutani Makoto's Niten Ichiryu is still at the entry-level stage. Although his brain and hands can coordinate the postures, actually applying it in actual combat is another matter.

Miss JK can testify to this.

In all three battles, Mizutani Makoto subconsciously fought with Niten Ichiryu.

He knows kendo, Miss JK relies on brute force, so kendo is his area of ​​strength!

Imagination is always full of beauty, which makes people shout that the advantage is mine!

But every time, as long as the battle became intense, he would be dragged into the unlimited fighting session by Miss JK with her rich experience. In the end, he would forget the Niten Ichiryu in his mind and be crushed to death by Miss JK.

After all, he had never been exposed to kendo before, and it was thanks to Tongzi's enlightenment that he was able to master Niten Ichiryu with his brain and hands.

The shortcomings of this sudden enlightenment are obvious. He has no "feel" at all, his basic skills are seriously insufficient, and he is full of flaws during the battle.

You still have to practice seriously.

For sword players, the feel is very important.

Clang!

He swung his long sword diagonally to parry the imaginary enemy's blow, imagining the blade's spine sparking. His right wrist swung outward, the blade's edge slicing along the nonexistent wrist.

Mizutani Makoto twisted his waist suddenly, and the tip of the knife darted towards the heart of the imaginary enemy like a poisonous snake, but in reality it fell on the upper part of the straw roll.

He wiped the sweat that had stuck to his eyelashes, took a half step back, assumed a middle stance, and repeated the exercise.

In Niten Ichiryu, single-sword slashing training lists three principles of slashing.

Cut, flick, and stab!

Cut down, cut vertically from top to bottom, with the blade straight.

Flick, slash diagonally, and then block.

Stab, with the tip of the knife stabbing straight towards the throat or heart.

Single-sword training is basic skill, and the training method is simple and clear. It is nothing more than swinging the sword at the straw roll.

However, the methods of slashing are different, and the requirements are also different. For example, the thrust he is performing requires that the sword stop at the "Zanshin" position after each slash, that is, the tip of the sword points to the opponent's throat.

The wind from the knife scattered the moonlight, and grass debris mixed with sweat splashed into the air.

When the 300th strike ended, Xinyue had already climbed to the roof of the apartment building.

……readily!

Mizutani Makoto put away his wooden sword and felt sore all over, so he lay down on the floor in a spread-eagle position.

This is really terrible.

Swinging a sword is not as simple as most people think. This kind of serious chopping is particularly physically demanding. For example, a novice who has never been exposed to kendo will have to stop after swinging a few dozen times.

Mizutani Makoto's physical fitness was barely acceptable, but he knew a lot in his head and knew how to exert force more appropriately, which was why he was able to swing 300 times, even taking breaks in between.

Have you ever heard the groaning of muscles?

[Kendo Niten Ichiryu]: 24/500 (Beginner)

This progress is okay.

It was late at night, and Mizutani Makoto looked at the progress of the materialization and suddenly felt full of energy.

It takes four hours to practice this sword.

If you practice for four hours every day, you can fill up the progress bar in about twenty days at this pace.

Sure enough, women only affect the speed at which I lift weights.

Chapter 017 The Dwarf Monk's First Blood

Mizutani Makoto opened his eyes in front of the torii gate and immediately clenched his fists.

Unfortunately, my right hand was empty.

"Only things that can fit into the system backpack can be brought in."

Mizutani Makoto held a kitchen knife in his left hand, but the wooden sword in his right hand was nowhere to be seen.

He just tried it, and even if he held the wooden sword before entering the map, the wooden sword would not follow him.

"This is a crappy game! It's got a bug!"

Since the wooden sword couldn't get in, why could his clothes and pants get in?

Can we say that his underpants are also extraordinary items?

Despite his resentment, Mizutani Makoto discovered that after he entered the map, his physical fatigue was refreshed on the spot, which was very similar to his previous death and rebirth.

Mizutani Makoto threw the kitchen knife in his left hand to his right hand and continued to use it as his main weapon.

[Mizutani family kitchen knife]

[Description: A seemingly ordinary kitchen knife. Thanks to its owner's recent maintenance, it has become exceptionally cheerful, its sharpness slightly improved, and the flavor of its cooking has been slightly enhanced.]

[Comment: Very good at coaxing the kitchen knife, making me spin for two days.]

He fulfilled the promise he made to Brother Caidao last night, and now it was Brother Caidao's turn to take him off.

But a tiny improvement...

A little better than weak, on the same level as his amulet.

I guess it's just like the amulet he bought for 1200 yen. You can't expect it to play any decisive role.

Mizutani Makoto looked around the courtyard, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this place was like a netherworld filter covered by a layer of gray fog, and danger seemed to be lurking in every corner.

But his mission today is to explore the map.

Makoto Mizutani looked at the corner where he had died three times before. After thinking hard, he decided that he could not fight to the death with Miss JK.

It's simply that he can't beat him, what else do you want him to do?

It hurts, it hurts too much.

After studying the school history today, Mizutani Makoto also had a general idea of ​​the map of the private Hiiragigaoka Academy. The courtyard where he was now was the center of the school. To the left was the gymnasium and artificial lake. To the back was the square, school road, and school gate area. To the right was the playground and school buildings.

This left-right layout is basically the opposite of Yami High School, but Yami High School has several new buildings, such as the club building, which the private Hiiragigaoka Academy does not have.

Which way to go next?

It's definitely not the stairs.

Makoto Mizutani was deeply impressed by the strange story of the "Thirteenth Staircase". If things were not as expected, this teaching building must be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. Who would dare to enter at this stage?

As for going somewhere else, it doesn’t matter.

Mizutani Makoto chose a direction, which was the cafeteria on the right. Thinking that there might be some Soul Five snacks in the cafeteria, he immediately walked towards the cafeteria with his head held high and big strides.

But the next moment, a glance lasted for a thousand years.

At the cafeteria entrance, a group of three JK ladies walked by with their lower bodies wandering around, and bumped head-on into Mizutani Makoto who was walking towards that place. They looked at each other in silence.

Miss JK, which eye are you looking with? Your butt eye?

Mizutani Makoto retreated, then ran back. He ran and they chased him. He felt like he couldn't escape even if he had wings!

As he hurriedly retreated, he glanced back and found that the monsters in the cafeteria had piled up to the point that made his scalp tingle.

This is the only thing that doesn't have to be so similar to reality! Do you guys not even attend classes and spend the whole day hiding in the cafeteria eating snacks?!

Being chased by three JK ladies, Mizutani Makoto was complaining bitterly and could only run for his life. He could not get rid of the agile JK ladies in a straight line, so he hoped that the stairs could stop these monsters, so he climbed up the stairs directly.

Unexpectedly, Miss JK ran even faster!

Just like a spider, he jumped over the wall and climbed up!

Seeing that the JK ladies' lower bodies were about to come out, Mizutani Makoto immediately rushed to the classroom door, which was the back door.

Mizutani Makoto grabbed the door handle, but a pop-up window popped up in front of him, leaving him speechless.

【The door cannot be opened from this side.】

The crack in the door was forcibly pulled open, revealing a hand oozing with blood. It was the hand that was pulling at the back door of the classroom tightly.

"I hope that your anus won't be able to open from this side when you go to the toilet!"

Makoto Mizutani turned around, picked up a kitchen knife, and glared fiercely at Miss JK who was climbing up the stairs.

"I can only die in battle! I can't be killed by a surprise attack like a coward!"

"Whee!"

"Giggle!"
