You say this is a love game?

Although the sword in Mizutani Makoto's hand was not a katana, he also intentionally maintained the steps of kendo training.

This is part of the Ertian Yiliu practice.

In fact, it is the same when applied to any style of kendo.

Kendo practice does not mean that you can just practice a few movements every day and then stop. Instead, you need to integrate your posture, breathing, footwork, and techniques into your daily life. This point is emphasized in the "Water Volume" of "The Book of Five Rings".

It's like the "Hah!" he shouts when he strikes, which is to coordinate with his breathing, and also to create effective interference or intimidation.

While preparing to strike, shout "Hah!" loudly. When striking, also shout "Hah!" loudly. This opportunity to shout will appear again and again during the exchange of offense and defense, and the key to shouting is that the action of raising the sword and striking must be performed at the same time.

He is learning and practicing in the hope that one day he will become a master of kendo.

“Our future is bright!”

Mizutani Makoto strode forward.

Thanks to the changes in attribute values, Mizutani Makoto's progress in advancing the map this time was particularly smooth.

He held a kitchen knife in his hand, and Miss JK, who had bothered him for a long time, was now little Karami, chopped to death by him with a few knives.

The advantage of full strength is that you can kill enemies with your super strength.

Swordsmanship is actually a killing technique.

Before reaching various advanced levels, the beginner's physical fitness has the greatest impact on the efficiency of killing.

As the saying goes, if one blow doesn't kill, try another.

Now, Mizutani Makoto has been able to completely suppress Miss JK in terms of strength - Miss JK's lower body is stronger than a healthy adult male, but not as strong as his [Strength: 6] plus the numerical correction of spiritual power. His strength and skills have caught up, so his efficiency in killing monsters has naturally increased.

At the same time, his spiritual power reached 5, and the number of uses of the item "Eyeballs of the Woman by the Window" also soared to 15, which made him very happy.

He came back from a bond mission and upgraded his equipment to a powerful one. Even if he was surrounded by multiple JK ladies, he could handle it easily. He quickly knocked down more than ten JK ladies in the courtyard and got a pair of [Girl's White Stockings] on the way, which matched the black stockings in his backpack.

No pressure.

Easy!

The surge in spiritual power also allowed him to try out a new rule for using props, that is, the eyeball's great spying technique, which has a limit on the upper limit of the target it can be used on.

Only up to two targets can be put into a state of fear at the same time. If there are more people, there will not be enough eyeballs.

"continue!"

While cleaning up Miss JK, he also found a new prop under the roots of a tree somewhere in the courtyard.

[Fragments of the Courtyard Diary]

[Description: I heard the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard existed before the school was built. Is that true? It's such a huge tree...]

There is no "evaluation" part, it is just a simple description. It looks like a diary written by a student.

This is not equipment, nor is it a consumable item, but when he obtained this diary fragment, his map exploration increased by 1%.

“…Has this entered the stage of fragmented narrative?”

Mizutani Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly.

As for the narrative of soul wandering, those who understand it will understand that it just likes to be a riddler.

Some seemingly unrelated things eventually become clues to the plot.

Mizutani Makoto put away the remaining pages of his diary, turned around and looked at the lush cherry trees. The cherry tree alone occupied a considerable portion of the view in the courtyard.

Since the remaining pages of the diary mentioned the cherry tree, Mizutani Makoto returned to the vicinity of the torii and explored around the cherry tree.

But no further clues were found.

Mizutani Makoto's palm fell on the bark of the cherry tree, feeling the rough texture.

The only unusual thing was that the bark emitted a faint heat, like a dying charcoal fire.

This tree is actually warm?

Mizutani Makoto lowered his head to observe the roots of the cherry tree, and then he realized something belatedly.

This tree was a witness to the fire. There were many burn marks on its roots, and even the bark had faint traces of burns. It was natural for it to be hot.

Of course, based on his experience with ghost travel, there was probably something fishy going on in this place.

But at this stage he has no idea...

Mizutani Makoto patted the trunk of the cherry tree. The treetops were strangely quiet under the blood moon. He pondered for a moment under the tree, and finally, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

My friend, you know this too.

When people are more tolerant of mistakes, they tend to like to recklessly do things.

Especially the blood of the Uchiha clan, it is easy to laugh wildly "Ahahahaha!", the sky clears and the rain stops, and after a slight level increase, it is impossible to tell the difference between the big and small kings.

Mizutani Makoto boasts that he inherited the excellent genes of the Uchiha clan. It’s not too much for him to be a little boastful, right?

The main thing is that I have six lives today and after midnight. How long can I keep being so timid?

And he was a little bloated too.

Mizutani Makoto looked at the teaching building and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let me try its depth!"

A strange story of inherent evil, I will personally kill you——

Ending: [This time, be careful not to be arrogant or impatient! ]

Okay, I'm calm.

Makoto Mizutani stood up from under the cherry tree, and after three seconds of fighting, he was a brave man again.

He learned his lesson this time. After the mannequin took out his kidney, he immediately cut his neck with a kitchen knife to avoid being tortured by it again.

"But I have the ability to resist."

His spiritual power increased by 4 points at once, which was equivalent to adding 4 points of correction to his strength, physical fitness and agility. Mizutani Makoto found that he could actually fight a few moves with the human body model.

At the same time, he also figured out the action logic of the human body model. After that thing took the initiative to attack, it would abandon its disguise as a wooden man and bite like a mad dog. At this time, he would enter the hand-to-hand combat stage.

And in this battle, the eyes of the woman by the window worked wonders.

The human body model is still within the scope of "paper", but it is much stronger than Ksitigarbha and Miss JK.

Every time the eyeballs are activated, the human model will be forcibly frozen for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, he could not cause any harm to the human body model, and he would reassemble it every time he chopped it into pieces. However, during the period when he was shocked by fear, he could actually hurt the human head model by chopping it with his knife.

He speculated that under normal circumstances, the human body model should have a "Golden Bell Cover" skill, and once its spiritual power was disrupted, the Golden Bell Cover would collapse on its own.

However, he still couldn't beat the human model.

"No matter what, we still lack the right weapons!"

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the kitchen knife in his hand, shook his head and sighed.

Thinking this way might be unfair to his brother, the kitchen knife.

However, this kitchen knife could no longer keep up with his progress.

With only two lives left, Mizutani Makoto had an idea and started collecting souls.

At the same time, relying on his high luck value, he got several pieces of Miss JK's equipment, shoes, even skirts, and underwear with a slightly girlish feel.

"..."

silence.

Makoto Mizutani looked at the blue and white stripes unfolding in his hand with a slightly complicated expression.

What are you thinking?

Miss JK smells a bit like a corpse, you bastard!

And how to increase the attack speed with the full set?

Mizutani Makoto finally understood that Miss JK was a professional in agility and attack speed. If the lower body suit was complete, it could also provide him with an agility +1 correction.

But do you mean to let him wear a JK lady's skirt, underwear, stockings, and a pair of loafers?

roll!

The only purpose of these equipment is to satisfy the hobbies of the illustrated collection party.

Mizutani Makoto packed his backpack and crushed all the [weak souls] he had collected. The number of souls soared to 669 points, so he decided to go to Kurosawa Ryojin for advice.

500 souls, take it!

"I'm currently lacking a suitable weapon, so I'd like to hear any intelligence you have."

"For example, is there an old blacksmith in this crevice who enjoys forging iron?"

"blacksmith?"

Kurosawa Ryojin shook his head. "No, there have only been two strangers in this place. One died, and the other..."

Having said this, Kurosawa Ryohito suddenly got stuck. He seemed unwilling to say anything more and hurriedly skipped over it.

"In short, there really aren't that many talented people in the cracks."

"But brother, your weapon is a katana, right? If it's a katana, I have a good suggestion."

"You can go to the Kendo Club and have a look."

Chapter 58 I order you to fight me quickly!

In the direction of the gymnasium, there is a kendo club at the private Hiiragiyama Academy.

Previously, Mizutani Makoto was beaten up by a gym student and gave up exploring this "high-end area". Now that he has obtained information from Kurosawa Ryohito, he has a better understanding of the area near the gymnasium.

Kendo Club.

When it comes to Kendo Club, the public may think of it as a product of modernization, but in fact, during the Taisho period, due to the special social background, Japan had already included "Kendo" in the compulsory curriculum.

In 1911, during the Meiji period, kendo became a compulsory subject in middle schools. In 1918, during the Taisho period, this policy was continued. Kendo was given the meaning of "cultivating the national spirit" and became a compulsory martial arts course for boys. Schools across Japan generally use kendo to strengthen students' physical fitness.

Moreover, under the special social background at that time, this kind of kendo training was semi-compulsory.

The school will purchase wooden swords and hold group training 2 to 3 times a week. There will even be a "martial arts tournament" that appears in anime for students to participate in.

The private Hiiragigaoka Academy certainly has a kendo club, and if you look through the school history, you can still find group photos of students holding wooden swords.

"Huh, damn militarism..."

Mizutani Makoto bit his fingertips, his expression uncertain.

According to the information provided by Kurosawa Ryojin, there are several venues for club activities behind the gymnasium, such as the kendo club's dojo and the swimming club's swimming pool, and the katana weapon he wants can be obtained in the kendo club's dojo.

How to get it?

Of course, it is to kill monsters.

500 souls were exchanged for more detailed information: there were many kendo apprentices in the dojo, as well as a kendo master hiding on the top floor. Their weapons were katana, large sword, and small sword of various schools, all of which could be dropped.

Among them, the kendo apprentice is much stronger than the wandering Miss JK.

It is worth mentioning that according to Kurosawa Ryohito, the official scientific name of Miss JK is "TekeTeke", which means "TekeTeke".

TekeTeke is a Japanese urban legend.

The story follows a schoolgirl who falls onto a railway line and has her body cut in half by a subway train, seeking revenge on the living.

The creature is typically depicted as a schoolgirl with only the upper body remaining, crawling around with the lower half of her body missing. When it moves with its hands or elbows, it makes scratching or "TekeTeke"-like sounds. If it encounters a human, it chases them and cuts their torso in half, killing them in a way that mimics its own death.

Mizutani Makoto thought of the multi-person team of Miss JK. Occasionally, they would meet a "leader" with an upper body. That thing should be the real source of Miss JK, and the lower body of Miss JK is a mutated form extended from the related legend - a little weaker, and even the killing skills are not quite in line with the legend. They can only kick the head or strangle people to death.

Kurosawa Ryojin's suggestion was that if he had the ability to clean up those kendo apprentices, he could go to the dojo to get equipment.

...have to go!

Mizutani Makoto figured it out.

The main thing is that Brother Caidao can no longer keep up with him.

The more powerful the enemy is, the more one can feel the frustration and restraint brought by the kitchen knife. The kitchen knife is a weapon with short length, uneven weight, and weird center of gravity. It was not created to be used as a killing weapon, let alone to practice swordsmanship.

Even the techniques used for single swords are very difficult to use on kitchen knives, and can be said to be performed randomly.

He desperately needs a real katana!
