Chapter 23: There is a penalty for losing
"What if I can't defeat him?"
Jude Mai then asked.
Prudence is also a virtue that a qualified ninja should possess.
The opponent's bloodline seems to be quite powerful, and the mixed-race's words are fancy. If a high-sequence word spirit comes, there is a possibility of a catastrophe.
"If you can't beat me, I'll arrange a good place for you in Africa."
Seeing the boss sitting opposite him chewing his treasured potato chips and no longer looking at him, Potato Chips revealed a rampant smile.
"You are cruel enough!"
Jiude Mai unilaterally terminated the communication angrily and walked downstairs.
If she goes back, she will make sure to beat up those two lumps in front and behind the potato chips.
"Hey, Jiu Desang, this way."
The curator waved to Jiude Mai, then guided her to sit down in front of Lu Tianming and his group.
"This is Lu Tianming, Director Lu, the investor of the Kendo Hall."
"This is Shutoku Sagi, one of the best swordsmen in modern Japan."
The curator carefully refilled the tea for them, nodding and bowing with the look of helplessness of a middle-aged man.
"Hello, I welcome Miss Jiude Lushi for traveling across the ocean to the company's kendo gym."
Lu Tianming nodded in greeting.
"Hello, it is my honor to receive the invitation from your company."
Jiude Mai immediately returned the gift.
As a graduate of the Department of Music at the University of Tokyo, Mai Shude has very good manners.
"That's right, Miss Jiude Lu."
Straight to the point, Lu Tianming raised his hand to signal Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei, who were sitting behind him and watching a group of young people studying kendo hard.
"My child has recently shown great interest in kendo, and with the arrival of Miss Jiude Lushi, I hope to hire you to teach him a little."
"of course can."
Facing the curator's pleading gaze, Jude Mai agreed without hesitation.
"But, can you let me examine the foundation of the two young gentlemen first, and then I will start to formulate the curriculum."
"And, you know, my career doesn't allow me to stay here for a long time, so the course may not be too long."
"no problem."
Lu Tianming agreed to the reasonable request.
Out of concern for Chu Zihang, Lu Tianming would naturally give his adopted son the best conditions. It would be great to have a sword master to provide introductory education.
However, the practice of kendo requires daily accumulation, and whether Chu Zihang can persist in it depends on himself.
"That's good."
His eyes swept across the two young men and stayed on Lu Mingfei's face for a moment, and Jiude Mai stood up first.
"Please come with me."
However, Jiude Mai did not finish her words.
A qualified martial arts school with practical combat capabilities usually has elements such as footwork, breathing, and force techniques.
In order to support the practical application of these elements, excellent physique and muscle memory formed by long-term training are indispensable.
But if you are a mixed-blood, you can completely skip the basic accumulation stage and directly practice the swordsmanship style.
No matter how much an ordinary person exercises his body, it is still not as good as an ordinary otaku after his dragon bloodline awakens.
Mixed-races are the absolute elites in the human group. They are not limited to one aspect, but are leaders in all aspects. Throughout history, countless people who have left behind major inventions and promoted the progress of human society are rarely not mixed-race.
In a sense, except for being able to intermarry with normal people, mixed-bloods can no longer be classified as ordinary people. They are aliens in this world, and even their thinking is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
To be honest, Mai Shutoku was not a professional, but after receiving this task, she studied the Hayashizaki Shinden Mugen-ryu in order to become a master of sword-drawing techniques. In order to make her movements closer to those of a qualified trained samurai rather than a ninja, she also mastered the Kagami Shinden Akechi-ryu, which focuses on beauty and pace.
In just five days, she used her foundation to complete the transformation from a ninja to a swordsman.
In terms of swordsmanship, she can indeed be called a sword saint in front of ordinary people.
Everyone followed Mai Jude to a large dojo inside the kendo hall. She gathered her long hair that fell to her hips, then took out a wooden sword and stood there with the sword in her hand.
"You first or me first?"
A thin sound barrier enveloped the two of them, and Lu Mingfei asked.
"I'll go first."
After all, he was here to teach me, so Chu Zihang planned to verify the results of his training during this period first.
"Be careful, the other side also has awakened the dragon blood——"
Lu Mingfei reminded.
There's nothing shameful in losing. Chu Zihang was still a good student a week ago.
"Ah."
Chu Zihang took a step forward.
"Wait, Lu-san."
The gym director quickly stopped Chu Zihang and pointed to the men's locker room on the other side of the gym.
"Go this way first and change your clothes."
"The kendo uniforms we prepare are all numbered and will only be provided to individuals in brand new condition. They will be disinfected and cleaned every day. If you are concerned, you can take them home and clean them yourself."
The curator explained as he handed a set of fine clothing to Chu Zihang.
"I understand."
Chu Zihang nodded and walked into the locker room with his clothes.
After Chu Zihang changed into his kendo uniform and came into the hall wearing white socks, the curator signaled the waiter who had been guarding there to press the switch on the pillar next to him.
A thick, transparent tempered glass protruded from the crack in the wall.
"This is to prevent the flying of sawdust generated during sparring. The glass is soundproof and can also facilitate individual teaching by teachers."
The curator explained to the leader: "Every compartment has such glass installed, and the surrounding venues will also be equipped with it later."
At this time, Jude Mai had already started her own test.
She simply swung her sword slowly and let Chu Zihang block, wanting to test the physical fitness of this handsome young man.
"Ok?"
The two wooden swords collided, but instead of flying away as expected, they were stuck in mid-air. Jiude Mai raised her eyebrows.
This handsome boy is no ordinary person.
How could an ordinary minor withstand the sword being drawn by himself without letting it drop?
Chu Zihang obviously had never used a sword before, and the way he held the sword was more like holding a kitchen knife, which was not a standard posture.
In other words, I didn’t learn it formally before.
However, the opponent's basic skills seemed to be pretty good, and his lower body was very stable. Even wearing cotton socks with insufficient grip, he was able to stand firmly in place.
Jiude Mai retracted the sword, held the hilt with both hands, placed the sword body on the midline of the body, and pointed the tip of the sword at Chu Zihang's face, assuming a standard defensive posture.
Chu Zihang followed suit.
Children can be taught.
Nodding with satisfaction, observing Chu Zihang's weaknesses and gaps, Jiude Mai deliberately paid attention to these omissions and began to chop straight back and forth.
