I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma and Jinguji had lunch together, sold books, and then returned to the dojo before the evening rush hour with a bag of books on his back.

Since Jinguji brought a small bag, both of their textbooks were stuffed into Kazuma's big bag.

Fortunately, Kazuma is strong and can carry a bunch of books like a normal person.

Only Chiyoko was doing basic exercises in the dojo.

Kazuma asked doubtfully: Where are the others?

I don't know. Hinami is probably busy with the student union since the beginning of the school year. After all, he has to approve club budgets and so on. The other two may have been dragged to a social gathering by the seniors of the school. After all, they are all super beauties.

Kazuma was about to reply when he heard the sound of a car horn outside the main entrance.

Then He Ma listened intently for a second, but there was no sound of footsteps.

It's Nanjo.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanjo appeared in the courtyard. He took off his shoes on the edge of the temple with ease, then stepped on the edge with his bare feet and entered the dojo.

She looked at everyone in the dojo in confusion: Why are you looking at me?

Chiyoko just said that you will be dragged into social gatherings by the seniors. Kazuma said directly.

Chiyoko poked Kazuma's side with her hand.

Nanjo smiled: It is true that many seniors invited me to join the party, but I politely declined. One senior was more difficult to deal with and actually reached out to grab my shoulder, so I threw him out.

Kazuma: Thrown it out?

Yeah, just use the over-the-shoulder throw taught by Grandpa Suzuki, the one we learned together.

Kazuma didn't know how to evaluate it for a while. He had already formed an imagination in his mind: Huangmao senior came to pick up Nanjo's shoulder for some reason, and then he was thrown over the shoulder and flew away...

Nanjo continued: Then some seniors recognized me and I was the apprentice of 'that Kiryu'. Then no seniors came to talk to me or invite me to socialize, and the seniors all started to look at me strangely. .”

Kazuma: Weird look?

Nanjo: Let me show you.

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and then showed Kazuma a demonstration.

He Ma put his hand on his forehead: Damn it, Weekly Fang Chun, just because of these guys, my reputation is known to everyone from Ireland to Khitan.

After hearing Kazuma's words, Jinguji burst out laughing: You're pretty good at making use of the exam review content.

Kazuma continued to look at Nanjo: So on the first day you entered school, you threw out the senior who was rude to you, and disclosed your identity as the apprentice of 'that Kiryu', so that you would not be bullied later. ?

Although Kazuma felt that Nanjo, who had Haiyan's entry, could easily deal with bullying, he was still a little worried.

You don't have to worry, Chiyoko said, I'm familiar with bullying because I've encountered it before. To put it bluntly, dealing with bullying is a test of social skills. Sister Nanjo's strong social skills are basically Don't worry.

Kazuma glanced at Chiyoko. Through his master's memory, he knew that Chiyoko encountered bullying when she first entered junior high school, but it seemed that she had successfully passed that stage.

At this time, Kazuma remembered that Chiyoko went to high school for the first time today, so he asked: What about you? Have you made any new friends in the class?

I don't have any new friends, but many of my junior high school classmates have gone straight to Koshikawa Girls, so I'm in the same class as many of my old friends, so you don't have to worry about me, brother.

Kazuma nodded, then turned his eyes to Nanjo.

Nanjo continued the topic just now: You don't have to worry about me. There are a few seniors who take good care of me. However, I invited them to come to Kiryu Dojo to learn kendo together, but they declined.

Kazuma: Did you really invite me?

Chiyoko: Brother, you didn't invite me?

Kazuma: I...

After we paid the tuition, our savings have bottomed out again! The financial crisis is very serious, okay! Amao knew about this and started secretly stuffing money into the drawer where I keep my cash! Are you a good master?

Kazuma: Amao? Have you returned the money to him?

Of course I'll pay him back. I also gave him a good scolding! Now I'm going to give you a good scolding! Brother, you either go out to be a musician and sell songs, or you recruit more students. You choose Just one!

Nanjo: I will also work hard to attract students.

After speaking, she looked embarrassed again: But... I feel like everyone has strange misunderstandings about our dojo.

Kazuma immediately had the urge to promote Weekly Fangchun Magazine.

At this time, the sound of sudden braking was heard outside the house.

Kazuma understood as soon as he heard the news: Mikako is back too.

Chiyoko: I thought Mikako-san would be dragged away by the seniors.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikako appeared from the yard with the sound of footsteps.

She stood next to Yuan Zi, kicked off one shoe, stepped on Yuan Zi with her bare feet, and then took off the other shoe with her hands.

Kazuma, she looked up and said to Kazuma while slipping on her shoes, the university is so big!

Kazuma and others:…

After taking off her shoes, Mikako ran into the dojo: Many seniors wanted to drag me to participate in the freshmen party. I said I had a boyfriend, so I ran away.

Chiyoko said with some worry: Senior Mikako, won't this lead to isolation and alienation?

It doesn't matter. Anyway, I only spend time with my classmates in college when I'm in class.

Mikako said nonchalantly, then got directly into the kotatsu and reached for the snacks on the plate on the table.

Chiyoko looked at Kazuma and the others and asked, Is this what college is like? I thought you would share some unique experiences when you come back. Now it seems that it is no different from high school enrollment.

Kazuma: We met a short melon-senpai with a super cute voice. Is this a unique experience?

Nanjo and Mikako looked up at Kazuma.

Kazuma felt the warning in the girls' eyes and said quickly: She won't come to our dojo, she just took us to visit the Tokyo University campus.

Jinguji added: And invited us to join the New Kaidan Research Association.

Nanjo and Mikako looked at each other, and then Mikako asked: Kazuma, are you going to join that seminar? If you participate in club activities, you will have less time in the dojo. Who will teach the students?

Chiyoko said: When my brother is away, I will be the teacher. Nanjo-san and Mikako-san can also teach.

Mikako: Then if you are a male student, you won't be able to correct your movements at all! It will really turn into a women's dojo.

Kazuma almost laughed, but still tried to remain serious.

Chiyoko glanced at Kazuma and said in a joking tone: Then let's just change to naginata training. Anyway, my brother always uses the moves of Beichen Itto-ryu or Shinto-ryu, and the moves of Natural Rishin-ryu. I doubt it. I’ve forgotten all about it. Besides, he didn’t get a license from Natural Rishin-ryu in the first place, so he couldn’t open a dojo to teach in the first place.”

Kazuma shrugged.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Hinami would definitely not ring the doorbell when she arrived. She would definitely come in directly from the courtyard like everyone else.

Kazuma stood up and walked towards the yard - open the door directly, if it is an enemy, he might be plotted, go around from the side, at least the view will be wider, and the advance and retreat will be well-founded.

After walking around to the side, Kazuma discovered that those who came were actually the group of people from the Pioneer Image Research Society of Osaka University of the Arts.

Kazuma: Hey, why are you here?

Okada Koji, who was the first to ring the doorbell, turned around, saw Kazuma, and waved enthusiastically: We graduated and moved to Tokyo immediately!

Kazuma then remembered that March was not only the high school graduation season, but also the college graduation season. He had not adapted to Japan's three-semester system before, and subconsciously thought that these people said they would start a company after graduation in June.

You have moved to Tokyo? Has the new company received investment? Although Kazuma had already read the script, he still pretended not to know anything and asked in surprise.

Yes! We have invested a lot of money to make a super awesome animation!

Anno Akito said enthusiastically.

Kazuma is also very happy, thinking that Wang Li's space army is coming, and the most popular but not popular, super boring but super awesome science fiction animation in the history of Japanese animation is coming!

Just because this animation was too costly, the people in front of them had to continue making movies to pay off their debts, and this is how they produced the subsequent series of classic works.

Mystery of the Sapphire, To the Top, and Neon Genesis Evangelion were all made to pay off debts.

As an anime fan, Kazuma is a little excited at this moment.

Then Anno Akito said: Our next film has been decided, and we will make a modern sword and halberd film! In an era when firearms are widespread, the story of the last samurai fighting against the tide of the times!

Kazuma was stunned: What?

It is the story of a samurai who uses his sword in vain to fight against firearms in the age of firearms. explained Koji Okada.

Kazuma: No, I mean, where is the Wang Li Space Army?

Okada Koji and Anno Akito looked at each other, and then cast doubtful glances at Kazuma: What is the King's Space Army?

Kazuma remembered that when they were in Osaka before, these people only talked about the idea of ​​Wang Li's space army, but they had not yet used this name to call the science fiction work they were imagining.

He Ma changed his explanation: What about the science fiction work you were talking about before? It was a work with a Cold War background and a group of fringe people working hard to launch a spacecraft and manned spaceflight.

Okada Koji and Anno Akito both said oh and understood.

Anno Akito: We will finish that work in the future. Now we especially want to make this modern sword and halberd film. We have shown the storyboard and the first draft of the script to the sponsor, and he likes it very much. Now even the production committee has been formed. , the money will be released in batches, and we are recruiting people to build the company.

Okada Koji added: Originally we planned to set up the company in Koganei City or Mitaka City, where the land rent is cheap. But considering that you are an active college student, I wanted to make it more convenient for you to come to the set. So in the end we ended up in Bunkyo The district rented office space.”

Kazuma couldn't close his mouth.

Rent in Wenjing District is extremely expensive. This group of college students who have just started their own business put their company in Wenjing District. How much investment have they defrauded?

Will you pay it back in the future?

At this time, Anno Akito added: You can walk to Yasuda Lecture Hall in an hour. If you walk quickly, it will only take half an hour. It is very convenient. If you have a bicycle, you can come to us after school.

Kazuma: It... feels like I don't need to participate in club activities anymore. I can just go to your place.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chiyoko opened the front door and came out: Brother, don't stand at the door chatting. Come in and talk. Although it's April, it's still quite cold, isn't it?

Kazuma then remembered that he should invite someone in.

Come on, let's go into the room and talk. Chiyoko, prepare some tea.

I'll open the door when it's ready.

Chiyoko said angrily and gave way to the door.

The former members of the Pioneer Image Research Society filed into the Kiryu Dojo and were led to the dojo by Kazuma.

Anno Akito looked around the dojo, and when he saw the side where the sword was placed, his expression became confused.

This is?

He looked at Kazuma.

Ah, Bizen Nagafune Ichimonzona likes Hiroko Yakushimaru, while Murasame is more traditional and likes Ukiyo-e. Kazuma explained.

Anno Akito: Ah? Is this...really?

Really. Kazuma nodded. As long as his expression was impeccable, the Japanese would stop asking questions.

As expected, Anno Akito glanced at the thing hanging behind the two knives again, and then he exclaimed: Can I... use this in the script?

Of course! Kazuma agreed without hesitation.

But Okada Koji had doubts on his face: Wouldn't this be too abrupt? After all, in our current story framework, there are no monsters or other things with strange powers and chaos.

Kazuma: This is simple. Just say that the sword has an AI that assists in combat, and the AI ​​has different preferences.

Anno Akito raised his eyebrows: Do you use technology to arm your swordsman? No, that's inappropriate. What we originally wanted to depict was that technological progress eliminated martial arts, and in this context, the struggle of the last samurai.

Then you can set it to be that this samurai has gone crazy, Kazuma suggested again, He thought he could contact the mind of the sword.

Anno Akito clapped his hands vigorously: Okay! This is good! In the end, the samurai was killed by a kid with a gun, and the sword was taken by the rich man, and then enshrined in a luxurious and empty room. This shows that what the samurai said before was all in his sleep. .”

Kazuma frowned. He already roughly understood what this story felt like. Isn't this far different from Wang Li's cosmic army?

Bad things have happened, bad things have happened, I am a butterfly, with one wing I have fanned the history of Japanese animation to a completely different track.

The most important thing is that if Anno and the others filmed Wang Li's Space Army like another time and space, Hema Tingtu's music could just copy Wang Li's Space Army.

Now it becomes something completely different, how do I score it? Are you copying The Legend of the Emperor's Blade?

Hey, wait, it seems...it's really okay.

As soon as Kazuma selected the next victim of plagiarism, Chiyoko spoke up: Brother, can you please sit down first and then we can talk.

Only then did Kazuma realize that they were all standing, so he quickly invited the two of them to take a seat.

Mikako, who was sitting next to the kotatsu just now, and Nanjo and Jinguji, who were in the dojo just now, are now gone.

This is also a tradition in Japan. When the male host comes to have guests, the female family members of the family must avoid it except the hostess who comes to serve tea.

Kazuma guessed that the girls were sitting around the table in the restaurant chatting.

After sitting down, Anno Akito took out a thick storybook from his bag.

This is the first draft of the storyboard. Take a look. It may be helpful for your music creation. Also, we hope you can give us more suggestions on the fighting movements. I really like the fighting movements in Tokyo Express.

After Anno Akito finished speaking, Okada Koji immediately responded: I also like it very much. It's better to say that the only way to watch the movie Tokyo Limited is the fighting.

Anno Akito took up the topic again: When you draw the action scenes later, it would be better if you could demonstrate it live. Nowadays, animated battles are full of all kinds of multi-purpose cards, and the battle scenes are not regarded as expressive at all. A link that is simply a waste.”

Kazuma scratched his head: It's okay, the Gundam battle. The three-star jet attack is great.

Ah, that's a bit interesting, but that's just a bit interesting. Anno Akito made a disdainful sound.

Okada Koji said: It is a TV animation, and there are pressures of cost and construction period. We are different. We can create super impactful images as much as we want.

Kazuma glanced at Okada Koji and said in his heart that he was right. Because of your thoughts, in another time and space, the cost control of your Wangli Space Army was a complete tragedy, leading to high debts.

Moreover, in another time and space, Anno and his gang did not learn their lesson after filming Wang Li's Space Force. The Mystery of Sapphire and Leap to the Top filmed in order to pay off debts were also negative examples of cost control.

Anno Akito bowed to Kazuma: In short, please allow us to borrow your wisdom and experience in terms of action scene design!

Of course Kazuma couldn't refuse the request, so just when Kazuma was about to agree, Chiyoko spoke first: Are these all paid?

Chiyoko just sat behind Kazuma, usually the hostess's position, and had no intention of participating in the conversation.

She suddenly interrupted at this time, which is not in line with Japanese customs. But neither Kazuma nor the two guests took this traditional and outdated custom seriously.

Of course there is a salary! Okada Kouji said firmly, In fact, we were able to get so much investment, and Kiryu-kun was indispensable. The performance of Tokyo Limited Express has greatly enhanced investors' confidence in our project. And Mr. Otsuki especially emphasized that we must ensure that Kiryu-kun joins our production team.

Kazuma: Mr. Otsuki, Mr. Toshiron Otsuki?

Okada shook his head: No, it's Director Otsuki Masaichi. Who is Otsuki Toshiron?

Anno Akito: Mr. Otsuki Masaichi has a son who studies at a Japanese university. His name seems to be Otsuki Junitsu. Is it wrong to spread rumors?

Kazuma understands, this Otsuki Junitsu is probably Otsuki Junlun from another time and space, a famous animation producer. His fame is different from others. The works he serves as a producer are either super fierce or super. rotten.

And because of his high status, he likes to do whatever he wants, such as handing Akamatsu Ken's magic teacher to XEBEC for production. After he failed, he continued to hand over the second season to XEBEC, which made Akamatsu Ken unbearable and publicly protested.

After Kazuma understood the situation, he nodded and said: In this case, I can only join you. But after all, I am still a student in college and cannot miss too many classes. I hope you understand.

That's what Kazuma said. In his last life, he missed a lot of classes when he went to college - in college, who wouldn't miss a few classes?

It's strange to have someone like Gan Zhongzhong who never lacks talent until she is a junior.

Regarding Kazuma's words, the two recently graduated college students both had expressions of Ah, we all understand.

It seems that they missed a lot of classes when they were in college.

Anno Akito: We understand that you just need to come as much as possible if allowed. We will also adjust the time according to your class schedule to cooperate.

Kazuma nodded: Okay, then I'll trouble you.

Chiyoko suddenly sighed: Brother, do you want to be a policeman or do you want to do animation in the future? Why am I confused?

Just as Kazuma was about to answer, Okada Koji said: No matter what career you pursue after graduation, you should seize the time to try everything you want to try during your college years, so that you will not regret it in the future.

Akito Anno also echoed: Yes, it is during college that many people discover what they want to do and what career they should pursue. For example, a famous cartoonist studied civil engineering in college, and then Discovered I wanted to be a cartoonist.”

Kazuma always felt that Anno Akito was sure that he, Kiryu Kazuma, would be determined to become a great musician in the future.

However, this is impossible, because Kazuma doesn't really have any musical talent, he is just a copycat.

Kazuma: Anyway, after class ends tomorrow, I will go to the club to show my face.

Okada Koji said: Ah, don't be so anxious. There will be a lot of social activities when you first enter school. In order to make your future college life smoother, it is better to participate in more of these social activities. Even if you want to get to know more seniors and inquire about professors His personality also helps a lot.”

Kazuma: When you say this is very helpful, do you mean going to the professor to beg for mercy when your grades are flying low?

Okada Koji gave a thumbs up: That's right! You are very wise! Sometimes going to the professor or not going to the professor is the difference between passing and failing.

Chiyoko: Brother, don't talk about things like this in front of me that will teach me bad things.

Kazuma: Chiyoko, if you fail a course in college and retake it, you need extra money.

Chiyoko: Brother, you need to build a good relationship with the professors!

Okada Koji and Anno Akito were amused by Chiyoko's change of expression.

At this time, the clock on the wall of the dojo rang six o'clock.

Okada Koji glanced at the clock, stood up and said, Oh, it's six o'clock, we have to leave. We have just arrived in Tokyo a few days ago, and our luggage is still unpacked in the apartment.

Then you go back early. Is it a long way? Kazuma said and stood up.

Anno Akito drank the tea on the table, then took a piece of tea and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, Oh, it's delicious. The house we rent is next to the Kanda River, so the distance is not bad.

Kazuma was speechless: Why do you all rent houses in Kanda River?

I just want to spend less money on things other than animation production. Okada Koji shrugged, We are all gentlemen anyway, and we don't have high requirements for accommodation. Well, I'll see you at the company tomorrow.

Kazuma nodded: Okay, see you at the company tomorrow.
