Nioh-kun who can do anything

Today is also a nice sunny day.

On the first day of spring break, Sanada got up at four in the morning as usual, finished his morning class, and went to morning tennis training.

Obviously the weather is very good, the sun is pleasant, but Sanada is always a little restless.

He even felt his eyelids twitch while washing up.

Frowning, Sanada thought about whether he had missed anything, and went through his vacation plan again.Didn't find anything wrong.

Maybe it was to prepare for the final exam, so I didn't take a break some time ago.he thought so.

Then he got a call from Nioh after breakfast.

Sanada: "..."

So, is this the origin of the ominous premonition?

Ten minutes later, he opened the door of his house and found Niwang standing at the door with a tennis bag on his back, beckoning to him: "Yo, long time no see."

Sanada was speechless: "We just met yesterday."

Nioh: "Obviously this is just a polite way of saying hello."

And for him, it was indeed a long time since I saw him, at least two months.

Sanada frowned slightly, ignoring Nioh's words, but asked: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Can't I just come to visit?" Nioh joked, "Isn't it normal for friends to visit each other?"

Sanada's eyes gradually changed.

He looked at King Ren, and stretched out his hand seriously to touch King Ren's forehead.

Nioh: "...I don't have a fever."

Sanada: "Then what nonsense are you talking about?"

What is nonsense?It's just that after entering the dungeon, I have a new understanding of many things.Forget it, apparently Sanada couldn't understand.

King Ren clicked his tongue: "I remember, you suggested to me before that I should go to the dojo to learn swordsmanship?"

When it comes to this topic, Sanada's attitude became serious: "That's right. I still have this suggestion. In the past six months, your progress on 'Aggression like Fire' has been very slow. This is because you have no foundation in kendo and cannot understand it from kendo This trick."

Now that Nioh has learned this trick, Sanada hopes that Nioh can do it well.In the past six months, he suggested to Niwang several times, but Niwang didn't seem to intend to adopt his opinion.In other words, what Nioh has explored in the past six months is another way of playing tennis: imitation.He will constantly switch between different people's styles of play when playing.From Sanada's point of view, although Nioh's progress in learning his own "Fenglin Volcano" is very slow, he is learning other people's moves very quickly.

This also made Sanada ask Nio to learn kendo a few times: Since he can learn other people's moves well, there is no reason why his moves can't!Even if it is "imitation", there must be no dead ends!

Now that King Ni came to look for him...

"Have you decided?" Sanada asked.

Nioh didn't quite understand why Sanada was so active.

He thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have learned some sword skills, which should not be the traditional way of swordsmanship."

Sanada frowned.

Nioh ignored Sanada's face, but explained his purpose of coming to Sanada today: "I need to buy some basic tools for kendo."

Sanada looked at him suspiciously: "Buy equipment? If you didn't have any equipment before, where did you learn it? You don't know how to watch video lessons online, do you?"

King Ni: "...That's not true."

He looked at Sanada, as if thinking of something interesting, he suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "Why don't you try it?"

"……what?"

"Let's have a look at the battle." King Ni said, "Just treat it as me challenging you, how about it?"

Sanada: "I don't fight beginners."

"Don't be so arrogant, what if you lose?" Nioh finished speaking, and seeing that Sanada hadn't raised his eyebrows, he added, "By the way, you can also take a look at my sword skills and give me some advice."

Sanada's brows gradually loosened.

It would be all right to give advice, he thought.Since he has learned kendo since he was a child, he should have offered help when Nioh came to ask for help.From this point of view, he really should take a look at what King Ren has learned.If he really learned something messy in the video class, he should correct it earlier and let Niwang go to the formal training class!

The dojo of the Sanada family and the house of the Sanada family are connected together, but the entrance is not at the same place.

At the end of the semester, Sanada invited people from the tennis club to come to his home to review homework together, so Nioh knew the way to Sanada's house.As for the Dojo of the Sanada family, if you walk from the main entrance, the entrance is on another street.

It was a bit troublesome to go outside, so Sanada took Nioh directly into the Sanada house, first found a clean kendo uniform, and then took Nioh directly to the dojo through the door inside the house.

Sanada knew about Nioh's routine and knew that Nioh must have just finished tennis practice not long ago, so he didn't ask Nioh if he needed to warm up.He found the dojo where he practiced kendo, and went to the nearby warehouse to find wooden knives and protective gear.

Nioh took the protective gear and studied it.

Seeing his strange movements, Sanada couldn't help frowning.

Nioh noticed Sanada's expression.It's hard for him to say that he practiced with a real knife at all, and he didn't wear protective gear.Fortunately, I have also seen it in TV dramas. Nioh is also a dexterous person, and he knows how to wear the protective gear after a little research.

Holding the knife, he felt the weight of the wooden knife, and waved it tentatively.

When Nioh picked up the knife, his breathing naturally began to adjust, and his whole state also began to change.

Even if he wasn't in Sagiri Mountain, his mental power began to sink habitually, and his mind and consciousness also calmed down in the process of breathing adjustment.

Sanada's expression changed instantly.

He immediately understood that what King Ni said that he had learned sword skills was not a lie.And this is obviously impossible to learn by just watching videos on the Internet.This momentum and feeling...an ancient martial art?

He also put on the protective gear, and clenched his own wooden knife: "Attack when you are ready!"

Wooden knives have wider blades than real knives, but are lighter in weight.

Nioh adjusted the posture of holding the knife, and raised his eyes to look at Sanada on the opposite side.

He didn't have time to try the application of breathing method in tennis during the tennis practice just now, but holding the knife at this time, the results of two months of high-intensity practice are naturally displayed.He opened his lungs and took a deep breath—

It's like drawing a knife, pointing your toes while drawing the knife.

The power he gained from breathing made his body temperature rise and his heart beat faster.

He couldn't maintain this state for too long, so he used sword skills directly at the beginning of the attack.

Breath of Water · One Shape, Slashing on the Water Surface!

This is the simplest move and the most basic move, and it is the most proficient move of all his attacking middle schools.Although there is still a long way to go before entering the hall, judging from the moves, it already looks good.

Utilize strength and momentum when drawing the knife, swing the knife quickly, and launch a straight cut from the plane. What is important is the most basic strength, speed and slash!

While swinging the knife, Nioh remembered the feeling of cutting the water with the knife under the waterfall.

He seemed to have seized that moment, and exerted all his strength when his breathing reached its peak and his lungs had the most oxygen.

Sanada opened her eyes wide.

He was caught off guard by King Ren's attack, and it was too late to fight back, so he raised his hand to hold back King Ren's attack, but was almost directly hit in the face by this move.

Niwang took advantage of the victory to pursue.

He jumped up and used his own body weight to press down on the wooden knife. Seeing that Sanada began to push back with force, he borrowed his strength to move backwards, and after somersaulting, he tiptoed to the ground.

He let out a long breath, inhaled oxygen into his lungs again, and then rotated his body with his arms and knife——

Breath of Water·Two Types, Waterwheel!

The sword's attack took on a circular trajectory, which caught Sanada off guard.

Seeing that the blade of the wooden knife was about to hit his neck guard, he frowned and took a step back, then leaned back to avoid King Ni's attack.

Two consecutive attacks made Sanada lose the initiative.

Nioh took another deep breath.

Found it, the flaw!

He didn't use the attack type again this time, but just sent the knife straight forward.

The side of the wooden knife hit the upright side of Sanada's knife, and when it was pressed down, Sanada, who was leaning back, lost his center of gravity.

He took two steps back, staggering and struggling to stand still.

But King Ni did not continue to pursue.

He let out a breath: the breathing method has reached the limit, and the lungs have begun to throb.

Is it 3 minutes?no!A one-time attack can only last for a little more than 1 minute, and the time is too short!

They looked at each other, Sanada gritted his teeth, adjusted his state and attacked again.

Nioh was in a period of revision where he could not enter the breathing method again.

He kept changing his breathing rate, soothing his lungs.In this situation, he turned from offense to defense, instead of using extremely strong attacks, he used his observation ability, only defended, and borrowed cleverness to make every attack of Sanada come back in vain.

This state was stalemate for nearly 10 minutes, unable to achieve attack results, making Sanada gradually frown.

clap clap.Suddenly there was a high five on the sidelines.

The wooden knives that were originally stacked together were separated, and the duel was interrupted.Sanada turned his head and found that it was his grandfather.

Sanada Genemon heard that his grandson's friend came to the house as a guest, and it was not the child of the Yukimura family who often came, but another child, so he was inevitably curious.Then he heard that Genichiro took his friends to the dojo.

Dojo?Friends who practice kendo?But Mieko said that the child was carrying a tennis bag, so he should be a friend from tennis.

It just so happened that there was no need to bring apprentices today, so Genemon Sanada decided to go and see what his grandson was planning to do with his friends: Is it possible to teach his friends kendo again?In the past, he also tried to teach the children of Yukimura's family kendo. It won't be so many years. This is the only way Genichiro makes friends.

As a result, when they walked to the door, they saw a wonderful battle.

With Sanada Genemon's eyesight, he can naturally see the jerkyness in Nioh's sword skills.But at the same time, he could also see the sword intent contained in those two sword skills.This must be the ancient inheritance of swordsmanship, but it has not been fully integrated, so it is only seen in its form but not its spirit.

"Genichiro, you are relaxing." Sanada Genemon said.

After the duel was interrupted, Sanada put away his attacking stance.

Hearing what grandpa said, he pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

Nioh felt a little uncomfortable: Isn't this atmosphere too serious?

After thinking for a while, he simply took off the protective gear and saluted Grandpa Sanada again: "Hello."

"Hello." Genemon Sanada couldn't help pointing, "You haven't practiced the sword moves just now, and the basics are a bit rusty."

"Yes, thanks to your guidance." King Ren said.

Seeing that his grandson and his friends were a little uncomfortable, Sanada Genemon looked at them seriously, then turned and left.

Seeing his grandfather walking away, Sanada turned around.He also took off the protective gear and looked at King Ni with a complicated expression.

"You..." He frowned.

King Ren interrupted him: "How about it, my sword skills are not bad, right?"

Sanada: "...huh."
