Chapter 357 It seems that there is another purpose?
"Shi Fan Dai, what are the characteristics of the ancient swordsmanship? Actually, I have always had the future in my mind, such as the Shinto style, the Xia Shinto style, the Shixian style, and the Xindang style. They are like simple names. According to the characteristics, I completely distinguish not come out."
The Wuxin Dojo of the Sakakihara family in Chiyoda Ward.
Sakakibara Matsukita was drinking sake, and heard the questions from the young disciples in the dojo.
Holding the cup in his hand, Sakakibara Matsuki glanced at the little disciple in front of him.
"You ask this?"
The disciple in the plain hakama suit nodded, looking dumbfounded.
He was still in high school, and he joined the Kendo Club in his first year. His seniors had been recommending that he try to learn the ancient style of swordsmanship at a nearby dojo.
It just so happened that his home was near this Chiyoda district.
Since elementary school, he would pass by Wuxin Dojo every day when he went home.
Every time I see the wooden knife inside, I have something to look forward to, just like boys will have longing and curiosity in kendo and dojo.
He happened to come here to study at the suggestion of a senior from the Kendo Department.
"Well~ There is actually no difference in kendo, kendo is kendo, it is a modern competition. All the guild halls teach the same skills, but they are divided into people and experience, and there are slight differences in the subtleties."
Sakakibara Matsukita was sitting on the right side of the Japanese-style wooden table, he thought for a while and said:
"Strictly speaking, what we teach is not kendo, but swordsmanship, ancient style of swordsmanship, only ancient style of swordsmanship, there are schools. Modern kendo, all have unified techniques and standards, and the competition is also this kind of kendo."
The little disciple froze for a moment, obviously not knowing that such an answer would come.
"I just joined our school's kendo club not long ago. So I'm looking in the wrong direction now? Seniors obviously recommended me to come to the dojo to study"
Seeing that he was a little confused, Sakakibara Matsukita asked back: "Then do you think it's wrong?"
Looking into the eyes of Teacher Fandai on weekdays, the little disciple was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
This direction is wrong, but it seems to be right.
Sakakibara Matsukita immediately said:
"Your senior's suggestion is not wrong. Although kendo is not equal to ancient style of swordsmanship, in actual combat competitions, learning modern kendo is far more important than learning ancient style of swordsmanship, but this is not meaningless."
Sakakibara Matsukita asked after taking a sip of Japanese sake:
"You just came here to study, I wonder if you will pay attention to today's kendo competitions when you are in school?"
"Yes." The little disciple replied.
"In recent years, which player do you pay attention to most?"
The little disciple replied almost subconsciously: "Fujimaki Asuka."
Long before coming here, he had heard about the winner of the two championships in the past year and year.
Sakakihara Matsukita suddenly smiled and said: "Young people like him. Although he has shortcomings, he is still unique in terms of influence."
"I must remind you."
"The ancient style of swordsmanship has the characteristics of the ancient style of swordsmanship, and it is not integrated with the modern swordsmanship, but it is reflected in the competition. The most important point is fusion. The reason why someone can be called a swordsman is because of his understanding and understanding of the situation. The way it is handled is unique.”
"Also, although your senior brother Fujimaki's style is very powerful, I still advise you not to imitate him."
"Why...?" The little disciple didn't understand.
"Didn't you just say that? The style is different, you can't learn from him.
"If you want to further improve your level, you have to learn boring sword swings, steps, and psychological games. You must control your breathing and rhythm. You must keep a calm mind when you put on a mask and face your opponent. When facing the opponent's temptations, you will not lose your position and defend calmly. Handle without arrogance or impetuosity, swing the sword majesticly, bravely and strategically.
"—After completing these, it is considered that you have initially practiced the way of swordsmanship. As for the difference between schools, you can go to learn from them later, and you will naturally understand what the so-called style is."
The little disciple tried his best to listen to these words in his heart, Mr. Shi Fandai is a well-ranked trainee.
Presumably, if I put this passage into practice, I will benefit a lot.
"Sakakibara Sensei, why didn't you see Fujimaki-senpai this year?"
"He, he didn't represent us in the competition this year."
The little disciple was obviously taken aback: "Ah? Why? Obviously this year can win three consecutive championships."
"Mr. Shi Fan replaced his position with another senior brother of yours."
The doubt on the little disciple's face could not be concealed at all, well, why was he pushed out of his position.
Sakakibara Matsukita didn't understand at first, but now he understands what Sakakihara Isshin, the hands-off shopkeeper, has in mind.
A few days ago, a very beautiful girl came to the dojo to find Kai Uesugi.
Sakakihara Matsukita learned that her surname was Hanamaru.
Hanamaru Hanamaru Hiroki.
The one who beat the single-minded cop.
Ask again carefully.
He didn't expect Uesugi Kai to be that guy's son-in-law.
"Teacher?"
Sakakibara Songbei did not answer the little disciple's question, but waved his hand and said: "Go down first, remember that every time you practice, you will have irritability, and the practice is to overcome these."
Although the little disciple was puzzled about what happened just now, seeing Sakakibara Matsukita's expression, he didn't ask any further questions.
"Thank you, Teacher Fan."
"It's nothing."
After about 5 minutes.
Sakakibara Matsukita, who was sitting upright in his kendo uniform, saw the senior disciples enter from the entrance of the dojo.
"Coming back so early?"
Nan Myomaru walked in the front, greeted his colleagues in the dojo, and walked to the rest area in front of Sakakibara Matsukita.
He sat down straight away.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on, after the younger brother came on the field, the opponent actually forfeited! It's actually that guy Maehara Takehiko, but he was last year's top four in the country!"
Sakakibara Matsukita had some impressions: "The one from the Kasumi Shinto school?"
Hu Xinjing saw: "Yes."
Sakakibara Matsukita was silent for a while, as if thinking about something: "Where is Fujimaki? Which team is he in?"
"I didn't see him, at least I didn't see him in the 16 teams in the Kanto Division here." Kagami replied.
"Going to other places?" Sakakibara Matsukita muttered, "It's just like Yixin."
Kaoru Uesugi listened behind several senior brothers.
He also wanted to find that cheap master, but he seemed to have gone on a trip and had no contact information at all.
The entire dojo was left to his younger brother and daughter to manage.
Senior brother Yoshiyuki Higuchi rubbed his chin and was still thinking about the situation in the morning, he didn't understand:
"Why did Mae Yuan abstain from voting when he met the younger brother?"
Speaking of this.
For a moment, the other four senior brothers all looked at Shang Shanhao.
Uesugi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't even know them."
"Didn't my younger brother discuss the Kasumi Shinto style with us before going on stage? I think you are quite familiar with their philosophy." Tsujimoto Kirou, although his name sounded bluffing, had a kind face.
Uesugi Kai replied: "That is... the video I searched on the Internet the day before."
He looked innocent.
Okay, it seems that he really doesn't know.
Everyone here has no idea.
It feels like this morning's game was inexplicably won.
Xia Shendaoliu was last year's national top four team. Facing their team without Fujimaki Asuka, it's not that they have no hope of winning.
At least, as a kendo practitioner, one must also have the spirit of not giving up the game.
But why, they abstained as soon as they met the junior brother?
Now there seems to be no good way except to ask the person concerned.
Sakakibara Matsukita said at this time: "Maehara seems to have been to our place, and he seems to know Fujimaki."
When it comes to this big brother.
The four senior brothers all looked at Uesugi Kai again.
Uesugi: "What's wrong?"
Hu Xinjing saw: "Little brother, your senior brother is trying to bring hatred to you."
Higuchi Yoshiyuki: "Bad thing."
Nan Miaowan didn't understand: "What do you mean when you say here and there?"
Tsujimoto Guiro: "Maehara's team was the top four in the country last year. What would happen if they suddenly abstained from the team when they faced one person?"
"What can happen?"
"You're stupid!" Kagami looked at Miaomaru with contempt, "Pressure, you were interviewed by so many media when you didn't see your younger brother appearing in Fujimaki's general position? Let alone the inexplicable situation in the morning when the whole team abstained." .
"At that time, various newspapers will definitely have various articles, but the younger brother has no reputation in the kendo world, and he is a newcomer, so the name does not match the truth! Do you think there will be many people talking about him?"
"That's it," Nan Miumaru suddenly realized, completely ignoring the first sentence Kagami said, "But Maehara doesn't need to take care of his own future this year, right? Even if he has friendship with Fujimaki-senpai, then It’s not even possible to do that.”
"One can qualify from the loser group." Senior Brother Higuchi interjected.
"Even if you qualify, you will lose your reputation!"
"Junior brother forgot? Maehara's family is not very good." Tsujimoto Kiro reminded him.
"You mean, money? But Fujimaki's family is also not very good."
Sakakihara Matsukita sighed suddenly: "He has changed, and I understand why Isshin asked Kai to replace him in the competition. This guy is obsessed with the championship. Even if he is squeezed out of the general, he will not give up the game. His absence from the Kanto Division is proof."
See you in the heart of the lake and remind me again:
"Although Fujimaki-senpai's family is not good, don't forget that he has won two championships."
"So he asked Maehara's team to abstain directly? It just doesn't make sense to target the junior and put him under pressure."
The four senior brothers pondered for a long time.
Sakakibara Matsukita said, "Show me your schedule."
All four were silent for a moment.
Sure enough, Dai Shifan didn't care about their games at all.
Don't even look at the schedule.
In the end, it was Hu Xinjingjian who took out the phone.
Sakakibara Matsuki took a look at it, returned it and said, "I guessed right, while Fujimaki put pressure on you little juniors, it was also to guarantee you to qualify for the semi-finals in the Kanto Division."
When Shi Fandai said this, Hu Xinjingjian also had some clues: "So Brother Fujimaki is deliberately trying to compete with Junior Brother on the stage of the national competition? Why is he targeting Junior Brother so much?"
Sakakibara Songbei shook his head: "It's not your Fujimaki senior who is targeting Kai, but Kai is targeting him."
Everyone's expressions were extremely shocked at this moment, what does this mean! ?
Kaoru Uesugi: "."
Sakakibara Matsukita explained: "You also know Fujimaki's later temper, pride, and Kai pushed him out of the general position of the game, just to make him feel dissatisfied.
"Of course, I didn't do it, it was done by your master; Sakakihara Isshin did this because he, as Fujimaki's master, knew what he would do, and he was using your little brother to wipe out Fujimaki Ambition."
This is actually in the clouds.
However, based on the previous information, Uesugi Kai understood.
To summarize:
My own cheap master wants to use him to blow the arrogance of senior brother Fujimaki.
And Fujimaki Asuka also understood what Sakakibara Isshin meant.
But he is just arrogant, unwilling to resist with words, and wants to prove who is wrong in the national competition with actions.
It is also very possible to vent this dissatisfaction with Uncle Sakakibara on Kai Uesugi.
Kaoru Uesugi understood completely.
Good guy, cheap master is using him as a gun.
Uesugi Kai was a little angry, but when he found him later, he had to blackmail him.
Don't you want to deduct tens of millions of yen from this extremely rich uncle who has a garden and a dojo in Chiyoda District?
His wedding room has not been settled yet!
All the senior brothers heard the news, and now feel that their master is extremely irresponsible.
How can you let the junior brother challenge the senior brother, so he won't be beaten to death?
Not fair, totally unfair.
Even if he wanted to suppress that senior brother's temperament, he should at least find an opponent of comparable strength.
Although hard to find at the moment.
A few of them did not have the strength to fight against Fujimaki Asuka.
After all, everyone is an idealist who learns from the elder brother.
Whether it is seniority or strength, you have to go back a little bit.
"Little brother, where are you going?"
"Forget about going to the bathroom, anyway, today's game is over, let's go home by the way, let's not live today."
Kaoru Uesugi saluted all seniors and Sensei Sakakibara on his behalf.
The big guys looked at each other.
"Go home so early? Do you want us to give you a special training or something?"
"No, thank you brothers for your kindness."
"Afterwards, you must meet Brother Fujimaki in the competition. We are not confident that we can beat him."
Kai Uesugi shook his head, said goodbye, and left the dojo.
His back disappeared from sight.
Several senior brothers discussed again in front of Sakakibara Matsukita.
"Why does it feel like the younger brother is not worried at all?"
"He hasn't practiced against Senior Brother Fujimaki before, so he doesn't know how powerful Senior Brother is."
"How is your junior brother's kendo level?"
The other three senior brothers all looked at Nanmiaomaru, only he had practiced against Kai Uesugi.
Nan Miao Wan didn't mean to be joking either. He lowered his head and said after deep thought: "It feels... strange. It seems that his strength is a little worse than mine. But I always feel... He doesn't seem to be serious."
"It's unlikely. He has only come to us to practice for a long time. I heard that he has never touched swords before. It is the strangest thing that he won the bow championship last year."
"Indeed, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to catch up with Senior Brother Fujimaki so quickly. Besides, Senior Brother Fujimaki is also a genius. There is no doubt about it."
"Who has practiced against the junior brother?"
"There are some people, but I don't think they can give advice."
"Uesugi Shio! Junior brother is her cousin."
"Cough cough, be quiet."
Sakakibara Matsukita knelt down by the small table with sake, and said slowly and unhurriedly, "I didn't tell you one thing, your junior brother is actually Hanamaru Hiroki's son-in-law."
Everyone was silent for a while.
"That's possible."
"It's only possible, after all, he is a senior brother."
"Then do you think senior brother can beat Priest Hanamaru? Master has already lost to him, learn that trick."
"Hard to say, hard to say"
