Chapter 10 Shannan's Respect
The trial and safety hall recommended by Kiryu just now made Aoden very moved.
But the last sentence that Boss Kiryu said, "I have a great friendship with the Trial and Health Center" still made Aoden feel a little worried.
He was worried: Will this boss Kiryu make the trial and hospital hall very attractive in order to take care of the business of the Sword Hall, which he is familiar with, so as to lure him into the beginning.
This kind of behavior of a friend’s business is not a rare thing.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to check whether the test hall was as good as Kiryu said.
How to verify the authenticity of Kiryu's introduction to the Test and Health Center just now?
Qingdeng really happens to have a good way to test it.
He happened to...or "Harakiri Aoden" happened to have a close friend who was studying at the Xiaochiba Sword Hall.
...
...
Qingdeng galloped all the way on the street, and many civilians along the way hurriedly hid to the side and made a way out.
Civilians gave way to samurai - this was a very common thing in Japan during the Edo era.
In the Edo period, except for the special class of nobles and nobles, society could be roughly divided into two types - samurai in the ruling class and commoners in the ruling class.
As the ruling class, the warriors whose social status is above the common people can be said to have quite a lot of slutty privileges.
One of the great privileges that warriors have is "irrespectful conspiracy".
The so-called "irrespectful confrontation" means that when a warrior with "sword power" feels that some commoner insulted him, the warrior can directly draw his sword and kill the commoner without any criminal responsibility.
Because of this, many common people are afraid of warriors. When they meet warriors on the street, they will basically automatically make way for them to avoid causing trouble.
In the eyes of many common people, the warrior sprinting on the street is like a sprinting bomb.
He accidentally bumped into a samurai, hitting a sabre or staining his sword. The samurai yelled, "You rude man! You have defiled my soul!", and then pulled out the sabre and chopped the civilian who hit him. After killing the person, the samurai did nothing, and maybe he would be praised by others, "Good, samurai style! Warriors should be so casual!" - This kind of thing was common in the Edo era.
The ruling class in the feudal era can be so unreasonable.
...
...
Qingdeng ran to a certain samurai settlement area in one breath, then quickly turned onto a small path, and finally stopped in front of a small house that looked ordinary.
"Shannan! Shannan! Shannan Jingshu! Are you here?"
"Here, come."
As soon as Qingdeng's shouting fell, a baritone voice sounded behind the door.
After a moment, the slightly old door was slowly opened.
The door opener is a very young warrior.
He has slightly fair skin, his eyes are slightly slender, and there are two tear moles at the corner of his right eye. These two tear moles look particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of his fair skin.
He is shorter than Qingdeng, about 165cm and tall. If you want to use one word to describe this young warrior, there is no more suitable word than "pretentious".
Not very handsome, but it is also a face that can attract many girls to like.
In addition to his good looks, the young warrior has another outstanding appearance - he has an extremely good temperament and a quiet temperament.
There was always a faint smile on his face, and there was a bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows and eyes. There was a gentle and elegant atmosphere everywhere in his every move.
This person must be a talented man with high knowledge - there must be many people who will have this idea after seeing this young warrior for the first time.
"Qingdeng, what's wrong? Why did you come to me early in the morning?" The young warrior gave up his body to the side and gave up a message at the door of the room. "Anyway, come in quickly."
"Shannan, I'm here to ask you something. I'll leave after asking and stay soon."
This young samurai, who is called "Shannan" by Qingdeng, is named "Shannan Keisuke". He is a friend that "Harakiri Akuto" met by various coincidences a year ago.
Although he didn't know each other for a long time, for some reason, the two of them surprisingly got together. In just one year, he and "Harakiri Aoden" became close friends.
"If you have something to ask me?" Shannan's face showed some confusion, "You ask."
"Shannan, you are currently studying in the Little Chiba Sword Hall, right?"
"Yes."
"Then I want to ask you: Do you often have sword skills exchanges with a test hall where Xiao Qianye Sword Hall and Xuanwu Hall?"
Qingdeng's friend who was studying Beichen Yishaoliu in the Little Chiba Sword Hall was this one of the most important things to do.
"Testing the Warehouse?" Shannan raised his slender eyebrows slightly, "Why did you ask about this?"
If you explain it one by one slowly, it took too much time, so Qingdeng vaguely and once again half true and half false:
"The world has become increasingly unstable recently, and I, a sergeant who is responsible for catching thieves, is also working harder, so I plan to study swordsmanship seriously so that I will not be accidentally hacked to death by some evildoer one day."
"I just heard someone telling me that the test hall is a good choice. Not only is the sword technique taught not a fancy way, but the sword hall and the Xuanwu Hall in Beichen Yidao Liu have a good relationship with the Xiao Qianye Sword Hall. The three sword halls often gather together to exchange sword techniques."
"So I'm thinking about coming to you to confirm whether these things are true."
"Oh, so that's it." Shannan nodded gracefully, then his lips curled up slightly, and a soft smile appeared on his face, "These things are true."
"The Xuanwu Pavilion and the Xiao Qianye Sword Pavilion where I am currently studying, do often engage in swordsmanship exchanges with that test hall."
"It was about 6 days ago. The people from the Test Guard Hall had just arrived at the Xiao Qianye Sword Hall once. We had a great time practicing sword skills with the apprentices of the Test Guard Hall."
"I was also lucky enough to witness the heroic posture of the disciples of the Guardian Pavilion several times."
"What the person who introduced you to the test hall is true."
"According to my observation, natural mind flow is indeed a school with real skills, not a school of flower-like style that is just like a figure. The sword wind is strong, and the sword is bloody."
"In terms of practical combat, I personally think that the natural psychological flow is not worse than the Beichen Yidao flow."
"And the teaching level of that test clinic is also very good, and many of the apprentices in it have very good strength."
"Especially a young man named Okita Mainji has strong strength and talent that even his master praised at such a young age."
"Qingdeng, if you learn swords with the goal of 'to subdue the stingy thief better', then this test hall is indeed a good place to go."
Qingdeng naturally knows what Shannan has.
He is loyal and upright, and he cannot lie to Qingdeng, and he has no reason to lie to Qingdeng.
Shannan's identity as a "sword master" made his remarks that praised the natural mind flow seem particularly credible.
As far as Qingdeng knows, this Shannan has outstanding achievements in swordsmanship.
Qingdeng, who is not good at swordsmanship, doesn't know how strong he is, but he knows that Shannan has always been famous for his strength in the Xiao Qianye Sword Hall, where there are many powerful people.
Even Shannan, who has excellent swordsmanship and reliable character, praised the practicality of natural mental flow. Qingdeng's last doubts about natural mental flow and the test hall in his heart dissipated.
"Qingdeng, I didn't expect that you, who have always been uninterested in swordsmanship, would also want to learn swords in the sword hall." Shannan sighed in a joking tone and said seriously, "You must not be careless in the choice of sword hall."
"I also know some other sword halls with good levels here."
"If you are interested, I can introduce all these sword halls to you."
"You know many sword halls with very good skills? Are there any sword halls you know who have the opportunity to compete with many people and compete with each other? For example, the sword hall like the Trial Hall, which can compete with the apprentices of the Xuanwu Hall and the Xiao Qianye Sword Hall, the two major sword halls," Qingdeng asked.
"Hmm? It seems... no. Among the good sword halls I know, there are only hundreds of people with the largest number of apprentices. Unless they are the kind of sword halls with very good relationships with each other, there is little frequent communication between the sword halls and the sword halls."
"Then forget it." Qing Deng smiled at Shannan, "I have decided-I want to go to the test guard hall."
"You decided?" Shannan exclaimed in a low voice, "Are you sure? Will you be too hasty and not choose more seriously?"
"No need, there should be no sword hall in the entire Edo that is more suitable for me than the Test Guardian. I will go to the Test Guardian to become a disciple now."
After saying that, Qingdeng raised his hands and patted Shannan's shoulders hard:
"Shannan, thank you! I've helped me a lot, and I'll invite you to drink when I have time!"
Qingdeng said goodbye to Shannan, and then hurriedly left in front of Shannan's door.
Looking at Qing Deng, who appeared unexpectedly and then left anxiously, Shannan smiled helplessly: "It's really rare to say that he would invite me to drink..."
...
...
While galloping on the street, Aoden took out the paper Kiryu had just given him with the address of the test hall, and followed the address written on the paper and rushed forward.
Since my doubts about natural mental flow and test clinics have been eliminated, there is no need to hesitate more about the choice of sword halls.
A sword hall that can compete with the people of three sword halls in one breath - just as Aodo just said to Yamanan: There should be no Aodo who has a "copy talent system" in his body than this test hall.
——I hope that after joining the Test Hall, I can replicate some powerful talents as soon as possible...
After praying so secretly in his heart, Qingdeng quietly accelerated his running pace.
