Chapter 85: Kendo training in Namimori Town!
It turns out that Mafia bosses aren't just gentle types like Sawada Tsunayoshi and Dino.
The raging flames rising into the sky were reflected in his eyes, and this thought emerged in the player's mind.
There are also those who have hot tempers like XANXUS.
Fushimi Kyoji remembered that the flame of death should have no temperature, but the terrifying heat wave he felt at this moment, which seemed to be able to burn people to ashes, was real and right in front of him.
As XANXUS's rage visibly cascaded and escalated, a bright light that was too bright to look directly at instantly filled and engulfed her vision, obscuring her view of anything else.
Facing the powerful aura like wind pressure, my skin felt tingling as if it were an illusion.
Wow…
Even in this tense situation, Yamamoto Takeshi suddenly burst into laughter, his brows relaxed: "Hahaha, I changed my mind."
"Hmm..." It was hard for the player not to nod heavily in agreement.
"Otherwise, let me teach you swordsmanship." He was completely unaware of the danger and still asked her in a light and natural tone.
"Agree."
Yamamoto Takeshi glanced around, searching for a hiding place that could protect them from the attack, and gave the player the choice: "Do you want to run?"
Fushimi Kyoji looked at him.
"Ah, because there's a practical lesson happening right now."
Yamamoto Takeshi was smiling, but his expression revealed calmness. Even facing the flames so close to him, there was no trace of panic on his face.
"Well, now is the first lesson." He looked relaxed, and blue flames representing the rain attribute ignited from the ring.
Yamamoto Takeshi drew his sword, and the flame of death instantly wrapped around the blade. He did not act immediately, but expanded the area covered by the flame of death until the flame of death and the player's flame of the same color as his were merged together.
「*【Attribute Up↑】：Remaining Time: 4:58
In this state, the Death Flame's [Affect Range] is greatly increased! [Ability Effect] is increased by 200%!
On the personal panel, the total amount of Death Flame instantly rose to five digits, and the countdown behind it was synchronized with the [Attribute Improvement].
Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the sharpness that occasionally flashed in his eyes was now fully revealed.
"Rain-attributed Death Flame, calming in nature."
XANXUS's tyrannical and overbearing flames of rage engulfed everything around them with ferocious momentum, except for their vicinity, where the peaceful flames of death filled the air. The light blue flames continued to weaken the speed and power of the flames of rage, leaving them temporarily safe.
This alone was not enough to get them out of trouble.
Yamamoto Takeshi's tough eyes narrowed slightly, and he handed the hilt of the knife to the player, motioning her to hold it as well.
"Now, it's practical teaching."
The player felt his hand being completely held by another person, and the two hands from different people overlapped and held the knife. The steadily burning death flame on the ring burst out with a momentum several times more violent than before.
The flame of death that did not belong to him surrounded Yamamoto Takeshi's body. The same attributes did not produce any rejection, and he merged with it perfectly.
The flames of death of the same attributes resonate with each other, adding up to a power of 1+1 greater than 2.
"Swordsmanship techniques and moves require long-term practice to master. Beginners only need to master... the most basic slashing!"
Aim at the target and focus your mind and eyes.
Yamamoto Takeshi's face was no longer relaxed. His expression was calm and composed as he guided the performer in performing sword skills.
"Chop it up."
When I was closest to the flames of death mixed with anger, it felt like rough sand brushing against my skin, or as if I was in a desert, with a dying heat wave rushing towards me.
"Cut it off."
Together they swung their swords hard, and the sword energy that emerged from the swords carried endless sharpness, cutting through the raging and roaring flames of anger that were right in front of XANXUS, splitting it in two.
The mighty flame of rage was split in the middle, and split to the left and right sides with the player and Yamamoto Takeshi as the points.
“…”
"Ah, I survived." Player.
Yamamoto Takeshi was optimistic: "Thanks to Squalo for attracting XANXUS's attention, otherwise it would probably not be so easy to leave."
Sawada Tsunayoshi, who rushed over after hearing the noise, looked like he was almost out of breath.
He pulled his hair with both hands in frustration: "Eh! So why did we have a conflict with XANXUS..."
"But..." Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulders slumped, and he looked at them with soft eyes, "fortunately, no one was hurt."
"It was so scary, that horrible 'monster'." Fushimi Kyoji recalled the shock XANXUS had just given her, and the illusion of heat that still remained on her skin.
It was no different from confronting a frenzied beast.
"That's what I mean..." Sawada Tsunayoshi agreed repeatedly, cold sweat unconsciously flowing down his face.
Not only XANXUS, but the other members of Varia are also very difficult to get along with.
Sawada Tsunayoshi swallowed hard: "So..."
It would be safer to avoid any contact with Varia unless necessary...
At the same time, Fushimi Kyoki's thoughtful voice reached his ears: "I wonder if Varia is still accepting members."
"Don't ever have such dangerous thoughts!!!" Sawada Tsunayoshi went crazy.
After the brief collapse subsided, Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was kneeling beside him, looked carefully at the two people in front of him who had changed into kendo uniforms and were standing side by side.
"Has Fushimi decided to learn Shigure Sogan-ryu from Yamamoto?"
His fingers were unconsciously scratching the wooden floor, and his eyes were lowered. Through his thin eyelids, he could see his eyeballs trembling left and right.
"Ah! I've seen Fushimi wield a gun before, so I'm a little surprised he chose kendo..."
Fushimi Kyoki strangely repeated 'Shigure Sogan Flow'. Yamamoto Takeshi blinked, a look of sudden realization crossing his face. "Oh, that's the sword technique I use."
After understanding what it meant, the players' curiosity subsided.
"Hmm... I don't plan on giving up the gun just yet."
Yamamoto Takeshi smiled without any gloom. "Fushimi wanted to learn the basics of swordsmanship, so he simply called everyone to the dojo."
"Tsk, you've been dithering for so long, why haven't you started yet?" Gokudera Hayato, who was sitting next to him, urged him patiently. When Sawada Tsunayoshi looked over, he quickly sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said in a friendly manner, "Don't waste the Tenth Generation's precious time, let's get started."
Sawada Tsunayoshi also felt uneasy about Gokudera Hayato's attitude and raised his hand to signal to the two of them.
"Well, let's try some simple moves first." Yamamoto Takeshi held the knife and demonstrated the standard knife-holding movements himself.
Fushimi Kyoki followed his instructions and gripped the bamboo sword he was practicing on tightly.
"Hmm... your stance and sword-holding posture are both incorrect. You should let the sword lean forward naturally."
A translucent indicator circle appears in front of the player's eyes, suspended in the air not far ahead.
Putting the end of the bamboo sword into a circle, Yamamoto Takeshi talked about other problems with non-standard postures: "Next is the hand movement. When holding the handle of the sword, use force with your fingers and don't turn your wrist outward."
The player's hands are covered in eye-catching orange and red colors. Once they loosen their grip on the knife handle, the color immediately becomes lighter. When they hold it again, the color gradually increases with the strength of the force.
Adjust the grip according to the standard color suspended at hand until it fits perfectly.
"Amazing! You figured it out so quickly." Yamamoto Takeshi shifted his gaze from the player's hands back to her face, gave her a thumbs-up, and cheerfully announced the next stage: "You can start practicing basic sword swings now."
[Endurance] +2!
Swinging the knife is also very simple.
As long as you use the knife to control the tip of the knife to move straight from the starting indicator circle to the second circle, you are done.
The above happened several times before Fushimi Kyoji was stopped.
"Oh, the movements are very standard." Yamamoto Takeshi did not hesitate to express his optimism, and his brown-yellow eyes, which made people hallucinate like some kind of bird of prey, stared at the player in front of him without blinking.
After a while, he narrowed his eyes, smiled brightly, and asked, "Do you want to start directly comprehending your sword skills?"
"What a fast progress!" Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but be surprised.
Hearing his voice, Yamamoto Takeya expressed surprise: "I thought today we would only learn how to hold a knife."
Could it be that Fushimi is another rare kendo genius...
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought uncertainly.
"..." After Yamamoto Takeshi finished talking about his understanding and insights into sword skills, he looked at the player, and Fushimi Kyoji was also looking at him.
No one spoke again, and the two of them stared at each other in an inexplicable silence.
The result is that I just learned the basics quickly!
"Hahaha, it turns out that I'm not as good as Squalo when it comes to teaching others." There was no sign of disappointment on Yamamoto Takeshi's face. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head and smiled.
"Squalo?"
"Ah, I improved my swordsmanship by watching his battle videos," Yamamoto Takeshi said frankly, a look of curiosity in his eyes. "Should I ask him for help? I hope this time will be when XANXUS is in a good mood."
The latter exclamation successfully reminded Fushimi Kyoji of XANXUS's anger.
Player: Forget it...
Was this person doing this on purpose?
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Yamamoto Takeshi, who had dismissed the player's idea with just one sentence. Yamamoto turned around and asked him naturally, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head, "Nothing."
Yamamoto Takeshi uttered an "oh," seemingly accepting the explanation. He glanced at the player, "Although I've fought alongside Tsuna and Gokudera, this is my first time teaching someone swordsmanship..."
Tsunayoshi Sawada rubbed his knees and changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged like Hayato Gokudera. He was attracted by Yamamoto Takeshi's voice and looked towards him.
"Hmm..." He seemed to be thinking about how to express himself, but his expression was quite relaxed. In short, a long time passed, so long that Hayato Gokudera almost lost his temper, before he heard Yamamoto Takeshi say again, "If you really want to say it."
His gaze fixed intently on the player's face, rubbing his chin with his hand. Seeing the player staring back at him, Yamamoto Takeshi suddenly smiled: "It's just that the mood is very different."
Perhaps realizing that this was too general, he thought briefly and added, "My feelings towards Squalo before are probably different from what they are now."
"...Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked in a very small voice, but he quickly reacted and shut his mouth, his flashing eyes subconsciously glancing at the player.
"Excuse me..." A student wearing a Namimori school uniform stood outside the dojo. "Yamamoto-san, could you please come out for a moment?"
"oh!"
Yamamoto Takeshi was called away by the opponent, and Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was stuck in a dilemma, went crazy: I was interrupted!
"If you don't have any talent for swordsmanship, why not focus on using a spear?" Gokudera Hayato's tone was unkind, but one could tell from his words that he was making a serious suggestion. "Do you want to be a spear swordsman in the future?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed dryly: "So it seems that Fushimi is living in an environment where he would use such a dangerous weapon..."
"By the way, what weapon did Sawada-san use?"
Being asked suddenly, Sawada Tsunayoshi's language system almost failed. He took out the gloves from his pocket and hesitantly said, "Ah, this is it..."
Player: Oo?
A pair of... woolen gloves.
Sawada Tsunayoshi realized the situation belatedly and felt dejected.
I forgot that this form seems to have no lethality at all...
Fushimi Kyoji commented on what he saw: "It feels like a great tool for making snowmen in winter."
Analyzing seriously!
Clear and bright flames ignited from Sawada Tsunayoshi's forehead, and the gloves on his hands also changed. The originally soft wool was covered with metallic gauntlets, revealing a precise and hard luster.
As expected, I still prefer the woolen gloves just now.
When Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had just released his Death Mode, heard the player say this, he was completely confused: "Eehee, why?"
The two hands that were released from the X-glove form and turned back into woolen gloves were poked by the player's fingertips.
Pinch.
Finally, I just held it and shook it up and down.
"Hmm? Because just looking at them makes you feel warm and non-aggressive, just like the Vongola."
“Ah, ah…”
Sawada Tsunayoshi instinctively wanted to lean back and create a distance from the other person that would make him feel safe.
He blinked frequently, seemingly at a loss, and could only echo the player's words dryly: "That's right."
