There were seven or eight people crowded at the front desk, more men than women, and they all looked quite young.
Not long after Kimura Kazuki came in, he was spotted by a sharp-eyed girl. She screamed excitedly, "Raikiri!!"
This sound attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Kimura Kazuki.
"Wow! It's really here."
"It seems the news is not lying."
"Uncle Yagyu, I want to sign up!"
The arrival of Mucunheshu caused a small chaos in the top. There were only a few people, so the chaos didn't last long before Kenichiro Yagyu stopped them.
When Kenichiro Yagyu saw Kimura Kazuki, he shouted to the back, "Yamae, come out and help."
"coming."
Soon, Yagyu Masae came out. When she saw Kimura Kazuki, she couldn't help but smile gently, "Here comes Kazuki, come in quickly."
Yagyu Masae is Kenichiro's wife. She went back to her parents' home for something a few days ago, so Kimura Kazuki didn't see her. After coming here yesterday, we got to know each other.
Yagyu Masae started registering people who signed up to join the kendo hall at the front desk, while Kimura Kazuki and Yagyu Kenichiro came to the study room.
Obviously, Kenichiro Yagyu could see Kimura Kazuki's curiosity. He didn't say anything and handed the computer on the table to the other party.
Kimura Kazuki took it and took a look, and saw a video that was halfway playing on his computer. He clicked on it and saw that it was a video from the NHK Education Channel. There were two people sitting on it, an old man with white hair but full of energy. One is the host.
"...After talking about the schools of competitive kendo, let's talk about the swordsmanship of ancient kendo. Many people think that the swordsmanship of ancient kendo is actually no different from competitive kendo. This is actually a wrong idea. Take Beichen Yida Ryu as an example. Beichen There are kendo schools of Ittōryu all over Tokyo, but few people know that Beichen Ittōryu has two clans and branch families."
"The Zong family masters the core swordsmanship, and the branch family manages the Beichen Kendo Hall for the Zong family, teaching ordinary people the basics of Beichen One-sword style. If they are talented, they will be recruited as core disciples and teach the true Beichen One-sword style. Therefore, they control Beichen's one-sword style. The Chiba family of Itto-ryu stands tall and occupies the top three positions in the world of ancient kendo."
"Oh... is the Chiba family so powerful only the top three?"
"Haha... I can only say that the Chiba family is well run and has a prosperous population. As for the swordsmanship, it is average. If it ranks among the top three, I can only say that the other five families are too useless."
"Ahem... Nakajo-sensei, what about the top two?"
"The first is the Tsukahara family. The Tsukahara family is undefeated in his career as a swordsman, and the Shinto-ryu is truly unparalleled. The Tsukahara family is now recognized as the strongest in swordsmanship. We won't go into details about this. Let's talk about the second-placed Yagyu. Home." Nakajo Kigoro was sitting in his seat. Although he was old, he had a solid aura, a serious face, and quite the temperament of a master. He talked eloquently, "Everyone who is familiar with ancient kendo knows that there are two Yagyu in the ancient kendo world. Family. One is the Yagyu family of the Yagyu Shinin-ryu, and the other is the Yagyu family of the Yagyu Itto-ryu. But many people don’t know that in the early Warring States Period, these two Yagyu families actually originated from the same family."
"Could it be the Yagyu family of the Yagyu flying sword style?"
Nakajo Kigoro was a little surprised at this time. He looked at the host and said, "You also understand."
"No..." The host shook his head, "But I believe that as long as you are a citizen and are familiar with swordsmanship, you should know about Yagyu Sword Master."
"Yes! The first swordsmanship spread by the Yagyu family was the Yagyu Itto style, and the Yagyu flying sword style was the school founded by the Yagyu sword master. This is recorded in history. After the death of the Yagyu sword master, the Yagyu family fell into pieces. The members of the family fled everywhere and took root in other places." Nakajo Kigoro said slowly, "There are two families that have truly continued. One family studied under the Sword Master Kamiizumi, passed down the Shinin-ryu, and carried forward the Shinin-ryu. The other family has been looking for the inheritance of Yagyu Feijian style, and now it is just hanging on."
After hearing this, the host was filled with sighs. But he seemed to think of something, "Does the Yagyu family, who is looking for Yagyu Feijian style, still exist now?"
"Of course!" Nakajo Kigoro laughed, "And...the successor of Yagyu Hiken style has appeared. I wonder, host, if you have seen the video of the competition in Akihabara Square on Niconico, the one on the right side of the video The boy uses the Yagyu flying sword style!"
"Oh!" The host's eyes lit up, "I know this. I've also seen that video, but I didn't expect that person to use Yagyu Feijian style."
"That's right." Nakajo Kigoro said excitedly, "And with the emergence of the Yagyu flying sword style, I'm afraid the ancient kendo will have to be reshuffled. Maybe... in a few years, the Yagyu flying sword style will be the strongest swordsmanship. In In my opinion, Shinto-ryu is not as good as Yagyu Feijian-ryu, they are not on the same level."
The host tilted his head slightly and suddenly laughed, "I received a message here saying that the successor of Yagyu Feiken style is a high school student and has signed up to compete in the Jade Dragon Banner. It seems that this year's Jade Dragon Hata can see how powerful the legendary Yagyu flying sword style is."
There was still some content to follow, but Kazuki Kimura didn't read much. He looked at Kenichiro Yagyu and pointed at the old man in the video, "Is this the one you asked for?" In order to promote the flying sword style of Yagyu, he did too much. It's big, no wonder the deserted Yagyu Kendo Gym is getting business again.
"No..." Kenichiro Yagyu smiled helplessly. He secretly took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "This guy Nakajo is just a troublemaker."
Nakajo Kigoro is a member of the Nakajo family, and now the Nakajo family has withered into disgrace. Not counting his disciples, the Nakajo family has only one member, Kigoro. It is said that he was inhumane when he was young.
The Nakajo family inherits the Nakajo Itto-ryu, which is one of the oldest schools in Japan. It's just that there has been no innovation, and it has gradually declined, worse than the Yagyu family.
So Kigoro was unhappy with other families, and he was probably a psychopath, so whenever he had the chance, he would smear these families in the media. Every time, he will be sarcastic by praising and undermining.
There is nothing the other families can do against each other. After all, Kigoro is almost seventy years old and will not live for a few more years. By then, the Nakajo family will be extinct. If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide
Unexpectedly, NHK TV station invited him to comment on the kendo school on the program, which immediately scratched Kigoro's itch. So he appeared to be in high spirits on the show.
As a result, this guy immediately hacked all the eight major families and boasted about Yagyu's flying sword style, which made Kenichiro Yagyu very depressed.
He had just discovered Kimura Kazuki, and asked him to secretly teach his daughter Yagyu Hiken Ryu. The result was exposed within two days. Doesn't this make him enemies
Kimura Kazuki also frowned. This old man boasted about Yagyu Feijian style, and then the host revealed that he was going to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner. Didn't he put himself at the center of the storm? But when I thought about it again, it seemed like it had nothing to do with him. Can a jade dragon flag still produce waves
According to the contract, he taught Yagyu Hiken-ryu to Yagyu Shizui. So it doesn't matter to him who he wants to teach Yagyu Hiken-ryu after he learns it. The contract shows that he has no objection.
Therefore, if Yagyu Kendo Hall later teaches the student Yagyu Hikenryu, he will not say anything.
However, the other party asked him to watch this video, and it was obvious that there was something else going on. Thinking, he looked at Kenichiro Yagyu, waiting for him to speak.
