I'm a dragon sparrow in Tokyo

Chapter 46 Getting Started
"Okay, Emi-chan, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy. I'll chat with this new member."

Mizuwa Maki suddenly brought the topic to Jiang Xu.

"Okay, Minister, I'm going to go outside to recruit new people."

Emi Hayatani nodded.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

When Emi Hayatani walked out of the office, Jiang Xu took a step forward and smiled.

"Hello, Minister Suiting, it's the first time we meet, I'm Jiang Xu."

Maki Mizuwa turned the pen with his fingertips, looked Jiang Xu up and down, and the tone that had been decided to be 'cold' beforehand became much softer unconsciously.

"Jiang Xu-jun, hello, I'm Maki Mizuwa, and I'm also the head of the Kendo Club. In the club, just call me the head."

After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, and she cleared her throat before continuing.

"Jiang Xujun, it is in line with the school's regulations for you to directly join the Kendo club, but whether you can become a member of the regular selection is a matter within the club."

"I've heard about your achievements, they are very magnificent, but Xia Guo's martial arts competition rules are very different from Sakurajima's kendo competition rules. Jiang Xujun, can you really adapt?"

At the end, her tone even took on a hint of seriousness.

Jiang Xu frowned, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Minister Suiting seemed to be targeting him.

Don't you like 'foreign aid'?
Jiang Xu couldn't figure it out, but Mizuwa Maki's words were in line with his previous expectations, so he said it directly.

"Minister, I think what you said makes sense, so I hope you will treat me as a newcomer to the Kendo Club, and I want to learn the rules of Sakurajima Kendo from scratch."

"???"

Maki Mizuniwa was stunned.

Who can tell her what is going on?
Didn't it mean that Jiang Xu, who won the championship of the Xia Guo National High School Student Fighting Competition, is a person who is arrogant and unreasonable, and only wants to pursue the so-called ultimate kendo competition?
How come real people are completely different from what the media says.

Asked her to prepare a basketful of words so that she couldn't speak, and she was even a little suffocated.

"Well, uh, I, I agree with Jiang Xujun your opinion very much."

"Well, the person in charge of newcomer training this time is the backbone of our kendo club, Fujisaka in the third grade. You can study with him for a while first."

"Okay, thank you Minister."

Jiang Xu naturally had no objection, "If there is nothing else, I'll go out first."

"Well, nothing for now."

"However, as Xia Guo's military champion, you came to our Sakurajima and started as a pre-selection member. Don't you feel slighted? Besides, there are no rumors that you came to Sakurajima to challenge our Sakurajima The sword master of the island's kendo world?"

After holding back for a while, Mizuwa Maki still couldn't help asking the question.

"No, not at all."

Jiang Xu shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary person, even if I may be a little good at swordsmanship, it doesn't mean I can be proud."

"Sakurajima Kendo also has its own characteristics. One of the purposes of my coming here is to learn Sakurajima Kendo, absorb its advantages, learn by analogy, and improve myself. If the young swordsman is willing, I really want to exchange ideas with him .Others are pure rumors."

Jiang Xu's beautiful words are set in one set, and he almost believed what he said.

He kept telling himself in his heart, don't be obscene, develop first, and everything will wait until the skill proficiency is raised.

Maki Mizuwa moved his fingertips slightly, put the pen in his palm, and said with a smile: "Well, well, I believe Jiang Xu-kun you have to say. I also hope that you can gain something from your studies in Sakurajima and Ayagawa."

The gap between Jiang Xu's actual performance and her psychological expectations was so great that she didn't even know what to say.

"Then I'll go out first, Minister Mizuniwa, goodbye."

Jiang Xu nodded slightly.

"Goodbye."

Mizuwa Maki kept smiling and nodded in return.

Until he watched Jiang Xu go out and confirmed that the door was closed.

She frowned instantly, leaned back on the chair, and seemed to think of something, took out her mobile phone, and clicked on the communication software.

Then he clicked on the first chat box on Zhiding, and the avatar was a landscape photo of the ancient courtyard of Sakurajima.

It doesn't look like a picture from the Internet, but it looks like I randomly took a picture at home and used it as my profile picture.

Mizuniwa Maki typed out a string of words, read them by herself, and after thinking for a while, she deleted them all, changed the way of expression, re-described the matter, and finally revised the subtle tone of words again, Only then clicked send.

Then he raised his phone and stared at the screen.

In about 3 minutes, she blinked, and the 'unread' behind the message became 'read'.

Mizuniwa Maki was shocked immediately, staring at the screen, waiting for the reply from the other side.

About half a minute later, a message was refreshed.

[Understood, this news helped a lot, thank you very much.Since this swordsman from Xia Guolai intends to learn Sakurajima Kendo, please teach him.I will find time to come to school in two weeks, and then, no matter what his purpose is, I will meet him for a while. 】

【learn! 】

After seeing that the last message he sent had been read, Mizuwa Maki casually threw the phone on the table, and then lay down on the table with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

'Two weeks!Great! '

Kendo club activity classroom.

After Jiang Xu went out, he walked directly towards the trial team at the door.

After a brief self-introduction, Jiang Xu successfully joined the newcomer queue as a freshman, and successfully received a bamboo sword.

Well, a freshman is a new student in Ayakawa, not a first-year student, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Jiang Xu's level of kendo, but Fujisaka, who was the newcomer's guide, didn't ask.

Not only didn't he ask Jiang Xu, he didn't ask any of the newcomers who came to try out these days.

Anyway, in the first few days, most of the newcomers are taught etiquette and some theories.

The actual moves will only start from the simplest and basic moves.

It's the same even if newcomers have learned it in junior high school, they have to practice again, and it will last for a week to sort it out.

If you think it's too simple, doesn't meet expectations, can't stand it, and can't settle down, you will be eliminated directly.

Only after a week, the society will start to teach separately according to the individual's learning level.

Generally speaking, freshmen are running errands and doing odd jobs, and it is basically impossible to be selected for the main selection of the competition.

Therefore, they have a year to polish themselves, so it doesn't matter if they slow down in the early stage, laying a good foundation is the most important thing.

After an hour, break time.

Jiang Xu scanned the entire activity room again, and asked doubtfully, "Is there no instructor in the Kendo Club?"

Seeing several other newcomers also have this doubt, Fujisaka explained.

"I heard from the seniors who have already graduated that there used to be, but after the minister invited the vice minister to join the kendo club, not long after, the instructor said that the kendo he taught was purely misleading. The teacher resigned anyway. Later, the guide of our Kendo club became the vice-minister."

All the freshmen were shocked. Ayakawa is not an ordinary school, and those who can apply for the job must at least have real materials.

What kind of blow did this instructor suffer? It directly lost his professional confidence.

"It's so powerful, so who is the deputy minister?"

Jiang Xu also became a little interested, turned to look at the group of official team members in the middle of the classroom and asked.

"The deputy minister's situation is quite special. She doesn't go to class, so she is not at school every day. She didn't come even when school started today."

"But as long as she comes, she will come to the Kendo club for guidance. It can be said that last year we were able to enter the top [-] of the National Kendo Competition, and the guidance of the deputy minister was very important. Unfortunately, I don't know why the deputy minister did not participate. National competition. Otherwise, the champion of the individual competition will definitely not be someone else. In the team competition, we will not fall in the top [-]."

It seemed that recalling some of the experiences of last year's competition, Fujisaka's expression suddenly became very excited.

Jiang Xu was about to ask about the vice minister again, when Fujisaka suddenly slapped his head.

"By the way, speaking of the deputy minister, I suddenly remembered something."

"You should have studied the teaching video of the Kendo Alliance. But the one I'm going to pass on to you is the latest version. According to the plan, it should be officially announced and released in half a month. But we got it during the holidays. , equal to two more months of familiarity."

Fujisaka laughed.

"Senior Fujisaka, the standard tutorial will only be updated every few years, and the rules of competitive competitions will also be fine-tuned accordingly. This is a big event in the kendo world. How did you get the new version of the teaching video in advance?"

asked a freshman.

Fujisaka nodded, expressing his understanding of the doubt.

"The video was obtained by the minister. It is certain that the news is absolutely accurate and the video is absolutely true."

Several newcomers looked at each other, and could only believe it half-believingly.

After all, it will be announced in half a month, so there is no need to lie.

But no matter what the video was, it didn't mean much to Jiang Xu.

In fact, he also searched for this series of videos on the Internet. The Sakurajima Kendo Alliance will only update it every one or two years. It is a must-see video for all newcomers learning kendo in Sakurajima.

Jiang Xu tried to follow the video to learn, but did not develop skills.

Reminiscent of the previous cooking skills, it only appeared after seeing Aoba's actual operation many times.

Jiang Xu thinks that the system's judgment may be based on seeing someone teach it with his own eyes.

Now, though, there seems to be an opportunity.

"Senior Fujisaka, since you got the video during the vacation, you should be very clear about the changes this time. Can you show it? It's best to go through it from the first movement. We also You can see where the gap is between you and your predecessors."

"Well, yes."

Fujisaka thought for a while and agreed to Jiang Xu's suggestion.

It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to show off his strength as a senior in front of this group of juniors.

There is no weak person who can stay in the Kendo club and become the main candidate.

You newcomers have to work hard for a whole year!
Since he was only practicing basic moves, Fujisaka didn't warm up. He picked up the bamboo sword and took two steps forward, then turned sideways to several people.

Jiang Xu and the others sat cross-legged on the floor, took out their mobile phones and played the video, watching Fujisaka's movements.

At the beginning of the video on the mobile phone, the segment about promoting kendo ended, and a line of "Sakurajima Kendo Basic Tutorial-Sakurajima Kendo Alliance Announcement" appeared and disappeared.

With a well-proportioned swordsman wearing a kendo uniform and a helmet, who was obviously young, appeared on the screen, and the tutorial officially began.

Several freshmen were a little surprised. The previous editions of the tutorials were guided by some well-known kendo masters, and most of them were elderly.

But this time, not only was it replaced by a young man, he was also unwilling to show his face and indicate his name.

Didn't he know that the figure that can appear in the kendo tutorial video promoted nationwide can leave his name in the history of kendo.

This is the honor that many kendo practitioners can't dream of in their lifetime!

He actually gave up just like that!
But no matter what they think, the video continues to play.

"Standing naturally!"

As soon as the phone rang, Fujisaka's body straightened naturally, looking very natural, without any signs of exertion.

"Standing posture!"

"Hold the sword!"

"Middle section!"

"pace!"

"Swing the sword!"

"Strike!"

As the voice in the mobile phone rang one after another.

The figure in the screen and Fujisaka outside the screen are both making the same movements simultaneously.

However, the more they watched, the stranger the gazes of Jiang Xu and the others became. In the end, they even only glanced at Fujisaka before immediately returning to the mobile phone video.

In fact, if you only look at Fujisaka's movements, they are also very standard, every movement is injected with strength and looks imposing.

It belongs to the kind that beginners will want to quickly reach the same level as soon as they see it, and then show it to their friends to be handsome.

But, compared with the figure in the video.

It looks extremely clumsy and stiff.

Although they are all the same movements, the figures in the video are extremely freehand and natural, as if these kendo moves are walking, eating, drinking, and flipping hands into instinctive movements.

The bamboo sword danced, and there was a faint sense of soft beauty between the sharpness and sharpness.

Turning and shifting, like a butterfly fluttering, dexterity and astonishing speed are taken into account.

All his movements, from the beginning to the end, are like calligraphy that flows smoothly and in one go.

Jiang Xu is sure that this series of actions is all in one place, except for the subtitles, there is no extra editing in the later stage.

With the final sword salute, the video ends.

Jiang Xu let out a long breath, as if watching a wonderful and gorgeous dance, people were so absorbed that they even forgot to breathe.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, his eyes flashed, and he said "system" silently in his heart.

The Xudan page unfolded quickly, and Jiang Xu directly flipped to the skill bar, seeing the new words appearing inside, he couldn't help but smile.

Kendo - Beginner (5%)

Finally got started.

This also means that as long as he has enough victory points, Jiang Xu can quickly improve his swordsmanship to the point where it is stronger than the original owner.

At least until the next big realm, there is no need to worry about bottlenecks.

His biggest goal of joining the Kendo Club was actually accomplished on the first day.

Does that mean that there is no need for the Kendo Club anymore?
Jiang Xu rubbed his chin, thinking seriously.

It is estimated that the entire kendo club did not expect that someone would want to sneak out on the first day.

In the past, even if someone couldn't hold on, he would force himself to last for a few more days before giving up.

There is absolutely no thinking about slipping on the first day.
