Pirate Codex

"My name is Klaue Ulysses. I am the ninth generation disciple of Wuxin-ryu Kendo and the senior brother here. Master is going out to visit friends today. I will make arrangements for you."

Wuxinliu's senior brother, Crow Ulysses, led the way while introducing himself.

"Arthur Roberts"

Arthur nodded, smiled and said, "Just call me Arthur."

Seeing his eyes turning to Edward again, he introduced with a smile: "His name is Brown Edward."

Ulysses nodded, and several famous swordsmen from the Western Sea flashed through his mind. None of them came from any discipline of swordsmanship, so he asked Arthur about their apprenticeship:

"Your master is"

Arthur rolled his eyes and turned to look at Edward. After pondering for a moment, he started to make nonsense:

"I learned from Laurent Fiona, a sixth-generation disciple of Judgment Swordsmanship. She left after teaching me, saying she wanted to continue traveling."

"Edward is my partner and my disciple. He can be regarded as the seventh generation disciple of our swordsmanship."

Arthur paused for a moment, then made up the reason why he came to ask for swordsmanship:

"The main reason is that the teacher left after teaching. I have been practicing swordsmanship behind closed doors, so I don't know my own strength very well, so I wanted to communicate with my kendo colleagues."

Hearing this, not only Crow Ulysses, but also Osvid turned his head and looked at Arthur in surprise.

At such a young age, he is already qualified to accept disciples

You must know that in various kendo schools, only those who are successful in learning swordsmanship and at least become a swordsman with considerable strength can be allowed by the teacher and be allowed to recruit the next generation of disciples.

Among the disciples of their Wuxinliu generation, even senior brother Ulysses does not yet have the right to recruit disciples.

Osvid remembered his defeat just now and nodded involuntarily. That's it. No wonder I am not his enemy with one move.

Even Ulysses couldn't help but look a little more cautious in his eyes.

but

Laurent Fiona a swordswoman

Ulysses pondered the information revealed in Arthur's words and shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

I've never heard of it. Could it be some hidden kendo?

The world is a big place. Although the existence of news birds allows some important news to be spread, if a swordsman decides to keep a low profile, it is not difficult to not show his reputation.

As for the reason why he quit the gym, Ulysses also agrees. Only through battle can he clearly understand his own strength.

Ulysses shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He just led the way and planned the next game.

Not long after, the two of them, Arthur, followed Ulysses, the senior brother of Wu Xin Liu, to a courtyard of the gym.

In the courtyard is a large open-air training ground, where many people are training on two sides.

On one side were more than a dozen children wearing white kendo uniforms and holding bamboo swords. They were following the slogans of a young man and repeating chopping movements in a precise manner.

On the other side were eight young men also wearing kendo uniforms and holding bamboo swords. They were divided into four groups and doing 1v1 combat exercises. An older-looking man was guiding them with his hands behind his back. Watching them.

Arthur did not look at the children's basic exercises, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the four groups of teenagers who were sparring.

The teenagers attacked each other with fierce force, and the crisp sounds of bamboo knives continued one after another. From time to time, someone was hit in the body and let out a muffled cry of pain.

In Arthur's eyes, there are still many flaws in the teenagers' attacks, and the physical exertion and the connection between moves are not perfect.

However, based on the use of its sword moves, the characteristics of Wushin-ryu Kendo can still be seen.

Focusing on offense and insufficient defense, this is the conclusion Arthur drew based on what he has seen so far.

Edward, who was standing behind Arthur, was also observing the young men's sparring, with his palms raised like swords from time to time, silently deducing in his mind.

Since half a month ago, Edward and the others, who have mastered basic sword moves, have also begun to study and research sword moves after experiencing life-and-death battles with pirates.

While looking at the young men sparring and reasoning in his mind, Edward gradually became immersed in the practice of sword moves.

"Over there are the bamboo swords and wooden swords we use for training. You can choose one."

Ulysses reached out to the pile of bamboo knives and wooden swords stacked on the wall of the hall and said to the two Arthurs.

Arthur turned his head, nodded, then patted Edward, who was in a daze, and stepped forward with him to pick out the wooden sword.

Seeing that both of them had picked their wooden swords, Ulysses stretched out his big, calloused hands, clapped his hands, and called to stop the training.

"Everyone stop, Angus, please continue."

The kid who was chopping hard had just relaxed. He stretched out his little arms and legs to relax his body. He tilted his head and looked at the unfamiliar Arthurs curiously.

Then at Teacher Angus's greeting, he pouted, picked up the bamboo knife again, and started chopping.

Ulysses' eyes were on an orange-haired boy who was sparring.

"Ryan, come out for a moment."

"It's senior brother"

The orange-haired boy smiled apologetically at his bruised opponent, then came to Ulysses and bowed respectfully.

This is a young man with orange hair and orange eyes, and a sunny smile. At first glance, he makes people feel very friendly.

Arthur nodded, and this was what he noticed. The most talented young sparring boy, compared to the bruises all over his opponent's body, the only two bruises on Ryan's body seemed very dazzling.

Ulysses turned his head, his square face somewhat complacent.

"This is Ryan Ryan. He has been learning swordsmanship for 5 years. Ryan can be said to be the most talented disciple of our generation."

Arthur nodded. Judging from his performance in sparring just now, Ryan could already be considered a good swordsman.

However, Arthur could still tell that he must have been studying in the gym and had not experienced the test of life and death, so there was a lack of vitality in his body.

"Edward, he is your opponent."

Arthur turned to greet Edward. Ryan's level was not a challenge for him, but for Edward, such an opponent was just right.

Ryan is stronger than Edward, but within an acceptable range, just enough to hone Edward's sword skills.

Ulysses squinted his eyes, glanced at Arthur, who had a normal expression, and then looked at Edward behind him, who was eager to try, but said nothing.

Seeing the strength of his disciples is also a kind of trial.

Ryan smiled slightly, with a look of expectation in his eyes, and looked at the red-haired boy behind Arthur who was also looking forward to it.
