Immediately afterwards... he reached into his arms and took out a booklet as big as a palm and half a finger thick.

The attendant closest to Ii Naoki took out this booklet when he saw it, and immediately, like a conditioned reflex, took off a small writing brush with a tip soaked in ink from his belt, and a small bamboo tube filled with water.

Ii Naoki took the brush handed by the attendant, put the tip of the brush into the bamboo tube, moistened the dried ink on the tip with the water in the bamboo tube, and turned over the booklet in his palm.

Open it, turn to the still blank page, and with a swipe of brush, write three Chinese characters on it -

Orange Qingden.

Naoki Ii blew gently on the name he had just written on the book. When the ink dried, he closed the book suddenly and took it back into his arms.

"...Sir Daibo." The attendant who just handed over a pen and water to Ii Naobi hesitated, "Are you... planning to recommend that Tachibana Aoden to the Shogun?"

Ii Naobi smiled calmly.

No response.

That day, in the evening——

Ayoto and Saito took advantage of the dusk to return to their current home: the Trial Guard Hall.

When Qingdeng and the others returned, it happened to be the closing time of the Trial Guard Hall.

After passing through the gate and entering the dojo, Qingto saw Okita sitting cross-legged alone on the floor of the dojo, using a rag to wipe the bamboo swords in the sword bucket next to him one by one.

"Okita-kun, we are back!"

"Tachibana-kun, Saito-kun, come back... eh? Tachibana-kun, what's going on with the sword in your hand?"

After noticing the ghosts and gods mentioned in Qingteng's hand, Okita's eyes immediately lit up, he threw away the rag and bamboo sword in his hand, and ran towards Qingteng quickly.

"Oh, this..." Qingden smiled and held the Sekishin in his hand in front of him, and then told Okita what happened today in a concise and concise manner.

Okita was not very interested in the assessment meeting that Qingnobo went through today, nor was he interested in Ii Naoki.

He was only interested in the Dingguishen in Qingdeng's hands.

"Tachibana-kun, can you let me see your new sword?"

"Of course." Qingto handed the Seikijin into Okita's palm.

Okita wiped his palms on his hakama, wiped the sweat from his palms, and then took the knife with both hands.

As soon as he pulled the blade out of its sheath, a surprise jumped out of Okita's eyes.

After completely withdrawing the knife, Okita waved it vigorously into the air in front of him a few times. He then raised his head and looked at the blade of the knife carefully while blinking hard with his eyes that were constantly gleaming with surprise.

"This knife is so powerful!"

——Ah, here comes...Okita-kun's "It's so awesome"...

Aoto silently complained in his heart once again about Okita's lack of vocabulary to the point where he would only use "so awesome" to describe anyone and anything.

"The quality of the iron, its sharpness, its center of gravity...all are amazing."

As Okita continued to speak, he turned the blade of the sword and carefully looked at the extremely curved back of the sword.

"The arc of this knife is larger than that of an ordinary knife, but the blade is not too curved... It is a very suitable knife for performing sword drawing techniques..."

The principle of sword drawing is to use the curvature of the blade and scabbard when drawing the sword to create an instant explosive force, thereby delivering a more powerful and faster slash than swinging the sword directly out of thin air.

Therefore, using a knife with a slightly larger arc can make it easier to perform powerful sword drawing techniques.

"The sword-drawing technique..." Qingdeng laughed dumbly, "It's a pity that our natural spirit-ryu doesn't have the sword-drawing technique."

Okita fully admired the Dingguishen for a while, and then handed the sword back to Qingnobo with a look of reluctance.

"That's great..." Okita sighed, looking enviously at the Jingkishen who had just returned it, "When will I have such a good sword..."

After smiling slightly, Qingdeng said harmoniously: "There will come a day. Maybe someday in the not-too-distant future, you will be able to obtain a great sword that is countless times better than my ability to slay ghosts and gods."

After finishing speaking, Qingden raised his head and glanced at the pile of bamboo knives Okita had just wiped.

"Okita-kun, are there still many people coming to learn swordsmanship today?"

Okita smiled and said, "Today, 8 more people came to our door and expressed their desire to learn our Natural Rishin-ryu style!"

"So many?" Qingdeng couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, then smiled and said, "Then the master's wife will be extremely happy."

"Yes." Okita put his hands on his waist and said with emotion, "Auntie has been so gentle in recent days that I am not used to it..."

In the past few days, the Trial Guard Hall has been very busy - there is an endless stream of people coming to the Trial Guard Hall to learn swordsmanship, which makes everyone in the Trial Guard Hall a little overwhelmed.

Become famous in one battle - this idiom perfectly sums up the state of the trial defense hall these days.

In the "Plum Blossom Festival" a few days ago, under the plum blossom petals flying in the sky, the little-known Shiwei Hall, witnessed by hundreds of spectators, brilliantly defeated the famous Xiaoqianba Sword Hall... This victory

Let the Trial Guard Hall become famous immediately!

Countless people know it - in Kohinagayanagicho, Koishikawa, there is a trial guard hall that teaches Natural Rishin-ryu. This sword hall defeated the small Chiba sword hall in the "Red and White Battle".

The most intuitive impact of the increase in reputation is the increase in the number of apprentices.

Countless people came here in admiration, wanting to become a disciple of the Shiwei Hall and practice the natural Rishin-ryu style that defeated the Little Chiba Sword Hall.

The increase in apprentices means an increase in the income of the training hall.

These days, A Bi, who usually has a bad face, has been extremely gentle...

Especially when dealing with Qingdeng, who was the biggest contributor in helping them win the match at the Tri-Wei Hall, Abi showed a tenderness that even Qingdeng found extremely uncomfortable...
