Chapter 424 Crying children are fed by milk

Looking at the extremely serious expression of the young man in front of her, Ikenami Shizuka recalled the scene when she taught Hattori Heiji in the past, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility in her heart.

She coughed lightly and said, "Before learning kendo, Hanyu, you must first understand the spirit and etiquette of kendo."

"Master, please speak." Hanyu Kusunoki pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Kendo focuses on the unity of mind, skills and body. It requires a firm will, superb skills and a strong body."

Ikeba Shizuka told the story slowly and leisurely.

Hanyu Kusunoki nodded as he listened, "Master, I remember it."

"In addition, when practicing kendo, you must respect your opponent, respect yourself, and respect kendo itself."

Ikebo Shizuka continued to explain patiently.

"Yes, Master, I promise you that I will respect you!"

Hanyu Kusunoki responded without hesitation, and silently added in his heart: I will never do such a treasonous thing as betraying my teacher and ancestors.

"That's good. Master always believes that you can do it..."

Ikeha Shizuka smiled faintly, her eyes swept over Hanyu Kusunoki's tall body, and after a slight hesitation, she raised the wooden sword in her hand, "I give you this sword as a gift from your teacher."

This wooden sword is the training sword she has been using since she first started practicing kendo. To her, it has an extremely extraordinary and irreplaceable significance.

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely cherish this sword!"

Hanyu Kusunoki took the sword with both hands and turned it flexibly in his hands.

There are words engraved on the handles of both sides of the wooden sword, one side is engraved with "Chi Bo" and the other side is engraved with "Jing Hua". The fonts are elegant and graceful, as if you can feel the elegant and refined temperament of the person who engraved the words through these words.

"Then let's start practicing now."

Seeing the boy's happy expression, the slight reluctance in Ikeba Jinghua's heart disappeared, and she took him to a relatively open place.

After arriving at the place, Ikebo Shizuka stopped, turned around and faced Hanyu Kusunoki, and said seriously: "First, you have to stand in the right position, with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, and your body's center of gravity must be kept stable."

After saying that, she began to demonstrate the movements herself.

Ikeba Jinghua flicked her wrist, her expression changed, and she was in a ready stance in an instant. The belt hanging around her waist swayed gently with the movement of her body, and her peerless face was full of the demeanor of a master.

"Master is so handsome!"

Hanyu Kusunoki immediately clapped and cheered.

Chi Bo Jinghua rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said, "Don't just stand there and watch. Hurry up and do what I'm saying."

"okay!"

Hanyu Kusunoki responded with a smile, and quickly imitated her movements, posing in a slightly unfamiliar posture.

"No, the position of the fingers needs to be adjusted again."

Ikeba Shizuka frowned slightly and instantly entered the role of a master.

The gentleness and tranquility just now receded like the tide, and what was revealed now was only seriousness and earnestness.

"Is it like this?"

Hanyu Kusunoki did as he was told, with a very correct attitude, but his posture was always missing that crucial point.

It’s not that you can’t learn it, but that there is no need to.

"Wrong! You must keep your center of gravity steady!"

Despite several corrections, it still failed.

Seeing this, Ikenami Shizuka said no more and stepped forward, stretched out her warm and slender hands, and personally helped Hanyu Kusunoki adjust his posture.

She explained softly, "You have to use this much force on your fingers, and keep your wrists flexible at all times..."

At the same time, he carefully pressed on Hanyu Kusunoki's palm with his fingertips, like threading a needle, guiding him little by little to hold the sword steadily in his hand.

Under such careful guidance, the boy quickly mastered the correct sword-holding posture.

However, before she had time to feel happy, as soon as her hand loosened, the boy's body shifted again.

Ikebo Shizuka: "..."

She felt as if she had accepted a stupid apprentice.

Hanyu Nan seemed to sense her emotions, turned around and said pitifully: "Master, am I really stupid..."

Chi Bo Jinghua looked at his pitiful appearance, and vaguely seemed to see how she was when she first started learning swordsmanship. Her heart softened immediately, and she said gently: "Don't let your imagination run wild. It's always like this when you first start learning. As long as you are willing to study wholeheartedly, you will definitely be able to learn it well."

"really?"

Hanyu Kusunoki's eyes sparkled and her face was full of anticipation.

"Really? Master didn't teach me well before. Come, stand up again."

Ikenami Shizuka nodded heavily, walked forward, and walked around Hanyu Kusunoki carefully.

After determining what the apprentice had not done well, she came behind him and gently pressed his waist to help him straighten his chest.

Then, Ikenami Shizuka took a small step forward, slightly turned sideways, and quietly stretched out her delicate hand from behind, gently holding the warm back of Hanyu Kusunoki's hand.

Then, she stood on tiptoe, rested her fair chin on his broad shoulder, opened her red lips and said softly, "Yes, that's it. Maintain this position and don't move. Next, follow my movements and slowly raise the sword. Remember, your movements must be steady and you must not rush..."

Her graceful figure was pressed against Hanyu Kusunoki's back, a slightly intimate behavior. Perhaps because of the friendly aura of the boy, she did not think there was anything wrong with it and just concentrated on teaching.

"Slow down, and adjust your breathing rhythm."

As Ikenami Shizuka spoke, she held Hanyu Kusunoki's arm with her other hand, guiding him to make the correct movements.

"Yes, I understand. Master, you are so kind!"

Hanyu Kusunoki squinted his eyes comfortably, a pleasant and fresh scent lingered in his nose, and a strand of silky black hair inadvertently fell on his cheek, gently caressing it and bringing a subtle itchy sensation.

Sure enough, only the crying child gets the milk.

Ikebo Jinghua noticed the strange gaze from the side and turned her head away. The breaths of the two people intertwined with each other. She glared at him and scolded him, "Why are you looking at me? Focus on the sword!"

"Okay!"

Hanyu Kusunoki grinned and withdrew his admiring gaze.

Ikeba Shizuka also continued to provide hands-on guidance.

The master and the disciple, one in front and one behind, one holding the sword and the other holding the hand, began to train without distraction.
