Back at the gym, Busujima Saeko's mood became increasingly confusing. After much hesitation, she dialed her father's overseas number and reported her situation to him.
It may be difficult to say "love", but Busujima Saeko's father is definitely the most respected and important person for Busujima Saeko. There is no one of them. Such a big thing happened to her, and the education she received since she was a child made her There was no way she could lie to her father.
The hesitation before was just about how to explain, but the determination to explain was made early in the morning.
After telling her father everything, Busujima Saeko was like a criminal waiting for trial, with a heavy heart and great pressure.
"Oh, that's how it is……"
The expected scolding did not come, Busujima Saeko's father just replied lightly.
"Father, I seem to have embarked on the path of killing swords..."
Busujima Saeko was afraid that her father might not understand what she just said, so she emphasized it again.
"You will eventually embark on the path of killing swords. I already knew this. The only thing I didn't expect was that it would be so fast."
Busujima Saeko's father's answer surprised Busujima Saeko.
"However, our Busujima-style swordsmanship is a living sword. If I take the path of murderous swords, it will tarnish the reputation of our Busujima-style swordsmanship!"
Busujima Saeko said excitedly.
Busujima Saeko, who grew up with the glory of Busujima-style swordsmanship since childhood, values the reputation of Busujima-style swordsmanship more seriously than her life.
The Busujima family is a famous swordsman family with a brilliant reputation. If Busujima Saeko lets this glory be tarnished because of her, Busujima Saeko will be the first one not to forgive herself.
The person on the phone was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "But, what if the Busujima style swordsmanship is originally a murder sword?"
Busujima Saeko was shocked. The swordsmanship he had practiced for more than ten years was actually a murder sword?
Busujima Saeko's father continued: "Eighty years ago, Busujima style swordsmanship was a famous killing sword in Japan, and in that era, killing swords were the mainstream."
Isn't this the same as Yagyu Isuken?
Busujima Saeko suddenly had this thought in his mind.
Although Yagyu Yoshikou killed countless people, he never felt pleasure when killing those people. The only one who could make him excited and excited was Yan Beifei!
Have I lost my mind?
At the serious moment when his father was speaking, he actually thought of the manga, and Busujima Saeko wished he could hit himself on the head a few times.
As for what her father said, Busujima Saeko also knew about this history. Her senior brothers and sisters in the Busujima style had mentioned this matter to her, but none of them were as specific as her father.
And Busujima Saeko remembered that the samurai who were ordered to go to the Central Plains seemed to have a very bad end. Most of them stayed in the Central Plains forever, with no bones left. The occasional ones who were still alive were left with lifelong disabilities and could only Be a loser.
Those warriors can be said to be the essence of the practitioners of the Japanese Killing Sword and Killing Fist. It is precisely because of the loss of this essence that the Killing Sword and Killing Fist has been unable to hold its head high in the Japanese martial arts world today.
The well-preserved Busujima style took advantage of the situation when the Japanese martial arts world lost half of its power, and officially entered the forefront of the Japanese martial arts world. Many people once praised the wise decision of Busujima Saeko's great-grandfather.
"Although he was not ordered to go to the Central Plains, in fact, my grandfather went to the Central Plains in a private capacity."
Busujima Saeko's father suddenly revealed a different history than Busujima Saeko knew.
"Huh?"
Busujima Saeko couldn't help but express surprise, and then quickly apologized - the Busujima family's family motto is that elders are not allowed to make strange noises when speaking.
Busujima Saeko's father understood Busujima Saeko's surprise and just scolded him lightly.
Although I understand, I still have to reprimand. This is the most basic gesture as a father.
After the reprimand, Busujima Saeko's father continued: "At that time, my grandfather's practice had reached a bottleneck. Although he was unwilling to be called to be an accomplice of the military massacre, he was very eager to fight against the masters of the Central Plains. After hearing that A young swordsman with extraordinary swordsmanship appeared in the Central Plains. After killing many famous warriors in Japan, he couldn't help but want to challenge him in order to achieve a breakthrough."
"The results of it?"
Busujima Saeko asked nervously, and at the same time thought of Yagyu Ikken, who also went to the Central Plains to seek a breakthrough.
She vaguely guessed the result, but she didn't want to believe it. She had a hunch that this was the opportunity for Busujima-style swordsmanship to change from a killing sword to a living sword. She would not think that Busujima-style swordsmanship changed from a killing sword to cater to the changes of the times. Transformed into a living sword, no one in the Busujima family is so adaptable, and if this were the case, his father would not talk so much to Busujima Saeko.
"Failed, and it was a disastrous defeat!"
Busujima Saeko's father's promise was not what Busujima Saeko had expected, but Busujima Saeko still couldn't help biting her gums.
"Although the Central Plains swordsman defeated his grandfather, he did not take his life because his grandfather had never killed his compatriots in the Central Plains. Instead, he made his grandfather swear an oath never to kill anyone in the Central Plains, nor to set foot in the Central Plains again. .”
Busujima Saeko's father's tone also revealed deep disappointment.
The failure of Busujima style swordsmanship made their father and daughter feel the same way.
"My grandfather returned to Japan after making an oath. In order to fulfill his promise, he devoted himself to training for forty years and changed the Busujima-style swordsmanship from the killing sword to the living sword. However, the root of the Busujima-style swordsmanship is the killing sword, and the living sword is made of leather. , The murderous sword is made of bone, so if you practice Busujima style swordsmanship, you may be in danger of slipping into the murderous sword if you are not careful."
"However, the murderous sword is the essence of the Busujima-style swordsmanship! Saeko, you have had murderous tendencies since you were a child. I have noticed this early on. For me, the Busujima-style swordsmanship, people like you are rare in a hundred years." You see Yicai! In the past, I was afraid of affecting your growth, so I kept it secret from you. But now, since you have understood the murderous sword in my Busujima style swordsmanship on your own, it doesn't matter, just keep practicing. "
Busujima Saeko felt relieved. She actually didn't care much about the killing sword and the living sword. What she really cared about was whether she had betrayed the Busujima style. Since the Busujima style swordsmanship was originally a killing sword, then she would not care about it. The killing sword is no longer repulsive.
"But, Father, people in the world are very prejudiced against killing swords. If I practice killing swords, will it damage the reputation of Busujima Ryu?"
Busujima Saeko no longer rejects the killing sword, but the reputation of the killing sword in Japan is really bad, especially now that it is a peaceful age, it is even harder for the killing sword to survive.
"Do you think that my Busujima family is the only one practicing the murder sword?" Busujima Saeko's father's sarcastic voice came, surprising Busujima Saeko again.
"The concept of the living sword originated from Yagyu Sogan of the Shinin-ryu. Since Yagyu Shinin-ryu became the royal swordsmanship instructor, some other schools also mixed the concept of the living sword into their own schools in order to cater to the royal family. This resulted in This led to the great rise of the living sword."
"However, when it comes to actual combat, the killing sword is definitely more powerful than the living sword. Therefore, even now, the major schools that hold high the banner of the living sword are privately teaching the killing sword, but if they are not direct disciples, It will not be taught easily. The same is true for our Busujima style. Except for you Tanaka Takayanagi and several other senior brothers, I have not taught any of the Busujima family’s murderous swords to any other disciples.”
"The reason why the murder sword is rejected is that more than thirty years ago, there were many bloody conflicts between warriors in Japan, and many civilians were injured, which caused a rise in anti-military sentiment in the country. The martial arts community had nothing to do Therefore, all the blame can only be put on the 'murderous sword', and the murderous sword began to be officially banned. This is why all the major schools circulating today call themselves living swords."
This was another piece of secret news. Busujima Saeko heard it and felt relieved. It turned out that she was not practicing the killing sword alone. This made Busujima Saeko feel more relaxed.
But Busujima Saeko was only relieved for a moment. Busujima Saeko's father's words made Busujima Saeko's heart tighten again.
I heard Busujima Saeko's father continue: "But Saeko, you are born with a murderous nature. I should have officially taught you the murderous sword after you became a great swordsman and understood the secrets of 'God'. Your spiritual cultivation is still shallow now. If you practice killing swords rashly, if the murderous intention cannot be released in time, you may be dominated by the killing intention instead. So, Saeko, you should go and apply for suspension of school tomorrow."
"Father...Father, what about my daughter's studies?" Busujima Saeko said with panic. At this moment, what flashed in her mind was Yan Kai's comics, uh, and a corner of Yan Kai.
If I drop out of school, I will never see Yan Kai’s comics again...
Busujima Saeko really can’t let go of Yankai-san’s comics.
Busujima Saeko's father was a little surprised as to why his daughter started to care about her studies. Her grades were only average, she had no friends in school, and the boys at school only thought they were childish...
Busujima Saeko's father really couldn't think of anything in school that Busujima Saeko would miss.
But even if there is anything worth remembering, it is nothing compared to practicing swordsmanship. Busujima Saeko's father directly made the decision for Busujima Saeko, and he has always been like this anyway.
"For the people of my Busujima family, academic studies don't matter at all. After you finish withdrawing from school tomorrow, go directly to your senior sister Takayanagi's gym and ask her to help you stabilize your murderous intention when needed. You don't have a systematic study. If you don’t know how to control the murderous intention, your mind will easily be dominated by the murderous intention. I will come back after I have taken care of my affairs, and then I will personally teach you the secrets of the Busushima Furi Murderous Sword!"
Busujima Saeko's father began to arrange everything.
"But, Father, what will happen to your gym abroad? Without you in charge, the gym with its unstable foundation will not be able to operate at all!" Busujima Saeko was even more surprised when she heard that her father was coming back.
Overseas deployment is currently the most important business strategy of the Busujima Ryu Gym, but according to what his father said, it seems that he wants to give up overseas gyms and abandon the layout that Busujima Ryu has established over the years.
"Idiot! Your training is the top priority of my Busujima style!"
Busujima Saeko's father yelled at Busujima Saeko loudly for the first time today.
