Section 23

Ron was doing push-ups with three fingers on one hand in the backyard, drops of sweat dripping down the tip of his nose.

"Ron."

Koushiro came from the corridor, saw him and said, "Have you seen Kuina?"

"She seems to have gone to the waterfall to practice her sword."

Ron replied.

"Director, do you have anything to do with her?"

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that some new disciples have come to the Taoist temple, and I want her to help teach them."

Koushiro said.

Ron thought for a while, put some force with his fingers, stood up and looked at him and said, "How about I go."

"That really helped."

Koushiro was overjoyed.

Then Ron followed Koushiro to the front yard gym, where many children around the age of seven or eight had already arrived, making a lot of noise.

Some of them had already picked up their bamboo swords and started playing around.

Koushiro coughed twice.

When some children saw him, they immediately became quiet and shouted in unison:

"Hello, curator."

Some of the other children looked curious.

"Hello."

Koushiro looked at the children with a smile and said.

"Some of you are new disciples. Welcome to this Isshin Gym. I am the director here, Shigetsuki Koushiro. Here I will be responsible for teaching you swordsmanship and training you to become a determined swordsman."

…

When Koushiro introduced the dojo to the new disciples.

Several children looked at Ron standing next to Koushiro with some curiosity.

After Koushiro finished speaking, he smiled at everyone and said, "Ron will be the one to spar with you next."

Ron took a step forward with his bamboo sword in hand.

He glanced at the children, but didn't see the guy with the green algae head.

"Isn't it here yet..."

He thought to himself.

"Eh? Isn't it Kuina who is practicing swordsmanship with us?"

A child was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Ron, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "Your name is Ron, right? My name is Umi. I have been studying in this gym for two years. How long have you been here?"

"About three months."

Ron said.

"Huh? Only three months?!"

The kid named Wumi opened his mouth wide with a look of surprise, and then he grinned, "You've only been here three months, can you be my sparring partner?"

The other children also looked at Ron with suspicion.

Ron's face was calm.

"Let's do this, Umi."

Koushiro looked at the child named Umi and smiled: "Don't you like my real sword very much? You and Ron have a sparring match. As long as you can force Ron to take a step back, I will use that sword." For you."

"real?!"

Umi's face was full of surprise. When he saw Koushiro nodding with a smile, he was extremely excited and looked at Ron with enthusiasm: "Okay!"

Inside the Taoist temple.

Koushiro and a group of children knelt on the ground, looking at Ron and Umi who were holding bamboo swords.

Wumi looked at the calm-looking Ron opposite, feeling a little nervous for no reason, and her palms were sweating.

He shook his head:

"Isn't it just to force you to take a step back? This new guy can't be as powerful as Kuina."

After cheering yourself up.

He shouted, raised his bamboo sword and rushed towards Ron quickly.

The next second.

Snap! A sound.

The bamboo sword was knocked away, and Wu Mi flew backwards.

Wumi, who fell heavily to the ground, stared blankly at the ceiling with a confused look on her face.

What's wrong?

what happened?

Why did I fly out?

The children around him were also shocked.

"What just happened?"

"Did he draw his sword?"

"No, I didn't see it clearly at all..."

The smiling Koushiro picked up the tea and took a sip, thinking in his heart:

It's clean and neat, what a beautiful sword.

Speaking of which, has the speed of his sword become faster?

"It's not over yet!"

Wumi couldn't accept it, so she immediately got up, grabbed the bamboo sword on the ground and rushed towards Ron.

Snap!

"It hurts! No, it's not over yet!"

Snap!

…

After a while.

Wumi, whose hair was covered with bruises, was lying on the ground in a large font, with a face full of sorrow and despair.

"How... could it be... so strong?!"

The other children looked at Ron, whose clothes were not even messed up, with awe on their faces.

"I'm going back first."

Ron said to Koushiro.

Koushiro nodded with a smile.

After he left, Umi immediately got up and asked Koushiro:

"Director, has that guy really only been here three months?!"

"yes."

"How old is he?"

"Listen to him, he seems to be 9 years old this year, one year younger than Kuina."

Koushiro thought for a while and said.

"Same year as me..."

Umi was a little desperate.

"Haha, don't be so depressed."

Koushiro stood up and smiled: "After all, even Kuina is no match for him."

Wu Mi was startled for a moment, then:

"Eh??? Can Kuina not be able to defeat him?!"

He opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Well, when Kuina first came here, he knocked the bamboo sword out of her hand with two swords. Although she has become a lot stronger now, she should be able to take one or two of his moves."

Koushiro said while drinking tea.

"Nani?!!!"
