My Gang of Swordsmen

Chapter 662: Chapter 9: Aoto’s Little Fangirls

Although he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, at this moment, Aoto just didn’t want to do anything that would damage his reputation or face.

”Please instruct me!” Aoto shouted loudly in a voice as spirited as Yamen’s.

...

...

The entrance of Yamen, this long-established elder, pushed the atmosphere of the dojo to a new peak.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone’s expectant gaze, after completing the crouching salute towards each other, Aoto and Yamen both held their bamboo swords in front of them in the middle stance.

This new duel... or rather, this battle that was no longer simply against the ”Sazanoko Pursuer Corps”, began with a loud stomp!

”Haah!”

Yamen stomped his back foot violently, and charged at Aoto like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Aoto calmly held the bamboo sword horizontally in front of him—

Clash!

Their bamboo swords collided fiercely in mid-air.

The Beichen One-Sword Style is a swordsmanship that highly emphasizes skill.

The ”skill-focused” characteristics of the Beichen One-Sword Style, the power it should have, were all fully displayed under Yamen’s sword, who had the Master of All Techniques in Beichen One-Sword Style!

”Haah!”

With delicate technique, Yamen directed the force from Aoto’s bamboo sword sideways, breaking Aoto’s frontal defense, and then chopped fiercely at Aoto’s face again. However, Aoto managed to pull his sword back in front in time and blocked Yamen’s cut.

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash...

Only to see their bamboo swords repeatedly separate and collide in mid-air.

Every attack from Yamen was filled with sophisticated techniques that only insiders could see clearly.

The dojo, originally somewhat noisy, now became much quieter, and the noisy female apprentices also quieted down.

Everyone held their breath, watching the intense battle on the field very seriously.

Different...

Everyone keenly sensed—Aoto and Yamen’s battle was on a completely different level from any of the previous matches!

”...Brother Shigetarou, do you think Mr. Tachibana can keep winning like this?”

Watching Yamen, who was fighting fiercely with Aoto on the field, Chiba Domon Shiro asked Chiba Shigetarou suddenly.

”If he eventually loses... then your idea of having Mr. Tachibana help discipline some of the senior apprentices in the dojo might fall through.”

”Well...” A profound smile slowly appeared on Chiba Shigetarou’s face, ”Brother Tadomaru, since I’m daring enough to let Mr. Tachibana continue fighting, I naturally have great confidence in Mr. Tachibana’s abilities.”

”The progress of Mr. Tachibana’s abilities is truly astonishing.”

”With Mr. Tachibana’s current strength...”

As Chiba Shigetarou spoke, a peculiar expression surfaced on his face, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.

”Currently, in the entire Little Chiba Sword Dojo, the only one who can surely defeat Mr. Tachibana... should be Father.”

Once again, I failed to burst-update today... I’m crying (leopard head wailing.jpg)

What’s going on these days... Why are there so many unexpected situations... It’s either guests visiting or guests visiting... It turns out that expecting burst-update during the holidays is unrealistic... (leopard collapse.jpg) If I could succeed with a 10k word burst-update today, today’s Chapter could have been very complete in terms of plot, but now it’s a bit neither here nor there... (leopard collapse.jpg)

Although the burst-update failed again today, I’m shamelessly asking for monthly votes, these next two days are the last double monthly vote time! If you don’t vote now, you’ll have to wait until New Year’s Day for double monthly votes!
