Chapter 11 : Meeting kuina
Really.
Blaze thought.
Unexpectedly, the first person he met here was the target he planned to meet.
But speaking of...
This arrogant kid has a very different personality from the green-haired swordsman in the future.
"Hey, what's your name? I don't seem to have seen you before. Are you from outside?"
Little Zoro was very arrogant even when he asked questions.
"My name is Blaze and I am a traveler."
Blaze smiled.
"Pfft!"
Little Zoro covered his mouth and smiled, "Traveler?! Hahahaha! I think you are about the same age as me, so you say that you are a traveler, hahahaha!"
He burst into laughter till tears fall from his eyes.
Blaze didn't care.
After all, in his current appearance, it is a bit funny to say that he is a traveler.
After little Zoro laughed and wiped away his tears, he looked at Blaze and said, "Since you said you are a traveler, why do you have to carry a sword?"
"I'm a traveler. It's reasonable to put a sword on my back to defend myself."
Blaze smiled.
"Uh...it seems reasonable."
Little Zoro scratched his head.
"So your sword is a real one? Can you let me a hold it for a while?"
He still didn't forget this one.
Blaze shook his head: "No."
"Why?"
"Because it will be very troublesome to arrange it on my back again."
Blaze said solemnly.
The little Zoro with a green seaweed head was completely stunned.
Because of this?
Isn't it easy to take it off and put it on your back?
What reason is this?
After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and Blaze in front of him was already far away.
He hurried to catch up and said, "I think you just don't want to lend me a touch, so you just found an excuse, right, petty!"
"no."
Actually it is.
Blaze just wants to mess with zoro cause he won't get chances like this in future.
After all in the future zoro himself will have three great grade swords : wado ichimonji, Shusui and Enma.
"tch...okay okay I don't want to touch it anymore. My sword will definitely be better than yours in the future and there will be more than yours!"
Little Zoro hugged the back of his head and said.
"I want to use two, no, three! Use three swords to become the most powerful swordsman in the world!"
Blaze couldn't help but glanced at him beside him.
"Have you learned swordsmanship?"
"No, not yet, what's the matter?"
Little Zoro was stunned when he asked, "But I heard that there is a kendo dojo there, I plan to challenge it later."
Blaze glanced in the direction he was pointing.
"Sword Hall, over there..."
He smiled at Zoro: "Thanks for showing the way, then we will see each other next time in that dojo."
"Huh? Are you going now?..."
Before little Zoro finished speaking, he saw the black-haired boy who looked about his size rushing towards the dojo at an amazing speed.
Little Zoro scratched his head:
"What a weird guy."
......
In the middle of the night, snow fell from the sky.
Inside the Kendo Hall, the lights are still bright.
A girl with short blue hair wearing a white exercise suit is holding a bamboo sword in both hands and is still doing vertical chopping again and again.
"Kuina, it's late, let's finish it for today."
Koushirou wearing glasses walked into the hall.
"Father, I'll take a rest after I practice a little more. You go and rest first."
Kuina doesn't look like she will leave any time soon.
"Okay, then I will go to rest first. You also rest early."
"Okay."
After Koushirou left, Kuina continued to swing vertically again and again.
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!"
Kuina put down the bamboo sword, leaning on her knees and gasping, her arms were already too heavy to lift.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.
"It's late today, the dojo is closed, please come back tomorrow."
Kuina said.
There was no sound outside the door.
"It's so late, there are still people coming to the dojo."
Kuina was little curious so she walked to the door, opened it gently and looked out.
There was heavy snow in the sky.
In the courtyard outside the dojo, a black-haired strange boy sat cross-legged on the grass with his eyes closed and a long white sheath sword on his knee.
A lot of snow has accumulated on his head and body.
"No, is he planning to stay here all night like this?"
Kuina's eyes widened slightly.
She opened the door, walked over to the black-haired boy, looked at him and said:
"You will freeze to death like this."
"No, I won't."
The boy did not look up, nor did his eyes open.
"Why?"
Kuina was curious.
Blaze raised his head, opened his eyes then looked at the short blue-haired girl in front of him and smiled: "Because I don't want to die."
Kuina couldn't understand what he was talking about.
As long as it is a person, sleeping in the snow on such a cold day will definitely freeze to death. What does it have to do with whether you want to die or not?
She didn't want to say anything, just grabbed the hand of the black-haired boy in front of him and pulled him towards the dojo:
"Although I don't know why you are here, I can't just watch you freeze to death in front of my dojo. Tonight, you can sleep in the dojo."
Blaze didn't refuse and followed her into the dojo.
"Kuina, what happened?"
At this time, Koushirou heard the movement and came out to check, just in time to see Kuina pulling Blaze in.
"Kuina, is this?"
"Father, this boy was going to sleep in the courtyard of the dojo. I saw it was snowing outside, so I pulled him in."
Kuina looked at Koushirou.
"Sleeping outside on such a cold day..."
Koushirou looked at Blaze in surprise.
What's going on with the children nowadays, is it fatal?
"Father, I plan to let him stay... what is your name?"
"Blaze."
"I plan to let Blaze stay in our dojo for one night, do you think it's okay?"
Kuina looked at Koushirou and asked.
"Okay , there's lot of room anyway..."
Koushirou was about to agree, but before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the long white scabbard in the hand of the black-haired boy.
He was taken aback for a moment then his face was shocked.
"White sheath, golden thunder pattern, this sword...could it be?!"
"Father?"
Kuina was a little confused and didn't understand what happened to Koushirou.
At this moment, the black-haired boy named Blaze next to her took the long sword and walked forward a few steps.
He looked at Koushirou and said something that surprised Kuina.
"The name of the sword is Raikiri. I would like to ask the curator about swordsmanship with this sword."
"Sure enough, it is this sword. Legend has it that this sword hasn't appeared in the world for hundreds of years. I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime."
Koushirou's eyes were eager.
He looked at Blaze: "You came here to challenge me?"
"To be precise, I would like to ask you to teach me swordsmanship about the realm of steel cutting. Along with that I also came to challenge you "
Blaze looked at Koushirou and said seriously.
But he didn't notice that Kuina behind him heard the words, her eyes widened slightly.
"Hahaha, the realm of steel cutting, it's not that easy to step into that realm. It takes a long time to reach it and there's two realm before it."
Koushirou stroked his smooth chin and smiled.
He really likes to see one after another young juniors who are chasing the swordsman's way.
This dojo was also established for this.
"Since you are here to challenge, then I have to accept it but before challenging me, you still have to compete with my daughter, Kuina. Don't look at her as a girl, her strength is actually not any lower to the adults."
Koushirou smiled and pointed to Kuina and said.
