After Kana Azashiro's training mission was completed, the feedback reward was surprisingly a sword technique.
Many training memories related to the "Haran" sword technique flooded Sora's mind, as if he had really devoted himself to practicing the technique for a period of time.
[Haran (Wave Breaker): The waves flow endlessly. The blade is accompanied by a flowing current, making it difficult to distinguish illusion from reality.]
Combining this with his training memories, Sora realized that "Haran" was not an ordinary sword technique, but one that integrated Kidō! A slash executed with "Haran" carried water splashes like ocean waves, making it difficult for the enemy to discern the true position of the blade, while the water itself also had a damaging effect.
Hearing Kana's happy cheers, Kensei Muguruma and Shinji Hirako stopped their training and came over to congratulate her.
"Kana learned a sword technique so quickly. Professor, when can we learn sword techniques?" Kensei asked.
"Yeah, practicing the basics is so boring," Shinji also expressed his desire to learn.
"Kana's foundation in swordsmanship was already quite good, which is why she completed the basic stage so quickly. You two need to train all the basic stances and footwork into muscle memory. The foundation is the root; you must build it solidly to go further," Sora said with a smile. "However, Kensei's basic training is almost complete. He can proceed to the next stage, but Shinji still needs to practice for a while longer."
Sora glanced at Kensei's training mission, which also showed it was completed. Shinji's was not.
[Guide Kensei Muguruma to complete basic swordsmanship training (Completed).]
Sora focused his attention on the "Completed" item.
[Disciple Kensei Muguruma has completed basic swordsmanship training. Reward settlement.]
[Reward obtained: 1000 general experience points.]
[Reward obtained: Hadō #11: Tsuzuri Raiden (Beginner level).]
After Kensei's training mission was completed, the feedback reward was Kidō. On Sora's Kidō panel, a Beginner-level "Tsuzuri Raiden" (Stitched Lightning) had been added, a technique that could release lightning along an object to strike an enemy.
Besides the Kidō skill, there were also 1000 general experience points. In addition, the reward for Kana's mission was 5000 points, making a total of 6000. Sora's current Spiritual Pressure was level 52, and it required 2000 experience points to level up. He invested all 6000 points into it. His Spiritual Pressure leveled up 3 times in a row, from 52 to 55.
"Then please guide me in my sword technique training, professor!" Kensei Muguruma was overjoyed.
"Huh? Then I'm the only one left who still has to practice the basics," Shinji Hirako said helplessly.
"What are you afraid of? Kana and I still have to practice Marlin suburi," Kensei said, patting Shinji's shoulder.
"Alright, you will start your sword technique training today," Sora said to Kensei.
[Current training mission added: Guide Kensei Muguruma to complete a sword technique training (In progress).]
As Sora had expected, a new training mission for Kensei appeared. However, before guiding him, Sora wanted to try out his newly learned sword technique first.
"I'll teach you in a moment. I feel like my hand is in good shape right now. I want to try out my sword," Sora said, walking up to the human-shaped target, his mind recalling the training memories of "Haran."
Seeing the professor's actions, the three disciples held their breath and watched intently, afraid to miss a single exciting moment.
He held his sword with both hands, the blade tilted to the right and back. His Spiritual Pressure erupted in an instant, and he delivered a slash at the target in a dragging motion.
In that instant, the blade in Sora's hand disappeared, replaced by water splashes like ocean waves. The tide-like water crashed against the human-shaped target, instantly submerging it. Then, the waves quickly dissipated, revealing the target. It had been broken into two sections, and there were many small holes on it.
"Professor, what's that sword technique called? Its destructive power is so strong!" Kana Azashiro's eyes widened.
"And after the professor's slash, it was impossible to tell where the blade was heading," Shinji Hirako said. He had been watching very carefully but couldn't see the position of the blade at all.
"I didn't see the blade either, just some water splashes..." Kensei added.
"This move is called 'Haran.' It's a sword technique that integrates Kidō. It requires extremely high Spiritual Pressure control skills. I'll teach it to you when your level is high enough," Sora explained. "Haran" was not only beautiful to watch, but it was also very powerful. The three of them were so impressed that they couldn't calm down for a long time, wishing they could learn it immediately.
Sora went to get a straw mat and had Kensei practice cutting it with a wooden sword first. "Kensei, you need to use an unsharpened wooden sword to cut the standing straw mat," Sora said. Kensei, having seen Kana's struggle, took it seriously. Shinji also practiced his basics diligently, hoping to move on to the next stage soon. As for Kana, she continued to practice piercing the target with "Shungeki," as she had only just learned it and needed to reduce her prep time from ten seconds to be viable in a real battle.
...
Katori Sora arrived in front of the Kotetsu residence. He knocked on the door. A moment later, a cute, round-faced little girl poked her head out. She was about eleven or twelve years old and had a head of silver hair. When she tilted her head, a lively silver ponytail slipped down.
"May I ask who you are..." the girl said timidly.
Sora, with a thought, saw a semi-transparent panel appear in his vision.
Isane Kotetsu
Talent: S
Spiritual Pressure: LV 8
Affinity Level: Stranger
Status: Full of spirit (Who is he...?)
This was an "acquaintance," though only on his side. Isane Kotetsu was Headmaster Kotetsu's daughter and, in the future, a Soul Reaper with the ability to become the captain of Squad 4. As expected of a future captain, her Spiritual Pressure at such a young age was already stronger than his had been.
"Hello, I am the academy's swordsmanship instructor, Katori Sora. I have come to visit Headmaster Kotetsu," Sora said with a gentle smile.
"Is that you, Professor Katori?" The little girl pulled the door open completely. "Please come in."
Sora took off his shoes at the entrance and followed her into the house.
"Isane, who is it?" Ayane Kotetsu came over from the room at the end of the corridor, wearing a simple white kimono. "So it's Katori-kun. Please follow me," she said, then turned to her daughter. "Go and bring some tea and refreshments to the tea room."
Sora followed Ayane to a tea room garden, and the two sat down at a tea table. Ayane lit the iron kettle and began to boil water.
