CHAPTER 13 – PENETRATION FORCE

On this previous samurai home, the ash-brown earth was crammed to the brim with footsteps. Who knew simply what number of samurais and apprentices had been training their picket sword and footwork at this place. Even the soil had turn out to be considerably stable from being stepped on repeatedly.1

But a fragile lady like Lily was standing proper in the midst of these samurais and apprentices. These hardened males and children have been all taking a look at Lily, however their consideration was largely centered on the large breasts and butt underneath her kimono. Even the earnest Matsuda Nagahide wasn’t anticipating a lot from Lily.

As for Lily, she imitated Matsuda’s posture by grabbing the picket sword with each arms. That lengthy and brownish sword tip was pointing on the tree in entrance of Lily like an aiming scope.

Lily was particularly involved about that one phrase from Matsuda Nagahide.

‘Fencing is the lifestyle.’ Lily thought in her head, ‘Then what sort of life will my fencing level me to.’

“I’ve come to this harmful world with the soul of a boy and the physique of a lady. I’m not actually bold and aggressive by nature, I additionally don’t prefer to slaughter. Nevertheless, as I’m now, I’ve no selection however to swing a sword with these fragile arms.”

“By the point I touched this sword, I’ve come to understand one thing in my coronary heart.”

“Swinging a sword means you need to kill!”

“No matter gender and appears, the second once I swing the sword, being a lady is now not an excuse.”

“Women and men don’t have anything to do with the sword! There’s solely kill or killed.”

That Daidouji Taro was sneering at Lily by way of his nostril, and stated, “This nice me has but to see a lady waving a sword in whole my life, it is a first. Lil sis, watch out eh, don’t fall down—”

“Pfff—” A number of the brats have been protecting their mouth to carry within the laughter.

A snotty brat with duck lips2 and chubby cheeks stated, “Hehe, wouldn’t it’s good if she falls then, our Taro bro can contact her!”

Lily didn’t pay any thoughts to these jeering. Fencing is the lifestyle, her personal lifestyle. Again when she was a cowardly boy, she did get bullied by these unhealthy boys, however now that she had come to this world as a lady, she wanted to depend on her personal energy. Regardless of what number of gossips or evil intentions have been pointed at her, they weren’t in a position to have an effect on her psyche!

Lily shut her eyes and listened to the sound of the wind blowing from the mountains behind her.3

Instantly, her shiny eyes shone.

“Swoosh—”

There was no irregularity in her sword swing. It was not mild, nevertheless it wasn’t heavy both. The sword swing was quick, it was quick but unusually steady. It was so fast that no sound was made! Solely a really small quantity of wind was gathered across the sword earlier than it dissipated.

It was much like Lily’s hair; black, lengthy, and straight.

It was easy but lovely!

These muddy-faced brats have been taking a look at Lily with out making any remark. It appeared like her swing was nothing to be made enjoyable of. It was a clear slash, however not as mighty and highly effective as brother Taro’s slash. These brats didn’t actually perceive what they only noticed.

Nevertheless, that ‘brother Taro’ squinted his eyes and shouted, “Ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ, this girl, is that this actually her first time swinging a sword?”

And people samurais of the Matsuda clan additionally involuntarily moved their sight from Lily’s butt to her sword. It was clearly a blunt picket sword, but it felt extraordinarily sharp in that one second!

Matsuda Nagahide sucked the air into his dry lips.4 Solely after a very long time later did he lastly say with a happy tone, “Miss Kagami, since you’ve discovered such a profound sword approach, why are you intentionally making enjoyable of us?”

“Eh?” Lily flung her lovely hair, which was accompanied by a candy perfume. She blinked her pure and harmless eyes as she stated, “Elder, I don’t actually perceive what you imply, that is my first time swinging a sword.”

That fatty Taro had an unpleasant look on his face, he thought to himself, “Mom ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓔⓡ! This girl actually make folks irritated! She’s appearing like a damsel in misery and put up a fragile entrance, however who would have anticipated her sword swing was that quick. This nice me nonetheless thought I’ve seen wrongly. I didn’t anticipate previous man Matsuda additionally considered the identical factor. That mom ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ!”

Matsuda Nagahide was skeptical. After desirous about Lily’s id, he felt that it wouldn’t be good to ask too deeply, “Miss Kagami, have you ever ever been examined for penetration pressure?”

“Penetration pressure?” Lily had a clearly perplexed look.

Matsuda blanked out for a second as he thought, ‘If this younger woman is actually making enjoyable of us, then she is certainly a really succesful actress! Nevertheless, with my lengthy years of expertise, I really feel like that’s not the case. Don’t inform me… that was actually her first time swinging a sword? No, that’s unattainable!’

“Miss Kagami, the so-called penetration pressure is the reducing energy behind your sword swing. Though it doesn’t appear to be there may be a lot motion behind your sword swing, the load of such a protracted picket sword isn’t mild both, but you truly swung it so quick and with out making any sound. Extra importantly, it was a steady swing. I’m afraid that the ability behind that swing isn’t mild both. Miss Kagami, if in case you have actually by no means examined your penetration pressure earlier than, I strongly advise the younger woman to present it a attempt,” stated Matsuda.

“That’s proper! That’s proper!” That Kimura Tetsuo —the one who introduced Lily to retrieve the sword earlier— stated considerably excitedly, “Though, at first, I additionally felt it was a bit ridiculous when Miss Kagami selected such a protracted picket sword, I didn’t anticipate you’ll be able to actually swing this three toes lengthy tachi with such swiftness and precision! I, Kimura, actually wish to know, simply what number of models of kwan5 can Miss Kagami’s delicate arms be capable of rating!”

“Kwan?” Lily stared blankly for a second as she wracked her mind. She didn’t have any buddies when she was a boy, so when she didn’t have something to do at residence, she would flick thru some information relating to historical Japan. If it was the identical as historical Japan’s measurement, then one kwan ought to be near 4 kilograms of weight.

On this Heian Empire, a standard grown-up man’s penetration pressure was thirty kwan. That was equal to virtually 100 and twenty kilograms of reducing energy.

“One kwan is the same as the load of 1 thousand cash, that’s to say, one kwan is 100 ryo! Girls are so unhealthy at maths!” stated the fatty. In reality, since he was doing self-study, his maths was the one which’s a complete mess. The one factor he received going for him was his loud voice and fast response.

Lily was questioning why they have been so involved about this one swing, thus she requested, “Elder, please give recommendation to this little lady if my phrases are incorrect. I believed that so long as the sword is sharp, it may possibly kill even with little energy. Why ought to we nonetheless care concerning the energy of the strike?”

These phrases startled the samurais of Matsuda and even fatty Taro.

How may a slender and delightful lady like her so simply communicate out the phrase “kill”?

It appeared that even when this lady had actually by no means discovered methods to swing a sword earlier than, she had no less than been by way of an unimaginable expertise.

“Ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ, her phrases are getting increasingly more pretentious! This nice me actually can’t see eyes to eyes with this younger woman!” Taro cursed in his coronary heart.

Alternatively, Matsuda Nagahide was patiently explaining. In spite of everything, he was already not treating Lily as a pampered lady who solely tried out fencing because of curiosity.

“Miss Kagami, what you stated may be very cheap. It’s simply that, the way in which of the samurai is without doubt one of the roots in my Heian Empire. After changing into a samurai, not solely do have loads of privileges and repute, there are additionally the advantages given by many imperial households and large names. Subsequently, it’s higher to have a regular. In spite of everything, you’ll be able to’t at all times decide energy by way of a life or dying battle proper?”

Matsuda continued, “In any other case, earlier than even dealing with the demons or becoming a member of the conflict, greater than half of the samurais would already be useless. Subsequently, on this Heian Empire, the penetration pressure is without doubt one of the vital standards to guage if one has reached the qualification of a samurai.”
