Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 39: Attack on Sakakibara Sword Hall (Part 2)
As Mikami said this, he slowly walked to the front of all the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Hall who were present.
Seeing Mikami speak and stand up, Makino and the others felt a little relieved. They began to stare back at the uninvited guests in front of them with a look that showed no weakness.
It wasn't just Ogata who wasn't here at this moment.
Even their master, Hanbei Sakakibara, was not here.
Since Ogata and Hanbei were not there at the time, Mikami became the strongest person in Sakakibara Sword Hall and the backbone of all the disciples.
"I have some accounts to settle with that bitch Ogata Issei." Yuanshan said in a deep voice, "Get him out now!"
"Ogata-kun is not here now!" Mikami replied with a loud voice that was no less powerful than Toyama's. "Get out of here right now! We didn't invite you to visit our Sakakibara Sword Hall! Get out of here right now!"
"Not here?"
Yuanshan sneered.
"Are you guys protecting that Ogata?"
"We didn't protect Ogata-kun!"
Toyama and others suddenly broke into Sakakibara Sword Hall, stepped into their dojo without even taking off their shoes, and made their dojo dirty.
For unknown reasons, Ogata was asked to come out by name.
Now they are suspected for no reason of shielding Ogata.
The rude behavior of Yuanshan and others has made Mikami very angry.
However - even though Mikami had been so tolerant, Toyama and the others were still extremely unreasonable.
"Humph! Who knows if you guys are protecting Ogata? Get out of the way! We're going to go in and search in person!"
After saying that, Yuanshan led his fellow disciples behind him and headed deep into the Sakakibara Sword Hall.
The rudeness of Toyama and others completely ignited Mikami's anger.
"Come in if you want, break in if you want, do you think this is your home?!"
Mikami raised the wooden sword in his hand and got into position.
Makino and others behind Mikami had already been irritated by the rudeness of Toyama and others, and they all raised their wooden swords.
"Mikami." Yuanshan glanced at Mikami, "Are you going to stop me?"
"Of course!" Mikami shouted without hesitation, "I am a disciple of Sakakibara Sword Hall! How can I just watch you come and go as you please?"
"Do you know what shameless things that despicable villain Ogata Yisei did?"
A murderous shadow appeared on Yuanshan's face.
"I don't know!" Mikami yelled again without thinking, "I don't know what happened between you and Ogata! But I know that your behavior of breaking into my dojo without any reason is extremely rude! Get out of here immediately! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Before Mikami could finish his words, Toyama rudely interrupted him with sarcastic words.
"You don't think you can stop us, do you?"
Toyama's words made Mikami's face darken.
However, even so, Mikami still held the wooden sword firmly in his hand and did not retreat a single step.
Yuanshan could see Mikami's determination from his action.
"Heh, if you want to stop us, go ahead and try. Hey! Go get all the wooden swords!"
At Yuanshan's command, the fellow disciples standing behind him immediately ran to the edge of the dojo and took the wooden swords placed on the knife rack at the edge of the dojo.
Although Yuanshan was extremely angry now, he was not so angry that his head was overwhelmed by anger.
If he drew his real sword and fought against the people from Sakakibara Sword Hall, someone would definitely die.
Yuanshan didn't want to make things too serious unless it was absolutely necessary.
Taking the wooden sword handed to him by his junior fellow apprentice, Toyama looked at Mikami.
"Come on, Mikami, let me see if you've improved since last year."
…
…
There were 21 people in total, including Toyama, who broke into Sakakibara Sword Hall.
At this time, there were only 12 disciples from Sakakibara Sword Hall present.
12 people against 21 people - this huge difference in numbers determined the outcome of the battle at the beginning.
"drink!"
Despite Makino's shouting, his momentum was quite impressive.
But his slash was blocked by a disciple of Ishikawa Sword Hall in front of him.
Although the slash was blocked, the steps of this disciple from Ishikawa Sword Hall were also disordered.
——Good! Two more hits and I can defeat him!
When Makino was about to chase the enemy in front of him, a sharp pain suddenly came from his side.
Another disciple of Ishikawa Sword Hall sneaked up to Makino's side while he was not paying attention, and then delivered a heavy blow to Makino's side.
Makino suddenly felt his stomach churning.
After falling heavily to the ground, a strong urge to vomit came over me.
"vomit!"
With his abdomen injured, Makino vomited out all the undigested food in his stomach.
——Bastard!
Makino cursed in his heart while vomiting.
——Two against one is fine! But they even tried to launch a sneak attack!
Although Makino had fallen to the ground, the man who had just successfully ambushed Makino still did not let him go.
Together with the companion who was almost defeated by Makino, he struck a few more swords at the fallen Makino before looking for a new opponent.
Similar scenes continued to occur in various places in the temple.
The disciples of Sakakibara Sword School, who were outnumbered, basically had to deal with two enemies at the same time.
However, most of the disciples of Sakakibara Sword School do not have the strength to fight against a larger force with a small number, nor do they have the experience to do so.
The most common battles they usually engage in are one-on-one training with their fellow disciples in the dojo.
With neither strength nor experience, they were quickly defeated.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few Sakakibara Sword School disciples left standing in the dojo...
…
…
"Mikami, your fellow disciples are almost all falling down." Toyama, who was confronting Mikami, said in a mocking tone.
Mikami remained silent.
Ignored the ridicule and provocation from the distant mountains.
From beginning to end, he kept staring at Yuanshan, not missing any move of Yuanshan.
"Senior Yuanshan! Let me help you!"
"do not come!"
Yuanshan shouted to the fellow apprentice who was holding a wooden sword and wanted to rush over to join the battle and help Yuanshan.
"All of you, stay away!"
"I want to see if this man, who was defeated by me in last year's God Sacrifice Competition, has made any progress after a year of training!"
After saying that, Yuanshan leaped directly towards Mikami without even a running start.
While leaping into the air, he raised the wooden sword in his hand high into an upper stance.
Mikami, who didn't expect that Yuanshan would jump directly over, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Although he had no idea that Toyama would jump up, Mikami's body moved subconsciously.
Mikami raised the wooden sword in his hand high to block Yuanshan's powerful downward strike.
