Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 53 I want all the information about Ogata Issei
Kuranaga turned around and looked at Feiyuan with a serious face.
"...Tobizaru, how much do you know about this Ogata Issei?"
"My Lord, I just got to know this person today. So I don't know much about him."
"However, after I learned that this person had gone into Ishikawa Sword Hall alone, I did some simple research on him."
"We have learned that this person will compete with Toyama Renshiro of the Ishikawa Sword Hall in a month's time in the grounds of Izumo Taisha Shrine."
"Toyama Renjiro... competition in sacrificial offerings to the gods..." Kuranaga muttered.
As the family elder of Hirose Domain, Kuranaga certainly knew what the Shinto Festival Competition was.
Many high-ranking officials in their domain were extremely interested in the annual competition between the Sakakibara Sword School and the Ishikawa Sword School.
Every year, many dignitaries from the Hirose domain would go to watch the game.
But Cangyong was not interested in this sacrificial competition.
Since the founding of the Shinto competition, Kuranaga has never once gone to watch this prestigious swordsmanship competition in their domain.
Kuranaga had also heard of the name Toyama Renjiro.
According to the rumors that Kuranaga had received before, this Toyama Renjiro seemed to be a rare genius swordsman that Ishikawa Sword Hall only encounters once in ten years.
Kuranaga has always scoffed at such rumors.
Kuranaga, who had seen a lot of the world, knew one thing very well, that is - the martial arts of the samurai of their Hirose domain were not outstanding.
Although Toyama is an outstanding martial artist in Ishikawa Swordsmanship, he would probably be just an ordinary person in Japan.
Touting Yuanshan as a rare genius that Ishikawa Sword School only sees once in ten years is, in Kuranaga's eyes, like a group of monkeys who have never seen a tiger before, calling the strongest monkey in their group the most powerful existence in the forest.
Therefore, Kuranaga did not agree with the rumor that "Yuanshan is a genius".
After chewing on the term "sacrifice contest" for a long time, Cang Yong spoke again:
"Fei Yuan, when will this year's God Sacrifice Competition be held?"
"Next month, but the date hasn't been set yet!"
"Once the date is set, inform me immediately!"
"yes!"
"And - tomorrow... No, you leave now! Go and investigate that Ogata Issei for me."
"From who his parents are to his daily life, I want to know all his information."
"yes!"
…
…
The next day——
Early morning -
Slowly open your eyes.
The first thing that caught Ogata's eye was the unfamiliar ceiling.
"Sleeping so soundly..."
While sighing in a low voice, Ogata lifted the quilt covering his body and slowly sat up.
Last night, after leaving Ishikawa Sword Hall, Obe went straight back to Sakakibara Sword Hall to report his safety.
After returning to Sakakibara Sword Hall to report his safety, Ogata wanted to go to Ryuya again.
But the feeling of fatigue that seemed to be about to crush Ogata's body finally made him give up the idea of going to Ryuya again.
Because he really didn't have the energy to go home, Ogata spent the night in the dojo of Sakakibara Sword Hall.
Originally, their Sakakibara Sword Hall did not allow others to stay overnight in the hall.
Even the disciples in the sword hall are not allowed to do so.
But yesterday was a special situation after all, so Hanbei generously lent his Sakakibara Sword Hall to Ogata so that Ogata could have a good rest in the hall for a night.
At the same time, Hanbei was very considerate and lent Ogata a set of bedding and pillow so that Ogata would not have to sleep on the cold wooden floor.
Because he was exhausted, he lay on the quilt, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep the next second.
Ogata dared to guarantee with his own life that last night was definitely the best sleep he had ever had since he came to the Edo period.
I slept till dawn without even dreaming.
He sat up, and after his brain, which was still a little confused from waking up, gradually regained its clarity, he stood up swiftly.
After neatly folding the set of bedding that his master had lent him last night, Ou Fang slowly walked towards the small courtyard connected to the dojo.
To the east of their Sakakibara Sword Hall's dojo, there is a small courtyard.
Sometimes when he got tired of practicing sword skills, Xu Fang would sit by the small courtyard with his fellow disciples to enjoy the breeze.
As he slowly walked out of the dojo and into the courtyard, the bright sunshine immediately washed over Ogata's face like a waterfall.
Because his eyes were not used to the sunlight, Ogata couldn't help but droop his eyelids and squint his eyes slightly.
Use your eyelashes to filter the sunlight.
After his eyes had adjusted to the sunlight a little, Ogata opened them again.
Today is a sunny day that can instantly improve one’s mood.
The loose white clouds, like cotton, cover the already weak sunlight, making it even softer, and are often accompanied by a breeze.
When the breeze blew, the tops of the small trees in the courtyard began to sway obediently.
"What a nice day..."
Having said this, Ogata paused.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
"It's a pity that I have to go to work today..."
When he thought about having to go to work today, Ogata's mood, which had been very good due to the pleasant weather, suddenly became heavy.
"Oh, that's right..."
Ogata muttered.
"I almost forgot to check what my personal system interface looks like now..."
Yesterday, Ogata had no time to check his personal system interface.
When fighting with the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall, Ogata was so focused that he had no time to listen to the system sound in his mind.
So when he fought with the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall yesterday, who he defeated and how many experience points he gained - Ogata had no idea.
Ogata silently said "system" several times in his mind, and the familiar personal system interface appeared in front of Ogata.
[Name: Ogata Noriyoshi]
[Level: Lv10: 370/900]
Personal attributes:
Strength: 5
Agility: 8
Reflexes: 8
Stamina: 5
Vitality: 5
[Martial Arts School:
Sakakibara Ittoryu: 6th stage: 330/1500】
[Remaining skill points: 3 points]
【Sakakibara Ittoryu (6th dan):
Climbing: Beginner
Water Fall: Intermediate
Bird Thorn: Advanced
Dragon Tail: Primary
…
——I actually got so much experience points yesterday?
Looking at his personal system interface, Ogata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The series of battles yesterday actually increased Ogata's personal experience points by 550 points, and Sakakibara Ittoryu's experience points by 400 points.
It directly upgraded both Ogata's personal level and Sakakibara Ittoryu's level, gaining 3 skill points, increasing Ogata's skill point inventory from 0 points to 3 points.
Looking at his experience bar, Ogata pondered for a while and said to himself:
——It seems that... the amount of experience points gained is not only related to the strength of the opponent...
——It’s also related to my opponent’s “murderous intention” towards me…
——Yesterday, all the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall wanted to beat me into a cripple.
——After defeating these people who wanted to beat me to a pulp, the experience points I gained would naturally be very high...
After defeating Itagaki, who sexually harassed Afuku, Ogata had speculated that the amount of experience points gained was not only related to the strength of the opponent, but also to the opponent's "murderous intention" towards him.
But at that time, he was just guessing and was not sure.
And now, Ogata is 100% sure - as long as the opponent has a strong intention to kill, then even if the opponent is very weak, Ogata can still gain a considerable amount of experience points after defeating or killing him.
