Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 92: Hard Training
"It's my turn next! I want to learn Shichiro's Muga Nito-ryu!"
Ogata looked at the newcomer.
If he remembered correctly, this person was Saburo.
He adjusted his stance to practice the Two Swords Ryu again and stared closely at Saburo in front of him.
"drink!"
Saburo took a step forward and stabbed Ogata's chest with the wooden sword in his hand.
And what happened next was exactly the same as before.
Ogata used the wakizashi in his left hand to block Saburo's sword, and then used the katana to counterattack Saburo, pressing the tip of the katana firmly against Saburo's chest.

"Amazing……"
"I can actually defeat Saburo so easily..."
"I didn't expect that Shichiro is not only a master of the One-Sword Sword Technique, but also has such a deep attainment in the Two-Sword Sword Technique."
…
Ogata ignored their compliments.
Instead, he retracted the katana he had just thrust out, and said loudly:
"Next, I want to spar with two people at the same time!"
…
…
at the same time--
Kuranaga, who had just returned from the dojo, was busy at his desk, dealing with today's government affairs, when Tobizaruo suddenly jumped down from the ceiling with a strange look on his face.
"My Lord... I have something to report to you. It's about Ogata-kun."
"Hmm? What happened to Ogata-kun?"
"He is currently practicing swordplay with other warriors."
"I know. Do you need to report this to me?"
"Ogata-kun... is currently practicing a two-sword style of swordsmanship that I have never seen before..."
"Two-sword style?" Kuranaga raised his head from the desk and cast a puzzled look at Tobin.
"My Lord, do you want to go and take a look?"
"…No need for that. Let Ogata-kun practice freely. I don't want to interfere too much with the practice of the warriors. I'll go and see what Ogata-kun's two-sword style swordsmanship is like when I have a chance."
After saying that, Cang Yong lowered his head again and dealt with the documents on the desk one after another.
…
…
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Ogata's Breath of the Source can currently only be maintained for a maximum of 7 minutes.
Now that the time limit has expired, Ogata has to switch back to normal breathing.
In front of him were Jiro and Shiro, who had just been knocked down by him.
Just now, Ogata tried a one-on-many situation for the first time.
Although he won in the end, the process was much more difficult than Ogata had imagined because he was not used to fighting one-on-many.
Defeating Jiro and Shiro in one go just now gave Ogata 90 points of personal experience and 90 points of experience in the Two Swords Style. This also allowed Ogata's personal level to be upgraded from level 10 to level 11 after a long time, and he gained 1 skill point.
As soon as he obtained this skill point, Xu Fang used it without hesitation to unlock the sword technique of Muga's Two Swords Style - Stepping.
After relaxing his tense muscles, Ogata looked at Ichiro and the others again.
"Come on, continue!"
"Shichiro..." Ichiro hesitated, "You've just fought four people in a row, don't you really want to take a break first?"
"No." Ogata shook his head. "Time is precious. Let's start practicing again. I want to challenge two more this time!"
…
…
That evening——
In the Hirose Domain, in Kuranaga's residence, in a room.
"What's this……?"
Ogata stared blankly at the food in front of him.
Rice, miso soup, radish, a salted fish, and a small bowl of pork.
At this time, Ogata and other patriots were sitting neatly in a simple room.
In front of everyone, there was a table filled with delicious food.
According to Ichiro and the others, this room is where they usually eat.
Just when Ogata was stunned by the sumptuous food in front of him, Kuranaga suddenly flashed into the "dining room" of Ogata and others, and waved his hand to indicate that everyone in the room did not need to salute him.
"Ogata, eat as much as you can. It is necessary to store up your energy for the next action."
Kuranaga continued with a smile.
"Meat is a great way to replenish your physical strength. Although you may not be used to it at first, once you get used to it, you will find it delicious. Not only is it delicious, but meat is also a great way to replenish your physical strength."
Kuranaga seemed to subconsciously think that Ogata was also the kind of person who would be very averse to eating meat.
Due to historical, cultural and other factors, people in the Edo period did not have the habit of eating meat.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Kuranaga to mistakenly believe that Ogata might not be used to eating meat.
Ogata looked at the other people's tables.
"… Elder, is it my illusion… I always feel like I have much less meat than other people…"
"Because you haven't eaten much meat before." Kuranaga replied, "If you eat a lot of meat at once, your stomach may not be able to handle it, so I'll give you a little bit of meat now, and when you get used to it in the future, I'll gradually increase the amount."
"I see……"
"Everyone." Kuranaga moved his eyes and scanned the faces of the patriots in front of him one by one, "I have important information to tell you. Please listen to me while you eat."
"yes!"
Since Kuranaga said so, Ogata and the others, who had been starving for a long time, didn't bother to be pretentious. They hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and started to wolf down the food.
Kuranaga slowly knelt down on the tatami and said in a deep voice:
"The operation...will probably start at the end of this month...or next month."
Kuranaga's words made Ogata and others immediately put down their chopsticks.
At this time, Cangyong continued:
"My lord, he loves hunting."
"At the same time, he also extremely hates cold and dry environments."
"So after September, the lord will no longer go out of the city to hunt."
"If we want to assassinate the lord, our only chance is when he goes out of the city to hunt."
"My Lord's next hunt will probably take place at the end of this month or next month."
"And the next hunt should be the lord's last hunt of the year."
"That is to say - the next time the lord goes hunting, it will be our last chance to assassinate him this year."
"If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait until next year."
As soon as Kuranaga finished speaking, Oobian immediately raised his question.
"Master, do we have to kill Matsudaira Gennai before the end of this year?"
"That's right."
"Why can't we wait until next year?" Ogata asked, "This way, we will have more time to prepare, and maybe we can recruit a few more people who are willing to sacrifice their lives with us."
"No." Cang Yong shook his head, "It's too late..."
"Ogata-kun, you may not know that the lord has many spies in the Hirose Domain."
"I spent a lot of effort to conceal the existence of the seven of you and my plan to assassinate the lord."
"But with so many eyes and ears on the Lord's side, I can't guarantee that I can keep it a secret forever."
"If our plan gets out, we'll all be doomed."
"So the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."
"We must kill the lord before others discover our assassination plan!"
