I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Another experiment by Ogata was declared a success.

Ogata came to the sword hall today mainly to do two experiments related to the system.

Experiment 1: Test whether you can get experience points without defeating or killing enemies, just practicing sword alone.

The second experiment: Can experience points be gained by repeatedly defeating enemies.

Now, Ogata's two experiments have been completed, and all of them have been declared successful.

Yesterday, Ogata had already defeated Makino once.

And today, after defeating Makino again, he can still gain experience points.

This means that you can still gain experience points even if you repeatedly defeat enemies.

Both experiments were declared successful, which made Ogata feel good.

Ogata stretched the muscles of his right arm and smiled at Makino:

"Okay, Makino, let's have a good activity today."

...

...

Today, Ogata competed with Makino 3 times back and forth, and won 3 times.

I got 60 personal experience points from Makino, and 60 experience points from Sakakibara Ichidou.

Currently, Ogata's personal level is: LV8 (110/700).

The level of Sakakibara Ichito-ryu is: 4th dan (90/700)

Ogata originally wanted to compete with Makino for the fourth time, but Makino, who had already fought 3 times in a row, no longer had the strength and energy to compete with Ogata again.

Seeing that Makino said so, Ogata had no choice but to give up the sword fight with Makino.

Today, Ogata's master, Hanbei Sakakibara, did not come to the sword hall to instruct them to practice swords.

This is actually the norm at the Sakakibara Sword Gym. Hanbei does not come to the Gymnasium every day to guide them in swordfights.

Just like today—Hanbei didn't come, and Ogata and the others worked hard on their own from the beginning to the end.

Makino is no longer able to compete with Ogata, and Ogata just happens to be a little tired now.

After all, Ogata had already practiced swordsmanship alone for a long time before he and Makino started three consecutive sword fights.

Now that my physical condition is not good, and the purpose of today's experiment has been achieved, Xu Yi simply terminated today's practice, took back his saber, put on his straw sandals, and set foot on the way home .

...

...

Compared with yesterday, Ogata returned home much later.

It was completely dark outside, and it would be impossible to walk without a lantern.

There are always a large number of lanterns for apprentices in the Sakakibara Sword Gym. Everyone in the sword gym can use them at will, as long as they put them back to their original positions after use.

Ogata held the lantern in his right hand, while his left hand rested casually on the saber at his waist.

Goo~~

Stomach made an embarrassing sound.

"very hungry……"

Ogata put down his left hand on the saber, and gently covered his stomach with his left hand.

Before time travel, Ogata lived a life of eating meat, eggs and meals casually.

Ogata, who has long been used to that kind of life, naturally feels extremely uncomfortable with the current days where he can only drink gruel.

From yesterday to now, Ogata just stayed in this era for 1 day.

In just one short day, Xu was fed up with the difficult environment.

——I really want to eat something good...

This idea just emerged from Ogata's mind, and Ogata felt that his own idea was a little funny.

It's not difficult at all to eat something good.

The difficulty is where to get the money to eat good food.

The meager salary of 50 shi made Ogata dare not eat anything other than porridge.

So in the final analysis, the only problem in Ogata's current life is - lack of money.

as long as you have money,

Everything is easy to say.

"Money..."

Ogata muttered.

"Where do you want to get the money from..."

Where do you want to go in the future? It's fine to think about this kind of thing later.

But "how to make myself a little richer and improve my quality of life" - this question is a real and urgent question...

...

...

Ogata thought hard for a while, and found that if he wanted to make his life a little richer now, the only way was to start a side job in his spare time.

Work for merchants, start a small business, or do something else...

When Ogata was worrying about money, he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from ahead.

After slightly frowning, Ogata quickened his pace and ran forward.

In front, there are 4 middle-aged people dressed as farmers.

The bodies of the four middle-aged men dressed as farmers exude a strong smell of alcohol.

From a long distance away, Ogata was smelled by the smell of alcohol on these four people.

And these four middle-aged people were surrounding a pretty woman at this time, talking some very obscene words.

The pretty lady tucked her shoulders and hands tightly in front of her chest, and looked at the four middle-aged men who were laughing lasciviously and saying obscene words with a look of fear.

These 4 drunk men also touched the woman from time to time, which made the woman tremble slightly in fright.

Ogata Hikaru looked with his eyes and could see exactly what happened.

These four middle-aged men dressed as peasants must have drunk too much alcohol, and their minds were not sober, and they molested good women in the street.

The location of this place is relatively remote, and few people pass by. If they just sit back and watch, the woman may be in danger.

--no solution anymore……

After muttering in his heart, Ogata supported the saber at his waist and walked slowly towards the four drunk men who molested their natal women in the street.

"Hey, you guys, get out of here!"

Ogata's words immediately attracted the attraction of the four drunk men, and at the same time attracted the attraction of the woman.

Seeing that someone finally came, the woman's eyes immediately burst into hope and excitement, and she shouted to Ogata:

"Master Samurai, please help me!"

After hearing Ogata's words "Get out of here quickly", one of the drunks not only did not leave here obediently, but also shouted inarticulately:

"It's none of your business! Get the hell out of here."

Ogata silently tilted the lantern held in his right hand slightly to the left, illuminating the two sabers at his waist.

"See this?"

Ogata said in a calm tone.

"Get out of here quickly, or——I might make you suffer a little."

Ogata had expected the four drunks to back off after he flashed the katana sword at his waist.

But who would have thought that these four drunks were not afraid, instead they said in a more arrogant tone:

"So what about the samurai! I'm not even afraid of the shogun, but I'm afraid of you!"

"That's it!"

"Go away! Otherwise we will give you a little bit of trouble!"

...

Listening quietly to the wild words of the four drunk men, Ogata sighed helplessly.

I secretly said in my heart:

——Sure enough, he is strong and cowardly...

If they were awake, these four strong men would definitely be scared and run away after seeing the two sabers on Ogata's waist.

In the Edo period, farmers did not have the courage to stand up to the samurai who were the ruling class and had the right to call their surnames and wear swords.

But the problem is - these 4 guys are not sober now.

They were supposed to run away, but they talked nonsense there instead.

Seeing that words could no longer make this guy leave here obediently, Ogata silently handed the lantern to his left hand.

Then, with his free right hand, he slowly pulled out the knife stuck in his left waist.

Under the light of the lantern fire, the blade of the dao reflected a dazzling brilliance.

Putting on a mid-section posture, the point of the knife was aimed at the four drunk men who hadn't woken up after seeing Ogata draw the knife.

——Unexpectedly, on the second day when I came to the Edo period, I started to use a real sword...
