Chapter 77 - 76. Reunion 1/2
Chapter 76
- I was just wondering. I remember you were telling me about Komuro being wounded during another not-so-friendly encounter, but where did the hostility towards the others come from? - I couldn't help but ask. It's understandable with me, I chopped people up in front of teenagers who weren't ready for such a sight, but I think it should have prepared them for a repeat of something like that.
- They were no doubt shocked by the massacre you had caused, but they were even more shocked by the fact that I had finished off a bandit who was unable to resist, - Takashi answered me.
"Were they really that stupid to turn on you after everything?" I asked, puzzled.
"No, but it was very clear that some of them hoped that he wouldn't survive the injury," Saeko said, frowning slightly.
- Well, with allies like these, you don't need enemies. - I shook my head before turning to Saeko. - Give me the sword for a while, it should be strengthened, otherwise it will break quickly.
- Will it break quickly? - the girl was slightly surprised.
- Yes, these swords, after all. - Takashi nodded towards the weapons rack. - They were made using technologies typical of medieval Japan, that is, rather poorly. In addition, the iron is made from swamp ore, which is rich in various harmful impurities and a specific chemical composition. - the guy explained to the girl.
- Well, yes, although I did not know such details, but I just feel that at the moment your bokken is stronger and sharper than this katana, that is why I suggest improving it. - Still, it is a little confusing that all my strength is not based on knowledge, but, in fact, entirely on intuition. Although, what can I say even with a two-handed weapon, although I have some skill, due to skill, but I do not have knowledge of any school of fencing, it is rather something from the category of what a warrior could develop through battles, but with a high probability he will still lose to a real master of his craft, the same with archery, yes, I can undoubtedly do amazing things, but I do not know the techniques thanks to which, in some worlds, the same archers do what is available to me only with the help of various tricks, and some points are completely inaccessible.
"Is it really better than a forged blade now?" Saeko blinked in surprise and looked at her bokken.
"Come to think of it, those homemade spears that were used at school were also unusually sharp and strong," Kyoko said thoughtfully.
