I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Fight each other?!" Ah Ding widened his eyes, "What kind of traditional activity is this?"

"My beautiful lady, you heard me right. This is really our traditional event." Vahili pulled his beard. "In our country, there is a festival called 'Maslenitsa'."

"My men will celebrate this festival because of their faith."

"According to our tradition, we start the Maslenitsa in the eighth week after the beginning of the new year."

"At the beginning, Maslenitsa was just about eating, drinking and having fun, celebrating the passing of winter and the coming of spring."

"But I don't know when, there have been more activities where men beat each other to their heart's content."

"Maybe it's because everyone is in a panic, so after someone started fighting to exert their energy, everyone followed suit, so it gradually became popular."

"Everyone only uses fists, no dirty tricks are allowed, and they beat each other to their heart's content. They beat each other until they can't be beaten anymore."

"Betching each other with fists has become one of the important activities of our Maslenitsa."

Vahily smiled happily, as if the fight was some particularly honorable event.

"It's already mid-February, and it's almost time for Maslenitsa to start."

"Although it's still a little early, my staff and I can't help but celebrate the annual Maslenitsa ahead of schedule."

"...I still don't understand." A-Machi whispered, "Why is there such a strange activity as 'men fighting each other'... Isn't it easy to get hurt if you engage in this kind of activity?"

As a native Japanese woman, Machi couldn't understand the significance of holding this event.

"Injured?" Vasili sneered as if he heard some funny joke, "If you get hurt, you'll get hurt, it's no big deal."

Vasili's nonchalant attitude towards "injury" made the doubtful look on Ah-ding's face even more intense.

"So you still have this kind of activity..." Aiyaka who was on the side murmured.

"We only fight each other like this on Maslenitsa." Vahily shrugged.

"So you gathered outside the camp like this just to hold your fight?" Aiyaka looked at the group of his subordinates standing behind Vahiri.

"That's right." Vasili nodded.

"Whatever you want to do is your freedom." Aiyaka changed into a slightly more serious tone, "As long as you don't bring trouble to our village."

"Don't worry." Vasili smiled, "We have a sense of proportion."

"We're actually in a little trouble right now."

"Including me, there are currently 40 people staying in the camp."

"It was supposed to be a 20-on-20 fist fight."

Vasily raised his hand and ran through his hair.

"But now there's a poor guy who's got a bad cold. Can't fight."

"It would be quite boring if the number of people in the Maslenitsa fight was not equal. I was discussing with my subordinates just now what to do."

"The best solution to this problem is to find another person to top up."

"so--"

Vasili turned to look at Ogata.

"Brother, come and join our boxing fight."

Vasily grinned.

"With you taking the place of that hapless guy. We can remake a 20-on-20 fist fight."

"As long as you can come over and make up the number, I'll tell you everything I know."

"How? Is this a good deal?"

Ogata is having a complicated face now.

When Vahiri explained to them what this "fighting activity" was, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen related videos in his previous life.

As early as in his previous life, Ogata had heard a little about this strange activity in the country of Lucia.

Ogata did not expect that this kind of activity of men fighting each other turned out to be an activity with such a long history.

It never occurred to me that I would have the opportunity to participate in such an event.

"...Is it enough for me to just play one game with you?"

"That's right." Vasili put on a half-joking tone, "We can't play too many games."

"...I see." Ogata nodded, "Then let me take part in this activity of yours that has lasted for a thousand years."

"Mashima." Aiyaka cast a surprised look at Ogata, "Are you really planning to participate?"

"After all, people have already said it." Ogata pulled out Da Shitian and Da Zizai from his left waist and handed them to Atachi next to him, "I have to accompany them to participate in this event, so that I can tell what they know tell me."

"Hahaha. It seems that you are a very straightforward person, brother." Vasili smiled.

Seeing that Ogata really planned to participate in this fight, Aiyaka didn't say anything more.

"Are there any rules?" Ogata asked.

"Different regions generally have different rules." Vahiri said, "Our rule here is that all kinds of insidious tricks are not allowed, such as kicking gears, throwing sand, and lime."

"No feet."

"Don't attack another's vitals."

"Squatting down means surrendering, and you should not attack those who have surrendered."

"Just these 4 rules. Gone."

"Simple and easy to understand, concise and clear." Ogata said softly.

"Are you ready?" Vasily asked.

Ogata nodded.

"Now that you're ready, come with me! After the fight, hurry up and have lunch!"

Aiyaka: "So you haven't had lunch yet?"

"Of course, if you eat first and get hit in the stomach, a very indecent scene can easily appear."

...

...

Ogata stood in a row with 19 other Lucians.

On the opposite side about 10 steps away from Ogata and the others, there was also a row of 20 people standing.

Two human walls with the same number of people stood facing each other.

Vasili was standing beside Ogata at this time.

In other words, Vasili and Ogata are in the same camp.

Should it be said that it is a racial advantage? The Lucians standing next to Ogata, and the Lucians standing opposite Ogata, have an average height similar to that of Ogata, all about 1.7 meters, and several of them are over 1.8 meters.

This kind of picture of a large group of people around him is about the same height as him - in Ogata's memory, it seems that this is the first time he has seen such a picture since he traveled to the Edo period.

Since Vasili just announced that Ogata will replace their unlucky guy who caught a bad cold and was unable to participate in the fight, many of Vasili's subordinates have been looking at Ogata with strange eyes.

After the camp was assigned, those who stood opposite Ogata and belonged to Ogata's hostile camp continued to speak ill of Ogata.

"That Japanese guy is really short! (Lucia)"

"Don't say that! That Japanese is considered taller among the Japanese! (Lucia)"

"He looks very thin, and I don't know if his fist is strong enough. (Lucia)"

"Hmph, I heard that Japan doesn't fight much now, so the Japanese should seldom fight with their fists! We fought since we were young, I hope he won't be scared by the fighting scene later .(Lucia)"

People who belonged to the same camp as Ogata, although they didn't mock Ogata as much as the person on the opposite side, but they also whispered their worries about Ogata to the people around them.

"Do you think the Japanese that Vasili invited are reliable? (Lucia)"

"Who knows, Vasily probably just found someone to make up for it. (Lucia)"

"I don't want to lose... (Lucia)"

"Didn't that guy wear a sword on his waist just now? Since he can wear a sword, he should be a so-called 'samurai'. Since he is a warrior, he should not be a weak person. (Lucia)"

"Who said that, I heard that the Japanese samurai are all degenerate now, and it doesn't mean that every samurai is very strong. (Lucia language)"

Whether it is the ridicule towards Ogata, or the uneasiness towards Ogata expressed by people who belong to the same camp as Ogata, it does not affect Ogata in the slightest.

Because—Ogata couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Ogata guessed that the language they used was probably Lucia.

For Lucian, Ogata only knows 2 sentences - Ula and Suka are not listed.

These two sentences are learned from the Internet in the previous life.

"Ula" has no specific meaning and is a modal particle usually used to express strong emotion.

As for "sukabulie"...it's a Lucian swear word, and a filthy swear word at that.

However, although he couldn't understand what the people on the other side and around him were saying, Ogata could feel from the expressions and tone of the people around him that they should be saying some unfriendly words to him.

Ogata didn't care about that.

He just wanted to end this fist fight quickly so that he could ask something from Vasili as soon as possible.

Therefore——Ogata silently pressed the joints of his fists, and moved his eyes, scanning the faces of the Lucians in the opposite row one by one.

This is the gaze of the hunter who ranks his prey in order.

...

...

Not long after the two sides lined up two rows of facing human walls, Vahiri, who belonged to the same camp as Ogata and was standing opposite Ogata, yelled something loudly towards the opposite side.

Then there was a response from the opposite wall of people.

After Vasili just talked to the opposite side for a few words, he turned his head and said something to the people who belonged to the same camp as him.

After his words fell, the Lucians around him all began to take off their clothes.

Before Ogata had time to show a puzzled expression, Vahiri next to him switched to Japanese and said to him:

"Mashima, take off your clothes. Those of us in this row need to be shirtless."

"Shirtless?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Is it to distinguish between the enemy and us?"

"That's right."

"Isn't it unfair that we're shirtless and the other side is clothed?"

"So for the sake of fairness, the other side should also take off their clothes. Only one single piece of clothing remains."

Ogata looked in front of him - indeed, the people in the front row also started to take off their clothes.

Seeing this, Ogata didn't say any more, raised his hands and tore off the scarf around his neck, and began to take off his upper body clothes.

And A-Machi, who was standing not far behind Ogata, also walked up quickly at this time, and took the clothes that Ogata had taken off.

The only people watching this fight were Acho and Aiyaka.

Ogata had less clothes on his body, and the kimono was easier to take off, so he was the one who took off his upper body clothes the fastest.

After Ogata exposed his upper body, whether it was around Ogata or on the opposite side of Ogata, there were gasps of breath.

There is no other reason - Ogata's upper body looks really scary.

The criss-cross wounds spread all over Ogata's upper body.

Cuts, penetrating wounds... there are all kinds of wounds.

And the dark purple skin on Ogata's left neck due to the "immortal poison" also made Ogata's upper body look even more terrifying.

Whether it's people who belong to the same camp as Ogata, or people who are in Ogata's hostile camp, they all involuntarily stop everything they are doing and look at Ogata in surprise.

Those who didn't speak ill of Ogata just now were fine.

The expressions of those who spoke ill of Ogata just now became more and more exciting.

Even Vahili, who was standing opposite Ogata, looked up and down Ogata's terribly wounded upper body with astonished eyes.

"Mashima, you have so many injuries..." Vasili swallowed, and after thinking for a long time, he only thought of this sentence, "I have seen a lot, but the scars are so painful. This is the first time he has seen so many bodies..."

Ogata smiled.

"It's just suffering."

...

...

After Ogata exposed his upper body, the people opposite immediately became quiet.

Those who spoke ill of Ogata just now even began to consciously avoid Ogata's eyes.

Those who belonged to the same camp as Ogata and questioned Ogata's strength just now also shut up.

Soon, people on both sides took off their clothes.

Ogata, who was shirtless, was standing right in the middle of their row.

After taking off his clothes, Ogata looked at the opposite side, and then looked at the left and right sides—whether it was the enemy or his own people, they were all warming up now, and shouting something loudly to cheer themselves up .

Although today's weather is not bad, there is a warm sun, and there is no piercing wind.

But even so, according to Ogata's speculation, the current temperature here is only about 2 or 3 degrees.

In such a low temperature, it is really difficult to not wear upper body clothes.

Even Ogata, who had a high vitality value and was far healthier than ordinary people, felt a little cold.

If Ogata was like this, let alone these Lucians beside him.

Ogata observed—many people are shivering slightly from the cold now, but everyone is holding on, only doing warm-ups constantly to warm up their bodies.

"Mashima."

Vahili on the side suddenly said to Ogata.

"For our event, we have to say something before we start."

I don't know if it was Ogata's illusion, but he always felt that Vasili's tone seemed to be respectful.

"You can understand it as open and white."

"Because you don't know our language, you don't need to shout after us."

Ogata nodded.

After looking away from Ogata, Vasily said something loudly to the people around him.

Then the people around shouted.

Then Vasily said something to the other side.

Immediately afterwards, the people on the opposite side also shouted.

Vasily cleared his throat.

Then, with the loudest voice he could achieve, he shouted:

"Силаи честь! (Lucian: strength and honor)"

Every time Vasili yelled, the people around and on the opposite side would repeat loudly what Vasili had just yelled.

"Победаилисмерть! (Lucian: victory or death)"

"Одинзавсехи всезаодного! (Lucian: I am for everyone, everyone for me)"

"Давайребят, вмажемпарням, убейтенахуй! (Guys! Come on!)"

After yelling the last sentence, Vasili took the lead and rushed towards the opposite side while shouting.

People around followed closely behind.

Because he didn't know that what Vasily said just now meant "Guys! Come on!", Ogata was half a beat behind before charging along with the people around him.

The human wall on the opposite side also rushed towards them with neat steps.

The two human walls rushed towards each other like this.

"%#￥@*%#@￥%\u0026! (Lucia)"

"@#%\u0026*! (Lucia)"

"￥%#@\u0026%￥#*￥%#￥@*%#@￥%\u0026! (Lucia)"

Shouts and roars that Ogata couldn't understand continued to come from around.

Both the Lucians from the same camp as Ogata and the Lucians from the opposing camp shouted loudly.

Finally—the two walls collided.

Everyone fights against each other.

"￥%#@\u0026%￥#*￥!" An extremely burly man who happened to be standing opposite Ogata rushed towards Ogata while shouting something Ogata couldn't understand.

The strong man's fist was almost half the size of Ogata's head.

Judging from his movements, this strong man seems to know a little bit about boxing.

After rounding his arms, the strong man put his feet around his waist, punched him with his belt, and slammed his fists hard at Ogata.

Facing the fist swung by the strong man, Ogata's response was——with a gentle movement like dodging a flying butterfly, he turned his head to avoid the fist swung by the strong man. fist.

Then, he swung his right arm round, aimed at the strong man's belly, and threw a straight right punch.

The speed and strength of his fist are far higher than the fist of this strong man just now.

Before the strong man had time to react, Ogata's fist landed on the strong man's belly.

"Puff cough cough cough...!" The strong man was like a soft-legged shrimp, covering the place where he was hit hard by Ogata's fist just now, and arched his waist.

After struggling a few times, he slowly fell to the ground.

【Ding! defeat the enemy]

[Get 35 points of personal experience]

[Current personal level: LV37 (2515/5800)]

Ogata didn't use any martial arts just now, he only used ordinary boxing, so Ogata only gained experience points at his personal level.

The only hand-to-hand combat technique that Ogata knows is Shiranuijutsu.

But this traditional activity in Lucia country can only use boxing, so Ogata can't use Shiranui Ju-Jitsu either.

Ogata does not know any boxing skills, and the only hand-to-hand combat technique he knows is still sealed

But Ogata is not afraid to fight with people.

After all - the two truths of "one force will drop ten times" and "only speed will not break" are most vividly reflected in unarmed combat.

After knocking down the strong man in front of him with one punch, Ogata immediately made a wrong step and found another opponent who was closest to him.

It was the same as before - another punch knocked the opponent to the ground.

With an agility value of 18 points, Ogata's fist speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

With 20 strength points, Ogata's fists are far more powerful than ordinary people.

With 15 points of reflexes, Ogata can easily dodge the fists of these people.

These people who were knocked down by Ogata's punch might never have thought of it - the man who knocked them down with his punch actually held back a little bit of strength and didn't try his best.

Because he was afraid that if he opened fire with full power, he would kill people.

When Ogata killed the third Lucian with his fist, someone finally noticed Ogata and took the initiative to attack Ogata.

He is a tall man with a height of more than 1.8 meters. He is just tall, and his arms are very long.

With his outstanding wingspan, the tall man landed a right uppercut to Ogata.

Ogata only lowered his body to avoid the tall man's attack, and then aimed at the tall man's belly with an unpretentious straight punch.

Unexpectedly, this tall man could withstand Ogata's punch.

The tall man took several steps back, retched a few times, stabilized his figure, then gritted his teeth, and said loudly:

"Sukabule! (Lucian: villain)"

Ogata finally heard a sentence in Lucia that he understood.

After the tall man uttered a foul language, he rushed towards Ogata again.

Although this tall man's courage and strength are commendable, but in the face of absolute poor strength, these efforts he made are of no use.

If one punch is not enough, then make another punch.

Ogata took a step ahead of the tall man, and landed another heavy punch on the tall man's chest.

This time, the tall man finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell heavily.
