Chereads / Demon Sword: The Strongest Samurai / Chapter 4 - Sword Academy

Chapter 4 - Sword Academy

"Then there is no other way!" He continued, nodding his head slightly.

Yashu's flat face suddenly let out a lopsided smile, it was the first time she smiled at the three guards in front of him.

"Hoo, look, this bastard can smile now." One of the guards sneered as he put his palms together.

"Knock…knock!"

The sound of the bones of the guards' fingers was ready to beat the shabby youth in front of him.

"Greetings to the elder!" Yashu bowed in a polite voice toward the back of the guards.

Hearing this, the guards were shocked and spontaneously turned back while bowing slightly.

But they felt something strange, and when they raised their heads to face forward, there was no one there, the three guards glared at the same time with black faces.

"You crazy selfless beggar, I'm going to chop...?"

"Where did that bastard go?" One of the guards shouted, realizing that Yashu was no longer there.

The guard immediately drew the sword at his waist full of anger, and his two comrades also followed, they had lost their temper.

"You bastard..."

"Crazy beggar… I will split your body." The screams of the three supervisors echoed around the area.

On the other hand, Yashu only chuckled after successfully tricking the guards, now he had entered the clan area and immediately headed to the clan member registration area.

Of course, he had memorized the area very well, although some of the buildings and roads had undergone a lot of changes in the past 3 years.

Now, Yashu was walking leisurely while reminiscing about his past everywhere he passed, and without realizing it he finally arrived in front of a sword school gate.

Inside is a fairly large area with elongated and multi-story buildings, that area is the training ground for clan disciples.

Yashu's favorite spots are the main training field which is almost 500 meters wide and several other special fields.

Yashu immediately entered, his eyes slightly widened behind the black cloth covering his eyes, he could see the shadow of his past while practicing half to death in the wide field.

The slightly dusty grass field was still the same as before, not much had changed, the clan disciples seemed to be training seriously, sharpening their sword moves.

The clan itself established the school specifically for the younger generation, the school was better known as an academy, The academy is divided into two classes, namely junior and senior students.

Junior students are those who are under 20 years old, while senior students are those aged 21-30 years.

But on the other hand, there are also main students, they are selected students who are appointed as personal disciples by the elders, and of course are greatly admired by all circles, even by the clan chief himself.

To the higher-ups of the clan, a prime disciple was a valuable asset, whether of the junior or senior class, and even all of the top disciples were ranked in the top 10 best disciples in the past year until now.

The ranking is determined through a tournament that is held every year. Yashu already knew all that, for the younger generations, becoming a master-disciple and ranking in the top 10 was the only goal, as it would change their fate for the better.

A moment later, Yashu immediately came to his senses and tried to find the registration place, he walked through the field side area so as not to disturb the clan members who were practicing, but because of his very conspicuous appearance, made several students pay attention to him.

"Who is that strange-looking person?" One of the junior students who was training with his friends looked a little confused and wore a disdainful expression.

Just by looking at his appearance, he could tell that the young man before them was impoverished.

"I don't know, it's my first time seeing it too."

"Don't mind him, at least he's just a newbie who wants to join the clan."

"I agree, the clan has announced the acceptance of new students to remote villages, he must be one of them."

"Hmm, I'm a little relieved, it seems that the new members who want to enlist are not so strong!"

"You may be right, but I heard a few days ago, 4 new members were immediately accepted without passing the eligibility test, even though they were immediately appointed as main disciples by several elders."

"Is that true?"

"Of course, but after all, it's only 4 students, the rest are just trash that's just learning to wield a sword, in short, they're not much different from that freak. Hehe."

"Alright, let's not talk about the new students, we should continue training."

The group of junior members ignored Yashu's presence and continued to practice.

But on the other hand, 3 junior members of the other group suddenly confronted Yashu.

They wore sinister expressions and looked at Yashu with disdain, "Look, what is a beggar doing here?" The slightly chubby man stood and puffed out his chest while mocking Yashu, he and his two comrades also looked grim.

"Haha. Chief, he must have entered the wrong way, thinking this place is a shelter for beggars and the blind." The loud laughter of the thin man standing to the right of the fat man.

"I just wanted to register as a clan member without any problems, did you guys come to show me the way?" Yashu replied slightly lowering himself, he doesn't mind bad thoughts about himself.

"Haa!!! Did you hear that, he wants us to show you the way!"

"Ha ha ha! Crazy bastard."

The three young men laughed out loud holding their stomachs and foreheads, they never thought the shabby young man in front of him was so innocent and stupid.

After they had finished laughing, they whispered to each other, then gave off an evil smile.

"Since you're so honest, we'll be kind enough to show you the way, not only that, We will also ask our acquaintances to help us directly accept you as a member, how about that? Is that enough?" Said the fat young man with a sly smile.

Yashu was silent for a moment, he knew the boys were playing a prank on him, "Alright, I'll follow you guys, and very grateful for the help, I hope you don't break your promise!" Yashu replied casually, he didn't flinch in the slightest toward some of the snot-nosed students.

"Of course, a samurai would never break his promise!" Said the dark-skinned man to the left of the fat man.

"Mmm, I see!"

Yashu nodded and then followed the three delinquents who wanted to prank him.

On the other hand, several senior members and a group of other members who saw Yashu with the 3 delinquents could only shake their heads.

"That country boy is finished, he's too innocent!"

"That's better, after all a weak young man like that is impossible for the clan to accept, he will be brought to his senses early!"

"It seems that the seniors are also deliberately letting it go!"

"You guys have too much time worrying about other people."

Some students could only discuss loving Yashu from a distance, they didn't even realize who the person they loved was.

Now, Yashu was led to a narrow alley that was so quiet, there was no one other than the four of them walking in the area.
