Breathing Technique Swordsmanship

The current Shinomiya Kaguya, although not as cold as the Ice Kaguya due to her Diary, seems more human, but she is also not as head over heels in love as she was in the manga.

Now that Shinomiya Kaguya has decided to "sever all ties" and step out of the original story to enter the Reverse Side World and begin her own "leading lady" story, Miyauchi Hiyage is also curious to know how far she can ultimately go with the power of the Diary.

Of course, you can forget about him being someone's dog.

The other person's figure is indeed a bit pitiful.

Everyone says Flat-Under-Flat Yukino, but if you really compare them, Shinomiya Kaguya can't even sit at the same table Yukino Yukinoshita.

At least Yukinoshita has long legs, while Shinomiya Kaguya's petite figure is just not worth mentioning.

However, you can still try to take advantage of the resources that the Shinomiya Family has.

At least for now, those with extraordinary abilities in the Reverse Side World still have to abide by the rules of the Front World, and the wealth and power in the Front World can still accomplish a lot.

Shinomiya Kaguya's ordinary talent was able to join the Jujutsu High because of the Shinomiya Family behind her.

Thinking of this, Miyauchi Hiyage nodded slightly to Shinomiya Kaguya and gave her a smile that no one could dislike.

"Of course, my abilities go beyond these, and I already have the corresponding development ideas."

She's truly as excellent as ever.

Shinomiya Kaguya sighed inwardly, while also asking Miyauchi Hiyage what it felt like to awaken to transcendence, hoping to find a way to learn from him.

"I guess I should just keep my mind on high alert. After all, what happened that night was quite thrilling. If that female ghost hadn't been so uninterested in me, I probably wouldn't have made it to Mr. Satoru Gojo's arrival."

Miyauchi Hiyage briefly explained what happened that night, and also gave Shinomiya Kaguya some hints— Kanoe Yuko might have Diary.

After all, it was a magical artifact that could shield one's mind from influence and unleash extraordinary power in a short period of time, and which could not be mentioned.

The shrine maiden at the scene, Kanoe Yuko's true form, and Satoru Gojo all knew about these things, and this point was also mentioned in the Shadow Yuuko.

Sure enough, Shinomiya Kaguya almost lost her composure when she heard this.

A near-Special Grade Vengeful Spirit, possibly resembling Diary.

If it really is Diary, it means that the Vengeful Spirit may have forcibly stolen its own Diary after discovering the danger and then fled, its whereabouts now unknown.

This is not good news. We must quickly inform the girls in the group to be careful.

Such a powerful Vengeful Spirit, if she also has a Diary, who knows what she might do once she discovers the Diary's function!

Especially since the other party might be among the second batch of people to receive the Diary.

Even if there is still an inviolable protection between the two groups, what if someone just snatches a commission from each group they see?

The Diary clearly support the competition for the two groups of Diary holders.

A vengeful Vengeful Spirit filled with nothing but hatred, coupled with a mechanism that steals other people's commissions, who knows how many tragedies will occur!

Miyauchi Hiyage could naturally see the worries in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart. After all, everyone was so cunning, and what Shinomiya Kaguya could think of, he had naturally thought of on the very day he subdued Shadow Yuuko.

It seems there are no other second-batch holders of the Diary in Tokyo, so we can only rely on him to make a move.

After he brought Shadow Yuuko back to Tokyo, he planned to use this Diary to cause trouble.

Shinomiya Kaguya originally intended to probe the Miyauchi Hiyage, but the more skilled Miyauchi Hiyage quickly diverted her attention elsewhere.

Miyauchi Hiyage was still trying to comfort Shinomiya Kaguya, saying that it was just a Vengeful Spirit that wasn't even a Special Grade one. There were still quite a few Special Grade vengeful spirits in Japan, and if it dared to show itself again, it would definitely not get away with it.

"Furthermore, a shrine dedicated to Miss Kanoe Yuko is already under construction. If she can also become a god... In short, after Kanoe Yuko is enshrined, even if that evil Kanoe Yuko is promoted to Special Grade, she probably won't be a match for her."

Miyauchi Hiyage once again deliberately created an opening.

After all, he hadn't mentioned that Honma Meiko, Shinomiya Kaguya would surely have noticed the flaw in the word "also".

The naive Shinomiya Kaguya was indeed tricked. Seeing that Miyauchi Hiyage's "eyes were drifting upwards" again, she took this action as Miyauchi Hiyage's subconscious reaction when adjusting her thinking and making an explanation.

Shinomiya Kaguya has put some of the matter of Shadow Yuuko on her mind.

Miyauchi Hiyage is right. Even if the other party, a Vengeful Spirit close to the Special Grade, went to Tokyo, he certainly wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

However, she still expressed her desire to go with Miyauchi Hiyage to meet with that Kanoe Yuko and confirm the situation.

On the surface, she said that she was somewhat concerned about Kanoe Yuko's story from back then and wanted to learn more about the existence of the Reverse Side World.

Miyauchi Hiyage was going to meet with Kanoe Yuko again anyway, so there wasn't much of a problem with that.

After talking about this, Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to be thinking that after meeting Kanoe Yuko, she and Miyauchi Hiyage would go back to the Jujutsu High together, and she could also help Miyauchi Hiyage with the enrollment procedures.

"Huh, didn't Mr. Satoru Gojo tell you that?" Miyauchi Hiyage said with some doubt.

"Mr. Satoru Gojo had already extended an invitation to me before, but I'm actually thinking of learning more about the Reverse Side World before making a decision."

Miyauchi Hiyage rubbed his head, looking quite "honest".

"Although Mr. Nanami. Mr. Nanami has been very kind to me and helped me a lot, he has also talked to me about his dissatisfaction with his 'job'. So I don't plan to enroll in the Jujutsu High for the time being. I'll make a decision after I understand the situation better."

Miyauchi Hiyage then mentioned the invitations extended to him by Chichibu Shrine and Kannon Temple.

Leaving aside the Kannon Temple, the conditions offered by the Chichibu Shrine might also lead them to groom him as the next priest of the Chichibu Shrine.

In comparison, the Jujutsu High is just a regular admission program. Apart from having the "strongest" Satoru Gojo as a teacher, there don't seem to be any other special privileges.

This made Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly realize that Miyauchi Hiyage was different from her.

The Shinomiya Family held little status in the Reverse Side World; it was only through their vast resources that the Jujutsu High opened its doors to her.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage is a superhuman who has already awakened extraordinary powers.

Even disregarding the extent of Miyauchi Hiyage's awakened abilities, his innate talent and character, along with the bond between him and Honma Meiko, are enough to attract the attention of the supernatural forces surrounding Miyauchi Hiyage Chichibu Region.

Shinto, Buddhism, Jujutsu High —these are the three forces that Miyauchi Hiyage has dealt with and that have extended invitations to him. They are among the most powerful supernatural forces in Japan.

No wonder Miyauchi Hiyage addressed Satoru Gojo with a somewhat unfamiliar tone.

In that case, Miyauchi Hiyage doesn't need to rush to make a decision. He can cultivate good relationships with all three factions at the same time and then wait for the right opportunity to sell.

Shinomiya quickly came up with several ways to maximize the benefits for Miyauchi Hiyage.

She has a real-world background and is a student at Jujutsu High, while Meiko Honma Meiko Chichibu Shrine. With a little maneuvering, it's possible to bring more benefits to Miyauchi Hiyage.

If Miyauchi Hiyage can get this point out during the process, a connection will be established between them.

"I understand. You have talent, so you can't make a decision so quickly," Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage. "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help."

"Although my current strength is not high, I can still put in a good word for you at the Jujutsu High."

Miyauchi Hiyage made a gesture of gratitude. He didn't care where he worked, and he wouldn't mind even if Conan's the Organization came to recruit him and gave him the title of "Moutai".

Anyway, he's already prepared to build his own superhuman power, so wherever he goes, he'll just be a slacker.

After discussing all of this, Shinomiya Kaguya finally made her final request.

That is, he wants to have a simple sparring match with Miyauchi Hiyage using Ripple.

Chapter 217: Breathing Technique and Swordplay

In the contest between Shinomiya Kaguya and the Ripple Breathing of the Miyauchi Hiyage, Shinomiya Kaguya suffered a complete defeat.

Even though Shinomiya Kaguya possessed over a year's worth of Ripple strength, Miyauchi Hiyage only used a negligible amount of Ripple within her.

However, there are differences in physical constitution and talent among people.

Just like Jonathan Joestar, who had only been practicing Ripple Breathing for less than a month, he was already able to use various Ripple to fight against the undead and Dio, who had turned into Vampires.

After awakening his extraordinary abilities, Miyauchi Hiyage gradually and methodically removed the seal on his physique.

After all, he was already judged to have the potential to become a Level 1 before his extraordinary awakening. If he couldn't reveal more potential after his extraordinary awakening, then wouldn't his extraordinary awakening have been in vain?

Holding 7% of the unsealed Pure Yang Body, plus different types of Ripple Chi Kung, even though Shinomiya Kaguya's total amount was larger, she lacked the precise operational ability of Miyauchi Hiyage. By the time Shinomiya Kaguya came to her senses, she had already been subdued by Miyauchi Hiyage.

"If it were a few days earlier, I might not be your match, but some things have happened these past few days that have given me some new ideas about Breathing Technique." Looking at Miyauchi Hiyage's smiling face, Shinomiya Kaguya knew that the extraordinary awakening a few days ago and the trip to the other world last night had probably allowed this genius to undergo another transformation.

This disparity made Shinomiya Kaguya realize that even if she fought Miyauchi Hiyage a hundred more times, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat Miyauchi Hiyage even once.

The two have vastly different abilities to control Ripple.

She's still practicing the Breathing Technique given by the You Know Who here in a formulaic way, while Miyauchi Hiyage has spent a few days adjusting her breathing rhythm and starting to study the derivative uses of Ripple Breathing.

Moreover, all these derivative uses were developed together with Shiina Mashiro in a short period of time.

Shinomiya Kaguya even felt that if she were to teach Miyauchi Hiyage the Crimson Blade and the Transparent World training method, Miyauchi Hiyage would probably be able to reach that level in a very short time.

Seeing the boy displaying amazing talent before her, Shinomiya Kaguya quickly made a decision.

That afternoon, Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage obtained the sword techniques that accompanied other Breathing Technique that Shinomiya Kaguya had not shared in the group, as well as information on the Crimson Blade and the Transparent World.

Shinomiya Kaguya naturally didn't provide specific Breathing Technique or Demon Slayer Mark.

After all, while there are many similarities between Breathing Technique and Ripple Breathing, a careful comparison reveals too many differences. Shinomiya Kaguya, feeling that it was difficult to explain, simply did not provide the details of the Breathing Technique, only saying that they were sword techniques passed down from generation to generation in the Demon Slayer Corps. However, how to coordinate them with the rhythm of the Breathing Technique depended on individual understanding.

In short, it's about letting the genius Miyauchi Hiyage figure out how to match these sword techniques with Ripple Breathing.

If the other party manages to figure it out, she can also learn more attack methods from Miyauchi Hiyage.

Even if we can't figure it out, it's just a temporary abandonment of the plan to combine Breathing Technique with Ripple Breathing.

As for the Demon Slayer Mark, it goes without saying that both the You Know Who and the old head of the Ubuyashiki family have stated that after activating the Demon Slayer Mark, one will continuously lose life force. Apart from Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the creator of the Breathing Technique, no Breath Swordsmen has activated the Demon Slayer Mark has been able to live past the age of 25.

If she were to give this away, it would seem as if she wanted Miyauchi Hiyage to die early, and she couldn't bear to see a genius like Miyauchi Hiyage die like that.

"As for the Nichirin Blades, I've already found a specialized swordsmith at the Jujutsu High. They should be able to forge it into a mid-level spell weapon. I'll send it to you once it's finished."

Upon hearing this, even though Miyauchi Hiyage had already been thinking about finding some sword techniques to practice, he had to pretend to decline.

After all, Unlimited Blade Works has already been obtained. Even if one can rely on the user's memories attached to the projected Swords to wield Swords, one still needs to have some knowledge of the Swords.

"How can this be? I have never practiced swordsmanship before. Giving me the Nichirin Blades would be such a waste."

Of course, this was only said to Shinomiya Kaguya.

Miyauchi Hiyage had indeed never practiced swordsmanship, since there were no opportunities to do so in Asahigaoka.

However, the various rewards offered by the Diary are basically top-tier.

The reward for Ripple Breathing was that all the memories and experiences related to Ripple Breathing were instilled into him.

The Pure Yang Body is said to come from Genshin Impact, but Miyauchi Hiyage feels that the effect of his Pure Yang Body is probably enough to kill Chongyun from Genshin Impact, and it would probably be enough to fight in those Xianxia novels.

Even the Relic chip from the cyberpunk 2077 world came with computer technology, turning him into a master hacker.

While the Unlimited Blade Works that Miyauchi Hiyage obtained is not a projection of an entire world like the original Noble Phantasm, it is currently just an empty shell.

However, it also improved Miyauchi Hiyage's control over Unlimited Blade Works and his affinity for Swords.

In any case, Miyauchi Hiyage's talent for Swords is definitely maxed out thanks to the Diary's rewards. Even if he had never been exposed to swordsmanship before, it wouldn't put any pressure on Miyauchi Hiyage.

The multiple incantations required for Red Archer and Shirou Emiya can be reduced to a single phrase, "Unlimited Blade Works," which can be silently recited in one's mind without even being spoken aloud.

Similarly, this grand magic, which is close to magic, also adds the sword attribute to Miyauchi Hiyage's magic attribute, and removes the defect of not being able to project divinely created weapons. However, it still has the setting that the projected Noble Phantasm will be one level lower than the original Noble Phantasm.

Of course, the holy sword that almost killed Tohru was an exception. After all, the sword spirit of that holy sword was still residing in the head of Miyauchi Hiyage. Although the other party was not very cooperative, the holy sword he projected could achieve all the original holy sword's attributes except that the material was slightly brittle. However, he could only project one at a time, so he couldn't project a screen full of holy swords to give the enemy a little shock of divine weapons after pulling someone into Unlimited Blade Works.

As for whether Miyauchi Hiyage's origin attribute has changed, it's unknown. However, with the Diary, the origin attribute is not important to Miyauchi Hiyage, a transmigrator from another world.

Listening to Shinomiya Kaguya expressing her belief in her own abilities, and saying that after entering the Reverse Side World, she would need a good weapon for self-defense, and finally saying that she could personally find someone to teach Miyauchi Hiyage the basics of swordsmanship.

Hearing Shinomiya Kaguya's sincere tone, after deliberately declining her Shinomiya Kaguya for a while, Miyauchi Hiyage finally reluctantly accepted Shinomiya Kaguya's kindness.

He knew that besides trying to win him over, Shinomiya Kaguya probably wanted to test his talent further, to see if he was really that genius and could demonstrate his abilities in every aspect.

So, in order to prove himself, Miyauchi Hiyage actually studied the Breathing Technique given by Shinomiya Kaguya, and then pondered for a while.

Then, to Shinomiya Kaguya's astonished gaze, he used a prop knife from the photography studio to execute a complete set of Water Breathing sword techniques.

It was a bit raw, but the brilliance in her swordplay almost blinded Shinomiya Kaguya.

Although she honed her swordsmanship through Reading Points, she still possesses basic observational skills.

It's important to understand that sword techniques based on Breathing Technique are only effective when used in conjunction with specific Breathing Technique. If you simply practice swordsmanship without the power and speed provided by Breathing Technique, the entire sword technique will actually place very high demands on your body.

Just like the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, without the ghostly speed after the cut, it's just a third-rate sword technique no matter who uses it.

While Water Breathing is the easiest sword technique to learn among all Breathing Technique, it still emphasizes overall flexibility and continuous, flowing strikes, requiring considerable endurance.

However, aside from being somewhat clumsy, Miyauchi Hiyage's first display of swordsmanship was quite complete overall. After completing the entire set of swordsmanship in conjunction with Ripple Breathing, he showed no signs of fatigue except for being slightly out of breath.

Even his eyes were still so bright, and after finishing the first practice session, he had already begun to ponder the problems in the sword technique he had just used.

"You... you've really never been exposed to kendo before?" Shinomiya Kaguya had been hit with a lot of setbacks today.

"If I really had to say, it would probably be that when I was a kid, I would just swing a wooden stick around like a sword. I have a pretty good memory, and my coordination and flexibility are passable. With the help of Breathing Technique, I could barely manage to imitate the sword techniques," Miyauchi Hiyage replied with a smile, and even gave a demonstration of his somewhat clumsy sword-sheathing.

Even if someone has an exceptional familiarity with Swords, and the Swords feel like an extension of their body when they hold them, without specialized training, an expert can spot several problems with almost a single movement.
