Tanjiro didn't even have time to greet Teiichi before quickly turning around to look.
Inosuke was seen pushing himself up from the ground.
He had just been running quickly in the courtyard.
It was supposed to turn.
As a result, Zenitsu's words made him subconsciously turn his head to look.
Then it crashed spectacularly into a tree.
" Inosuke, are you alright?" Tanjiro called out with some concern.
Inosuke ignored him and staggered to his feet.
"Hateful..."
I shook my head, trying to shake off some of the dizziness.
Then Inosuke pointed at Teiichi.
"Hey!... emmm... Bandage Monster!"
Upon Teiichi, Ding Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Has he forgotten his own name?
"It's Mr. Kato! Mr. Kato!" Tanjiro corrected.
"Stop being so verbose!"
Inosuke said impatiently, then continued to look at Teiichi.
"Didn't you say you'd duel me as soon as you got back? Is it okay now?"
Tanjiro hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Inosuke and said:
" Inosuke, let's wait a couple more days, until Mr. Kato's injuries have healed a bit more."
Inosuke said with dissatisfaction:
"Huh? I've been waiting for almost 20 days! When will his injuries finally heal?"
Isn't he Bandage Monster? Why is he recovering so slowly?
Tanjiro raised a hand to his forehead, "So, I already said Mr. Kato isn't Bandage Monster!"
Teiichi chuckled and looked at Inosuke, saying, "Sure! Let's do it today!"
Tanjiro hesitated for Teiichi and asked, " Mr. Kato, is everything alright?"
Teiichi smiled at Tanjiro, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"
Upon hearing Inosuke immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Ha, that's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
After saying that, he quickly ran towards where the weapons were kept and picked up his twin swords.
Teiichi followed, casually picking up a training wooden sword.
"Anon, Mr. Kato, are you sure you're okay with a wooden sword?" Zenitsu asked cautiously.
Don't worry, there won't be any problems!
Teiichi spoke, they arrived at a relatively open space.
On the other side, Inosuke had already excitedly run over.
Teiichi hand, then slightly raised his gaze to look at Inosuke opposite him.
The Boar's Head obscured Inosuke's face, but excited giggles could be heard emanating from Boar's Head.
"Watch me!"
Inosuke shouted excitedly.
He then applied slight pressure with his palm, tightening his grip on the Nichirin Blade.
With his hands crossed in front of him, the Nichirin Blade came to his shoulders on either side.
" Beast Breathing - Eighth Form - Explosive Rush!"
Inosuke shouted, and in the next instant, he rushed towards Teiichi top speed.
Tanjiro couldn't help but sigh as he watched Inosuke running rapidly in the distance.
" Inosuke has gotten so much faster again!"
"Huh? Really? I feel fine!"
Zenitsu said something from the side, then, as if he had noticed something, he immediately pointed at the two people in the distance and said somewhat nervously:
"Hey! Tanjiro, are you alright? Why isn't Mr. Kato moving? Inosuke is already swinging his sword at him!"
Don't worry, you'll see!
Tanjiro smiled upon hearing this.
He was like this when he was training under Mr. Kato's tutelage.
That minuscule difference remained an insurmountable barrier in his path.
far away.
Teiichi calmly gazed at Inosuke and the two Nichirin Blade that were attacking him from both sides.
4 centimeters...
3 centimeters...
2 centimeters...
1 centimeter...
Teiichi finally moved.
With a slight push of his feet, he quickly took two steps back.
Whoosh--!
The Nichirin Blade was pressed against the clothing, yet it also seemed as if it wasn't pressed against the clothing at all.
Swing it quickly before the Teiichi can stop.
Without a second thought, Inosuke continued to wield his Nichirin Blade, slashing rapidly.
The sounds of 'swish swish swish swish' rang out incessantly.
A dense barrage of sword flashes appeared continuously around Teiichi.
Teiichi fluttered like a gentle breeze amidst the flashing blades.
He seemed within reach, yet I could never quite touch him.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Inosuke cursed angrily, his slashes becoming even faster.
" Beast Breathing - Second Fang - Slice!"
No!
" Beast Breathing - Fifth Fang - Crazy Cutting!"
No!
" Beast Breathing - First Fang - Pierce!"
No!
" Beast Breathing - Third Fang - Fang Tear..."
Inosuke felt a blur before his eyes, as if a bolt of lightning had flashed by.
The next moment.
Bang! Bang!
A knocking sound rang out.
Wooden swords landed repeatedly on Inosuke's wrist, which was holding the sword.
The spot where he was hit quickly turned red, Nichirin Blade uncontrollably slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
The weapons fell to the ground, and the battle temporarily ceased.
Teiichi looked at Inosuke and said, "Remember this, this is a blind spot for your move! Remember to adjust it next time you use it!"
Without replying, Inosuke silently flexed his wrist, which had just been struck, then crouched down and picked up his Nichirin Blade.
So strong!
He's better than everyone I've ever met!
but...
It's decided!!
You are the last stepping stone on my path to becoming stronger!!!
Inosuke roared,
"Ah! Prepare to die, Bandage Monster! Behold my charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!"
The sounds of slashing attacks echoed through the courtyard once again.
Each ringing sound signified that Inosuke's attack had missed once again.
From time to time, there were also occasional loud banging sounds.
Looking at Inosuke in the distance, who was getting more and more excited as the fight went on, shouting louder and shouting louder, and getting more and more red marks on his body.
Zenitsu's lips twitched involuntarily.
He had completely realized that this was blatant masochism!
To him, their fight was nothing more than an old man toying with a child!
Unlike Zenitsu, Tanjiro looked excited.
He didn't really want to fight Mr. Kato.
After all, I've experienced it before.
Initially, there was significant progress.
However, after reaching a certain level of progress, further progress becomes very slow.
All that's left is pain!
But seeing Inosuke so serious, he couldn't help but get excited too.
This is youth!
It seems I'll have to talk to Mr. Kato again later.
I need to spar with Mr. Kato myself!
" Beast Breathing - Third Fang - Devour!"
Whoosh--!
The Nichirin Blade slashed across.
The light tapping sensation on his wrist again told Inosuke that there was still a problem with this move.
However, Inosuke didn't seem to care much.
With a release of his five fingers, the Nichirin Blade paused in mid-air before rapidly falling to the ground.
However, Inosuke's movements were faster than the Nichirin Blade falling.
His hand swiftly reached into his pocket, and when he pulled it out again, he was holding four small, jet-black beads between his fingers.
Inosuke grinned and laughed loudly:
"Try this trick of mine!"
" Boar Blast!"
