Chapter 359 - The Glory of the Iza Family (2/2)

Xiao Bing was digesting what he had gained when the door opened from outside with a squeak and Iza Kawatani came in.

Iza Kawatani looked at Xiao Bing and the sword marks on the wall, asking, “Have you learned anything?”

Xiao Bing was still contemplative. At Iza Kawatani’s question, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes.”

That didn’t mean Iza Kawatani was much stronger than Xiao Bing. Everyone had their strengths and had something for others to learn. Xiao Bing couldn’t attain Iza Kawatani’s achievements in kendo, but he could absorb the essence from this aspect and apply it to himself.

Iza Kawatani grunted with satisfaction and asked, “Let’s find a place to talk.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing looked away, bowed respectfully to Iza Kawatani, and said, “Thank you for your guidance. I’ve greatly benefited from it.”

Iza Kawatani said with emotion, “You discovered so many things just from the sword marks on the wall. This is your talent. I showed them to you because I saw your talent. You don’t need to thank me.”

Xiao Bing stopped thanking him, but he knew in his heart that he had gained a lot today.

Iza Kawatani took Xiao Bing out of the practice room and to another place. This room was spartan and was probably a temporary lounge. When they sat down, Iza Kawatani looked at Xiao Bing with somewhat loving eyes, like an elder looking at a younger child in his home. He said, “I’ve talked to Nami, and she’s interested in you.”

Xiao Bing did not expect that Iza Kawatani would talk about home affairs or love affairs with him. He was a little surprised. Princess Nami took a fancy to Xiao Bing. If he said that he did not like Princess Nami, it would be insensible of him. Xiao Bing was not interested in Princess Nami, who was beautiful and too noble for him. If he was only interested in a one-night stand with her, the whole royal family of Country R would kill him. If he married her, what about Yezi? Xiao Bing did not want to feel guilty towards Yezi.

Xiao Bing could only say, “Princess Nami has a noble status, and she’s the belle of the country. Every man in Country R adores her. I’m just an ordinary warrior, so I’m not good enough for her.”

“What’s wrong with a warrior?” Iza Kawatani’s face changed, his look became sharp, and he exuded an awesome majesty. He snorted, “If there was no warrior, would there be a glorious history in Country R? Although science and technology have made advances and the role of warriors has decreased, you can still do a lot of things as a mighty warrior. You must always be proud of being a warrior. ”

Xiao Bing immediately looked chastened and lowered his head, “I, Aoki Ichiro, stands corrected.”

“Well,” Iza Kawatani smiled again. “Child, you are still very young, so you’re very flexible. Do you know why I show such an interest in you?”

Xiao Bing shook his head.

Iza Kawatani said, “The moment I saw you, I realize that you’re a genius in martial arts. From your physical and psychological qualities, I saw that you’re one in a million. My apprentice is inferior to you in terms of talent. I’ve said these things before, and I’m going to say something else. ”

Xiao Bing breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I’m all ears.”

Iza Kawatani said: “You must know about the history of the Iza family. Although it is His Majesty who rules this country, the glory of our Iza family cannot be covered by the royal family because the blood of the founding ancestors have been flowing through our family for generations. Maybe that is a legend for most people, but for members of the Iza family, it has been our family who has ruled the martial world throughout history. For example, I’m the first warrior in the world, and I’m known as the God of War.

“If I’m only an old man, I don’t care about these vanities. However, this is the glory of the whole line of the Iza family, so I don’t want to terminate it!

“A few years ago, Nami’s parents died unexpectedly. Nami was a girl, and she was surprisingly lacking in martial arts skill. This is rare in the entire history of the Iza family. Although her father didn’t love martial arts, he had an extraordinary talent. But now… with his death, the hope of our Iza family will be lost.

“So, I thought hard, and finally got an idea. When I saw you today, I felt this to be an opportunity for you and the Iza family.” Iza Kawatani’s eyes flashed with a crazy light as he stared at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing squirmed under his gaze as he listened to Iza Kawatani’s slow but insane words, “Now, the Iza family can only count on you to maintain its glory, Aoki Ichiro!”
