The New Commander (Azur Lane Fanfiction)

Chapter 34 Takao the Swordswoman in training

In a beautiful, cool, day. In the Sakura Empire's Sword Training building, their Dojo

There, we see Yamatomo, the Commander of Azur Lane, and the one who is taking care of the Ship girls is there. Wearing his old Elite Kendō uniform

On his hip, lies two of his weapons

His Shikomizue, his very expensive sword, made by the best bladesmith in the world. Commonly known as the hidden katana

And his Bokken, made by the best carpenter in the world

Both swords grip (and the blade of the Bokken) are made by the strongest wood in the world called Australian Buloke. Or what Yamatomo called it "For the Australian Navy Blokes"

And the blade of his Shikomizue is made by tungsten steel

In front of Yamatomo, is Takao. One of Skaura Empires strongest swordswoman

Today, The request paper that Takao gave him is another sword duel

Because he has nothing better to do, he then got his Kendo uniform and go

He then unsheathes his Bokken. The Shikomizue is only used for real duels or someone who looks stronger than him

But for Takao, who has super human strength because she is a World War 2 Ship before, she is a cruiser, and in human equivalent, a heavy light swordsman (heavy hitter, moves and attacks light). It doesn't concern him

He then took his sword style posture

Takao did the same

Silence~~~~

"Jee the air here is heavy here! Get goin' already! The live audience is getting impatient!" Whined Kuzaki, his childhood best friend who is holding a camera

Breathes in

Breathes out

"Hup!"

"Hup!"

Both Yamatomo and Takao charged up to each other. And Yamatomo is on a defensive stance

"If you want to be better-" Yamatomo then blocks her swing with his Bokken

"-try focus on your supposed target, you are in a rather messy aggressive attack. If you want to perfect your aggressiveness-" he then blocks another hit, he then took a swing

Takao dodged it easily

"To perfect your aggressiveness, focus. And be patient. Patience is key, whatever." As he then puts his right hand on his back "Look, I'm using one hand see. Now go."

"HHAAHP!" Takao swings downwards on to Yamatomo

*Clank!*

"Your strength as a Cruiser is a compliment, almost like a perk."

He then proceeds to kick Takao's stomach. Takao didn't react in time and took the hit

She knelt down as she holds her abdomen and groaning in pain

"But, please don't use emotion and use your focus."

"Seriously, this is what my master did before, but I didn't groan in pain on the ground when I did that." (Yamatomo)

"Oi, Oi, Oi. Go easy on her, Maz. She's just a little "inexperienced" thats all." As Kuzaki dragged her on the nearby wall

"Here drink this." He gave her a tea that calm oneself's mind

"You OK?" Kuzaki asked

"Y-Yeah, thank you." (Takao)

"Hey, ignore this bastards teaching, I somehow understood half of what Sword training is. But what the common key elements is, calm down, emotions should be checked so they wouldn't be a bother, and focus." (Kuzaki)
