However, when her gaze fell upon the stack of government documents she had shoved under her desk, her face immediately fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So tired...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Teppei suited for swordsmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was difficult to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Luo had mentioned before, Himura Kenshin was once named Shinta, but his master changed it to Kenshin because Shinta was too gentle a name for a swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teppei was also a gentle name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tei\" (平) means balance—no tilting, no rough edges, like the still surface of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would someone with such a name be suited for wielding a sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was hard to determine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because sometimes, a heart as still as water was precisely what was needed to master the highest forms of swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Sangonomiya Shrine, Bai Luo made his way to the meeting place where he had arranged to meet Teppei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of anything else, he had already promised to teach him swordsmanship, and Bai Luo was a man of his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the south of Bourou Village was an open clearing, often used for training. Sometimes, it was also the site of bonfire gatherings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practicing swordsmanship here seemed appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they had agreed to meet in the afternoon, but Bai Luo had nothing else to do in Bourou Village except be stared at like a monkey in a zoo. So, he decided to arrive early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Teppei had arrived even earlier than he did. The young man was already practicing, earnestly swinging a wooden sword in proper form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battousai-sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw Bai Luo, Teppei immediately stopped and ran over excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sensei,\" huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a nice title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it, Bai Luo’s mind suddenly flashed to the image of a small, young figure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if little Collei will ever call me \"Sensei\" one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not. That little girl would rather punch me in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad for her—no matter how strong she is, I’ll always be stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to beat a Harbinger? Not a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Traveler and the Archon can do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just call me Himura-san. Teaching you swordsmanship doesn’t mean I have to be your master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the look of disappointment on Teppei’s face, it was clear that he had wanted to call him Sensei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Bai Luo had already said so, Teppei wasn’t going to insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you learned swordsmanship before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the way Teppei held his wooden sword, his form seemed somewhat proper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Bai Luo curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I learned some in the village, but only the basics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teppei smiled sheepishly, avoiding mention of how he had been kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have learned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Luo was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Shogunate, the Resistance was steadily declining. Even though the Vision Hunt Decree had temporarily strengthened them, it was only a fleeting boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Kazuha’s accounts, Bai Luo had gained some understanding of the situation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Teppei, who had even the slightest grasp of swordsmanship, he should have been sent to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could wield a weapon properly, it was unlikely he’d be left behind in Watatsumi Village as a logistics soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack me. Let me see what you’ve learned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teaching someone meant first understanding their foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bai Luo’s swordsmanship was granted by the system, in order to fully harness his Class’s potential, the system also provided him with an intuitive understanding of sword techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if that understanding was retracted whenever he switched Classes, his extensive experience as Battousai had given him unique insights into the art of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teppei wasn’t worried about accidentally injuring Bai Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his own skills well enough—if the infamous Battousai got hurt by him, that would be an absolute joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Teppei gripped his wooden sword tightly and charged at Bai Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he swung, the wooden blade sliced through the air with a sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His swordsmanship was slightly unrefined, but his strength was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely had what it took to fight on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Teppei executed three strikes, Bai Luo finally realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and firmly pressed down on Teppei’s wooden sword, letting out a small sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teppei stood there like a child caught doing something wrong, nervous and unsure of what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had tried his best to execute the moves he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On your first thrust, why did you aim for my shoulder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thrust was one of the most fundamental sword techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also one of the most lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For veteran swordsmen like Kaedehara Kazuha and Kamisato Ayato, a thrust was always directed at the enemy’s throat or heart—because only a killing blow could maximize the technique’s effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Luo, for the fun of it, aimed for the kidneys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite having a firm grip and a sharp execution, Teppei had deliberately avoided Bai Luo’s vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just with the thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all three of his attacks, he had never gone for a fatal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His targets were the shoulder, the arm, and the hand—none of which would be lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Teppei...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really was a gentle swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>. . . . .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to see more Chapter of this story and don’t mind to pay $5 monthly to read till the latest Chapter, please go to myPatreon1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Chapter in Patreon:Chapter 185: Nowhere to Run1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link to the current Chapter:\u002Fposts\u002F128924511?collection=1744251\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u002Fcollection\u002F174425?view=condensed1\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-05-30T06:28:59.458Z","2026-06-01T04:30:32.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","71e3009b5b5da1c9db9723594e9575a3bb0327792f4ce60d3d86a51e3ca33cbc","genshin-impact-i-m-the-envoy-of-snezhnaya-chapter-153","genshin-impact-i-m-the-envoy-of-snezhnaya-chapter-151",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-impact-i-m-the-envoy-of-snezhnaya-cover.jpg"]
