There was a lively atmosphere inside and outside the cafeteria.

…

…

After breakfast, the soldiers returned to Training Ground A.

This time, instead of all gathering together, they dispersed and reported to their respective captains.

The soldiers of the First Division headed by Shimada Kui lined up in a neat line, facing their captain: Souji, who was putting his hands on his hips.

To be honest, when he learned that his captain was such a handsome boy, Shimada Kui looked down on him in his heart.

He is petite, fair-skinned, has a feminine face, and has a face that is very popular among Taoists. He is always chewing Jinpei candy in his mouth... Is such a guy really qualified to lead the Shinsengumi's strongest unit?

?

Such doubts disappeared only after the "Punucha Group's subjugation operation" ended a few days ago.

Shimada Kui was completely convinced by the way the Souji was chopping down the enemies like he was chopping melons and vegetables, and he willingly accepted her command.

The physical bonus and morale boost brought by a good meal are obvious.

Looking around, every soldier on the training ground has a red face, bright eyes, and extremely full energy. They are all gearing up and wishing to start training as soon as possible.

After eating seven large bowls of meat porridge, Shimada Kuiren patted his round belly with satisfaction and let out a big burp.

He now feels warm all over his body, and his body seems to be filled with endless energy!

——You should start practicing martial arts now, right?

In Shimada Kui's eyes...or, in the perception of most people in this era, "soldier training" and "martial arts training" are equated.

Martial arts is the most important quality a soldier should possess.

If you can't even use weapons well, how can you fight?

Shimada Kui is very confident in his swordsmanship.

He dedicated most of his life to kendo.

Although I don’t dare to claim to be a genius or master, I still have some ability.

As long as he reaches the training stage to hone his martial arts, he can naturally show off his strengths and attract the attention of both Souji and Aomori!

Because he excelled in martial arts training, he was appreciated by Aoto and promoted along the way - Shimada Kui couldn't help but feel obscene.

However... the reality before his eyes was far from his imagination.

——Strange... Why is Okita-sama empty-handed? Where is the wooden sword? Where is the bamboo sword? Without wooden swords and bamboo swords, how will we practice martial arts? Is it possible that we should continue running to improve our physical fitness?

Just when Shimada Kui was wondering, the smart ponytail tied with a purple ribbon finally flicked up and down:

"Ahem!"

The Souji coughed twice, attracting the attention of the first team members.

"I'm not good with words, so I won't nag you! Let's start training directly!"

"Today's first training is...is...is..."

As if she had forgotten her words, she suddenly stuttered.

After repeating "yes" several times, she hurriedly reached into her arms and took out a booklet.

She opened the book, flipped through a few pages, and after reading for a while, her face suddenly became enlightened:

"Well, that's right! It's a military stance!"

"Listen to me, all of you! Standing in a military posture must meet the following requirements-"

"Spread your feet apart, straighten your legs, put your thumbs on the second joint of your index finger, and let your hands hang down naturally and close to the sides of your legs. You must stick close, even if someone pulls your hand hard, even if you are pulled down.

, you can’t relax your hands either.”

"Tuck your abdomen in, lift your chest, raise your head, look forward, and open your shoulders back."

"At the same time, the air flow in the body must be divided into three streams."

"A force flows down from the Dantian to the legs, making the legs straight and clamped like pillars. The feet are powerful and grip the ground tightly. It feels like the earth is being broken. There is no air in the legs, and the feet are weak.

The lower body is unstable."

"A stream of energy spreads upward from the Dantian to the shoulders and the top of the head. Keep the shoulders flat and the head facing the sky. Keep your eyes straight ahead without squinting. The wind blows the sand and makes your eyes wander without blinking. You are not full of energy, your body is loose, and your eyes are dull.

"

"The last one tightens the abdomen and lifts the buttocks to protect the body and make it as strong as steel. Otherwise, the waist will be weak and not straight up and down."

"Coordinate and consider the Qi in the body and every muscle and bone on the body, perfectly stretch the Qi and force to form the largest combined force, and then you can stand up like a tall and strong pine tree!"

"The above is the military posture that my newly-sengumi officers should have!"

After speaking in one breath, the general manager put down the booklet and asked his subordinates with his eyes: Do you have anything to ask?

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Shimada Kui and others all turned their heads. You looked at me, and I looked at you. They all looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions.

Military posture?

To put it bluntly, isn’t this just standing?

What’s good about training for standing? Is it necessary to train this kind of thing?

Moreover, why should the design of just a standing posture be so complicated?

The director-general glanced around, and when he saw no one spoke, he said loudly:

"Don't you have anything to ask? In that case, don't waste time! Start training quickly!"

Shimada Kui looked around. Although his companions looked puzzled, they seemed to have no intention of raising questions.

So, he gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage, and started to be the first bird:

"Okita-sama, I don't understand! What's the point of this kind of training? Even a child with a yellow mouth knows how to stand! Why do we need to practice this skill that even children can do?"

The chief general turned his head sideways and his eyes fell on Shimada Kui.

"This question...is a good question!"

She nodded vigorously and put her hands on her hips.

"Standing in a military posture is the core skill in the 'Tangerine Style Art of War'! It is a must-learn skill!"

"'Tachibana Art of War'?"

Shimada Kui blinked a few times, and a look of confusion appeared on his brows.

In his whole life, he has never heard of the "Jubilee Art of War".

The other team members, like him, knew for the first time that there was such a school of military art in the world.

"The 'Tachibana-ryu Art of War' is Tachibana-kun...ah, no, it is Niou-sama's own art of war!"

While speaking, the General Secretary raised the booklet in his palm and showed its cover to Shimada Kui and others - there were four large characters written on it: Infantry Training Code.

Next to this line of large characters there is a string of small characters: Tachibana Style of War.
