Chapter 277: Sheath
"Wait! What did you mean earlier when you said I won't reach anywhere around you?" asked Kano Sho
"Hmm... Aren't you a bit late to react to that? I said that hours ago and only now are you asking about it?" Kenichi said
"I did ask you earlier but you didn't reply to me than and went to tending your garden after which I fell asleep so I couldn't ask you then! Now tell me, What did you mean by that?" asked Kano Sho
*Sigh* "Tell me Kano Sho! Other than Martial arts what hobbies do you have?" asked Kenichi.
"huh! How is that important to anything?" asked Kano Sho
"I will explain it to you after you answer my question! Tell me what other things do you like to do except the things related to martial arts?" asked Kenichi once again
"Hmm.... there isn't anything else I like other than martial arts much except Miu-"
"Yeah you are not getting her so stop talking about her and tell me if there is anything else," Kenichi said interrupting Kano Sho in between.
"No! There is nothing else" replied Kano Sho while shaking his head left and right.
"Now that's just sad! What about bird watching don't you like them?" asked Kenichi
"I do but it's not I can watch birds whenever I want, so wouldn't call them a hobby!" replied Kano Sho
"Yeah, that's true as well. But it proves that what I said was right! The current you won't be able to surpass me" Kenichi said
"What? Just because I don't have a hobby you think I won't be able to surpass you?" questioned Kano Sho
"Mmmm... you could say that!" Kenichi said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Stop spouting nonsense! If hobby was needed to become strong then my master wouldn't be a grandmaster martial artist as he himself doesn't have a hobby!" said Kano Sho.
"Now I never said that you won't become strong, I just said that you won't surpass me because the speed at which you will improve will always be slower than me" Kenichi stated
"Ggrrr... WHY? Why would my speed be slower than you?" shouted Kano Sho
"Because you don't have a sheath, a sword without its sheath doesn't stay sharp for long you may know that right. A martial artist needs a sheath as well if they want to stay sharp" Kenichi said
"What the hell! How can a martial artist be the same as a sword or a weapon?" questioned Kano Sho.
"Every Martial artist train their body to turn it into a weapon but over time the weapon doesn't stay sharp and the reason for that is because those weapons don't have a sheath," Kenichi explained
"That's bull crap are you saying that all of your masters have a sheath for themselves! What about Hayato Furiniji? Does the Invincible Superman have a sheath as well? If yes then tell me what is it, I would really like to know what could be the sheath for him?" asked Kano Sho
"Yes my masters have their Sheath and so does Hayato Furiniji!" replied Kenichi and continued, "Sakaki Shio had sheath as well and from what I know he had already changed his sheath to something good right now while though the one he had when he came to Ryozanpaku was not beautiful they were still his sheath you know they were Gambling, Drinking and fighting"
"How could these things be counted as sheath? Gambling, Drinking, and fighting if you call that a sheath then I would rather not have a sheath" stated Kano Sho.
"Hey! You can't say it like that, at that time he had lost one of his best friends from the hand of the other best friend hence he became like that and he couldn't even do anything about that and after staying in Ryozanpaku it changed to the times he spent here with the other masters of Ryozanpaku. Though he still likes to drink gamble and fight they aren't his sheath anymore" Kenichi stated.
"Lost his best friend in the hand of the other best friend! How couldn't he do anything when he is a grand-master?" asked Kano Sho
"That's something personal to him and his friend, as his disciple I can't go babbling about his past much. The next master of Ryozanpaku Ma Kensei as a Master of Chinese Kung fu, he is also a specialized doctor and a pervert as well. Not sure what his sheath is but I am leaning towards his perverted behavior" Kenichi stated.
"What is with your masters does any of them has a normal sheath?" asked Kano Sho.
"Hey, it's still better than someone like you who doesn't have a sheath at all OK. For a normal Sheath, I would say Akisame Koetsuji has it, new inventions or new art he is quite famous in the world of artists you know" Kenichi stated.
"So his sheath is making new inventions and arts," Kano Sho said
"Yes, then Apachai's sheath I am not sure but he loves everything, as you have met him before you know he isn't the type to focus solely on martial arts," Kenichi said
Kano remembered his first encounter with Apachai where he made him a juggling ball along with Seta and Hayami and shuddered from how easily he handled them.
"I don't think he loves everything but I understand what you were trying to say" stated Kano Sho
"As for Shigure, she has a sheath as well but I am not at liberty to tell since it's quite personal to her" Kenichi explained
"OK, then what about Hayato Furiniji! Does he have a sheath as well? I can't believe that someone like him who is at the apex of Martial arts needs a sheath as well" asked Kano Sho
"Oh, of course, he has a sheath why wouldn't he! I would say that Hayato Furiniji's sheath is the most durable one, that's why he is where he is!" Kenichi explained.
"Then what is it? What is this most durable sheath that made Hayato Furiniji the Invincible Superman?" asked Kano Sho
"It's... something I can't tell you," Kenichi said with a smile on his face.
"WHAT!? YOU! You are doing this deliberately aren't you?" asked Kano Sho as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
"hehehe...Yes"
