Although Zhouzhu, the Hall Master of Shiwei Hall, was present today, he hardly ever participated in instructing the apprentices.
The teaching responsibilities were primarily handed over to Kondo Isami, with Zhouzhu mostly seated at the front of the dojo watching the disciples practice. Only on rare occasions would he step in to correct a disciple's movements or assist Kondo Isami in teaching swordsmanship techniques.
This was Aoto's first time receiving guidance from Kondo.
Kondo and Chokata, who taught Aoto last time, had completely different styles.
Chokata's teaching style was "strict."
He would sternly tell you what to do and how to do it.
If you didn't perform some action well, he would directly step in and tap you with a bamboo sword on the spot you hadn't mastered—of course, the strength was light, not enough to injure anyone.
On the other hand, Kondo's teaching style was "gentle."
He would teach you hand-in-hand with a gentle tone and actions.
