Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, at this moment, Aoto just didn't want to do anything that would damage his reputation or face.
"Please instruct me!" Aoto shouted loudly in a voice as spirited as Yamen's.
...
...
The entrance of Yamen, this long-established elder, pushed the atmosphere of the dojo to a new peak.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone's expectant gaze, after completing the crouching salute towards each other, Aoto and Yamen both held their bamboo swords in front of them in the middle stance.
This new duel... or rather, this battle that was no longer simply against the "Sazanoko Pursuer Corps", began with a loud stomp!
"Haah!"
Yamen stomped his back foot violently, and charged at Aoto like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
Aoto calmly held the bamboo sword horizontally in front of him—
Clash!
Their bamboo swords collided fiercely in mid-air.
The Beichen One-Sword Style is a swordsmanship that highly emphasizes skill.
