I usedAppraisgain on my first opponentRiche.


    Status NameRiche upation: Martial artists apprentice Age: 15  Level: 10 HP: 210 MP: 44  Power: 30Endurance: 15 Ability: 28Magic power: 10  Skills Body technique Level: 2, Rarity: ) Foot Sweep Kick Counter


    His upation isMartial artists apprentice, I wonder if hes training in some dojo? Hes the same age as Elena. His strongest stats is Power besidesAbility. While hisBody techniqueis the same level as mine.


    Theres not much difference in level and basic stats and perhaps theres enough room to spare.


    When I climbed up on the t stone arena,Richepolitely bowed. I remembered back when I was a student and took lessons on kendo and Judo so I unconsciously returned the bow.


    Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too.


    Richeseemed to be a little tense.


    From this onward, theBody reinforcement temples Sunday fightingpetition willmence. During which, using my privilege, the sales ofVoting ticketswill now be closed, I hope you understand. Well then, first round, mens division, first match,SeijivsRichematch will now be held.


    Waaa! Go! Kill each other!


    I heard some strange jeering, it finally started it seems.


    Participant no. 2,Seiji! With his weapon, a strangeSword.


    Because my name was called, I raised my fist to get the audiences appeal but there wasnt much reaction. I wonder if I missed the timing?


    Also, strangeSword? More than that, I wasnt able to put theBucklerthat I bought yesterday into use because of its ipatibility with thisSword, I wonder if its a mistake to buy it.


    Participant no. 3,Riche! His weapon,Knuckles.


    WhenRiches name was called, he put his hands together and bowed to the four directions.


    Then, begin!


    Uo, suddenly it begin!? I hurriedly grip theReplica swordand castQuickmagic on myself. At first, I n to useSlowto seal him off. Its not a rule vition, its the idiosyncrasy of thepetition to restrict the opponents movements but theres a possibility of it pouring cold water on thepetitions climax. Well, if it get dangerous, I may be forced to use it.


    Richelowered himself into a fighting stance, and approach using suri ashi1. I too, take the stance of kendo and draw closer.


    WhenRichegot closer to some extent, his steps abruptly stopped. Using his left fist, he approached aiming at my face, taking my stance to chudan, I performed a parry with the katana by executingKote. With his fist parried,Riches stance copsed so I followed withMen,Richequickly jumped backwards and theMensliced empty air.2


    Iyaa, theKotesplendidly connected but theMenmissed, this guy is also quite good. However, it seemsKotehurtRiches left hand. If it were a sharp sword,Kotewould have already decided the victory and defeat.


    It seemsRichesensed that Im strong and didnt pursue the offensive. This time, I take the initiative to attack.


    I immediately step forward and executeMen, butRichedodged it by tilting his body to the right and performed a counter, a right hook. However, because of the difference in reach, the instant beforeRiches right hook arrive, I was able to pull back the katana and takeRiches fist by the katanas base3.


    The katana and the knuckle collided producing a loudGakin!sound, breakingRiches knuckle into two.


    I give up! Richetook 3 steps back, bowed and dered his defeat.


    SeijiandRiches match, participant no. 2,Seijis win!!


    Waaa!!


    When the referee dered my win, from the spectators delight, madscreams broke out.


    Sword Artacquired.

    Thank you, its myplete defeat. Ou, you were also good.


    We shook hands.


    However, this guyRicheis stupid too. At the medical team, he asked Elena to heal his left hand withRecovery Magic, afterwards putting it under his nose.


    I shouldve killed him.


    Trantor notes and reference:


    1Suri ashi is a foot work, likethis. 2Chudan or middle-level posture is the most basic stance, providing bnce between attacking and defending.Men is one of the five strikes in kendo (along with tsuki, d, hidari kote and migi kote). It is a long shing stroke that falls on the centre-line of the head. Men also designates the movement, the target, and the part of the kendo armour that covers the whole head. The kiai for this strike, as for all strikes in kendo, is the name of the target area.Basically, Seiji used hidari kote(strike to the left forearm) here since Riche used his left fistWikipedia 3I think its referring to the katanas habaki? Basically, the des base. 4(Toujutsu) basically means art of wielding sword while (Kenjutsu) means art of sword fighting which was tranted in the past chapters as [Sword Techniques], if you have any naming ideas, please let me know on thement section. 5Tsubazeriai means hand-guard fight. Know more about it here.
