Chapter 216: Still Unbeatable
The two moved to a more spacious clearing, far from the prying eyes of those who might disrupt their focus.
Once they reached the clearing, Arthur stood a few yards apart from Shira. Shira looked contemplative and asked, "Are you going to remove your blindfold, Mr. Hoshikaze?"
"There's no need..." Arthur replied as the wind brushed past.
Shira found himself slightly disheartened by the response. He had expected that such a skilled fighter would want to demonstrate his full ability.
"Fine," he declared, "but I'm not going to hold back!"
Without warning, Shira lunged forward, intent on landing a high kick that would surely knock anyone else off their feet. But as he approached with explosive speed, he stopped just inches from Arthur's face.
The sudden halt left the boy feeling confused.
"Why didn't you move?" he incredulously asked, lowering his legs back to the ground.
Arthur remained calm, standing as still as a statue, and simply replied, "I knew you wouldn't attack..."
Shira's brow furrowed in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
Was Arthur even using his Tamashii? For the sake of his training exercise, he wasn't!
