Chapter 99: Swordsmen (1)
Outside the arena, Roukujou stared intently at the screen, commenting to the audience, "One of Blue Team’s mecha is heading towards Pinky’s location, but Pinky’s teammates aren’t pursuing the opponent. Seems like Pinky is confident, feeling she can handle two at once."
"By the way, folks," Roukujou continued, "people from Confucius Academy excel in ancient sword techniques. Due to their weapon’s uniqueness, they prefer fighting solo, but Swordsmen is an exception."
[A friend from Confucius Academy once told me they’re quick to draw swords in anger. I visited their academy and left overnight, frightened by their temper.]
[Really? That’s funny.]
[Is Pinky in danger then?]
Yuka launched her third attack on the opposing black mecha. She released the chains wrapped around her mecha’s wrists, picked up the hammer from the ground, and started spinning it rapidly, creating a blur of motion. Then, she hurled it towards the black mecha.
Ichiro had watched many of "Lady’s" matches, but her weapon was mostly a long sword. He and his brothers had only studied their sword techniques.
Now, surprised by the sudden hammer attack, Ichiro ducked, avoiding the hammer, and swung his sword upwards with force.
He thought, if he could cut the chain, "Lady’s" weapon would be useless.
As their weapons clashed, he felt the force lighten on his blade.
Realizing something was wrong, he tried to retract his sword, only to find the chain wrapped around it. Ichiro pulled back desperately, not wanting to lose his weapon to "Lady."
