Chapter 74: Swift Wind
“Fuma-style assassination technique?”
I asked, my expression one of bewilderment. Senior Fuma nodded in response and explained,
“It’s a one-line transmitted assassination technique with a history of 500 years. It’s one of the secret arts of the Fuma Clan, passed down since the Warring States period.”
Just hearing about its credentials, I could tell this was no ordinary martial art.
“So, one-line transmission means only one person per generation learns it?”
“Correct. Each head of the Fuma Clan learns two assassination techniques called Swift Wind and Lightning Speed. My father, the 17th Fuma Kotaro, mastered these and was revered in the underworld as the Black Night Demon.”
“But why offer such a precious thing to me…?”
Senior Fuma answered seriously,
“Swift Wind, the Fuma-style assassination technique, was initially intended for ‘superhumans’ to learn.”
