Chapter 145: Golden disciple
Swish! Clang! Crack!
The final exchange came in a burst of motion that showcased both fighters at their peak. Noah’s supernatural capabilities met Tanaka’s lifetime of refined skill in a display that left every watching student speechless with admiration.
Whoosh!
Both wooden swords stopped simultaneously, their tips mere inches from each other’s throats in perfect mutual finish.
The dojo fell into awed silence as master and student regarded each other with mutual respect born from genuine challenge and skilful response.
"Magnificent," Tanaka declared, lowering his practice sword with obvious satisfaction at the fight. "You’ve achieved something remarkable today, Noah. You’ve made an old master remember why he fell in love with the sword."
The assembled students burst into spontaneous applause, their voices carrying admiration for a display of swordsmanship that few would ever witness again.
They all wish they had the same talent as Noah.
Each student watched the dojo’s golden disciple with expressions that mixed inspiration with honest envy for abilities that seemed to transcend normal humans.
