Chapter 39: Is This the Rumored Zanpakutō? (BONUS)
Kotetsu scratched his head awkwardly under the curious gazes of his fellow disciples.
Even though Master Shunichi favored him, he had only seen him a handful of times over the past month.
However, one thing he was certain of, when he met Shunichi yesterday, he had still been wielding Cicada's Cry.
But today, Cicada's Cry was nowhere to be seen in the forge.
This immediately reminded him of the rumors circulating about Young Master Satoshi, the so-called "Cursed Tool Destroyer" of the month.
It also reminded him of when he saw Master Shunichi testing a new sword in the forge.
And of the moment Master Shunichi had handed over his weapon to Satoshi before leaving.
Putting the pieces together, Kotetsu could guess what had happened to Cicada's Cry. More importantly, he suspected that the weapon in Shunichi's hand had been forged by none other than Young Master Satoshi!
This must be the weapon that had been discussed so often in the clan recently.
A Zanpakutō.
As soon as Kotetsu shared his thoughts, the other disciples of the Gojo Kyokushin-ryu fell silent.
