When Tachibana Youko saw the stance Uesugi Sakura assumed, she realized the opponent had already advanced, the wooden sword's blade suddenly enlarging in her eyes as if it carried a fierce wind, striking her helmet with a blow.
Bang!
The wooden sword knocked against the helmet with a dull thud, delivering a solid hit.
The expression inside Tachibana Youko's faceguard was still one of astonishment as she staggered backwards, barefoot, for several steps.
"I...ppon..."
The temporary judge Bin Yuehui took a long time before slowly uttering these words.
"So fast!" Tachibana Youko thought in amazement, but her alertness allowed her to quickly return to her previous stance.
Pursue the victory.
In the swordsmanship competition, Uesugi Sakura couldn't be bothered to maintain Residual Heart, not intending to give the opponent a chance to breathe. He stepped forward with a few strides, raising both hands high, and fiercely slashed down at Tachibana Youko with the wooden sword.
