They could only stare at Akihiro. Blade Child was something they never heard before. Not even the books or the history of the kingdom. And they never saw Kaoru wield a sword.
Eureka even told them that he only spar with her with a stick, to which she commented, 'Stick versus a Sword, I say he must be a very formidable person when he was still wielding his sword.'
They just didn't bother with this, Kaoru never showed them at the same time, even during the war he was not in the front lines. Only towards the end where he and Eureka took action in separating Juzo from Leo.
"The last time he wielded his sword was when he was just 15. He was already acknowledged by many within the five years span of time that he was holding it."
Akihiro started telling them the story, of how his father tasked Kaoru not to openly use his ability. With this restriction, Kaoru became engrossed in his physical capabilities ending him becoming such a formidable sword master.
