After the Arena battle, Azuma decided to send a friend request in which I accepted. He is eager to have a rematch with me again and even though I wipe the floor with him, at least he fought back and managed to give me some setbacks on killing him. He lacks polish but he is a strong fighter no doubt. Too bad he won't be participating in the upcoming Arena competition after finding out the flaws but I guess as someone who seemed to follow the teachings of a real samurai, that's just how they go.
I left the arena and decided that it should be a good time to gather some materials since I am planning on taking the EX-job Tailor. If I have to make armor and metal armor, I need to become proficient in it.
