Kimura Kazuki could feel the great confidence in Ikioi Ito as he stood in the arena.
Without a doubt, he was definitely eligible to be this confident since he reached the first stage of sword power, which is the First Foundation State at the age of 17 in this Dharma Ending Age.
He believed that there were not many people in Japan who were able to reach the First Foundation State at the age of 17.
Unfortunately... "Kimura-Kun, don't worry. I will make this match exciting, and it will not end so soon..."
When the judge announced to start the match, and both the parties bowed to each other, Ikioi Ito was mumbling under his face shield... His soft murmurs passed into Kimura Kazuki's ears. Ikioi Ito could make use of the Kageyama Kiai Style brilliantly.
Kimura Kazuki took a glance at Ikioi Ito while keeping his silence. He guessed that Ikioi Ito's thought was the same as his.
