When the purple light died down, there was a clear winner.
Koji was unconscious on the ground while Yukio was in tears from laughter.
Akasan reverted to his normal form. He held his side, as it was starting to hurt now. He looked at Yukio.
Time seemed to move in slow motion as Yukio's facial expression suddenly dropped from laughter to concern.
Akira had appeared directly behind Akasan. He was swinging his sword at Akasan's neck with a backhand stroke.
At the last second, Akasan ducked.
Akira's eyes narrowed. "I was sure I hit you."
Akasan turned his head back, showing his purple eyes. "That was dirty."
Akira smirked. "A good warrior doesn't get killed from behind."
Akasan jumped away, facing Akira. "You're gonna fight me too? I'm pretty sure people like you don't really need the money."
