A clear tap rang out.
Apollo had struck the man's chest with the tip of his bokken once more. A nasty expression appeared on the man's face. He didn't understand what just happened. For whatever reason, he felt the force behind his strike shift to the side, making it look like he missed horribly.
Because of that, Apollo was given the easiest win ever.
All he had to do was swing at him!
The crowd was also displeased. They shot disdainful looks at the man.
"How did he lose so fast again?"
"The founder of the dojo missed entirely... and I thought the previous round was a blunder."
"Even I could do better than him and I'm pretty bad at using the sword."
Eden blinked a few times, holding the figurine of Serosh close to her chest.
"Eh? How did that happen?"
The man was able to hear those voices of dissent pretty easily. They made him feel very embarrassed. For whatever reason, he had bad luck with these rules.
