Shoichi was left with a question that only had one answer.
The three wanted to test him and he had no choice but to follow through. If they wanted to see what he was capable of then he'd show them what he was made of.
Shoichi prepared to defend himself by unsheathing his sword, taking in a deep breath as he mentally prepared himself.
It's been some time since he last battled anything seriously and if this was done with the basis of testing him he wanted to put his best foot forward.
The half human half youkai hybrid held out his sword, his eyes darting back and forth to take note of their standing positions, one on each side of him and one directly in front.
Two males and one female.
The two males were older than Shoichi but not by much, same went for the female.
Those two had a regular wooden blade in hand while the female had a blade made purely out of energy.
With all these observations in mind, he prepared to act.
