In contrast to his expectations of being sliced in half, Bobby caught the blade's sharp edge with his thumb and index finger.
"It is impossible!" How on earth have you managed to catch my blade?"
It astonished Mr. Baldy to see his gigantic sword caught so easily by the lanky youth before him since even his boss, who was admired by him, once told him that his Earth Elemental Broadsword would be better avoided directly because of its explosive power once in contact with a living being.
In reality, this was not the case for Bobby, as it was one basic of the Heaven Catching Palm technique that he learned from his sensei Otsuka Kemino, the very skill he used to catch his wooden sword on their first day of training.
This weapon-catching technique was, in fact, not perfect at all since it was only meant to use when one's opponent was weaker than him or her, as was the case here.
