As the dust settled from Kazuichi and Arisu's intense battle, the training ground buzzed with excitement. Kazuichi and Arisu approached each other, both breathing heavily but wearing satisfied grins.
Panting, Kazuichi wiped the sweat from his brow, looking at Arisu with admiration. "That was incredible, Arisu. I didn't expect those Blood Bullets. When did you learn to do that?"
There was a hint of pride in Arisu's eyes as she smiled, accepting the compliment. "It was something I've been working on in secret. I wanted to surprise you. Looks like it worked."
Jurou, Kazuichi's loyal butler and a fellow Bulwark Hybrid, stepped forward, clapping his hands. "That was a job well done, young master, a remarkable display of skill and strategy. Was it true that you were holding back?" He continued, addressing Kazuichi since he couldn't believe that he was holding back after all that.
