"Please put on the protective gear." Liu Nai requested two society members who promptly brought over two sets of gear and a bundle of bamboo swords, "What kind of bamboo sword do you need?"
"I don't need protective gear, any bamboo sword will do." Zhang Yifeng declined because he had no clue how to wear the men, dou, kote, and tare protectors, much less understand the differences between types of bamboo swords; he could only hide his incompetence this way. Moreover, suddenly getting used to protective gear would greatly impair his movements, and the protective clothing is much stronger than the gear. "It would be even better if the opponent didn't wear any too."
As expected, upon hearing this, Hidaka Daisuke, who was preparing to put on his protective gear, stopped and set them aside.
