Akiyama Yaziko knelt quietly in a sitting position with her hands in a pseudopress, as if grasping an invisible sheathed sword at her left waist side. Using her left thumb to push the blade's edge forward to the right, her right thumb and forefinger intertwined, she gripped the sword with the base of her palm. After three breaths, she suddenly rose with her breath, swung her hand, and mimicked the motion of drawing and slashing with her sword.
Then, maintaining slightly bent knees in a crouching stance, she performed another action of swinging the sword to shake off the blood and sheathing it, then slowly brought her hips down and closed her hands together, kneeling back onto the floor.
This signified the resheathing of the sword, completing a form of Iaido, after which Akiyama Yaziko turned her head and locked eyes with Li Pan.
"...What? That's it? No, come on, you're kidding, right! Just like that? Show me something for real!"
