Lime watched Herald a few meters away from her with vigilance.
She had activated her blood sword power, but her sight could only see the future just up to 1 second.
Herald in front of her could see a full 3 seconds into the future!
Even if it doesn't look like it, but in a high speed and critical fights, even a millisecond of hesitation can be very fatal.
When Herald saw Lime activating her future sight, He also activated his, even if he was stronger than Lime, if Lime knew all his attacks and evaded them at the last second, he would still lose the match if he gets careless.
In Herald's eyes, the ticking of his gears were visibly faster than Lime's.
In the History of the Zenith Clan, only the First Patriarch was able to see up to 7 seconds into the future!
Most of the patriarchs that came along and even his own father could only see up to 5 seconds, yet they were still hailed as one of the strongest clan, not just in the Masamune Kingdom but the whole world itself.
But it isn't really that omnipotent of a power, you see, the clan didn't have any divine sword like the kings had, otherwise they would have already created their own kingdom where they rule.
One of their clan's weakness is that, a person with more experience could also predict movements in their opponents and they could also use their experience to control the pace of the fight.
Another one of their weakness would be, the people of the Zenith clan have to train their bodies to the limits without rest, as there are times where they could see and know what their opponents can do but their bodies couldn't keep up with the pace and speed of the fight.
But these short comings of their clan can be erased when in the future they gather more experience and have more fights.
As for Divine swords, there are only 5 known Divine Swords in the world, and no one had ever seen another one or even close to creating one.
For now, the clan had many magic swords and other treasured artifacts and techniques that made their clan a truly giant among the other clans.
-----
At the fight.
Herald pressed on towards Lime as Lime desperately defended herself against Herald's endless attacks.
As the exchange continued, Lime was slowly pushed back and despite being able to predict and defend she was still hit again and again.
*Swoosh!
*Swiish!
Herald would swing his wooden katana as Lime dodge and try to parry, yet knowing what Lime would do, Herald would stop his movements half way and redirect his attacks.
It has already been more than 2 minutes since the match started. Lime's Blood Sword Power had already been deactivated since more than a minute ago!
Lime could only activate her blood sword power of a full minute, but it wasn't a constant sight of seconds, after being able to see a second into the future, she still had to wait for 5 seconds to be able to see the future again.
On the other hand, Herald could activate his blood sword power for over 2 minutes and only had to wait for 3 seconds before he could use it again.
*Bang!
Finally, Herald broke through Lime's defneses!
*Swwooshh!!
He then struck her stomach, but before Lime could retreat, he struck her again this time on the other side of her body!
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
And it was the beginning of the end for Lime!
"Stop! Stop! Winner Herald Zenith!!"
The teacher saw that Lime was already struck more than ten times and stopped the fight as Herald didn't look like he has any intention to stop!
"Herald! She's your sister! Why did you still hit her after the first two strikes!!!?"
The teacher angrily said to Herald.
"Hah! She's my sister so what if I teach her a bit roughly?! How can she be a part of the Zenith clan if she's this weak!"
"You!"
Herald shrugged his shoulders at the teacher and walked down the arena proudly.
Right now Lime was unconscious.
And even from the waiting area, Eiji could see the bruises and blood coming out from her body.
Herald didn't hold back from his attacks as he struck her whole body and even her face!
This time!
This time, Eiji is angry!
He is very angry!
Yet Eiji sat in his chair unmoving.
There were only 2 more matches until this round is done, he would have to fight in the next match or the last match.
Eiji just sat in his chair, unmoved, without any emotions in his face and without any fluctuations in his ki.
Calmly.
Eiji right now is in a very very calm state.
Muri saw what happened to Lime and was frowning, He couldn't do anything towards those great noble clans, but he could see that they have their own bad blood even in their own clansmen.
Muri then paid attention to Eiji.
"..."
"Sigh!"
Muri saw Eiji's state and sighed.
It wasn't a sigh of relief but rather a sigh of helplessness, the way Eiji right now, Muri by now knew every bit of Eiji's characteristics and personality.
Right now he could see it, Eiji is very angry!
But if this anger is helpful for him or not, he doesn't know and could only watch.
"Next Match! Noya Eiji VS Cheon Mune!"
Next up finally, it was Eiji's match, he stood up from his seat slowly and lightly walked towards the arena.
