Mastery - Little Accident

As soon as Kaley's hand moved from one place into the other, I was already smiling from ear to ear.

Mikhail went pseudo-barbarically, Ibarra went textbook, while Kaley went for the most graceful or most elegant way possible.

It would seem 'slow' from an untrained eye but it was just as equally as fast and as deadly maybe even more.

Everyone watching her seemed to be in a daze and they didn't even notice that she was done until a few moments after.

What happened was even if Kaley already drew my wakizashi, her slash came from where the scabbard was, coming up and diagonal, almost as if she performed a drawing-slash. She easily cleared that one piece of bamboo but what the other three failed to notice was that the upper half of the bamboo was still in the same place before she moved for a double-cut.

Kaley let out a short exhale as she just flicked her wrist and brought my wakizashi to the left once more before slashing downward, going diagonally to the right.
