Dream

Stella was now sleeping after this strenuous day… She practiced the whole morning, fought with Frank alone, met Enri, negotiated with the village chief, then continued her practice in several stances in kendo…

"Zangetsu… Kasumi… Juji… Mhmmm…"

Reiji heard her mumble some words while she was sleeping. It seems that she was still practicing in her dreams. 

Their last practice was related to five more stances in nitouryuu and Reiji remembers that she was enjoying it a lot… 

'Well, learning new things is fun…'

Zangetsu no Kamae, or the Crescent Moon Stance, is a defensive stance against opponents who aims at their head by raising the shinai above the head and point it diagonally at the floor just to cover for 'men'.

It was a stance where Stella was having trouble finding her balance to have an effective strike.
