Kendo Ranking Test ( 8 )

"Great move... It seems that she mastered this technique and she didn't just do it in the spur of the moment."

Reiji saw the one-handed stance of Jodan as he somehow recalled his sword duel against another master swordsman in his previous life. 

He can still recall Kagame, one of the strongest opponents he had to face when he was still vying for his 8th Title. 

His opponent at that time wasn't in his best state as he has an injured left hand but still managed to reach the championship. Nevertheless, his one-handed Jodan no Kamae is still extremely powerful. It has a longer range and Kagame can easily control its direction as well, which is what most of the other 8th-Dan she defeated were unable to deal with. 

"I wonder, can Imane discover the secrets of this technique?"

Reiji muttered as he looked intently at the battle on the platform. He's sure that he didn't teach this technique to anyone at all.
