Chapter 70: Byakuya vs. Byakuya

Byakuya Ikemoto, Tamie’s muse, had all of his nerves strained as he watched his opponent:

I’ve got to use all those new techniques Tamie has applied to me in her newest story, and add my will for Tamie’s protection. With that and the keeping of the Blade Warrior Code, I might just be able to win against this powerful of an opponent who has tons of experience in swordsmanship… He’s a Sworder, after all, and I’ve got no Blue Fire to help me.

He was worried – he had never faced an opponent with only sheer strength and swordsmanship skills before. He had always applied his Blue Fire in his attacks.

“Oh, don’t you worry, Byakuya-san. I am a Blade Warrior, and as you perfectly know the Code of ours, you must be aware that my pride does not permit me to apply vaster power with a weaker opponent. Thus, I will not be using my Zodiac Craft. This is just a peaceful duel between fellow Blade Warriors,” Byakuya von Drachen smiled.

“Huh? You can hear my thoughts?!”
