After few strokes, we separated again.

He had bewildered expression. He already lost is proud demeanure.

He looked at me doubtfully "you really aren't a disciple here."

I shook my head.

He said "Be careful, I haven't used chakra yet."

I nodded. Then his sword lit up like blue. I could see that he also infused chakra in his legs also.

Whoosh..clink.

We clashed but this time, I was pushed  back 3-4 steps. I looked at my hand which was trembling slightly.

I realized I would never be able to compete with him considering the amount of chakra he has.

On opposite side of me, samurai had slight grin. He has gained his composure again.

This time, his moves were much more careful and he was using his full power.

Just in 4 strokes, my hand started to lose consciousness.

Third brother talked to fourth : "what do you think?"

Fourth : "Fighting instinct of Kouske is much better than the opponent. But he doesn't have chakra. He would lose."

I changed my tactics. I started using my new perception. After few strokes, I get the hang of his chakra routes.

After few more stokes, I got comfortable in predicting what he is gonna do next.

This time, I started avoiding in advance.

From outside, I was looking very unsightly. But somehow Kouske was able to avoid the fight or parry successfully.

Third and fourth brother both had surprised expression.

Third asked "fourth, is it me or that Kouske acting like he was able to predict opponents next move."
Fourth nodded but he was much more concentrated on the fight. This fight really started to get interested.

I was panting initially but I was getting hang of this new fighting style. I just needed a little time to improve my fighting style by incorporating my perception power.

Fight is going much longer than everyone expected.

Kouske's posture started to change. Now, it look like he was fighting comfortably or mostly avoiding and parrying.

On the other side where students were standing, one small 7-8 year old student said "it looks like our kouske sensei is winning but it doesn't feel like fighting."

Another little burly 10 year old kid spoke "A man should fight like a man. Kouske sensei shouldn't use these girly moves."

Another girl of 9 year old retorted "what do you know? you are not even a man. It is called elegance."

Burly child got embarrassed. He whispered "but I am engaged I would be married in 3 years."

....

On the fighting ground, samurai started to feel situation sticky. His chakra started to get consumed little by little, "Am I going to loose?"

"No, no...master just opened the dojo. I can't lose the reputation." samurai thought in his mind.

Fighting became more intense. Samurai started using his second sword also.

To that, kouske only used his unsheathed sword just to block. He didn't unsheathed it because he doesn't want anybody to know that his sword is dipped in poison. That would be against samurai code.
