Shinno's strength far exceeded Aoto, who had only learned swordsmanship for a few months. Just from Shinno's recent strike aimed at Aoto's head, he sensed that Shinno's power was far above his.

His heart was pounding rapidly, adrenaline surging.

Shinno was the first to break the deadlock.
After gauging the distance between them, he fiercely thrust his sword towards Aoto's throat, carrying the style of the Mirror Heart Mingzhi School—elegant yet full of killing intent.
