——That person's intelligence was actually correct...
Using the effects of "Take the Lead," Aoto first charged into the enemy formation, once again expressing astonishment in his heart, as he forcefully shook his Jitte to fling away the blood remaining on its tip.
Aoto's strike came too fast, too suddenly, stunning the Anti-foreigner Group members around him for an instant.
And in just that brief moment, Aoto's Jitte had swung again, striking the left shoulder of a big fellow to his left.
The Jitte is made of iron, and when hit by such a big iron rod, the big fellow immediately let out a grievous scream and staggered back several steps.
But perhaps because this big fellow's body was relatively strong, he managed to stay standing after retreating several steps.
The big fellow steadied himself, then gritted his teeth, raising his sword high and chopping towards Aoto.
