To completely elevate Shiwei Hall's status, there is still a long road ahead for the people of Shiwei Hall to travel.
"How wonderful..." Kondo exclaimed, watching the swordsmen from Training Hall take their seats, envy plainly visible in his eyes. "When will our Shiwei Hall be able to boast such prestige and renown?"
"Tsk." Sitting next to Kondo, Hijikata sneered a few times, then reached out to pat Kondo on the shoulder. "Asheng, your ambition is too low, isn't it? Are you satisfied with merely matching Training Hall in terms of prestige and fame?"
"Haven't you ever considered surpassing Training Hall...no, surpassing every Sword Dojo in Edo, nationwide?"
Kondo chuckled bitterly, "Asui, setting overly grand aspirations isn't always a good thing."
While the group of Shiwei Hall was chattering, a sudden commotion erupted again from the west side of the arena.
"Ah, the swordsmen from Shixue Hall have arrived!"
"Look! It's Taojing Chunzang, the Hall Master of Shixue Hall!"
