As the final showdown finally arrived, the already lively spectator seats became even more crowded and bustling.
His old friend from the Little Chiba Sword Dojo, Yamanaka Keisuke, was now sitting in a corner on the west side of the spectator seats.
Being unaccustomed to such a noisy environment, he constantly cast helpless glances at the surrounding crowd.
Yamanaka had always been very interested in watching such a rare, grand-scale Swordsmanship Competition.
However, due to being occupied with personal matters yesterday, he only managed to squeeze in time today, the last day of the competition, to finally catch a glimpse of the contestants' prowess.
Before the competition began, Yamanaka originally wanted to greet his master Chiba Dingji, Aoto, and others.
But due to underestimating the popularity of this competition, by the time he arrived at the venue, it was already slightly late, and the spectator seats were packed with people.
