Tonight marks the second time he has fought side by side with Mukiwa. The battle tonight gave Aoto a new understanding of Mukiwa's combat prowess.
Aoto felt that if it were purely a contest of hand-to-hand combat, he might not be Mukiwa's match...
Based on his own proficiency in Hand-to-Hand Combat Skills, Aoto vaguely sensed that Mukiwa seemed to be using a peculiar force, somewhat reminiscent of the "Inch Force" famous in a previous life.
This method of exerting force allows Mukiwa, with her petite frame, to unleash extremely formidable power.
Aoto couldn't help but become even more curious about the Martial Arts Mukiwa practiced.
Unfortunately, Mukiwa had previously made it clear to Aoto: she wasn't comfortable discussing her Martial Arts in detail, so Aoto could only temporarily suppress the curiosity rising in his heart.
"No." Mukiwa wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, then turned her head to smile at Aoto, "How about you? Are you hurt?"
