The battle had started and things had developed rapidly.Before anybody knew it a few moves were exchanged. Winston attacked Arran with his spear which Arran parried and was about to counterattack but unexpectedly, because of the excess amount of power behind the spear attack, Arran was not able to fully withstand the attack and he had to retreat which ended with him being sent flying into the air.This was followed up with another attack with Arran, one that did not give Arran any space to dodge especially since he was up in the air without any means to leverage on and avoid the attack. The only thing that Arran could do was put up a hasty defense by crossing his sword before him and hope that he was strong enough to withstand this blow... but that seemed unlikely.From the waves of pressure that Arran was receiving from this technique, Arran knew that he was not going to be able to block this attack. Should he forcefully try to withstand it with his current st

Back to Arran.I said previously that Paul and Jerry had lost all hope for victory.This is why.As it stood, Paul and Jerry were hesitating because they were not confident that they could defeat Arran at all. This stemmed from the fact that they did not know him nor did they understand the kind of person he was or what tactics he would utilize in a fight.Previously, the two of them had already come to a conclusion about the kind of way Arran fought and were pretty confident about winning but after further deliberation, they were not so confident anymore. This hesitation was brought about by the ever-changing presence of Arran in their minds from how they perceived him to be in their minds from the very beginning and how Arran currently was right now. The first was of a frivolous but scheming person who hid his blades in his words and the present was of a noble and confident Kingsman that disdained underhanded tactics the most.As for exactly the

Aku The Demon.This title was synonymous with a ferocious war demon that fed on the blood and fears of its enemies on the battlefield.The story of Aku The Demon as he grew from a hapless youth with nothing to his name but the clothes on his back to become a mighty general of the battlefield was one that sent waves of hope and vigor through the veins of those of similar background as him as well as envy to those who Aku The Demon had left behind in his wake on his quest for power and strength.Compared to Bryon who generated reverence and envy due to his powerful backing and considerable strength, what Aku The Demon inspired in others was not only envy and jealousy but also awe and respect generated from their fear and dread of him. All this was because of the legends that were told about the rise of Aku The Demon.When Aku The Demon had been young, he had lost his family in a small-scale invasion by the Shades as they attacked the borders of the Aeth ter

Was Arran considered strong among his peers of the same generation?The answer is yes...Arran could be considered strong among his peers of the same generation solely by virtue of the fact that he could participate in this ceremony.Then let us ask, among those participating in this ceremony, how does Arran's strength compare to the rest of them?Well, then that is exactly what these people were trying to figure out.Because the generation of Aku The Demon, Bryon, and the others gathered here was only a generation apart from Arran's generation, these people are all trying to figure out how strong and talented the geniuses of this generation are because some of the most talented people of a particular generation usually had what it takes to compete with geniuses of the previous generation.We are not talking about being able to catch up with those ordinary geniuses of the previous generation because given time any half-decent genius would be

By this time most people may be thinking, 'Why does Arran only use this single move? Does he have no other move in his arsenal? Why stick to a single move when you could learn more powerful ones?"Actually, these are very valid concerns because if a person should continue using a single move every time he battles his opponents are bound to become familiar with the move making it easy to discern the flaws in them and taking advantage of those flaws.It was not as if Arran had no other moves in his arsenal.In fact, during the short time in which he had been training, Arran had learned a lot of combat techniques in the academy some of which were more powerful than Iaido. The reason Arran still used Iaido most of the time is because of two reasons.One of the reasons is that Arran had only been training for a short time and although he had learned other more powerful combat techniques, due to the limited amount of time he had, Arran's proficiency in using th
