Shibuya District, Tokyo Arena.
Sitting behind the judges' area, Uesugi Sakura could clearly feel that today's match was drawing a lot more attention.
Occasionally, a few cameras broadcasting the event would fly past him.
His upright and serious posture looked very handsome.
Because of his looks, he had even been called the "Mysterious Prince" by some unscrupulous media outlets.
When Uesugi Sakura saw this title, he nearly blurted out in his hometown dialect.
Damn!
That title is so cheesy.
He tried to avoid such uncomfortable feelings and focused his attention on the match.
In the center of the arena, Kusunoki Kubomaru, as the forward, was competing against Kanoyama Shigeki, a 32-year-old fifth-rank Deputy General from the Kasumi Shinto Style in Tokyo Meguro District.
Fifth rank...
Just from his vigor and spirit, one could understand in their heart that this person was formidable.
Both parties saluted each other, retreated a step, and bowed again.
The match began.
