In the Yashiro Commission's dojo, Kamisato Ayaka, known as the "Shirasagi Himegimi," was dressed in kendo attire, holding a wooden sword, and performing her daily kendo practice.
"A thousand refinements, even a simple swing is unmatched." This was her mother's last wish.
As a master of Inazuma's Kamisato-style sword art, strictly speaking, Kamisato Ayaka's Talents in kendo were not outstanding.
However, as a genius who relied on hard work, she practiced diligently every day to ease the burden on her brother, the head of the family.
Ultimately, with the use of her Vision, she became a top-tier fighter in Inazuma, living up to the family's prestigious name.
Indeed, the Vision, a divine gift that is coveted but hard to obtain, simultaneously bestowed the gods' gaze upon both the Kamisato siblings.
Because of this alone, it would be difficult for the Kamisato Family, with these two siblings, not to regain its former glory.
Kamisato Ayaka's dignified and beautiful face, combined with her elegant and sharp sword art, was truly a sight to behold.
Kamisato Ayaka's training session lasted a full two hours.
Sweat soaked her hair and back, and her white kendo uniform became even more transparent after being drenched, leading to suggestive thoughts.
However, she didn't mind, because no men were present during her training.
A quick-witted maid stepped forward and offered her a warm towel.
Ayaka casually took the pre-prepared towel to wipe away her sweat.
However, a slight, lingering scent on the towel made her instinctively frown, but as if realizing something, she pretended nothing was wrong and continued to use the towel to wipe her sweat.
After wiping, Ayaka watched the maid take the towel and leave, then sighed.
"Ah! Thoma has been at Ritou for almost a month now.
I wonder when he'll be back?
Without him as the chief steward, the quality of life in this household feels like it's declined quite a bit.
And I wonder if that Traveler is really as formidable as the rumors say?"
"So, that fixer from Ritou really is from your Kamisato Clan."
A sudden voice came from above Ayaka, immediately putting her on alert.
Her Cryo Vision at her waist instantly lit up, and an ice blade condensed in her hand.
She lowered her stance, preparing for a drawing cut, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.
The previously empty space on the ceiling began to distort, and the next moment, a figure mysteriously appeared on the roof, then landed steadily in front of Ayaka.
Ayaka didn't hesitate.
She directly launched an attack, aiming for the opponent's landing spot.
An unauthorized stranger entering someone's residence was either a thief or a bandit; striking first was definitely the right move.
However, Ayaka's full-force strike, though it seemed to hit the opponent's body, lacked any real sensation.
The ice blade passed through the opponent's body as if through thin air, and she herself, due to this sudden turn of events, couldn't stop her momentum in time and stumbled forward.
Ayaka immediately used Kamisato Art: Hyouka, concealing herself within shattered ice, transforming into a rapid current to quickly move and create distance from her opponent.
The opponent's strange ability made Ayaka hesitant to act rashly again.
Just as Ayaka was about to call for guards to assist, the mysterious man quickly interjected, "Miss Kamisato, don't be so quick to call for help.
Uh, it seems my entry was a bit abrupt, but your guards at the door absolutely refused to let me in to visit, so I had no choice but to resort to this."
Kamisato Ayaka did not lower her guard upon hearing this.
She maintained her fighting stance and asked, "Who are you?"
"Uchiha Mikage."
Upon hearing this name, Kamisato Ayaka looked at him with new eyes.
As the Demoiselle of the Kamisato Clan, she naturally knew of this native Inazuman who had made a formidable name for himself in the foreign land of Liyue, and he was, of course, one of the individuals the Kamisato Clan had their eyes on.
However, the name Mikage is quite common, but the surname Uchiha, even for the Kamisato Clan, a prominent noble family in Inazuma, had never been heard of in history.
In Inazuma, commoners generally only have a given name, not a surname, and families with surnames usually leave some trace in Inazuma's history.
Could it be a forgery?
It doesn't seem like it.
If it were a forgery, wouldn't it be better to choose a more common surname, like Sanka, or Yamanaka, or something similar?
But the surname Uchiha sounds very profound, not like a forgery.
Could it be a clan that existed before the great war five hundred years ago?
While Ayaka was still lost in thought, Mikage beside her seemed to notice that Ayaka's comfortable and form-fitting kendo uniform, now soaked with sweat, looked rather alluring...
So, Yuto turned his head and covered his eyes with his hand, reminding her, "Uh, Miss Kamisato, perhaps I should step out for a moment so you can change your clothes."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Mikage's words, Ayaka finally realized that her clothes were now translucent.
The most crucial part was that she wasn't wearing undergarments.
Her face instantly flushed crimson, and she immediately crossed her arms over her chest, trying to maintain her composure as she walked out...
An hour later, Kamisato Ayaka, having bathed and tidied her appearance, received Mikage in a tea room, sitting upright and dignified.
Although she was very young, her tea ceremony skills were exceptional.
The tea she personally brewed, even for someone like Mikage who didn't understand the tea ceremony, could clearly feel the difference.
It wasn't just the taste of the tea, but also the elegance and nobility displayed in every gesture.
Truly worthy of a centuries-old noble family, making Mikage, this bumpkin, feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Mr. Uchiha, may I ask the purpose of your visit today?"
"Just call me Mikage.
I always feel that the surname Uchiha is too difficult to pronounce."
"Is that so?
For us, our surname is part of our family's honor, allowing me to always be mindful that my actions represent the Kamisato Clan, and I must not bring shame to the family."
"Now that I am the only Uchiha left, I think it's more important to expand the family as soon as possible than to focus on the Uchiha's reputation.
If I suddenly die one day without leaving any descendants, then the Uchiha Clan will be declared completely extinct."
"Is that so?
Then Mr. Yuto can also call me Ayaka.
That would be fair and equal."
"I heard that the Yashiro Commission, which Miss Ayaka oversees, has been secretly opposing the Vision Hunt Decree and has been in contact with the resistance on Watatsumi Island.
Furthermore, it has actively helped both those whose Visions have been confiscated and those whose Visions have not yet been confiscated to travel to Watatsumi Island, thereby strengthening the resistance's forces.
Is that true?"
Mikage's words utterly shocked Ayaka.
Her pupils involuntarily dilated, her previously elegant demeanor became stiff, and cold sweat streamed down her forehead.
