"No way! That Little Chiba Sword Dojo actually lost?"
"Hey, didn't you say this Shiwei Hall was an obscure little dojo?"
"It is an obscure dojo! Ask people around here, see if anyone knows what Shiwei Hall is."
"So you're saying: the famous Little Chiba Sword Dojo lost to an obscure little dojo?"
...
The reason some of the audience came to watch this match was entirely because the Little Chiba Sword Dojo was participating.
They wanted to see how powerful the swordsmen from the Little Chiba Sword Dojo, known for its quality apprentices, dojo size, and reputation only trailing the Xuanwu Hall, Shixue Hall, Training Hall, these "Edo's Three Great Dojos," really were.
They didn't pay any attention to the entirely unknown Shiwei Hall from start to finish.
The outcome of this match seemed obvious, how could a small dojo like Shiwei Hall be a match for a great dojo like Little Chiba Sword Dojo—they were all so certain of that.
