"Before leaving my hometown, I had already heard of your renowned name and greatly admired your power!"
"I truly wish to personally experience the distance between myself and a true master!"
"A single match with me will suffice!"
"I hope you can oblige!"
Having said this, Nagakura respectfully bowed at a 90-degree angle to Chiba Eijiro.
Nagakura's sudden challenge left Aoto and the others momentarily stunned.
Straightforward, outspoken, quick and decisive... these traits truly embody Nagakura's brash personality.
Perhaps witnessing the fierce duel between Aoto and Chiba Eijiro earlier had ignited the warrior spirit within him, Nagakura's face read, "I also really want to have a match with Chiba Eijiro."
Chiba Eijiro raised his gaze, assessed Nagakura Shinpachi, who was a head taller than him, and smiled faintly:
"Not bad eyes."
Chiba Eijiro lowered the bamboo sword he had shouldered.
"Alright then, let's have a match."
