Inazuma City, Hanamizaka
"This should be enough, right?"
Fujiwara wiped her hands; the words "Fujiwara Dojo" were already hung on the building, and inside the dojo, the swords and protective gear were brand new.
Kazuha thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good. Now, all we need to do is make a name for ourselves, otherwise no one will come to be apprentices."
"This is troublesome. If only I had Shiki's fame, then wouldn't the apprentices line up from Tenshukaku to Hanamizaka?"
"Uh… isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
"Oh, not at all! Kazuha, you underestimate her charm. As a fellow female, I understand this very well!"
Listening to Fujiwara's words, Kazuha rubbed his chin, somewhat puzzled. To be honest, he didn't find Shiki that attractive.
This wasn't to say his sexual orientation was wrong. While Shiki was indeed beautiful, Kazuha didn't find it exaggerated.
In other words, Kazuha's preference wasn't in that direction.
"Hey~ are you listening to me?"
"Sorry, what were you just saying?"
"Oh, of course, how to increase our fame! Since you brought it up, you must have a method, right?" Fujiwara asked.
"…What method do I have? Are we going to hand out flyers?"
Kazuha said jokingly, but who knew Fujiwara would suddenly nod in realization.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"
"?"
Kazuha was confused. This… can we really hand out flyers?
"We'll just put an advertisement on the bulletin board! As for the ad copy, let me think… 'Once defeated by Shiki's [Tsubame Gaeshi]', what do you think of this?"
"That works too?"
Kazuha was stunned. Fujiwara, you're truly a little genius. Using your own defeat to promote yourself is just too outrageous.
However, to be fair, this could indeed work. After all, let alone being defeated by [Tsubame Gaeshi], many people haven't even seen Tsubame Gaeshi. In a way, it highlights Fujiwara's prowess.
You should know that not just anyone can make Shiki use Tsubame Gaeshi.
Moreover, Tsubame Gaeshi has only appeared twice officially: once at the Meikyo Shisui-ryu Dojo, and once at the Tenryou Commission's training grounds.
So, Fujiwara = Toumon is perfectly fine.
Fujiwara pulled Kazuha to the bulletin board, then took out a pen and started writing on it.
"Hehe, done!"
"By the way, will this really work?"
Kazuha looked at the words on the bulletin board and still felt it was a bit unreliable. Would anyone come to their dojo?
"Oh, it'll definitely work!"
Fujiwara confidently patted her justice, causing a sudden surge. Kazuha felt as if his eyes were obscured by something evil.
The two returned to the dojo to continue tidying up. Perhaps the words on the bulletin board had worked, as someone truly came to visit.
However…
"Hmph, Fujiwara Style? What kind of third-rate sect is this?"
The visitors were clearly hostile!
Six samurai in kendo uniforms stood in front of the dojo, speaking disdainfully, looking exactly like street thugs.
"Can anyone open a dojo in Inazuma City now?"
The street thugs continued, and the next moment, a gentle breeze brushed past, and a young man appeared before them, seemingly out of nowhere.
"I, on the other hand, wonder if anyone can practice kendo now?"
Kazuha's tone was gentle, but his words were anything but.
He and Fujiwara welcomed anyone who came to be an apprentice, but for those deliberately looking for trouble, they had to be given a warning.
"Hey! What do you mean, brat?"
The leading samurai was about to draw his sword and step forward, but he was stopped by his companion.
"Senior Brother, that person has a Vision!"
"Huh?"
The samurai was stunned, because he hadn't seen a Vision on the young man. However, Kazuha had his Vision hanging on his back, so the samurai facing him naturally couldn't see it.
Kazuha took out his sword from his Vision. Of course, it wasn't anything rare, just a katana forged with jade steel.
This act of conjuring a weapon out of thin air solidified his identity as a Vision holder. During the Vision Hunt Decree, this would have been a perilous situation, but the Vision Hunt Decree had now ended.
"If you wish to spar, as the consultant of the Fujiwara Dojo, I will naturally accompany you to the end."
Kazuha assumed an Iai stance, and gusts of clear wind rose from his feet, gradually enveloping his figure.
Most people, when facing a Vision holder, generally only face defeat. However, there are a few exceptions, but clearly, these were not those exceptions.
"Wait, wait a moment!"
The samurai called Senior Brother shouted loudly, but Kazuha didn't give him the chance. He was already an adult and should be responsible for his actions.
The surging Anemo element was condensed onto Kazuha's blade, then gently swung out.
"Alas, falling leaves scattered."
"Ah!"
A wind screen reflecting maple leaves enveloped the six samurai. Accompanied by several screams, the six heavily wounded samurai flew out of the wind screen.
These people looked terribly injured, but Kazuha hadn't killed them. They only looked more severe than they were; in reality, with a martial artist's physical fitness, they would be fine after bandaging their wounds and resting for a few days.
"We… we are from Chujo Itto-ryu…"
"I know that, of course. As one of Inazuma's mainstream sword styles, I recognize your kendo uniforms."
Kazuha said, walking step by step towards them, placing his katana against the chest of the samurai called Senior Brother.
"Go back and tell your master that although our Fujiwara Dojo has just been established, we will not tolerate your bullying."
"This time, I've given you a small punishment, so we're even. If there's a next time, I will personally visit to properly experience the profound techniques of Chujo Itto-ryu."
"Kazuha, that's enough." A melodious female voice came from behind the young man. The few people looked in the direction of the voice and then saw a smiling pink-haired girl.
Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. What truly terrified them was the purple Vision at the girl's waist.
In Inazuma, Electro is the element of the noble elite. Moreover, Vision holders are one in ten thousand. Otherwise, Inazuma City, which accommodates hundreds of thousands of people, wouldn't have only found ninety-nine Visions.
