Before he finished speaking, the old man had already moved. Kaiser barely blocked, feeling his elbow twist until it almost snapped.
'Strong.'
He grunted, rolling in the air and landing in a crouch. He calmly reset his dislocated arm, gripping his sword tightly.
"Hm? As expected, your physical prowess is simply unbelievable. You're actually able to contend against me."
The man said with an excited smile, though he sounded unsurprised.
Kaiser stared at him blankly, unamused.
"That was the first test, no? Go on, let me see your ability."
The old man's smile widened, "Eeh? Kids these days are so bold. Oh well…"
Kaiser blinked, feeling a sudden change in the atmosphere. Before he could tell what exactly was amiss, the old man attacked again.
Kaiser leaned to the side, dodging the attack. Without stopping, the sword changed trajectory and swung towards his neck.
