151 Tournament 6

Kenshin looked at Isano without any expression. Isano looked at him, "It was good that you can arrive at this stage by luck. But now that you have to meet me here. I will defeat you here so you will lose the qualification to enter the Four Sects."
Alex was amused. He thought, 'Girl, that was a flag line for Antagonist that are going to lose.'
Kenshin still looks at her without any expression in his face.
"Say something you useless" Isano was angered.
Kenshin giggled a little while Isano becomes angrier, "What's funny!"
"Nothing, I just confuse why I can like you back then. I will end that feeling here and now as I will defeat you here de gozaru" Kenshin smiled to her like smiling to a stranger.
"Start!" The referee finally started the fight.
"Hmph! Soejima House Whip Style, Snake. I will end you here with your weird speech" Soejima Isano's weapon is a whip, the whip suddenly moves like a snake toward Kenshin. Kenshin dodges this easily but the whip still chased him wherever he goes. But there is one fatal flow for this technique, it was the length of the whip. To use this technique, her whip is made from an elastic material that can stretch the whip up to 10 meters. But that also means that Kenshin only needs to distance himself 10 meters away from her.
And Kenshin also seems already know about this weakness, he retreats 10 meters and the whip didn't reach him. This time, Soejima Isano is the one who moves. She walked closer to Kenshin so her whip can reach him. Kenshin once again inside the 10 meters mark. The whip chases him again but Kenshin didn't afraid, he dodges the whip without any waste movement and slowly went outside the ten meters mark.
He continues playing outside the ten meter mark.
"You, don't run if you are a man!" She starting to get impatient and run toward him to pursue him.
It seems that this is Kenshin's goal, when she increased her speed to chase him, He suddenly leaps toward her at a fast speed. His goal was for her to increase her speed while chasing him so he can close his distance with his speed since they are moving closer toward each other, closing their distance becomes faster. But suddenly, the whip's body bent and block his path.
He tried to cut it the whip with his sword, but when his sword touched the whip, it felt hard, it seems that even though the material is elastic, it still retains the hardness. He observed the whip, it seems that this whip is a Rank 3 Weapon. The Soejima House invested a lot in her. But Kenshin only smirked, 'Since you meet me, I will make you and Soejima House regret'
He jumped toward the whip, he is planning to use it as his stepping stone to stop his momentum. Because of the momentum, if he can't stop it, he will be trapped inside, and it will be according to Isano's plan. He leaps backward, but…
"Heh, since you are inside my Whip Formation, Don't hope to go out, I will destroy you here" It is according to her plan. Now that Kenshin is inside, "Soejima Whip Style, Snake Bite"
The tip of the whip flew toward him. Kenshin was surprised a bit, but this is still in his expectation. He clenched his sword and smirked. "It's useless de gozaru."
"Splitting Sword"
He swings his sword toward the Whip head. And because of his new Katana along with his new combat prowess, His potential that got suppressed all this time finally soar. With a single swing of his sword. The Whip head was blown away. Isano was surprised by his strength. When he blew the whip head, She needs to clench her whip tightly, if not, it might slip her hand because of the momentum.
And Kenshin once again back outside the Whip Formation. Isano looks at Kenshin with a shocked face. "You surprised me just now. Never thought you become strong enough to push back my Whip. But, even if you can push back my whip, how do you plan to defeat me if you can't even reach me!"
He looks at Isano, who is in the middle of the formation, like looking at a fool.
"You are the one who still hasn't realized that I am still holding back. I'm only testing your Whip just now. This time, I will defeat you de gozaru."
Kenshin charged again with the same speed as the previous charge. Since he is making the same move, Isano has prepared for it.
"Soejima Whip Style, Snake"
The whip immediately surrounded him. But Alex and Kenshin himself know, Kenshin's speed still far slower than when they have a spar. Kenshin suddenly disappeared. For Isano, he is like disappeared, but for others, Kenshin move at a far higher speed than before. The moment she noticed, Kenshin is only three meters away from her.
She started to panic. "Soejima Whip Style, Illusorus Snake"
The whip suddenly makes a few circles and surround him like a cage. If he tried to jump the whip will follow him and push him down. Isano laughs, "Haha, even though you are much faster than before, you still can't escape my Whip Formation. I will show you the difference between you and me. You are not fit to be my Fiance."
On the VIP Seat, Soejima Ujitaka was shocked, he never expected that Kenshin has gotten stronger…far stronger,
Kenshin didn't panic, he seems has expected something like this. "You think that this can stop me? Look at this 'Katana' true power. One of the strongest cutting weapons. I will cut your whip just like this de gozaru."
"Splitting Sword"
He clenches his Katana tightly and swings it down to the whip cage. He put all his strength in this swing, and break this whip. He let out all of his past memories, love, and grievance. Let he break this whip as he breaks his past, and become the new him. Let this whip become his connection between him and her as he cut this whip as he cut their connection.
"Break!"
"It's futile. You won't be able to cut this whip."
"Haaa!"
*Crack*
"Impossible!" Isano was surprised.
*Break*
Kenshin finally cut Isano's whip. The moment it was cut, the latter part immediately go down without any power can be poured to the latter part. With that, Kenshin finally free from the Whip Formation, and rushed toward Isano. He pointed at his sword toward her neck as he turned to the Referee.
"Himura Kenshin Win!"
"Uwoh!" The crowd burst into an uproar, it was breaking news, the fallen genius of Himura House suddenly regain his talent and defeat the genius of Soejima House, his ex-fiance, Soejima Isano.
"He has finally grown up" Takata mutter gratefully. He is also thankful to Alex who give Kenshin this opportunity
"What!" Soejima Ujitaka immediately stood up, He never expected that this Kenshin suddenly becomes strong enough to defeat his daughter. He remembered, usually, Kenshin will always lose when he fought his daughter in a few strikes. Now, not only he won, but he also won in a few moves. He used his first move to test the Whip Formation, then he used the second move to escape the formation. And with the last charge, he cut her whip and win. Did he make a mistake when he broke the engagement between them? No! There is still Himura Soma left.
Even if his daughter now only has a sliver hope to get picked by the four sects, there is still Himura Kenshin, if he can get inside the four sects, and get noticed by some elders, he is sure that he will bring his daughter along with him. That was what he convinced himself. But unfortunately, that was only his wishful thinking.
In the arena, Soejima Isano loses her strength because of the shock that she was defeated, and she was defeated by her ex-fiance to boot. She fell down on her knees. Kenshin looks at her, "You said this earlier. This is the difference between us, and it is not me who doesn't fit as your fiancé, but you are the one who didn't fit to be my fiancée, I'm thankful that you had broken our engagement, if not, I will be the same foolish person like Himura Soma de gozaru"
"You!" She was angered but when she looked up, Kenshin has already walked toward the exit. In his heart, he really is thankful to his sword brother, Alex. He brought this chance to him and he swears that he won't betray him whatever happens in the future.
The next round,
Arena A: Itagaki Kyousuke vs Itagaki Yuki
Arena B: Alexander Sirius vs Nakagawa Yuu
Arena C: Kusunoki Kayo vs Asakura Taneteru
Arena D: Himura Soma vs Kagae Katayuki
The four fights in this round is the most excited one. The crowd erupted in cheers for the upcoming fights. Each battle surely is a great battle to watch. The eight practitioners stepped onto the arena.
In Arena A, the battle between the same family. But Itagaki Kyousuke has been recruited as Buddha Sect disciple, so everyone has been convinced who will be the winner. A young bald monk comes to the stage, he looks at his opponent. To fight the same family member in this Tournament is a very rare situation. Itagaki Kyousuke was pretty straight forward, he cupped his hand like a monk and bowed, "Amithaba. I'm looking forward to our fight"
"Young Master, that wasn't necessary. Rather than exhausting Young Master strength, Young Master should reserve your strength for the next round. So…I Surrender" Said Itagaki Yuki while smiling.
"Itagaki Kyousuke wins." Said the referee for Arena A.
"Amithaba"
In Arena B, The mysterious Alexander Sirius who has fought the Limewatch Town Goddess equally, and his opponent is the same family as the Limewatch Town Goddess, Nakagawa Yuu. He is the son of the First Elder from Nakagawa House. He is also considered a genius. But because the Goddess, Nakagawa Hiina, outshine him by far, he wasn't known by many. But, He is still a bonafide 2-Star Martial Master. Even if he and Nakagawa Hikotaka who is also 2-Star Martial Master, no one will be able to predict who will win.
Alexander Sirius looks at the Young Man before him, he also had the trait of Nakagawa House, a Silver Hair. His short silver hair and his brave expression along with his aura telling him that he has experienced many battles. Alex nodded at him.
On the other hand, Nakagawa Yuu feels the pressure on him. Especially from the gaze of his clansmen. From the elders' perspective, they are expecting him to show a good fight, not a brutal fight. From the clansmen who are ignorant about yesterday's clan meeting. They wished for him to win, after all, he is also one the pride of Nakagawa House, if he wasn't outshined by Nakagawa Hiina, The genius of Nakagawa Family would be him. He is their role model. Nakagawa Yuu also knows about that, but he also knows about Alex's mysterious identity, since his father, the first elder, invites him to attend the clan meeting. But even so, he will still fight for the win.
As for Arena C, Kusunoki Kayo has been recruited as Rainbow Flower Sect, and this tournament was only a formality for her. Her opponent was only a loose cultivator that somehow able to win up to this round with his Strength as 1-Star Martial Master, but today, his opponent is Kusunoki Kayo, a 3-Star Martial Master. Even if there is no hope for him, Even the others have given up on him, he will still fight until the end.
As for the last arena, Arena D, Himura Soma, who is the favored one from the Himura House, entered the arena with an arrogant expression. His opponent, Kagae Katayuki is only in Peak Qi-Manipulation Stage. So everyone knows where his confidence come from. Himura Soma was pretty straight forward, without any respect, he said: "You have somehow managed to get to this round, we do not need to fight unnecessary battles, right?"
"Since I have managed to get into this round, I, Kagae Katayuki, will always fight until the end. I want to show everyone, even in the disadvantages, they should be brave" Said Kagae Katayuki while shaking his head in refusal.
"Hmph, you too, didn't know which one is wrong and which one is bad. Since you refused to surrender, then don't blame me for being impolite. I will make sure that you regret that you didn't surrender just now."
"Matches Start!"
