Yale and Lar VS Awat
Yale attacked immediately once the chief spoke.
Awat was someone that he couldn't beat, but if he didn't take the initiative, it wouldn't even be a battle despite Awat restraining himself.
Lar's Sword was swung towards Awat, but the later stopped it with his own sword, which was a part of his own body.
Expert weapon spirits could materialize a replica of their true form while being in human form, but Awat had a true form that could take the form of any weapon, so everything he created wasn't a replica but completely original.
He could be in human form and weapon form simultaneously, which was something that not even the chief could do.
At the third clash of weapon, Yale felt that Awat was a liar because he wasn't adjusting his power to be at the same level as Yale, he was always a step ahead.
Awat didn't like to lose even if it was because he was restraining himself, so he did it to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen.
