The Initial Hunt

...…

Seeing that his opponents were now taking him very seriously, Shin couldn't help but become a little more excited. He was going to deal with some skilled players after all. 

He was also quite excited to test out some of the tricks that he gained during his Awakening Quest, so this was the perfect time to try them up before using them as his regular set of tricks.

Naturally, he was not foolish enough to use all of his hidden cards in just the first round of the tournament. What he wanted to try was his newly improved combat techniques and his better control over his skills.

Having these thoughts, Shin quickly assumed his battle stance once again. But he was not using his sword drawing this time. Instead, he was using an average yet unusual stance.
