The Martial Sages and Masters of both sides watched as the battle between the two Masters unfolded in all its glory and ferocity.

"This battle exceeds my expectations," Sage Sera remarked with a profound tone. "Truly, I have never seen such endless versatility in a single Martial Master in my entire life."

She echoed a sentiment that all of them felt.

"Hah." Sage Damian grinned toothily. "That other brat isn't bad at all."

He turned to Sage Shinken who was some distance away from him. "…You Sekigaharans are not entirely worthless, after all. To think you maggots were hiding such crazy talents among your ranks."
