Enigmatic Lu Bao

The fight began, and it was incredibly intense from the get-go. Even I couldn't follow all their movements, though I could catch more than half. I suspected that put me above everyone else in the squad watching except for our Sacred Beasts.

"Hmm, this is looking like a long one."

"I can't see what it's looking like at all," said Bing Hei.

"Yeah, me either," said Shokoya, "mind giving a play-by-play?"

"They're fighting way too fast for play-by-play, obviously," I said, "but they're fighting evenly for now. Swordfighting only, neither of them are using techniques. They're probably starting slow and probing each other. I'd say your technique is just a little better, Shokoya, but I don't think you could match their movement speed."

"Yeah, that's kind of what I thought," said Shokoya, "on both counts. Just tell us what you can."
