He frowned. "It should be able to break free of him..."
"Alright, the two contestants, please step forward." Gekko Hayate coughed lightly.
Once the two had risen, Gekko Hayate said softly, "Preliminary round, first match: Second Pillar versus Mirai. Begin!"
"Hmph, do you know how to use a sword?" Sasuke noticed the long blade on Mirai's back and became wary. He bent slightly, but the pain in his leg made him frown.
