Marineford Military Academy, on the training field.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the ground.
After an afternoon of blazing sun, the entire training field had become unbearably hot and stifling.
Because the thirty cadets of Class One had been frightened unconscious by Sephiroth's Killing Intent Illusion.
As a result, during the previous swordsmanship lesson, all thirty cadets had blissfully slept through class. Their physical and mental fatigue had been eased to some extent, and they all looked much more refreshed.
"That move Vice Admiral Sephiroth used just now looked incredible!"
"Yeah! Was that the swordsmanship realm of having no sword in hand, yet a sword in the heart? So awesome!"
"It's a shame I've never had much talent for swordsmanship. I want to learn such a cool move too!"
"I've decided! From now on, I'll study swordsmanship diligently. One day, I'll definitely become a Great Swordsman like Vice Admiral Sephiroth!"
It was now the final class of the day... unarmed combat!
Since this was a large class taught by Zephyr, aside from Class One's students, there were also two other unarmed combat classes present. More than ninety people stood on the training field, most of them cadets, along with several instructors.
Listening to the Class One cadets whispering amongst themselves, Zephyr's old face darkened like the bottom of a pot.
During the swordsmanship class, he had kept feeling that there was something off about Sephiroth's move!
Now that he thought about it more, how was that some swordsmanship realm of having no sword in hand, yet a sword in the heart...!?
Bullshit! That was clearly a technique created by combining Conqueror's Haki with killing intent!
That brat Sephiroth actually dared to fool him with such a little trick!!?
What could be endured, and what could not!
