[As the first stage of the Goodwill Event officially began, the entire designated woodland training ground turned almost instantly into a completely one-sided rout.]
[Just as you had anticipated, the whole process could hardly be called an evenly matched exchange of techniques.]
[Under your strict training, the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High had long since carved the word "efficiency" into their bones.]
