The New Winds

Great, Aiichiro-san made it to round 2; it's a shame he won't make it to round 3. Haruki approaches the ring and bows to his next opponent "it's a pleasure to be your opponent this round Aiichiro-san."

D7 LA: Initiative vs Kaiu Aiichiro: 5d10o10k4 22

D7 LA: Iaijutsu (Assessment)/Awareness, 3 raises, TN 30: 9d10o10k4 25 (failed to assess, may still get +1k1 to focus if Aiichiro rolls 15 or less)

He bowed back. He had met Haruki on the field and knew what he was able to do. He was only happy to meet a good duelist.

Information to learn: Opponents Reflexes Trait

(Reflexes trait 4)
Haruki respected Aiichrio san as a tactician, but he still needs to face Kazuko-san, so he doesn't pull upon his school's technique, merely using the basic methods of iaijutsu. Pure skill vs pure skill, may the best win, and Haruki isn't anything if not great under pressure.

D7 LA: Iaijutsu (Focus)/Void, Center bonus, rank 5 iaijutsu bonus (+5): 10d10ro1o10k5+9 41
LUCK IT: D7 LA: Iaijutsu (Focus)/Void, Center bonus, rank 5 iaijutsu bonus (+5): 10d10ro1o10k5+9 65

(Psth, save your luck, he got higher initiative and I was awaiting feedback on reflexes to see if +10 TN could do it)

He moves suddenly. but not to remove his weapon from its sheath. He moves his body as a whole, not his arm, to respectfully bow towards Haruki.

(Not sure if I can, should have really thought about that)

Haruki is taken aback, was he really so good that 2 contestants in a row yielded before the hands were even on the blade. Either way, he bows back.
