The New Winds

(Open for spectators)

His time here was coming to an end and he had a final test on his own to follow through with. he had sent challenge to a particular sensei who had thrashed him earlier in the week and Ichiro intended to see how far he had really come.

He stood in the dojo and stretched while he waited for his opponent to show up.

A servant brought in several cushions and arranged them artfully before Nobuko so that she could sit comfortably. She did so, looking very prim, proper, and attentive as she snapped her fan open to flutter idly.

"So, you think you can baet me now, Moto-san?"

The large Hida asks with his usually jovial expression

Initially just passing by, Kazuko is drawn in by the prospect of a duel, especially when one of the participants is a sensei. Eager to see the outcome, she stands by idly. This was going to be entertaining for sure.

"So, you think you can bet me now, Moto-san?"

The large Hida asks with his usually jovial expression

"I believe I have learned much, I want you to feel how effective your teaching is Hida-sensei." He replied back with no smile he was not angry and held no animosity for the crab but he was all business

"Well then, pick your method. Sumai? Traditional Juijutsu? Arm Wrestling?"

"Sumai seems most appropriate I believe." he says back confidently

"Very well then!"

He draws a circle and points to Nobuko and Kazuko.

"Call out when any part of either of our bodies cross the circle!"

Ichiro pauses in his chores (was he the only one who still did chores?) to watch the match unfold.

Ichiro nodded and dropped into his stance ready to test himself against the sensei

The big crab is a little slower than Ichiro.

D10 Initative: 7d10o10k3 28
ATN: 5+Ref(3)*5=20

A curly haired boy watches with curiosity from the doorway as the struggle appears about to begin.

Ichiro's engage was textbook as he got his arms around the large Hida but he lacked his usual oomph when he tried to initiate the throw.

Ichiro felt himself slipping and tried to bear down and fight harder

The Hida places his hands on his knees and pants, sweat dripping from his brow.

"Very good show, Moto-san. I dare say you would be able to beat me soon enough"
