Despite the blade of Nichirin being drawn, the smile worn on Kaigaku’s lips remained, hand gripping the hilt of his own weapon.
“Don’t make me laugh. Do you honestly think you can stop me? Go on. I’d like to see you try.”
“ ..... ”
her body trembled with fear. forcing herself to her feet, she stumbled back a few steps. the swordsmith quickly opened the bag slung over her shoulder, her hands shaking as she drew a nichirin sword.
“ i won't let the people of this village fall into danger. ”
“That’s what I like to hear.”
He gazed upon her with kanji-engraved eyes, the title of 𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐗.
“I will finish what the others could not. I shall spare you, but I can’t say the same about the rest of your village.”
her body hit the ground with a dull thud. the impact left her with a few minor injuries, though she quickly forced herself back up.
“ i... i understand. ”
With the attempted kick to his chest, Kaigaku couldn’t help but to laugh at the action.
“That is where you’re wrong.”
Releasing his grip on her, he gave a wicked smirk towards the blacksmith.
“Know your place, swordsmith. You’ll live a lot longer that way.”
“ someone with a rotten attitude like yours doesn't deserve anyone's respect. ”
she struggled in his grasp, then drove her foot into his chest in an attempt to force him back.
“You’re in the presence of a superior. Don’t you know it’s rude not to acknowledge someone stronger than you?”
Lifting her up with ease, painfully holding her up in the air.
I didn’t want it to come to this, but you were the reason gramps took his own life and I can’t forgive you for that!

I’m not as strong as you, I’m aware of that but if mastering a technique you’ll never learn prevents you from mastering Thunder Breathing then I won’t let you learn it!
I know more of it than you! I’ve worked hard to get where I am, while you whined like a little baby!
The fact that Sensei saw you as equal to me is nothing but an insult!
Believed in me? After EVERYTHING I’ve done, he mocked me by making you co-successor with me!
Implying that I couldn’t become the Thunder Hashira all on my own!
