[Anomaly]

Interlude

First Day...

Senji was training with Hana and Himari with the goal of them having perfect control of the [Duality].

While he used two tonfas to defend himself from attacks, the sisters used wooden sword (bokken) to attack Senji.

Bam! Bam!

The thunderous sounds of wood striking sharply could be heard, Senji dodged the wooden swords, since Hana and Himari's attacks can cut Senji's skin anyway, any object can be turned into a dangerous weapon in their hands in the state of Duality.

Bam! Bam!

Senji moved to the side to dodge. The sound that the bokken produced was heard close to Senji's ear every time he dodged the bokken by passing through his head.

Using his tonfas to defend himself, he did not realize that he ended up leaving an opening that the sisters were going to take advantage of.

The Bokken who were going at a blurred speed, attacked Senji leaving an "X" on his left pectoral.

Blood splattered onto the wooden floor. Senji held back the pain of being cut.

(I was a little careless.)

Senji thought as he held the tonfas firmly.

Second day...

The next day, Senji continued training. After all, I thought it wouldn't take too long for them to manage to control the [Duality], they should do it in less than a week.

Sharpening his instincts, he defended himself with his tonfas against attacks with the desire to kill him.

People passing by the dojo always heard the loud rumbles of the timbers slapping each other. Drawing their attention where some entered out of curiosity to see the training of the Muramasa children.

They saw how Senji defended himself by using the tonfas of the sisters' bokken with murderous intent.

On the wooden floor you could see the cuts caused by the bokken being used by them.

On top of that, the superhuman speed of them. The attacks were blurred in his eyes, and Senji managed to fend off those attacks by moving his tonfas at an inhuman speed.

The thunderous sound was not heard for a second, and then heard again. At that moment they noticed the blood falling to the ground. They looked at the children to realize that Senji received a diagonal cut on his right pectoral almost reaching his neck.

They watched Senji's eyes turn serious. The next instant, he moved his tonfas with the aim of knocking them out.

The tonfas hit them on the back of their necks, knocking them unconscious.

They were puzzled, it wasn't because of Senji's action. If not, by the action of the girl named Himari.

Senji's blood had splattered back to the ceiling of the dojo and then a few drops fell to the ground.

He now had a large diagonal cut from the right pectoralis passing through his abs and ending at the external oblique of the abdomen.

The cuts he received seemed to come together almost completely forming a "日", missing the base of the kanji figure, but with sharp points coming out of the ends.

[Note: "日" This kanji means Sun.]

The maids came out of their stupor to go for the Muramasa children and tend to Senji's wounds.

Third day...

More people had approached the dojo, the Muramasa children are phenomenal when you see them fighting.

This time the fight was bloodier, Senji this time attacking the sisters.

As the fight was at its climax, a small amount of blood splattered out. They looked at Senji where a superficial cut was revealed on his back and after another second another cut was seen on his back forming an "X".

Senji's tonfas brutally slapped the sisters' ribs, they gasped for air instantly. But that didn't stop them, and they went back on the attack.

People watched the fight with amazement and fear.

Senji's tonfas slapped on the sisters' cheeks, blood splattered.

The Bokken cut through the air without being able to hit Senji.

The fight intensified by the second, the cuts of the bokken visible in the dojo, the tonfas striking and defending themselves from the bokken.

Blood splattering in the air and then ending up on the wooden floor.

The battle seemed like death because of the amount of blood flying.

At that they could see how Senji's tonfas were torn to pieces. Just by grabbing the hilts of the tonfas.

The Bokken returned to the attack, but Senji used the hilts to fend off the Bokken.

Senji did not last long with the hilts, the bokken punished the hilts by destroying it easily.

People were scared, thinking that Senji could now die without having a weapon to defend himself.

The sisters seized the moment, using the bokken to launch the attack with the intent to kill.

Senji, on the other hand, waited patiently waiting for the sisters' attack to take advantage of the moment to knock them out.

Hana's bokken was coming from the left, and Himari's bokken was coming from the right. They were going to make a cross cut by what it seemed.

Senji dodging the attacks by tilting his body to the height of his knee, surprising people. It was a sudden movement that he made, even his strength was already superhuman in people's eyes. Having his body bent almost touching the ground and maintaining that height without showing an expression of striving to achieve that.

Senji, watching from below, threw his fists accurately, forcefully impacting the sisters' stomachs, leaving them breathless. Wasting no time, she followed up with a direct blow to the ribs, causing both to scream in pain. Quickly, Senji covered their mouths with his hands and, using all his strength, buried their heads against the wooden floor, which creaked and cracked under the impact. With a cold, calculated movement, he raised his arms again and delivered another accurate blow, knocking them unconscious.

Fourth day...

Himari and Hana were fighting Senji for the last time.

I was already conscious while using the [Duality].

It was hard work to gain control of the Duality, as the fight was now with themselves to get a false state of Duality. Since the personalities of the [Kagutsuchi Blood] killed themselves. And they must have created this false [Duality] that resembles the perfection of the one used by their cousin, Senji.

Because of that, they couldn't always be in a state of [Duality] like Senji.

The fight they were having had lasted all morning, they were confused at the start of the fight when people had entered the dojo to watch their fights.

They came to the idea that they entered the dojo out of curiosity and then came more often as entertainment because of the fight they had.

The three Muramasa were smiling with excitement at the fight they were having, especially Senij. They had managed to achieve the state of [Duality] and perfected it in this fight that lasted for several hours.

It was a success in his eyes.

Current time...

Senji was leaving the dojo, he was training the vassals that would be commanded by Oda Nobunaga.

As she was leaving, she ended up running into someone, a tall but muscular one wearing a dark blue kimono.

"So you are the little monster under Oda Nobunaga's command."

The muscular man of almost 2 meters got closer to Senji.

"And you are?"

Senji had no idea who that guy was.

"Keichi Ishikawa, leader of Oda Nobuhiro's personal army." He introduced himself with an arrogant smile.

"So you work for Nobunaga-sama's elder brother. But I understand that the illegitimate and despised son was abandoned in the Castle of Anjo..."

"Although Nobuhiro-sama was 'exiled' he still has the right to visit his family."

"Hmph. He has come to see how they continue to despise him, including the servants... that boy fell down..."

Senji muttered and then continued walking, leaving Keichi aside.

"You!" Senji's comment didn't sit well with Keichi, who looked at him in frustration.

"Heh. It seems that his vassal is just as pathetic as his owner."

Keichi was about to counterattack, but something ended up knocking him out.

"I'm not going to waste my time with someone useless."

Senji threw a strong punch at Keichi's face that ended up breaking the wall of the dojo and coming out to the other side with some teeth falling further in front of him. The blow had knocked out a couple of his teeth and knocked him unconscious.

While Senji returned to eat the food made by the maids.
