She didn’t have to wait long as Kei launched into action, quickly running forward on a straight path towards her while grabbing one of his sheathed Chokuto in his right hand, holding it at his right hip, while moving his hand over the hilt as if ready to draw at a moment’s notice.

The way he moved spoke of natural agility, his torso lowered to the ground and back kept straight while his blank eyes never left hers as he continued to gaze at her without a single shred of empathy or mercy. And then, when he was about one yard away from seemingly running into her, he did something unexpected while channeling chakra through his legs.

A sudden burst of speed brought him past her right side in what looked like an instant as he had dashed past her at heightened velocity before coming to a stand-still two yards behind her; both of them now being back to back.

From what it looked like to anyone lacking experienced eyes, Kei had never struck or even unsheathed his blade. It simple looked like he just moved past her while in reality he had drawn his Chokuto with his left hand, aimed to slash deep under her right-side rib-cage, and re-sheathed the sword, at such speeds that not a drop of blood was left on the now sheathed blade.

He still didn’t say a word, nor did he even bother turning around, as he awaited the expected sound of her knees hitting the ground or a scream passing from her lips.
