Kimura Kazuki dashed to the dressing room .
By name, it was a dressing room, but it was much more grandiose than that . There were two dressing rooms in the resting room . Kimura Kazuki quickly went in and changed into his costume .
The kimono was new . Kazuki didn"t know what material it was made of, but it felt as smooth as silk .
“These kimonos are for cosplayers, so they"re quality a.s.sured . The manager prepared a variety of different colored kimonos for the comic con because there are many characters in “The Sword Saga,” and they all have different genders and personalities…”
The worker was a young girl . When she saw Kimura Kazuki coming out from the dressing room, her eyes were locked on him . In the first place, kimonos were always apparel that exudes the wearer"s charm . The kimonos made for the comic con were all wide-sleeved . The sleeves were all flowy, which gave off an impression of an angelic figure .
Even though Kimura Kazuki wasn"t exceptionally handsome, he had a unique charm, and the costume accentuated that . Words could not describe it!
When Kimura Kazuki received the bamboo sword from Mizuno Mari"s hands, the door of the dressing room was opened again .
She was a mature woman . When she walked into the door and saw Kimura Kazuki, her gaze was locked, and she exclaimed in praise, “Not bad! Looks exactly like a real swordsman!” She waved and indicated Kimura Kazuki to sit down, “Come, put on some make-up . ”

“Make-up?” Kimura Kazuki looked at her, confused, “Do I need make-up to join a kendo battle?”
It was Matsukawa Chisato"s turn to be confused now, “Aren"t you a cosplayer hired by the company?” She looked at the workers .
Mizuno Mari quickly replied, “Ms . Chisato, you just came . This is…”
“I am Kimura . ”
“This Mr . Kimura had registered to enter the kendo compet.i.tion . ” With that, she added to explain about the Elite Kendo Faceoff event organized by Muraoka Hiros.h.i.+ . Matsukawa Chisato was a new make-up artist for the cosplayers, so she didn"t know what was going on .
After hearing all that, Matsukawa Chisato nodded profusely . She only knew that Muraoka Hiros.h.i.+ arranged two kendo experts onstage for a face-off . She wasn"t sure about any changes midway, leading to changes in the activities . She never gave it much of thought . She gave Kimura Kazuki a good look, went to the shelves and picked out a full purple wig for him .
The wig was obviously dyed . Pale purple hair blended together with black hair . The layers of colors were magnificent . She pa.s.sed the wig to Kimura Kazuki and hinted at him to put it on .
Kimura Kazuki didn"t take the wig . He furrowed his brows, “I"m only here for the kendo face-off, I have no reason to wear this . ”
Matsukawa Chisato looked at Kimura Kazuki"s naïve face, and calmly offered, “Even though we invited many famous cosplaying societies for this comic-con, but there are also many appearances by characters from The Sword Saga . So, if you could enter the compet.i.tion as Thunder Master, even if you lose, we will still pay you 10,000 yen . How"s that?”

“Now, don"t turn us down just yet . Usually, cosplayers only get a few thousand yen . Famous cosplayers get paid maybe around 50,000 yen… But you only have to cosplay as Thunder Master for one face-off, give us a few pictures and you"ll get 10,000 yen . This job is as easy as pie, what do you think?”
Kimura Kazuki was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, “100,000 . ”
100,000 yen? Are you crazy?
Upon hearing that figure, Mizuno Mari, who stood at the side, was sh.e.l.l-shocked . Matsukawa Chisato"s brows were locked . Before she could say anything, Kimura continued, “If you give me 100,000 yen, I will make the face-off more exciting before defeating Ono Nakamura . ”
“More exciting?” Matsukawa Chisato was intrigued, “How exactly?”
“For example, a demonstration of my swordsmans.h.i.+p . ”
Right after he finished, Kimura Kazuki"s arm jolted . He held his sword single-handedly, and a streak of silver light enveloped the bamboo sword before he slashed it to the chair beside .
The silver glow was like a crescent moon . Matsukawa Chisato and Mizuno Mari were shocked beyond description . Their proximity to danger made their skin ache . But, the chair in front of them looked exactly the same . As Mizuno Mari was about to speak, Kimura Kazuki gently tapped on the chair with the bamboo sword .

The wooden chair that looked as good as new, now laid on the floor in two halves .
Kimura Kazuki saw the shock in their eyes, but he didn"t show any emotion . There wasn"t a CCTV in the resting room, so only the two of them witnessed it . Even if they told others, he didn"t think anyone would believe them .
Kimura Kazuki didn"t mind ordinary people knowing about his sword skills . Even the silver streak of light? That was Kimura Kazuki showing off intentionally .
Kendo and apparition were two different things . The apparition was supernatural, but the various kendo schools were slowly developed and have long been accepted by the public . Moreover, when he saw Ono Nakamura, he could feel the sword power hidden within him . His sword power was feeble, but it truly existed . There are pract.i.tioners in j.a.pan, maybe they are not very strong, but they do exist .
Moreover, the current generation was very accepting of weird things . Just like Chiba s.h.i.+ori, she was quick to accept that ghosts existed in our world, and started bugging him with questions . Obviously, she wasn"t afraid of spirits or whatnot .
Of course… if it were possible not to show it to ordinary people, he wouldn"t show off . He was doing it mainly for the money… he had no choice, he had to make a living off his practice .
According to history, when Iss.h.i.+n Yagyu was at his most desperate when he was homeless, he did not have a cent to his name, so he became a bodyguard to make ends meet . Even heroes have days where they encounter difficulties, including sword saints .
Matsukawa Chisato quickly came to a realization . Shocked, she said, “I never would"ve thought… that Kendo skills could be this amazing . But if you were to use that skill onstage, won"t Ono Nakamura die when your sword hits him?” Being a woman in her thirties, after all, Matsukawa Chisato seemed very calm and composed .
But clearly, Matsukawa Chisato"s gauge of Kimura Kazuki"s strength had risen tenfold .
“Don"t worry, I will only show my basic sword skills onstage . The effect should be fine… The face-off, on the other hand, will make it end within 10 seconds . ”
“10 seconds is too fast…” Matsukawa Chisato frowned, she added, “Can you drag it, so the face-off lasts longer?”
Other than being optimistic about Kimura Kazuki"s kendo skills, Matsukawa Chisato also loved his cool . It fit the impression of the Thunder Master in the novel, so she wanted both of them to stay on stage longer . If they made it into a video, they would attract many people by uploading it online .
Even though she was a make-up artist, but she was also best friends with Muraoka Hiros.h.i.+"s wife . How else would a top make-up artist like her be here?
Upon hearing that, Kimura Kazuki nodded .
“That is possible . 10,000 per second . ”
