Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

"But before that"

"I need to get stronger."

Hiko Seijuro paused in his drinking, not expecting to hear such a conclusion.

He had heard the rumors about this foolish disciple.

Himura Battosai.

A peerless swordsman.

The former happened a long time ago; the latter is more famous recently.

(His murderous aura and malevolent energy were exceptionally strong, but his eyes were unusually clear, without any sign of confusion.)

"It doesn't seem like they're lost, huh?"

"Now that things have come to this, what else can I teach you?"

"Secret Technique."

"."

"Please teach me the secrets of the Flying Sword Style!"

Seeing Kenshin's serious expression and attitude, Hiko Seijuro then questioned him.

Why should we learn the profound mysteries?

"I've heard that you're now unmatched and are known as the peerless swordsman in the world."

"When the enemy encounters you, they can only pray that you will draw your blade without killing them."

With his legs crossed, his sturdy frame sitting on the stool, Hiko Seijuro teased.

"Because I am not strong enough."

"Really? Such humility during what should be the proudest period of your life? Truly..."

"I went to a very far place before."

His words were interrupted, and Hiko Seijuro unscrewed the bottle, patiently waiting for what was to come, listening intently.

"There, I encountered many masters."

"To my shame, I was hardly a threat to them at the time."

"In the end, in the duel of swords, I lost to a foreign queen."

The story is slowly told by Kenshin in another form.

PS:

The ending of the previous chapter was purely an Easter egg, much like the subsequent development of Waver and his companions.

Chapter 62 I must live!

"And then, are you still upset about losing to that foreign queen named 'Artoria'?"

"That's incredibly stupid."

"Why weren't you killed by them?"

"Is this something a master should say to his disciple?"

Staring wide-eyed, Kenshin almost had his blood pressure rise from this "old guy's" words.

In fact, if it weren't for the special nature of the Dragon Ball War, he should have died there.

"So, after you came back, you felt that you were not strong enough, so you planned to practice hard to learn the secrets from me before taking revenge?"

Without exploring the authenticity of the story, Hiko Seijuro looked at him and asked directly.

"No, I just don't want to feel so powerless anymore."

"Ordinary swordsmanship is no match for such a master."

"."

Without uttering any more harsh words, Hiko Seijuro could sense the "unwillingness" in Kenshin's words.

(Is this someone even the Flying Sword Style can't handle?)

(It seems he really suffered a big blow.)

As he pondered the key points, Hiko Seijuro became unusually interested.

It should be known that the Flying Sword Style has been a "killing sword technique" since ancient times, and even has the power to influence the world.

Even a master swordsman of this caliber couldn't defeat him.

Even from Hiko Seijuro's own perspective, it should be considered quite rare.

"come over."

"Ok?"

Following Hiko Seijuro's footsteps, Kenshin traversed the familiar mountain path and finally arrived at a waterfall.

"Draw the sword."

"Any knife will do."

Standing before the precipice, Hiko Seijuro turned to look at him and then said in a deep voice.

"."

After thinking it over, Kenshin finally pulled out the "Tenseiga".

"A blade that's positioned slightly higher up, is that what's called a blade that doesn't kill? Although it looks a bit different from an ordinary blade, it's a bit of a stretch to say it can't kill, isn't it?"

"not to mention"

"Do you really think you can kill me?!"

With a smirk, Hiko Seijuro drew his beloved sword and said disdainfully.

"!"

"A long-awaited master-disciple showdown, let me see what the so-called unparalleled master is all about."

Wearing a cloak, Hiko Seijuro charged forward, and Kenshin immediately responded.

"Bang!"

He raised his sword, gripped the ground with both feet to maintain his balance, and blocked the incoming blow.

(Wow, her reaction was faster than I expected.)

Hiko Seijuro was somewhat surprised that he could handle this sudden attack so smoothly.

"clank!!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew, and Kenshin and Hiko Seijuro's figures moved continuously.

(The rumor is true)

(This kid seems to have really grown a lot.)

(No wonder outsiders are helpless against you.)

Although he hadn't used his full strength yet, Kenshin was already able to keep up with his current speed steadily.

You know, this is an incredible thing.

"boom!!"

Swords clashed, and Hiko Seijuro then used his muscular body to slam into Kenshin.

"Uh!"

Although he was knocked back a distance, Kenshin quickly adjusted his posture.

(Strength, wrist strength, flexibility, waist strength, leg strength.)

(It's a world of difference compared to what it used to be.)

(Upon closer inspection, he was also noticeably more robust in physique.)

Such all-round growth surprised Hiko Seijuro a little.

Flying Sword Style.

Dragon Soars!

"You're in too much of a hurry, you idiot!"

Seeing Kenshin's swordsmanship as he closed in, Hiko Seijuro took two steps back, dodging the upward slash, and then swung his sword at him.

"!"

But Kenshin dodged that seemingly inevitable strike by flipping his body in mid-air.

(This sense of suspended motion and power.)
