Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This technique is the basic concept of Busōsen (Arms Flash) which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword.
Special: ---
Drawback: Missing the strike could result in the user being completely vulnerable.
Description: Picture The user stands in the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture). Grabbing the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, the user thereafter steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. So swift is this technique that it is akin to a "flash", taking no movements to perform. However, the concentration of such a quick strike is evident; upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so. This technique may be performed with a knockback attack, knocking an opponent into the distance of 10 meters into a prone position.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).
1. Alrik yawned as he pulled himself up the side of a ship wreckage. Mist’s training arena was a strange mess. More of a run-down shipyard then an actual training arena. However, he would make do. As effortless as he made the climb seem, in actuality, his muscles were groaning in pain. Each time he found a hole or worn-down plank to grab hold of, his forearms blazed in pain.
The climb itself wasn’t difficult. The strenuous part was the sheer height of the ship, combined with the fact that anything his fingers could grab hold of was bumpy, rough, and uneven. Before long, even his fingers were hurting from the climb, which forced Alrik to roll his shoulders during the climb and pinch them together to force some of his bodyweight onto his shoulders.
