Kapitel 244: Three Houses

Leonardo looked at the serious Emily and cracked a smile, saying, "I'll give you three strikes to go back to the Qing Sector and practice for now, we can discuss the specifics later." 

"Just three?!" 

Emily's eyes widened as she heaved and panted, not believing her ears. What was she supposed to do with only three strikes? 

Leonardo shook his head, exasperated as he explained patiently, "Are you supposed to be saying that after experiencing it firshand? Each strike has eighty-one variations of parrying, deflecting, slashing, and piercing. They're called Nine by Nine variations… As in, each strike has nine levels of mastery and you can only use the three strikes in sync if your mastery over the variations keeps up.
