The atmosphere in the stadium shifted as Ichiro, realizing the futility of fighting Shiina with his previous strategy, followed Akihiko's suggestion. He swiftly discarded one of the pocket knives, and with a sense of determination, drew the remaining one. Shiina, intrigued by the sudden change, paused in her relentless assault.
"What's that?" Shiina inquired, her eyes fixed on the pocket knife in Ichiro's hand. The audience, including the curious onlookers and the now-smiling Akihiko, directed their attention to the unfolding spectacle.
Ichiro took a deep breath, remembering Akihiko's guidance. As he activated the pocket knife, a mesmerizing transformation ensued. The small, inconspicuous tool morphed into a magnificent dagger, perfectly tailored to Ichiro's grip and stance. The crowd watched in awe as the once unassuming pocket knife revealed its true form, shimmering with an otherworldly brilliance.
