After the announcement of the winner, Headmaster Brian, walked to the podium to say some words.
Eiji didn't listen, he was looking down and was thinking about some things.
He didn't know if what he did was right in forfeiting the fight against Herald, but he didn't regret it.
But! The thing was, the prize of the winner was 100,000 Gins!
And the second place was 50,000 Gins!
Now as the third placer, he have won 20,000 Gins!
He was so focused on the matter of being at the top Eight, that he forgot the prizes of the tournament!
The first placer was also given a sword technique in his own choice being only barred from the S class techniques!
The second place was also given a technique but was a given technique chosen by the school itself.
The third place only got the money!
Eiji regretted not knowing about this!
Had he remembered!
*Sigh!
Sighing to himself, Eiji left the stadium.
He forgot how he got his prize money, how he stood in the podium along with the top 8, or what he did when they were taking a picture.
He was just sad about the money and the techniques!
After taking a shower and a meal in his dorm, Eiji walked towards the training grounds.
When he arrived, he saw his Master Muri in there, sitting in hus usual spot under a tree reading a book.
"Eiji?! Congratulations! You are a third placer in the tournament!"
Muri congratulated Eiji.
"Well.. I forgot that the tournament has prize money, if I remembered, I would Have fought a bit more and maybe get to the second place!"
"Hahahah!"
Muri was amused by what his disciple said.
Although Eiji doesn't really need that much money with his support, Eiji's personality doesn't want him to rely on him with regards to these type of things.
After a few chats, Eiji started his training.
Muri didn't say anything to stop or make him rest.
Eiji is training diligently, and even if he did have a fight today, it was a quick and fast fight, so even if he trained hard, it wouldn't make a change if he rests or not.
Besides, he was only doing his usual light swings.
*Swiish!
*Swoosh!
*Swiish!
Eiji swung his wooden katana with concentration in every strike.
It wasn't fast nor was it very slow, it was just full of concentration and control.
Muri watched Eiji, and sighed a bit.
With the way of Eiji's fighting style is, it won't be a surprise if he gets invited to that department.
"Eiji!"
Muri called out to Eiji, to which he stopped his practice and looked at his master.
"Yes, Master?"
"In the next monday, you will be a graduate and officially become a swordsman!"
"Yes Master!"
Eiji didn't know what his master was pointing out but he decided to listen.
"Hmm.. In that day, you will be given your offial swordsman robes, a standard metal Katana, and the Masamune kingdom Brooch!"
Eiji nodded his head.
"Now, there are two things that I want to talk about, The sword Oath and the Kingdom departments! You know about that right?!"
"Hmm! We were given a lessons about that this year!"
Muri nodded his head at Eiji's answer, now he wants to know what Eiji's plan was with regards to these two things.
"Good, Now tell me what you know about them!"
Eiji nodded his head and started to open his mouth to answer.
*End Of Chapter.
