Competition of Two Friends: Kurogawa Yamasawa vs Kōhaku Morimoto

"Is that her?" A boy, no older than twenty, asked.

"Of course it is! It has to be!" His friend replied

"Her skin is flawless and her eyes are like two jewels."

"Don't forget about that body!" He fawned over the raven-haired beauty sitting across from the gymnasium on the bench. Her violet eyes were focused, as usual, on the opponents who appeared not to long ago. Ignorant to the groups of boys, and a few girls, awing over her. "Yamasawa Kurogawa." He whispered. "to think they'd allow here to compete against the men's division."

"Well if what I heard is true, she's already eliminated a majority of the women's division. At least in Osaka that is. Plus the Yamasawa family has quite a few ties, no way they'd deny her."

"Money and beauty."

Kurogawa watched her enemies with the eyes of a predator. She recognized a few faces among the crowd as defeated opponents here to witness another victory claimed by Lady Yamasawa. But she cared little for their entertainment. No. Opponents from nearby universities and even a few cities would arrive. New enemies. New opponents to defeat. Styles to destroy and spirits to claim. They were nothing more.

"Hey Yamasawa!" A girl's cheery voice screamed. A group of college aged girls approached Kurogawa, names she surely could not remember; even if she had tried in the first place. "Good luck in your competition! We're cheering for you."

Kurogawa stared blankly at the gathering crowd with a halfhearted smirk and nodded before returning to her opponents.

"She's so mysterious!" One girl squealed.

"Welcome to the Osaka collegiate Kendo competition! A friendly match where schools are able to send their best competitors to compete.
