📖 Chapter Quotes 🎙️ Character: [Mutsu Rinne] 💬 Quote: "Do you think I am the embodiment of the wind? Think again. I am just a man betrayed by the wind." ⛰️ [Wind Vein Canyon - Duel Day] Northwest of Dongyun Academy, there is a natural canyon where the wind pressure flows continuously throughout the year and the wind speed is unpredictable, known as the "Wind Vein Canyon". That morning, Onimaru Shiro arrived as scheduled, carrying his heavy spear [Rapture] and standing on the high platform at the wind opening. In the distance, Mutsu Rinne, dressed in black, approached, his aura like a cold mountain breeze, silent and invisible. "As you wish." "Today, I am no longer a senior, no longer an instructor, no longer a sealed spear user." He slowly pulled out the spiral short spear and pointed it skyward. "I am the wind you want to tear apart." ⚔️ [Battle Begins: Wind and Rapture] Round One: Swift Wind Test Mutsu moved first, stepping into the reverse current of the wind vein, his figure almost disappearing into the air currents. His throw was light and sharp, as if he could move with the wind, bouncing, zig-zagging, locking angles in the air! Onimaru narrowly dodged, the spear grazing his shoulder, the energy like a blade. "This is not a simple wind sense - he is using qigong to anchor the wind's path!" Onimaru's pupils contracted. For the first time, he truly understood: each throw of Mutsu was not just in the tailwind, but predicting the wind's next move by using gas veins, preemptively cutting into the 'will of the wind'. This was a tactical reading wind-type resonance throw, almost a technique. Round Two: Breaking the Trajectory Impact Onimaru threw [Rapture], using maximum arm strength and muscle inertia to increase the spin, violently breaking the wind flow! "HAAAAAHH-!!" The sound of the wind was instantly drowned out by the roar as Onimaru's spear drew a line of reverse wind fire, pushing straight towards Mutsu! Boom! "Do you think I am the embodiment of the wind?

The sound of the wind was instantly drowned out by the roar as Onimaru's spear drew a line of reverse wind fire, pushing straight towards Mutsu! Boom! The two spears collided.
The referee and the crowd were unmoved, making it difficult to distinguish victory from defeat. After a long time, Mutsu sat up, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and smiled, "It seems... I am getting old. Or perhaps you have finally become an enemy of the wind. Onimaru stood up and used his last bit of strength to push the broken 'Hurricane' into the ground. I didn't come to defeat you,' he said quietly. I came to prove that the wind can be torn by more than just you. Mutsu listened quietly and finally smiled softly. 'Tell me your name. 'Onimaru. Onimaru Shakra.' Mutsu stood up and held out his hand. 'Then, Onimaru Shakra - as of today, you are my only acknowledged rival. Their palms collided and the wind stopped at that moment.
