"Sword Saint."
Upon hearing this title, so of the girls who were unfamiliar with swordsmanship looked confused.
Seeing their expressions, Hachiman sighed and turned to Saeko, signaling her to explain.
Saeko nodded understandingly, smiled slightly, and began, "So far, the highest achievent in the Japanese Swordsmanship world is the Swordmaster. Hachiman beca the tenth Swordmaster in the Japanese Swordsmanship world during the competition a year ago, I believe everyone knows about this."
Upon hearing this, the girls nodded.
"There are only ten Swordmasters in the entire Japanese Swordsmanship world, so you can imagine the difficulty of reaching such a level," Saeko continued her explanation.
"However, beyond the Swordmaster, there is said to be another realm, known as the Sword Saint!"
"Unfortunately, Sword Saints haven't appeared for hundreds of years, so it's just a legend now."
"In Japanese history, there have only been five Sword Saints: Tsukahara Bokuden, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Yagyu Munenori, Miyamoto Musashi, and Yagyu Jubei."
"I'm sure you've heard these nas sowhere."
"Unfortunately, even the last Sword Saint, Yagyu Jubei, has been gone for over three hundred years."
"For over three hundred years, there have been several Swordmasters in each era, but there's only one legend of the Sword Saint left. Many masters acclaid as the closest to the Sword Saint, like Kenji Kuki, couldn't break through that final barrier in their lifeti..."
At this point, Saeko paused, then her tone beca excited.
"But things are different now! A Sword Saint has finally erged in the Japanese Swordsmanship world, and that's Hachiman-kun."
Hearing her words, the girls looked at each other, and finally, Erina spoke up, "So, Saeko-neechan, how can you be sure that Hachiman has truly reached the level of a Sword Saint? Do you have any evidence?"
"Naturally, there's evidence," Saeko smiled faintly.
"The standard for the Swordmaster realm is being able to wield Sword Aura. Under the cover of Sword Aura, even a wooden sword can easily cut through steel."
"In legend, the Sword Saint realm can release Sword Aura externally, achieving the effect of harming enemies from a distance."
"Hachiman-kun can do this, so I'm confident that he has beco the Sword Saint that hasn't appeared in the Japanese Swordsmanship world for over three hundred years."
After listening to Saeko's explanation, the girls were sowhat perplexed.
"Sword Aura projection?"
That sounds a bit too fantastical, like sothing out of an ani.
Seeing their reactions, Hachiman shrugged.
"Let demonstrate for you."
With that, he raised his right hand again and gestured towards the nearby great white shark corpse.
In the girls' eyes, there was clearly about half a ter of distance between Hachiman and the shark's body, but as he swung his right hand down, a wound appeared on the shark's corpse.
This...
Seeing this, the girls couldn't help but believe.
Although it sounded fantastical, the truth was right in front of them.
They hadn't expected Hachiman to suddenly beco the legendary Sword Saint, which made them feel sowhat unreal.
Seeing the girls' stunned expressions, Hachiman shrugged.
"There's no need for you to react like this. Regardless of what I beco, whether it's a Sword Saint or a Sword God, I'm still , Hachiman Hikigaya."
Hearing his words, the girls also ca back to their senses.
Yeah, no matter how much he achieves, he's still that Hachiman.
Yumiko was the first to adjust her mood, "Hmph, even if you beco a Sword God, you're still just a sword enthusiast."
Hearing this, the girls burst into laughter.
As for Hachiman, although he appeared unaffected on the surface, he made a ntal note of Yumiko's words.
I'll deal with you later.
Thinking this to himself, Hachiman looked at Erina.
"I'll leave so shark at for tonight's al. Erina, do you think we should have the rest of it taken away and preserved by the staff from your family?"
After looking at the huge great white shark on the beach, Erina thought for a mont and nodded.
After all, they wouldn't be able to finish such a large shark, and if it wasn't preserved in ti, it would soon go bad.
With that, Erina returned to the villa, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.
"Alright, I've inford the staff from my family on the island. They'll co soon to take the shark away." Returning to the beach, Erina nodded towards Hachiman.
Upon hearing this, Hachiman also nodded and approached the carcass of the great white shark, beginning to divide the parts he needed.
In addition to the familiar shark fin, shark at also contains rich protein, which is considered a low-cost source of protein by fishern along the coast. However, shark at has a fatal flaw—it has a strong urine-like sll.
Because sharks excrete through their skin, over ti, shark at will emit a strong urine-like sll. However, if you have excellent cooking skills, you can still make shark at taste delicious.
Naturally, this was no challenge for Hachiman.
Moreover, sharks are the only animals that don't get cancer, so consuming shark at has a certain inhibitory effect on cancer cells.
Since he had already demonstrated his Sword Aura in front of the girls, Hachiman didn't bother hiding anything and simply used his hand to cut off the parts he wanted.
But watching him divide the shark at into chunks, the girls still found it quite intriguing.
Soon enough, Hachiman successfully cut several large pieces of shark at, but for the huge great white shark, it was just a drop in the ocean.
After marinating the cut shark at and giving a simple treatnt to the shark fins, he prepared them for the barbecue party in the evening.
...
At six in the afternoon, the girls finished their fun on the beach, and Hachiman had already completed all the preparations in the afternoon. Marinated ats, prepared vegetables and fruits, and of course, the beer that Shizuka had specifically requested to buy, were all ready.
After assembling the barbecue grill, loading it with charcoal, the lively barbecue party began.
As the marinated at slices were placed on the preheated grill, the sizzling sound of barbecue filled the air.
With the at slices heating up on the grill, the enticing aroma gradually wafted out, tempting the girls who couldn't help but salivate, wishing they could eat right away.
Hachiman occasionally flipped the at slices with tongs.
Before long, the at slices were almost done, sprinkled with so seasoning, and the first batch of barbecue was ready.
Handing out the grilled at slices to the girls, Hachiman placed the second batch of ingredients on the grill.
The girls had been teased by the aroma and couldn't wait any longer. They eagerly grabbed the at slices and took a bite.
"Mmm... it's hot..."
"Mmm... Mmm... so delicious."
"So this is shark at? It tastes similar to chicken."
