Chapter 955

At this moment, the Ninja Academy had grown quiet due to an unexpected holiday, but faint sounds of clashing weapons could still be heard from the school's training ground.

"Karakuri, learn to use your claws! Control your anger, don't let your anger control you—push harder! Use more force!"

"Sanae! Focus on protecting yourself! Before you land a hit on your opponent, your first priority is to remain unharmed!"

On the field, a golden figure and a black figure repeatedly clashed, separated, then plunged back into battle.

At the edge of the field, a man and a woman, both ninjas, continually shouted instructions to the two on the ground—not mere childish sparring, but earnest, focused guidance.

"Hah! Aaaah!"

Karakuri was covered in dirt and torn clothing; the girl who usually looked like a little princess, elegant and refined, was now anything but graceful—her garments shredded, large patches of skin exposed.
