Thank you. ^_^ I've had a lot of practice recently, so my blade has been cleaned of rust. Now, I keep fighting to hone my edge. ^_^ You're exceptional, yourself.

*As you block my blade and then begin to focus your charka into the blade I had previously cupped, using the SSS to burst my barrier, it seems that I was correct in assuming you would do so, and releasing your blade when I had, preventing myself from being cut.
As you slash at me, though, with your SSS infused weapon, I quickly counter with my own katana, having focused chakra into it as well, shortly after you did, slashing, as I quickly take a few steps backwards myself.
However, when I see you quickly slash three times, aiming those three shockwaves at me, I slash quickly, sending a shockwave of my own from the SSS, at a slight axis, blocking all three shockwaves, due to it being as powerful collectively as those, despite beings slower. Immediately after firing the shockwave, though, in order to keep myself prepared, I send renewed chakra to the blade, keeping the SSS active. *
"Hm? Kougenjin? That's Keotsu's technique... When did he teach you Mirage Blade?"
*Taking my SSS infused blade, I assume the Gedan kendo stance, with my blade pointing towards the ground, as I begin to slowly circle you.*
"I believe it's your turn for the offensive."
