The prerequisite to learn it was to bring all 9 Minor Sword Masteries to Lv.30 and to combine three each into a Major Sword Mastery.
Converting all 9 of them into 3 Major Sword Masteries was sothing even the Tier-5 Sword Partitioners would find had to accomplish.
For Kensei to be able to tap into Sword Intent in the midst of combining three Minor Sword Masteries into his first Major Sword Mastery, it would only an he awakened the 'Sword Heart'!
A Weapon Heart was sothing that rivals the Bloodlines, exclusive to the Weapon Innate Talent users.
Only by becoming one with their Weapon could one awaken a Weapon Heart.
Even Kensei himself didn't realise he awakened a Sword Heart while subrged in a state of Enlightennt.
It was what let him manifest the Sword Intent and used that to control the transitioning Sword Aura and protect Kensei when Seath was about to attack him.
As the Sword Aura reached closer and closer to Stage-4, Kensei's Spirit Energy expended at a rate his reserves exhausted in less than three minutes.
The streams of Sword Aura that continuously attacked Seath had vanished, and Kensei still remained in the sa position with his eyes closed, unaware of the onslaught his Sword Heart had brought upon Seath.
Felarial was dumbfounded to see soone awaken a Sword Heart at Tier-3. But at the sa ti, Seath's ability to glitch through the Space-Ti Continuum itself ca as quite a shocker for him.
If it weren't for that, Seath would have already been defeated. He was about to intervene, but before that, Kensei was the one to exhaust Spirit Energy before Seath could.
At that point, as long as Seath attacked, he could defeat Kensei, but he didn't hurry to do so, lest his opponent had so other way to turn the tables.
Just then, Felarial heard Jay's voice in his mind once again. He was a bit surprised, but he still did as Jay asked.
Felarial then announced, "Since the Earth's Combatant, Kensei was no more in the condition to fight, I declare the 1st Bout as Earth Team's loss.
Taking the matter of Kensei's rare opportunity into consideration, I postpone the 2nd Bout until Kensei exits his state of Enlightennt.
To maintain fairness, the Owlite Team's Combatant, Seath, could use this ti to recover his Spirit Energy and Stamina and contemplate on whom to choose as his next opponent."
Seath stood still, finding it hard to believe he had won. He could use at most three tis with what was left of his Spirit Energy.
If their fight dragged any longer, he would have lost the Bout without a doubt. Soone as prideful as him wasn't able to digest the fact that he almost lost without the slightest bit of retaliation.
But at the sa ti, as a Sword Innate Talent user himself, Seath couldn't help but hold Kensei in high regard.
He got off the Stage and recuperated as he waited for Kensei to finish his Enlightennt. Since the combatant who won couldn't use Spiritual Fruits to recover for their next Bout, he could only depend on his natural regeneration.
A little more than half an hour later, Kensei opened his eyes and only then did the pain hit him. Just after his leg was sliced off, he entered the 'Imrsive Enlightennt State' with no awareness of anything that happened around him.
As he looked around in confusion, Andrea made her way onto the Stage and briefed him on everything as she reattached Kensei's severed leg.
As everyone watched, they both got off the Stage and took their seats in the Earth Team seating rows. Kensei didn't remain silent and apologised to Jay.
"Don't be sorry. We just lost a Bout, not the Match. Besides, you have gained a lot from it. So, this wasn't entirely a loss."
At Jay's nonchalant reply, Kensei bowed his head and took a seat by the side.
Right after that, Seath climbed onto the Stage and picked Dante as his opponent for the 2nd Bout.
Seath pondered on defeating his new opponent with pure physical attacks so that he could save his slightly recovered Spirit Energy for the next Bout.
"Before we start, can I ask why you chose when there was another Tier-2 mber in my Team?"
Dante's query caught Seath off guard since there was no hint of worry when facing him.
After giving it a thought, he attributed Dante's carefree behaviour to giving up on the Match.
Since there was no penalty for losing a Match, the Earth Team wouldn't have to worry about losing Evaluation Points in their next four Matches.
As long as they could be careful and send their Oga Chosen right off the bat, winning was no longer an uncertainty.
"It doesn't make any difference. I will choose your Team's other Tier-2 mber for the 3rd Bout."
Watching Seath go as if he had already won the Match made Dante chuckle at his ignorance, even more so at Seath ntioning he would choose Jay as his next opponent.
Dante brought out his from his Storage Ring and assud his fighting stance before taunting Seath, "For that, you have to defeat first."
