Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Chiba, seeing Sato silently clenching his fists, assumed the other was just nervous.

Sato's current reaction further confirms what the boy said earlier, that he was his fan.

It's not surprising that you'd be stunned to be able to film alongside your favorite idol.

Thinking about this, Chiba became more and more satisfied with the other person.

I've struck gold, and the treasure was even born of my own efforts.

Sato, slowly regaining his composure, asked, "May I fight back?"

With a mix of restraint and suppressed excitement, Sato asked a question that Chiba and the director had not expected.

Compared to the pain of the dead man in his mind, Sato's fear of the fight scenes here quickly disappeared, replaced by excitement.

Although I don't know what the reward is, going all out not only gives me the chance to unlock skills, but also allows me to showcase myself and gain more recognition from the people in front of me. In that case, more screen time and more money are possible, and these are all gains.

Of course, this is on the premise that he can withstand three of his opponent's moves.

"Um?"

After glancing at the young man, Chiba immediately understood. He just wanted to spar with him a few more times. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

He increasingly felt that the boy suited his taste.

Although he had already set his sights on the boy, he also wanted to see how many new surprises this seemingly magical child could bring him.

"Can."

Chiba didn't even look at the supervisor and the others behind him; he just nodded vigorously.

"OK!"

Seeing that the two of them had already changed the audition content with their back-and-forth conversation, the supervisor smiled wryly to himself, but did not stop them.

He was also quite curious about what would happen if Sato, who had just amazed everyone with his sword drawing, fought against Chiba Shinichi.

This also relates to their upcoming roles in the film.

The script is not yet finalized, and it is being revised as filming progresses. If the performance is good, more screen time will be added, which will increase viewership and benefit them as well.

After all, the role Sato auditioned for wasn't some minor character who only appeared in one scene and had one line; it was a proper role with a billing order.

Under the watchful eye of their supervisor, the two quickly got ready.

"Go ahead and get ready."

Chiba spoke first.

"Yes!"

Sato responded, and the boy, now with a 50% increase in draw speed, swiftly drew the wooden sword from his waist.

Just like before, Chiba drew his sword in front of the boy.

Although Sato made the first move, Chiba managed to overtake Sato by virtue of his strong arm muscles and exquisite control of power.

"really."

Sato was not surprised by what he was seeing.

Although he has skills, they are increased at a rate based on a percentage.

After a month, his health improved considerably, and he even gained some muscle.

However, compared to a professional action actor like Chiba who has trained hard for many years, it is obviously impossible for him to surpass him with just one month of hard work and a 50% speed boost.

The instant their blades clashed, Sato seemed to sense it and raised his own sword.

He deflected Chiba's next attack, which was a stab to the abdomen.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chiba's eyes.

However, his body did not stop. He changed his steps again, and while making a smooth turn like an eel, his blade went straight for Sato's throat.

As if anticipating his move, Sato crouched down and followed up with a sweeping leg kick.

The posture wasn't very elegant, but it was still a narrow escape.

"Ground warfare is a good idea, but it has too many weaknesses."

As soon as Chiba finished speaking, he jumped away and blocked Chiba's outstretched foot with his sword.

......

Having only gone through one more move than in the mental simulation, Sato lost his balance and was pinned to the ground by his opponent, who held a sword to his throat and then slashed him across.

The difference is that the pain here is much less.

Only the slight sting of the rough wood against his throat was so mild that it almost felt unreal.

However, having already mentally rehearsed this scene countless times, Sato was quite adept at creating death scenes.

Turning his body in the direction of the force, he let out a soft whimper, and with the activation of the "Death Strike" skill, Sato collapsed to the ground with a few physiological convulsions.

Of course, his portrayal of a "dead man" was excellent.

This time, even the director, who had already decided to cast Sato, was increasingly satisfied.

His professional perspective as a supervisor told him that this young man was destined for success.

"very good."

Seeing the boy who had broken character, Shinichi Chiba stepped forward and extended his hand to him.

"Although I had heard from the beach that you were good at playing dead people, this is beyond my imagination."

Chiba speaks with a touch of boldness, like a chivalrous knight, exuding a dashing spirit.

"I'm just constantly improving, and I hope I can meet your standards."

The boy also extended his hand and stood up with Chiba's help.

Looking at the composed and unassuming young man before them, everyone except Chiba exchanged glances and nodded, their original answer becoming increasingly clear.

Besides Sato, they couldn't find a second more suitable role.

Normally, when someone recommends a place by the sea, they would exaggerate the benefits, but this time they did the opposite.

Sato performed exceptionally well, even better than Haibin had predicted.

Not to mention, he has a stable temperament and appears cautious, humble, and polite.

Working with someone like that reduces the chances of scandals, requires less money than others, and makes the production crew more likely to be harmonious.

One point alone would certainly not have been enough for them to make a decision, but now that all three points are combined, they have made their decision.

"Ahem, we've decided to hire you for this role. Go back and continue to think about the character."

"The script will be sent to your agent later."

The supervisor's tone was much more humane than when they first met, and even the smile on his face was so warm.

This signifies that he has officially landed the role and has officially shed his status as an extra.

Sato suppressed his excitement and lowered his eyes slightly in agreement.

At the same time, a system message appeared before his eyes again.

[After sparring with Hattori Hanzo, you barely kept up with his speed, but unfortunately, you're still far behind!]

[Unlock New Achievement: Mentor and Friend]

[Unlock Reward: When he teaches you martial arts, your comprehension increases by 20%]

This is such a series of surprises!

Comprehension, what is that?

It sounds rather mysterious.

However, just like when people say that rote memorization is useless and that talent is what matters.

It's like some celebrities who aren't martial arts professionals, yet their moves are so impressive that even professional martial arts supervisors are quite satisfied with them.

This is where comprehension comes into play; it's roughly equivalent to a talent that allows someone to learn things faster.

He made a fortune from this audition.
