Harvey York was only using his slaps at the moment.
Taro Akano would've conceded if Harvey used any other killer move against him.
After all, his opponent was the legendary Chief Instructor.
Every time Harvey landed his slap on Taro’s face, he felt more and more disgraced for the swordsmanship that he took pride in.
At this moment, Taro had a strong urge to slam his head on the ground and end his life.
But he couldn’t even block a single hit from Harvey, nor could he dodge out of the way.
