Aiko continued to watch as this man she was stalking hunted and killed for his family. Still she knew he had to die here, and as such she exhaled. In this moment she watched him drink from the stream she knew his guard was at least somewhat down. With this in mind, she figured a quick and easy strike would be enough to take down this man as he was, and push her a step closer to her own goal. Given the limitations placed on this particular trial, she would rather avoid close combat, if at all avoidable. As such she soon launched herself forward from the tree, drawing her blade in a single deft motion she aimed to behead this man in a single swirling strike of the katana, in order to give him a quick and painless death.
