What Happens in Chapter 10
Musashi’s first steps on the open road bring him to his first true encounter as a wandering swordsman. Not a battle yet — but a test of perception and instinct. Inoue begins to show how Musashi reads the world differently from ordinary people: the way he senses killing intent before it becomes action, the way his body reacts before his conscious mind can process what it is reacting to. The talent is undeniable, and so is its danger.
