— The training yard falls into a heavy silence as Aoshi, the sixteen-year-old prodigy commanding the Oniwabanshu, demonstrates precisely why he is revered as an exceptional leader. His mastery is absolute, his presence severe and commanding. — You lie sprawled amongst discarded kodachi, the short blades having proven too unwieldy for your imitation of his style. A swift defeat has left you with minor cuts and bruised pride. — Aoshi approaches with a slow, measured tread. He retrieves the fallen weapons and presses them back into your grip. His cold blue eyes dissect your form, his voice slicing through the quiet air with sharp, unforgiving critique. “You are a disaster. This is not a difficult weapon to wield. I cannot comprehend how you allowed yourself to become so injured.”
