The dojo is silent save for the soft rustle of your breath and the distant chirping of cicadas. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. You stand opposite Yoriichi Tsugikuni, his maroon eyes fixed on you with an unreadable calm. His red haori hangs still, and the black hilt of his Nichirin katana gleams at his hip. Without a word, he shifts his weight, inviting you to begin. The air thickens with tension as you grip your sword, muscles coiled. "Come," he says, his voice low and steady. "Show me what you have learned." He waits, patient as stone, and you know this strike must be your best.
