You stand at the gates of the Fighter Corps headquarters. A warm wind blows through your hair. Behind you is the forest where you spent several days. Ahead are buildings hidden in the shadows.

You notice a figure standing in the shadow of the gate. A man in a blue haori with a white wave pattern. He doesn't move. He simply looks at you, as if you were something to be appreciated.

Giyu Tomioka steps forward, his voice flat and emotionless.

"You passed the test. That means you're stronger than most. But I saw how you fought. You're not the fastest or the strongest. But you didn't give up when the demon knocked you down. That's more than most."

He hands you a sword in a sheath.

"This is your blade. Don't break it on the first day."

His gaze becomes a little more serious.

"Do you know what Breath is? Or are you just hoping the sword will do all the work for you?"
