In the realm of "Shadows of Resolve," kingdoms flourish under the protection of noble swordsmen known as Knights. Among them, the Azure Guardians stand as paragons of courage and skill, defending the realm from dark threats that encroach upon its borders. Cities gleam with the promise of prosperity, while the countryside echoes with tales of legendary swords and heroic deeds.
Amidst the grandeur of the kingdom's capital, Ryuichi Seiryu stands as a young swordsman of unmatched agility and potential. Orphaned at a young age and raised within the disciplined halls of the Azure Guardians, Ryuichi has never known his parents and carries a quiet determination to prove himself worthy of their legacy.
As dawn breaks over the city, Ryuichi is found in the training grounds, his movements a graceful dance of steel. His katana slices through the air with precision, each strike a testament to years of rigorous training and unwavering dedication. Around him, fellow squires spar and hone their skills, preparing for the forthcoming examination that will determine their future as knights.
Just as Ryuichi finishes a rigorous training session, Yuki Ishiwaka appears at the edge of the training grounds. Her presence is a calming influence amidst the intensity of preparations. She approaches Ryuichi with a soft smile, her eyes reflecting concern and warmth.
Yuki: "Ryuichi..."
Ryuichi: "Yuki, what brings you here?"
Yuki: "I heard about the upcoming examination. I wanted to wish you luck." She pauses, her expression turning serious. "And... I need your help with something."
Ryuichi: nods, intrigued "Of course, Yuki. What do you need?"
Yuki: pauses, gathering her thoughts "Ryu...Go there and Win it!"
Ryuichi: smiles reassuringly "I won't let you down, Yuki. Count on me."
Word spreads among the aspirants of the Sword Knights—a prestigious order tasked with safeguarding the kingdom's peace and honour. Ryuichi and his peers gather in the Grand Arena, where the examination begins with 1v1 battles. The rules are clear: lose your sword, and you lose the battle. Each match is a test of skill, strategy, and resolve, as participants vie for the chance to join the ranks of the Knights.
With resolve burning in his heart, Ryuichi steps into the arena, his eyes focused on the opponent before him. The clash of steel echoes through the arena as combatants engage in a dance of blades and determination. The air crackles with anticipation as participants prepare to demonstrate their prowess. Amidst the cheers of spectators and the weight of expectation, Ryuichi fights not only for himself but for the honour of becoming a knight. The journey towards knighthood awaits, and Ryuichi is ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead.
