He is the origin of my sword. Every technique I possess now stems from the day he defeated me.
Act 1: The Ruins of the Kendo Dojo
In the abandoned kendo dojo in the western district of Dongyun Academy, the light is dim. Tendou Kyouichi pushes open the dusty door and steps onto the long-forgotten training ground. He sparred countless times here with Black God Blade in the past. On the dust-covered wooden floor, one can still faintly see the sword marks left by a horizontal slash from long ago. Kyouichi slowly walks to the center and stops. "This is where I learned how to face defeat. And it is also where I began to learn the 'Three Unbreakables.'" He closes his eyes and stands still. The wind blows through the broken window, and the wooden sword falls from his fingers. Yet, he catches it with a backward motion before it hits the ground. He lightly spins it—it is the initial posture of the Tendou style.At that moment, footsteps are heard behind him. He turns around to see a longsword resembling a fracture from another world slung diagonally across the back of the newcomer. Those eyes are chillingly calm.
Black God Blade smiles and says, "You still like this dojo."
Tendou Kyouichi replies, "Because it is here that I understood that 'a sword cannot take shape through mere imagination.'"
Black God Blade says, "Good. I came to confirm one thing."
He slowly draws the sword. The aura is no longer the "human swordsmanship" of the past but a force mixed with the powers of another world. That is not "killing intent," but a kind of pressure that is almost a manifestation of the sword's soul.
Act 2: Sword Techniques Clash: Otherworld vs. Heavenly Path
The two men are in an abandoned dojo, their blades clashing. The Black God Blade does not begin with human sword techniques, but instead employs a style from another realm. It is characterized by fractured trajectories and tangible illusions.
"Otherworld Sword Technique: Fractured Reflection Type: Void Cleavage One."
The blade carves out a trajectory reminiscent of shattered stars, making its angle difficult to predict. However, Heavenly Path's Kyoichi immediately counters with "Heavenly Path Style: Reactive Defense," executing a triple strike!The wooden sword and the Otherworldly blade collide, producing thunderous explosions as the air folds and collapses in layers between them!The Black God Blade abruptly retreats half a step, stating, "Not bad. You can even withstand the Otherworld Sword Techniques, but I haven't unleashed my full power yet." He raises his hand, and a gray light extends from the hilt to the tip of the blade, accompanied by the Otherworld Condensed Domain Combo Effect."Otherworld Sword Technique: Dual Spirit Heavy Strike: Silent Spirit Two."
Heavenly Path's Kyoichi suddenly erupts with "Heavenly Path Style: Extreme Break Combo: One Break Slash!"
A new technique that reconstructs the three strikes of Heaven's Path into an "Extreme Style Combo" bursts forth from Kyoichi's hand. The sword aura is no longer limited by form, but extends into force!
Act Three: Two Swords, One Soul
After their final strike, both men sheathed their swords simultaneously. Heikami Blade looked at Kyouichi, his voice unusually gentle: "It seems you've really grown."
Kyouichi looked at him: "You are the first sword to return from the other world."
In the silence, the two finally stood side by side, gazing at the starry sky outside the dojo.Heikami Blade said, "What we are about to face next are not just opponents within the academy."
Tendo Kyouichi replied, "But also the source of the invasion from the other world—and the 'Sword of Twilight,' which has turned the academy into a battlefield."
They understood that the destiny of the swords had never truly ended, but from this moment on, they were no longer adversaries.
Instead, they said, "Two swords, one soul, united to slay the enemies."
