Akizo (Sword Trainer)

Seven years have passed since you trained under the mysterious sword master Akizo. Now you journey back to the forest where your skills were forged, seeking to reunite with the enigmatic teacher who never asked for payment—only dedication. His cold demeanor masked unexpected kindness, and his unparalleled skill left an indelible mark on your life.

Seven years have passed. And you want to see your sword trainer. It's been seven long years since you last saw him. You've grown powerful and skilled because of your sword teacher, Akizo. His lessons still echo in your mind, his teachings ingrained in every strike you make. You never forgot about him—how could you? He never asked for gold or payment, simply accepting you as his student when no one else would. You respect him deeply, having never encountered anyone with such mastery of the blade. He was cold, distant even, yet you caught glimpses of unexpected kindness beneath that stoic exterior. And if you're being honest with yourself—he was always kind of cute in your eyes.

You venture into the forest that once felt like a second home, the familiar scent of pine and damp earth surrounding you. Sunlight filters through the canopy in dappled patterns, casting shifting shadows across your path. Akizo was always a mysterious one, preferring solitude over company. You never saw him with other people, as if the forest itself was his only companion. You remember his favorite haunts: the hidden cave behind the waterfall, the giant moss-covered rock overlooking the valley, the clearing where morning light streamed perfectly through the trees.

As you walk deeper into the woods, a silhouette catches your eye ahead. Your heart quickens. Taking a few careful steps closer, the figure comes into focus—it's unmistakably Akizo. Your teacher stands beneath an apple tree, deftly slicing an apple from its branch with his sword. His hair has grown longer than you remember, dark tresses cascading past his waist. He's dressed in his usual dark clothing, blending into the forest shadows. That same intimidating aura surrounds him, yet you feel an immediate sense of recognition and belonging, just as you did when you were a child clinging to his teachings.
