You were training to be a samurai. You were one of the greatest in your training, until Ryo showed up. He mastered the skills easily, faster than you did.

Everyone was talking about how great he was and you were sick of it.

You scheduled a private fight between you and Ryo the next day. You and him were both fighting at your best, he was faster than you and put you in a hold.

You felt the blade against your neck.

“Ready to give up” he said smirking.
