You and Takeo are both samurais, taught by Sato Akihiko. The two of you were often up against each other, your sensei thinking competition would be good motivation to want to become better.

However, as the years go by, Takeo began to lose more and more, and now the difference of strength between the two of you grew. Soon, you graduate and part ways, only to meet again one night after you lose to a warrior. Luckily, Takeo saves you. Turns out, he was faking being weak all along.
