"MARVELOUS!" Kyojuro proclaimed after (Y/N) had parried the upward slash of his wooden sword, a beaming smile on his face as he lightly panted, a bit out of breath. "You've accelerated in everything so spontaneously these past six months that I am left speechless, (L/N)-san! That, and I have nothing more to teach you! In fact, I believe you're far more than capable of passing Final Selection without a scratch!"

"Really?" (Y/N) huffed out, wiping away the sweat that dripped from her chin, hope brimming within her chest. "You mean that?"

"Of course I do!" Kyojuro laughed as he replaced his wooden sword on one of the stands. "I would never tell you such things lightly! Besides Kanroji, you are by far one of my best pupils!"

(Y/N)'s eyes widened at the screen.

Wait, what!?

I've completed my quest?

Yes!

"I'm going to go get cleaned up, Rengoku-san!" She hastily announced as she cleaned up her gear before facing off into the manor without Kyojuro able to get a single word in, something he chuckled at with a shake of his head.

Not that she noticed.

Sliding the door closed to her room, (Y/N) excitedly pulled up the system again. To her, six months seemed to fly by due to being trained by Kyojuro tirelessly to perfect her swordsmanship skills and her breathing. It was honestly a strenuous process—even if it felt easier to her as the system's game's main character—but she thought it was all worth it. She continued to become closer to Kyojuro, and she felt as if their relationship was progressing smoothly. Now, she sat on pins and needles ready to learn what Breathing Style she would be using.
