“Who the fuck are you?”
“What’s your rank?” The guy asked.
Otake sighed and slashed the guy’s stomach open and then informed him about who he was and his rank.
“I need to report this to the elders right away.” He said.
He decided to move forward but the scar on his chest made him look fatigued.
“This blemish, it’s not just a lesson.”
“It’s--” He said and then passed out.
When Otake passed out, a group of people arrived in the forest and noticed him on the ground. They then carried him and moved to the swordsmans village.
The next morning, he woke up and found himself on a mat and a bandage wrapped around his back through to his chest. He looked around and found Jin Haru sitting close to him as he was preparing some green tea for him. Ji Haru turned and noticed Otake was awake.
“Oh! So you are awake?” He said with a smile.
“How did I get here?” Otake asked.
