It would be another two years before tensions between the Yosogi School and the Rodran School cooled enough for him to be comfortable leaving. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the students of the Yosogi School had actually been barred from the martial arts competitions in Wolfir. That had been their punishment for their attack on the Rodran School in the distant past.

Shizuki was using his connections with the influential Royal Ludoria School to try and overturn that decision, while the Rodran School did everything in their power to protect it. Considering the potential conflict that could spark from repealing the punishment, the country was taking a cautious approach to the issue.

Competitions held in the capital, especially those put on for the king, were an invaluable opportunity for those who wished to make a living through their swordsmanship. The chances they presented were limited, though, so it was only natural that the Rodran School and Grend School would oppose allowing the Yosogi School to participate again.

But through Shizuki’s excellent leadership, the Yosogi School did not rise to their opponent’s provocation, and were eventually given permission to participate once again. Shizuki, Win, and the other high level students all joined, and the results they earned brought great fame to the Yosogi School.

At that point, the Rodran School saw no point in holding on to their dispute. If they continued taking a hostile stance against the Yosogi School, it would only hurt their own reputation. So Shizuki and the head of the Rodran School made peace, and the conflict was put to rest.

If, hypothetically, I had gotten involved in that conflict, such a peaceful resolution wouldn’t have satisfied me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t empathize with the desire to get famous through swordsmanship. My pursuit of the sword was for a much more personal, internal satisfaction. Success as a blacksmith required people acknowledging your ability, so I had no issues getting involved in those competitions, but being famous came with plenty of its own drawbacks.

So if it had been left to me, I would have simply crushed the problem in front of me, with no regard to its underlying causes or any thought of how to resolve it properly, even if that didn’t end up solving the actual problem.

With the conflict between schools settled, Win departed on his journey to the west. He would no doubt face many obstacles, and would approach them in a very different way than I would. It broke my heart that I wouldn’t be able to see it all happen in person, but someday I’d get to hear all the stories from him.

How would he face his problems? How would they make him feel? Someday, I’d hear the story of his journey—the story of his life—from his own lips.

◇◇◇

One year after Win left on his journey, which would be six years after I had returned to the Yosogi dojo, I began to teach blacksmithing to some of the students there. Shizuki seemed to guess that the only reason I was staying at the dojo was because of Kaeha.
