"My ancient secrets, naturally," the old man replied immediately, and in the manner you'd expect a friendly old wizard to. The blind man stood up in front of Yomi and started feeling his facial features for some reason. "I will be honest, boy - I had my suspicions you were not of common blood. You told me your story, and how you'd been left with the short sword I assume you still carry. A peasant doesn't have a weapon unless entrusted to carry one by their lord. You were quite clearly born to be Samurai, Yomi."

Kaori rolled her eyes pridefully as the old man spoke. Magic didn't exist, right...? He would probably use some weird tricks and pass it off as the real thing. Besides, who needed magic when you were a talented warrior?
