Part 3/8:
As the years pass, Ichi blossoms into a talented shaman and an expert swordswoman. With a bell given to her by Zi as a reminder of his teachings, Ichi perseveres to train diligently, despite the growing distance between her and her mentor. Her life takes an abrupt turn when an unwarranted incident leads to her expulsion from the Gaz group, a community bound by strict rules regarding relationships with men.
An Unexpected Turn of Events
Forced out and alone, Ichi's fate intertwines with a man who initially appears threatening, leading her to draw her sword in self-defense. In a moment of desperation, she kills the man, sealing her separation from her past life and pushing her to wander the cities searching for Zi.
