• [Old Man] The clan worked behind the scenes and basically lived their lives for their lord.

• [Old Man] They were very loyal doing whatever deed their lord asked for.

• [Old Man] Ninja, the clan was known as the dark clan but that doesn't mean they wanted to be hidden in the darkness.

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Old Man] They are a secret organization that even the lord didn't know much about.

• [Old Man] The few that knew about the clan's existence, tried to investigate them but nobody was able to reveal their true identity.

• [Leader Gion] Our ancestors had 4 tests to train our people.

• 1

  4 tests?

  Available immediately

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] Yes, there are 4 tests. My ancestors trained my people with 4 tests that involve ^087FF8knowledge^000000, ^087FF8survival^000000, ^087FF8weapons^000000, and ^087FF8battle^000000.

• [Leader Gion] I know you are curious what these tests are. Let me explain one by one.

• [Leader Gion] We need to be knowledgeable in order to assist the lord. This test is for this purpose.

• [Leader Gion] You can pass the test if you successfully solve more than 9 out of 10 questions.

• [Leader Gion] The test will be easy to pass if you've been steady in your studies. Now what other test are you curious about?

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Missions aren't always easy and safe. That is why survival instincts are vital to us.

• [Leader Gion] My ancestors call this test the dice test. It is a test to advance forward depending on the dice results.

• [Leader Gion] Think of it as the simple dice games people play.

• [Leader Gion] But never let your guard down during the test because it isn't called the survival test for nothing.

• [Leader Gion] There will be blocks that help you while there are blocks that will interrupt you.

• [Leader Gion] If you deal with various situations wisely, you will be able to pass the test. Now what other test are you curious about?

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] My clan was famous for using unique weapons that we created.

• [Leader Gion] You would be considered blessed if you created your own unique weapon.

• [Leader Gion] Creating a weapon for yourself and refining it is the purpose of this test.

• [Leader Gion] I hope you will be blessed and find the best weapon for yourself. Now what other test are you curious about?

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Missions are not always done alone. You will often work in teams of 2 or 3 for a common goal.

• [Leader Gion] The battle test is only for those that pass that knowledge, survival and weapon tests. So! It is the very last test.

• [Leader Gion] Unlike the other three tests that are done alone, you will have to compete with others in this final test.

• [Leader Gion] There is only one target!! And only the first to get to the target passes the test.

• [Leader Gion] You'll be lucky if you have no competitors during your test.

• [Leader Gion] A challenge is better than explaining it a hundred times. It's the actual experience that makes you better.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Seeing is believing, so go on and take the challenge.

• [Leader Gion] Let's start right away after you are done with preparations.

• Dialogue ends here

• Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] It's been a while.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Since I felt happy like this. I feel young and energetic seeing young people like you challenge themselves with a new path.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] We're done with explaining about the tests, now should I tell you my clan story?

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] My clan started from two warriors.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Kagerou, a warrior like the dancing flames of the sun.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] Oboro, a warrior like the misty moonlight.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] The Sun and the Moon. The sunlight that lights up the world and the moonlight that lights up the night. Both were very similar but different warriors.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] There was a time there was an enmity between both warriors.

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] But it didn't take long for them to become one as a clan.

• [Leader Gion] Looks like you are pretty eager to hear more. Where did I leave off... Ah! I remember.

• [Leader Gion] Kagerou, a warrior like the dancing flames of the sun.

• [Leader Gion] Oboro, a warrior like the misty moonlight.

• [Leader Gion] Both warriors weren't close at first, because personality and everything else was completely opposite of each other.

• [Leader Gion] The first place they met was the battlefield. And you know how enemies greet each other on a battlefield.

• [Leader Gion] They ended up injuring each other badly.

• [Leader Gion] But what can you do? War is a war.

• [Leader Gion] The friend you've laughed with yesterday is a foe that you have to fight with in a war today.

• [Leader Gion] So nobody can get along with anyone during a war.

• [Leader Gion] I'll continue the story after you pass another test.

• [Leader Gion] Which test will you choose for the second test?

• Dialogue ends here

• You've passed the ^339CCCTests of Knowledge and Survival^000000!

  Script requirement

• [Leader Gion] You've passed the ^339CCCTests of Knowledge and Weaponry^000000! You've passed the ^339CCCTests of Survival and Weaponry^000000!

• [Leader Gion] You are already done with two tests. Hope you've learned a lot from them.

• [Leader Gion] Shall we continue with the story?

• [Leader Gion] Kagerou, a warrior like the dancing flames of the sun.

• [Leader Gion] Oboro, a warrior like the misty moonlight.

• [Leader Gion] I think I left off when the two warriors met at the battlefield as enemies.

• [Leader Gion] The long war ended eventually but the wounds and pain of those that survived had just started.

• [Leader Gion] So these two warriors started to embrace and heal the war wounds together and became one.

• [Leader Gion] There is a backstory of a man appearing in front of them and winning the loyalty from both warriors.

• 1

  Who is this man?

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] There isn't much known about this man. Only a short mentioning of the two warriors pledging their allegiance.

• [Leader Gion] Maybe current generations like me are the ancestors of the current Amatsu lord? But this is only an assumption.

• [Leader Gion] I'm almost at the end of my clan story. Come back after you've passed the third test and I will tell you the rest.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] You've gone through three tests leaving only one to pass.

• [Leader Gion] As I've told you before, the last test is different because you have to compete against others.

  Will you continue the story?

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] Ha ha ha. I will finish the story.

• [Leader Gion] Kagerou, a warrior like the dancing flames of the sun.

• [Leader Gion] Oboro, a warrior like the misty moonlight.

• [Leader Gion] It is told that the man that earned the loyalty of the two warriors was a humorous person.

• [Leader Gion] He like the jokes and conversations better than quarrels and he liked women over men.

• [Leader Gion] Hmm... I don't know why this part of the story was kept alive all these years but this man wanted to bring these two warriors together.

• [Leader Gion] Both warriors did travel together after the war but kept an awkward distance from each other.

• [Leader Gion] They must have had their reasons but their lord would send them out to a difficult mission together, put them in a secret room together and all sorts of situations together.

  Sounds like an odd person.

  What happened after?

  Available immediately

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Leader Gion] Sadly, the next part of story was purposely discontinued.

• [Leader Gion] I think it's because someone wanted us to let go of the past and move forward.

• [Leader Gion] That's that. Now shouldn't you be preparing for the last test?

• [Leader Gion] But since you've gone through much, I'm sure you will do good with the final test.

• [Leader Gion] Now! No more small talk. I'll let you know what the target is for the Test of Battle.

• [Leader Gion] The target is a monster called the ^FF0000Clan Secret^000000.

• [Leader Gion] You will have to be careful because there are many similiar shaped and named monsters in test site.

• [Leader Gion] And if you are lucky, there will be others targeting the monster.
