You breath in.
You stand in the training ground, holding Ryūkihei in front of you in both hands as you do. It seems your sword knows what you’re about to do, and is waiting with bated breath for this moment just like you.
He’d never told you anything about himself other than his name, and yet you felt like you already knew in your soul exactly what you needed to say to reveal his true form, the weapon that you had literally been born to wield.
You breathe out.
“Shock, Ryūkihei.”
https://youtube.com/watch?v=k0iHYwj2qOUInstantly, your reiryoku spiked, to a level you’d never felt before, far higher than even the maximum you hid from everyone but yourself. You try to contain it, struggling against the force of your own reiatsu. For just a moment, the full force of it leaked out, before you were able to crush it back down to the normal level you suppressed yourself to, in a moment of extreme effort.
You pant, sweating from the exertion just getting a handle on your power had taken. You look down at the weapon in your hands, to see it was no longer a sword at all - it was a simple polearm, 2 metres long, with at its end both an axe-head and on top of that a spear-head. You didn’t know it at the time, but it was a weapon those in the human world called a halberd.
You then look around, seeing what you’d done. The grass around you was scorched, almost fried from the instant your power had been out of control, and as you look around, you can feel your body crackling and thrumming with a new power.
You close your eyes to think, but when you open them, you find yourself in your inner world, Ryūkihei staring at you. “You finally did it, huh…” He muttered, before yawning. “Took you long enough.”
Wasting no time, aware that some people might have felt your energy spike, you pressed on, asking questions. “What do you do? Will you tell me now?”
Ryūkihei groans, sinking down into that strange rocking chair as the fire crackled in the background. “Fine.”
