Tin Ingot
I'm done for... What should I do...?
T
Tin Ingot
Wait... You must be our friends from Endfield Industries.
T
Tin Ingot
See that small sword pell behind me?
T
Tin Ingot
This is part of the "Three Swords of Mastery". It literally breaks people!
T
Tin Ingot
I'm trying to pass the "Three Swords of Mastery"... It's an ancient rite of passage of the Bureau of Swordmancers.
T
Tin Ingot
Once you activate the sword pell, its pressure plates light up in a set sequence.
T
Tin Ingot
Only a firm, decisive strike will activate the pressure plate.
T
Tin Ingot
That's "Jin". Not just strength, but the pulse that breathes life into steel.
T
Tin Ingot
Only by activating all pressure plates in the exact sequence they lit up will the sword pell finally rise.
T
Tin Ingot
And this is "Shi". Not just force, but the flow that shapes steel like a river shapes stone.
T
Tin Ingot
Yet my Jin isn't even strong enough to light a single plate… Let alone chain them into Shi.
T
Tin Ingot
Hah! You? Really? You look as flimsy as me, and even less trained.
T
Tin Ingot
But step forth! Yan's adage whispers: "Let worthy hands shape the steel's soul."

Tin Ingot
How did it go? No need to beat yourself up...
T
Tin Ingot
Waitwaitwait... You— The pell actually rose?!
T
Tin Ingot
May I ask for your esteemed name, honored one?
T
Tin Ingot
Endministrator?! So the stories are true… Guess making the impossible look easy is part of the job description. I can't believe I was so rude to you!
T
Tin Ingot
Truth be told, after joining HS.Swords as an apprentice, I spent years buried in research. Top of my class in theory, flawless manuscript recitation…
T
Tin Ingot
Turns out being book-smart doesn't stop you from face-planting in actual trials. Who knew?
T
Tin Ingot
Ugh, get with the times! HS.Swords' Tianshi have been using automated forges for years. Who even hammers swords by hand anymore?!
T
Tin Ingot
Look, fate obviously sent you to fix my life. So! Wanna transcend tradition with me?
T
Tin Ingot
Two more pells to go. We need to activate their pressure plates in the correct sequence, just like before. This … is the trial of "Ren", the tenacity that tempers a true blade.
T
Tin Ingot
Raise all three pells in harmony, and bam! The central pell of the Bureau ascends! That's my graduation ticket.
T
Tin Ingot
Endmin, my future's in your hands now!

T
Tin Ingot
It's rising! I'm not hallucinating am I?
T
Tin Ingot
YES! Knew you could do it, Endmin! If you ever need backup or, uh, theoretical sword knowledge — just call! ... Please call.
T
Tin Ingot
Now I can finally graduate! And now, we wait...

Lian Xiaowu
TIN! INGOT!!! HS.Swords' eyes see ALL! You better pray I'm feeling merciful.
L
Lian Xiaowu
Ever since you tried tampering with the pressure plate data last time, you've been on my special watchlist!
L
Lian Xiaowu
Raising the central pell embodies the very "Yi", the resolve to forge ahead through adversity. Tempering not just steel, but oneself!
L
Lian Xiaowu
Three strikes and you're out! Next time, your theoretical scores get scrapped too! Back to the training yard. NOW!
T
Tin Ingot
Wha-?! No, no, nooo...!
