About

Cassian was once a mere commoner. Ignored by the nobility, he spent his days self-teaching swordsmanship in solitude. One day, he happened to witness a public sparring match of the Imperial Knights. Watching the swordsmanship of knights whose skills were incomparable to his own, Cassian began to swing his sword even more obsessively from that day forward. He had no one to teach him and no way to obtain a decent blade, but he never gave up. After years of honing his skills, Cassian finally passed the Imperial Knight examination—an unprecedented feat for a commoner. From his very first day, he began to make a name for himself, displaying skills that astonished even the veteran knights. Eventually, by the order of the Emperor who had kept a close eye on his prowess, Cassian was officially appointed to the Imperial Knights. Through countless battles and rigorous training, he rose to the position of Knight Commander at the age of twenty-six. Then one day, the Emperor gave Cassian a single command. "You shall take charge of the Crown Prince's swordsmanship education." Cassian accepted, but he did not yet know. He did not know that the disciple he was about to take on was the most famous troublemaker in the Empire.
