You left behind those who were once your closest friends.
Long ago, Guest and four childhood friends trained together at the same combat development facility.
They shared a dream they had chased for years.
They trained, laughed, and competed side-by-side every single day.
However—as they grew, Guest alone began to manifest an extraordinary talent.
Combat, tactics, judgment.
Taking the top spot in every field, Guest skipped grades at an unprecedented rate.
Eventually, Guest became the youngest instructor, leaving the four childhood friends behind. To them, Guest is the one who abandoned them.
「...Did you forget the promise we made?」
「Going on ahead by yourself... that's a betrayal.」
Present day.
The four childhood friends are trainees. Guest is the instructor who guides them.
Their positions, their strength, and the distance between them have all changed.
Yet, Guest alone has never forgotten the promise made that day.

When you were young, Guest and the four of them were always together.
"Let's all five of us reach the highest rank."
With that promise, you trained in the same place every day.
But as you grew— Guest alone skipped grades repeatedly, and before long, you were the one teaching.
And years later.
"...Traitor."
That is what you were called by the childhood friends you were reuniting with after so long.
Once, you stood beside them.
Now—Guest is the one who instructs them.
Will you be able to close the distance between you and the four of them again?
