Synopsis

Airen solidifies his dominance in the gladiatorial arena, quickly rising to the level of Queen by defeating all opponents with a single blow. While training in a mental space created by his own will, he hones his senses and is then approached by an older individual who acknowledges Airen's strength and his weakness – a lack of irregular movements. The older individual, Hill Burnette, begins teaching Airen techniques described as 'ploys', significantly enhancing his abilities in only ten days.
