Part 1

A highschool student, Ryoma Akatsuki, loses a bet and is forced to participate in the town's annual kendo tournament. Having never practiced before in his life, he makes a desperate attempt to call for a divine intervention. He prays to the family's guardian deity, the Goddess Amaterasu, to teach him the Way of the Swords. The Goddess heeds his plea and aids him in a very peculiar way.
