Storyline[]
Sensei praises Shadow for his victory. Then, he tells the group about his disciple who left to try the new schools in "the next town". He says that the town (where Hermit's school is) is known for its fighting academies, and the group travels there.
However, when they reach the town, Sensei finds out that the town in ruins and is distressed. He is shocked to find only one fighting school there. May suggests that they ask someone about what happened and points out to a young man present nearby. Sensei asks him about the situation of the town. The young man, introduced as Dragon, informs them about a competition held by Hermit, an old tutor.
Shadow fights Dragon to enter the competition and wins. He reveals his malevolent intentions and his reason for training under Hermit. When Dragon is defeated, he is humbled and seems to give up on his plans.
Shadow competes in the tournament, and May introduces Shadow to Challenges after he wins six tournament fights. Shadow now participates in both events regularly, to accumulate funds to purchase devastating equipment and weaponry.
Shadow defeats more of Hermit's disciples, all the while learning more about Hermit, his school, his teachings and the disciples themselves, who are warriors with the same intentions: to seize Hermit's Magic. There is one exception however, Mantis; a talented warrior who believes magic has no place in martial arts and aims to destroy it. He also encounters Hawk, who gives up his Naginata if Shadow can defeat him in combat.
Shadow encounters Sly, a shady character who offers to sell him the secret to Hermit's power. Regardless of whether or not Shadow buys the "secret", he will find out that Hermit uses arcane battle magic that is even more powerful than that of the much greater demons.
After defeating Tiger, Hermit's fourth bodyguard, Shadow finally meets Crane, Hermit's disciple. Sensei is shattered to find out what Crane has done. When Shadow beats Crane in a fight, he comes to his senses and apologizes to Sensei.
At last, Shadow meets Hermit. Hermit invites Shadow to a battle to see if he is adept enough to please him. During the fight, Hermit holds back initially. But when Shadow shows his talents, Hermit immediately steps up his game, using extremely advanced techniques. Hermit introduces his legendary magic, firing electric bolts and water blasts. He also unleashes his own self-controlled thunderstorm which makes lightning zap the ground.
Shadow, however, defeats Hermit. Hermit is impressed, and negotiates with Shadow. He asks Shadow to visit the next town and battle a band of outlaws there, and eliminate their leader, who is none other than the murderer Butcher. He states that Butcher is after Hermit, to discover the secret to his combat prowess. Hermit offers Shadow battle magic if he succeeds.
