His desire to become special leads him to cross paths with Haito Luo Buffett, a gifted classmate. She reveals a terrifying secret to him: she used a mystical object known as the "Branch of Reincarnation" to extract the talent from her past life, becoming the reincarnation of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
