A middle-aged, humble swordsmanship instructor, Beryl Gardenant, runs a dojo in a rural village. The days when he aspired to reach the peak as a swordsman are long past, and he has come to terms with his abilities, now living a quiet, relaxed life. One day, after ten years, one of his former students, Alyucia, who has risen to the position of captain of the kingdom’s knights, pays him a visit.
"I’ve recommended you as a special instructor attached to the knights, and it has been officially approved."
Beryl, who had resigned himself to quietly living out his life in the countryside, finds his fate drastically changing!
City life. Reuniting with former students who have greatly grown. Meeting new companions and powerful enemies.
"I’m just an old man past his prime; this is too much for me..." Beryl thinks, but his sword skills, honed with years of dedication, have reached such a level that he is now known as the "Sword Saint of the Countryside"!
