The Bamboo Season

竹の季

South of Block Mountain, along the main traveler’s path, lies a court known for its quiet determination — The Bamboo Season. Warriors come here to train when the air is heavy with heat and the ground warms beneath their feet.

The court sits open among tall stalks that shift with every shot. Each movement is mirrored in the game — the bend before the rise, the pause before release. Warriors spend days here working on form, footwork, and patience. The bamboo teaches balance: to bend without breaking, to move with the game, to return stronger after every miss.

There is no king of this court — only the lesson that the game, like the bamboo, rewards those who move with balance. Those who leave this grove take its lessons with them, their game taller, calmer, and quietly refined by the season’s touch.
