But since a new dojo has settled at the foot of the "Mountain of the Sleeping Dragon", strange things have happened. Dark figures lie in wait for the residents of the town to lure them into Kokuju-Dōjō. Its master Kokuju has succeeded in bringing the three sacred tools of battle under his control. But the sword refuses to serve Master Kokuju. Therefore, Kokuju registers as Tamara Kokui at Juline's school in order to gain her trust and find out how he can make the sword submissive.

But Juline and her friends are suspicious and, together with Juline's good friend Kio, break into the Kokuju-Dōjō at night. When Kokuju discovers the friends, they run head over heels. Juline, Byakuya, Seika and Kio have to understand that they have nothing to oppose Kokuuu's uncanny powers and decide to train even harder in the future.
