In recognition of your service to the Shogunate, and to your brothers and sisters within our ranks, I hereby grant you the rank of 白虎 (Byakko). You have proven to be as excellent of a fighter as you are of a samurai. Bushido is not only about the art of combat. We don't charge blindly and we fight with honor, where it allows. Sometimes your hand is forced, and sometimes you have a choice. You've shown that you can tell the difference, and that you can be decisive. As a perk that comes with your new title, you have been granted access codes to our Hachiman-class gunboats and all the equipment we have for them. I understand you do not prefer large scale combat, but please use it well.
