Just my personal opinion. I won't stop you guys from choosing which name for our Soul Gear, but I honestly believe that Shakuyaku isn't actually a good name for a sword. I know you guys want our character to be badass manly man who does manly things, but there are things that I need you guys to reconsider. There may exist contradictions that will disrupt the flow of this quest.
Still, if you still want this name, go for it. I'll manage something if something like that happens. I just want you to keep what I said in mind.

Alright, I'll say this, and will say this again if necessary; random zaniness is not my thing. And I won't work on it anytime soon.
You see, I am very upset with your comment. Very, very upset. It feels like the way I handle this quest is not good. I know that you probably didn't mean that, but will you please be mindful in the future? If you keep comparing this quest with that RoA of yours, I don't know if I will happen to me in the future. This is the way I handle this quest, and you have to deal with it. If you have some complaints, just tell me, but please, please, PLEASE don't do this sort of thing again (like mentioning this RoA of yours). The way things are happening in this quest is stressful enough.
And I'm sorry for this, good sirs and madams. I wish for a quest that everyone can enjoy, so I'd like to make this quest enjoyable for me as well.
On another note, vote will be closed pretty soon. Please continue voting.

Look I am sorry. Honestly. I am just frustrated/irritated.
After 8-9 hours. You tell us now that you don't think the name fits. And then say that it would have some some complications In Quest. It's like spitting on people that bothered searching for an appropriate name.
I just don't know what you want. You gave us a choice for naming our weapon and then say there's complications for that?
It's like naming your ship boat and then the game suddenly makes it difficult for you.

It is just my opinion. In case if that's what you guys really want, I'll make it work.
I have no problem with the names you guys have suggested. I just said that they probably don't really fit with everything with what we have presented so far with our character, with me just pointing the fact out. Well, it's my task as QM to make it fit.
I apologize if my words were so confusing. I did not mean to insult those who bothered to search for the names.

Great. Now I feel worse.
And really. Sorry for complaining to you like that Arjuna. I really feel like crap now for doing that.
Not how I view it. Those choices were how we decided to grieve for her and remember her
I think his main problem was that you took hours getting around to actually pointing out its a bit of a thing even if you could make it work. And honestly, I agree. If you were asleep that would be one thing, but you responded to others during that time and didn't even make a peep about the name.
Edit:
... Or not?

Aye, I figured out that would be the case, so I apologize for my lack of foresight.
Still, the name has been decided, and I figured that the current name is good enough. Actually, in case if Shakuyaku is chosen, if paired with Kurogane, it still can work. Shakuyaku Kurogane. Don't you think so?
Once again, I'm really sorry for my carelessness.

Dammit, toon late. Also, at eight syllabes "Shiragiku Kurogane" is quite the mouthful (白菊黒金 or 白菊鉄) and translates to something like White Chrisanthemum Black Iron. If you were looking for Iron Chrisanthemum, it would be Tetsugiku(鉄菊) or maybe Kuroganegiku(黒金菊) for Black Iron Chrisanthemum.

Is that so? Well, I'd like to put Kurogane to represent the black iron of the sword, and Shiragiku to represent people's choice. It should be alright, right?

Yeah, much like English, Japanese is an adjective-noun language.

Alright, I'll name it Shiragiku only. There will be time when it can be upgraded, so its name can change too.

Well, it's actually quite complicated. Commonly, one person can only have one Soul Gear, but there are special cases where someone can get more than one. I'd like to tell more, but such info can wait.

[x] Shiragiku
"Shiragiku..." You say the name of the sword in your hand. As if reacting to its name being evoked by you, the miasma-like mist surrounding the blade dissipates, and you can feel the sword letting out a soft hum. You quirk one eyebrow. You know that your Soul Gear is made of your soul, but you cannot help but wonder if the sword is sentient.
"A katana, huh? Well, considering that you are a Bushido, that has to be expected..." Principal Shoichiro comments, taking a good look on your Soul Gear. "Shiragiku, you say? Quite an ironic name, if you ask me."
"Ironic?" You look at the Principal.
"Your Soul Gear seems to be named after Shiragiku, or White Chrysanthemum. Well, as we can see, there's nothing white about your sword. Still, the name is purely symbolic. There will be time when your Soul Gear is upgraded, and the name changes. It depends on how you use your Soul Gear, though."
[Upgraded Soul Gear]
(Your Soul Gear can be upgraded via Soul Points. There will be time when your Soul Gear changes form and becomes more advanced. Its name will also change to represent the upgrade.)
"Also, by manifesting your Soul Gear, you will be able to use Soul Art. While you may not know about it now, you'll be able to execute it perfectly in combat situations. After all, the usage of a Soul Gear is instinctual," Principal Shoichiro explains. "So, there you have it, boy. You finally got yourself a proper Soul Gear."
[Soul Gear obtained: Shiragiku]
Weight: 1.2kg
Length: 72cm
Color: Black
Characteristic: Constantly exuding miasma-like purple mist from its blade. Occasionally lets out hum-like sounds. Is probably sentient.
OOOOOO (fill one O with a Soul Point to upgrade. If all Os are filled, the sword's form can change)
"Now then..." Principal Shoichiro says. "Now that you have your own Soul Gear, why don't we do some test run? We need to do it at the Arena. Shirley, Koharu, both of you should follow too..."
"Very well, grandpa..." Koharu nods.
"Yes sir!" Shirley says.
So, together with the others, you head to the Arena, which isn't too far from the Office. When you arrive, you note that the Arena is a very huge place. It is a place where Magic Knights can duel each other non-lethally. You once heard that the Arena is equipped with some sort of wards that prevents the duelists from fatally injuring each other while dueling. So, the duelists won't have to worry about accidentally killing their opponents while in the arena thanks to the wards.
"Now, Kazuto boy, in order to test your Soul Gear and combat skills, you can choose to fight either Koharu or Shirley," Principal Shoichiro says. He's about to say more when Koharu approaches him, tugging on his sleeve.
"What is it, Koharu?" He asks his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm up for a duel today..." Koharu says, lowering her head a bit.
"Ah..." As if realizing something, Principal Shoichiro clears his throat. "D-don't tell me..."
"P-please... not in front of Kazuto..." Koharu begs.
"Ah, I see..." Principal Shoichiro seems to be thinking for a while before he looks at you.
"Kazuto, I apologize, but due to some reasons, Koharu is unable to have a duel today. So, you're going to fight Shirley instead," Principal Shoichiro says to you.
"W-well, is that so?" You say, glancing at Koharu. You see that she's feeling a little uncomfortable. Perhaps she's a little sick today?
"Well, I suppose I shall be your opponent for the time being, Kazuto..." Shirley says as she walks into the arena. "Come on, we shall begin the duel. Take out your Soul Gear," she instructs you. She holds out her right hand and summons her Soul Gear, Fleeting Hyacinth, a buckler shield.
"I'm ready." Then, she holds out her left hand, and a short sword appears.
"Wait, you have two Soul Gears?" You ask as you look at the short sword that she holds in her left hand.
"Ah, don't worry. This is not a Soul Gear," Shirley informs. "It is just a simple spirit blade to complement my Soul Gear. As you can see, my Soul Gear is a buckler shield, which is not really that good to bash your enemies with, so I still need a sword to fight."
"Oh, okay..." You say, nodding. You summon your Soul Gear, Shiragiku and holds its hilt with both hands. Assuming a standard kenjutsu stance, you stands a few meters away from Shirley. "Alright, I'm ready."
"Alright, let's get started."
-Victory: Reduce the enemy's HP down to 10% of her full health.
-Defeat: Defeated by the enemy, HP reduced to zero.
Shirley assumes a fighting stance as she looks at you with determined eyes. She is armed with a short sword and a buckler shield. And she seems to be studying your movement. Considering that Shirley is also a Magic Knight, she is not an opponent who should be underestimated. You have learned long ago that underestimating one's enemy is the quickest way to get oneself killed during a battle.
While this may just be a test, you know that this is a challenge that you need to overcome. Steeling your resolve, you decide to...
[] Attack
-[] Use Gust
-[] Use Obscure
-[] Just attack
[] Magic
-[] Solidify Shadows (2 charges left)
[] Soul Art (2 charges left)
-[] Phantom Slash
[] Defend
Current HP: 250/250
---
Choose one! If you choose Attack, please pick whether you wish to use Gust or Obscure, or use no distraction spell at all. Your choice will decide the general direction of your actions before the next turn. If you guys choose Attack, he will be inclined to attack more than defending, and vice versa. Also, even if you choose to use magic, he may still use normal attacks as part of his combo, or something like that.
At first, I thought I want to make you guys choose whether to fight Shirley or Koharu, but there's something wrong with her sprite, so I'll just use Shirley for the time being. Also, there's a reason why she doesn't want to fight here, a reason that will be revealed pretty soon.

--[X] Try to mirror your attacks with the shadows so that she is being constantly assaulted with two or three blades at completely different angles
---[X] Block with the shadow blades when necessary, leaving your actual gear free to attack and counter
My reasoning is that she is a sword and board user. If we can attack her from multiple directions, we can put her down quickly and with less risk than normal thanks to her more defensive mindset. If we try attacking or distracting and attacking though, she can just hold us off and beat us when we are tired.
