Start from the beginning
                                    

============

Before the break of dawn, Ryuu was woken up by Shinobu to start his training. Normally, he would feel sluggish from the lack of sleep if his preview changes.

In terms of strength and endurance then his not far from the Hashira with only difference was their combat skills and technique.

He is able to maintain his stamina by constantly using the breathing technique in order to reach the Constant state. It was rather progressive thanks to the [ Gamer's Body ] leveling the technique the more he used it.

Ryuu frowned as he still hadn't eaten breakfast but knew it would be part of training and discipline. He yawned while following Shinobu into the mountains to train.

They soon arrive in an open space where there were sword slashes in the trees and stones showing it was a place often used to train.

He observed the slashes and found that they were coordinated and that every mark had a specific way. Ryuu is a natural in using his basic instinct to determine things but it is still far from perfect.

"This place was previously used by Kanao-chan. We'll be using this for the time while she is away for training." Shinobu explained.

"Alright, is there anything I need to do before starting?"

Ryuu gave a wide grin, excited to learn how to properly utilize the breathing technique and form his own style.

"We'll start by removing your clothes."

A moment of silence sang through the forest before Ryuu confused and warily smiled.

"Ah...What?"

"Remove your clothes so I can examine them."

Shinobu bluntly said. Ryuu forgot that she was a physician and understood the human body but he is reluctant to get naked in front of a beautiful woman like her.

He took a deep breath to calm himself before nodding. Ryuu tried to control his blood to avoid arousing himself.

"Hold on."

Ryuu slowly removes his clothes leaving only the lower part. He revealed his toned body, giving the spotlight to the individual muscular. It was then his body shiver when Shinobu went closer unreluctantly touching his body making him blush a bit.

He may be able to control his emotions, but that does not mean he was perfect. Ryuu could feel his small delicate hands yet had rough texture in them from her training with the blade.

"You're body seems much denser compared to a normal human nearly several times compared to Mitsuri-chan."

Shinobu commented showing how powerful his body is considering Mitsuri muscles are extremely dense despite her small frame. Adding her flexible body makes her a formidable opponent.

"It's probably from the Cleansing pill that I've used."

Ryuu recalled the pill that he used which rather than eating made it into a medical bath. The reason for it is due his body wouldn't be able to be taken by swallowing it considering he lives on Earth and not some Wuxia world where normal people are much stronger.

"A cleansing pill?" She recalled having mentioned it before.

"That's right, it's a pill that cleanses the body removing its impurities while improving the quality of the body. I'll check if the chat group has them and give you some to share with the others."

Ryuu's reason for not eating one yet is he needed time to train his first after being exposed to the Cleansing pills. He doesn't understand the in and out but knew it would be bad for his health.

It sounds illogical thinking you consumed or use pills constantly after using them but wouldn't it be more logical that it is doing more harm than good?

For example, eating vitamins is healthy and nourishes the body but it is also dangerous if you intake a large quantity in a short period of time.

"Your body already seems to surpass a normal human and could easily contend with a lower moon. The only thing you lack is proper training and a regimen to follow. Though you seem to know a bit about handling weapons. " Shinobu said, noticing his stance and other subtle details.

"Then what will I do? I know a bit of Eskrima." Ryuu said.

“Eskrima?” It was the first time that Shinobu heard that word.

“A martial art that originated from our country it uses dual sticks, knives, daggers, empty hands, etc.” Ryuu explained and Shinobu nodded.

"Well, anyway, my Insect Breathing style primarily mimics poisonous insects therefore only know striking techniques. You don't have formal training in swordsmanship, correct?"

Ryuu may have acquired knowledge on how to use a sword did not mean he was an expert at it. There's a big difference from doing to knowing.

"I know how to wield a blade but it's hardly called 'A swordsmanship'." Ryuu wasn't as good compared to Justine who've been training with her siblings.

"Then how about we spar for now and see how you do? It would help me find any flaws you may have."

Ryuu nodded, taking a distance from her as they stood several meters away and immediately started to touch weapons, preparing themselves with his hands crossed to easily wield the blade.

His gaze was fixed into her taking a deep breathing using the Total Concentration Breathing to increase his strength and instantly both unsheathed their blade.
