27 Aspect

If someone could make his way or peer into the Dangai, they would come to see an interesting if not unbelievable event.

A young man around fifteen years old, with brown hair and amber eyes, could be seen, repeating a series of actions.

He would first throw a thousand punches from each hand, take a while to sit down and meditate, before doing the same with kicks. Then a mysterious cube floating beside him would transform into a sword, and he would swing it a thousand times as well before meditating again... then Spear, then a saber, then a dagger, then a mace, then a bow, then a gun, and so on and so on.

He would do the same motion a thousand times, then meditate and continue, till he comes back to punches against, forming a complete circle.

Seeing him in action one would wonder if he wanted to be an expert in all trades and styles of weapons.

Though the answer would be a little unexpected since the boy didn't just want to be an expert but a master of all.

"It should have been around a week in Dangai time already." He spoke as he opened his eyes from meditation, but he didn't stop and moved as if instinctively as if it was the most natural of things.

He had been repeating this same cycle everyday single day, from morning to sunset... well not really since none of that could be perceived in the Dangai, he was just keeping track of the passing hours.

"I just can not stop..." He said as he kept his pace, this time he welded double swords, and went on repeating the same thousands of swings.

Why did he want to master all those weapons? Why did he want to do all of that? It was because of this feeling...

This feeling that he once lost but was coming back to him, the feeling of continuously improving and the joy and excitation that it bring.

While many may not know, Shin was someone who liked to test himself and continuously grow stronger, it was just that, he couldn't freely act upon it till recently.

No matter how much potential a normal human, Shinigami or Quincy possessed, they would come to face a point where it would be impossible to advance any further... but he was different.

Since his birth he was already destined for greatness, having the blood of a Quincy and Shinigami flowing through his vain, his potential was way higher than most, his starting point was where some's ended, but even then he still had his limits.

To that was added the bloodline of the Hanma, a family of gifted individuals, who with merely the body of a human could accomplish feats that would leave one in denial of reality, a potential so great that some say that they were restricted by the law of their world.

With just that his potential became even higher, rivaling that of even his brother, he dared say. That same bloodline came with its perks, one of which was the love of fighting and martial art, but he has been able to suppress it whenever he needed it with the help of a skill he obtained from the system. "Cold Blooded."

A skill that would allow him to always act logically as long as he wanted to and also protect the mind of its user.

But even with all of this, Shin came to realize something, while he could get stronger without a problem, he still had his limit in the technical department.

Yes, he could always get stronger, faster, more durable and all but what he could without depending on those overwhelming stats of his was limited.

At some point, his techniques just stopped improving, his punching, kicking, swordsmanship, spearsmanship fighting, bowsmanship, none was improving anymore.

He for sure was an expert in those arts, a master even if you want, depending on this world's standard. But that was all there was to it.

Even though he knew that was not nearly the end of the path in those different domains, he couldn't go any further due to his innate limitation... or more like the limitation forced upon him by this world.

He knew, there were being out there, that could cut mountains with just their understanding of the swords, no overwhelming power, no absurd use of energy but purely swordsmanship, they could let behind anything known as "common sense" and transcend into another level of their crafts.

Those were the level he wanted to reach and exceed which now became possible. Now he had the key element that would allow him to do just that.

What was it? His nature, his new nature, and his aspect as a being of miracle, somehow diminished the restriction put upon him by the world.

His potential soared, he could feel way before coming here, but right now he got the confirmation.

It was all about feeling and result, with every punch he threw he was improving, and every time he meditated, he could visualize it, the flawless way to punch, to cut, to pierce, to shoot.

And the feeling of getting closer to this image after each and every repetition and a complete circle was too damn fun and addictive.

He just couldn't stop, he was like a perpetual motion machine, undistracted from any other thought, completely submerged in this feeling of euphoria.

Although Shin didn't realize it, this training wasn't just making him improve in the technical aspect, it was also making him discover more about himself, his three nature, his passion, and his goals... little by little, entering a state of trance everything was coming to him even the way to make the best use of his already existing abilities and improve them was coming to him naturally.

The benefice given to him by the change in his nature due to him consuming the essence of miraculous aspect, at this point more than ever was revealed.

His movements, his breathing, his thinking, his existence itself seemed like a cinematic masterpiece impossible to look away at, he was the protagonist, he was the masterpiece, he is the miracle.

And as time passed, Kurosaki Shin, dyed the entire Dangai with his color... and it was of an intense Amber light.

...

Okay, this chapter is really short, but to be honest I didn't plan to write anything today, just watch the World Cup Final match and rest for the day... But I couldn't keep myself from writing.

I wanted to write, no I needed to write, so I did, but since I felt like stopping here would be fine, I decided to do just that.

See ya tomorrow for a more complete chapter then.
