7 Chapter 7 : Training
On a cliff, Raigo was on the ground doing push-ups with his body covered in sweat.
His heart rate was at maximum, he was out of breath and his whole face turned red, he was still clenching his teeth and doing every push-up with willpower.
But the most impressive thing about his posture was that he had a rock about a meter high on his back.
And if a master of nen looked at Raigo this moment with the Gyô, he would see that his body was surrounded by a thin layer of aura.
His training was based on the fragments of memories he had of HXH, especially his memories of Shingen-ryu kung fu and Biscuit's training.
"548...549..550!"
No longer feeling his arms, Raigo stood up and threw the stone before falling to the ground with a tired expression.
He clenches his fists with a slight smile, then focuses his aura on her for a moment before sighing in admiration :
"The bodies of the people of this world really do have more potential than that of a ninja."
It reminded him of the image of a child like Killua glibly opening a door weighing several tons, and thinking about it, it sent shivers down his spine.
He rested for a few minutes, then slowly got up and went to his tent.
He went inside and sat down on his sleeping bag before taking an open can whose contents were half eaten.
"I'm tired of canned food."
He ate the rest of the canned food before taking a few sips of water.
He looked at the rest of his provisions, shaking his head before lying down on the sleeping bag.
"I have enough provisions left for another week, it's already three weeks that I've been in this forest, it's time to recover this damn flower and to continue my training elsewhere."
It had already been nineteen days since he had set up camp on the top of the rock face he had climbed.
It was the calmest place that he had found so far, thanks to the humidity in the air he could recover water by installing a system of recovery of the morning dew, he also had enough food and no wild beast came to disturb him at this altitude.
So he could sleep without fear of being attacked, he spent the last few days training in Ren au Gyô and Shu.
He trained for more than 16 hours in basic Taijustu in Ten state, then, remembering the training Biscuit had given to Gon and Killua, he stayed and trained in Ren every day, thanks to which his state of Ren was extended by two minutes.
This training also allowed Raigo to understand his level of nen mastery.
He then estimated recalling Knuckle's explanations on aura quantification, Raigo estimated that his Maximum Aura Power, MAP should be about 9,500 aura units.
It was a somewhat hazardous estimate, but he thinks it should be at this level, for example, in the Chimera Ants arc, gon on his normal state has around 22,000, youpi has around 700,000, and Morel 70,000.
He still couldn't use the Gyô perfectly, but he still tried to maintain his Gyô for at least two minutes every hour, trying to turn this gesture into a reflex.
For his Shu training, he practiced Rock Breaking training, this training was a type training for an Enhancer.
The studen enhances a stone's durability using Shu and Ko to repeatedly smash other rocks without breaking the one they are holding,
Raigo who hadn't yet mastered the Ko, was just content to use the shu, this training greatly improved his aura control, making Raigo understand the importance of a good teacher.
Bicuit set strict standards for his students, they had to break 1000 stones without breaking the stone in their hands, but Raigo could only break 254 stones without breaking the stone in his hands, but the more he practiced the better that number got.
He also noticed that he really had a talent for strengthening objects.
His understanding of Ten and Ren also improved a lot, he could stay in Ren condition for about 1 hour 42 minutes, according to his memories a professional hunter should be able to stay in Ren condition for 3 hours!
Thinking that he had to train several hours a day for months in order to even improve his Ren by ten minutes, he felt his whole body suffer thinking about his future training.
He also wanted to learn the other advanced techniques of nen but he quickly abandoned this idea because he knew better than anyone else, as a ninja specializing in taijustu, that the basics were the most important thing no matter what the specialization.
The basic principle that he masters the most at present is Zetsu.
Have you ever seen a ninja who hadn't learned infiltration and concealment? If so, what an unworthy ninja he was.
The next day, Raigo woke up at about ten o'clock according to his estimate based on the position of the sun in the sky.
He began to dismantle the tent and bed in his backpack, packed his things and collected the water in his dew collecting system.
He sat down on a stone eating half a tin can with an unpleasant expression and then continued his climb up the mountain.
He climbed faster than last time while paying attention to every hold he was holding on to.
"Oxygen has started to thin, but the upside is that the fog is diminishing."
He looked down and couldn't even see his old camp anymore.
He continued his ascent for more than three hours and felt that his breathing rhythm was disturbed.
"I must have reached the 2,500-meter mark, I'm not far from the goal."
But suddenly he heard several high-pitched screams and saw blurred shadows flying above him through the fog.
He continued his ascent for more than three hours and felt that his breathing rhythm was disturbed.
"I must have reached the 2,500-meter mark, I'm not far from the goal."
He took a deep breath and held on to the next hold but suddenly he heard several high-pitched screams.
*Croa* *Croa*
He raised his head and saw blurry shadows flying above him through the fog.
