5 Training (2)

Muichiro and Kaito were sitting in a river in the forest, Muichiro looked to the site and saw a waterfall. The water was crystal clear, it reflected the blue sky above perfectly.

Kaito poured himself some tea and said, "It's your 4th week of training, short one. After seeing how hard you worked I am now confident you will be able to take the final selection in 2 months. You are one of the VERY rare people who have accomplished this. But that's for the future, this week we will improve your senses."

Muichiro said, "What about after that?" "Glad you asked, after this week we will spend the next month fixing a few smaller things. But let's focus on the now. There are 5 basic senses, smell, taste, hearing, sight, and touch, obviously. There are some slayers who have a certain sense that is naturally heightened. There was a water Hashira who had a keen sense of smell. And there is a sound Hashira who has a keen sense of earing. But I will train you differently, we'll be honing ALL of your senses."

He put his tea down and stood up, Muichiro flowed his lead and did the same. Kaito gave Muichiro a wooden sword and a blindfold, "I will attack you while you are blindfolded and you use your hearing and listen out for my movements and maybe even my attacks." said Kaito.

Muichiro put the blindfold on and held his sword, he put his head slightly down and listened closely. The waterfall didn't make it any easier either. He heard taping on the ground next to him and release d slashes. He thought they would hit but then he felt something hit his side hard.

"Pretty good for your first go, again!" shouted Kaito. Muichiro groaned and they continue that training for the entire day. Muichiro was able to adapt quickly and was able to hold his own against Kaito for a long time by the end of the day.

The Next Day

Muichiro and Kaito were in a part of the forest covered in flowers, Muichiro saw many different types of flowers. He wished he had a phone to take a picture, it was honestly very pretty.

"Today we'll work on your sense of smell. Every different flower here has different sent, I have on something that releases a very faint smell that is different from all of these flowers. You'll be blocked you're sight and hearing now." said Kaito.

Muichiro put on the blindfold and earmuffs. He couldn't even hear now, the quiet was so loud for him. He felt something touch his head and nodded, the thing moved away and he took a stance. Muichiro was just barely able to focus on a smell that he remembered from when they walked her.

It suddenly intensified and he slashed 3 times, he was pleasantly surprised when he felt the 3rd one connect. Kaito moved the earmuffs and said, "Good job, kid. On your first try as well, good job. Let's continue."

Muichiro nodded and he put the earmuffs back.

The Next Day

Muichiro and Kaito sat in his house. Muichiro had a stunned face then he said, "Are we going to improve taste, old man? In what situation will I need taste?"

"Hey! I said ALL didn't I, stop complaining. With your talent this will only take a day." said Kaito putting MANY spices on the table. Muichiro sighed, he know what the old man was doing. He wanted to use this as an excuse to make Muichiro take a break.

For the rest of the week, they honed all on Muichiro's senses. Muichiro was mad at the old man, he didn't allow him to train much that week. Even though he was mad he was kind of relieved. Although he wanted to train VERY intensely, which he was, but he was still happy to take a litter break.

After that month, like Kaito said they did normal training. But, Muichiro did it all on his own. He also didn't sleep that much, he only stopped when he would collapse. Kaito watched him and he didn't correct Muichiro, more so he didn't need to. Muichiro would correct his mistakes on his own.

Muichiro mastered all forms of mist breath and uses Concentration Breathing: Constant all the time. Even when he sleeps, baths, everywhere at all hours of the day.

His senses were honed to a point where Kaito couldn't even speak up on him anymore.

Currently, Muichiro and Kaito were in his house, in front of them was a LOT of food. Muichiro was eating very fast, he ate during his time training but not that much. Kaito said, "Well short one, this might be our last meal together. Tomorrow you will go for the final selection and officially become a slayer. After that, I will be leaving."

Muichiro stopped eating and looked at the old man and said, "Where will you be going?" "I forgot that you know almost nothing about me, huh. Well, I'll be going back to my wife to spend the last 5 years of my life with her."
