Chapter 09: Unhinged

[You have obtained a SGC Branded Training Room].

[System Gacha Company]

- '....' - His mouth opened as if he wanted to speak but in the end he said nothing.

- '.. You know I'd better not ask' - I decided it would be better not to worry about these things - 'How does it work? Is it like the time chamber from DBZ?' -

[No, it's not like that one]

I figured it sure would be hard even for Sakura.

[It's much better than that one]

Getting a...

- 'How much?' - Honestly this was getting really ridiculous.

[For starters:

1- an hour will be a year

2- You can summon a version of any fictional character/being to train you or just do it solo.

3- There is no limit to how long you can spend inside.

So tell me, do you think it is better than the one of DBZ]? Sakura told me in an ultra arrogant way

I wouldn't blame her though, that was fucking awesome.

- 'Yessssss!!!' -

[Do you want to use it?]

[YES/No]

I feel like a kid seeing nopor for the first time.

- 'Sakura, this is a definite yes! Speaking of which I almost forgot something important how much compatibility do I have with the card?' - [Yes!

[Current compatibility 79% (It is possible to almost fully use the power of the heroic spirit) the body will undergo changes to be a better container for the power.

Chances of keeping your abilities increase to 45%].

- 'Why is it so high' - Heroes are confusing and most of them are certified weirdos, how could he fit into that description?

[The reason is that in essence you are already quite similar to the heroic spirit on the chart].

...I don't know if I should be happy about this.

He thought as he felt it was a roundabout way of calling him a weirdo.

(POV Tom)

{Training room}

[Who would you like to train with]

Ummm I have plenty of attack power, but I lack stealth so it wouldn't hurt to learn assassination and information gathering techniques.

Type-Moon has a very good selection of assassins.

As for now my specialty will be attacking I should go for...

As for now my specialty will be attacking I should go for

[To selected Nanaya Shiki]

[Wishes to start with training]

- 'Yes' -

As soon as I answered in front of me appeared a boy in a blue uniform, he was not tall but not short either.

His hair and eyes were black, on his face he had a predatory grin

Yep, it's Nanaya

He looked at me for a moment until his smile became a little more normal and he said

[- I will be the one in charge of your torture- *ahem *ahem training, no matter if I break your bones or even kill you here - ] for a moment his eyes sparkled and his smile became sadistic [- After all while I'm here you can't really die - ]

... I already regretted choosing him

{Time-Skip: 10 months later}

[- Well that's the end of the basics! -] - He said with a damn smile that just made you want to smash his face in!

Basic? Basic!? How the fuck can chasing me, stalking me and killing me over and over again for 10 fucking months be basic?!!!!!

[- Your basics are done, from now on will come the real training and remember every failure you make will be worth a death! Did you understand? -] - The last thing he said with a lot of joy, as if he really wanted me to fail.

.... Now I understand why most of the members of the Nanaya clan are crazy.

These trainings cause most of them to die and the ones who survive become a bunch of nutcases

************************

(POV Nanaya)

After 5 minutes of rest

Now it's my turn to teach the boy the basics that every Nanaya should know....

[- Alright! To train your reflexes you'll have to dodge the slashes I'll give you -]

...Make the techniques melt into his body and mind, because it's no use if he ends up forgetting how to defend himself using what he learned.

So regardless of whether you end up forgetting or remembering, the skills will become a reflex.

After all if your head can't remember it your body will.

Hahahahahaha

He lunged at me like he would have been doing for the past few months.

He really has been working hard and making steady progress, not great but at a level that I could consider decent.

I dodge the slash of his katana by moving to the side its edge is not a joke after all.

His stance is a little better than that of a beginner

His strikes are for the kill without a hint of hesitation or hesitation

And even better in his eyes is the determination to kill me or at least hurt me no matter what.

I still remember the first month, his stance and way of handling the katana would have made the masters weep for how simple and full of openings he was

Yes, that's what I thought

Until I found out that it was just a feint, a sweet trap to make his opponents angry and take advantage of those "openings" although not perfect it is a very useful and versatile style depending on who used it and the situation they are in.

Besides being quite suicidal

It would be scary if he manages to perfect it but the future will tell.

Fufufufufufufufu

Now all I have to do is hit it and hit it until it turns blue and purple.

Until I can't take it anymore

************************

(POV Tom)

Seriously this guy seems to be getting crazier and crazier

Although I see he got excited when he saw that I used Emiya's style to fight, yep once again I confirm that Nanaya Shiki is a nutcase.

{Mission 01: Training (Completed)

Difficulty: C++

Time limit: one year

Objective 01: Perfect your own combat style

Objective 02: Amaze Nanaya with your techniques

Objective 03: Manage to last 5 minutes against Nanaya.

Rewards:

[Gacha Premium (X1)]

[Nanaya Murder Arts (Beginner Level)]

[Nanatsu-Yoru (NP)]}

I can feel the tears coming down my eyes

Those 10 months of being left purple and blue, of dying from my bones turning to dust was worth it

- 'Sakura claims the rewards' - I said with great joy.

[Okey~]

[Nanatsu-Yoru (NP)(Rank A)]

[Description: Nanatsu-Yoru Seven nights that precensen the birth of nanaya, is a technique designed by one of the last members of the clan.

It focuses on releasing the body's limiters and overcoming the limit of what the human body can do.

It thus gives the ability to kill enemies far beyond one's own strength]

[Rank will be upgraded to EX if the Mystic Eyes of the Death Perception is obtained]

[It's a broken skill isn't it?]

- 'Totally' - I thought with excitement.

Now I qualify as Assassin, well I will when I master the techniques.

************************

{Time-Skip 2 months}

Nanaya left after teaching me

That guy really is ruthless

Since he saw that I mastered the beginner level.

He became more and more intense

To the point where I had to advance to veteran if I wanted to survive his cuts.

I think I'll have a trauma towards knives for a while.

- Speaking of which Sakura, what are the mastery levels?' -

[The mastery levels are 9:

1-Basic

2-Novice

3-Beginner

4-Veteran

5-Experienced

6-Master

7-Grand Master

8-Saint

9-God]

[As you advance it will become more difficult to go higher through conventional means, oh and there are also nine sublevels for each level of mastery].

- 'What level are the Servants? Or at least the ones that are in the war' -

[Most of the Servants on the Hero Throne have reached Master and are very rare cases of those possessing the level of Grand Master.

Also some few are at Experienced or lower because they did not train much in life]

-'Would you give me an example of the latter?' -'

[Gilgamesh could be counted as part of the latter because he rather than using weapons fired them as long-range projectiles.

His masteries are at Experienced except for the throwing mastery which is at the Grandmaster level].

- 'Wow' - Sincerely I already expected something like that.

- 'Tell me Sakura what would happen if I decide to use Gluttony on the impurities in my body?' -'

[Well you'd have to be an idiot to eat- wait a minute you're already doing it!!!? Are you an idiot or what!!!?]

- 'They say the line between genius and idiocy is a fine line you know?' - He said with an Urahara-esque grin on his face.

[Agghhhh YOU! You're really good at getting on my nerves!

Alright I'll use your Gacha Premium to get you something that will help you survive]

- 'Da-Date hurry up this hurts like hell!!! You know?!!' - I yelled at him as I felt my body tearing as if it was burning from the inside out.
