Two Years

Daedalus was busy. He and Andromeda had decided to move back to the islands of Heris for a couple more years. The problem they where facing was that they couldn't teach Ronin sword fighting or the likes while they where there, not to mention that Daedalus was the head of an enormous organisation.

Daedalus didn't particularly care about the profits and such he got from the organisation so all he really had to do, was find a replacement for himself. This was done with surprising ease as Daedalus' secretary was well known and we'll trusted by all other heads of the organisation. He was an intelligent man and he and Daedalus had gotten along well.

Once that was taken care of Daedalus set a deadline for teaching his son the basics, two years. This would only include the basics of weapon based fighting and hand to hand combat as well as cultivation. Daedalus had already prepared Ronin's body while he was still in the womb, this had made it so that Ronin didn't have to feel that pain. Daedalus only wished he had noticed his son's lung at that time, he could have probably saved it.

The first year of training was extremely basic and repetitive, this was mostly to make sure that Ronin's will would be stronger. At the same time Daedalus and Andromeda had managed to have him reach the stage where he had all of the embodiments of the elements within his body.

They hadn't taught him how to proceed further yet as it could cause issues if he didn't know biology. Luckily that was quickly being mastered by Ronin as he had come to find it very interesting. It had even affected his style of fighting.

Ronin quickly came to understand hat patience was key in his practices, this was especially true when he was told how long he would live. It had shocked him to learn that he could live for millions of years, even more so when he realised that his entire life so far would be barely a blink of an eye in the future.

The second year compounded on his knowledge and skills. This was done by having him progress into the more complicated part of the basics. This was also where he was more free to pursue what he though he should try and learn more of.

His intense infatuation with biology really showed during this time as he spent all of his time doing things related to his studies of biology. This ranged from reading and practicing dissection, under supervision, to using his knowledge of anatomy to attack at the weakest points of a beings body.

Daedalus had obviously seen the danger of the style and made sure that Ronin only used it to fight against him. Daedalus had explained that it was a sword style with great potential but it was highly dangerous. Limited to only one training partner Ronin was annoyed at first, but when his father revealed his ability to shape-shift to a degree he had immediately become ecstatic.
