U could do it alone Sensei

1st of January, 1 Year ASBI

24th Ward

Works began at the entire 24th Ward; some exits were already sealed and others are being sealed just now. Many people were working here and there, renovating strategic buildings to improve the situation of the 24th Ward.

The first thing needed to do was to seal all exits leading to the 24th Ward and leave only a few of them, of course, fortified and good defendable places.

Lucien was surprised at how fast had the works on the 24th Ward begun, but soon he stopped admiring the beauty and thinking about the future of the 24th Ward and went away. He went to the special place, which served as the training field for the executives of the Aogiri Tree.

This was something constructed by Kamishiro Matasaka after he joined the Aogiri Tree, as he started training some ghouls of the Aogiri Tree in his martial arts and way of fighting.

There was a young man with white hair training in the training field. The moment he saw Lucien, he stopped training and bowed deeply to Lucien.

"Sensei."

Kaneki Ken, compared to the weakling and half-ass he was in the past, the current him was much more useful and better. At least to Lucien, because to some extent, he had the same methods, the same amount of cruelty to enemies, and calm composure in everything.

Under Lucien's influence, Kaneki also turned to the person he wished to get stronger and be able to protect everybody with supreme strength.

Philosophy taught by Lucien Etras di Aeon.

"We could start now."

He stated neutrally as he turned on his kakugan and went to spar with Kaneki. He rarely fought using his tails, as using kagune katana was far more convenient to him, as him being a samurai and follower of the way of the sword.

Both of them materialized four kagune tails and started fighting each other. Soon the result was clear as Kaneki was beaten almost to death, lying powerlessly on the ground. Lucien looked at him from the side as he commented.

"Are you aware of your mistakes, or do I need to point them out?"

Questioned Lucien with a bored voice.

"No need, Sensei, I would properly meditate about my mistakes during the day, and we could continue tomorrow."

Answered Kaneki from the hole in the ground to Lucien, who faintly smiled upon hearing this. Then he came to Kaneki, helping him, stood up, and gave him two blood essences to eat. After each training, or we could say beating, Lucien would also give him some blood essences to eat to increase his RC Level and strengthen his kagune.

Kaneki's RC Level was around 977 or so after that surgery by Kano Akihiro, but now it was slowly increasing. Now it was a bit more than one thousand or so. Lucien was giving him more potent blood essences to increase his RC Level faster.

"Go to Kamishiro Matasaka to learn martial arts from him. In some things, especially human martial arts, he is a master and better than me. I will only teach you how to fight with kagune and if you want, I could teach you Kenjutsu."

Said Lucien to Kaneki after a short tough.

He never planned to teach Kaneki some martial arts as he wasn't a master of it, but when it came to the Kamishiro Matasaka, that was a different story. Kamishiro Matasaka was the master of the most known martial arts created in this world, and he spent his entire life training and improving his martial arts.

Kaneki bowed to Lucien again, and Lucien went to visit Arima, who was currently discussing something with Eto. When he was already on his way, he took out a glass vial that was filled with blood essences and tossed it to Kaneki.

"Eat them and digest them properly, your RC Level will increase faster, and when you would eat another ghoul, cannibalizing, you wouldn't lose your mind and go berserk."

After that, he exited the training grounds and went to the meeting place, where Arima and Eto were already discussing some things about the reconstruction of the 24th Ward.

"Arima-san, Eto."

Lucien greeted them the moment he entered the room and saw Arima with his classical expressionless face and Eto, who was sitting on the chair with a mischievous expression as if she was thinking about something weird, probably.

Her mental state wasn't the best one, but still better than some other ghouls. Lucien sat down at his place, which was already prepared for him as he joined the discussion.

They talked about the reconstruction of the 24th Ward and the fortification of the place. The next topic was cooperation between the Aogiri Tree and the Tsukiyama Family in this project. In return, they would give the Tsukiyama Family one whole district of the reconstructed 24th Ward as their property.

Tsukiyama Family was one of the main reasons why the work started so soon, as Tsukiyama Mirumo was very decisive in doing this, and as soon as his conversation with Lucien ended, he personally visited the 24th Ward to discuss cooperation with Eto.

"Arima-san, how is your eyesight these days?"

Asked Lucin with a smile on his face. Last time, he gave Arima a vial filled with his blood because it would stop the process of decay of his body, as he was a half-breed, and also stop losing his eyesight.

"Much better; I can finally use both of my eyes to full again; thank you, Lucien-san."

Answered Arima to Lucien.

When he drank the blood from that vial Lucien gave him, he was very surprised to see it completely cured his eyes, and now he could function normally once again. It even greatly improved his body, and his strength grew by a significant amount.

"That's good to hear, Arima-san."

After that, they returned to the previous conversation regarding upcoming events, works, and many other topics, which ended only five hours later when both Arima and Lucien left the 24th Ward to return to their own things.
