Training Day

Edward woke up to the sun rays hitting him in the face. Also, the face of Henkai. Henkai told him to "WAKE UP!" Edward slowly got up because he was still tired because the bed was so old. Edward said quietly, "I'm up, I'm up." "It's time to train your sword skills. Let's head to the dojo." Said Henkai quickly. As Edward and Henkai were walking to the dojo Kamamoto walked towards them. "It's a beautiful day out isn't it." Said Kamamoto. "Yes, it is" said Edward and Henkai. "Where are you going to?" asked Kamamoto. "We're heading to the dojo I'm going to teach Edward sword basics." Kamamoto Smiled and said "Ok, make sure you teach him well." He then walked away towards the Samurai castle where his house was held. Edward and Henkai continued forward towards the dojo. Everyone was doing their regular things. Making weapons, training in their lawns, and making cloths. They reached the dojo and opened the door. It was the same as yesterday. Everyone was training, there were also some fights going on, but they ignored them. Henkai told Edward. "By the end of the day you will go in the ring. I'm going to teach you the Samurai sword art. The Kenjutsu sword." Edward looked surprised as in his world the Kenjutsu was the Samurais way of training too in his original world. Henkai threw a wooden sword made of bamboo shoots at him. Henkai told him to follow his movements exactly or he would be slapped. Henkai walked lightly like he was walking on air. He then angled his sword tip above his shoulder then brought it back down fast. It was so fast Edward couldn't see it with his eyes. He then showed him several blocking techniques. Henkai pointed to Edward telling him to copy it. Edward went into the stance perfectly and masterfully did the technique better than Henkai. Henkai was amazed at how he did it without any training in one second. Henkai thought 'Was he a samurai before'. They trained for 5 more hours. Henkai realized it was dark out and told Edward to go home and rest for tomorrow. Edward was walking home when Kamamoto pounced on him to test his abilities after one day of training. Edward blocked his strike perfectly. Kamamoto was honestly quite surprised and said, "Henkai did well to train you to only master the technique in one day." Kamamoto then bowed and left. Edward was surprised but then disregarded the matter and went inside his house for dinner. Kamamoto left him a lunchbox filled with traditional Japanese foods again. He then went to sit on his bed and laid down.
