Training.

In the backyard of the Kurogami Family's Residence.

A young man and young woman were standing in front of the tree.

Azura had her black hair tied in a ponytail while wearing clothes that would help her move more efficiently.

Ichiro was standing next to her and looked at the padded part of the tree.

The padded part was made from pillows and everything Ichiro could get his hands on.

He tried to mimic the padded striking post but didn't manage to do it so successfully, but it was still better than hitting the tree with bare fists.

''Alright…'' Ichiro walked behind Azura and grabbed her from her waist.

''Ohhh, weren't we training?'' Azura asked with a blush appearing on her soft-looking cheeks.

''Concentrate, '' Ichiro said and helped Azura change the posture, ''You can't use the full power of Iron Smash without destroying your bones; that's why I help you create a more basic version.''
