Chapter 37:
(2 months later)
Throughout my stay in this world, I always did what I wanted and I had never regretted any action of mine, but throughout the 2 months, I was under the tutelage of Akisame I discovered that it is the real hell.
The machines that Akisame had created, although not dangerous, terrified me just thinking about it, those machines worked a fixed muscle of the body, Akisame practically wanted me to develop the pink muscle and for that, he had a different machine for a specific type of muscle.
At first, it was very painful, as the muscles I was developing were the red (strong but prone to wear and tear).
So I spent the 2 months trying to remedy the type of muscle I was developing to a pink muscle and since I was a 6-year-old infant, it didn't take long so I didn't suffer what a youngster should have suffered.
In those two months that I was training, I did not learn any jiujitsu technique and I was only based on improving my body, apparently, according to Akisame, I had been overestimating myself since if I was compared to an adult in the medium or advanced disciple class I was nothing for them, since the only reason I could fight with adults was because of my reinforcement ability.
While it destroyed my pride, the thing was that I was nothing more than a low-class disciple in terms of physique, but with my martial arts experience I could defend myself but nothing more, I was relying too much on my ability to reinforce so when given the choice between training my body or learning more martial arts techniques I decided to train my body.
I had overestimated myself and luckily Akisame put me in my place by telling me what kind of strength I really have, now a new world had opened up which let me see Akisame better, I knew I had failed to see his strength and now I didn't know what kind of strength he possessed.
"I have a long way to go to become stronger" for while this world is not the weakest it is one of the weakest of the myriad worlds out there.
Shigure "Could you help me forge new weapons?"
"Sure...I have nothing to do I already trained with the teacher "with that I followed the girl with whom I had spent most of these 2 months training.
While I knew nothing about forging weapons, I had spent time helping Shigure forge weapons, and she had a book on forging weapons that she had gotten from her real father, so from time to time, I took a look at it.
Hiro "You just guide me shigure...in the art of forging you are my master."
Shigure "Well...hiro is my first disciple "Shigure's happiness was noticeable when she called me her disciple, which I did not refute since I was learning the art of forging from her.
Every day I spent with Shigure I had to admit that he was a completely amazing genius, although I don't know what the bloodline had done to my body, but he learned everything to do with martial arts in a super-fast way, he was practically a fish in the water when it came to martial arts, but with regards to weapon forging he was nothing more than an average talent, unlike Shigure who learned it very fast.
Sometimes I felt a little jealous of her, but remembering about my dimensional store and my world, it all went away as I could surpass her at any time as long as I had money, but I didn't as forging was a hobby as lately I have done nothing but train because Sam did everything about getting companies and managing them.
Shigure had a bathrobe and a cloth in her hair to keep her hair out of the fire, something she learned after she almost got her hair burned by accident, on the other hand, I only had some pants since I didn't have her problem.
Shigure "Prepare the anvil".
Hiro "Sure..."
We were trying to forge some kunai since it was the only thing we knew how to forge, forging was not at all simple even with Shigure's talent.
*sound
The sound of striking metal rang out, as two hammers wielded by us made loud clangs as they struck the kunai.
With that, the time passed as he continued trying to make a couple of kunai and called it a day.
Two kunai came out of the forging room, they looked similar but it was not because when I threw them mine broke.
"You are short of catching up with me in forging... "said Shigure while giving a small smile.
I didn't get angry since at the slightest Shigure behaved better than Junko, he practically already had a resistance to such teasing.
Hiro "Give me a little more time and we'll see who beats who...after all you still don't surpass me in the art of weapons handling."
Shigure "(....)"
"You may be right but I am your master so I win "said Shigure before leaving the place.
"How can all the people I met be so immature...now this girl won't help me learn forging for a few days until I stop being angry "Shigure was more competitive than I thought, which caused me a headache.
With that, I went home, or rather to the Tanimoto's house where I was still living.
"I finally stopped behaving...what freedom "I had finally left Akisame's house so I freed myself a little "what one had to do for a super master to take you as a disciple" I complained as I continued on my way calmly.
On the bright side, my body was getting stronger very quickly, so at least performing a little bit did me some good.
"Everything would be calmer if akisame wasn't trying to lead me down the path of no killing "the man was irritating with that as for nothing in the world was he going to follow that ideology, because after all what merit is there in letting live the person who is after your life which was a stupid thing to do.
"Sweet home now I can rest" as usual no one greeted me which made me feel...very happy as I had peace of mind, Junko was working at my publishing house and Natsu was at his company now with less work thanks to Sam and Kaede was playing with Sam apparently they had become very good friends.
Once I got to my room I looked at the amount of money I had and realized that I only had 5 million yen, I needed to get more money, so I decided it was time to go somewhere else I could not stay in this city or I would be stuck in terms of money.
On the bright side, I could go anywhere because with my teleportation gate ability I could return at any time to continue my training.
"It's time to travel to other places.... eh?"
N/A: I'm thinking about hiro going to another world, but the world he will go to will be one where he won't become very strong either, there won't be any powers or anything, there might be technology but no technology that improves your physique or gives you any power.
What I don't know is when he will go or where he will go, so until I decide which world he will go to there will be some filler and character development.
