*****

Shirone rushed towards me while brandishing her fist. She glared at me with an intensity that could kill a normal person, and throw a punch in my direction.

I side-stepped to the left and dodge her punch. At her speed, I don't need to use my fear to dodge her attack. The first attack was different though, as it was a surprise attack so I use Kyouka Suigetsu to make her see my fake presence.

Because her punch was dodged, Shirone immediately send a kick using her left leg towards me. This time I ducked under her kick and send a low kick, hitting the right leg that she use as a pivot and making her fall to the ground.

As she fell, I jumped back and landed while crossing my arm and looking at Shirone.

"Who said that it was easy to hit me? I held myself back from using my technique and yet you can't hit me." I said to Shirone with a smug smile on my face.

I've been sparring, no, bullied by my old man in our spar when I was a child. That made me so mad that a curse came out of my mouth every time I faced my old man. But, I think I understand his feeling at that time.

Having spar with someone weaker than you has different enjoyment than fighting with someone strong. I could play with them, mocking them, and more importantly, I could make a quip to provoke them.

"Shut up." Shirone raised her body and then leaped towards me. Her speed was faster than earlier, if I compare it with using a number, then the previous one had reached 20mph and this one she managed to reach 25mph.

She's faster, but that's it. I could see her attack clearly as she didn't use any technique right now. She reached my position in a second and sent me an uppercut with her right hand. Because of her short stature, she has a disadvantage from fighting me on equal ground.

I smiled as I saw her uppercut approaching my chin. She uses her small stature to her advantage, if it's a normal person or at least normal devils, they wouldn't able to dodge this uppercut. Mainly because of a surprise, and they wouldn't be able to see Shirone under their sight.

While this uppercut works for other devils or at least the devils at Kiba or Issei's level, this will not work for me.

I easily dodged her attack by tilting my head to the left, but as if she predicted it, she quickly sent a jab to my stomach using her free left hand as she pulled her right hand at the same time.

Naturally, I dodged her jab, but she then sent a barrage of punches that made me a little bit troubled. She kept pushing me as I kept dodging her punch until finally, she changed her punch into a roundhouse kick. She almost hit my face with that kick, but as I kept getting kicked by my old man, my body moved by instinct and dodged her kick. I jumped backward to make a distance between us and said.

"Woah, that was close, maybe if you kept punching me a little bit faster, then you will hit me with that kick. Nice try though."

Shirone looked pissed as I commented on her attack. No, she didn't look pissed. She's pissed off by my comment. Her tails were moving back and forth as she gritted her teeth and glared at me with her sharp eyes.

As she glared at me with such intensity, a white-bluish aura appeared around her body. Honestly, I was surprised, but I had a big smile on my face. Shirone was able to use a Senjutsu just because of this spar.

She's talented, that's for sure. But, to be able to emit an aura with just one-day training is just cheating. It seems that she herself didn't realize the aura that she emitted while Kuroka was having a surprised face as I've thought.

"This is interesting, then allow me to use one of my techniques." As I said that, black smoke surrounded my body and erases my presence.

Shirone looked surprised as she looked around to try to find me. She was confused, she tried to sniff the air to find my smell but she slumps her shoulder after a few seconds.

I almost laughed at her but I held it. I walked to Shirone, stopped behind her, and give her a chop on her head with my hand.

"Ouch!" Shouted Shirone, surprised by my chop.

She turned back almost instantly, but she only saw an empty space instead of me. Now she's confused again and punches the space around her in anger.

I dispelled my fear and appeared behind Shirone as I tackled her legs, making her fall on the ground again.

She rolled and stood on her feet again as she pounced at me and throw a punch. This time, I didn't dodge her punch because I had achieved the goal of this training, and that's to make Shirone learn Senjutsu.

I took her punch with my left hand and laughed.

"Hahahahaha, it seems that even with Senjutsu you can't feel my presence, huh. You still have a long way to go."

Shirone blinked her eyes several times as her aura disappeared from her body. She pulled her hand and looked at both of them with disbelief.

"Am I really using Senjutsu?" Asked Shirone.

Kuroka approached us from the distance and hugged Shirone from behind. "You did it nya! As expected from my sister!"

Kuroka was beamed into a smile as she nudged her cheeks against Shirone's. She can't contain her happiness as she hugged Shirone tighter.

"Onee-chan, Riku-senpai is watching…" Said Shirone while peeking at Kuroka as she can't move her head because of Kuroka.

But, I was focused on the way she calls me. Did she say Riku-senpai?

I leaned against Shirone and said. "Can you repeat it again?"

I have my kindest smile on my face, trying to coax her into saying it again. But for some reason, Shirone's stoic expression is back and she said.

"Nura-senpai."

"Don't be shy~"

"Nura-senpai." Repeated Shirone.

I sighed and turned away from her. "Well, that's an improvement. Kuroka, I will leave the rest to you, I have something to do."

"Certainly nya!" Shouted Kuroka as she released Shirone.

"Now, Shirone. Let's continue our training nya!"

"Wa-wait, Riku-senpai!! Please, just let me train with you!! Riku-senpai!!" shouted Shirone.

I could guess that Shirone's face was pale right now because I swear I could hear her calling me Riku-senpai.

Well, that's just my imagination. I think it's better if I ignore it. I used Meikyo Shisui and disappeared from the clearing.

What I said to Kuroka was not a lie, I had something to do right now.

'Freed has got his first Excalibur. It's time to harvest it!'
