--- Third Person POV ---

Two weeks later, after he intake the Sparda Mutated Bloodline, Touru taught his group a new fighting style which is Royal Guard. It was a Close Quarter Combat which is focused on minimizing the motion and countering the enemies attacks, to make sure that anyone in his group can use the Royal Guard style, he customizes it that allows the nature chakra/energy that will create as a armor around the user that can minimize the damages from the enemy who was stronger than them or far.

It takes him two weeks to finish it to make sure that perfect for them. He also make sure they can use the ultimate skill of Royal Guard called" Royal Revenge " but to them was only a partial form just more like Touki but it was severally time stronger and durable. Kuroka and Shirone was first one manage to get in an initial level of Royal Guard as they are familiar to Touru, the former because she was only his sparring partner in close-quarter combat in the past before the devils raided their village, and the latter was always watching them since childhood as she was also taught by Touru in many types of close quarter combat technique. Followed by Lisa who was formerly known as Lornean Hydra has also a strong body and absurd healing factor was also in an initial level of Royal Guard, followed by Aika with a sheer will and determination to stand alongside with Touru was manage to learn the initial level.

The two Akeno and Xenovia was needed a two days to manage in initial level, the former was always focus in magic oriented but the fallen one had only average talent in melee combat, and the latter was only taught of basic hand to hand combat in the past as their focus was in swordsmanship as a Exorcist.

The next day the Rias and Sona's Peerage returned back to the Underworld for the nearing date for Youth Devil Gathering as well as the Peace Treaty with the Chief God of Norse Mythology, Odin. Since Odin was going towards Underworld, Touru will not waste the chance to take Nidhogg out from the roots of Yggdrasil. For sure that even the three sisters of Norns will not mind to take the Dragon as one of them was able to see the future that he will not make chaos in Asgard. Issei was able to unlock his Balance Breaker due to many times of begging to Deidara as the latter gave up as he grants his wish, his Balance Breaker was an armor-like Incursio but without a cape and its color was reddish-brown and it has Akatsuki Robe around its body.

Deidara was different to another being who was sealed in Sacred Gear, he was defiant against the Sacred Gear System which is totally sealed all most his abilities. Very few hosts that got interested that allowed them to use his Balance Breaker except Issei due to his pestering him day and night till he finally gave up.

--- Back at the Nekoshou Shrine ---

Touru was teaching them the Trickster Style and Dark Slayer Style, of course, it also customized with a bit of similarity to the Sonido in Bleach by concentrating a bit amount of nature chakra/energy on their feet. the former, allow them to maneuver in the air and the land to fights the enemies who were adept in flying and it evasive power was a headache towards the stronger opponents, and the latter was allowed them teleport instantly to their opponents. They still have one and a half weeks left before the Youth Devil Gathering and the peace treaty to the other Mythologies. Touru was able to master the Royal Guard, Trickster Style and Dark Slayer Style, and he was starting to train the Gunslinger and (Sparda)Sword Master Style that he got after he mastered the first three Techniques, while the rest was sparring each other as the best way to master the Royal Guard and Trickster Style. The former was able to via fighting to measure the strength that they can bear, while the latter was some they are bumping against the trees or the roofs of the shrine sometimes themselves, as for the Dark Slayer Style it was too much to them as they need to understand the Trickster Style to gain a bit knowledge as they need to learn to fight with a nature chakra/energy in their feet without putting too much power on it.

" So I will use it again, that my nostalgic way of fighting from the past," he said as he was holding a pouch that filled with mini icepicks, after he put the pouch in his waist. He jumped in the mid-air and a single rolled forward that his head was pointing above the floor, with that he took ten pieces of icepicks each hand as threw it while spinning in the mid-air. Which pierced many trees and other was riddled with holes, the way that he was doing was the Gunslinger style of Dante, instead of Ebony and Ivory, it was an Icepicks as projectiles.

-- A few hours later ---

After practicing many kinds of maneuver that Gunslinger style has, many trees on his surroundings were shredded to pieces.

" Oops, looks like I overdid it huh," Touru said when looks around on his surroundings, he went towards the shrine as he let out a large amount of nature chakra/everything around him to regrew up many trees.

" And done," he said as he uses the Dark Slayer Style towards his destination.
