Humu. I am tempted to train observation techniques but, this is an illusion world. So, well, let's chose the basic movement technique, Body Flickering technique. Eve, purchase it.
Suddenly ways to train the body flicker technique, enter my head and I could recall each instruction. So, following them, I train. For the three hours, I train but, I do not feel like I did an improvement. So, I just train in basic taijutsu training. Well, now that the time is run out, I was kicked out of the illusion world and return to the real world. I feel so tired that I feel like my whole body is carrying something heavy or like that.
I see so that is what she means by 'experience in illusion world will be transferred to the physical body'. I feel like I have been training nonstop. Hm. If I use this to the fullest, I can gain much from this illusion world. But, for now, let's go to sleep.
Starting from the next day, I start my training. In the morning, I will run along the stream and run till I could not. I know that my training put a great burden on my body but, I wan to get stronger as much as I can. After that, I rest for a bit and while resting, I do chakra training. My body was hot from running and if I concentrate enough, I can feel Chakra flowing in my body like how my heart is beating fast.
After I regain my breathing and rested enough, I train in the illusion world for 24 hours. An hour later, I come out of the genjutsu world and assimilate the training there on my physical body. It seems, it roughly takes me three hours to fill my chakra. So, only after resting for three whole hours, I can enter the illusion world again. Anyway, that is very much my daily training and I continue to do so for a while in the first year.
In this year, I learned body flickering technique and basic taijutsu. I also trained in basic ninja technique and my observation haki training is also coming along well. Oh right, three days after training, I remember the training of my soldiers and search for the video on my computer that is in the inventory. I have to use solar to give power to my computer but, it is worth it because I found what I am looking for. The videos of Sethar giving advise to the soldier.
I give her that position precisely because of this. I want to learn from her who is a combat expert. Well, she is a Valkyrie who serves a goddess. So, where else would I learn when I have a strong Valkyrie beside me. With that plan, I gave her the position of the advisor of my personal force. I am glad, I can use it now.
I learned a lot from the videos. Each of her movements is smooth and she looks like she is dancing elegantly. And, for nearly a year, I have been training from her videos and by the time a year-end, I can move like a rookie ninja. Of course, tree climbing and water walking are still impossible for me but, nonetheless, I am confident in my close quarter combat now.
It was like ground and sky if I have to compare my previous CQC (Close Quarter Combat) to the CQC I can do right now which I learned from the videos of Sethar. Anyway, what I want to tell is that I finally gain an expert who will train me because I completed my quest for training. And, to my surprise, that expert is none other than,
"Hello, Embra, You doing well? As a reward from completing the first quest, I will teach you basic combat and swordsmanship. This is pre-recorded. So, I will not be able to answer every question or teach you effectively. But, I will teach you as best as I can. So, all you have to do is move as I move and listen to my words.
This training will be completed if your movement speed and efficiency can meet the standard I set. um... There is no punishment even if you cannot complete this training. So, it is okay not to do your best. ... *cough* Now, let's start." (Sethar)
Huh? It is okay not to do my best. What is she talking about? When she says it like that, of course, I do my utmost and my absolute best.
To describe her training in one word, it was 'hellish'. I have been training in CQC and building my body that I forgot about the sword training. And, so when she taught me, my movements were awkward, to say the least. It was not easy. I thought I would be able to learn from her in the illusion world but, she only trains me in the real world. It seems Eve is projecting her pre-recorded video, to my retina directly. That's why I could not use the illusion world that much.
But, it was good because I learned basic CQC in the first year, and in the second year, I learned the basic swordsmanship and small weapon usages like shuriken and daggers. I finished her training in one year and the quest is completed. Starting from the third year, I started training Jutsus, and by the end of the third year, I already mastered two techniques and two Jutsu. I mastered the Body Flickering technique and the Flash Step to the advanced form without buying them from the system. Similarly, I mastered Shuriken Jutsu and Replacement Jutsu.
The body flickering technique is good for going to obstacles like in a forest while the Flash step is good for going in a straight line. The Shuriken Jutsu is by far the easiest for me and I also mastered the advanced form of 'shadow clone shuriken jutsu'. The Replacement Jutsu is like the name suggests, the replacement of the real body with a clone or chunk of wood.
If I have to say, other development, I also learned the basic Observation Haki which I have been learning since the first year. It seems I also have a special trait in my Haki like Luf*y because I can feel the emotion of living beings. The first time, I felt was when I was meditating. I felt the hunger of a little rabbit. At first, I was a little taken aback but, I trained and trained it since the first year and I can say that I am now proficient in it. My Haki range is a little over 250 meters and, I can feel the strength and emotion of every living being in that range.
So, now that I have a basic foundation, I am thinking of getting real combat experience starting from this year. Five years of Isolation is almost over because there are only two years left. So, I have to make the most out of it.
