Dun Scaith II

The mental training focused on honing Jun's instincts, sealing his senses and then putting him in dangerous situations.

First, there were five years of training, where each sense was blocking for an year before moving on to a different one the next year.

Then five more years, each year having two senses blocked before keeping one blocked and switching the other every year.

Following that, was five more years but this time, three senses were blocked and cycled each year in similar fashion as before.

Predictably, the following five years, all but one sense was blocked which was cycled each year but it was not over yet.

Seeing Jun's unrivalled talent and his fearsome adaptability, Scathach had him do something she did not think possible. She commanded him to spend the next five years with all of his senses blocked.

Truthfully, Jun struggled, even with his honed instincts and that fact that he was used to living without his senses, it was nearly impossible to know where he was, in what position and doing what exactly but, after months of failure, a light shone from within that pointed out the path.

And instinct so honed it could read the environment and his own body and thus allow him to move even more accurately than he did with all of his senses, it was truly marvelous and even Scathach was extremely impressed.

"You have surpassed my every expectation!" Scathach praised.

"Should you keep this up, I might have to prepare a special rewards for you at the end of our time together." She added.

"I'll be looking forward to it then." Jun cheekily replied, making his teacher chuckle.

All this training also produced a change in Jun's martial skills. True Nothingness was absorbed by Boundary of Nothingness, turning it into an EX rank skill.

It's power was quite tremendous as well but more importantly, what had once been an ability obtained from the root had become a skill learned through training.

Next up was what Scathach "affectionately" called, "The Pit".

It was a huge hole filled with a mixture made from Scathach's techniques and magecraft with Jun's materials, including the essences extracted from his broken Apokalypsis noble phantasm.

The end result was quite interesting and terrifying at the same time. It was a cursed pit filled with liquid holding curses, poison and heat that would burn and corrode even an immortal soul of a God but it also held unimaginable healing powers that would repair all that damage.

Jun was commanded not only to bathe in the Pit but also to train in, breather and let it fell his lungs, drink from it while performing training exercises.

The power of the liquid would sustain his life, making even breathing unnecessary but the suffering Scathach wanted him to purposely throw himself into was unimaginable. If he completed this training though, he would possess a mind and body forged to their absolute limit.

There was no cheating so he would face the pain with nothing but his willpower, as soon as he jumped in, Scathach sealed the Pit and hoped for the best, that Jun would not only rise to the challenge but surpass her expectations once again.

"I'm looking forward to your growth Jun . . . You might just be the best student I ever had the pleasure of training and you certainly brought enjoyment to my stale existence." Scathach said to herself.

Jun's first training was twenty five years, this one was even longer.

At first, Jun could only twist and contort, nearly breaking from the torture but he held on and, in due time, he "got used to it". It truth, it was abnormal, even for him. There was not getting used to that level of pain that went all the way through to the core of one's soul.

Even the greatest of heroes and God's, even if they could weather it, never would they "get used to it", never.

But Jun did and so he trained to pass the time. In the boundary between life and death as his entire being was destroyed and repaired at a rapid pace, Jun's martial acumen rose even further beyond. So long as he could make one more step, he would reach it but he was held back.

For the first time in a long while, Jun was held back by his power, his skill had surpassed his raw power at this time and said raw power was not enough to reach the next level of his martial art.

Fifty years later, JUn shattered the seal and flew out on his own, noticing the liquid of the Pit was no longer affecting him in any way shape or form.

"Welcome back." Scathach greeted a naked Jun with a smile.

He formed clothes with his magical energy and said with a smile that made his teacher's hear beat faster.

"Good to be back."

Achieving such a degree of power without relying on intaking a powerful booster like a dragon heart or daemonic power was a right shock to Jun.

His obsession with such things had prevented him from realizing the full potential of his body but now, under Scathachs brutal training fueled by countless resources, such an evolution was finally achieved.

Now was the time for Jun to get back to his old methods. His body, his vessel could now handle the power he wanted to integrate into it. He still decided to run the idea by Scathach and she said the following.

"Now, it truly is the time for that, you have reached the peak of what you have, honing it to the limit under my tutelage. So you must grasp something further beyond."
