Chapter 171 - Tawata's magic

"Breathing Style, yes I'll be teaching you along with Shinobu and Mitsuri."

Kanae said to Tawata having heard that she was a self trained sword woman and lacked proper forms and teaching. She further explained the benefits and power of having Breathing style that grew Tawata's curiosity.

Ryuu continued listening until Kie called them for dinner and everyone joined in where Tawata was greeted by a friendly atmosphere except for Lucifer since she remained silent drinking her wine and meal. 

Tawata finds it a drink for someone to have alcohol at the dinner table without any special occasion. She does find it enjoyable looking at the children who were curiously asking her tons of questions about Japan. 

They discussed the plan for the upcoming raid where the team will be where everyone is going to join including Lucifer who would be for the negotiation. Once their meal was finished, everyone went to their room including Jin-Ah. 

Ryuu slept with Nezuko and Mitsuri because it was their turn while on his chest was Alex. They were all naked when sleeping to better feel each other. 

The next day, everyone had breakfast and began Tawata's training. Rias, Jin-Ah, Nezuko and Justine went to the Dungeon exploring to level up while Kie and Cha Hae-in went shopping leaving Trese to stay and spar with Erza.

Lucifer being Lucifer just watched Ryuu train interest while wondering if he could bring him to her world soon. 

Tawata watched as they showed her was the Breathing Style that left her dumbfounded. They're movements were so inhumanly fluid that it shouldn't be possible yet they did. 

"Is this because of the system that you are able to perform those moves?"

She never played that many games but at least she knows the basics and understands that attacks can be assisted by the program.  

"No, we were able to do it even before we became hunters."

Kanae further explained that basic martial arts and training became redundant because of how hunters can easily overpower them yet this only made them forget to learn the basics of fighting and left their battle instinct to become dull. 

Tawata nodded understanding that fighting someone who can destroy a whole building with single strike would always win against a martial artist but if they mix them to their power then they would be alot stronger. In the end, people don't want to put effort into when they become a high ranking hunter. 

They showed her the basic and she able to easily absorbed it rather easily since she did learn swordmanship in her own. She was the same level as Cha Hae-in but it enough progressed. 

She proceeded to spar with Kanae using twin katana and tried to apply the basic of what Kanae taught. Tawata took deep breath feeling her blood flowing and tried her best to control everything. 

Tawata did research how martial artist fight and train a bit in her but not the degree like Total Concentration Breathing. She gripped tightly her twin katana and rush towards Kanae twisting her body for a slash only for for Kanae to easily parry her attack despite her superior strength.

'What!? How did she parry my attack with such a speed'

She was left dumbstruck while Kanae gave an amusing smile and performed a rapid slashes that Tawata tried to parry but it was well coordinated that made it impossible to completely block all the attack. 

Nezuko cheered on while Justine shared some Popcorn watching them spar. Ryuu nodded watching how Tawata trying her best to overpower Kanae with her superior strength but it was all for nothing.  

"She quite tenacious and stubborn….reminds me of someone."

Shinobu remarked glancing at Justine who shoving popcorn into her mouth. She stopped to look at Shinobu who shrugged before continuing to it.

"The two are alike anyway. Probably a Tomboy thing."

"I heard that!"

Justine shouted angrily while Ryuu shrugged it off and continued to watch them. In the end, Tawata was heavily sweating and too tired to continue where her body glistened, showing her midriff. Ryuu does try not to act creepy but in the end Tawata throws the bottle at his face.

"If you're going to perve at my body then hide it properly, you bastard!!"

"Duly noted."

His unreluctant reply made her even more angry but it was just a way to hide her blush that was too obvious for Ryuu. He always wondered if it was fair to take advantage of his [ Essence of the Harem Protagonist ] since he started to feel guilty. 

However, as long as he knows his boundaries and doesn't act like a creep then it's fine. 

Ryuu always finds it annoying how often main characters from fanfiction have "Good karma" and get a wish but end up becoming an untamed beast as if he knows every woman and always thinks they're better than mc despite taking advantage of what they know. 

He always reserves in what he knows and Ryuu may not be the smartest, often taking questionable decisions like sharing what he knows to his fellow chat group members about their futures and still thinking that it was the right choice.

His [ Intuition ] always helps him and never blind himself to what he has. Ryuu never takes things for granted. Though he tries his best to take bold action and tease woman that he likes. 

"You're complaining but you like the attention."

Kanae teasingly said, making Tawata blush where Ryuu gave Kanae a thumbs up. 

"So what's my next training? Is it the magic thing?"

Tawata changed the subject and gave a serious tone.

"That's right, Ryuu is going to help you with that since we can't explain it like he does."

Shinobu replied. Tawata nodded and after resting for few minutes before they continued where Ryuu guided her in how to properly utilize mana in the surrounding letting the energy around to churn and soon burst into the sky letting every witness Tawata acquiring her magic. 

"What's her magic, Ryuu?"

Mitsuri asked curiously while Ryuu was reading the description wondering how powerful her magic is.

[ You have acquired Gravity Magic ]

[ Description: Users can create, shape, move, control, interact with and manipulate gravity, a natural phenomenon in which all things with mass or energy — including planets, stars, galaxies, and light — attract (or gravitate toward) one another.

Gravity manipulation would allow one to increase or decrease gravity, be it the gravity of the environment or individual objects. Increasing gravity would cause everything in an area to become heavier, causing loose objects to propel to the ground, causing people to be immobilized or crushed depending on the amount of gravitation force applied. 

When doing the exact opposite (decreasing gravity), the user could achieve a similar effect to Zero Gravity since all objects would float upwards or allow the user to lift heavier objects with astonishing ease due to the decreased weight. With enough control and skill, one could attract or repel objects regardless of direction, achieving an effect akin to Telekinesis, ignore or defy the laws of gravity altogether, allowing one to walk on walls or ceilings or manipulate orbital fields on anything.

Some users can control their gravitational field, allowing them to move faster, be more agile, conserve stamina, or fly, all by decreasing the effects of gravity on themselves. Master-level users would be able to induce zero gravity at will, generate black holes or exert power over the inverse of gravity, anti-gravity.

Gravity manipulation is one of the most versatile in combat utility, allowing one to achieve offensive and defensive capabilities. Offensive uses include repelling enemies with such force to kill them instantly, increasing gravity to crush or immobilize opponents, or hurling large objects at their enemy with astonishing force and speed by decreasing the pull of gravity on said objects. Defensive uses include creating a gravitational force field to repel all attacks (similar to anti-gravity) or anchoring oneself to the ground to tank heavy physical attacks or decreasing gravity of an attack to weaken its potency and speed.

The most powerful users of gravity manipulation would be able to control the space-time continuum, warp reality, manipulate time and space. Some would be able to move entire planets, stars, or galaxies with their power. ]

Tawata opened her eyes wondering if she did and asked Ryuu who gave her the answer, surprising her. 

"Amazing, you can basically manipulate not just gravity but the law of physics itself. May we have a spar right now."

Justine is eager to see how much she can improve if her strike is rendered ineffective when all the force is redirected or even absorbed.
