Kaneki's past with Claudia, Arin and Drako (8)

Kaneki: alright, let's get started.

Claudia: thank you for this, I'm really greatful.

Kaneki: no problem.

(Narrator: from this point on the one who'll be narrating the flashbacks will be Kaneki)

On one of the days of my training, after I had trained with Sensei I secretly met up with Hime-sama in order to train with her.

Claudia: So how do we do this?

Kaneki: like we always did, we use the Royal Atlantean Arts in conbat but unlike before I'll be hitting you like there's no tomorrow.

Claudia: ???

Kaneki: I mean I will be beating you up, just like you did with me.

Claudia: Ahhh ~ I see, but wouldn't mom notice?

Kaneki: don't worry, I can get instant heal injections so you'll be instantly healed.

Claudia: that's good I guess. Soo~ what no-

As she didn't know what to do, I took the initiative and started the training with a punch.

Punch!

Kaneki: We start, what else?

Claudia: That hurts! I'll make you pay for that!

Spray!

Kaneki: What the-

She then retaliated by spraying ink at me.

Kaneki: That's impressive, using the power of Octupi and Squids to blind me huh?

Unlike normal ink, her ink was way more darker and thicker since she was using the Royal Atlantean Arts. I couldn't move recklessly so I waited.

Kaneki: there you are!

Screech!

Claudia: AHHHHHH!!!!

With one amplified screech Claudia fell.

Claudia: My head is ringing!

Kaneki: Hurts doesn't it? If you can't handle that much how can you fight alongside your mother?

Claudia: Tch!

I could see the frustration on her face, the feeling of being weak.

Kaneki:I know frustrating, but you can't give up now.

But I wasn't gonna give up on her that easily.

Kaneki: you punched and threw me around all the time, you're strong but because of your mom you're inexperienced when it comes to actual combat. Even just sparring will be difficult since you don't know how your opponents moves.

I gave her some advice.

Kaneki: try using echo location to predict my movements.

Claudia: what? How is that gonna-

Kaneki: I have good hearing, and I use it to my advantage.

Claudia: huh?

Kaneki: what I'm saying is, you should use the power of whales, their hearing. If you use their hearing you can predict the movements of your opponents.

Claudia: but how is that going to work?

Kaneki: I don't know, I just listen.

Claudia: You're so useless!

Kaneki: I'm very sorry, but I have an idea of how we can do that.

I had an idea but...

Claudia: This was not a great idea!

Slither!

Kaneki: you better keep your ears sharp if you don't want to get electrocuted.

I brought Deep sea electric eels and released them into a fog of ink with Hime-sama in it.

Since those little shits are pretty much the fastest and most quiet swimmers in the deep sea they would be perfect as training dolls.

Shock!

Claudia: Ahhhhh!!!!

Kaneki: predict their movements!

Claudia: Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Kaneki: Man this is going to take a long time.

It took me over 1 week of secretly training her to help her with her hearing. But it was worth it.

Claudia: Ha!

Crush!

Kaneki: Nice you crushed it.

Claudia: finally!

She was able to use echolocation to predict the movements of the eels.

Meaning.

Kaneki: alright, now lets get physical shall we?

Claudia: Hahaha! Finally! I'm going to beat you up for real now! You have no idea how terrifying that experience was!

Kaneki: well to be honest, I didn't expect you to actually survive that.

Claudia: Tch! Here I come!

Kaneki: same here!

And after that we began training on our own.

Everytime I finished my training with Sensei, me and Hime-sama, Claudia-san would train with each other for 2 hours in our secret training grounds.

This lasted until our training of the Royal Atlantean Arts were complete.

And.

Takoyaki: Hello everyone, I'm sorry I'm late.

Takoyaki arrived on the day where Atlantis was going to be taken back.

Monoma: Hello O great Brast Knight.

Takoyaki: Oi my name isn't Beast Knight it's Takoyaki.

Monoma: Oh yeah, I'm sorry Ms. Takoyaki.

Claudia: Hello.

Kaneki: My friend! Welcome!

Takoyaki: You all need to get Atlantis back soon.

Monoma: we know, we're preparing.

Takoyaki: you all need to go now.

We were all surprised to why Takoyaki was in such a hurry.

But then she told us the reason.

Takoyaki: The Clad of Black wings are trying to steal all of your hidden technology.

When she mentioned that name.

Kaneki: Did I heard that right?

I was instantly furious.

Kaneki: I'm gonna crush them!

And on that day, I lost my sense... And Claudia-san lost her mother.
