Nice work, Ritsuka. Ayaka said with a nod of approval. Your swordsmanship is improving rapidly. Keep up the good work.

As Ritsuka continued his training, Ayaka observed him closely, noting his progress with each technique he attempted. She provided guidance and corrections where needed, ensuring that he honed his skills effectively.

"Remember to maintain your focus and control," Ayaka advised as Ritsuka prepared for his next practice session. "Precision is just as important as power."

Ritsuka nodded, taking her words to heart as he approached the training dummy once again. With each strike, he concentrated on his form, striving for perfection in every movement.

Meanwhile, Ciel and Aozkai watched from a distance, impressed by Ritsuka's determination and growth. They exchanged nods of approval as they witnessed his improvement firsthand.

"It's amazing to see how far he's come," Ciel remarked, her eyes following Ritsuka's swift movements. "He truly has a natural talent for combat."

Aozkai nodded in agreement. "Indeed, but let's not forget the role his shadows play in his abilities. They provide him with unique advantages that few others possess."

As Ritsuka continued to train, his shadows swirled around him, enhancing his movements and lending him strength. With each passing moment, he grew more confident in his abilities, pushing himself to new heights with each strike.

After a grueling training session, Ritsuka stepped back, catching his breath as he wiped sweat from his brow. Despite the exertion, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"I'm getting stronger every day," he thought to himself, a determined gleam in his eyes. "And I won't stop until I've reached my full potential."

So what will you call that technique. Ayaka said remebring the moved Ritsuka did the three slash and then the explosion. Sun slash.

Ritsuka smiled, satisfied with his decision. "Thank you, Master Ayaka. I feel like it captures the essence of the technique perfectly."

With their training session complete and a new technique named, Ritsuka and Ayaka prepared to continue their journey of growth and discovery. They knew that with dedication and determination, there was no limit to what they could achieve together.

Still a mouth full. Aozaki said hearing through name of the attack. How about removing the sun slash part

"Agreed," Ayaka chimed in. "Just 'Slashed Dream Cries in Red' has a nice ring to it, and it still captures the essence of the technique."

Ritsuka nodded in agreement. "I like that. It sounds more streamlined and impactful without 'Sun Slash' at the beginning."

With the name refined, they continued their training with renewed focus and determination, ready to further refine and master the technique.

So are not gonna talk about the other part. Ciel said as she looked at Ritsuka. Do you have the name for that technic

Still I wonder. Aozkai said looking at the shadow robin. Does it only work on dead things or can you make it from living animals as well

Ritsuka pondered Aozkai's question for a moment before responding. "I'm not sure," he admitted. "But I think it's worth experimenting with. Maybe we can try it out on a small animal and see what happens."

As the group discussed their next steps, they decided to conduct an experiment to test Ritsuka's ability to summon shadow creatures from living animals. They ventured into the nearby woods, where they found a squirrel darting among the trees.

"Let's give it a try," Ritsuka said, focusing his thoughts on the squirrel. With a whispered command, he attempted to channel his shadow magic, reaching out to the squirrel's essence. Moments later, a shadowy replica of the squirrel materialized beside the real one.

"It worked!" exclaimed Ayaka, her eyes wide with amazement.

"But what will happen to the real squirrel?" Caren wondered, voicing the group's collective concern.

Ritsuka observed the real squirrel, which continued its normal activities, seemingly unaffected by the appearance of its shadow counterpart. Relieved, the group returned to their training area, eager to further explore Ritsuka's newfound abilities.

Here let me try one more thing Arises. Ritsuka said his shadow moving covering, Ciel, Caren, Aozkai and Ayaka shadow, as they shadow replica came out. It worked

"It's incredible how precise the replicas are," Ayaka added, impressed by the attention to detail in the shadow creations.

Ritsuka smiled, pleased with the success of his experiment. "This opens up so many possibilities," he said, envisioning the potential applications of his Umbral Summons ability.

With their curiosity piqued and their spirits high, the group continued their training, eager to explore the full extent of Ritsuka's powers and the mysteries of the shadow realm.

As they observed Ritsuka's new abilities, a sense of intrigue filled the minds of Edmond, Sigurd, Tametomo, and the ten shadow.

"This is unexpected," Edmond remarked, his gaze fixed on Ritsuka. "He continues to surprise us with each new development."

Sigurd nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting a mixture of admiration and curiosity. "Indeed. It seems there is no limit to his potential."

Tametomo, the newest addition to Ritsuka's roster of servants, watched intently, his mohawk bristling with anticipation. "I look forward to seeing how he harnesses these powers in battle," he said, eager to test his own skills alongside Ritsuka's newfound abilities.

They knew that with each passing day, Ritsuka was becoming more formidable, and they were honored to stand by his side as he journeyed further into the depths of his power.

Meanwhile back with Ritsuka, he spread his shadow all around the ground, with one thought hundred of hands cane out

As Ritsuka experimented with his newfound power, he marveled at the versatility it offered. With a mere thought, he could manipulate his shadow into various forms and shapes, each one more intricate than the last.

"Remarkable," Ayaka remarked, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched Ritsuka's display of control over his shadow. "It's as if your imagination is the only limit to what you can create."

Ritsuka nodded, his concentration unwavering as he continued to shape and mold his shadow into different constructs. "It's incredible," he agreed. "I never imagined I could have this much control over my own shadow."

Ciel, Caren, and Aozkai observed with keen interest, each one contemplating the implications of Ritsuka's newfound abilities. They knew that with such power at his disposal, Ritsuka would be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

As Ritsuka delved deeper into his exploration of Umbral Summons, the possibilities seemed endless, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of what he could achieve with his newfound power.

Still I wanna thank the ten shadow. Ritsuka said looking at them. With out then I won't have this power

Ritsuka's expression softened as he turned his gaze towards the ten shadows. They stood before him, silent and watchful, their loyalty unwavering despite the dangers they had faced together.

"I owe a debt of gratitude to each of you," Ritsuka said, his voice sincere. "Without your guidance and support, I wouldn't be standing here today, wielding this incredible power."

The ten shadows nodded in acknowledgment. Though they rarely spoke, their presence was a constant reminder of the bond they shared with Ritsuka, forged through battles and trials.

"We are bound to you, Master," one of the shadows murmured, its voice a whisper on the edge of Ritsuka's consciousness. "Together, we shall overcome any obstacle that stands in our way."

Ritsuka smiled, a sense of gratitude swelling within him. With the ten shadows by his side, he knew that he could face whatever challenges lay ahead, confident in the strength of their unity.

Ritsuka nodded, his gaze never wavering from the puppet before him. With each passing moment, he felt his perception sharpening, his awareness expanding to encompass every subtle shift in the puppet's form.
