Early in the morning, Rikimaru and Jinsol were training. "You're getting stronger quickly," said Jinsol.
"I owe it to my master," said Rikimaru with a grin. He was out of breath, wiping his sweat with his hand, then started drinking water from a bucket with a ladle.
Jinsol approached him and gave a friendly pat on his shoulder. "You need rest, that's enough for today," he said. Rikimaru nodded in agreement, he was truly exhausted.
"When are we leaving?" asked Rikimaru. This matter had made him quite tense, as he hadn't left this region for many years.
Jinsol walked over to Rikimaru and sat down. "We still have a few days," he said.
"I wonder when we'll fight Soma?" Rikimaru wondered to himself. He stood up and began removing his training clothes. His muscle mass had increased considerably; he had an agile and muscular body.
