The training room was usually empty as the only person who trained here was Lucien or Zelilios. And as Zelilios was today somewhere in the city, probably hunting and killing some ghoul investigators for fun, it was guaranteed today it would be empty.
"Go and change into the training attire. There is already one prepared for you."
Lucien ordered as he pointed at the little box where specially created training attire was stored.
It was the same attire that Noble Ghouls were using during training and sparring on Blood Island.
She was changed rather quickly and arrived at the training room, where Lucien was already waiting for her, too clothed in the same training attire.
Lucien scanned her entire figure, and he noticed that she was somewhat attractive.
Even though she was only seventeen years old, her figure was many times better than the rest of her peers. Touka noticed that Lucine was literary staring at her, to which she had a slight blush on her face.
"Now, we could start. The first thing you need to do is to attack me with all your power, but without the use of the kagune or turning on your kakugan. I want to see your base power without any boost or something."
Touka nodded her head as she rushed at Lucien and kicked him with full power. She was best at kicking, and her punching skills weren't that bad, at least for ordinary ghouls. Lucien caught her kick with his right hand as he chuckled.
"Your power could be barely passable if you fight against humans. Now show me your kakugan and attack."
Then Touka turned on her kakugan and congealed her kagune. She had a Ukaku-type kagune and managed to congeal only one wing. The second was incomparably smaller, as it couldn't even be called a wing.
"Hmm, incomplete one."
Commented Lucien when he saw her ukaku wing. She would probably need several years to develop complete wings until the second wing is properly grown. Fortunately, with this, Lucien could help her by letting her eat some of the blood essences infused with his blood.
"Attack."
Commanded Lucien as Touka started shooting those crystals generated by her ukaku kagune at Lucien. In his eyes, they were so weak that he was blocking them with his body only. He was already on in later Stars, so blocking crystals generated by an ordinary ghoul is nothing to him.
Lucien observed how she was attacking and her battle style, if we could call it that. It was unrefined, and the only thing she could do was kick and punch, nothing more. The use of her kagune was bad at best. After a short time, he already had some opinions and how to train her.
"You could stop."
Both of them stopped and sat down on the ground. Lucien then started thinking about what to say about her strength, which was almost non-existent. Fortunately for her, Lucien would be able to enhance her strength greatly.
"I am going to search for suitable martial arts for you to train in. You need to be able to attack and defend effectively and not only kick and punch as you see fit."
After that, he departed for around ten minutes.
Then he returned with some book on martial arts which perfectly suited her. He gave her the book and explained everything she needed to know about that.
Then he took out a small glass vial filled with blood-red beads and blood essences and gave them to Touka.
"Eat one of those each day after training. They would help you to increase your RC Level by much, and thus your kagune would be many times stronger. Your RC Level is pitifully low."
The only way for ordinary ghouls to increase their RC Level by some significant amount was by eating other ghouls, but apparently, Touka never practiced cannibalism. When RC Level is very low, then the kagune is smaller and weaker. Still, with the help of the blood essences, her RC Level would increase significantly. After some time, she may even develop Kakuja.
"What are those?"
Asked Touka after Lucien handed her the vial with the blood essences.
"They are called blood essences; they are used to increase RC Level and also in the long term you would develop Kakuja."
She was shocked to the core, hearing that something like the blood essences existed because they could increase the RC Leven and even help you to develop the Kakuja. This was something totally unheard of for an ordinary ghoul; it was closer to magic or something like that.
"And also drink this; after that, your kagune will be completely developed. I have seen that your kagune is still in the phase of growth, probably because of your low RC Level, so this could help you close that distance and also enhance your entire strength."
He said after giving her one vial filled with his blood.
ňBlood of the Noble Ghoul had very magical effects on ordinary ghouls. He already gave one vial to Arima to stop his blinding process and improve his health more, so he could still hold on. Unfortunately, because he was a half-human, it won't be that useful to him in the long term.
Compared to him, Touka was different as she was a pure-blooded ghoul. The effect of blood from the Nobler Ghoul would have huge meaning, either in the short-term or the long-term.
When she saw that vial of blood, even though she didn't know what it was, she felt a very strong attraction toward the blood of the Ghoul King. Like it was something natural, a natural reaction.
"It would help me complete the growth of my kagune for real?"
She was aware of the fact that her kagune was still underdeveloped because her RC Level was low, but now it could be solved by drinking one bottle of blood. She didn't know why, but she trusted Lucien even though she couldn't answer that.
