Chapter 6: My Normal Daily Routine I
......
I'm standing in a large dark room with no source of light to be seen, the room is specifically designed so that ordinary people won't be able to see anything.
Suddenly I moved my head just a little bit to the right and lift my left leg up, then I hear the sound of objects hitting the walls.
Two dark orbs, one hit the wall behind me while the other one hit the wall in front of me, I can see them clearly, I can see everything clearly.
This is one type of training I did for the past six months, it's designed to grow the ability to see in the dark and also to heighten a person's sensorial ability, after all, I can't see the balls coming from behind me but I can sense them.
The two balls previously were just warm-ups. Instantly after that, I can sense several balls coming from every direction though some of them aren't coming in my direction.
I instantly crouched while bringing my head behind me, leaning until my head almost touched the floor and also using my left hand to keep my balance while also lifting my right leg up.
You see, the room is designed with several holes in every wall from which the balls are sent and only a few sets of positions could let you avoid them so one has to determine which one to use.
I didn't have a problem with this training considering my sensorial ability and the fact that I've been training multi-tasking for a while.
The problem lies in when they increase my clothing weight every month since it takes me a while to adapt and move freely with the extra weight at the beginning of each month. So far my current clothing weight 40 kg.
Anyway back to my normal daily routine, I train in this room an hour every day, and spending one hour in the dark every day is much harder than what one might think.
Suddenly the door opened signaling that an hour has passed, I calmed down my breathing and then went out.
I found Illumi waiting outside for his turn, and like always we just nod at each other and go our separate ways, anyway, to my next training.
In front of me is a simple pool which I directly jump into, all I have to do is to hold my breath as long as I can.
Of course, there is a servant beside the pool making sure by the end of the month I go beyond the last record I set which is 4 minutes and 52 seconds by at least 10 seconds.
Though I make sure to push myself as hard as I can. I also use my time here to train my heart control and so far, I got it to 35 bpm (beats per minute) though it's getting harder and harder to get my bpm any lower.
And just like that 5 minutes and 11 seconds passed before I reached my limit and although I tried to persist more, my 2 years old body just won't allow it.
Still, all this training will build a strong foundation for my future, now to my next training.
If I had to guess, then Nen training will probably start after coming back from heavens arena, the reason they didn't teach Killua Nen after he came back is probably due to his emotional state.
After all, he is too emotional for an assassin, they likely didn't want to lose control over him which end up happing anyway, but I don't have that problem.
I never killed anyone before so I don't know how I'll feel though what I'm sure about is that I won't sheer any tears, it's likely that I won't even feel bad about it.
I had a lot of time to think in the first year of my birth and I used a lot of it to think about myself.
I was honestly trying to reach enlightenment as Netero did, it didn't hurt to try but I didn't succeed, though I got to know myself better.
I was never someone to feel anything when someone I'm not close to dies even distant relatives.
I found it hard to grow feelings for anyone, in fact, I didn't even try. I don't think I can ever trade my life for anyone, I'm too selfish for that.
I guess the only difference between a stranger dying and killing someone is that I'll be the one to end the person's life.
I ended my line of thoughts as I reached the play area, I directly started running without saying anything to Hassam who's standing there motionlessly waiting for my arrival as always.
Though he started running after me until he passed by me then started executing a specific set of steps while still running.
'Rhythm Echo' Through a varying cadence of steps, a person can create afterimages of himself to confuse his enemy.
He pretty much always perform many different assassinations techniques in front of me for me to imitate him, and it helped me perfect shadow steps even more.
I'm pretty much able to use the technique directly even when they increase the clothing weights though I'm still working on making every action of mine silent, Rythm echo isn't that hard but I'm still trying to perfect it.
He did perform transforming his fingernails into razor-sharp claws but I can't seem to be able to do it.
I can control my blood flow and muscle a little though nowhere near enough to perform the same feat, I think there is a specific training method to achieve it.
Anyway, I continued with a cycle of running, push-ups, pull-ups, and so on, I know that I got stronger since I can run comfortably in 40 kg clothing but I can never really test myself since I'm practically wearing weights all the time.
I couldn't help but let out a grin, I'm really looking forward to when I take them off, to see how fast I've become.
I always finish my training by lunchtime, food is a pleasure I can't say no to, that's why I make sure to eat as much as I can, unlike sleep.
I just think sleep is a waste of time, that's why I'm trying to build resistance to it, and of course the food is poisoned.....
