*2 weeks time skip*
In those 2 weeks I've kept on training with shigure while also still learning a bit from Kensei and sparring with Apachai. During those spars I tried to hold back my strength to make it look like I was steadily improving my body.
I knew Apachai wouldn't even notice the difference, but I didn't want Akisame to get suspicious of me. I knew he was crazy when it came to how the human body worked, so if he were to realize my body was fundamentally different than any other human I wouldn't want to find out what he'd do.
Even so I could feel everyone in the Ryozanpaku being amazed at how fast I was improving, after all in just 2 weeks I've shown very fast improvement, especially when it came to my body but also when it comes to my techniques, the Eyes of the Lord did increase my progression a lot, that coupled with the footwork skill made me pretty talented in most footworks.
In those 2 weeks I realize how amazing the Eyes of the Lord skill was, I always made use of it by watching the Ryozanpaku teachers, that's when I noticed a few things about that skill.
The Eyes of the Lord were a very helpful skill when it came to learning techniques, but what I found the most useful was its ability to help me increase the level of my skills by just observing people doing that action.
I could increase my cooking skill just by watching someone cook, I then used that to increase my footwork skill even faster, the only downside to the Eyes of the Lord skill was that it was extremely hard to gather exp for it.
But even then I still did my best to increase its level and used it for hrs every day, if not for the fact that the skill was very taxing on my stamina I would've used it way more often.
After a week Kenichi also joined on my training with Shigure, the other teachers recommended for him to join me after he met an opponent who used a knife and froze up. He apparently had some fear of sharp weapons.
That made most teachers laugh since for them a knife was nothing other than a little spoon but Shigure agreed to help him overcome that fear.
Kenichi then joined us and had to experience many small objects being thrown at him and used against him by Shigure, in that week of training with me and Shigure his fear only grew after seeing how strong Shigure was by using nothing but a simple spoon as a weapon.
Kenichi complained a lot during our time together but I knew that the training had a very great effect on him and that if he were to face the same guy who used a knife, the outcome would now be very different.
Thanks to those 2 weeks of training I could also feel like I nearly got a basic understanding of some weapons, I was close to reaching my goal for my training with Shigure and that's what made me agree to join Kenichi and Akisame on their daily training.
I wanted to take some rest and I found Akisame's training to be the closest thing to a rest.
Akisame attached a car tire to us and made us run for God knows how long. It was inhumane but with my current endurance that much was still manageable. I could keep up even better than Kenichi whose main weapon was his crazy endurance. Seeing me keep up so easily shocked both Kenichi and akisame.
I still kept on training with Shigure daily but also spent a whole week accompanying Kenichi and Akisame on their daily training. I could feel it helping me understand the limits of my own body as well as get accustomed to my current body, Akisame's training was the best opportunity for me to know my own limits.
During my spars with Apachai I noticed that I had a big problem with holding back, I didn't know how to control my own strength, such a fast increase in strength made me need to completely relearn how to use my body. luckily I knew that with Apachai it didn't matter since he wouldn't feel a thing anyway.
But I still hoped that training with akisame could help me control my body even better, I needed to gain back full control of my strength.
Now that I didn't have to worry about school I only focused on my martial arts, in my free time I simply went around the Ryozanpaku and spent some time with my teachers, that place could even be called my second home, I spent more time there than at home.
That new routine suited me way better than going to school everyday, I wonder if what happened that day was a curse or a blessing. I did lose my old way of life but I'm starting to really like this new life of mine.
"Stop this or I'll scream!" Suddenly while on our daily runs with Kenichi and akisame we heard a high school girl yelling while her and her friend were surrounded by 3 tall men. Their yell took me out of my own thoughts and made me come back to reality.
"That's izumi! She's a girl at my school!" Kenichi said worriedly.
Suddenly those gangsters turned towards us and that's when I also recognized them.
"Kenichi aren't those the gangsters we ended up beating up with Miu?" I asked him.
"What do you mean? It's all thanks to Miu I got knocked out in one hit and you took out 2 by taking them by surprise. They're too strong for us!" Kenichi went back to his habits of being cowardly and started taking a few steps back.
"You guys... You are the same ones who were with that crazy girl!" The Yakuza looked at us with a very pissed look.
They all got ready to beat us up, after taking a closer look at them I noticed that one of the 3 was the guy I took out by surprise and I could now see that he was especially set on beating me up to get revenge.
"Please leave it to me master." I said with a smile. Not only I didn't like being interrupted in the middle training but those bastards also managed to trigger a quest, and the rewards were way too good.
[Side quest:
Beating up some Yakuza. (Difficulty D)
Description:
Fight against the Yakuza and win to receive the reward.
Reward: -10 F class chest for every normal Yakuza.
-5 E class chest and 1 D class chest for beating their boss.]

*Akisame pov*
'It seems like our dear disciples had some problems with the Yakuza. Hmm Kenichi doesn't seem able to handle them, they all are around middle class disciple level. Maybe I should intervene.'
"Please leave it to me master." Right as I was about to take a step forward and save my disciples I saw Amon advancing towards the 3 gangsters with a smile on his face, it was my first time seeing him so excited.
"Master Akisame! We have to act or else Amon will get hurt" Kenichi said worriedly.
"Don't worry about him." I replied calmly.
'Amon is a low class disciple when it comes to his martial art techniques and mastery. But nobody at the dojo can deny his unbelievable physical capabilities which never seems to stop improving. His physical abilities could even match an expert level martial artist. That kid is a true monster.'
seeing my disciple advancing towards the 3 Yakuza with full confidence, I couldn't help but feel proud of him, if anything go wrong I will be intervening but I'm starting to become curious as to how strong he currently is.
"This time that little girl won't be able to save your ass" one of the gangsters said.
"True this time you won't have to feel as ashamed about getting beaten up." Amon replied with a sly smile.
Amon's taunting annoyed them even more, one of them immediately rushed towards Amon and threw a punch aimed at his face but he easily side stepped and dodged it.
"Did you get slower since last time?" My disciple said. He then threw a low kick to his knee which made him instantly fall to the ground while catching his knee and yelling in pain.
I could clearly hear the bone popping sound the moment Amon's kick landed on the man's knee. Being hit in the knee with that kid's monstrous strength was bound to hurt.
Soon after both of the gangsters ganged up on Amon and tried to beat him using their numbers to overwhelm him but this time Amon simply allowed himself to get hit by them.
He let the punch of one of them reach his stomach and easily tanked it then took that opportunity to catch his hand and punch his arm as hard as he could.
Once again I could hear that same bone popping sound before he fell straight down on the ground. That disciple of mine was truly merciless.
The last one slowly started backing down seeing that his own punch had no effect, when he realized that he might've ended up in such a state his fighting spirit was completely crushed.
"Sensei come help us!" He ran towards a black car with tinted windows and yelled out for help.
"Sensei hurry!" He started stressing out even more seeing Amon advancing towards him.
Suddenly Amon stopped in his track while looking towards the car. I took a look at where Amon's gaze was directed and noticed a 2meters tall bulky man getting out of the car.
"What a peculiar man." He was wearing a formal suit while also wearing some kind of wrestling mask.
Just from his aura I could already tell that he was at the level of an expert. the man slowly advanced towards Amon and stood right in front of him.
"Did you really call me just to take care of his little mosquito?" He asked while looking down on Amon. The man was clearly towering over him, the 30 cms height difference was very obvious.
Even then my disciple didn't even take any step back, he simply stood his ground while staying silent. I couldn't tell what he was thinking but he didn't seem scared at all.
"They say the bigger someone is, the smaller their brain gets, I'm starting to believe it's partially true." I was wrong to believe Amon would stay silent.
I couldn't help but laugh after seeing my disciple's reaction, I almost forgot that he was still a kid, It seems like he didn't appreciate the mosquito nickname.
I could clearly see the the masked man getting annoyed, he grabbed the nearby stop sign and with nothing but a kick made it bend.
After seeing that Kenichi couldn't help but feel even scared. Unlike him Amon became even more serious and got ready to fight, I recognized Ma kensei's stance in his movements.
"Sensei shouldn't you step in..." Kenichi was hiding behind a wall while observing the scene.
"Kenichi, Amon isn't as weak as you think. But if anything happen I will step in. " I knew Amon wouldn't lose that easily but I was still ready to save him at any moment.
The 2 meter tall man got into his grappling position and launched forward, he was about to get to a hold of Amon's shoulders, but a sudden kick to his stomach stopped him from advancing and made him take a step back.
"How can someone as small as you have such a strength?" The tall man was obviously shocked of the power that kick held and even I started to become curious as to how he became so strong.
But Amon didn't answer him and instead followed up with a punch, unfortunately that was a mistake, his technique was still lacking and he didn't have any experience against wrestlers.
His arm got caught by the giant who directly threw him against the wall with all his strength.
"Ugh!!" I could hear my disciple grunting, obviously annoyed at his own failure. Though the look on his eyes proved that he was still far from giving up.
His opponents was way more experienced than him in fighting, and that's why right after throwing him he immediately rushed towards him and punched him many times in the face.
I was about to act after seeing that my disciple was getting beaten up but to my surprise he reacted by hitting the man with another kick aimed at his leg, the strength of the kick made the gangster drop on one knee.
"Are you trying to propose to me?" Amon mocked him once again. If my disciple still had time to joke around like that it meant he was still doing fine.
He hit the man with another kick towards his face while he was down but this time the wrestler expected it and managed to block it.
The masked wrestler stood up and was about to throw another punch at Amon's face, at the same time, out of seemingly nowhere 2 Shuriken were thrown and aimed at the man's shoulders.
He managed to dodge one of them but the second hit his left arm, that was enough limit his fighting abilities a lot. A wrestlers techniques would be way less effective with only one working hand so I had to applaud my disciple for thinking about that.
But before he could realize that he received a sudden high kick towards that same arm. Amon was determined to make him unable to use that arm anymore.
"AHHH!" The bulky man started screaming and fell down to the ground from the pain.
But once again he was given no time to rest, Amon followed up by another kick aimed at his face, this time it hit him right in the temple and totally knocked him out.
"He- he beat him?" Kenichi couldn't believe his eyes.
"Those Shiruken? is that something you learnt from Shigure?" I asked him out of curiosity.
He simply nodded and laid down tiredly on the ground. "Those 2 were a gift she gave me a week ago."
For someone with a technique barely capable of being called at the top of the low discipline class to be able to beat an expert? That was my first time ever hearing of something so absurd.
He even took many hits to the face and got thrown against a wall by a man way bigger than him but he still managed to stay calm enough to come up with a way to outsmart his opponent and in the end he found a way to beat him.
'He's without a doubt an amazing disciple. It seems like the Ryozanpaku dojo have yet another common sense defying monster. Hahahaha'
