Author's Note: I have went a head and rewritten the Gege chapter, that will no longer be apart of this story, go reread that chapter to know what's up
"Again"
I groaned from the floor, this was the 8th time Kusakabe had knocked me down in the past 10 minutes. Kusakabe was brutal, He had requirements I had to meet before he would teach me the simple domain, One of those requirements was the skill of fighting in hand-to-hand combat.
I did not meet his expectations.
I had originally thought that I was good in that respect but, the only thing that had allowed for my survival was my superior strength and even then there were many close calls with me almost dying twice. So Kusakabe easily beat me into the ground, he was training me in an adapted form of Muay Thai. Attacks in this style of combat mainly focused on hitting with the hands, legs, elbows, and shins. The way it was different from regular muay Thai was the incorporation of cursed energy.
When fighting, one is supposed to divert his cursed energy evenly amongst their hands, elbows, legs, and shins. This lead to increased physical capabilities as the areas were both physically stringer but also more durable, utilizing Cursed energy reinforcement, You end up multiplying the power in the blow immensely.
Unfortunately, Kusakabe decided that the only way for me to learn how to do it was to fight against him while he used it and I would pick it up. While it was a painful method, it was apparently working, I had started to emulate the way he punched and the ways his cursed energy flowed around his body. So I pushed myself from the floor and put my hands up.
"Begin"
I stepped forward, pulled my right arm backwards and swung but it was not the same as my punches had been before. This time, I leaned on front leg, twisted my foot minutely, shifted my center of gravity to a more Ideal position. Kusakabe Diverted my strike by slapping my arm with his own, He stepped inside my guard and elbowed the area on the inside of my arm across from the elbow, forcing it to bend, he then gave me an uppercut. If it hadn't been for him grabbing my shirt collar, then I would have been launched backwards, instead he moved his hands to the sides of my head and brought it down onto his rising knee.
I stumbled back but he wouldn't let me, He kicked my left knee and grabbed my right arm, while I was wobbling around he pulled me forward and jabbed his elbow into my neck. He let me go after that and I fell to the ground, panting.
"Again"
I got up and got into position, this time he didn't wait for me and just punched me. A simple elbow to the liver and two kicks ;ed to me on the ground.
"Again"
I got up.
"Again"
I got up.
"Again"
On and on it went until the hour off time he had set aside for me came to an end. As he walked away from the training grounds I threw up a hand.
"Don't forget to practice what you learned today!"
'Bastard'
Personally, watching him beat you up was both sad and funny
'Your words hurt'
Whatever
Even though he wasn't a physical being anymore, I could feel the boredom that he had been radiating for the hour I had been getting my ass tossed around. I guess doing nothing all day will get boring eventually. I might have to see if there was anything I could do for him. Not now though, I've got a rather important question that was going to be answered in 3 days and I needed to prepare for the worst.
Currently, I had around 70,000 yen, it wasn't much to live of off for long but it would work out if I really did need to leave. Being a Jujutsu sorcerer/student paid decently but I hadn't been here long enough to start making large amounts of money.
As I wandered back towards the showers, something that had crossed my mind before popped back into my head. With a groan I turned around and ran in the direction of the warehouse that had stored the cursed wombs. It was a long shot considering we know where it probably was but maybe, just maybe, it would be there.
As I entered the warehouse, I quickly looked around for what I was looking for.
I saw everything from swords to spears to shields, but the sword I was looking for was nowhere to be found.
"No dice then aye"
"That depends on what your looking for"
I jumped at the sound of his voice, turning I saw the form of Gojo, looking at me with an unreadable expression.
"I'm looking for a particular sword"
Gojo merely hummed at that before walking past me and into the section with swords.
"There's no point I already checked there"
"That doesn't mean you can't get started on learning how to use a sword"
When Gojo turned, I saw him holding 2 Bokken, he threw one at me and walked outside. I couldn't help but grumble.
'First Kusakabe, now Gojo?'
You're getting another ass kicking already? I'm going to enjoy this
'...Bastard'
When I left the warehouse, I saw Gojo holding his bokken and he postured for me to begin.
I breathed in, clenched my hands on the bokken and swung it at him.
.
I got my ass beat. He merely gestured for me to go again.
Today was just so fun.
Author's Note:
So, we've got a training session between both Gojo and Kusakabe, Soon, Haruta will start fighting superiorly to his previous attempts. Feal free to leave a potential name for Haruta's Shikigami as a Review.
Miracles: 6 (3/11)
