Chapter 29: “First week”
In the Kidō there are 3 levels. The first of them is the Kidō Practitioner: at this level, the person possesses basic knowledge of Kidō. They can use Kidō of low to medium levels without enchantment but have difficulty using high-level spells. The second is Kidō Expert: the person shows considerable knowledge of Kidō and its various forms. They can use medium level spells to great effect even without enchantment, even though they generally use high level enchantment to ensure maximum potency.
In the bleach world, most lieutenants and captains possess this level of Kidō skill. And lastly the Kidō Master, the person shows great knowledge of Kidō and its various forms. He can use high-level spells to great effect even without enchantment and can use several spells in quick succession. In addition, his skill allows him to create his spells or modify existing spells to suit his purposes.
Bleach's Yamamoto was a Kidō Master, so Yamamoto in this world wants to reach the same level, though it will most likely take him a long time. As for Olvia and Robin, he doesn't know what level they can reach.
Also keep in mind that Bleach's power levels are not identical to this one, even so, it is another world and the limits are different, so anything can happen.
According to the "Basic Manual of Reiryoku" the "Awakening of the Inner Spirit" training for beginners has a duration between 1 to 2 years for people with no level of Spiritual Power like Olvia and Robin.
This depends not only on the level of Spiritual Power but also on discipline, learning ability, and overcoming emotional challenges, so perhaps either of them can finish it in less time.
On Yamamoto's part, he also has a low spiritual level of only 5 points, his difference is that he possesses the Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryūsai template, which gives him a talent that is one of the best in the Bleach world. In addition, to complement it he has the system, so he can raise points to his Spirit Power, although for this he will need to put his life at risk by fulfilling missions or killing powerful enemies.
This does not mean that his power will grow by itself, he will have to train like everyone else, but he has so to speak a better bloodline, like for example Big Mom who as a child already had a monstrous strength.
*I should pay attention to Robin and Olvia's training, and help them improve* thought Yamamoto with a serious expression.
These days he understood that to fight against the World Government he needs powerful allies and the way he has now to get strong companions is to train them himself, and better if they are talented like Robin and Olvia.
In his current group, the only one who can fight is Saul and he is still not very strong, though this only he knows, *We must increase our overall strength* thought Yamamoto as he devised a plan in his head for Robin and Olvia's training.
"Well since they managed to complete the first exercise, I will explain the second exercise wake up Robin," said Yamamoto.
Olvia hesitated a bit to wake up Robin, but seeing Yamamoto's serious expression she decided to wake her up carefully. Yamamoto didn't want to waste time, if they wanted to face the Marine and the World Government they had to get stronger.
Robin opened her eyes wearily. Olvia quickly explained that Yamamoto would teach them the next training exercise and Robin's tired face disappeared for a serious expression with some excitement to learn, *That's the attitude* thought Yamamoto with satisfaction.
He then explained the 2nd exercise to focus the internal energy, giving them a very detailed explanation and guiding them with patience so that they could understand the exercise 100%. After about 15 minutes when they asked Yamamoto some questions which he solved, he left them alone so they could concentrate. In this exercise he took about 20 minutes, so according to the times they were told it will take them a little longer than the first exercise.
Upon returning to the village Yamamoto was intercepted by Apis who asked him to cook meat for the puppies, so he had no choice but to do it, since Bokuden was creating the elixir of the dragon bone and the archaeologists were still studying like crazy.
*They eat well to get stronger every day...* thought Yamamoto as he watched Apis feed the cubs who ate the rich meat of the Sea King with great energy.
He was also to make a training plan for Apis' fruit to become stronger so that she could have a large amount of tame wild animals. So he decided that after training, he would be in charge of training Robin, Apis, and Olvia.
Day 2 of week 1 of his training ended with nothing more important to report. The next morning he woke up early as usual and started his training after having his plate of Sea King meat for breakfast, *Luckily that Sea King was big* thought Yamamoto.
Other than him, the 3 puppies joined the Sea King meat diet, so he estimate that the big Sea King that Saul hunted will last them 1 or 2 months, as for the archaeologists and they eat the food they found on Nelson's boat which is much more balanced.
His training on day 3 was the same as the previous day, only that he noticed slight improvements in several exercises. After that, he began to guide Olvia and Robin in the Spiritual Power training by giving them the third exercise.
While Olvia and Robin were arduously training exercises 1, 2, and 3, he went to look for Apis to start his training and to improve her mastery of devil fruit.
From what he understood this fruit allows Apis to communicate with animals mentally, but this does not allow her to control them. So it is not a fruit of great power, as it is only good for talking to animals. However, if you use it to befriend animals and create a great connection with them, they will protect you as when her bird friend named Milo saved her from Nelson and his henchmen. To achieve such a thing it is best to communicate with small animals.
As for Ryu, he was an exception since he was a very kind dragon and he was not in his best condition, because if he had been, he would never have tried to communicate with a human.
Yamamoto wants Apis to improve the range of her communication, the higher she is, she will be able to communicate at a greater distance, and they will be able to pass her information without the need to be next to her or a few meters away.
For this he first did tests with Milo and Dama, the range was quite high since when Dama guided them through the fog she was in the heights and Apis guided them from the boat, even so, Yamamoto wanted the range to increase.
The training he did for Apis was simple, by blindfolding her he made her walk in the forest and in order not to crash Milo should from a height that increased little by little should tell her the way so that she would not crash. This while he supervised her so that she would not hurt herself.
To Yamamoto's surprise, Apis was very enthusiastic about this training, since it was about her power and she was able to spend a long time doing the exercise.
So the days went by and Yamamoto reached day 7, the last day of week 1, which was the same as the previous ones. Having finished his training, and that of Apis and the others, Yamamoto was about to see if this week he made any gains in his stats.
This week he was not watching the status sale with his stats, as he was very focused on his training writing down absolutely everything, and taking over the training from Olvia, Robin, and Apis.
As for his speed and endurance training on the first run, he does of the day, he managed to increase from 40km to 45km in approximately 2 hours. He kept the time he ran before, only he managed to run more km which means his speed and endurance improved. In the second circuit, he did on day 1, he was already tired after an hour and a half, however, now he could run for 2 hours. As for the hour he ran on the beach he also managed to increase the kilometers from 12km to 15km.
In the beginner training "Awakening the Spirit Within" he continued to be in phase 1 only he moved to the second point which has specific breathing techniques to harmonize the body and mind with the flow of spiritual energy, although he also continued to practice the energy sensitization exercises making his training last more than 10 hours total.
Lastly, in his devil fruit training, he got his fire fist to easily destroy large rocks and he was only at a beginner level. He also improved a lot in his speed to become intangible and felt that the temperature of his flame increased compared to the first day.
*It was a good week of progress* thought Yamamoto while comparing day 1 and day 7 in his book.
*System open status window* commanded Yamamoto in his mind.
The pale blue interface of the system was displayed in front of his eyes:
[ Name: Fudo D. Yamamoto
Template: Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryūsai
Progress: 10.5%
Merit points = 600
Skill points = 0
Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi
Devil Fruit Mastery = Beginner 41/100
Physical strength = [18]
Endurance = [10]
Defense = [17]
Intelligence = [10]
Speed = [10]
Spiritual Power = [5]
Time of life = 8 years...
Skills: [
-Hohō = [1/50 basic]
-Hakuda = [1/50 basic]]
-Kidō = [1/50 basic]]
]
He noticed that the only statistic that went up was his mastery of devil fruit, it went from 33 points to 41, that is to say, that he went up about 8 points, even so, these points were not of the same value as in the other statistics, but each point was worth 0.1 of 1 point of the other statistics.
Seeing that only one statistic went up Yamamoto was not disappointed, *It's only been 1 week, I must keep training with the same intensity* thought Yamamoto.
He knew that his training was going in the right direction, as he improved his times from day 1 compared to day 7. In addition, his devil fruit mastery showed a great evolution considering that the previous owner of this body had only 12 points.
Yamamoto closed the system status window and started to cook his dinner for him and Hocha who were still studying in the library, *They take studying seriously...* thought Yamamoto with how late Hocha was.
Then he would go to sleep and start the second week. As he was serving dinner, he heard someone knocking on his door.
Knock, knock.
