Kapitel 157: Chapter 156: Radar!
At four in the afternoon, the day's patrol officially ended, and Edgeshot managed to shoot two rabbits during their return.
Without wasting time, he carried the rabbits straight into the kitchen.
"Huh? Do we really need to start dinner this early?" Kaminari asked from the kitchen doorway, watching Edgeshot wash his hands. He remembered that dinner had been served at six the previous evening.
"From now on, eat as quickly as you can. I'll teach you the 'shuriken technique' during dinner."
Edgeshot replied quietly, keeping his focus on preparing the rabbits.
"All right…"
Kaminari understood his eagerness to teach the shuriken technique. It was clear Edgeshot's impatience stemmed from his passion for ninjutsu.
"You should head to the bamboo poles and keep practicing your meditation. I'll call you when it's ready."
"Got it," Kaminari nodded before walking away from the kitchen. Watching someone butcher rabbits wasn't his idea of a good time anyway.
---
With a quick leap, Kaminari landed lightly on the narrow bamboo pole, balancing on one foot. Closing his eyes, he focused on his breathing, slowing it down in rhythm.
Thud!
Before long, he lost balance and fell. But Kaminari said nothing, didn't even brush the dirt off his clothes, and immediately climbed back onto the bamboo pole.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
It happened again and again, he would hear the sound of blood rushing in his ears, but he'd lose focus and fall. Yet, Kaminari kept going without a word, silently persevering.
By the time Edgeshot called him forty minutes later for dinner, Kaminari's face was covered in dirt, and his Cancer's Golden Cloth looked even darker from all the dust.
"You'd better wash up first. There's no way I'm letting you into the kitchen looking like that," Edgeshot said, shaking his head before turning back to the kitchen to focus on his shuriken training plans.
---
In the small bathroom of Kaminari's wooden cabin, warm water ran down his body, filling the room with steam. Kaminari stood beneath the showerhead, deep in thought.
"Why am I not making progress? Am I not practicing enough, or is this just a limitation of my natural talent when it comes to spiritual techniques?"
His mind kept replaying Edgeshot's instructions. "He said the next step after hearing blood flow is to sense the trembling of your muscles. But muscles don't move on their own, it must be the nerves moving them!"
"So what I really need to sense is the subtle vibrations of my nerves. But normal nerve tremors are so faint that they're practically impossible to detect."
"That's why countless hours of meditation are necessary, to gradually strengthen your mind until, one day, you can finally sense those faint nerve tremors."
Kaminari's golden eyes suddenly opened, and a strange glint flickered in them.
"But those steps are for normal people, people who can only cultivate their spirit indirectly. I'm not normal."
"I can accelerate the conduction speed of my nerves using electricity, forcing them to 'move' artificially!"
"If I combine that with meditation… it should work!"
Kaminari's face lit up with determination. Turning off the shower, he used a quick burst of electricity to evaporate the water on his body. In an instant, he was dry.
BAM!
Throwing on his clothes, he kicked open the door and ignored the tantalizing smell of roasted rabbit wafting through the air. Instead, he headed straight for the bamboo poles.
---
Edgeshot heard the commotion and stepped out of the kitchen, raising an eyebrow as he saw Kaminari leaping onto the bamboo pole again.
He didn't ask any questions or insist Kaminari join him for dinner, something about the boy's demeanor stopped him. Kaminari was clearly in an unusual state of focus.
And then it happened.
KZZZZZT!
Kaminari entered a familiar high-voltage state, golden electricity crackling around his body. The Cancer's Golden Cloth sparkled brightly, glowing under the electric currents as though it had been equipped with its own lighting system.
Meanwhile, Kaminari's excitement soared. He heard it, something different from the sound of blood flow.
It was faint, like a heartbeat, but quieter and more numerous.
"Not enough!"
"The nerve conduction speed is still too slow!"
"High-voltage mode—activate!"
KRAK-BOOM!
Golden light exploded from Kaminari's body, intensifying the electricity coursing through him. The previously scattered currents coalesced, forming radiant flames that rose around him. His blonde hair stood on end, shimmering like metallic blades.
There it is!
He heard it—countless tiny drumbeats. It was the sound of his nerves trembling throughout his body.
"Wait… why haven't I fallen asleep yet?" Kaminari suddenly realized.
Then it hit him.
"It's the sounds—the rushing, rhythmic sounds are keeping me awake!"
"But my body… under the influence of the breathing technique, it's already entered a deep sleep-like state."
"This is incredible. It feels like I'm observing the real world from inside a dream."
Edgeshot watched from the sidelines, his jaw slightly slack.
"What the hell is this?"
"I practiced for half a year just to reach this level, and this kid manages it in two days?"
"Master always said I was a 'ninjutsu genius'… but what does that make this kid?!"
Edgeshot wasn't one to feel envious, but this was pushing him to his limits. He quickly collected himself, though, and began observing Kaminari more carefully.
"No… he didn't rely solely on his own senses to enter this state. He's using his Quirk to force it."
"But Kaminari's Quirk is electricity… or does he have some kind of spiritual ability hidden in there?"
Meanwhile, Kaminari made another discovery.
"Wait… what's this?"
He noticed invisible ripples radiating outward from his body. They should have been imperceptible, but in his current state, he could sense them clearly.
"They look like… magnetic field lines."
His studies with Momo on electromagnetics suddenly came to mind, and the knowledge clicked into place.
"It is a magnetic field!"
"These ripples are magnetic fields generated by the high-voltage electricity running through my body!"
"In this state, I can actually perceive the presence of magnetic fields."
His thoughts raced. If he could feel his own magnetic field, could he extend his awareness to detect the fields of other people or objects? By emitting weak radio waves, he might be able to sense everything around him.
"In theory, every object has a magnetic field. But right now, I can only sense larger ones, like those produced by living beings."
Kaminari tested his hypothesis by actively spreading faint radio waves outward. Soon enough, he detected a significant magnetic field about fifteen meters away.
"I can't believe it!"
"The combination of meditation and radio waves has created something like a radar!"

Kapitel 158: Chapter 157: First Hands with Shuriken
Thinking about his newfound "radar" ability, Kaminari couldn't help but recall the technique used by Enel, the Thunder God from One Piece.
That technique, which combined radio waves and Observation Haki, allowed Enel to detect movements and even eavesdrop over vast distances.
"Seems like I should try figuring that out too."
He reflected further. "Sensing other people's positions and movements using radio waves is already doable. The next step is just practice to improve precision."
But then another problem came to mind. "What about hearing distant sounds? My body isn't like Enel's, and I can't automatically convert radio waves into sound waves. After all, I'm a 'lightning-type' person, not some all-powerful deity."
This question puzzled him for a while, but eventually, he let it go. Just being able to detect nearby people was already a huge step forward. He had time to work on it later.
"For now, though, I can only activate this 'radar' when I'm in a meditative state."
"I'll have to figure out a way to keep it running constantly. Otherwise, it's not as useful as it could be, it'd only really shine during rescue missions."
Muttering to himself, Kaminari hopped down from the bamboo pole, lost in thought, and slowly walked toward the kitchen.
Edgeshot, noticing Kaminari's contemplative expression, suppressed his curiosity and decided not to press him for answers. They sat in silence as they ate dinner.
By the time the two roasted rabbits had been reduced to nothing but bones, Edgeshot finally broke the silence.
"Did you achieve samadhi?"
"Yes. I think I've completed the state of 'entering concentration' you mentioned," Kaminari replied while wiping his mouth with a napkin. "But it seems I can only 'hear' and 'feel.' I can't 'interact' with my surroundings the way you can."
"Can I ask how you did it?"
"Of course. It's actually pretty simple."
Kaminari explained his method in a straightforward manner, describing how he used electric current to speed up nerve conduction.
"That kind of training method… it probably only works for lightning-type Quirks like yours, right?" Edgeshot asked, a note of disappointment in his voice. He had been hoping Kaminari had stumbled upon a universal technique.
"Probably," Kaminari admitted with a shrug, "but I can let you experience it. Who knows? Speeding up your nerve conduction might deepen your understanding of meditation."
"Oh?!"
Edgeshot's eyes lit up, and his mind flashed back to Kaminari's performance during the U.A. Sports Festival, specifically the cavalry battle where Kaminari had used his electricity to temporarily enhance his teammates' speed.
"Now that I think about it, you've done something like this before, using your electricity to boost others' reaction speed, right?"
"Exactly," Kaminari replied with a smile, placing his empty teacup on the table. "Electricity can stimulate the body's functions and enhance performance temporarily."
"In that case, let's start practicing right away!"
Excitement surged through Edgeshot as he stood up abruptly, grabbing his dishes and walking out of the small dining area. Even with his face hidden by a mask, his eagerness was clear from his body language.
Between the prospect of learning shuriken techniques and possibly advancing his meditation, Edgeshot felt like he had been transported back to his youth, when he was still learning ninjutsu under his master's guidance.
Back then, every day had been filled with the thrill of discovery. Kaminari's presence brought that feeling back, and Edgeshot couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for his student.
"This kid isn't like the others I've trained. Not only does he absorb what I teach him, but he also gives back, sharing knowledge and techniques I'd never considered before."
As they washed the dishes together, Edgeshot chuckled to himself. Then Kaminari's earlier mention of the word "master" came to mind.
"Maybe… I should think about taking him as a disciple."
"But wait—I'm only thirty!"
---
After cleaning up, the two of them left the kitchen and headed to the open training area. This time, however, they didn't go to the bamboo poles.
"Aren't we continuing with meditation?" Kaminari asked, glancing toward the row of wooden stakes in the distance.
"Not yet," Edgeshot replied calmly. "First, I'll teach you the basics of hidden weapon techniques. Once you've grasped the fundamentals, you can practice while meditating."
Edgeshot reached into his clothes and pulled out four shurikens, holding them deftly between the fingers of his right hand.
"These are star-shaped shurikens, a common type. While there are many other designs, we'll focus on the star shape for now."
Kaminari studied the black shurikens carefully. They were exactly like the ones he had seen in Naruto.
"I'll demonstrate first. Watch my hand movements closely."
Edgeshot flicked his wrist, sending the first shuriken flying through the air. It sliced through the air with a soft whoosh, followed by the second, third, and fourth in rapid succession.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Each shuriken embedded itself in the center of a wooden stake. The placements were so precise that they looked identical.
"How much of that did you catch?"
Kaminari scratched his head awkwardly. "Not much… your movements were so fast that it looked like you only moved your hand three times."
Then his eyes lit up with an idea. He ran over to the wooden stakes, pulled out the shurikens, and handed them back to Edgeshot.
"Do it again. This time, I'll record it!"
"Record it?" Edgeshot raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Kaminari grinned and looked down at his Cancer's Golden Cloth. "Pikachu!"
"Yes, Master," the robe replied in a high-pitched, childlike voice, leaving Edgeshot visibly stunned.
"When the paper-sharp shooter demonstrates the shuriken technique, record his movements in detail," Kaminari instructed.
"Understood, sir."
Kaminari turned back to Edgeshot with a satisfied smile. "Please, go ahead."
Edgeshot didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The fact that Kaminari's combat uniform had artificial intelligence was impressive but unexpected—especially for a student.
"Fine," Edgeshot said. "This time, I'll break down the movements step by step while demonstrating."
"When throwing, lower your hand slightly like this," he explained, showing the proper angle. "And when you release the shuriken, make sure your hand is accelerating through the throw."
"Watch closely."
Whoosh!
Thud!
After another perfect throw, Edgeshot handed Kaminari a shuriken.
"Your turn. Let me show you how to hold it properly. Once you've got the basics down, all that's left is practice."
"Got it!" Kaminari eagerly took the star-shaped shuriken, turning it over in his hands to feel its weight and texture.
As he stared at the weapon in his hand, he felt a surge of excitement.
"I can't believe it… I'm actually holding a real shuriken!"
"This was my childhood dream!"
