Not long after.
In the central space of the warehouse.
"Hachi, please set up a triple-layered barrier, the special training is about to begin," Shinji said as he pointed to his bucket hat and snapped his fingers towards the rear.
"Huh, a triple-layered barrier? Are you sure it's necessary?" Hachigen spoke, his pink mustache above his lips quivering, oddly cute.
"Of course! We agreed on hellish training, so we can't afford to be careless. At least we should make it look convincing so that Katsuki can feel our enthusiasm," Shinji yawned and deliberately turned his body towards Katsuki, winking as if implying something.
What the heck!
What's with this triple-layered barrier!
Who wants to be greeted like this?
"Katsuki, you'll have eight hours of high-intensity training every day. This is a rare opportunity," Mashiro said eagerly, ready to be the first to go and give Katsuki a hard time.
"Mashiro, we just discussed this. You'll have to wait your turn," Lisa put down her book and flipped her off.
Even though others were between them, Katsuki chose to ignore them,
"Alright, you guys, quiet down. I'll be going first. Katsuki, are you ready?" Hiyori interrupted the arguments and gently hopped over to Kisuke's side.
"Okay, besides the triple-layered barrier, I've also set up a shielding barrier. The shields won't let any Reiatsu fluctuations outside. You can release your Reiatsu without worry," Hachigen wiped the sweat from his forehead. Setting up the barrier wasn't difficult, but it did consume some of his own Reiatsu.
"All right, we're finally ready," Shinji said, adjusting his bucket hat. He shot a peculiar smile at Katsuki, "Katsuki, are you ready? The special training is about to begin."
"I'm ready."
Katsuki's gaze swept across every face, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He couldn't wait to start the special training!
"Blockhead, don't be too confident. I won't go easy on you," Hiyori's expression became serious, and a powerful aura enveloped every corner of the triple-layered barrier.
"Be prepared to get knocked down!"
---
Not long after.
Inside the triple-layered barrier, insults echoed continuously.
"Too slow! Your speed is as slow as a snail's crawl. How are you going to attack the enemy like that? You'd be dead a hundred times over in a real battle."
"Have you eaten? Your sword swings are so weak. Forget facing a Gillian, you probably can't even cut tofu."
"Why bother with high-speed techniques? You can't even block my punches. How are you going to endure the next seven hours? If you can't handle it, I suggest giving up now."
Hiyori's voice echoed incessantly.
Even though she wasn't taking it too seriously, she effortlessly hung Katsuki up and beat him.
Especially her signature flying sandals, they had given Katsuki a tough time several times. The special training had only been going on for half an hour, and Katsuki was already struggling.
'Isn't this a bit too harsh? What happened to the care and sympathy among teammates?' Katsuki panted and collapsed to the ground. His arms were covered in red sandal marks, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart.
At the beginning of the special training, Hiyori immediately launched a fierce offensive.
Reiatsu, Shunpo, Zanjutsu, Hakuda...
Even without using Zanpakuto and Kido, she launched a variety of punishing moves, running Katsuki through the wringer.
If it were anyone else, they'd probably have passed out already.
But Katsuki was different!
[Ding! Detected Shunpo attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
[Ding! Detected Reiatsu attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
[Ding! Detected Zanjutsu attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
[Ding! Detected Hakuda attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
...
Just as Katsuki couldn't get up.
The system alert sounded like free candy.
Katsuki was ecstatic!
He might make small gains.
But he'd never give up!
[Ding! Host gained +10 Shunpo]
[Ding! Host gained +10 Reiatsu]
[Ding! Host gained +10 Zanjutsu]
[Ding! Host gained +10 Hakuda]
A series of system notifications felt like an exhilarating, forbidden drug, instantly making Katsuki excited.
"I didn't expect it! The more hyped you make it, the stronger I become. This special training seems tailor-made for me." Katsuki looked at his status panel, excitement flashing in his eyes.
After picking up a bunch of attribute orbs, his stats had changed significantly.
[Host]: Homura Katsuki
[Strength]: 328.8
[Agility]: 276
[Reiatsu]: 236
Hakuda: 160
Shunpo: 143
Zanjutsu: 154
Spirit: 10
Abilities: ●Six-Rod Light Restraint, ●High-Speed Regeneration
"Truly worthy of a former Lieutenant of a century ago. Just half an hour of special training has significantly boosted my attributes." The extent of the attribute increase far exceeded Katsuki's expectations, giving him immense surprise and delight.
It's not hard to imagine that after seven hours, his strength would increase several times over!
Mashiro leaned on her chin, looking at the fallen Katsuki with some pity, "Poor Katsuki, you've been knocked down and can't move. Couldn't Hiyori go a little easier on you?"
"It's a bit pitiful, but I find it strange. Katsuki seems to have gotten much stronger!" Lisa furrowed her brow in confusion.
"Hmm, yeah, you're right."
Mashiro sensed carefully, narrowing her eyes in puzzlement, "He almost had his bones shattered just now, but his aura has become stronger. What's going on?"
