[ A week later ]
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
A small squirrel poked its head out of its burrow while its black eyes were filled with caution and fear, He heard an annoying sound coming from nearby so he went out to check his surroundings and see what was going on, With small steps by his short legs, the squirrel crept quietly until he came close to reaching the ground, But he suddenly stopped and hid among the leaves of the tree where he lives.

The squirrel's black eyes reflect a little boy hitting the tree with his index finger, Arthur's blows were very fast and every time he sent his finger in an attack drops of blood and sweat flew from his hand.
"That should be enough for today " Arthur pulled out his finger that was jammed into the tree trunk, and headed back towards his little hut.
When the little squirrel found that the annoying human had left his territory, He gathered his courage and got down from the tree to see what that man had done to his beloved tree.
With a few quick steps the squirrel reached an area full of holes, The tree trunk was barely standing and if Arthur made ten more blows the tree would have fallen, the squirrel angrily raised his head and began to inspect his surroundings to find all the trees full of holes.
After the squirrel saw the deplorable state of the trees, he decided to run away from this place and look for a new home.
.....
In front of his small hut sat Arthur, bandaging the wounds of his hand. Although he has learned to use Shigan, he is still very hurt if he uses it several times.
"Fuck that, all I could learn was half the rukoshiki-style techniques, but that's not enough. I need more strength." Arthur looked at his hand full of wounds and sighed, The old man taught him 3 techniques from the rukoshiki style, namely Shigan, which he has mastered well, Tekkai, which he still can not perform well, and finally Geppo But this technique is still not tried to use, he has learned the basics and understood how it works but he has not tried it yet.
During his time at the research facility, Arthur worked hard to remember how these techniques worked.he believed that one day he would escape and he would need these techniques to defend himself.
"By knowing about this world, I can make my physical strength grow exponentially just by training, So I simply have to train hard to break the shackles of weakness from my body, " Arthur looked up at the starry night sky, his brown eyes full of determination.
Arthur suddenly stood up and went to his little hut, after some time he came out and had a long metal sword in his hand, the sword was designed in a European way and it was not a well-made sword.
Slash!
Arthur waved the sword with all his might.
Slash!
He waved again and expressions of determination and malice filled his face.
Slash! Slash!
He waved a third and fourth time and…, Every time he waves his sword, he remembers the faces of the guards and researchers who tortured him, that hatred and hatred that he eats from within turned into strength and fuel for waving the sword, Arthur continued to wave his sword madly and did not stop until his body fell down from fatigue he could no longer move any muscle of his body, Finally, with stumbling steps, Arthur returned to his small hut and fell into a deep sleep.
This has become Arthur's daily routine, he wakes up late and starts his day by hunting and collecting food, then after eating his breakfast, he starts practicing rukoshiki Arts, and then he returns to take a short nap, then he wakes up and eats, and then he returns to training.
He does push - ups, squats, eats again, and when night falls, he grabs his sword and starts waving it until he falls from fatigue.
Once the days and Arthur followed this daily routine, the days turned into weeks, and the weeks become months.
.....
[ After 7 months ]
Arthur stood in the middle of the forest, closing his eyes, His long black hair that reaches to his back is manipulated by the wind and his athletic body full of muscles and scars made him look like a strong young man despite being just a 13-year-old.
Arthur opened his eyes and looked at the top of a tall tree located next to him, At the top of the tree there was a small piece of a red dress, Arthur took a deep breath and stared at the piece of clothing, then with a powerful leap Arthur Rose a few meters into the air while his eyes were still fixed on the small piece of clothing.
"This is not enough, I need more" with a powerful kick in the void a powerful sound sounded, resembling the sound of a gunshot, Followed by Arthur rising for a few more meters, Then with another kick and another Arthur continued to climb through the air through the movement of Geppo But when he got close to reaching the red piece of clothing, he felt a heaviness in his body and began to fall down, although he tried to kick the air and climb up, but his kicks became slow and had no effect.
"Ouch" Arthur fell to the ground and suffered several cuts and bruises, broke one of the fingers of his hand, he fell from a height of about 12 meters.
"I still need more training, fuck this," Arthur stood up and kicked a small tree near him with all his might.
He has been practicing the geppo technique for about 6 months and his progress is very slow, and he has not made much progress in the tekkai technique, the main reason for this is that he did not receive any guidance during the training, unlike the Shigan technique, which the old man taught him how to use it personally and corrected the mistakes he makes.
"Sigh, it's Okay, I still have a lot of time ahead of me, although I haven't achieved total success in the rukoshiki style, but my training has not been useless, Arthur grabbed the broken finger and put it back where a small piece of wood was placed around it and wrapped it with cloth, During these seven months, Arthur suffered several damages and fractures, but he heals in a short period between two days and a week.
BIB! BIB!
"What's that sound," Arthur took up a fighting pose and began to inspect his surroundings with wary eyes.
"Bird" under the tree kicked by Arthur fell a large nest in which there were a few small birds, Arthur approached the nest and began to look at it, There are 3 birds in it, but it seems that two of them are already dead, Arthur raised his head and looked at the tree to find a part of the Nest still attached to it.
Gently and calmly Arthur stretched out his hand and held the Little Bird and said:
"I'm sorry, my friend, I accidentally destroyed your house and killed your brothers." Arthur's voice was low and pathos expressions filled his face, this bird reminded him of a lonely person who had fallen into a dark fate, none of which he had chosen himself.
With a powerful flapping of his wings, a large-sized Eagle stood over the branch of the tree above which the nest was located, Its enormous size, white head hair and brown plumage gave the Eagle a royal appearance, With her sharp and careful eyes, the female eagle looked at her little son, who was in Arthur's hands, and then with a spiteful cry flew away, her reaction was exaggerated, only she escaped, although her size is larger than Arthur.
"It seems that I have to take responsibility for my actions." Arthur looked towards the eagle soaring in the sky and then the little chick in his hand and made a decision to take care of him, This desire did not stem from his love for animals or that he wanted to take responsibility for his actions, the reason was his desire to get rid of his loneliness, even by having a pet accompany him.
"Let's go home, home I really wonder Do I have one" with small steps Arthur is directed towards his little hut and there is a lot of chaos in his human heart that has been covered by darkness.
