"For today's lesson, I want all of you students to unselect your katana." Takezo's voice ranged through the hall, "Make it quick, we will learn about the footwork and Katana movements,"
Ryan tapped his chest twice, the katana in his hand disappeared. It went back to his ID card. This was one kind of dimensional storage on its own.
"Get ready for learning how to swing your katana and how to swing slash move your body while fighting." Shimen continued, "Of course, you will not be able to become a master in controlling your body and katana after this lesson…"
Students raised their heads in Takezo's direction. Those seven people had gained respect for their katana trainer. Not because of who he was but because of what he did. Because of his katana skills and power.
It was the next morning when students had gathered in the training hall. They all were wearing comfortable clothes to their liking.
After unselecting their katanas, they all were ready to hear what Shimen had for them.
"Most of you must be wondering why did I ask you to unselect your weapons, well," He walked up to the front, "We must first train your body to move without a katana, polish your movements without your katana, master your swings without a katana before actually going for it."
"Sir!" a student raised his hand, "Is that even possible?" Takezo searched for the boy who called him, "How is it even possible to train without your weapon?"
Shinmen spotted the boy, he was standing somewhere in the middle of the crowd of seven students.
"Oh, do you think it is not possible?"
"Yes, sir. How is it even possible?"
"Fine, come to the front and equip your katana. Today, you will train with your katana while others train without their katanas."
"No, sir that is not what I meant-"
"No. I am serious. I am not trying to make a fool out of you because you asked me such a stupid question in front of the whole class, I am serious."
That boy gritted his teeth, "Crap. he surely plans on doing that though, why can not I keep my trap shut?"
A boy emerged from the crowd, he equipped his katana on the way to the front.
'Who is that guy?' Ryan thought while looking at a Japanese kid, 'Well, not like I care. I would not use vision on someone like him.' Ryan looked away from him, to Shimen.
"We will start the training students, take your stance!"
"HUh? What does he mean?"
"T- take a stance? What kind of?"
"By Stance, I mean, take your position you would take if there was an enemy in front of you!" Shimen shouted. His voice echoed through the hall.
'Damn, why are we training in an indoor stadium?' Ryan thought as he looked around himself. It was a dome-shaped stadium.
Ryan pulled his leg forward, pulled his katana- imaginary katana near his face, and brought it in front of his chest before moving it away from his chest.
"Ryan~" he heard a soft voice calling him, "Hey, Ryan," He turned his head to his left. A young girl was smiling at him, "Lift your katana's tip a little,"
"Oh? Like this?" Ryan tightened his grip and lifted his katana up a little.
"Close the distance between your legs, keep a shoulder-length distance,"
"Oh- ah, okay, Gwen." Ryan did as Gwen was telling him to do.
"Now, pull your elbows back a little, the angle on your elbow should not be more than thirty degrees and not less than ten degrees."
Ryan adjusted his measurements with the help of his System's vision skill. "Like this?"
"Yep, perfect!" she smiled.
'Ah… I am so fortunate to have someone like her look after me…' Ryan formed a pleased expression on his face.
"I am coming, students, to check your stance." Shinmen took off from his place and started walking through the students, "You must have a perfect stance before starting a fight."
"Why is that, sir?"
'Ah-hah, why do I see that Nohara Hiroshi's duplicate here?' Ryan shook his head.
"Move your leg forward," Shimen kicked a student's calf from behind, "Stand straight."
Shinmen looked through more students and corrected their stances, "First of all, do not try to be dramatic and copy those anime characters' style. I warn you seriously…" He took a pause, "Do not try to be a Zoro, Tanjiro, Sasuke, Kisuke, Ichigo, Giyu, or Zenitsu. I want you to remember, all those characters are fiction. Do not try to copy their style."
"Whoa, I am surprised he knows about them," Ryan giggled, "Well, it is Japan, after all, wait, we are not in Japan I guess, well he is Japanese-"
"And I am surprised by how perfect the stances of both of you are." Ryan's eye went wide when he suddenly sensed someone standing beside him.
'W-what?! I did not even…'
"Perhaps you two already are trained?"
"Uh… no, sir. I mean, yes. I- my father trained me but he is a beginner." Gwen replied.
Ryan was still shocked, 'Right, he is a ghoul… of course, his presence is ghost-like… does that mean he is already dead, too?!'
'Oh, this guy…' Shinmen glanced at Ryan, 'He is the-!' his eyes went wide, then calmed, 'He is that young boy… who is… insanely powerful!'
Ryan gulped when he felt Shinmen's deadly stare on him, 'Fuck. what now?'
"Moving forward, relax." He walked past Ryan and other students, back to the front, "Next we will focus on getting your footwork right."
Shinmen pulled his arm out, with a bright light, a wooden katana appeared in his hand, "Look at me carefully. Look at my footwork,"
Shinmen took his stance, then moved forward efficiently, without any friction.
'It seems like… that man is floating on the ground… no, he must be walking on water, those swift movements.' So swift that even an ice skater can not perform.
"Your body," He stopped, "Should stick to the ground, do not try to jump around while attacking. We will talk about defense later," he explained.
"Move efficiently, move to imagine you are walking on ice. You should not put pressure on your legs, take that onto your arms but still must stick to the ground,"
"B- B- but sir," the boy who was called to the front sighed, "How should we do it though?" he asked.
"That is what I will teach you and you will have to practice on your own," Shinmen answered, "To you, your body should feel light as a feather, be calm and relax your body. The more you tense it, the more energy and stiff your movements will become," He told.
"Next, imagine you have a katana in your hands, try swinging it."
Ryan lifted his arms and performed a vertically tilted slash. Some did a horizontal slash, others performed an X attack- people trying to be Zoro.
"The swings of your katana should not be lousy and clumsy though, make sure you hold a loose grip while attacking, and a tight grip while defending." Shimen continued, "Your katana should not cling to your body and hands.
"Stand level-headed, always keep your katana in front of your eyes. Do not let it go out of your sight. No long swings, make the swings short and meaningful, no unnecessary swings." He told, "There should not be too long back and forth swings,"
Students tried swinging their imaginary katana that way but no one knew how it practically was actually done.
"Do not try doing it, you do not know how it is done. Wait till I show you," Shinmen ordered, "For now, just listen." he paused, "Our main goal while fighting is not to pull the fight long,"
Students looked at him after relaxing their position, "It is never good to fight in long fights or elongate a fight to last for more than an hour." he suggested, "Your goal should never be fighting for long,"
"Then?"
"Our goal while fighting should be to kill and finish the fight as soon as possible!" He shouted.

The other girls from Ryan's harem are gathering in the same class. Saori, Ayami, and Gwen are together with Ryan in the same class. This does nothing but increase Gwen's competition.
She will have to keep up & you will have to keep reading.
