At this mont, Kalifa was quite happy. Just now, she had clearly felt changes in her body. The vitality that seed to spread out through the Demon Slayer Mark anyti and anywhere gradually beca stable. The mark on her body also beca more flexible at this mont.
Thinking that she had such stronger power, Kalifa respected Ikki even more.
"Tsk, has it been successfully activated?" Hina muttered, turning to look at Ikki. "Since you want to help Hina activate the Innate Demon Slayer Mark, why don't you activate yours now and use the mark to influence Hina?"
"Haha, even for , opening the Innate Demon Slayer Mark is a laborious task. Hina, you don't want to enter this pool of water with you, so I'm helpless," Ikki replied with a grin.
"Hmph! Who knows if you did it on purpose..." Hina pursed her lips and raised her hand to light a cigarette for herself. "Forget it, Hina allows it – you can go into the water too."
As she said that, Hina patted the place next to her, with an expression that told Ikki to stay by her side.
"Sorry, not now!"
"Huh? Are you kidding Hina? Why can't you do it now?"
"I don't an to trick you, Hina, but I plan to help Tashigi train first," Ikki said, shaking his head and looking at Tashigi, who had been standing not far away.
"Eh? Help ? Ikki, do I need to go into the water now too?" Thinking of getting into the water in front of Ikki, Tashigi's face turned red.
"Haha, not now, Tashigi," Ikki laughed. "Although you have a Demon Slayer Mark now, you're still far from 25 years old. Even without the healing properties of the pool water, you can still live a normal life in the outside world. The training I'm talking about is to help you further master the power of Water Breathing."
"You should have practiced 'Total Concentration Breathing,' but you haven't completely mastered it yet, right? By the way, it would also be great if you could learn so Marine Six Styles. After all, I've arranged a battle for you to challenge in the future – if you don't beco stronger, there's no way you'll defeat your future self."
When he had carved the partner seal for Tashigi, the system had issued the "Mountain-Cutting Realm Swordsman Tashigi Challenge Permission." And the swordsman shadow of Mountain-Cutting Realm Tashigi was higher than the current Tashigi in terms of life force and level of swordsmanship.
Especially the sword level! Although the swordsmanship level of Mountain-Cutting Realm and Sky-Cutting Realm were only one level apart, the gap was much larger than the gap between Iron-Cutting Realm and Sky-Cutting Realm.
Although the swordsman shadow of Mountain-Cutting Realm Tashigi hadn't mastered the Demon Slayer Mark, Ikki felt that if Tashigi, who had now mastered the mark, fought her swordsman shadow, she would only be defeated.
In the case where 'nutritional dicine' couldn't be given to Tashigi and other Marines for use, Ikki could only choose to use other thods to enhance Tashigi and even Hina's power, while allowing them to have the strength to challenge those swordsman shadows in the future.
"Future... ?" Tashigi opened her mouth slightly and looked at Ikki in astonishnt. "Ikki, have you prepared a model of my future self?"
"Haha, we've been getting along for a while," Ikki replied. "If I want to create a shadow of you in the future, I can still do it. Let's go, Tashigi. It's ti for training. And you, Kalifa – now that the Innate Demon Slayer Mark has been opened, your movents will beco quite free. Next, you have to do so systematic training in the gym."
Hearing this, Kalifa nodded slightly. "I understand, Ikki."
She naturally understood what he ant – to let her use the nutritional dicine he had given her before for relevant training.
"Hey, what about Hina?" Hina called out. "You also have a shadow of Hina's future prepared, right?"
Seeing Ikki planning to leave, Hina asked quickly. On the one hand, it was because she wanted to increase her strength, and on the other hand, it was because she also wanted to see what her future self would look like.
"Don't worry, I'll also create your future shadow," Ikki said with a smile, taking Tashigi's hand. "But because your current swordsmanship isn't very good, I can't create a version of you that's too strong in swordsmanship. But that's good – at least when you challenge it, the difficulty will be reduced a lot."
He left the hot spring with Tashigi.
"Bastard, do you think so little of Hina's swordsmanship?" Hina stood up from the pool angrily and wanted to catch up with Ikki to demand an explanation.
"Forget it, once you get out of this pool of water, you'll feel weak and won't even have the strength to argue with Ikki," Kalifa said, raising her hand and putting it on Hina's shoulder, pushing her into the pool water with a little force. "Now, just adapt to the power of the Demon Slayer Mark."
Hina looked at Kalifa in shock, amazed that she could suppress her so easily.
Kalifa gave Hina a aningful smile, took off her bathrobe, put on fitness clothes, left the hot spring and went to the gym.
"This woman is so powerful!" Hina muttered. "Is she already this strong, or did Ikki train her to be this strong? That man must be hiding sothing in his training of Tashigi and Hina."
She bit her thumb. At this mont, she decided to observe the difference in Ikki's exercise thods for them versus Kalifa and the others.
"There you are, Kalifa," ca voices from the gym. "I heard that you've activated the Innate Demon Slayer Mark. Is it true?"
At this mont, in the gym, Vivi and Perona, who had taken nutritional dicine, were also doing their own training. After seeing Kalifa appear, Perona, who was also working on the project of unlocking the Innate Demon Slayer Mark, imdiately looked over.
However, because she had to make the most of the nutritional dicine's effectiveness, she didn't stop her actions.
"Well, it's already activated. Its your turn next, Perona," Kalifa replied, coming to her training area and skillfully taking out a bottle of her own nutritional dicine from the counter.
"Where's Ikki? He said he will take the marnie to practice here?" Kalifa asked, looking around doubtfully.
"He took... Tashigi into... the Sword Enlightennt Room. He probably... doesn't want to... disturb us," Vivi replied breathlessly. The high-grade nutritional dicine made her feel more tired than ever before.
"I see!" Kalifa nodded. The way Perona and Vivi looked – emitting white steam, their skin flushed, and covered in sweat after taking nutritional potions – really wasn't suitable for Tashigi, who was a Marine, to watch.
Thinking of this, Kalifa took the potion and started her training.
At the sa ti, Sword Enlightennt Room
"Okay, no one will disturb us here," Ikki said. "Next, let help you better master the way to use the sword. First, let see how much you've grown."
He pulled out Zangetsu from his waist and faced Tashigi in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Ikki!" Tashigi took a deep breath.
Knowing Ikki's strength, she didn't show any pretense. She pulled out the blade from her waist and attacked him.
"Water Breathing, First Form..."
