Chapter 2: Training Under Koshiro
Chapter 2: Training Under Koshiro**
Ren learned **quickly** that having memories of Earth didn’t make things easier.
His eight-year-old body was weak. His sword felt heavy. Every strike Kuina landed **hurt**.
But if there was one thing he had gained from his past life—**it was determination.**
He **studied Koshiro’s teachings** with an intensity that shocked the dojo master.
"Balance first," Koshiro said, placing him on a thin wooden beam.
Ren wobbled, arms flailing. Kuina laughed from below. "You look ridiculous."
Ren **gritted his teeth**. He wouldn’t fall.
Days turned to weeks. His muscles **burned** as he swung his wooden sword **ten thousand times a night** behind the dojo. He wasn’t just learning—**he was forging himself into something stronger.**
Kuina noticed.
"Ren," she said one evening, watching him train alone. "Why are you working so hard?"
He paused. His hands were **red and raw**, his breath heavy.
"Because," he said, staring at his hands, "I don’t want to lose anyone."
She tilted her head. "That’s a weird answer."
- But she didn’t press him. Instead, she grabbed her own wooden sword.
"Then train with me."
