Looking towards Nanami, Arthur felt complicated.
Firstly, he himself had absolutely no intention of receiving disciples normally. Even if it did, the young man would definitely choose a small child to train. After all, even though his original age was over twenty years old, after coming to this world, his age was not far from Nanami itself.
“I have absolutely no intention of receiving students formally. I just taught you some basics, there's no need to get down on your knees like that.”
“No! You will show me the path to the world of cultivation. You are my teacher and deserve this respect!”
Seeing how Nanami looked insistent, the corner of Arthur's lips twitched.
‘Once again meet with a troubled child.’
Arthur took a long breath. He then helped Nanami stand up while saying.
“Do as you like.”
“Good, Teacher!”
Nanami got up with a bright smile on her face. The girl looked towards Arthur full of excitement.
Arthur himself glanced around. Seeing the chaos as things were going not according to expectations, he sighed.
“Then we will start training tomorrow. Too much happened this afternoon, take a break to calm down. We'll come tomorrow morning.”
“Eh? We don't start now?” ask Nanami.
“Of course not. I also need some time to prepare for what I have to teach. Moreover, it was extremely uncomfortable to be here after the events that happened earlier.
Then-“
“T-Please wait a minute, Mr.”
Before leaving, Arthur stopped one of the palace knights who had just arrived. The man looked nervous, but still walked up to him and reported.
“I was asked to convey a message that you and your guard are welcome to be guests. We have prepared a room for you to stay. Of course, suitable accommodation has been provided.
The master said that everything was just a misunderstanding made by his son. He wants to be friends with you.”
“...”
Arthur immediately clicked dissatisfied. Even so, he understood the meaning that the old chili was more spicy. Seeing the potential in him, the former King did not want to make trouble and instead established a relationship because it would have many benefits for the Fuji Kingdom in the future. Moreover, they could have taken advantage of this opportunity to silence him.
‘Trying to test me? Then let me serve you.’
Arthur sneered inwardly. Changing his expression to appear friendly, the young man then said.
“Then thank you for your warm welcome.”
Seeing that Arthur did not reject him, the knight heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the mission can be run well and he will not get into trouble.
***
At night, Arthur lay in the guest room with a relaxed expression.
He and Jotaro were given separate rooms. The young man was given a warm welcome, a good room, and good food like the elders of a certain sect and other great guests. Meanwhile, Jotaro himself was given excellent middle-level care, the same as the low-level nobles who were invited to be guests.
‘No poison in food, no discrimination, no provocation ... this really sucks.’
Geck! Geck! Geck!
Just then, the sound of knocking on the door sounded. Arthur's expression changed. He looked happy and looked forward to it.
‘Attempted murder? Pretty interesting!’
Arthur's risen. He took out his katana then slightly shifted the door to glance outside. However her expression changed when she saw a beautiful woman in traditional clothes but almost showed some things and looked charming in front of the room.
‘Tactics win hearts with beauty?’
Arthur's lips twitched.
“I'm not interested,” said Arthur then closed the door hard.
When the young man thought he could sleep peacefully, a knock on the door rang out. With an annoyed expression, the young man shifted the door. As he was about to shout, the young man was stunned.
On the doorstep, there appeared a handsome man with a muscular body with a confident smile. The man winked at him. But seeing Arthur wearing a blindfold, the man said.
“I'm here to-“
Arthur directly slammed the door with a grim expression on his face. Tonight really became one of the bad experiences after he came to this world. Really feeling annoyed to the point of wanting to beat up people!

Next morning.
After breakfast with food delivered to his room, Arthur heads to the backyard. He had also finished cleaning himself and changed clothes similar to before, which only differed in color on his bamboo image.
Arriving in the backyard, he saw the figure of Nanami who had prepared. Although her clothes were a bit worn out, but she had a beautiful and clean appearance. This made Arthur take a deep breath.
“Have you had breakfast?” ask Arthur, relax.
“Teacher!” yang Nanami exclaimed with a smile on her face.
“I've had breakfast, Guru.”
After listening to Nanami's reply, Arthur heard the girl's stomach ring. He ignored the red hue on the girl's face. The young man took out a bundle from his dimensional pouch.
“There is meat bread there. I couldn't spend it. Eat.”
“Eh? But Guru-“
“You must have the energy to practice. Besides, next time, you will have to answer my question honestly if you do think of me as a teacher. Do you understand?”
Hearing that, Nanami nodded. He looked down upon receiving food from Arthur, apparently embarrassed that his lie was known to the teacher.
After breakfast and drink, Nanami looked at Arthur and asked.
“How about your bodyguard, Guru.”
“It appears he is dead. Yep. It's good if he's no longer-“
“Very unfortunate. I won't die that easily, R-Y-U-M-A.”
The figure of Jotaro with a body full of sweat and a head gleaming when exposed to sunlight appeared in the backyard while smiling confidently. Realizing something, he again said.
“I mean, Boss Ryuma.”
“...”
Nanami looked at Arthur with a curious expression. In response, the young man said in a flat tone.
“Ignore him.”
After that, Arthur invites Nanami to warm up. After warming up, he asked the girl to sit under a shady tree. Meanwhile, the young man began to explain.
“As you know, the higher the technique, the better anyway. Although the difficulty level was also higher, if it had sufficient talent and ability, it could still be done. So here I'll give you the technique your father gave you.
There are nearly ten books. Do you want to choose yourself now?”
“Teacher!” Nanami raised her hand.
“What's up?”
“What about the opinion of the Master himself? Can you give me advice?”
“Hm ..”
Arthur stroked his chin. After thinking for a while, he finally opened his mouth.
“In my opinion, the more techniques it is not necessarily good. If that person could master it deeply, naturally it had a good impact. Even so, people's talents are different. If you want to get strong soon, I advise not to think about too many tricks.
You're a sword user, right?
I think a cultivation technique (to absorb and refine qi), one sword technique, and one movement technique is enough. Of course, if all three are done well, you can add one more technique. I think palm is easier and more suitable to learn.
So when you get pushed and lose your weapon while fighting, you can use palm techniques to defend and then escape. Don't think running away is an act of dishonor. Rather than die foolishly, surviving to retaliate in the future is still better.”
Arthur was stunned for a moment when he saw Nanami staring at him with sparkling eyes. The corner of the young man's lips twitched before asking.
“Do you understand what I said?”
