For the remainder of the day, you and Kasen found a closed space to the side of the Shrine in the forest, where she began teaching you.
You acquired a slight grasp of bending space. After a few hours of her teaching you the appropriate method for attuning with the surroundings and finding the energy within yourself, you notice you are able to create blurry and small fissures in the air, it takes effort and mental strain to focus them, but you were indeed able to find that you could create 'something' solid there! It amazed you to practice <span class="mu-s">Senkai Feng Shui</span>
Kasen was strict in putting you under an unforgiving and intense training regimen known as the 'Oni Routine' though in the following hours, forcing you to lift heavy objects, run long distances and repeat many pushups and sit ups to gain <span class="mu-s">Peak of Humanity Strength</span>! At one point, she even puts a foot on your back while demanding you do a single push up, but it's really more a fight against her own force! And after that, she set up some dummies and started teaching you martial arts! You get beat up by the dummies more than you beat them up until you are able to learn their patterns to dodge using <span class="mu-s">Martial Arts Mastery</span>!
You're, needless to say, thoroughly worn out from all the training, and relieved to find her relaxing it a bit and delving more into the ontological parts when she teaches you about how to forefather <span class="mu-s">Talismans</span> through prayer and ritual.
A big meal is had back at the Shrine, Hecatia again offered to cook for everyone. Night time has come fast and you are ready to relax.
You allowed Reimu to know your decision, that Aya was priority. She tells you that once daybreak hits, you and your partners wouldn't be allowed to hesitate even a bit, tracking down that Tengu would be incredibly difficult. You are informed of how Shameimaru Aya was indeed the fastest Youkai known in Gensokyo, and a contender for being the speediest person all around altogether!
You would keep that in mind...
