Thinking about his newfound "radar" ability, Kaminari couldn't help but recall the teique used by Ehe Thunder God from One Piece.

  That teique, whibined radio waves and Observation Haki, allowed Eo deteents and even eavesdrop over vast distances.

  "Seems like I should try figuring that out too."

  He reflected further. "Sensing other people's positions and movements using radio waves is already doable. The step is just practiprove precision."

  But then another problem came to mind. "What about hearing distant sounds? My body isn't like Enel's, and I 't automatically vert radio waves into sound waves. After all, I'm a 'lightning-type' person, not some all-powerful deity."

  This question puzzled him for a while, but eventually, he let it go. Just being able to deteearby people was already a huge step forward. He had time to work on it ter.

  "For now, though, I only activate this 'radar' when I'm in a meditative state."

  "I'll have to figure out a way to keep it running stantly. Otherwise, it's not as useful as it could be, it'd only really shine during rescue missions."

  Muttering to himself, Kaminari hopped down from the bamboo pole, lost in thought, and slowly walked toward the kit.

  Edgeshot, notig Kaminari's ptive expression, suppressed his curiosity and decided not to press him for answers. They sat in silence as they ate dinner.

  By the time the two roasted rabbits had been reduced to nothing but bones, Edgeshot finally broke the silence.

  "Did you achieve samadhi?"

  "Yes. I think I've pleted the state of 'entering tration' you mentioned," Kaminari replied while wiping his mouth with a napkin. "But it seems I only 'hear' and 'feel.' I 't 'i' with my surroundings the way you ."

  " I ask how you did it?"

  "Of course. It's actually pretty simple."

  Kaminari expined his method in a straightforward manner, describing how he used electric current to speed up nerve du.

  "That kind of trainihod… it probably only works fhtning-type Quirks like yours, right?" Edgeshot asked, a note of disappoi in his voice. He had been hoping Kaminari had stumbled upon a universal teique.

  "Probably," Kaminari admitted with a shrug, "but I let you experie. Who knows? Speeding up your nerve duight deepen your uanding of meditation."

  "Oh?!"

  Edgeshot's eyes lit up, and his mind fshed bainari's performance during the U.A. Sports Festival, specifically the cavalry battle where Kaminari had used his electricity to temporarily enhance his teammates' speed.

  "Now that I think about it, you've done something like this before, using your electricity to boost others' rea speed, right?"

  "Exactly," Kaminari replied with a smile, pg his empty teacup oable. "Electricity stimute the body's funs and enhance performaemporarily."

  "In that case, let's start practig right away!"

  Excitement surged through Edgeshot as he stood up abruptly, grabbing his dishes and walking out of the small dining area. Even with his face hidden by a mask, his eagerness was clear from his body nguage.

  Between the prospect of learning shuriken teiques and possibly advang his meditation, Edgeshot felt like he had been transported back to his youth, when he was still learning ninjutsu under his master's guidance.

  Back then, every day had been filled with the thrill of discovery. Kaminari's presence brought that feeling back, and Edgeshot couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for his student.

  "This kid isn't like the others I've trained. Not only does he absorb what I teach him, but he also gives back, sharing knowledge and teiques I'd never sidered before."

  As they washed the dishes together, Edgeshot chuckled to himself. Then Kaminari's earlier mention of the word "master" came to mind.

  "Maybe… I should think about taking him as a disciple."

  "But wait—I'm only thirty!"

  ---

  After ing up, the two of them left the kit and headed to the open training area. This time, however, they didn't go to the bamboo poles.

  "Aren't we tinuing with meditation?" Kaminari asked, gng toward the row of wooden stakes in the distance.

  "Not yet," Edgeshot replied calmly. "First, I'll teach you the basics of hidden on teiques. Once you've grasped the fuals, you practice while meditating."

  Edgeshot reached into his clothes and pulled out four shurikens, holding them deftly between the fingers of his right hand.

  "These are star-shaped shurikens, a on type. While there are many other designs, we'll focus oar shape for now."

  Kaminari studied the bck shurikens carefully. They were exactly like the ones he had seen in Naruto.

  "I'll demonstrate first. Watch my hand movements closely."

  Edgeshot flicked his wrist, sending the first shuriken flying through the air. It sliced through the air with a soft whoosh, followed by the sed, third, and fourth in rapid succession.

  Thud!

  Thud!

  Thud!

  Thud!

  Each shuriken embedded itself in the ter of a wooden stake. The pts were so precise that they looked identical.

  "How much of that did you catch?"

  Kaminari scratched his head awkwardly. "Not much… your movements were so fast that it looked like you only moved your hand three times."

  Then his eyes lit up with an idea. He rao the wooden stakes, pulled out the shurikens, and hahem back to Edgeshot.

  "Do it again. This time, I'll record it!"

  "Record it?" Edgeshot raised an eyebrow in fusion.

  Kaminari grinned and looked down at his cer's Golden Cloth. "Pikachu!"

  "Yes, Master," the robe replied in a high-pitched, childlike voice, leaving Edgeshot visibly stunned.

  "When the paper-sharp shooter demonstrates the shuriken teique, record his movements iail," Kaminari instructed.

  "Uood, sir."

  Kaminari turned back to Edgeshot with a satisfied smile. "Please, go ahead."

  Edgeshot didn't know whether to ugh or cry. The fact that Kaminari's bat uniform had artificial intelligence was impressive but ued—especially for a student.

  "Fine," Edgeshot said. "This time, I'll break down the movements step by step while demonstrating."

  "When throwing, lower your hand slightly like this," he expined, showing the prle. "And when you release the shuriken, make sure your hand is accelerating through the throw."

  "Watch closely."

  Whoosh!

  Thud!

  After another perfect throw, Edgeshot handed Kaminari a shuriken.

  "Your tur me show you how to hold it properly. Once you've got the basics down, all that's left is practice."

  "Got it!" Kaminari eagerly took the star-shaped shuriken, turning it over in his hands to feel its weight aure.

  As he stared at the on in his hand, he felt a surge of excitement.

  "I 't believe it… I'm actually holding a real shuriken!"

  "This was my childhood dream!"
