Jujutsu kaisen:The Lucky Star

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ren's body suddenly vanished.
It was similar to the moment when he dodged the Butterfly Nichirn Blade—he disappeared without a trace.
However, Shinobu had already put aside her contempt and moved as soon as Ren vanished.
"Insect Breathing: Dance of the butterfly:Caprice"
The girl leaped into the air, her colorful feather fabric fluttering lightly.
Her large purple eyes scanned the area, but Shinobu held her breath and muttered, "I can't find him."
She couldn't spot Ren.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Ren reappeared exactly where he had just been.
The Nichirin sword in his hand was held straight.
Shinobu's heart skipped a beat. If she had faced an opponent this fast, she would have died instantly!
At that moment, Shinobu understood why Ren could move with such speed.
He was using high-speed, small-scale vibrations to reduce air resistance, allowing his body to move faster than usual.
His movements mimicked the vibration frequency of a bee's wings!
It was unbelievable, but it was happening right before her eyes.
Once again, Shinobu marveled at Ren's natural talent.
But she also realized the side effects of this move: the oxygen and energy demand was immense, and his body temperature would rise rapidly in a short time!
Shinobu narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Sure enough, she noticed an intricate auspicious cloud pattern on Su Chen's neck.
"Is this the power of Demon slayer Marks?" she mused, marveling at Mark's's ability once more.
However, she was unaware that during her moment of distraction, Ren was preparing for his second attack.
"Bee Breathing: Second form - Poison Vortex !"
Ren used his Nichirin blade to glide through the air, instantly creating three swirling vortexes.
If this move were enhanced with poison, it would cover a vast area, making it hard for the opponent to evade!
But for now, without poison, Ren relied on high-frequency rotation to disrupt his enemy.
A whirlwind swept from below, tousling the girl's hair and exposing her cute face.
The disturbance to Shinobu's vision made it difficult for her to focus.
With her inability to turn mid-air while falling, Ren took the opportunity to launch his final attack.
"Bee Breathing:First form - Swift thrust!"
A gust of wind burst forth, slicing through the courtyard air as Ren lunged directly in front of Shinobu.
At that moment, Shinobu's feet touched the ground, and she was about to raise her hand to retaliate!
But Ren activated his skill—Shadowless Hand!
His Nichirin Sword moved so fast it left only an afterimage.
Avoiding the Butterfly Ninja's sword, Ren placed his blade against her snow-white neck.
The air fell into a deadly silence.
Aoi Kanzaki appeared out of nowhere, and the cake she was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.
She rubbed her eyes, unsure if what she saw was real.
The three little girls screamed in excitement.
"Ah! Shinobu-sama actually lost!"
"Brother Ren is amazing!"
"Brother Ren must be a Hasnira—only a Hashira could defeat another Hashira!"
Kanoe stood quietly to the side, still struggling to believe what had just happened.
Her master… lost?
She lost to Ren using his own breathing style.
Using the Nichirin sword Kamoe wielded, Ren had defeated the Insect Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps!
It was unbelievable, and even now, her mind was still a little dizzy.
But the one most deeply affected was still Shinobu.
Ren's reaction speed and his impromptu tactics were flawless, and his self-created breathing technique was even more astonishing.
Ren had recognized his weaknesses in physical strength and fitness, so he had improved the footwork she taught him the previous night.
The deceptive moves were removed, and his single strike was now focused directly on the opponent.
This resembled the Breathing of Thunder, but according to Ren, this attack could be enhanced with poison.
Shinobu didn't know what to say. The boy before her continued to surprise her every day.
As his guide, she felt the responsibility to protect Ren, who was still relatively weak.
One day, the world between humans and demons would undergo earth-shaking changes because of him!
"Looks like I've lost." Shinobu sheathed her sword.
There was a faint smile on her face; she didn't seem sad about losing to Ren.
Ren returned his sword to Kanoe and said with modesty, "It was just a fluke."
"I think Ren's swordsmanship has improved since last night," Shinobu remarked honestly.
Comparing his performance from last night to today, it was clear that his progress had been rapid.
If he hadn't used poison, she wouldn't have stood a chance.
While the Shinobu might be one of the weaker Hashira in terms of raw power, she was still a Hashira To be able to defeat her meant Ren had reached a Hashira-level strength in some aspects.
As the evening grew later, Shinobu and Ren had a brief conversation.
She told him about a place Ubuyashiki Kagaya had mentioned.
Ren grew interested. "A training ground?"
"Yes," Shinobu smiled. "There are some specialized training areas for the Hashiras Today, I visited Lord Ubuyashiki, and he asked me to take you there."
"Ren, please don't let Lord Ubuyashiki's high expectations go unmet."
Ren lowered his head in thought.
The training ground Shinobu referred to must be a place where each Hashira hones their unique skills, right?
For example, the Sound Hashira's physical training, the Flower Pillar's flexibility exercises, and so on.
Ren felt that physical training was what he most lacked right now.
Despite his high level of understanding, his physical stamina hadn't caught up yet, so some dedicated training was necessary.
It was exciting to think about combining various techniques from other pillars.
If he could gain insights from each of them, he didn't know what kind of breathing style he could create.
Seeing Reen deep in thought, Butterfly Ninja waved her hand in front of him. "Hello? Ren, are you listening?"
Ren snapped back to attention with a smile. "Of course."
Shinobu patted her chest, laughing. "I thought you were going to reject me."
"Okay, then I refuse," Ren responded with a grin.
Shinobu's playful pink fist came forward, but Ren dodged it effortlessly.
Just kidding—Ren's reaction speed was now faster than Shinobu's, and she couldn't possibly land a hit on him!
A little # sign seemed to appear on Shinobu 's smooth forehead!
