The Kami-e technique allows the body to achieve maximum flexibility and evasion, but at the same time the body's defensive capabilities are sharply weakened.
Erika knew this, so she attacked decisively. If she had hit, it would have probably left a wound on her chest, but at the same time, Louis' body would have been pierced.
"Naive," Louis chuckled, loosening his right leg slightly, causing it to instantly return to its original position, thereby capturing Erica's right hand.
"Damn it!!!" Erica gritted her teeth, but no matter how hard she tried, her hand was tightly clamped, and there was no way to move it.
"That's all," Louis said, partially bringing his body out of the Kami-e state, which also reduced its elasticity.
"AAAA!!!" Erica screamed as she felt whatever was holding her limbs began to tighten, forcing her right arm to go behind her back, simultaneously dislocating her shoulder joint. In addition, her chest began to convulse, and her ribs began to make characteristic cracking sounds.
"Die!!!" she screamed, still struggling. And opening her mouth wide, she tried to bite Louis' head.
"How stubborn," Louis said, and without paying attention to it, he returned his right hand to its usual appearance.
*Poof!*
"Uuuuuu!!!" Erica's voice became slurred and one of her hands reached up to her face, trying to free herself from the shackles.
"Still not giving in?" Louis continued, while tightening his grip, each time she exhaled, increasing the pressure he was putting on her.
Soon her face turned red and her consciousness began to fade. And thus, accompanied by extremely difficult breathing, Erica lost consciousness and their fight ended.
Louis released Erika's body, completely breaking out of his Kami-e state. He frowned slightly, feeling an unusual sensation: his body was clearly out of order, and his muscles felt stretched. These injuries were not serious, but they showed that this technique was not suitable for long-term use. In addition, during the fight, he realized that using binding for strangulation was too ineffective, so he abandoned this tactic.
Although it only took him a week to master Kami-e, his training did not end there. Over the next three weeks, Louis began trying to strengthen Kami-e and expand its range of application.
There were two directions of strengthening: the first is to increase control, so that he could, for example, wrap himself around Erica's body like a snake. It is worth noting that the usual Kami-e is like paper: soft, but does not allow you to arbitrarily change shape. The second direction is to increase the strength of his body in the Kami-e state, so that he can quickly deprive Erica of the state.
Of course, binding is not the main function of this technique, Louis just wanted to see if he could do something like this. In fact, he learned this technique to combine it with Tekkai techniques, but what he learned in the fight today was also extremely useful. After all, now he could say with certainty: no chains or prisons could hold him.
"Wow! Unbelievable! This is simply amazing, meow," Shiro marveled as soon as Louis stepped out of the arena, "This is Kami-e? This looks more like a Devil Fruit ability! How is this possible? This is simply unimaginable, meow! Louis, you are simply amazing, defeating Erika so easily, meow!"
"Just luck," Louis dismissed.
"Luck? Can you call that luck, meow?" Shiro laughed, "Erika is too stupid to jump into your arms. And as we all know, intelligence is also part of strength, meow."
Louis responded to this with a simple smile.
If Erika really relied on Sora to increase the distance and used offensive tactics, he would probably have to use Seimei Kikan to attack. As for the difference in their doriki, it was not that great. In addition, after a month of intensive training, his physical strength had increased significantly, and Louis's improvement was definitely greater than Erika's. And thanks to his superiority in Rokushiki techniques, he had no reason to doubt his victory.
In any case, the practical exam came to an end, and Louis passed to the next stage. As for the results of the theoretical test, they were known by the evening. And in the end, John, who had received a serious injury from Shiro and was still unconscious, became the first to be thrown out of the camp with zero points for the practical and average points for the theory. Since then, no one has seen him...
....
And so the second month began, in which Louis continued his grueling training.
While eating, he continued to use Seimei Kikan, controlling his digestive system. Progress was a little slower than he expected, as the contents of his stomach greatly affected his control. But after about two weeks, he managed to master this task. After which, Louis officially entered a period of rapid growth, feeling himself getting stronger every day.
After finishing the digestive system, he focused on hair control. There are many hairs on the human body besides the head, such as vellus hair, and it was worth working on them. The experience of hair control sped up the process considerably, and by the end of the second month, Louis could control most of his vellus hair.
Besides that, he also did not stop training Rokushiki techniques. Mastering Kami-e could be considered complete, and now he began studying Sora, as he needed to learn the movement skills. Otherwise, he would not have the strength to counter-attack against opponents with long-range attacks.
The focus of Copy training was on explosive power. Louis achieved speed by consistently pushing off the ground in a short time. It was technically much easier than Kami-e, and it was also easy to train.
Thus, slowly but surely, the second month came to an end, and the second exam also came to an end. There is no need to talk about the theoretical test, but in practice, Louis faced an opponent whose name he could not even remember. Because using the techniques he had learned, he won instantly.
Now, in their training camp, almost everyone agreed that the strongest students were Stuart, Louis, and Shiro, although no one had any hopes for Shiro.
During the third month, Louis continued to improve his control over his vellus hair. He had already planned that after he completed this, he would begin working on the skin. And although it would take a long time, it would definitely prove useful to him. Speaking of Soru's training, it was completed, but not finding any complex applications for the technique, he only improved its speed and control, starting to study Geppo...
However, at that moment, his calm training was interrupted by the appearance of one person.
"Hey! Kid!! Where's the bathroom?" cried a man Louis had never seen before. He stood in front of him with his legs tucked under him, his face as red as a tomato, his body writhing constantly.
Louis was surprised by the appearance of this man, and that he burst into his training room. But for some reason, he seemed familiar to him. So, pointing to the toilet, Louis began to sort through his memories of where he could see him.
"Ah! How good, finally!" the man exclaimed enthusiastically, leaving the toilet with relief.
Walking up to Louis, he looked at him with a slightly surprised expression, "Wow, there are such young guys in the CP9 training camp? Speaking of which, kid, would you like to be friends with me? I'm Spandine, the commander of CP9."
After these words, Louis finally remembered where exactly he saw him...
