After Haruto Okabe split the rock in half with a mid-air kick, Amaru assumes a battle-ready stance to push Haruto Okabe even further in his training.
Amaru says to Haruto "Are you ready? Haruto Okabe! I will not go easy on you. Show me your potential."
Haruto answers Amaru "I am getting fired up, Amaru Sensei!"
Haruto adds "Also, my training is highly erratic; I perform a series of unpredictable movements rather than adhering to fixed combal techniques."
Amaru says to himself in his thoughts "So in other words.."
Haruto adds "Long story short, the idea of training itself is my pattern!"
Amaru "I see, now show me."
Haruto tells Amaru with an enthusiastic and fired up tone "I challenge you to read my hits, Amaru Sensei."
Amaru "Do not push your luck, Haruto Okabe! Show me actions, not just words."
Haruto assumes a spider-like stance, placing his hands, particularly the tips of his fingers against the ground in a low, prone structure.
With explosive acceleration, Haruto Okabe dashes forward at a remarkable speed, catching Amaru off guard for a split of the second. Amaru remarks "OH! A spring-loaded first step. This one truly has potential" in a surprised and amused tone.
Before Amaru could fully react, Haruto leaps into the air. Amaru observes, looking up and says "I see... a surprise attack from above, how clever."
Then Haruto delivers a mid-air whip kick toward Amaru, who effortlessly catches the very leg intended to strike him with his own hand.
Amaru says "Impressive, but still not good enough. Haruto Okabe."
Amaru talks to himself inside his head "This hit would have shattered an ordinary person's bones."
Haruto "Yikes man! You literally just caught my own kick, that is insane!"
Amaru hurle Haruto while still gripping his leg, casting him a sufficient distance to speak to him. He says to Haruto "You are strong, Haruto Okabe, but definitely not strong enough to be in an actual combat.".
Haruto answers Amaru "That is precisely why I am training, to become stronger!" He charges toward Amaru, activating his ritual energy; he closes his eyes as he runs to fully harness it, he leaps a considerable distance and unleashes a barrage of high-speed punches, moving so swiftly that his strikes appear multiplied.
Amaru effortlessly deflects all of Haruto's high-speed punches, as though he can anticipate Haruto's every move. As Haruto strikes, Haruto declares "I will not remain weak! I will surpass my father and kick his ass! No matter what!"
After Haruto's unleashing a barrage of rapid, relentless punches, Haruto withdraws and steps back. He then says to Amaru "Wow! You are truly formidable, Amaru Sensei. I can hardly believe you managed to block every single strike! That is insane!"
Amaru then shifts from a defensive stance to an offensive one. He addresses Haruto, saying to him "Prepare yourself, Haruto Okabe." With remarkable speed, Amaru charges toward Haruto, so swiftly that Haruto is unable to track his movements. For a brief moment, Amaru vanishes. Haruto exclaims frantically "H-He disappeared? Where is he?"
Then, in the span of a mere instant, Amaru appears behind Haruto. Haruto turns back to look at him but can't react on time. Amaru strikes Haruto at the nape, knocking him down. As Haruto falls he says "W-what was that? He is incredibly fast- I-I could not keep up with him! I-I am still weak... I need to get stronger, A LOT STRONGER!"
Haruto collapses to the ground after being hit by Amaru. Amaru then tells Haruto "Get up, no way you are this easy to defeat, Haruto Okabe." Then Haruto rises to resume the training.
Haruto talks to himself in his head thinking "Amaru is incredibly powerful, I need to land at least on him, but how do I do that? THINK... THINK HARUTO!"
Several seconds pass while Haruto was standing still, thinking how to outsmart Amaru.
Amaru "Are you going to keep standing there? Haruto Okabe."
Haruto "Since Amaru was able to block all my attacks, feints should give the same effect."
Haruto spots a massive rock nearby and thinks to himself "Alright, as I probably stated, feints produce the same effect, meaning I can use them to my advantage."
Haruto then runs toward Amaru; rather than striking him directly, he feigns a punch to mislead him. Just as Amaru moves to block the punch, Haruto very swiftly withdraws and repeat the same exact maneuver from multiple angles at such high speed that his attacks appear multiplied.
Amaru engages in an internal monologue within his own thoughts "Haruto Okabe, what are you trying to do?"
As Haruto reaches the precise angle– almost directly behind the massive rock he had spotted. He channels his ritual energy and forcefully strikes the ground with his own leg, causing the immense rock to be violently ripped out. He then leaps into the air and delivers a powerful kick to the colossal rock, amplifying the impact with his ritual energy, screaming under its overwhelming weight. After propelling the rock toward Amaru, Haruto unleashes a barrage of shattered debris, sending a relentless hail of rubble hurtling toward Amaru's direction.
Amaru says and reacts while looking at the debris coming his way "A hail of rubble, he is trying to block my view and strike from my blind spot. Not bad, Haruto Okabe!"
Amaru then draws his own staff, he begins to spin the staff at a very high speed, the staff spins so quickly that it generates strong gusts that repels and push back portions of the small and medium-sized rubble back.
Nearly half of the rubble was deflected and forced back, however, Haruto was nowhere to be seen by Amaru. Amaru manually deflects each remaining debris, as it was far too large and heavy for the gusts to repel. As he continued to block the massive fragments of debris, he searched frantically and said in a surprised tone "Haruto Okabe, where are you?"
Meanwhile, as Amaru was preoccupied with blocking and repelling the rubble while simultaneously searching for Haruto, Haruto exploits the debris and dust as cover, using the large airborne fragments to leap between them without being detected by Amaru.
As Amaru Continued his search, Haruto landed upon a slab of rock nearly his own size from which he carefully peered at Amaru, preparing to strike. He imbues his fist with ritual energy and charged his legs likewise, ready to perform a spring-like jump to ambush Amaru.
Haruto jumps precisely as he planned, using his spring-loaded jump powered by his Ritual Energy to ambush Amaru. He clenches his fist in preparation to strike amd shouts as he lunges forward "Got you!"
However, Amaru responds with effortless composure, smoothly positioning his staff from behind his back to intercept the attack. "There you are, Haruto Okabe." He says calmly with a hint of surprise.
Haruto's fist collides with the staff, but the blow is cleanly deflected. The force of his strike is so immense that the dust and the smokescreen he had created from the rubble are violently dispersed by the resulting gust.
As Haruto's fist meets the staff, Haruto exclaims in astonishment "He blocked it easily!"
Haruto does not retreat, he hold his fist firmly in place, trying to Overpower Amaru through sheer physical force. He redirects the Ritual Energy once channeled into his legs for his spring-like jump into his fist, intensifying its concentration to amplify the strength and effectiveness of his strike.
Haruto screams "I am not done yet, Amaru Sensei!" As Amaru Continues to block the attack. Haruto screams louder, further focusing his ritual energy into his fist, while the powerful gusts persist, driven by the immense pressure of their clashing forces.
Amaru says calmly "Interesting" while he is blocking Haruto's attack. "You possess high potential, Haruto Okabe. Let us conclude this." Amaru Continues.
Amaru then imbues his staff with Ritual Energy, and in an instant, Haruto's attack is violently repelled by a formidable and overwhelming gravitational force.
After the repulsion of Haruto, Amaru is likewise forced backward, not entirely exempt from the recoil caused by the clash of their Ritual Energy. However, due to the vast gap in their strength, Amaru is pushed back by scarcely half a meter.
After both land and settle down, Amaru tells Haruto "Well done, for a second measure, you absolutely outperformed yourself, Haruto Okabe."
Haruto replies "You are powerful Amaru Sensei, I can't even see Hirata landing a scratch on you."
Amaru "Hirata Alex possesses the Branch of Language, so he is not the combat type of fighter, he has his own ways."
Haruto "I see, but since today's training was special, why did not you invite Hirata? Should not he had seen this sparr session?"
Amaru "I did this for a reason, consequently it is unfair for one of you to see my moves or fighting style before the other fights me."
Haruto says with a sarcastic and cold tone "It is not like you fought or anything remotely close to that..."
Amaru tells Haruto "let's call this a day, this is enough. Go home and rest, Haruto Okabe."
Haruto departs and leaves Amaru, Haruto goes back home.
Amaru "Your turn is next, Hirata Alex..."
