Four weeks had passed by peacefully. Over the days, Igor had been sparring with Baraquiel, allowing his combat experience to sore and become more refined. Without fail, Baraquiel would give a pointer mid-spar and the blonde would learn, astonishing the cadre with his uncanny comprehension ability.

Currently, it was morning and both Igor and Baraquiel had went out for their daily sparring session, leaving both Shuri and Akeno alone at the Himejima residence.

Igor's schedule was pretty simple. At four in the morning, he would wake up and begin meditating. If it was in the time chamber, he would begin his regular excercises before eating at a later time. But since he has Baraquiel to spar with, he resolved to meditate instead. His meditative sessions would last until Baraquiel woke up, which usually varied between 6:00 and 8:00. Either way, once he woke up, the Fallen would meet up with Igor in the woods for their morning sessions.

Once there, Igor would power up and enter his [Aura-Burning State]. With his ki capacity, he could only hold it for roughly five minutes before he burnt out nearly all his ki. The ramifications of the technique weren't too harsh, but due to having a very low amount of ki, his speed, striking power, and defense would decrease by a noticeable margin.

That made whatever punches Baraquiel dished out after that state just that more painful. But it also helped to increase his body's natural toughness and resistance, especially to lightning. Having endured the bolts tearing through his body, his reactions to it have lessened.

Their morning sessions would usually end around 10:00. Both would go back to the house where Shuri would've prepared an entire breakfast for them. Although Igor was initially predisposed to it, he had come to enjoy eating with the family.

If it was during the weekdays, then Akeno would've long since went to school. That was quite sad for both parents since the blonde and their daughter would seemingly bicker about the most random of things. It was a happy sight watching them fight over simple things like which is better between honey or sugar in tea.

After breakfast, it was sparring again until evening. This time, Baraquiel would be more thorough in pointing out whatever errors Igor was committing or what he needed to watch out for during a fight. It was a very much-needed experience that helped the blonde stop fighting with the mindset of a human and fight with the mindset of a supernatural. With there being various races with various abilities, martial arts for humans wasn't going to work when an enemy could fly or had extra appendages.

It was how Baraquiel had shown him in the beginning. When Igor had tried to get close like in boxing, the Fallen simply released his wings to stab the blonde. It was one of the things Baraquiel highlighted during the spars.

'In the supernatural world, you want to focus more on evasion and precise strikes since you do not know what the enemy will bring out. This goes doubly for you, brat.'

And so time passed by with Igor gaining tips and tricks from the experienced cadre. Although the blonde wouldn't easily admit it, he did enjoy his time around Baraquiel and his family. It was why that even though a month had passed, there was that bit of reluctance to part with them.

He had informed the family he would leave, which is why while both Igor and Baraquiel were out, Shuri and Akeno had stayed behind to prepare a massive parting breakfast for the blonde.
