THE TRIBULATIONS OF TSUKIYAMA SHUU

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: CAULDRON RUN.

Shuu was up before the day broke. He wasn't comfortable sleeping easily in an unknown environment. The lack of beds also made sleep a bit uncomfortable, not to mention the cold night air high up in the mountains made someone with Shuu's high endurance and durability long for cover of some sort. His body was fine but the feeling was not pleasant after all. Shuu walked up the narrow path and then arrived at the plateau on the mountain.

There were small buildings here and there and equipment all around the plateau.

"I see you are an early bird or you are just nervous."

Shuu turned around quickly to know who entered his space without him detecting a single trace beforehand at all. When he became a ghoul he passively trained his heightened senses back at the mansion to be able to keep tabs on the Tsukiyama family employees and their movement. This was something he wasn't able to do before being forcefully transmigrated into this world. Back in his world only dolphins, bats, and a few other animals were able to track and monitor living beings in a wide diameter.

Shuu on the other hand is now an S-rank ghoul at the peak of the rank, he was by no means weak even though he considered anything S-rank and below canon fodder.

"...Good morning master, I didn't know you were here. Did you perhaps come to teach us this morning?" Shuu asked and gained composure when he found out that the person who was able to bypass his radar was none other than the 'annoying' Tian Jr.

"Haha, you wish. I don't teach disciples of this level anyway. A senior will come along soon and begin the usual training. The disciples here have had more than a year training their bodies so now they will be training something else. Oh, and the graduation exam is in a few weeks. Do try to survive long enough for me to teach you." Tian jr laughed and rubbed Shuu's head which infuriated him a bit but he turned his head and moved away from him.

"Oh, and how do we eat here?" Shuu turned to ask Tian Jr but all he saw was empty space like the person he was talking to didn't even exist in the first place.

'How is he able to just vanish and appear at will like that? Is that a wind technique? I am sure Sachi doesn't move like that but moves well anyway.' Shuu pondered about what had just happened but chalked it off till he reached a discipleship level where things would be made clear to him.

Two hours and a complete workout later, the outer disciples began shuffling and yawning as they made their way to the plateau. The shirtless disciples looked at Shuu with a frown but he soon understood that he hadn't taken off his shirt since joining the clan. Shuu immediately removed his shirt and got the attention of the fully clothed female disciples and some shirtless male disciples.

He had the face of a Television male idol and a dream body to boot. His torso was filled with sharp lines that defined each muscle group in his body clearly as the sun began to rise and made his body glisten from the sweat he had worked up a bit earlier. His black gold bracelets with gold inscriptions of a rose on his arms and ankles made him look like he was from money and had good taste in fashion.

"Okay, okay!"

Shuu turned around to find where the voice was coming from and found a male disciple with a grey training Gi with a red belt. He had black air and wore an annoyed expression on his face. The outer disciples immediately formed lines in accordance with their height in columns.

'Eh? Is that the new disciple that was rumoured to have broken Cheryl's ankles? He may have a good body but rumours are ruomours.' The disciple in grey training gi looked at Shuu and approached him immediately.
