At four iernoon, the day's patrol officially ended, and Edgeshot mao shoot two rabbits during their return.

  Without wasting time, he carried the rabbits straight into the kit.

  "Huh? Do we really o start dihis early?" Kaminari asked from the kit doorway, watg Edgeshot wash his hands. He remembered that dinner had been served at six the previous evening.

  "From now o as quickly as you . I'll teach you the 'shuriken teique' during dinner."

  Edgeshot replied quietly, keeping his focus on preparing the rabbits.

  "All right…"

  Kaminari uood his eagero teach the shuriken teique. It was clear Edgeshot's impatieemmed from his passion for ninjutsu.

  "You should head to the bamboo poles and keep practig your meditation. I'll call you when it's ready."

  "Got it," Kaminari nodded before walking away from the kit. Watg someocher rabbits wasn't his idea of a good time anyway.

  ---

  With a quick leap, Kaminari nded lightly on the narrow bamboo pole, bang on one foot. Closing his eyes, he focused on his breathing, slowing it down in rhythm.

  Thud!

  Before long, he lost band fell. But Kaminari said nothing, didn't even brush the dirt off his clothes, and immediately climbed bato the bamboo pole.

  Thud!

  Thud!

  Thud!

  It happened again and again, he would hear the sound of blood rushing in his ears, but he'd lose focus and fall. Yet, Kaminari kept going without a word, silently persevering.

  By the time Edgeshot called him forty mier for dinner, Kaminari's face was covered in dirt, and his cer's Golden Cloth looked even darker from all the dust.

  "You'd better wash up first. There's no way I'm letting you into the kit looking like that," Edgeshot said, shaking his head before turning back to the kit to focus on his shuriken training pns.

  ---

  In the small bathroom of Kaminari's wooden , warm water ran down his body, filling the room with steam. Kaminari stood beh the showerhead, deep in thought.

  "Why am I not making progress? Am I not practig enough, or is this just a limitation of my natural talent when it es to spiritual teiques?"

  His mi repying Edgeshot's instrus. "He said the step after hearing blood flow is to sehe trembling of your muscles. But muscles don't move on their own, it must be the nerves moving them!"

  "So what I really o sense is the subtle vibrations of my nerves. But normal remors are so faint that they're practically impossible to detect."

  "That's why tless hours of meditation are necessary, to gradually strengthen your mind until, one day, you finally sehose faint remors."

  Kaminari's golden eyes suddenly opened, and a strange glint flickered in them.

  "But those steps are for normal people, people who only cultivate their spirit ily. I'm not normal."

  "I accelerate the du speed of my nerves usiricity, f them to 'move' artificially!"

  "If I bihat with meditation… it should work!"

  Kaminari's face lit up with determination. Turning off the shower, he used a quick burst of electricity to evaporate the water on his body. In an instant, he was dry.

  BAM!

  Throwing on his clothes, he kicked open the door and ighe tantalizing smell of roasted rabbit wafting through the air. Instead, he headed straight for the bamboo poles.

  ---

  Edgeshot heard the otion and stepped out of the kit, raising an eyebrow as he saw Kaminari leaping onto the bamboo pole again.

  He didn't ask any questions or insist Kaminari join him for dinner, something about the boy's demeanor stopped him. Kaminari was clearly in an unusual state of focus.

  And then it happened.

  KZZZZZT!

  Kaminari entered a familiar high-voltage state, goldericity crag around his body. The cer's Golden Cloth sparkled brightly, glowing uhe electric currents as though it had been equipped with its own lighting system.

  Meanwhile, Kaminari's excitement soared. He heard it, something different from the sound of blood flow.

  It was faint, like a heartbeat, but quieter and more numerous.

  "Not enough!"

  "The nerve du speed is still too slow!"

  "High-voltage mode—activate!"

  KRAK-BOOM!

  Golden light exploded from Kaminari's body, intensifying the electricity c through him. The previously scattered currents coalesced, f radiant fmes that rose around him. His blonde hair stood on end, shimmering like metallic bdes.

  There it is!

  He heard it—tless tiny drumbeats. It was the sound of his rembling throughout his body.

  "Wait… why haven't I fallen asleep yet?" Kaminari suddenly realized.

  Then it hit him.

  "It's the sounds—the rushing, rhythmic sounds are keeping me awake!"

  "But my body… uhe influence of the breathing teique, it's already entered a deep sleep-like state."

  "This is incredible. It feels like I'm the real world from inside a dream."

  Edgeshot watched from the sidelines, his jaw slightly sck.

  "What the hell is this?"

  "I practiced for half a year just to reach this level, and this kid ma in two days?"

  "Master always said I was a 'ninjutsu genius'… but what does that make this kid?!"

  Edgeshot wasn't oo feel envious, but this ushing him to his limits. He quickly collected himself, though, and began Kaminari more carefully.

  "No… he didn't rely solely on his own seo ehis state. He's using his Quirk to force it."

  "But Kaminari's Quirk is electricity… or does he have some kind of spiritual ability hidden in there?"

  Meanwhile, Kaminari made another discovery.

  "Wait… what's this?"

  He noticed invisible ripples radiating outward from his body. They should have been imperceptible, but in his current state, he could sehem clearly.

  "They look like… magic field lines."

  His studies with Momo oromagics suddenly came to mind, and the knowledge clicked into pce.

  "It is a magic field!"

  "These ripples are magic fields geed by the high-voltage electricity running through my body!"

  "In this state, I actually perceive the presenagic fields."

  His thoughts raced. If he could feel his own magic field, could he extend his awareo detect the fields of other people or objects? By emitting weak radio waves, he might be able to sense everything around him.

  "In theory, every object has a magic field. But right now, I only sense rger ones, like those produced by living beings."

  Kaminari tested his hypothesis by actively spreading faint radio waves outward. Soon enough, he detected a signifit magic field about fifteeers away.

  "I 't believe it!"

  "The bination of meditation and radio waves has created something like a radar!"
