    Before starting the training, Amaterasu explained that even though Kendrick will train in this place for a hundred years, that does not mean he will succeed. Out of 10 people who tries the 100-year training, only 1 will succeed. The training is harsh, as the holiness will be drilled into the skull of each holy sword user. But Kendrick is a different case, since he is carrying two different swords, he needs to train another hundred years with the devil sword to balance his power. Because a one-sided power when you have two is dangerous. Some people have experienced it even though they don’t have two swords. They experienced it by having an unbalance core and sword power. The strength of the sword will also depend on the strength of the core. The core is right exactly at the solar plexus. If a swordsman treats his outer strength important and all, he must do the same thing to the core. Because a weak core will only distribute spiritual energy that is enough for the body to handle.

Amaterasu was right, this is the most brutal and gruesome stage of the entire 100 years of training. The pain, the agony and grief cannot be described in this. Kendrick is even wondering that how can they call this a training when it is meant to leave physical and mental trauma to those who undergoes it.“What is the matter, Ken? Don’t you rather join us, than to avenge us?” all of them said at once.Kendrick stood up and faced them,“I do want to join you guys. Because without vengeance, I would serve no purpose.
