As soon as he remained in horse stance for ten minutes he quietly switched over to bow stance. Taking one arm to his side he quickly shifted his feet towards one side extending the fist he kept as his side forward while pulling his other fist into the same position against his side. Once extended to its proper position he pulled back into horse stance and did the same thing again only to the opposing fist and direction. While mistaken for simple punching, the entire movement took a while to get used to.

Ritsuka started out slowly as usual checking his posture while he did so. It didn't help that he still slouched whenever he was feeling exhausted which always threw off his stances. Shifting from horse stance to right bow stance and back followed by horse stance into left bow stance allowed him to get a rhythm going. He was never as fast as he usually saw from masters like both Li Shuwen and to a lesser extent Ishtar as well but he kept up a decent pace to deal with most mooks if the need ever actually arrived.

After twenty minutes of practicing Ritsuka slowly began moving one punch. This was where he usually faltered. Taking horse stance once more he moved his left foot west extended his left arm forward and at the last moment tensing his whole body as if punching a target. Then he repeated with the opposing arm and leg returning to horse stance every strike. Ritsuka stepped forward too far after the first forty punches and pulled himself back.

While it would have been better to do these punches in sets, Ritsuka had always been overzealous when it came to training with heroic spirits. Being in front of a master of their art had already been overwhelming… but failing the stance was slightly demoralizing.

"Keep it together Ritsuka. Sixty more to go…" Taking a deep breath to find his center once more, he slowly continued his punching spree. Unfortunately, he was only doing the basics for the moment mainly to keep them fresh in his mind.

As soon as he reached one hundred he fell flat on his back breathing slightly heavily. Doing all sets in a row was taxing… and without those that usually stopped him overzealousness made it all the worse. Chiding himself, Ritsuka took a break.

After fifteen minutes he switched over to a boxer style. Martha has been… insistent that he learned the combat sport taught to him by Jacob. At first he had thought that learning how to fight against angels might be pushing what he was going to face in the future.

Now he was in a world where angels and devils exist. Perhaps the world was creating this situation for their own amusement. Artoria, original style, had made some snide remarks to that idea with Merlin corroborating that story as well.

Of course there in laid the biggest problem. Jacob's Limb as she so aptly called it on the spot was a combination of several different fighting styles in modern times into one. It was a mixture of Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wing Chun with some ties to Karate.

That had been a headache to learn the first stances. It was even harder to do since unlike Martha he didn't have the arm strength to toss Tarasque around. Though Tarasque had attempted to get Ritsuka away from Martha before things got messy. Not that it helped in the long run.

Several minutes followed of lunges, crunches, burpees, all to be done within ten minute intervals then repeated for an hour. Ritsuka wondered if he was even doing any of this right since Martha wasn't here to literally force him into the right posture whenever he got off track.

Ritsuka stopped his exercises and sat down on the spot… the only sound being his breathing. It had only been two days and he was already this worried. He could hear the sound of his teeth grinding against one another, the cracking of his fingers as he clenched his hands. He was nervous. Shimousa was the first time where he had no one but Musashi by his side and he nearly died several times over all due to the fact that that particular Alter Ego singled him out as the highest threat level.

He had fooled around long enough. It was time to figure out how those class cards worked. Pulling out his storage device Ritsuka sorted out the class cards singling out the Caster servants. That gave him pause though.

"Who do I even try…?" Ritsuka poured over his notes figuring out which servant could possibly help him reach through dimensional spacetime barriers to reach Chaldea… if these class cards could actually do so. Unfortunately he still didn't know how to work.

As he pulled out the deck a small note slipped off onto the ground. Intrigued, Ritsuka picked it up.

Ritsuka poured over the note… and really wanted to call on Caster Gil at the moment. Weapons and Abilities were a very broad scope Also the fact that they were unsure also made things very worrying.

"Crap… okay… um… let's just try one then." Ritsuka gulped as he pulled out Medea's card.

Her magic was one of the strongest and most likely to breach across the barriers of spacetime, maybe. This was all still a very touch and go process at this point.

"Install Class Card: Medea." Ritsuka called out. The card entered his chest and he could feel his entire body pulse and shake from the sudden influx of spells.

His mind was awash in fires as memories of killing a little brother followed by those who stole her life away flashed in his mind. The times working with the Argonauts. Fighting in Fuyuki with a strange gaunt man. A near complete burst of everything Medea knew spell wise flashed through as well.

Ritsuka hunched over exhausted by the sudden rush keeping himself up on his hands instead of laying flat on the floor. As he stood he noticed that his feet no longer touched the ground. He was floating in the air. Owlishly blinking, he floated through the air never really losing his balance but never touching the ground. He focused on landing and his feet touched the ground once more. He focused on floating and he rose a few inches off the ground.
