Kenshin is eager to learn more about the ultimate technique of the Hiten-Mitsurugi Style, but Hiko is initially dismissive of Kenshin's progress since they last saw each other.

Kenshin is persistent and determined to learn from Hiko, but Hiko is equally determined to push Kenshin to his limits in order to prove whether or not he is truly worthy of the ultimate technique. The two engage in intense and rigorous training, with Hiko pushing Kenshin to the brink of exhaustion and beyond.
