Mount Momiji.
Having finished a day of training, the grandfather and grandson were sitting at the table eating dinner.
Zenitsu had done very well with his training tasks that day. Relying on his naturally powerful hearing, he could already handle Jigoro Kuwajima's surprise attacks when the latter held back a little.
Setting aside the exception that was Kanzaki Kumo, going from a boy who knew nothing to someone who could barely handle a former Rumble Hashira's surprise attacks in just a few months was already very fast progress.
As a result, training had ended early that day, and the sky had not even darkened by dinnertime.
To reward Zenitsu's hard work, Kuwajima had specially made plenty of his favorite dishes. Watching Zenitsu wolf down his food, Jigoro Kuwajima wore a smile as well.
Since becoming a Cultivator, he had taught three people in succession.
The first, Kanzaki Kumo, had been far too sensible, with talent so absurdly strong that he had barely gotten to experience being his teacher.
The second, Tengen Uzui, had been recommended by Kanzaki Kumo. When it came to respecting his teacher, he was leagues ahead of Kanzaki Kumo, who could never stay serious for more than three seconds. Throughout his instruction, Tengen had observed every courtesy, and his attitude toward learning had been impeccable.
However, Tengen Uzui already had a solid foundation in martial arts, and he had studied Thunder Breathing mainly for reference. The entire teaching process had not lasted very long, so Kuwajima had not gotten much of an experience out of it either.

Perhaps Zenitsu still had a few flaws in his personality, but
