(This will count as an x110 gravity for Rei, the pressure of the darkness within Rei steadily making it more difficult to function sanely within the cave.)
Unfortunately for Conan it seemed his actual training had been delayed a few days, sure she had sparred a few times with him, but this was different, this time she was going to make him experience such an intensive training that he would become a lot stronger than he was right now. It might had sounded like a fairy-tale, to obtain power through mere training, but this wasn't going to be mere training, in the end that wouldn't explain why Reikiko had taken him to the entrance of a spacious cavern. The lilac-skinned woman turned toward him, lips curved into a grin as she gestured with a hand inside.
"This is where we'll be training, I'd advice against going in here by yourself. To explain your training program, we'll be sparring, but not just any ordinary spar..."
the bio-android hummed mysteriously as she started walking inside, waiting for Conan to follow after her, and after crossing several corridors they appeared at what seemed to be a pretty ordinary cavern, sure there was this mysterious black mist drifting around, but it seemed fairly harmless by itself.
"We'll be fighting for real. I'm going to steadily fight you on a higher difficulty, first as an enemy equal to yourself, then slowly it grows worse. The advantage of this place is that you don't die, but things like pain are still very real, and with neither hunger or exhaustion to worry about... Now the thing you need to know, normally if you are killed within the afterlife people seem to get stuck in a short 'daze' of sorts, but in this cave it's different. Look at the surface..."
If Conan looked toward the ground he would likely see that the ground was slightly covered in the same black mist from before.
"Each time I kill you, there will be a moment you're forced to relive one of your nightmares, a 'punishment' for dying so to speak."
She smiled briefly at the boy before stepping toward the opposite side of the room, adopting a fighting stance that seemed to be mostly balanced in offense and defense.
"Don't worry too much about it, you'll find out soon that the physical training and the psychological torture will harden you... or break you in the process."
Yet despite the jest her expression seemed to had hardened.
"Make the opening move Conan, I'll adjust my movements and strength to give you a fair chance as a starting exercise!"

Training Exercise!
Reikiko will fight you at an increasingly more difficult power level. However each time you'll 'die' you will experience a nightmare, one that grows more horrible with each death. Upon dying you basically just got to do a short 'fragment' of Conan experiencing a nightmare related to his character/story (for example being killed by Etoru) and then have him regain consciousness
