"I can't see."
"I can't move."
"None of my senses seem to be working right."
"Hold on, haven't I been through this before?"
"This feels oddly familiar."
"Wait, is that a truck horn?"
"Oh nice I can see again, barely though."
"What's that light?"
"Is it getting closer?"
"Wait a minute.."
"IS THAT A TRUCK?"
"OH MY GOD!"
"IT'S YOU AGAIN!"
"NO NOT THIS TIME!"
"I AM NOT GONNA DIE!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Oh wait.."
"Isn't this my room?"
"Oh , so it was all a dream."
"Oh boy , I really have to thank myself for bring back the trauma that I had in my previous life."
As I was dozing off since my blissful slumber was abruptly interrupted by that trauma induced nightmare, memories of the incident that took place the day before came flooding back.
"I remember now , I have a lot of plan for today!"
"I need to get stronger quick!"
"But most importantly , I need to find Reborn for training!"
Out of a sudden , a voice echo across my room.
"You called?"
This immediately causes me to be in a state of shock by the abrupt appearance of the mysterious figure.
I immediately noticed that the noise was coming from the drawer.
"Could it be?"
While approaching the drawer , all of a sudden it abruptly slides opened.
Inside the drawer was a fancy room filled with the aroma of coffee.
"Ciaosu" Reborn said.
"Reborn!? Why are you here at my house?" I shouted in surprised.
"But , I owned this house." Reborn said while shrugging
"Well , I was supposed supervised you in secret ever since you arrived in Japan."
"But ever since yesterday's incident got out of hand , I have to appeared right in front of you now."
Realizing my purpose of going to meet Reborn , I immediately told him
"So , are you going to train me..?"
Hearing about my request , Reborn looked at me.
"I have a simple question for you."
"Why do you pursue strength?"
"Is it for reigning over the family , for wealth , or for strength."
Hearing all this , only a single sentence have appeared in my mind.
"To survive."
Hearing this answer of mine , Reborn only replied with a grin on his face.
"Let's go to a much more open space , shall we?"

*Somewhere at the forest*
"...."
"Where are we heading to!? We have been walking for quite a while already."
"Can we take a break!?" said Zen in a very exhausted voice.
"We will take a break after we arrive the riverside. It won't take long."
"If you can't even handle this , how are you gonna handle your training?" said Reborn as he looked at me with concerned eyes for the rest of the journey.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After walking for half a day , we have finally reached the riverside.
Extremely exhausted from walking for half a day , I immediately dived into to the river and drank the water.
"Nothing is better than pure spring water by the mountain" Said Zen looking refreshed.
"Indeed." replied Reborn.
Remembering that Reborn was still with me , I turned to his voice to find something that I would never have expected anyone to do for my entire existence.
He was pissing at the river.....
The instant I noticed it, I tried to get out of the river immediately.
I feel like I'm going to vomit.
This world hates me...
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*After taking a break*
"Now that you have taken a break , it's time to get to business." said Reborn while I was still trying to get over what he did just now.
"I have noticed a fatal flaw in you yesterday during the fight between you and Gokudera.
It seems to me like you do not have any control over your dying will flame at all.
It seemed like you went berserk.
Maintaining calm is one of the most important things in combat.
You need to hit with precision, strength and emotion.
But no matter what, you should never lose control.
Things would've ended a lot more worse for the both of you if I wasn't there to heal you.
Therefore, this training is to make sure you maintain composure and to control your flames.
To control your flames , you will have to train a lot both mentally and physically.
Your body is a vessel , in order to contain the huge power of the flame , it needs to be able to handle the stress of the flame.
If you can't, in fights of attrition you will be put in immense pressure and will ultimately die as your flame will devour your untrained body from the inside out."
"Alright, enough of talking. Shall we start our training now?"
"Wait I think I heard something really dangerous. "
"Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you train."
"Is that a death threat?" I shuddered a little.
"If you can joke like that you can start your training." Reborn smiled at me as he looked slightly suspicious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*In Zen's head*
What Reborn said was both scary and enlightening at the same time.
I have no choice but to use the flame and he knows it.
I am a member of the Vongola family and Gokudera is out for blood.
Its only a matter of time before someone attacks me.
I have no choice.
This isn't my world.
I need to protect myself here and the only one who can protect me is me. I have no choice but to say yes.

"Are you ready Zen?"
"Yes" I replied with determination in my eyes.
Hearing what I said , Reborn gave me a slight smirk.
"Than.."
"First of all... Climb this mountain."
"....."
"HUH?!"
