Teaching Raiju

KJ bowed and left to go back home. When he got back he met with Kabal. "Kabal I'm going to be changing my plans. I won't be leaving to train. All 3 of us will be training together in the courtyard."

Kabal: 3 of us? I'll be healing in my bed, please don't bother me for the next while

KJ nodded his head and responded before leaving. "Yes…. There will be a tournament in 2 months. I will be teaching Raiju how to properly wield the sword. He will also be your training partner in the future…. Who knows, you two may even grow close."

KJ left for his bed and dived straight into the cold pillows. They supported his head perfectly and he fell into a deep sleep. KJ finally woke up, he didn't know how long he was asleep for.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

KJ was a bit groggy but he tried his best to wake himself up. He got to the door and opened it.

"I've finally been able to heal all my injuries. I made it a priority to get over here as soon as possible."

So it was Raiju.

KJ moved to the side. "Come right in. I'll have to speak with my brother Kabal and let him know of your arrival. Just take a seat and I'll be right back."

KJ slipped into Kabal's room. Kabal seems to have healed well. It was evident that his healing ability had increased.

KJ: Kabal it seems that you're almost healed up. I have some good news… Raiju is finally here. I'll give you a bit more time to heal up and relax. However, later on, today we will be training once more. I'll be briefing Raiju on what's going to happen. If you need me for anything just call my name

KJ pulled a chair to the side and took a seat.

KJ: Raiju I've called you here for the tournament. Most importantly…. I called you here because you recently switched weapons. If you haven't heard this then let it be the first time...

KJ intentionally lowered his voice a couple of octaves. "I am the successor of the Endless Abyss. I will be the King in the future and as a King, I need my pawns. However, I won't be a tyrant ruler. I will be benevolent. Others may use their men like pawns but I will treat those that care for me as my family. My own flesh and blood. I used to have a saying... I do not have any friends, only family…. and acquaintances. If you aren't any of them then you must be dead hahahahaha."

KJ looked at Raiju carefully as he remembered the 3 demon generals who he used to call his brothers.

KJ: Raiju I promise to treat you as a brother if you would take me as one. I wish to have a world where the good prosper. Also….. under me, I can promise to give you power that would otherwise be unavailable to you. Please think about thi-

Raiju cut KJ off and answered hurriedly. "I agree."

KJ was stunned for a second. "Are you sure….. you're deciding that quickly? If that is the case then I will decide as well. In the future, you will be a top General in my army!"

Raiju: I'm sure. Martial Artists talk with their fists. I learned wondrous things about you in the Training Grounds. When our spears clashed it taught me and showed me many things. I already know more than enough about your character to make a decision

KJ: Ok, then sit down for a little bit and get comfortable. I'm going to let you know some things about this world that not many know yet. Remember to focus and remember as many things as you can...…. So it's all like this.................................................... ...................................................… ...................................................... .........…. I know it's a lot to take in but with enough time you'll see the truth

Eventually, KJ finished telling Raiju everything he needed to know. When he looked out the window it was starting to get dark.

KJ: Raiju follow me outside and bring that sword with you. I'll tell you a bit about that sword and I'll also be teaching your swordsmanship
