(Ivan's POV)
When the video started, I saw two people standing in an arena that was underground. The arena was loud, and I saw a lot of people cheering for this guy named Rome. The first person I saw was some guy who looked like he was in his mid-forties. He was on the right side of the arena. He looked like a crackhead that rolled around in the mud. He looked like he was starving, and I saw that his clothes were hanging loosely on him. The person on the right looked like he was around my age. He was more muscular and he was tall for his age. His clothes were clean and smooth, and he had some sort of bag on his back. At his side he had a sword, but I didn't know what kind of sword it was. The sword on long and it curved a little, but it didn't look like a katana. I heard a buzzer ring and they started to run at each other. I wonder which one is the demigod. It better not be the crack head or else I might give up on life.
(Third person Omniscient POV)
As the buzzer rang the two figures rushed at each other the person with the sword jumped high into the air. When he started to fall back down, he did some strange hand signs, when he was done his back arched back and fire came from his mouth. The crackhead quickly dodged the fireball, but the other person was already there. He went for a quick punch to the sides, but the crackhead suddenly crumpled to dust. He began to do the weird hand signs again, but this time he was interrupted when the crackhead reassembled himself out of dirt and kicked him in the head. As he went flying through the air, he did the same hand signs as before and this time instead of a fireball a huge burst of flames surrounded him and expanded away from him. The crackhead couldn't doge this attack. When he was hit with the flames, he managed to block some of it with the smoke around the body which came Soul. He quickly made a golem out of dirt. The golem was eight feet tall and it had four arms coming out from the sides.
At first the golem wasn't moving. It started moving when the crackhead put some of his aura into the golem. The golem started to rush at the other person. He reached into his bag without looking and he pulled out some paper. He threw the paper at the golem. Somehow unlike normal paper it flew through the air and it stuck itself to the golem. In the next second the golem exploded. He didn't notice the crackhead sneak up behind him and the crackhead pulled out a knife and went for his throat. when the knife struck his throat, smoke appeared. The crack head took a few steps back and looked around the arena, but he was nowhere to be found. When he looked back at where the person with the sword was a boulder stood in his place.
He decided to spread out the smoke surrounding him. After a few seconds of doing that he stopped. He looked alert, but eventually when a few minutes passed he started to calm down. He made multiple golems and made them surround him. Suddenly the boulder broke into pieces and out came the other person surrounded in a ball of fire. The golems tried to grab him but when they did the fire spread on to them and started to burn them. The crackhead started to turn into dirt again. The other guy started to do the same hand signs from before and this time he was able to finish. When he finished it, the ground was engulfed in flames. The crack head came out of the ground and he started to scream. He quickly took out his sword and dashed towards him. In a blur he stabbed him in the middle of his torso, and he started to use all his strength to move his sword though the body. When he got he sword through the body he started to walk away and the video ended.
5:57 pm
(Ivan's POV)
When the video ended, I was stunned at what I just saw. Can all demigods fight like that? How can he just move so fast? What does this have to do with my training? I look at Dominique and he was doing something on his phone. I took this chance to ask what I was going to do. "What does the video have to do with my training." He ignores me and he shows me his phone. The plays the video again, but this time it was only the part when the guy with the sword was in the air at the beginning of the fight. Instead of showing everything that happened the video was zoomed in on the hand gestures he was doing. Thankfully this time it was in slow motion so I could see what he was doing. I still didn't know what was happening. I look at Dominique again and he this time he was looking at me with a devilish grin.
"I want you to copy every hand gesture he was doing." HOW. I don't even know what he was doing with his hands. I sigh and the video restarts. I start to copy the hand signs and I see Dominique panic. He puts his hand to my face and he points to the boxes from before.
"Do it in the direction of the boxes. If you somehow do it first time we would die from the fire." I felt stupid when he said this. I should've I thought of that.
"Can I take the phone so I can see what he was doing?"
"Sure, go ahead." I take the phone from this hand and I turn to the direction of the boxes and I sit down on the floor. I start to copy him. At first, I failed to copy him, my fingers could bump into each other or my fingers were in the wrong place. Eventually I started to get the hang of it. Now my fingers were missing up less, but I would still get it wrong when I was about to finish. Shit! How can someone even do all of these signs? Hell, how can anyone even remember them! I didn't realize being a demigod was this hard. I practice again, but a though appears in my mind. How come I don't have to use hand signs when I control the wind? Does this mean I can use other powers without using hand signs? I try to visualize the fire coming from my mouth, but to my disappointment nothing happened.
It was worth a try. I go back to practicing. I tried again and again. It was starting to get dark, but somehow, I managed to do all of it. When I was done, I felt something burning in my stomach. The burning feeling went away as it made its way through my neck. My back arched back, and my mouth started to open on its own. When the fire came out, I felt its heat for a second as it quickly went towards the bottles. The fireball was small compared to the guy in the video, but I was still proud of myself. The fireball hit one of the bottles and the bottle shattered. "Fuck yeah!"
I suddenly started to feel my body start to fall down. I land on my arm and notice that my Mp bar was empty. I saw Dominique rush over to me and he picks me up. My eye lids start to close, but I try to resist. Eventually I couldn't resist anymore, and I felt myself lose consciousness.
10:46 pm
When I woke up, I felt like I ran marathon. I look around and notice I'm on Dominique's couch. I sat up and I felt my arms and legs were lighter than before. I look at my arms and notice that the weights I had on were gone. I look around for Dominique, but the apartment was empty. I try to get up from the couch and my body gets hit with a wave of pain. I lay back down and see two boxes appear. The first box said most of wounds were healed, but since I used too much Mp my body will be a little tired. The second box was about a new skill.
Thanks to you doing a specific action you gained a new skill!
Pyrokinesis- The ability to control fire.
Lvl 1 (32%) Fire Spitting- You can spit fireballs from your mouth. I don't know why you would want to do this it sounds terrible. Damage 70. Mp used per use 70. Note can only be used with hand signs so far.
I look at how much Mp it costs, and I look at my Mp bar. How was I able to use this. Now that I think of it whenever I use too much Mp I always pass out. I guess Gamer's Body was a lie then. The last part about the hand signs was simple enough. I do wonder why I don't need to used hand signs to control the wind. Maybe it's because my dad is Fūjin? Then who is his parent? I guess the god is your parent affects what you're then. I don't know if that's true or not. I decide to get take my mind off it and I fall back to sleep.

(Ivan's POV)
Over the last two days Dominique thought me how to box and how to use my powers.The only thing that changed for my powes was only my Aero kinesis skills. He wouldn't let me use my Pyrokinesis skill. I did notice that while I was training my Move air skill description changed. It now said something about a boost, it didn't do much but I was still grateful for it. The only thing I didn't like about his training was that he made me wear the training weights all day and night because he said if I wasn't able to handle that kind of training I wouldn't survive for very long. I did raise my strength by a few points though, but I still had some difficulty moving around in them. I wasn't able to level up though so my almost all my other stats were the same. The only stats that changed was Vit, Str, and Dex.
Today though Dominique had no training for me today. When I asked him why and he said, "I think I have a cold, so I don't feel like doing anything for the next few days." After he said that he went to sleep, and I decided to train in the dungeon. Shit I haven't been here in a while I wonder if there are more Onis than before. I open the entrance to the dungeon, and I walk in. When the wall closes behind me, I take off the training weights and I prepare to explore the dungeon.
