Chapter 12: Burning gate

Sweat poured down their faces, but that was only their bodily reactions. Their muscles could ache till they reached the great beyond but that didn't matter. Sweat and tears could hinder them, but their bright souls burnt through.

"25 more laps to go, your halfway there now." Kurenai said.

" You better not wave the white flag after 20 diamond push ups Gao, have you become lazy or something." Hirokoshi said.

In a break session.

"Sheesh," Roshi sighed "This is why I hate training arcs."

The group chuckled. It turns out, after going through what felt like hell to get to a better place with people beside you, really helps bonds.

"What, dya wanna go into a war without learning basic procedure? Pfft, you Endless gym people can't make it as phantoms."Vadik teased

"And you can? You were the first to tap out with the continuous running exercise." Yue casually pointed out.

"50 laps again." Kurenai said

Up they stood again and off they went. Round and round and round, till the day ended.

"Good night then."

The girls and the boys went to their separate rooms.

Bang bang bang bang bang. The boys hit the floor. The first day, and all they had was running push ups, sit ups, rest, repeat.

"Well," Haru said, " Do we have to go through that again tomorrow."

Neji smiled " What, you gonna give up already?"

"You looked in a sorry state throughout this whole day, you sure you have anything left?"

(In truth, every single one of them were equally tired, so a few minutes after they hit the hay, they knocked out.)

Day 2

Eighty o'clock in the morning. Yesterday they had been called at five.

Himari, sat up against a wall reading a book, was curious, and proposed, " Maybe they are planning for this day to be different."

"I'd say so, maybe more of an information dump" Yue replied

"To think there's a smart student in the Endless gym. I'm astounded!" Kurenai stated. "Come on, up you pop."

They all sat in the Dojo, with chairs set up and a projector sheet let down. Kurenai led them in.

The projector fizzled on. On the screen, a diagram appeared, seeming to be a power point, and in the center of the stage was resonance.

"Today, you will be learning about the types of power's your enemies may use against you. Get out your notebooks and we can start the lesson."

Hirokoshi stood up and started to hand out packets of biscuits. "You're gonna get hungry, we'll be here for a while."

Crunch. The revision on the five steps of resonance,Increase(increase physical ability) Transfer(telekinesis teleportation) Kiai(the expulsion of energy through the mouth) Burst(Basically green lantern) Resonance burn (Burning your soul to receive unknown power)

"You know of the 8 planets of the Origin Solar system correct?"

"Yes." They all replied

" Each planet holds a different energy type. The first four planets hold the ki of the great attributes, Water, Earth, Fire, Wind. Unlike the more abstract versions of energy, these four things can already be countered and dealt with considering the technological advancement of our age. These are very consistently strong though, so underestimating the creativity that can be infused into a great attribute is an obvious grave mistake."

Crunch.

"Calm your mind. Send your energy from your head to your toe, then cover your fist with as much as you can. Then your right foot, then your left foot. Now transfer that all to your too. Repeat. In your sleep, as you read, while you play videogames, it doesn't matter where you are, do this. It will slowly increase your accuracy and speed of channelling resonance." Hirokoshi said.

Crunch, A week passes.
