Chapter 14 Vol.1

Chapter 14:Fubuki's final lesson

4 months later, I had finished mastering all of the forms of Ki, both outer and inner Ki too.

"Do you think it's over? Now you will be learning martial Ki" [Fubuki]

"You mean fighting using Ki?" [Edge]

"Precisely"[Fubuki]

"First we must start with earth. For it's the basis for using other elements of Ki to fight. Use earth to strengthen your density and muscle when attacking and use it to increase your toughness when defending."[Fubuki]

"Understood."[Edge]

"You already learned how to fight from Calli correctly? Try your moves now when applying to harden and increase your strengthening."[Fubuki]

I did as I was told but Fubuki pointed out weak spots that I didn't harden when defending or reasons my punch swayed from the target due to not strengthening certain parts of the body.

I was left exhausted at the end of the day and decided to look up books from the vault to help me get better at it. And I found a book that theorize concentrating on just the necessary muscles to strengthen or harden could increase efficiency and could act as a tactic to guide attacks. However it's just a theory, an old theory so I just had to try due to having a low amount of Ki.

"Calli can you skin me alive?"[Edge]

Calli placed her cup of wine down.

"What do you mean?"[Calli]

I told her about the theory and she agreed to do it.

"Why did you come to me to do this?" [Calli]

"I figured that maybe you could make it painless" [Edge]

Calli skinned me parts that could reveal the muscle moving whenever I make a movement. From having better imaging of the contractions and relaxation I have been able to prove the theory to be successful. now I could apply partial application of earth Ki on just the necessary areas of my body. I hope I can imagine the shocked face she'll make when she see my progress.

"You've graduated." [Fubuki]

"What?" [Edge]

"You heard me right, you've graduated." [Fubuki]

"But how," [Edge]

" you already perfected the final stage of the art" [Fubuki]

"You must be kidding me, what about the rest of it?" [Edge]

"You simply conjure it while using strengthening and hardening as base." [Fubuki]

"What? I see, so it's all really over." [Edge]

Fubuki gave off a bright smile unlike her usual demeanor and turned away, walking out of the field. I yelled out at the top of my lungs.

"Thanks for everything Fubuki-sensei."[Edge]

She turns back and said

"No, I'm not your sensei anymore so you should call me something else."[Fubuki]

"Like Fubuki-chan?"[Edge]

"NO, FRIENDS OK! FRIENDS!"[Fubuki]

"Okay friend!"[Edge]

And that's how I made my first friend in my life.
