Training 2/2
JIN TAEJIN'S POV-
I was in the mountains resting and enjoying retirement after so many years of fighting villains left and right, "Hah...who am I kidding? I'm just hoping some brat strong enough would become a villain and I can fight once again", ranting to the air of how little villains in S. Korea there are.
'Maybe I should go to the Middle East, a lot of terrorist organizations are holding up there', I couldn't help but think to myself since all I do is rest in this godforsaken mountain with my cabin and browse the internet.
"If only Mori was still here...but now he's at that Middle School studying until he enters HEROES OF KOREA ACADEMY (HOK Academy) to get his Hero's Licen-RING RING~"
I was taken out of my self monologue because of my telephone, a phone that I did not expect to ring, this phone only rings when something important pops up, 'I guess I'll be having fun soon'
*Click*
"..."
[It's Ryu]
The caller introduced his name and I was genuinely surprised to hear who it was since we rarely converse and only did deals when I was still active.
"Hooo, what does the kid need?", I asked since I was rather curious what this was about.
[I'll use the favor you promised before]
His tone of voice didn't change, 'So he's finally using my promise, I wonder what will he ask, Kill or Protect?', I thought to myself since these are the only two I have been asked to do when I exchange for a favor.
But his favor actually surprised me since no one has ever asked me of this,
[Train my daughter, she's planning to be a Hero and I need her prepared]
"...", I couldn't say anything for a moment since it was just too new of a request.
"Well this is new, is your daughter breaking off from tradition? The Asakura Family will finally have a Hero?", surprise after surprise and just from a single call.
[It's her life, thus we decided to support her instead. So, will you accept?]
I thought for a moment but decided to just go with it since I basically have all this free time anyway.
"I have few conditions, nothing too hard"
[Go on.]
"Your daughter can't complain, no tears, in short, I'll train her however I want.", I gave my conditions since even if I have all the free time in the world right now, I still wouldn't want to waste my time on nothing.
[Very well, when can I expect your arrival?]
"Next week"
*Hangs Up*
"Well, well, if the child is strong...Mori just might meet his match"

Getting down from a private jet that was provided for me, I was quite surprised to see who was waiting for me at the terminal, it was the supposed daughter of Ryu.
'And here I thought the kid would wait at home, has respect? Check.', I thought to myself and began walking towards her.
Before I could say anything she bowed and immediately took out a piece of pen and a sheet of thick paper, "Thank you for agreeing to teach me! May I also have your autograph?", she said as she bowed.
'Very rarely do people ask autographs from me, Oh well'
"Let's talk along the way, and yes, I'll give you an autograph", I said as I grabbed the pen and paper and immediately signed it for the young girl.
Walking along the way, "My name is Kaga Asakura, 12 Years Old, and my quirk is [Arctic Fox]!", she skipped along the way but suddenly stopped and looked at my feet.
'Hm? Why is she looking at my feet?'
"Jin Sensei, you don't make a sound when you walk?", she said curiously as she started walking normally too maybe to try it.
"I'm surprised you noticed that, but this is more of a habit after years of practicing martial arts, I spread the weight on my body making it so that I don't make noise when walking", I explained and was generally surprised that she noticed it since barely anyone notices it.
"Kid, mind explaining how you noticed it?", decided to satiate my curiosity.
"Well, my ears are sensitive to sound, and I guess my body expected to hear footsteps but instead I heard none", she explained as we neared the car.
'Hmm...How good can she hear? There are some who can hear the movement of muscles'
However, I was taken out of my thoughts when she suddenly threw me a question that I have heard of.
"Umm...Sensei, do you happen to know [Ultra Instinct]?", she asked if star-filled eyes.
'U...Ultra what?'
"Kid, mind elaborating it?", I asked and was genuinely curious since it sounded like Martial Arts.
"It's where the body automatically moves on its own, like in those moments where your body suddenly just decided to block an attack or vice versa but you didn't even mean to move", she elaborated the meaning of it and I couldn't help but think.
'When your body automatically moves on its own?', I have always thought of those instances as lucky moments during my years of fighting, but now that I think of it, I can't help but get excited since it feels like a whole new level of Martial Arts.
A huge grin grew on my face, "Interesting. And since you asked, I'm guessing you want to try and achieve it? How will you practice it anyway?"
Then what she said halted me in my tracks...
"I don't know, keep getting hit while all my senses are covered, like blindfolded and Ear plugged?", she said as she looked at me straight in the eyes.
"Let's see your foundation first shall we?", I said since to reach an autonomous state still means you need a foundation to back it up.

-Car ride...-
.
Arriving at the place where I deemed best to train which was basically a plain grassy field instead of the training facility the Asakura Family prepared for us to train.
"Sensei, if I may ask, why here?"
"Simple, your training facility would be destroyed", I answered her and she immediately understood why.
I then began telling her the conditions I gave to her father to which he agreed to and the kid in front of me simply nodded, 'As expected of his daughter'
"Now, use everything you have against me!", as I said this the blood starts pumping within my body due to excitement and I went and readied myself.
Though I didn't need to enter any sort of stance anymore as after mastering the Renewal Recoiless concept, I could attack without getting into position, hence I only readied myself to what I deemed comfortable.
*FREEZE!*
The ground and area around us turned to ice which centered around the kid as the main source of it. Next, she covered all tips of her nine tails with spears of ice making it sharp and lethal.
Hands became claws of ice while her feet's toes had almost become that of a dragon's claw making it so that gripping on ice is easy.
'Huh...making a domain fit for her use and using every part of her body like a weapon', I thought and observed the field whether she can only produce her ice from her or manipulate it as well.
*Krssshhh*
And I was right, medium-sized pillars of ice came shooting from underneath me, while I simply tilted my body back and started twisting it with my right leg dragged along.
As my right leg was dragged across the ground, I sweep kicked the ice pillar's base and cutting it off from the ground.
With the pillar off the ground and its moment swayed horizontally making it straight, taking this chance I [Sonic Punched] it, effectively making it like a bullet.
[AN- Sonic Punch is a personal skill of Jin Tae-Jin in his younger days]
The ice pillar traveled across the air and headed towards the kid, who had eyes widened from surprise but immediately went to dodge it in the nick of time and my attack only managed to graze her and lose her stance.
Not wasting the opportunity of her imbalance, I tightened the muscles within my legs and dashed forward, instantly appearing behind her.
[Bo-Bup- Movement technique in Renewal Taekwondo where the user looks as if they are appearing instantly anywhere around their opponent.]
*Fwoosh~*
In my position of rushing like a sprinter, I used [Baekdu] in which is a knee strike that serves to lift the opponent up in the air to chain combo strikes while the opponent is still disoriented.
My knee strikes the base of her tails which I guess to be a sensitive area to target, the moment my knee landed she grunted in pain as her body helplessly raised from the ground.
"Ark!"
With her body placed in a horizontal position, I used [Bo-Bup] again and appeared on top of her. I attacked her next by dropping both of my elbows in a downward motion, effectively aiming to strike her abdominal area.
*Krshhhh* (Ice sounds)
Though to my surprise, she coated her abdomen in a layer of scales made out of ice, 'With its scale-like structure it could spread the damage...good thinking', I thought to myself while in motion.
*crack!*
Not caring for the layer of armor, my elbows impacted her body cracking the ice scales and sent her crashing down onto the icy floor.
*BOOM!*
Landing on the ground, I looked at the kid and was shocked to see she was still conscious, "So, you're still awake? Good! But, I'll stop here and tell you your weaknesses so far"
Listening to what I said I saw her nod and pant heavily due to my attack which took the air out of her.
"You don't understand your opponent. I rely on my physical body which means my senses are honed to the max, especially after decades of fighting.
Your ice while most won't notice, but to people like me with keen hearing, your ice is quite noisy so it's easy to know where the ice will pop out from next.
It needs a better control to the point where you can soften the noise or even cancel it altogether.
Next, you might not notice but the base of your tails is quite sensitive, meaning if an effective strike hits you there you would be stunned from the pain, just like earlier.
Don't show to your opponents that you are surprised, it was easily read since I could feel that it was genuine emotion, rather than that of a trap.
Now...for your good points.
Since you managed to stay conscious even after receiving multiple attacks from me, it means your body is quite strong and has been trained over the years.
Especially since you have a similar body to your mother's physic that naturally enhances her body's physical prowess. It's just that you aren't used to fighting people with the same speed as me, which surprised you.
The last one would be you converting the terrain to your advantage, a smart move, you didn't just throw and bombard me with ice.
Overall? You are already stronger than your average Pro-Hero, I mean, you are awake even after my beatings.
Anyway, that'll be it for today, for now, practice your tails since that's your strongest muscle, second comes your legs."
I advised the girl who was laying on the ground, as I walked away, leaving her to her own reflections.
'Strong for her age.', is all I could think of, all I knew is that if I allowed her to control the flow it would've been a slightly harder fight.

(CHEERS! Please tell me if the fight scene was okay or not so I would know whether I should improve on it or not, THANKS!)
UPDATE: I saw a comment saying that Kaga can't be cloned, I apologize on my part for Twice or Mr. Jin duplicating her.
Since during that time I viewed Twice's power as something temporary, it doesn't have the blood and organs. This is why I stated that when Mr. Jin uses his quirk on Kaga, all he gets is an emotionless Kaga with memories that can only follow orders.
Hence why Kaga ordered all the fake Kaga's to draw mangas because if an exact copy were to happen, a copy of Kaga wouldn't allow herself to slave away like that.
Anyway, peace
