Martial Arts(Part 2)

"Alright pick these up"

Shu ordered while dropping two boulders in front of Ean causing the ground to crack

"These are about 5 to 6 tons, you should be able to pick them up quite easily"

Said Shu as while Ean's jaw simply dropped, afraid of what the boy would ask of him next

"5 tons?..."

Ean asked in disbelief as Shu simply nodded making Ean sweat in fear

"Why don't we try something easier?.."

Ean offered while poking one of the boulders as Shu simply chuckled

"Nope"

Shu replied with a childish tone making Ean sigh while lowering his head

"Fine.."

Ean whispered before bending down grabbing onto the sides of one of the boulders while charging his arms with sanctuary energy

"Oh right I forgot to tell you, sanctuary Energy will be restricted when it comes to testing your strength"

Said Shu while putting a finger up as if he was adding rules to some sort of list

"Are you kidding me? Ugh, fine"

Ean sighed as the sanctuary energy around his arms vanished while he then attempted to pick up one of the boulders, separating his legs while nearly stabbing his fingers into the rock in an attempt to raise it up even a bit, groaning as he arched his back before dropping down on the ground breathing heavily as his fingers bled

"H-how the hell do you expect me to pick these up? And what am I even picking them up for? Isn't it better to just teach me more stances?"

Ean questioned not trying to pick up the boulders while Shu simply stared at him

"Sure, we can do that but then..."

Said Shu, agreeing with Ean as Ean turned to look at him with a smile opening his mouth in an attempt to say something but Shu interrupted him continuing with his words

"How would you harm your opponent? Sure you may have skill, but you also need strength. Grandpa once told me that a Martial Artist Shouldn't only focus on training their skill but instead, they should train not only their strength but also their speed or else they'd be completely destroyed in the face of absolute strength"

Added Shu to his earlier unfinished statement as Ean simply stared at him before standing up from the ground cleaning up his pants before attempting to pick up the boulder one more time

"Hey what are you doing?"

Shu questioned while shoving his right pinky finger inside of his own nose

"Huh? I mean, I'm picking up the boulders just like you told me to"

Ean replied while taking a few steps away from the boulder

"What? No, forget about those, I just wanted to test out how strong you were before we actually attempted to train"

Said Shu before taking his pinky out of his nose, blowing on his finger to then proceed to clean it off on Ean's shirt

"Come on let's go for a run"

Shu ordered while jumping up and down slightly beginning to run right afterward as Ean soon followed Along

"Why are we running?"

Ean questioned while running side by side with Shu

"We're building up Stamina"

Shu replied with simplicity as Ean nodded before looking forward as he then realized they were both headed straight to a mountain

"Hey Shu I think we should turn around, it's a dead-end"

Said Ean as Shu smiled jumping upwards, landing on a rock that was attached to the mountain

"I'll meet you at the top!"

Shu yelled before leaping half of the mountain in an instant causing a gigantic burst of wind leaving Ean behind

"But didn't you say we were going for a run!?"

Ean yelled while placing his hands beside his mouth amplifying his scream while Shu ignored him continuing to climb the mountain

"I guess he can't hear me while he's all the way up there"

Said Ean to himself before grabbing onto a small rock pulling his body upwards beginning to climb the mountain

"I suppose this is easier than picking up those Gigantic rocks"

Ean said to himself before placing his foot on a half-broken rock as he then held onto a tree branch attempting to pull himself upwards once more before the rock he was stepping on slipped out of the mountain causing Ean to fall on hard on his back

"Ow that hurt.."

Said Ean to himself before cleaning the dirt off of his clothes taking in a deep breath, attempting to climb the mountain once more but after just a minute of climbing he fell right back down meanwhile, Shu had already reached the top staring at the sun as he waited for Ean

"This is irritating!"

Ean yelled before kicking a rock proceeding to punch the mountain in irritation

"This is gonna take forever to climb, I can't even climb half of the mountain..."

Said Ean while leaning against the mountain trying to think of different ways to climb it

"Oh!, I have in an idea!"

Ran Exclaimed before clashing his right fist against his left palm running away from the mountain coming back a few minutes later with a hook and a rope

"Alright, here we go!"

Ean said to himself as he would then attach the hook to the rope proceeding to throw the hook as high up the mountain as he could before beginning to use the rope to climb the mountain, but halfway through the rope would snap causing Ean to roll down the mountain falling hard on his back once more

"Ah..that one really hurt"

Ean whispered with a low moan of pain before standing up, coming up with more absurd ideas to climb the mountain and after attempts after attempts, he had finally reached the top, but by the time he had reached the top it was almost sunset, he saw nothing but a bright light and Shu sitting in the middle of it

"Oh, you finally reached the top, well then, let's do It again!"

Shu yelled with a thumbs up before grabbing onto Ean's shirt jumping off of the mountain right afterward

"Wait...again? No, no please, anything but that"

Ean begged while placing his hands toward as if he was praying to Shu but Shu would simply ignore it, beginning to climb up the mountain once again
