Chapter 24: Training For The Sports Festival, Part 5

-3rd POV-

After the events of the early morning, the family had their breakfast and when to do what they intended. The Pussycats went to patrol and do hero work, Chikyu and Kota went to their training spot to, well, train.

As they got to the location, they got to it. Well, Kota did, Chikyu thought of new moves to invent. He didn't spend long doing that before coming up with something. It actually had to do with a move he already knew. Drain. The move that he used during the Quirk Apprehension Test to boost his capabilities.

He had already accomplished being able to boost himself by using it, but he was curious if he could use it to boost others as well. And since he had someone with him, he could test if it worked and wouldn't have to put it off like his puppeteering ability.

He wouldn't have to train to do something that he couldn't before. He would just have to find if he could either transfer the energy or direct the energy to someone else directly instead of having to use himself as a conduit.

-Chikyu POV-

"Hey, Kota, stop for a bit.", I called out.

Doing as I told him to, he came over to me.

"Is something wrong? Am I doing something wrong?", he asked.

"No, you're actually doing great. I just want to tell you that there's something I want to try, and I'll need you for it. It's not an attack or anything, it's actually the opposite. I wanna make a move that can boost people, but I need someone to try it on. If you don't wanna do it, that's alright.", I explained.

"Ooh, yeah, yeah! I'll do it! What do I have to do?!", Kota almost immediately yelled in excitement.

I guess he really likes the idea of being able to help me with something, especially a move.

"Haha, calm down a little bit. You don't need to do anything special, just stay still for a few seconds", I answered.

He did as I said, staying still.

Alright, let's try this. First, I'll try the "conduit" path: Absorbing the extra energy into myself like I normally do, and then trying to give some of that energy to someone else.

Absorbing energy into myself like I usually do until my hair started floating and the green aura appeared around me with the brown energy making its normal patterns of my body as well.

( If you're curious what the brown energy patterns look like, they look like Sukuna's tattoos when he takes over Itadori's body. But dark brown instead of black)

(Here is an image of that for people who don't watch Jujutsu Kaisen. It's fan art, but there's like no official art that gives the full body in one image, and this particular fan art is super close to the original art style anyways.)

(Also, watch Jujutsu Kaisen if you haven't. Seriously, you're missing out if you don't.)

The normal process done, feeling my power having increased, I tried it. I put my hand on Kota's head and tried to send the extra energy into him.

It worked. Not long after I did it, his hair started floating slightly, and he also gained an aura and patterns, but they were different from mine.

My aura was light green, his aura was cyan blue. Instead of my brown patterns, his patterns were blue Japanese art-styled water waves wrapping around his arms and legs.

(The water pattern)

"Hmm, interesting. Try doing those same exercises I had you doing before I called you over.", I instructed him.

He did as I told him to do, and when he did, he did it all much, much easier than before. Better, faster and easier. I told him to try and run and fast as he could, and he ended up going at least 20 times faster than normal.

Satisfied with this, I told him to come back, and I drained the energy back into myself and got my aura and patterns back, also proving that I can take back the energy as long as I am touching the person who I gave it to.

Next, I tried to direct the energy directly to Kota instead of myself, and it worked, but I noticed the aura was faint and the patterns were barely there. Telling him to do the exercises like last time with the effect, I noticed that while it did boost him, it only did so slightly. Through some observations and rationalizing, I guessed that instead of the likely 20 times increase from direct contact, this method just barely gave a 2 times increase. Still helpful, just much less so. But an upside was that I could boost multiple allies even if they are out of my reach.

This could help a lot if me and some allies are ambushed and I can't reach them to boost them while I deal with my side of enemies.

Satisfied with the experiment, I took the energy away and sent it back into the ground.

"Thanks for the help. Thanks to you, I've got a pretty great move in my arsenal now!", I told him. He really had been quite a help in this, and plus I know he'd be ecstatic to know that he helped me with something.

For the remainder of the training session, I worked on my exercises to further increase my physical prowess, as well as a custom martial art I've been thinking of for a while.

-3rd POV, hours later-

And so, the fourth day of training has ended. 2 more days remain.

(Okay, for the custom martial art, I'm very likely going to be taking inspiration *cough* copying *cough* God Of Highschool's martial arts.)
