This training is boring-(9 years later).

PDA: From now on I warn you that I'm not going to use Japanese honorifics (even if the names are from there) because I don't know how to use them well and I'm also bored writing that in each name.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Then I turn my head to see Ima looking down at her belly.

"Mn?, what are you looking at?"

My words snap her out of her stupor.

"Hey?" She then she looks at me and she gets nervous the moment she looks at me.

"I-I, nothing, I don't know what you're talking about" she says as she tries to look away from her trying to find another house to look at with her cheeks strangely flushed.

"Eh? Are you deaf? I said, why don't you tidy up your room?"

Then my words seem to light up her mind.

"A-Ah about that, I almost forgot, I'll clean up later" she says with an awkward smile.

"Okay" she replied with a strange look, I don't understand why she behaves like this.

"Why is your face red? Do you have a cold?"

"Hey?" She touches her face and it seems that her face turns even redder.

"Haber, let me look" I say trying to check her body temperature.

"Eh no-"

"Be still" she spoke dryly.

I say removing one of her hands that was covering her face.

"Your forehead is very hot, you have a fever"

"N-No, I'm fine" She says as she squirms around looking like she wants to get up.

"Don't move too much or I'm going to fall again" I say while she feels her hips very restless.

So I get up before he really moves hard and I fall backwards.

When I do she immediately runs off to the bathroom.

After a while she comes out of it with a wet face.

Her blush has cooled greatly.

"Ah, you took a long time, what were you doing" she spoke as she stopped moving my character.

While she was in the bathroom I took the opportunity to use the console.

Seeing my calm expression she calms down somewhat as well.

"I just wanted to wet my face for a moment"

"And your fever?"

"Oh that was just because I was too hot" she says with an awkward smile.

"Ah" she accepted her strange explanation since I have no way of knowing anyway.

"You come?"

"Y-Yes"

She holds the command I give her.

And then the two children begin to play quietly but with the difference that the girl seemed to be more distracted as she stole a few casual glances at the boy next to her.

...

After spending a while crushing her in the game I decide to go to my practice with the aunt.

'Again here'

After a while I don't feel so excited about coming here anymore.

"Today we will continue with the fist movement"

"Aunty, because we always do the same movements, is there nothing new you want to teach me?"

"Hiroki, I already told you that you must practice these movements so that your body remembers them instantly by instinct, it must be like your feet" she says with a serious look.

"I'll give you an example: when your feet get tired, are you able to walk with them?"

"Yes"

"That is the effect that you must achieve in your arms, even if you feel very tired you must still be able to throw a fist in front of you, so you must train your arms as much as you can as you train your feet to walk, jump and run; find the point of perpetual motion

"..." I get thoughtful at her words.

I can understand what she means by the first sentence but I didn't understand what she meant by 'find the point of perpetual motion'.

But in general I understood what you mean:

' 'Fight even when you're tired, exhausted and feel like you can't move your hands' '

Not knowing what else to say, I follow his rhythm and start training.

...

After training I went home to rest from the day's training.

Tomorrow I'll be like new.

...

Then I go back to sleep to continue doing my daily repetitive activities.

...

This is how time goes by as the years go by.

9 years later.

...

It's been so long since I trained with Auntie.

To this day, training with her is routine.

I spent so much time trying to break the damn trunk that for nothing in the world could I break.

As time went on I felt more and more anxious when I saw the log as I set goals for myself each time saying 'I'll break it next year', 'it will be next year' and so on.

Today I am looking at the new trunk that my aunt has brought.

Due to the fact that due to continuous blows the trunk can give way over time, my aunt changes them from time to time.

I am staring at the trunk lost in thought.

Day after day hitting a log.

I really feel very impatient about it I want to go complain to the aunt saying that it is impossible but I can't because she proved it herself.

My birthday is coming up and I still haven't gotten a crack in the damn log.

I really want to give up on this but this has long since gotten personal as this is practically the sense that all this time I have spent many hours every day training non-stop.

Giving in to this is like breaking my fighter's heart.

I absolutely cannot give up.

Then he looked to the side.

There they silently pose some weights.

When I see it, a plan that I had for a long time comes back to my mind but I never tried to apply it since it would not be very ethical and it could also be dangerous, but I am really tired of it.

He watched in silence for a minute and then I decide to get up and walk slowly towards the scale.

He then lifted two dumbbells at the same time and loaded it up to the trunk again.

Then I look back at the trunk again.

'Am I really going to do this?' I wondered this inwardly but then I think about all my training.

'No, I won't count this as passing the test but to satisfy my desire to break this log with my own flesh.' I close my eyes for a moment and then open them, staring determinedly ahead.

I completely sell my foot.

I grab the weights and start to wrap it tightly with a rope around my right leg.

My left leg is my dominant foot when it comes to stability so my right leg is optimal for hitting.

So with two weights (they are quite heavy) on my legs I decide to lift my leg as hard as I can,

I raise my leg thinking that this simple kick right now carries all my resolve and hope.

The moment seems to last for many minutes.

The handsome-looking young man with one foot raised in the air with two large dumbbells strapped to it looks forward with a look of resolve forward.

Then he clenches his fists tightly and quickly and ruthlessly drops his leg, a show of resolve and recklessness.

*impact*-*water*-*crack*

A collision was heard followed by a break, it is not known if it is the young man's leg or the broken trunk, but what is known is that something very hard has broken.

The weights that seem to have been shaken by the impact loosen the rope and fall from the young man's foot.

With a loud noise it makes a loud sound you can hear as the usually has cracked a bit.

The trunk that was ahead is now split in two.

*opens door forcefully*

"What happened" Azumi comes out having heard the noise.

She looks ahead and sees Hiroki from the back looking forward.

She peeks out a bit and gets a little thoughtful as she takes in the heavy straps around the young man's feet with one half of the trunk blown off at the other end.

"Hiroki, what happened?"

The boy seems to finally realize that there was someone behind him and turns his head to look at his aunt.

"Oh aunty, you've come at a good time, look, I've achieved it, I've achieved my goal, I've made a breakthrough in my goal" He says nonchalantly with a calm and peaceful smile as if what just happened had nothing to do with she.

"Advance?"

"Yes, now I just need to do it without strapping on the weights"

At the moment that the aunt hears my words, her eyes shrink slightly.

"What? Did you strap on those weights and kick your ankle?"

(Clarification: He did a vertical kick towards the trunk which is held horizontally by two supports)

"Yes" I reply with a happy look, it looks like I'm going to laugh at any moment.

She immediately frowns.

"Hiroki, show me your leg right now" she says in a deep voice.

"Oh..." For my part, I lifted the hem of this long training pants.

And then a scene of horror comes into view.

Blood appears to slowly drip from what appears to be the bandages.

You can see how this leg is trembling slightly.

Looking at this scene, it's like the pain that I had forgotten will come back with a vengeance and completely flood me.

The pain was such that I could only feel my foot throbbing along with a horrible headache.

"Oh shit…" That was the last thing I said before I felt the world go dark and I lost consciousness.

...

I don't know how much time passed but suddenly I open my eyes and the first thing I see is a white ceiling.

So I try to lift my tosso to see the surroundings but when I do that a pain coming from my leg stops me.

"Hugg-gg-gff" I try to hold back the urge to scream with a few tears at the corners of my eyes.

The pain lasts for a few long seconds that seem like seconds.

"uh-hgg-ahf-af-haf-*quick breath*-uhhh hah ah hah ah hah ah..."

So after a while I gather myself again and try to look at my foot without trying to move it because the mere fact of exerting force on it causes great pain.

He gently lifted the blanket that covers me and then I look at my foot that seems to be in a cast.

Then memories come to me about what I did before I lost consciousness.

"..."

"I was too hasty, wasn't I?" I can only sigh at what happened and then go back to settle in bed again trying at all times not to force my foot.

Right now I feel very delicate so I don't try to make sudden movements, even moving my head is done carefully.

After looking at the ceiling without knowing what to think about, I fall asleep.

zzz

...

After an unknown amount of time I open my eyes again and with my eyes slightly unfocused I can see someone's face.

I try to focus on who it is and then I recognize that the person in front of me is Aunt Azumi.

"I see you are very calm" she says suddenly.

So I try to raise my torso a bit without trying to move my foot.

"Don't get up, you're still in recovery" He says quietly.

"What happened?"

"Shouldn't you know better than anyone else?"

"I mean my parents" I say knowing that something like this must have worried them a lot.

"Well not much, I told them you hit your leg really hard in practice so I told them you'll get better soon"

He looked at the aunt in astonishment.

"Did they think you were so easy?"

"Well, we're not lying, you really didn't do much, just a micro fracture, you'll heal soon" He tells me calmly as he shows me an X-ray that shows a foot with a slight fracture in the middle of the lower part of the knee. tibia.

Inwardly I frown.

'A small fracture' I try to remember the size of the damage I did at that time but I don't remember very well so I accepted his explanation.

'I could have sworn that my foot had been fractured to the point of rendering my foot useless' But I guess it must be my delusion at the moment.

"*sigh* what a mess"

"If a real disaster, how did you come up with such a crazy thing?"

He thoughtfully looked up at the ceiling thinking how he should respond to that.

"Don't know..."

"You do not know?"

"Well, maybe I do know but I don't know how to express it" I say thinking better of my words.

Aunt looks at me with a fixed look apparently thinking about something.

"Then rest, tomorrow you can leave the hospital"

"Okay" Then she wastes no time getting up from her seat and getting ready to leave.

"...aunt..."

"Mn?" She turns to me.

"Thanks for that…" she says, but who she's thanking she can't tell.

"It's my duty" she says before walking out the door.

I watch as her silhouette disappears with the door.

...

Azumi walks down the white corridor thinking.

After leaving the hospital she gets into her car that was parked in the driveway.

Upon entering, she throws away the x-ray he had given earlier along with another x-ray.

If you look carefully at the second x-ray then you will realize that the photo there is also from a photo but unlike the first one it shows a leg that has a shattered fibula and a severely fractured tibia.

Azumi looks ahead as she drives lost in thought of her.

In the end she can only leave one sentence.

"The seal is weakening, soon her powers will give her the power that her body will not be able to resist... we must advance the blessing"
