Fight

Kenji threw a swift punch at the old man. Despite being twice his height, he missed completely. The old man was gone. Kenji looked around the room slowly. Suddenly, he felt a foot on his back, and he was on the ground. He couldn't get up. He didn't want to. He wanted to stay down, and accept the fact that he was have the same fate as the people outside. Kenji started to push himself up from the ground. "Still alive, are you?" The old man said. "I've never seen someone so durable. That attack usually does the job!" Kenji was furious. He ran towards the old man, cursing under his breath. He threw a few more punches, but they all missed. He started to pull his sword out of its sheath. "I can dodge the swiftest of sword slashes, kid." The old man said confidently. "You're just going to miss until the end of time!" Kenji swung ferociously, but all of his attacks missed. The old man finally stopped dodging and landed on the sword. He was very light. "I see some potential in you, boy. Tell you what, boy, if you let me join you, I'll make sure you can survive anything in this apocalyptic world. This world is ending, to put it simply. I'm starting to think there could be a second war in our country." Kenji looked at the old man with a shocked face. "The names Toshi. You clearly need training, so let me help. I can even let you have a preview lesson! Keep a cool and steady head in battle and don't let rage best you." Toshi jumped off the sword. "Now, let's go outside. Believe it or not, supernatural things exist in this world. Monsters, demons, gods, it all exists. The truth is, most of the participants of this war and using them as ammunition to provide for a better outcome." Toshi said. Someone suddenly knocked on the door abruptly, cutting him off. "Here, your first training match." Toshi said.

"That is the demon who was come to collect the debts for my house. I know very well that I could defeat him, but I want to make sure I can't be tracked, so using you should be safer." Kenji looked stunned. "Different magic comes with your sword depending on your mood. If you keep a cool and steady feel, you will produce water. If you are angry and destructive, you will produce fire. If you are courageous and brave, lightning will come out. If you are quick thinking and cunning, you will produce ice. There are many more elements and sub elements to explore, but these are the basics. Not all blades are like this, you know, this blade was made specially for battle. I'd say whoever gave you this was a great warrior. Anyways, cases have been reported of a mixture of two elements, but I'm not sure if it's true. Either way, I can tell that you might be feeling nervous. For now, I want you to try and use water. It's the most basic. The most difficult element to use should be lightning." Kenji started to breath harder. "Focus the breathing!" Toshi kept shouting. Kenji focused. The demon kicked the door open, and Toshi ran to hide. The mere presence of the demon made Kenji's skin crawl. He held his sword bravely, and with a deep and heavy breath, charged at the demon with the power of water by his side.
