Chapter Four: An Adventure Begins
Two weeks goes by & the two finally improved to move on to the next level of their cardio & endurance; meanwhile in the training room.
"Congratulations you have completed the bronze tier now it's time to move up to the silver tier."
Amelia had both of them do suicides for 8 hours with a 30-minute break every hour & a half. This goes on for about a month until they were ready for the next phase. Every time they improve the break time goes down every 15 minutes & the duration increases every half hour.
Mirai & Danny has finally completed Amelia's cardio & endurance training after a long two months.
"Congratulations you two now we can move on to strength, speed, agility, & power control training."
"Power control?"
"In other words, correct me if I'm wrong... but it's training teaching us how to control our powers & abilities & I believe how much power we use/put out."
"That is correct Amelia!"
"Thanks, lady Mirai."
"Okay for today just hit the showers & enjoy your rest of the day. We'll resume training in two days' time."
"Why two days' time Amelia?"
"I'll like both of your bodies to recover plus both of you deserve it."
After the two of them finish washing up Mirai calls for Danny to meet her in her room.
"Danny boy let's go into town I want to go to Zoa candy shop it's been a while since we've been."
"As you wish lady Mirai."
Just as the duo was about to head out, they run into Amelia outside in the mountain range. Mirai thinks to herself she must be training. She's about to use one of her fire abilities I believe it's called
But in all reality, it's actually quite powerful. As Amelia fires off the shot, it easily destroyed three mountains leaving a huge crater in the aftermath.
"That was awesome Amelia!!"
"Oh, why thank you, young master! & I see the both of you are heading into town."
"Yep, I wanted to go to Zoa's candy shop. Well, we'll see you later."
Amelia is quite powerful also if I remember correctly that's barely 10% of her power & one of her weaker abilities at that. That explosion was amazing she really blow up three mountains which are individually 3x bigger than the K2 Mountain in Asia back in my world.
The duo finally made it to their destination & they see Zoa just opening up shop.
"Hey! Zoa! It's been a while how have you been?" < Mirai>
"Oh, my it's Mirai! It's my favorite customer. How is your training going?"
"We completed the cardio & endurance also ready now we on to phase two of our training."
"How many phases are there? Also, I'm glad that both of you are back."
"Thanks, glad to be back I missed your candies & baked goods! Oh & there are two phases to go."
"Well as a congratulation grift you & Danny can get anything on the house!"
"Are you sure? I mean we couldn't do that to you."
"Yesss! Of course, besides like I said earlier both of you are my favorite customers."
"Well okay if you insist, I'll take some strawberry cupcakes please."
"I'll take the usual four chocolate steam buns please."
"You got it four strawberry cupcakes & chocolate steam buns coming right up!"
"So, how's business been for ya?"
"It's been good, especially after the awesome review you & family gave profits has gone up 70% also, I was wondering where is your guard is, Amelia?"
"Oh, she's out in the mountain range training besides I got Danny boy over here so I'll be okay."
"Oh, so that'll explain the exploding I heard earlier," she says while laughing.
"Yea she's scary powerful."
"Well, here you both go I hope to see you both soon take care."
Both Mirai & Danny at the same time say "We will see you soon." The duo heads back home to relax for the day. Two days later Amelia had them meet her in the training room after breakfast so they can resume their training.
"Okay, so today have both of you do 20 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, and 20 squats as a warm-up. Once that is completed, you'll both come outside & try to push a 10-ton boulder in 25 meters in 30 minutes."
"Wait!! Are you SERIOUS!! 10 tons 25 meters in half an hour??"
"Since when have you known me to joke about training young master."
"Lady Mirai don't worry we got this!"
"You'll both be doing this every day until you can complete it with ease & within 30 seconds got it? You may begin."
Oh well, no need to complain I mean after all I did improve my cardio & endurance with her. This will only just make me stronger besides 20 push-us is nothing I'll knock these out in a jiff. Alright now that I'm done with these easy-ass exercises let's head outside.
Oh wow! This boulder is huge it must be 1 ½ meter in length. I see Danny boy has yet to move he's & he's using all of his strength. As I try to move this huge boulder it wouldn't move a centimeter. I've been at this for almost an hour & I still haven't gotten anywhere neither has Danny.
"Okay, that's enough for today. I have a motivation for you every time you both fail to even slightly move the boulder, you'll both do 20 push-us, sit-ups & squats."
Two days have passed me & Danny has yet to even move it in the slightest but I think today might be our day. As I step up to the boulder, I give myself a little prep talk like... you got this, you can do it, I know you can.
Next thing you know I was able to move it about 3 meters. I look over at Danny to see how he's fairing & he was only able to it about a meter maybe a meter & ½. This continued for about five more days until me & Danny were able to reach our goal.
"Congrats you completed phase 1 now on to phase 2 which is both of you do 40 push-ups, 40 sit-ups, and 40 squats as a warm-up. Once that is completed, you'll both go back outside & try to push a 20-ton boulder in 50 meters in 15 minutes."
I really believe Amelia is trying to train us to death & this is only the strength training I'm curious about what she got planned for the speed & agility category. I knock-out my warm-ups with ease but as soon as I tried to push the boulder it felt like an immovable object. Day after day I had little to no improvements & the same for Danny boy.
My body has never been this tired in my entire life. 11 days have gone by & me & Danny boy and finally completed phase 2. Amelia gave us a week of vacation until phase 3 the final phase of the strength training. But I think she really lost her mind on this next one she wants us to do.
She told us that the final phase will consist of 70 push-us, sit-ups & squats & they each have to be individually in 2 minutes. That's not the crazy part though next, we have to carry a 50-ton boulder 100 meters in 15 minutes or less. When I tried to pick it up it wouldn't even lift no higher than 7 inches off the ground.
It took me a month to complete it & a month & half for Danny boy. Our next training was power control/regulation, speed & agility. Amelia told us in order for us to use our powers to the fullest we must learn how to control them & how much we use them.
She first had us create an energy ball & hold it at 10% while dodging her attacks for a full hour. Danny boy energy ball is red while mine is black. She wasn't attacking at super-fast speeds or anything but it was hard to focus on dodging while maintaining a certain level of power. Every time it gets stronger or weaker, she adds an additional 15 minutes.
The training lasted for 8 hours until she said we were done for today. Me & Danny boy went & hit the showers, got something to & went straight to sleep that's how tired we were. The following day we were back at it again for another 8 hours but lucky for us it only took us 3 days to get it right. Next, she had us move up to 30% but since we had a good feel for it only took us a day.
It's really simple once you get the hang of it. All you gotta do is just clear your mind & feel the flow & not overthink it. The next day she had us working on our agility & reaction speed.
"Okay today it's time to work on speed, reflexes & agility & an added bonus how fast & well can you think on your feet."
"What do you have for us to do?"
"Come follow me."
Me & Danny look at each other & shrugged our shoulders. She took us to the back of our home & she started creating this big ass arena it had to be at least the size of three football fields!! She had us stand at one end while facing these long pillars which only one person can stand on. There were a lot of everywhere but with at least 7 meters of space in between them & at the bottom is lava.
"I'll explain how this will work. This game is called the floor is lava Mirai I'm sure you played or at least of this game before. Here's how this game is going to work both of you will start at this end & needs to make it to the other end before time runs out which will be 1 hour. Oh & one more thing, not all pillars are stable some are very unstable."
"Anything else you can tell us?"
"No young master because beats the purpose of both of you thinking on your feet. The time begins in 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 begin!!"
Okay, it's now, or never go big or go home. As soon as I stepped on the first pillar it immediately it started sinking & crumbling it all happened instantly good thing, I was able to react in a split second. Now I see what she means by unstable; as I run through this challenge, I get about a quarter way there & Amelia had some more tricks up her sleeves. She started shooting fireballs at us to make it more difficult & trust me it was those fire blast was moving faster than the wind blows.
Danny was knocked out as soon as we got a quarter of a way here. I thought the lava was for show but it wasn't he died as soon as he fell but lucky Amelia was able to revive him; I didn't know she had that kind of ability. Now I'm left alone& I have about 45 minutes left I believe I'm making good time.
Soon as I get halfway there something new happens. All the pillars started either sinking or crumbling so faster & slower than others so I have to make haste if I don't want to die. As I get closer to the end, I'm about 50 meters away but all of that came to an end. One of Amelia's fireballs grazed me & cause me to stumble & lose my balance & I fall into the lava.
As I fall no words come out of my mouth because I'm still in shock at what had happened. I let myself get too caught up in the moment I ended up getting complacent. As I sink deeper into the lava a flash of light comes out of nowhere & I'm floating in the air. I come to realize that I've come back alive but as I look over at Amelia, I can tell it wasn't her because she's just as shocked as I am.
But in an instant, a flashback/ memory comes back to me. I somewhat remember now that boy he chose our ability it was called undying, I believe I can see he face clear as day I remember he's my best friend Theo. Now that I think about it, he was very cute he stood at 6 feet even, with a built body type, hazel eyes, and a man bun with braids. I always thought that style was for white people, not black people but he pulled it off though.
He was very charming & had a way with words. He had a nonchalant personality.
"Young master what was that!?"
"It's an ability that my best friend chose when we were in front of the Goddess. & Gods it's called undying. I need to learn how this works fully."
"Oh wow! That's an amazing & overpowered ability. Lady Mirai"
"Indeed, it is Young Master. But since you didn't complete it, you'll both will have to do this tomorrow & so on until you can beat it with no problems."
Me & Danny were able to finally complete this phase it took us two months to complete it because it was always something different every time. After that Amelia put us through multiple training regiments all ranging from strength, speed, control, learning new abilities, and increasing our raw power & our supernatural powers.
Me & Danny boy have grown a hell of a lot stronger than we were a year ago. I'm now 6 years old & is capable of wiping out a whole town with about 80% of my powers. I found this out when Amelia created a town for us to train in & test out our power.
FLASHBACK
--------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, so today I will test out both of your destructive power."
"How will we do that?"
"Easy we try to blow up this whole town," Mirai says while laughing.
"Well, yea Young Master is pretty much correct. This will test how much power you need to do so."
"You think we are capable of doing that?"
"Well of course you should be able to you haven't been training this past year for no reason."
I told Danny to go first & show us what he got. He flies up in the sky I can see he's able to use 30% as he drops a destructive energy ball onto the town but it doesn't fully destroy it. He continues until he gets about 90% of his full power which was enough to destroy it. Next was me & it only took 80% of my full capacity to do it.
"Well, now you know well you both stand."
Present Day
--------------------------------------------------------
Today Amelia told us to meet her in the study because she wanted to tell us something. As me & Danny boy gets there my mom, dad & Amelia was there.
"Mom, dad what's going on here?"
"Well sweetie me & your dad just came to see you off on your journey & new adventure that's about to come."
"Wait! What? What are you talking about mom?"
"What she's talking about is you, Danny, & Amelia is going on a journey & to get our combat experience and also to explore the world."
"Also, both of you still have ways to go. Take your time you really have all the time in the world. It's not like you can die from old age or stay permanently dead, especially with that ability of yours."
"I mean you are right also I have no problems exploring this world especially now that I remember who Theo is I may go looking for him after I finish training & getting stronger because I can't declare myself the strongest until I beat him."
"Well, that's that sweetie enjoy & have fun I expect to see you getting stronger & surpass Amelia & to train under me next & then your father."
Anubis & Lilith both kiss their daughter on the forehead & send her off on her next chapter in life.
