Chapter 20: Sakolomé's mysterious encounter.

Sakolomé and Salomé had spent a day of training, it was now 3 p.m., time to go home is getting closer.

Sakolomé: Well, Salomé I think you've learned enough today, now I'm going to ask you to train often if you want to master all these skills wonderfully!

Salomé replies.

Salomé: But I already master all these skills big brother, the only thing I have to do is improve them in my own way!!

Sakolomé was surprised by this answer, so he asks to be sure.

Sakolomé: Do you think you master everything you learned today only?!

Salomé nods.

Sakolomé (smiling): Very well, you're going to have to prove it to me, we're going to have a fight, I'm going to use only one hand, my left hand, if you can make me use another limb, you win!

Salomé (excited): Hooray, ok big brother, be ready!!!

Salomé gets on guard and watches Sakolomé with a slight smile on her face.

Sakolomé also gets on guard, he puts his right hand on her back and jogs Salomé like a martial arts expert.

Salomé: Let's go!!!

Salomé attacks.

She directly charges her right punch with energy.

Salomé: Killer, Burst!!!hYaaaaahhhhhh

She attacks Sakolomé with countless punches and kicks, each as powerful as the next.

Sakolomé is surprised, Salomé moves very quickly.

Sakolomé manages to deflect all of Salomé's attacks with one hand.

Sakolomé: Not bad!!

Salomé: It's just the beginning, big brother!!

Mana escapes from Salomé.

Sakolomé jumps back.

Sakolomé: What does she want to do!!!

Salomé: Look at this technique that I just invented, Sakolomé!!

Salomé's mana swirls around her.

She gets into a bent position and the mana covers itself on her right fist.

Salomé: Killer punch Flames!!!!

She releases a punch that releases intense heat, this attack is a ranged attack, Salomé projects a flame power mixed with shock waves produced by the power of her punch.

The power of the technique reaches Sakolomé.

Sakolomé: It's incredible!!!

He dodges the attack that narrowly misses him and ravages all the trees behind Sakolomé.

Sakolomé is impressed and continues to stare at the damage.

Salomé appears in front of Sakolomé.

Salomé: Hey big brother, stay focused!!!

Sakolomé looks at Salomé, he is surprised to see her in front of him.

Sakolomé: Shit!!!!

An exchange of blows follows between Sakolomé and Salomé.

Sakolomé does quite well with one arm against his younger sister.

But Salomé's melee ability was still remarkable, even though it was her very first fight, but it seemed like she did that every day.

Salomé jumps.

Salomé: Killer man's strike, Killer Quick!!!!

She strikes towards Sakolomé who is on the ground.

Sakolomé stops this blow with his left hand and feels a slight pain on his hand.

The power produced by this blow cracks the ground and creates huge breaks all around them.

Sakolomé tries to grab Salomé.

He grabs her with his hand.

Sakolomé: I finally have you!!!

Then as no one expected, Salomé explodes, a huge explosion that propels Sakolomé.

Sakolomé: What the hell is this?!!!

Sakolomé falls violently on a hill and gets up immediately.

He looks around at the immense smoke produced by Salomé's explosion.

Sakolomé: I don't understand anything anymore!

He then looks at the hand he grabbed Salomé with, his left hand which is covered in small burns.

The smoke dissipates and Salomé had concentrated a new attack.

Sakolomé is surprised.

Sakolomé: Very surprising!!

Salome: big brother, I present to you my ultimate attack for the moment, the killer man death!!!!

Salome was overloading her hand with mana and energy at the same time.

Sakolome: be careful, you risk ....

Sakolome stops talking and sees Salome collapse on the ground.

She can no longer move.

Salome: What ... what ... is happening to me?!

Salome said while trembling on the ground.

Sakolome jumps and joins her.

Sakolome: You did not take into account my explanations, during your succession of attacks you not only used too much energy and mana and also you wanted to combine the two to make your ultimate attack, your body is exhausted it must recover all this energy that you wasted.

Salomé (smiling): Oh okay I see... but it was so funny, hahahaha, I had so much fun, didn't you big brother?!

Sakolomé nods and lifts Salomé.

He then puts her on his back.

Salomé: Big brother, what are you doing?!

Sakolomé: Let's go back, we'll come another time, for you to fully recover you'll need at least 2 weeks!

Salomé (surprised): What? Two weeks? That's way too much!!!

Sakolomé: You should have thought before consuming so much aura!!!

Salomé (sulking): It's not fair!!!

Sakolomé and Salomé walk, after all that training, they had to rest a little.

Sakolomé: hey Salomé?!

Salome answers, while being sleepy.

Salome: Yes big brother?!

Sakolome: What was the technique you used earlier, I'm talking about when you exploded when I caught you?!

Salome: haha, did you like it?!

Sakolome: oh yes a lot, she surprised me, how did you do it?

Salome: I used a lot of mana to create a double when I used the killer man punch with flames, then while you weren't following because you were just wondering I sent it to attack you, it was hard to manipulate it but I managed it, then when you caught it, I ordered the mana in this fake body to explode, then there was the big booooommm, did I not hurt you too much tell me? If that's the case I'm sorry big brother.

Sakolomé: Don't worry, on the contrary it made me happy to see you so powerful, but in the future don't use so much energy and mana at the same time, if you want to use so much you need to have infinite amounts and so you can use it without ever getting exhausted, in any case for your first fight it was a ....

A noise intrigues Sakolomé.

Sakolomé: What is it?!

He glances at Salomé on his back and listens to a little snoring.

Sakolomé smiles.

Sakolomé: Rest well little one, you need it and above all, you deserve it!!

Sakolomé continues walking and is not very far from home.

He crosses Bakuran on his way.

Bakuran: Hey Sakolomé, what happened to Salomé?!

Sakolomé: She trained with me, and she's exhausted, look!

Sakolomé takes Salomé from his hands and holds her out to Bakuran.

Bakuran grabs Salomé in his hands and asks, looking intrigued.

Bakuran: Um... why are you giving her to me?

Sakolomé: I haven't finished training, go home with her and ask mother to give her a potion that will give Salomé some energy.

Bakuran: Um... OK, fine!

Bakuran puts Salomé on his back and leaves.

Sakolomé starts to float and flies away.

He was pensive, as if something was making him worried.

He arrives very quickly at his training place and gets shirtless.

Sakolomé: I still have a lot of progress to make!

He bends slightly.

Sakolomé: The fact that I am not able to use mana slows me down enormously, but I will not complain, even with pure energy I will be able to beat Bakuzan...

Sakolomé closes his eyes and red energy escapes from his body like a vapor.

Sakolomé (thoughtful): Energy can sharpen physical skills, with that, I can increase the skills of all my sensory senses, people who use mana can use or have extrasensory perceptions very easily...

Sakolomé smiles.

And repeats in his thoughts.

(Who said that people with purely physical skills were not able to use extrasensory perceptions?)

Sakolomé emits even more energy.

(With good concentration and a will going beyond my physical body I can use an energy that transcends the limits of the body and thus perform miracles, they do not wonder how someone devoid of mana like me manages to fly?)

(With my extrasensory senses I am able to see for miles, to have a much greater intuition, fast and precise, not to mention a high clairvoyance bonus...)

Sakolomé comes out of his concentration.

Sakolomé: Hum....

He would have heard something.

Sakolomé: There is someone watching me!

Sakolomé stands up and walks towards a tree in front of him.

Sakolomé reaches out and touches the tree.

Sakolomé: You who are behind this tree I saw you, come out now and don't make me repeat myself!!

The foliage behind it stirs.

Sakolomé remains suspicious.

And to his surprise, it is a young girl like him who comes out.

She has long white hair, blue eyes and is not very hygienic in her clothing. This suggests that she was an abandoned girl.

Sakolomé: Huh? But who are you?!

The girl did not answer, it seems that she is afraid of Sakolomé.

Sakolomé looks at her from head to toe.

Sakolomé: Um... hello, can you answer me please? You're not a mutant I hope?!

The girl was still silent, mute.

She had old dirty and slightly torn clothes with a dirty teddy bear on her hand.

Sakolomé: Um... you don't know how to talk?!

The girl still remained silent. She was shy and looked away so as not to meet Sakolomé's.

Sakolomé sighed and said.

Sakolomé: You don't seem like a threat, I'm sorry to have disturbed you, you can continue what you were doing!

Sakolomé turned around to resume his training.

_W...Wait!!!

Said the girl who surprised Sakolomé.

Sakolomé turned around and looked at her.

Sakolomé: Finally you know how to talk, so who are you?!

The girl shyly approached Sakolomé.

_ I don't have a name and who are you?

Sakolomé: I am Sakolomé Satsujin Otoko, yes I am a killer man!!

The girl answers in an intrigued manner.

_ A killer man? What is it?!

Sakolomé is even more surprised.

Sakolomé: It doesn't matter, where are you from?!

_ I don't know, I've been walking for ages!

Sakolomé (intrigued): What?! Where are your parents?!

_ I don't have any, my only family is him!!

She holds out her dirty teddy bear.

Sakolomé looks at the sky and then looks at the girl

Sakolomé: it's already getting late, I'm going to have to go home.

_ Okay Sakolomé, goodbye!

Sakolomé: I have a question, if I understand correctly you are an abandoned girl?!

The girl nods.

Sakolomé: You just have to come to my place, my mother will welcome you properly!!

_ No thanks, I'm going!

Sakolomé hurries to stop her.

Sakolomé: Wait, I have an idea, can you stay here?! Tomorrow I'll bring you some surprises!

_ Are you really going to come back here tomorrow?!

Sakolomé: Yes, if you promise to wait for me here tomorrow too!!

The girl nods.

_ It's okay, you seem nice to me, Sakolomé killer man!

Sakolomé smiles shyly.

Sakolomé: So see you tomorrow my friend!

_ See you tomorrow Sakolomé!

Sakolomé goes to take his tracksuit and leaves.
