Sora had visited Ryozanpaku once more, training his blacksmithing technique. Not only focused on raising his strength, but also his understanding about martial arts.
Slowly, but surely, Sora slowly started to understand the essence of all martial arts as he practiced Nirvanic Taichi and it's Art. The more he hammered, the more he understood.
With his understanding rising in martial arts, Sora had failed to notice that his proficiency with martial arts rose higher.
Shigure was off to the side training her techniques whilst Miu occasionally went and came to view Sora working.
Ring…
At 5 P.M., Sora received a call.
His ear twitched and his movements became faster as he finished up another weapon in just a few seconds.
Beep!
"Kamiyama Sora speaking."
[It's time.]
Beep!
Sora smiled wryly as Kayaba just spoke two words and hung up. Not even bothering to say hello or anything.
"I have to go, I will see you on saturday! Bye," Sora told Shigure goodbye as he exited the detached building quickly.
He ran past Miu and told her goodbye as well before jumping away from roof to roof.
Bored along the way back to Kayaba's house, Sora thought about the surname fate and destiny had picked out for him.
Kamiyama.
God's Mountain…
His first name meant Sky and his last name meant God's Mountain.
Sora portrayed both names in numerous different ways.
One of a powerful and sturdy mountain made by a God having the aspirations to become the sky and be above all. To free himself from the constraints of any being, including gods.
Another version is becoming as elusive and powerful as Heaven and Earth. Him just being a pile of divine dirt (God's Mountain) wishing to become one with the sky, encompassing all in the sky and on the ground. Like how Heaven and Earth operates.
Both Heaven and Earth being one, yet also separate. Like Yin and Yang.
Thinking about it, Sora felt like it fit him well.
Sha!
Appearing before Kayaba who was just standing in front of his car, Sora nodded to him before entering the car.
"Hm… now I feel like learning martial arts," said Kayaba with a small smile before entering his car.
"Do you know who I will be fighting?" asked Sora from the backseat as he changed his clothes.
"Seishu Akoya," said Kayaba as he slowly drove to the fighting place.
"Who is he?" asked Sora.
"A dangerous man known as The Executioner. As far as everyone knows, he's a police inspector and he's very brutal to anyone he fights against," Kayaba slightly shivered as he remembered the stories counted by people about Akoya.
Sora nodded as he listened to Kayaba's description of Akoya.
'Looks like this guy might be a bit annoying to deal with,' thought Sora as he scratched his cheek. 'I should find a way to vent my frustrations soon.'
Thinking about Rinko wearing a sexy one piece gown, Sora couldn't help but want to ravage that woman this instant. She's a cool beauty whom you just can't help yourself from appreciating her beauty.
"Anything else I should know about this man?" asked Sora.
"There isn't much to know about him other than that," said Kayaba.
"How about his boss?"
"Her name's Hiyama Shunka. She's the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance and a very strange woman. You might need to be careful around her," said Kayaba, who was very cautious around people who are strange in this type of stuff.
He wouldn't even accept a handshake from one of them.
Sora's eyes brightened at the fact that the boss is a woman. He smiled and turned to Kayaba, "What are these things called by the way? Wouldn't they have a name or something like that?"
"They do in fact. These matches are called Kengan Matches and they are run by the Kengan Association," said Kayaba.
Kayaba explained to Sora some more minor details pertaining to Kengan Association and the matches before they arrived at an old and dilapidated building.
Inside the building, many people were in the surroundings, watching Sora's every move as he entered the building with Kayaba. Everyone was shocked as they took a look at Sora, who looked really young. Some couldn't help but smirk as they realized that Argus sent a kid to his death.
"Sora Kamiyama, the affiliated fighter for Argus."
Began the announcer as he watched Sora approach the area where he will be fighting against Akoya.
"Sora's opponent for today is..."
In front of Sora stood a bulky muscular man with an angular head, sharp facial features and cheekbones, focused eyes, thin black eyebrows and black hair that is gelled backwards into backwards facing spikes. He wears a white Karate gi adorned with a black belt with black shorts, with a black tank-top underneath.
He fiercely glared at Sora, not caring that Sora looked like a 15 year old.
Sora didn't pay attention to him whatsoever, he looked over Akoya's shoulder and at a beautiful woman standing up and far from them.
Hiyama is a petite young woman with large dark eyes, black hair set in a neat bob hairstyle with neatly cut bangs that fall just over her eyes, small full lips with dark lipstick applied to them and a moderately sized bosom.
"On the other side is the affiliated fight of Wakasa Life Insurance, Seishu Akoya!"
Sora and Akoya stepped slowly over to each other. One ready to rip another into pieces with his bare arms and the other simply walking as if he was simply strolling at a park.
"Ready, set."
Once the word 'set' reached Sora's ears, his whole calm demeanor changed as his battle intent leaked from his body. His face contorted into a bloodthirsty one as a wide smile spread across his face.
"Fight!"
Standing still, Sora looked at Akoya with a malevolent look, his eyes calculating every single possible move he can make in every ten seconds.
'Defensive?' thought Sora as he looked at Akoya looking back at him with a killing look.
'Listening? To who?'
Sora's eyes squinted as his smile only grew larger. He scanned the surroundings in an instant before realizing who it was.
'Interesting, let us see how entertaining they could be,' thought Sora as he dashed forward.
Azure Dragon Lunge!
Jumping at Akoya, Sora sent a simple kick over at Akoya's way.
Akoya squinted at Sora's attack and punched Sora's foot, thinking that Sora really was a novice just as his age might have shown. He thrust his fist forward with a powerful momentum, wishing to break Sora's leg.
Sora smirked and quickly slithered onto Akoya's arm and quickly made a move to attack Akoya's face.
Before Sora could reach Akoya's face, he had reacted and tried slamming Sora onto the floor.
Slithering around Akoya's arm, Sora avoided the slam onto the ground and jumped off Akoya with a smirk.
He took a quick step back and looked at Akoya with a smirk.
Akoya frowned and listened to Hiyama who was giving him instructions on how to take care of Sora without badly hurting him and quite possibly killing him.
He rushed forward and shot a punch at Sora's shoulder which was completely defenseless at the moment. Akoya's fist zipped through the air, quickly making it's way onto Sora's shoulder.
Crack!
"..." Akoya winced as his hand was dislocated from a simple shrug of Sora's. His eyes turned bloodshot as he decided to ignore Hiyama. He felt like Sora was toying with him as he looked at that merciless and taunting smile of Sora's hanging widely on his face.
Sora's smiling eyes carrying a hint of death in them as he stared at Akoya.
Sora remained still as Akoya lunged at him, more different than before as every move of his carried a very lethal force. A single mishap on Sora's side could leave him disabled, yet Sora kept that taunting smirk on his face even in the face of Akoya's lethal attacks.
Calmly taking some steps back as Akoya dashed at him, Sora dodged some attacks and dislocated Akoya's hands over and over with simple shrugs. Akoya just kept attacking, putting his hands back in place.
Seeing how Akoya won't be giving up any time soon. Sora took the lead and gently made his way over to Akoya with a simple step.
Akoya didn't have a single chance to react before Sora's finger lightly tapped his chest.
Thud.
Falling to the floor, Akoya fell unconscious from a simple tap from Sora's side. He sent over a look to Hiyama who had a panicked look on her face. She looked at Sora with a bit of fear before blushing as Sora had blown her a kiss.
'This kid!' Hiyama blushed and felt her fear turn into a bit more of anger as she looked at Sora.
Chuckling, Sora walked back over to Kayaba and left the place.
"That was very amazing!" said Kayaba as he looked over to Sora. "What was that martial art you used?"
"Which one? The dislocating or the last strike?" asked Sora with a small smile.
"Both!"
"The dislocation… Elusive Bones," said Sora. He didn't like using this martial art since it would alway end the fight so quickly, so he didn't often use it unless he came across strong opponents. "The other one wasn't a technique nor a move, it's just a simple move with the use of Taichi's gentle force."
"Taichi did that?" asked rather surprised Kayaba.
"Indeed," said Sora as he looked off to the side with a rather happy look.
Today, he had seen the powerful effect of understanding martial arts. Although it wasn't much different compared to before he understood part of the essence of martial arts, it was still amazing.
He didn't know how to explain it, it was like he never trained in martial arts. It was more like he was born with them. Like how one doesn't need to learn how to breathe, the brain automatically did that, until one became conscious of it. (A/N: Like now!)
It made the act more natural and it sort of increased the effectiveness of every single thing. It gave it a mystifying effect that normally one wouldn't be able to accomplish.
An example was something like achieving superhuman feats. Such as a single finger being able to pierce a diamond as easy as pushing it into butter.
It also made crushing mountains with one's fists possible without the need for enormous amounts of strength.
Every martial art, if the essence could be understood, wouldn't need a powerful body to execute moves that could split the skies or shake the world. Except for some of the more power reliant martial arts like boxing.
Those usually require the strong body, or even just a trained one.
Sora sighed and just enjoyed the ride home as he dove deep into his mind. He meditated and continued trying to understand the essence behind Nirvanic Taichi. If he could understand it's essence, Sora would have understood the essence of every single martial art and technique. Whether they be armed or unarmed.
Movement techniques, immortal arts, martial techniques, and even other techniques like cooking, smithing, refining, etc. would all be understood.
It would be an impossible feat for anyone to want to accomplish, yet Sora could make it possible with his unlimited potential and talent. As long as he tried to understand the essence, he would have it accomplished in just days if not months.
He had already made tremendous progress in just a day.
Sora kept thinking about his amazing progress after arriving at Kayaba's home and eating some food.
"You will be moving into your new home tomorrow," said Kayaba as he served himself some food.
"Tomorrow?" asked Sora. Scratching his cheek, "I thought I wouldn't be moving in until sunday."
"It was going to happen on Sunday, but Rinko moved it to Saturday since she has some business to attend to on Sunday," said Kayaba as he sighed.
Scratching his cheek, Sora nodded, "Alright, I understand."
'I'm getting escorted to a new house by a gentle beauty? I wonder what moves I can pull.'
Sora smirked and finished eating before heading into his room to continue his training in his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
