Hermes woke up from his 4 hour nap and ate all of the food that was saved for him.
After he came out of the shower, he went into the room to change and Robin was laying on the bed in her underwear. He only had the towel wrapped around his waist.
...
Tension
...
She just stares him down and he looks back at her with the punk face he always has. Then Robin says, "Umm, I dont know why you waste your time on someone like Ashley. It's been long enough and she still hasn't talked to you yet." She takes a sip from her drink.
Hermes smiles and grabs her drink from her hand and also drinks from it and asks, "why does it matter??" then he gets closer to her face with a smirk and says, "What?? Are you interested in this?"
Robin blushes and snatches her drink back from him and laughs while Hermes turns around and starts to change into sleeping clothes.
"hehehe, you're too young for me." ~ Robin
After Hermes finished changing clothes he jumped on top of her and got close to her neck and slowly grazed his lips all the way up to her ear and whispered, "you'd be surprised at what this young guy could do." Then he laughs as he lays next to her on the bed. He feels a warmth coming from Robin, she takes a deep breath.
"ummm, don't toy with me little boy hahaha. Besides you couldn't handle all this anyway." Robin says then stares at him with a daring look as if she was provoking him.
He stares back into her eyes and then up and down her body with the stare of a animal ready to devour, he couldn't contain how he felt towards her perfect silky smooth body. Then licks his lips like he could almost taste it.
*Aww please don't look at me like that* Robin thinks. *you're letting your lacsivious desires get the best of you Robin... maybe I've had too much to drink...*
"Ven aca"

(Next day after all of the morning routines were done)
"here Hermes I made you this while you did the morning routine, don't think nothing of it..." Robin hands Hermes a plate of food that she made, it was a famous plate from their homeland.
"Wow, I haven't had this in while... thank you!" He smiles and eats the food...
...
"Okay, time to start the ki training. This is the main reason why we came here, I'm going to teach you how to coat you're body with ki and use it in fighting. You know more about this already then you think, because you've used ki without realizing it. Like when you were chasing Tina.... Here, put your hand out like this and start focusing all of your energy in your fingertips..." Robin's finger start getting coated in bright yellowish aura. Following her instructions, Hermes did the same thing and closed his eyes trying to focus as hard as he could. "make sure to control your breathing and picture a river flowing from to to bottom, your blood from your brain all the way through your heart, down to your finger tips."
BOOM**
a huge amount of KI started pouring out of Hermes's fingertips in a wild manner in a dark greenish color.. Robin stared amazed at the color and amount of KI Hermes was able to pour out, *Fascinating, I've never seen this color before...*
"Nice, now try to control the amount of ki you pour out and don't let it go wild, try to concentrate on taming all of the ki and making it an extension of yourself." Robin says and in an instant he managed to control the amount of Ki he was poring out, it was no longer wild, the color of the green ki got darker with teal stripes flowing along beautifully.
"Ki feels amazing, I feel like I have unlimited power right now.."
"I knew you could do it since you're a fast learner, just to let you know be proud of yourself because it takes the average person a week to even form ki, let alone tame and control it."
"I mean is all thanks to you Mami" He stares at her with a smirk...
"stop looking at me like that you weirdo hahaha.. Okay for the last part of this all you have to do is coat your entire body with ki the same way you did with your fingers and fully control it. This is the hard part and trust me once you control ki everything around you will change. You'll become one with nature and will be able to work on the types of Ki and everything else... This will be your task until the end, this is a battle you decide how far to take... work on your ki every day and you will sharpen it."
"..." Hermes just stares and nods.
" Once you get this down, it will be straight combat training all the way until the trial starts..." ~Robin
"Got you" he, immediately starts the ki training.
*This guy is going to be a real monster, I had to be the one to train him and show him to unleash his full potential* then she stares at him focusing on what he is doing and blushes a little... *ugh what i'm i doing, forgive me Ashley*
...
After a lot of sweating and hard work, this was definitely the hardest thing he'd ever had to do. This wasn't going to stop him though, he didn't give up until he could fully control the Ki around his whole body...
It took him over 2 hours to coat his body.
Once he was done Robin made him walk around while coating his body with Ki until he was fully comfortable. It took him the entire rest of the day to learn how to control it while running and basic fighting drills. Robin also made him keep his ki up the entire night while sleeping. This was the most exhausting training, it drained all of his energy. But with hard work comes results you just have to endure it.
...
After two more days of training he managed to control his ki in his sleep, it became like breathing to him.
Fyuuuuu Boom****
a really big boulder crashed down the house that Hermes was sleeping in and hit him dead on... It came so fast and hard that in pushed him a couple of feet below the floor. It was a person with a mask from one of the mountains that threw it and was getting ready to throw the other one as he put his hand up and a boulder started forming out of thing air, then he launched it towards Hermes once more. However, this time Hermes was ready and he jumped up punched it in half and kicked one half back at the masked one and the masked one broke it with one hand.
Without thinking Hermes increased his ki and ran at full speed towards him, ki increases everything including power and speed, hermes was moving so fast that it felt like he was slightly disappearing as the masked one kept striking him with smaller boulders. Once Hermes got closer he used a technique he saw Robin use, a sort of flash and appeared right behind him. He kicked him to the ground and kept chasing after him because he figured since he was attacking with boulders he needed to keep the fight closed ranged.
They exchanged a couple of strikes, then the masked one summoned two boulders from the ground, broke them and sent them towards Hermes in order to make dust and a distraction to escape, he did a back flip to keep the fight long ranged... the dust got into Hermes eyes and he couldn't see clearly.
"haha just as I thought, you're afraid to fight me upclose... as long as I get close he's done for..." Hermes says then thinks *this guys steps seem familiar**
Boom!
Boom!
2 boulders hit Hermes dead on, he couldn't dodge because he couldn't see properly but was able to catch them with his hands.
He had an idea where his opponent was from the trajectory of the boulders...
Boom!
Boom!
Another 2 boulders charged at him from complete different directions...
There was nothing he could do in this situation. He just had to keep tanking the boulders until he could see clearly, since the boulders started coming from different directions now.
At this moment of helplessness he remembered what Ashley had mentioned, it is true that ki increases a lot of things such as power , control and speed but there also different types of ki:
**Intimidation ki, the one you already have experience with. Fade ki, which completely vanishes your presence, however even though anyone can possibly learn it, it is quite difficult to learn so only experienced people master it. Target ki, which locates every living thing within a certain diameter, your body being in the center. The diameter gets bigger the more you train, this is another really hard one to master. I guess they all are.**
That's it!
All I have to do is try to awaken target ki. If i focus hard enough I think i could do it. This whole time I've been practicing to ki coating, maybe if i release all of my ki to surround this whole room, then maybe I can do it... might as well go for it.* ~Hermes continued thinking. He did all this while dodging or stopping all of the incoming boulders.
BOOM
All of Hermes Ki expanded about 15 feet around him and he could feel every living creature, every grain of sand, very piece of wood in those 15 feet.
He must be hiding his presence because i can't feel him at all..." ~ Hermes
Then there it was, just as the next boulder was about to launch towards him he got a tiny bit of presence. He knew...
"Robin!!" Hermes yells. "Stop sending the retired to do your dirty work and come do it yourself... or what you're too scared to face me now. Hahaha. That's fine i'll show you what i'm about."
100%*
Hermes releases all of his ki and it filled the entire room in an instant... he couldn't feel everything clearly around him now. The reason being his Ki was wild since he had never released all of his it at once... it took Hermes about 1.5 seconds to find him..
Even though it was only his second time using it, it felt like Hermes had mastered the flash step Robin used...
with this he appeared in front of the masked one (Tony) and as he was about to strike Hermes back, hermes quickly stroke him in the bicep and the masked one lost his strength from that arm. Afterwards, Hermes held (Tony) up agaisnt the wall with his forearm and then concentrated all of his wild ki that was surrounding the room on his left hand and as he was about to viciously strike, Robin appeared next to him and said, "All right, you can stop now." Hermes didn't listen and Robin got closer and said, " I said to stop."
Hermes look at Robin, smiled and said, "you should stop underestimati...." Thunbb!!!* Hermes felt a sting in his chest and then he fell backwards and couldn't feel his body.
"Pretty good hermes you aced the test. From now on i'll be fighting you... all you need is some rest" Robin said to Hermes while smiling..
"hehehe.. you're not ready.. for me.. fuck my body hurts" Hermes responded.
Then Robin looked towards Tony and said, " thank you for that Tony, thanks to you he is able to grow even further."
Tony replied, " hehehe, i am way too old for this.. but i am glad, this boy is truly special." then stared at Hermes laying on the ground. *I'm still afraid of what you'll become*
"Hermes from now on your journey gets harder, always reach for the sky and never let up..."
