"Oi, what on heavens happened to you?" Hachiman shouted as his shield appeared from behind the shrine.
Voom!
It sheltered its owner. "This is bad!" Hachi remarked as he peaked at him behind the shield.
Hakai took a step towards Hachi, looking up. His eyes seemed stuffed with evil intentions.
"Ahahah!" He laughed uncontrollably again, "Look, Hachi!" He shouted while raising his arms to the side. "Just kidding!" He said with a childish demeanor. He reached his arm behind himself and patted his head while laughing at the scared Hachi.
"Huh?" Hachiman sounded in confusion at his utterly dumb friend. A prankster above all, Hakai was bound to pull such a prank after receiving a massive upgrade.
"You're the coward!" He yelled taunting words at him. "look at you all scared! I was just kidding!" Hakai said while slapping his knee in laughter.
"You! You little shit!" Hachiman shouted as he chased after him with the shield. "Come here. I'm going to bash into pieces! He ordered his shield after the fleeting Hakai.
"Oi, oi, oi. Wait!" Hakai shouted as the shield ran him over.
Hakai laid on the ground with his back, laughing while the shield bashed him lightly.
"You! Little! Shit!" Hachiman scolded him, also breaking into a burst of laughter.
"Okay, enough," Hachiman said as the shield flew back into the direction it came. "Next segment." He informed Hakai while walking over to him and reaching out his arm. Then, helping him off the ground, he pointed to a particular tree and ordered him to go up there. "Do you see that thick branch?" Hachi asked him.
"Hmm. The tree I climbed!" Hakai sounded as he noticed it.
"Go up the tree and hang from your legs." He said as Hakai ran towards it, leaving him in the dust.
"Will do, will do!" He said. Instead, he climbed the tree and chased after the love birds that were up there.
"Hey, dumbass, leave them alone!" Hachi scolded him while catching up.
"But, I wanna pet 'em!" Hakai cried as he went back down to the first thick branch.
"Now, hang upside down," Hachiman demanded as Hakai got to the branch.
"Fine." He replied while hanging upside down. "What's the meaning of this anyway?" Hakai asked, dazed at the idea.
"Now, flow energy through your body." He instructed him next.
"Okay." He did as told.
"Now, do you feel anything odd or different?" He asked Hakai. Hakai, curious about what his friend was getting at, closed his eyes and concentrated his attention on every sensation that traveled through his body. Then, a sudden feeling increased, and he shouted.
"I feel it, I feel it!" He informed Hakai as he lost his concentration.
"What was that feeling?" He asked Hakai as he crossed his arms.
"It felt as if my energy was draining more than when I was standing up, not by a much, not even noticeable, but it's there." He explained as he allowed himself to fall from the tree and land on his feet.
"Excellent work." He once again praised his efforts. Hakai again admired the praises with awe. "So, your stamina still needs improvement." He said to Hakai as he told him his next course of action. "I want you to swing this spear for as many times as possible." He informed Hakai as a long spear, gleaming in beauty, appeared in his hand.
"Wow!" Hakai was awed in amazement. "It's glorious!" he shouted as he took the spear of his hand. "So, only swings, or can I free play with it?" He asked Hachi while looking back at him with sparkly stars in his eyes.
"Only light swings and avoid as many shockwaves as possible." He informed Hakai while looking at his beautiful backyard.
"I will try!" Hakai said as he swung the spear with some slight force behind it.
Boof!
Hakai caused a shockwave that ripped the ground where he swung the spear.
"You! You! You little punk, light swings!" He screamed at him with a mouth full of spits.
"Sorry." Hakai apologized with a blank expression.
"Doesn't help." He screamed at him while picking up a small flower. "Don't cause any shockwaves!" He yelled again.
"Alright!" Hakai said with excitement.
Hah!
Hmm!
Heya!
Ahh!
His screams filled the yard as he swung the spear with light force.
"Oh, I forgot to mention! Count your swings!" Hachi informed him as he had already swung the spear about thirty times.
"Huh? You should've told me from the beginning!" Hakai complained as he started counting.
"One."
"Two."
"Three..."
***
"Ten thousand and two thousand, two hundred and thirty-two!" He screamed as he fell flat onto his bottom. The glorious spear fell beside him as Hachi man arched towards Hakai, looking directly at him.
"Not bad, but not as good as it can be!" Hachiman praised the new stamina. "How many swings do you think you could've had with only your physical energy?" Hachiman asked him.
"Maybe around five thousand," Hakai answered him while breathing quite heavily.
"A double increase in stamina, not bad at all considering the small amount of energy this vessel can harbor." He informed Hakai as he placed a positive energy replenishing tag on his face.
"What's this? What are you doing to me?" Hakai asked as he raised his arms, trying to remove the tag, yet he didn't.
"This should replenish both your physical and positive energy." He said while the tag beamed in a green light!
Shwof!
"Ohh! I feel refreshed!" Hakai jumped up as his total energy was back.
"I only used this once a month tag for this coming purpose," Hachi informed Hakai as he picked up what belonged to him, The Spear of Battle.
"God of Destrucion, Hakai." Hachiman said as his shield flew and levitated behind his back. He gripped the spear as armor appeared from thin air, protecting his body.
"How're you wearing armor?" Hakai asked him in a daze.
Wham!
Hachiman transported himself and Hakai into a different world in his Takamagahara.
"Final segment of training, Sparring session!" Hachiman's intimidating voice, armor, stare, and weapons point sent exciting shivers down Hakai's spine.
"You cheeky monkey, let's do it!" Hakai screamed as this world was pitch-black, and underneath their feet was a glowing surface composed of natural luminescent ore. Hakai arched forward, and the Daggers of Calamity appeared in both his hands. He looked up and smiled.
