Kei swallowed the pill and closed his eyes to focus on his technique
The healing process was exponentially quicker than that of a normal person. That pill not only healed Kei, but also boosted his cultivation, not enough for a breakthrough but it was better than nothing
After healing all the way he opened his eyes
"That took less time than I thought it would, what was that like? 4 to 5 hours?"
Kei's Question was not answered by anyone, as he was alone
'I should look for Akira now that I'm well'
Kei got up and walked through the dojo admiring the olden look of the place, but then he passed a certain door leading to the training grounds
~Swiss swiis swiiss~ ~clank~
Someone was training, Kei headed inside and there he saw a woman holding a spear training all alone.
It was Akira's older sister, Akari. Her spear technique was beautiful to say the least, she had reached a level Kei couldn't yet imagine
She had finally noticed Kei as he was getting mesmerised
"Kei?"
~dash~
And then she dashed at him and attacked
~boom!~
Thankfully Kei dodged in time and she hit the ground making dust come up. The Training ground was big, the ground was made of dirt and there were some training dummies lying around
"The hell Akari?!"
Kei questioned her actions as attacking someone the moment you meet them isn't exactly common
"So it was true. You became a cultivator! Now we can spar!"
Akari was ecstatic to say the least she was always competitive even at small stuff like board games
"I think I'm a little under leveled to fight you, plus, WHY WOULD YOU ATTACK ME TO FIND OUT IF I WAS A CULTIVATOR OR NOT!? WHAT IF I WASN'T?"
"I wouldn't have hurt you silly, I could adjust my strength. Probably. And about being under leveled, I'll just suppress my cultivation realm to Late foundation establishment"
She said confidently
Kei readied himself because he knew what was coming next
~swoosh~
Akari swang her spear at him
And Kei used the eclipse steps to evade her
"Oh what is this? Some kind of vanishing technique?"
It seemed as if Keisuke's technique's special "camouflage" worked on her
"Haha! My eyes can see through such an unrefined half-baked technique!"
It was true, Kei hadn't trained this technique enough, no, he hadn't cultivated any technique enough, most of them were at 3 or 4 star when they could go up to 10 star
'damn it she's right, but it's not like I had enough time to practice my techniques enough'
She tried to pierce me again but Kei used his fist technique on the ground to blind her
~boom~
"AH! My eyes!"
Some dust actually got in her eyes
'This is my chance!'
Kei swiftly manoeuvred behind her getting ready to hit her
~Swoosh~ thud~
She hit Kei's head with the blunt side of the spear and he fell face first to the ground
"what the.."
Kei then remembered something crucial about cultivators
"ah... Divine consciousness."
"You have some battle sense, even if your techniques aren't refined, with a little training you'll-"
But she got interrupted by someone
"Akari! He just recovered! Why did you have to beat him up!"
It was Akira
Kei got up and tried to defuse the situation
"it's fine Akira, look I'm fine"
"I didn't use much force, he'll be fine... At most he would have gotten a concussion"
Akari defended herself as well
"Ugh, fine. Kei, catch"
Akira threw something wrapped in cloth at Kei,
It was a sword
~clank~
And he caught it
"it's not the best, but it's also not the worst, it'll do for now, I used it as a child until I got a better sword"
Keisuke unravelled the cloth and took a look at the sword, it looked just like a plain sword a normal cultivator would have, nothing fancy, but Kei was moved
"Akiraaaaa! Thank youuu"
I hugged Akira teary eyed
"Kei you'll train here for a month, or longer, you can train here however much you want but you will have to go to school after a month, thankfully after that there is only 1 month left until we graduate"
Akira said in a relieved tone
"That's cool and all but, what If God strikes again while I'm training?"
"Don't worry about that, the dojo has arrays that block presences so it's hard to find and hard to find someone in it, a legend passed down in our clan says that the founder, who had reached unimaginable realms, placed these arrays here on the dojo along with a Qi Gathering array, training here is much better than somewhere in the city in an abandoned building"
Akira proclaimed with a smug look at his last sentence as if he knew something he shouldn't
"How did you know I trained there! You stalker!"
Kei jokingly said, but he still had the curiosity to find out.
"Well you see, it appears someone fought there with some weird "aliens"... "
*Flash back to Akira watching the news*
News guy
-"Someone caught a wiff of blood and the abandoned building was investigated by the police, they found 5 dead bodies of weird dog people! Did they make some weird monster in a lab? Are they human-dog hybrids? Or could they have something to do with the aliens that came before? Follow us while we unravel the mysteries first as the best news outlet, vos news!"
*Flashback end*
" Oh yeah, something like that did happen haha.."
Kei said while awkwardly scratching the back of his head
"Wait, so you fought against aliens and survived before, what was the problem this time?"
Akari genuinely surprised asked for an explanation
"Akari, they aren't aliens. They are monsters from another dimension that God is trying to make me go to in order to save it or something"
Kei gave a simple explanation as getting into the meat and potatoes would be too much right now
"What?"
Akari still confused
"The reason I couldn't win this time is because the monster God summoned this time was too strong for me, the other two times it was manageable, anyway I'll explain more as we train"
"Well I hope you make it clear"
Akari said as she got into a fight stance with her spear
"So do I"
Kei pulled the sword from its sheath, dropped the Sheath to the ground and got into a fight stance himself
'But before training, I should check my status. System! Show my status!'

Authors note about arrays: arrays are like precise drawings with runes that affect their limited area, some gather Qi in one spot, others make a place invisible. Humans make the arrays
Authors note: In my younger years(still young) I was thinking of writing as a chore, but as my love for fiction grew and I started thinking about making a story of my own, and I liked making it. Sure, it was a bit junky, but hey, the point is that you enjoy doing something, no?
Authors second coming :donzo with this one as well
