" Shu why is it that you meditate so much? "
Tristen questioned as he did pull-ups off of a tree branch being watched by Shu who simply tilted his head at the boy's question
" Why do you want to know? "
He replied, crossing his arms together as Tristen continued to do pull-ups, sweat dripping from his forehead like water from a bucket
" It's just that, that's all you do everyday, you sit on the ground for hours and meditate "
Tristen added as he pulled his body upwards, the muscles on his naked back flexing themselves as he continued to drop and pull his body upward and downward
" Ah, that's what you meant.. "
Shu said, pausing as he then ripped off a small branch from one of the trees playing with it to then look up at him
" Well, to be honest, after I was freed from your father's torturing I became immensely strong, so much so that no one here is my equal "
Shu explained as he then smiled, dropping the stick he ripped off the tree, to then Pat the boy's back
" That's two thousand, get off, don't stress your muscles so much, you'll hurt yourself "
He ordered as Tristen soften the grip on the branch allowing himself to fall on the ground, smiling to himself as he showed off his muscles
" Thats all the training I can give you for now, I have to focus on myself from now on, but before that, tell me the routine I gave you so that I know you haven't forgotten "
Shu ordered, as he walked toward an opened bag that seemed to be filled with clothes, before grabbing a shirt throwing it over at Tristen who caught it, putting it own seconds later
" Well, uh, you told me to do Two Thousand, Push-Ups, set-ups, pull-ups, and squats, along with a 1 hour run at full speed "
The boy replied which made Shu smile, feeling proud of the boy
" Good, Good "
Shu whispered as he fondled the boy's hair, screwing up the kid's hairstyle which he didn't mind much
" But, what if the training becomes too easy? Wha do you do then? "
Shu added, as the boy then placed his hand underneath his chin, beginning to think, remembering what Shu told him back when they started training
" Oh right! You told me to double up if the training ever got to easy for me "
Tristen said, sounding proud of himself, he had become stronger after all, he had the right to
" Yes that's correct, but you forgot the part where you have to meditate for at least thirty minutes a day "
Shu replied, making the boy sigh in irritation
" Meditating sounds boring man, besides you told me that it was optional, so I don't wanna do it "
Tristen said, sounding annoyed, he didn't want to waste his time meditating when he could improve by training his body as hard he possibly could
" Well, look at me, I'm super strong aren't I? It's all thanks to meditation "
Shu added, trying to convince the boy who simply glared up at him with his eyes squinted
" As if—don't you remember telling me that you've only started meditating recently? "
Tristen replied, only to then quickly turn around, swinging his arm toward Shu's stomach in an attempt to punch him, but all Shu did was open up his hand, blocking the kid's punch with his palm which created a small burst of wind
" You got stronger punches then when you did when you first awakened, but.. "
Shu smirked, to then stretch his hand back a bit, smacking the boy right on the back of his head
" Run ya, whoever gets back to the house last has to clean the others clothes for a month! "
Shu yelled, before disappearing in a blur of speed, leaving the now raging boy all by himself
" Ugh! Shu!! "
Tritones yelled as he stood up from the ground, the hit was so strong that it made him trip over his own leg. The moment he stood he dashed forward, causing the leaves on the trees to part as he the began to run as fast he could, in an attempt to win this useless and unnecessary race the older boy set up
" Oh hey Shu "
Ayami said, as Shu appeared beside her in a blur of speed, watching her stir what seemed to be pieces of meat and vegetables on a frying pan
" Oh, that smells nice "
Shu whispered as he swallowed the aroma with his nose
" Do you like the kitchen? "
Shu questioned as he backed away from Ayami, allowing her space to cook as the boy looked around the kitchen.
There were cabinets, and there was a sink with a small stove which Ayami was currently using
" Yeah, your blue prints were really helpful "
Ayami replied as Shu simply nodded, shoving his hands inside of pockets to then walk out of the kitchen, heading over to the living room of the house
" Oh hey Shu "
Elena said as she waved at the boy, only to then put all her attention back into the game of chess she was having with Ana
" Where's the boy? "
Ana questioned, not caring to look at Shu whilst moving one of her pawns, causing Shu to smile as he remembered the race he set up
" He'll be here in a second "
Shu replied as he then walked toward the door, his smile growing more to the point that he was now grinning, to then open the door, only to dodge a kick coming from an angry and flying Tristen
" I won't was your clothes! "
Tristen yelled, as he slid on the house's floor to then dash toward Shu who simply laughed at the boy's frustration, running out of the house so that Tristen could chase him outside, which he obviously did, he wanted to punch Shu in the back of his head
" Hehahaha, you gotta be faster than that! "
Shu yelled as he jumped into the air, stretching his arms and legs out whilst laughing as loud as he could only to see Tristen above him with a fist engulfed in sanctuary energy
" Stop moving around so much! "
Tristen yelled attempting to punch the albino boy who simply weaved out of the kid's range, falling on top of a tree after a few seconds of sky diving, beginning to run being chased by Tristen
" They're at it again today "
Elena whispered as she picked up one of her pawns, moving it forward as Ana simply sighed, nodding at Elena's statement.
