It was late at night and Shu couldn't sleep, he just got home from his three year of isolation so he wasn't used to sleeping so soundly.
He sat up from his bed, turning to look at his wife who was sleeping beside him, he moved down a little and placed a kiss on her forehead before getting off the bed.
He put on black shorts, black sandals and a white shirt, only to walk out of the room once he was ready just to see his son at the door
" What are you doing awake? "
Shu questioned as he closed the door behind him as Dio smiled brightly
" It's 5am though? Plus this is the time I usually wake up to train with Uncle Ean "
Dio replied as Shu simply patted his head, sighing a little before walking down the hall being followed by his son
" I understand, but that doesn't explain why you were just standing in front of my room door like that "
Shu said whilst slowly turning to look down at his son who stared back at him, smiling while he did it, as if meeting his dad was the greatest thing to ever happen
" Well I came to wake you up so that you could see me train with uncle Ean! "
Dio said, as he ran forward a little, proceeding to stand in front of Shu, blocking his way
" Wanna come!?! "
Dio yelled only for Shu to smile as he would then lightly smack the back of his son's head, proceeding to caress it seconds later
" Yeah let's go "
Shu whispered as Dio chuckled
" Great I'll guide you so follow m- "
" No it's fine, I can sense his energy "
Shu said, interrupting his son before picking him up from the ground, disappearing in a blur of speed seconds later appearing beside Ean who was currently behind the kingdom in a huge field of pure grass and flowers
" This feels nostalgic "
Shu whispered whilst placing his son on the floor only to turn and look at Ean who simply smiled at his old friend
" Yeah, this is where I found my sword, and also the first time we ever fought each other "
Ean said, making Shu smile as he would then look down at his son who had a gigantic smile on his face
" What did we just do!?! I felt all tingly and now my skin is burning up a little! Did we teleport!?! "
Dio yelled as Ean simply laughed, making Dio frown in annoyance
" That's not funny, just tell me what my father did just now "
Dio demanded as he pointed his finger at Ean who would then look over at Shu who was backing away from the two of them so that he could sit down and watch
" Well, your father simply ran over here, the kinetic energy building up around you two must've been that tingling feeling you felt "
Ean explained chuckling seconds later as he saw Dio's eyes open up in pure shock and excitement
" woah!! Father's that fast!? Can I get just as fast?!? "
" Well if you don't slack and always train, then you might even be faste— "
" Okay! then let's start training now!! "
Dio yelled as he jumped twenty feet into the air, moving backwards, landing on the ground after a few seconds in the air, now standing a few meters away from Ean who scratched the back of his.
At the current moment, Ean was wearing completely black clothes, a long sleeve shirt that held his muscles tightly, with a soggy black sweat pants to match.
Dio was wearing something similar just colored blue
" Whenever you're ready "
Ean said as he would then place his hands behind his back.
Dio then turned to look at his father who gave him a soft smile, filling the boy with more adrenaline and excitement, in nothing more than a second Dio would dash toward the man pulling his arm back, charging it up with sanctuary energy
" What did I tell you about making such broad attacks, don't spread your limbs out that much, unless you know you'll land a hit "
Ean said, correcting the boy's form to then hit him right in his shoulder, dropping him to the ground
" You have to always mind your movements, you can't get careless even if you're opponent is weaker than you "
Ean added as he would then take a few steps back, dodging Dio's attempts at hitting him, doing minimal movements as the kid's limbs weren't that long or big
" Your body can bring you many advantages, make sure to remember that "
Ean continued, as Dio simply grunted a little dashing backwards a little to then let out a small scream as his body was now covered in a blue aura
" I get it, you've told me this multiple times, I'm tired of hearing it, just teach me how to be like you "
Dio replied before dashing toward the man at a very high speed, the air slowly condensing around his body as he would then raise his arm, pulling it back a bit as if to charge up an attack
" What did I tell you about broad attac— "
Ean would thrust his arm forward, attempting to use his fingers to hit the boy's shoulder again, but Dio would drop his attack, using the speed he had just built up to slide across the ground; sliding around the man to then hit him right behind his left knee, making him kneel before placing his leg behind the man's foot, jumping into Ean's back surrounding his neck only to squeeze it seconds later
" Hahaha, you say I never pay attention, but look at that, I won! "
Dio declared as Ean simply stood up with Dio stuck to his back
" Like I said, your body can bring you many advantages "
Ean whispered before grabbing onto the Boy's arms gripping them tightly, to then lift him proceeding to slam him against the ground, making the boy spit out blood
" I'm much bigger and stronger than you, so you have to do either two things, which are… "
Ean stopped, looking down at Dio, expecting him to finish the sentence
" Speed or strength"
Dio replied with a small sigh as he would then stand up from the ground, his aura disappearing as he did so
" Wait! I just got an idea, why don't you and my father have a match!? "
Dio yelled as he looked up at Ean then over to his father who was laying on the ground looking up at the sky
" If me and Shu were to ever fight we would destroy this entire continent with our battle "
Ean explained, making the boy sigh in disappointment
" But—how about you guys just fight!? "
" Did you just not hear what I said a second ago? "
" No—yes, I did but what I mean is what if you guys just fight, with nothing else involved. No sanctuary energy, no powers, no weapons, just fighting?!? "
Dio yelled, as Shu slowly sat up, hearing what the two were talking about, which of course picked his interest
" Well, that wouldn't be such a bad idea, but I don't know if your father would want to fight, I mean he just came back from three years of training in isolation "
Ean explained as Shu simply stood up from the ground, scratching the back of his head a little to then walk over to the two
" I don't mind, plus, I've been meaning to use my hands, all this sleeping, talking and doing nothing has been getting boring "
Shu said, making both Ean and Dio smile, as the sun began to rise, shining upon the three males
" Stand back Dio "
Ean ordered as the boy listened, running a few miles away from them, to then look over at the two with excitement
" Whenever you're ready "
Shu said as he looked over at Ean who was now standing a few meters away from him
" 1 "
" 2 "
" 3 "
Dio counted in his mind, and once he reached three, both Ean and Shu dashed toward each other, looking to land each their own attacks
