While Ragna Twelve and Ragna 69 are having some nostalgia, Ragna Current (Ragna/Our MC) immediately holds his shared vision about their flashbacks and immediately asks Galen about how he managed to use Ki.
" So tell me the secret... "
" Tell me the secret on how you and your entire family managed to add the Ki Energy without being repelled by the Gift Core's outside energy elimination system*? " Ragna asks Galen which made him silent as he thinks for a bit.
" You..., you really want to know? " Galen asks back.
" Of course I do, why do you think I had to reveal some of my secrets to you in the first place, in order for you to trust me more? " Ragna asks as he then adds that his foresight and visions regarding Galen's future are actually quite blurry but based on his experience, the spoilers of fate that it brings are usually 53% accurate.
Hearing that, Galen then smirks as he was now assured by Ragna's words. Realizing that Ragna is saying the truth.
" It seems you always spoke things truthfully, when using Ki, I can sense that you're not lying about your 'secrets' "
" Even I was not sure to spoil my family's basic teachings to you in the first place, yet you just revealed your, no..., one of your greatest secrets to me freely without any hold. " Galen praises Ragna.
" Fine then, since you had proven yourself..., I shall then honor you with the first teachings you need to know in performing some of my Martial Arts Techniques. "
" By first, learning how to Cultivate the Ki inside you, without the Gift Cores interference. " Galen says as he then tells the basic secrets that Ragna needs to know before learning while both of them sit on the ground.
" Ragna, before I relay to you the teachings, there's something that I want to ask again. "
" What is it? "
" How did you know about the Ki energy? in the first place? " Galen asks, reminding Ragna that after many years, the gods had do what they can to reduce all knowledge regarding outside Energies such as Mana and Ki, even banning some arts or entertainment that had such topics inside it, especially in Trinia, since it is the central place where the gods rule the earth.
" Hmmm... from Anime and Manga... " Ragna says since he tells Galen that he often watches and reads some famous stories that have some martial arts or superpowers in them, he also tells Galen that he often consumes those stories thanks to his old friend in Elementary School had discovered an unnoticed (could be illegal) access to get those stories without being blocked and tracked by the Government.
" Basically I know the Ki things from Dragon Ball, Kungfu Boy, and Black Clover*. "
" But right after the Trinia government started increasing their surveillance over the internet. "
" I now lack the access to watch those animes or read the mangas again. " Ragna tells Galen based on his 'weeb' and 'nerd' knowledge.
" From what I know, sorry if I'm wrong, Ki is the flow of life energy inside every living being, it was said many times that it can be influenced by our thoughts and actions. "
" Based on what I have seen, in fiction, Ki can be used to give our body a great physical boost and maybe could blast some Ki blasts,... "
" And could be attained through many years of training... "
" Isn't that right? " Ragna says which Galen nods as he immediately thinks to himself.
"( I see, so this is what other people in the world when they think about the Ki energy? ) " Galen nods while feeling dumbed at the same time.
"( O grandfather, it seems I can finally understand why people think Ki is such an old school Power. )" Galen says.
" I see, your viewpoint now... " Galen says.
" Was I wrong? " Ragna asks while Galen still nods.
" Sorry if I'm wrong since I'm not using the [Twelve Eye of Time] to help me answer. " Ragna says as he told Galen that the Twelve Eye is on a Cooldown that could take 50 minutes.
< The [Twelve Eye of Time] Skill is on Cooldown for 50 MIN >
" It's alright actually, your natural view of Ki is not as wrong as the others might think about it. " Galen says as he tells that the Ki is indeed a flow of life energy inside our very body.
" So I was right? " Ragna says as he wonders if the 'applications' or the 'possible abilities' that Ki users in fiction are often depicted within the TV Shows are right.
" Yes, but not entirely... "
" After all the Ki usage on the TV shows you mentioned was only the tip of the iceberg on what it could be used since there are more variants on using it. " Galen says.
" For example, my Ki can be used to energize myself in times of need, simply by concentrating my Ki to empower my body to do more activities. "
"There's also another use of Ki that I could do and that is... "
" Empowering my Gift Core's ability. " Galen says which made Ragna shocked.
" Really!? can I learn it!? " Ragna asks as he wonders if Galen can teach him that kind of use.
" Wait! before we go there... " Galen stops Ragna and says.
"There are some corrections that I need to tell you regarding your basic knowledge about Ki. " Galen says as he then shows Ragna his ability [Sting Thunder] as he punches the rock nearby, thus resulting in the ground filled with electroshock, later he then does another punch with [Sting Thunder] but was buffed with Ki which results in a larger crack, a larger crack filled with Thunder.
As Ragna sees it, Ragna then realizes some differences between the attacks, from the first attack, the Thunder Galen only manages to just give the rock some thunder which only results in the shock elemental reaction, but the rock just stays still.
On the other hand, the second attack was more damaging since the punch managed to crack the ground and also. somehow, creating an elemental energy flow inside the crack or whatever it is.
" I don't understand, what did you just do? " Ragna asks Galen replies.
" Ragna, if I remember that you want to learn how I can use both the Gift Core Energy and the Ki energy at the same time, didn't you? "
" Well let me now tell you the secret. "
" There is no way that one could cultivate the Ki inside their own body while having a Gift Core inside it. " Galen says as he shows Ragna his Ki.
" But, there is a way... "
" For there our Gift Core, despite its perfect design made by the gods. "
" They actually had a bit of a weakness. "
" Regarding the function of eliminating outside energy sources other than the Gift Core's power. " Galen explains to Ragna immediately as he then relays it out.
