Back at the ship, beneath the basement, the engineering crew was working on translating the data from the ship on a computer. Whilst doing so, Tobi was given a long list of information that was handwritten by Tesla, the head of the crew.
The list contained everything that had happened to the ship and was going to be typed into the computer and sent to the seaport at Tokishiki.
While the rest of the crew was busy with the first task they had, there was still time left for Tobi to relax and analyze the list that was assigned to him.
Tobi soon remembers the threats from Koba during the training exercise, he puts down the list and focuses on the sketching he made by analyzing the movements Crystal demonstrated,
At first, he got to understand a part of the move but his problem was how does he build the momentum to do so?
He's a mere human, Crystal is an Ackerman and a girl at the same time! She was more advantaged as a woman due to her biological abilities one of which was flexibility on top of that she was superhuman, very powerful at that!
"sigh" The longer he looked at his sketches, the more he felt hopeless, It discouraged Tobi to try out any of the exercises since it was reasonably impossible until Tesla had a look at the drawings.
"boy... this is...!"
Now, Tesla was a physics professor that worked with energy and a bunch of other physical properties of the world. He was a professor at the university in Tokishiki, where he taught for 27 years the physics of energy, light, and mechanics and soon got a job from the government asking him to monitor the engines of the country's navy ships. Working with the government for another 14 years, Tesla resigned and moved to the countryside of Neda in Toki, and began a little experiment.
The experiment was to enhance the physical capabilities of a human to a whopping 1000% advantage, making superhumans!
This involved strength training, Flexibility, Muscle building, Compound exercises, Martial arts, Gymnastics, Cardio training, speed, reflexes, and durability.
Being the physicist that Tesla was, he drew up some amazing forms that humans could use to enhance their physical capabilities and be stronger than normal humans who did nothing.
After a year worth of work, he eventually comes up with a move that combines all the physical exercises, this was a move that if anyone masters they can compare themselves to a low-grade Ackerman... at least.
Of course, this was an insane experiment that was not moderately humanly possible, and none of the test subjects that his biologist friend, Jeremy brought, were able to successfully master the Fukanaou move.
Fukanaou was the name of the movement, it was a combination of high-intensity squats, jumps, kicks, and flexibility movements! All in the order for the first move Koba explained to Tobi!
This is why, when Tesla saw the drawings of Tobi he couldn't believe his eyes. The once impossible move he abandoned a year ago, was finally coming to him, ' maybe he might be the first to master Fukanaou! ' Tesla thought in excitement!
The Fukanaou move or the Kana for short, either way, were moves that defied the laws of physics in this world. That's what made it extremely difficult, but even with the difficulty, Tesla still had a nudge... that they can be perfected, he knew something was missing but couldn't quite get a good grasp of it and in the end, he gave up on the experiment.
But with one look at the sketches that Tobi drew, The final piece of the Kana move was found! " Tesla... is everything alright? ". Tobi saw the shocked but at the same time relieved state that Tesla was in, so he asks again "Did you see anything? ", immediately! Tesla puts the paper into his back pocket and holds Tobi by the shoulder! '' boy! tell me have you mastered the move " Tobi was startled at Tesla's sudden reaction to his sketching, in a shaky voice he responds "N...no...? "
Tesla tightly closed his eyes and slaps his forehead, " damn it! " Tobi looked worried at Tesla and asked if everything was alright " Sir? is there any problem? " Tesla waves his hand at Tobi assuring him that everything was fine,
After a while of contemplating, Tesla gives back the sketches that belonged to Tobi and Tobi receives them and keeps it in his front pocket, " after this, I want to see behind the dock " Tesla tells Tobi to meet him after work and resumes to the original task at hand then, Tobi starts listing the info on the paper for the rest of the crew to type in the computer.
...
At the other side of the ship, Crystal could be seen training rigorously, with her two fists clenched and raised as if she were in a boxing match. 'Kap! Kap! Kap!' were just sounds of her hitting the air, the speed of her punches was faster than the gas molecules in the air to escape, it was like she trapped air in a straight line, and at the very last second, she would punch it, giving it that sound.
Needless to say, Crystal's physique has gotten muscular, she had a very sturdy body that fit her perfectly, and her facial expressions were becoming bolder with the everyday worth of training. She was improving faster than any other Ackerman that has existed, and at this rate, she might just be the only strongest Ackerman alive.
Pretty sweet for a girl, but becoming the strongest Ackerman alive wasn't what Crystal was after...
She wondered what would become of her and Tobi if they defeated the psychopathic brothers,
Are going to kill them? Send them off to the army? Make them submit to authority? What is going to happen after all of this?
Overthinking was what she was indulging herself with, but that wasn't the only thing on her mind. "How is Tobi going to feel about all this? " After all, Tobi was her "brother" and she cared for him too much to let anything happen to him, Koba did not keep any promise to the request he gave them. They didn't know if they were going to be safe if they were going to be handicapped, or even more tragic if they would lose either or both of their lives. Optimism did she try to be but reality was far from beds of roses.
Crystal continued her punches and kicks in the air, "Kap! Kap! Kap!! " this time louder than ever
'silt silt silt...' The momentum coming from her punches bent the wind in her direction so much, the speed of the punches collapsed in the wind around her hand making the wind blow faster and in a smaller volume, this made the wind act almost like a sword, how? The lower arms of Crystal had been sliced up at several parts, she was bleeding heavily but she didn't feel the pain.
She stopped punching and sat down on a bench nearby and drank some water, and as her salty sweat dripped on her wounded arms, Crystal closed the cap of the bottle and cleaned her mouth leaving a huge smirk on her face "Finally...", Crystal stands up from the bench and leaves to meet Tobi for more training.
...
At the other side of the ship, Tobi and Tesla were reviewing the sketches from last night, the first move that Koba explained to Tobi was what Tesla called the " Fukanaou move ". Tesla wanted to help Tobi master the move since it would be like a dream come true for him, after long thoughts and joining both heads together, they stumbled upon yet, another problem.
The first problem was " strength", Tobi did not think he had the strength to do the move at all, despite his decent build, he wasn't muscular at all, but was fit enough with his abs showing and a few muscles on his biceps and triceps and things but none of them were bulky or bulging or even huge! But Tesla assured him that he had the strength to do it, the problem now was how is he going to be able to quickly switch between those moves without breaking his bones or falling to the ground and potentially breaking his head...
That's where Tesla comes in, "You are going to make gravity a friend ", "A friend? " Tobi questions Tesla's statement.
"how am I supposed to do that? "
"just do it like this"
Tesla draws out a huge piece of paper on the ground and nails the paper to the wooden floor at all four edges, and he starts writing
" Gravity is an opposing force, if you go up... it pulls you down, but if you escape it's pull... you lose something "
Tobi gets on the ground with Tesla and looks at what he wrote, it was newtons gravitational law! Although Tobi never went to school or any academia of any sort he was quick to understand what Tesla was saying!
"you lose your energy and force!"
"yep! You lose your momentum!" Tesla responds with a smile on his face as he looks back at Tobi's excited and eager face.
"Now, if you want to complete this move you have to increase your momentum even as you oppose gravity... that can be achieved by becoming one. with gravity"
'but how?' Tobi thought to himself as he looks at Tesla's drawing on the large paper, '...wait a minute-' Tobi got an idea, what if he was able to obtain gravity itself in his hands, he can bend his motions to his will!
And so, Tobi tells Tesla what he was thinking about, Tesla was shocked at the statement! In all his years of being a physicist, never has he thought about obtaining the gravitational force and bending it to one's will, it just sounded impossible... that was until Tobi mentioned it.
So they decided to test it out, The technique was simple, Tobi imagined gravity as a string and envisioned himself grabbing onto the string tightly! that he cannot let go,
With that, he takes in a very deep breath and starts with his left foot as he shoots himself upwards and closes his eyes, he envisioned the rope of gravity and grabs onto it, making him stay in the air for more than 5 seconds, he grabs the string with another hand and performs the 360 degrees kick! He lands immediately on the ground and just like lightning he performs the three front flips and lets go of the string at the last flip, he shoots his legs in the direction of the sea, and whoosh a great gust of wind blew in the direction of his legs!
" Woah! I can't believe you're able to do it so soon!"
" you're a genius! " Tesla exclaimed!
"yeah! I can't believe it worked!" Tobi got up to his feet and jumped in excitement.
* clap, clap, clap *
"well done my black genius..." Crystal came out of the corner clapping her hands that were tied in bandages, she had a relieved look on her face and there she patted Tobi on the head,
"Well, what about the next move, we only have tomorrow..."
