The first week of training. On day one, in the morning, I went up to Crystal and said, "Good Morning Crystal, I have a question, are you capable of creating a beast made of lightning?" Crystal replied, "yes, I can only create a cheetah made of lightning." Crystal created a cheetah made of lightning right in front of me and It look pretty cool so I said: "I want to practice my stamina, so is it okay if you make your cheetah attack me and I have to outrun it?" Crystal looked shocked and said, "what if you can't outrun it and you get hurt?" I said, "You don't have to worry about me, if it gets too close to me, I can use Corrupt Blackhole or just take it like a man." Crystal giggled and said, "okay, let's do this." So, we went to Eren, and I asked him, "Eren, do you know a place with an open field so I can start training with Crystal?" Eren replied, "ahh, yes I do know a place where it has an open field." Eren opened a portal, and Crystal, Eren, and I walked through it. When I look around, it feels like we're not on earth anymore. The sky was yellow, the clouds were gray, the ground was orange, and the atmosphere felt different. I look at Eren asking him, "where are we?" Eren replied, "don't worry, just know that this place will be good training for you." I looked at Crystal and asked her, "are you ready?" Crystal replied, "I feel weird like my power is growing, Eren what is going on? What is this place?" Eren replies, "this place gives lightning users extra power, so there is no life-threatening here." I was confused but I have to focus on my training and tell Crystal to bring out the cheetah made of lightning. Crystal summoned the cheetah, and I got ready to run then Eren said, "ready…set…go!" I started sprinting then after a few steps BAM!! The cheetah caught me, making me stunned for a few minutes when I got up Eren said, "that was only five seconds." I said, "again!" I got into my running stance, Crystal cheetah hadn't disappeared yet, and Eren said, "ready…set…go!"
Six days later, trying to outrun the cheetah made of lightning Crystal summoned, I fell to my knees and kept saying, "why…why…WHY!! Why can't I outrun that damn cheetah?! It's already been six days!" Eren said, "it is because you try to outrun a cheetah that is made of lightning which is ten times faster also it is even faster because this area gives it more power." Crystal says, "Eren is right, you should stop trying to outrun it, Maikeru." I got frustrated and I said, "no I'm not going to give up, let's go again Crystal'' Crystal nodded and Eren said, "Ready…Set…Go." I turn around and I said, "Corrupted Blackhole!" I put my hand out and a black hole came out and absorbed the cheetah. Eren and Crystal's eyes widened with shock, then I heard a voice and it said, "finally, you absorb enough light for me to talk to you. Now don't say anything, all I need you to do is concentrate on your Yang ability by thinking about the fun times then try wrapping it around your legs to run faster." That was Yang talking and I understood what Yang was saying so I closed my eyes thinking about the time Eren gave me a home I can sleep in. I also enjoy Crystal, Lele, and Erma's company and how they made me feel safe from harm. After thinking about all that I focused on my legs then my legs and hair started glowing up white. Crystal and Eren were speechless, and I got into my running stance then I said, "one more time!" Crystal replied, "alright" summoning her cheetah then Eren started smiling saying, "Ready…Set…Go!" I start dashing and when I look back and the cheetah is getting further and further away then I said, "so this is the power of Yang'' so I turn around and I start running towards the cheetah then the second it attack me I dodged it and every single time I dodge it, the cheetah starts getting slower and slower then I got bored and I absorb it with Corruption Black Hole. Then I ran back to Eren and Crystal. Eren walked to me and said, "You finally unlocked your second ability and I think any power that has positive energy fuels up your Yang power." I replied, "yeah now I know also I want to go one more time now I can run faster than lightning."
Narrator: After Multiple failed attempts Maikeru second power finally awakens but he knows that it won't last long so as Maikeru thinks he now knows what other stuff he needs to improve to fight Eren.
Second Weekday, now I have a lot of stamina from all the failed attempts, and I can use my Yang power to make me run faster than lightning but it wouldn't last long so now I want to increase my combat speed so I can keep up with Eren. and the best person to talk to was Erma. After a few minutes of searching for Erma, I found her outside training. She was punching a big metal block, her arms were all covered in flames, and her hair started to flare up, and every time she hit the big metal block It started to look like tofu jiggling. Erma stopped knowing that I'm watching her. She said, "Hey Maikeru, come over here and look at this." When I walked to her and looked at the metal block my eyes widened, there was a huge dent all over the place. I looked at Erma and asked her, "Can you teach me how to fight just like you? I'm trying to get better at combat. I'm trying to get close to Eren's level to fight him." Erma laughed and said, "sure buddy I'll help you." Then a random voice said, "then let me take you to a perfect place for you to improve your combat." When I looked behind me, I saw Eren and already had a portal open. Eren said, "walk through the portal and also cover yourself in mana." So, Erma and I covered ourselves in mana and then walked through the portal, and the second I stepped through the portal I fell to the ground. The gravity was so dense that I tried to move my body, but my body felt a lot heavier. Eren and Erma walked through the portal without falling, then Eren turned around and said, "are you ready."
Eren sees me struggling to get up from the ground and he said, "Maikeru, I'm going to leave you here for six hours, and if you are not up before the deadline hits, I'm going to leave you here until I feel like checking up on you. Also, in this area time goes by way faster and when it's daytime it is very hot and when it's the night it is very cold. Also, one day here is one hour in our area." I couldn't believe that Eren would do this to me, leaving me here for six hours, that's six days here! So, I struggled, even more, trying to get up. All of this feels insane to me, but I can tell that they're serious about this, then Eren and Erma walked back to the portal leaving me behind. I scream, " Zedros!!! Yang!!! Help me, please!" Zedros came through and said, "oof, you do have the worst of luck but I'll help you. All you have to do is say Shadow Soul." I never thought Zedros would give me a spell out of nowhere, but right now I have no choice but to say it because I'm legit in grave danger so I said, "Shadow Soul!"
Narrator: as Maikeru struggles on getting used to the new world gravity and everything about it, Zedros gives him a Random Spell like see how it would help Maikeru.
Back at the hideout, Eren and Erma are drinking tea. Eren said, "wow it's been three hours already, time does fly by when you hang out with people." Eren looked at Erma seeing her one leg shaking and asked her, "hey what's wrong?" She replied, "what's wrong? You know what's wrong! I'm worried for Maikeru!" Eren puts down his tea then looks at Erma with a serious face and says, "Erma look, the kid needs to get stronger. We cannot baby him anymore; he needs to know that reality will be tough in any situation. Also, I did say I will make him stronger so nothing bad will happen to him in the future." Erma started to calm down because she knew everything that Eren said was from the heart, knowing that Eren cared about Maikeru. Two hours later, Eren says, "one more hour to go back again, time does pass by." Erma looks at Eren's legs seeing that it is going up and down knowing that he is excited to see Maikeru achieving his goal of conquering gravity and his body will feel way lighter. Erma said, "Eren, where are you taking Maikeru for the battle?" Eren replied, "I'm going to take him to a planet that has a huge open ground and there is a cave where there is a two-handle weapon and when I grab it, nothing happens. I start pulling it but it wouldn't budge so I'm going to see if Maikeru can pull it out because the handle is overflowing with mana. One slice with it can slice a whole planet welp from what it says in the book, that is why I want to take him there." Erma understands Eren's plan then after an hour, Eren opens the portal to the area they left Maikeru.
Narrator: After Erma finds out how Eren feels about Maikeru, and knowing why Eren takes Maikeru to an unknown planet. It is finally time to see how strong Maikeru becomes.
Eren smiled and looked at Erma saying, "I have a good feeling about this, I think Maikeru already surpassed you, Erma." Erma doesn't know what Eren is talking about then she walks through the portal and drops to the ground. Her eyes widened with shock trying to figure out where all this pressure was coming from. Then Eren walked through, and he said, "you feel that Erma! That right there is Maikeru energy! I knew he could overcome this trial!" In the distance, I was standing on a hill looking at Eren and Erma and I was happy they came back but also upset because they left me here for six days. I had to do lots of hardcore training and fought a beast monster that is thirty times bigger than me. I looked at Erma, seeing her on the ground. I knew it was my energy pressure, so I decreased it. I'm so glad I learned that technique because I was being targeted by the beast. Eren yelled, "I KNOW YOU ARE AT THE HILL MAIKERU!!" Erma looked up seeing me at the hill and I burst out laughing while running towards them. Right when I was about to say something, Eren said, "less talking more fighting!" I was confused. What did he mean about fighting? Eren looked at both of us knowing we were both confused. He said, "Today! Right here, right now! You two are going to spar! Good luck and also no weapons, it's a hand-to-hand combat match, and please go all out!"
Erma looked at both me and Eren. She then closed her eyes and her hair started to glow. She released her energy. I could feel the heat of her energy and then she said, "Maikeru, my power is called Rising Phoenix. This heat isn't at full capacity yet. Don't hold back on me now!" I started to release more of my energy competing against Erma. I looked at Eren, seeing him jumping up and down laughing. I then started releasing more energy trying to compete against Erma's energy. Eren, all excited, then started the countdown, "3…2…1…FIGHT!" Erma dashed towards me and started doing fighting combinations. Landing at least 78 blows on me, I blasted her away with some of my energy. Erma then aims her hand towards me and yells, "Meteorite Phoenix!" A big flaming blast, bigger than a meteor, comes in charging at me. I then used a corrupted black hole to consume the blast but it was too big to consume it all. The blast landed area damage. The battlefield became an equator. I slowly got up and looked up at Erma, seeing her coming at me with a flaming first shouting, "Phoenix Raging Fist!" I go into a guard stance protecting my face. She then changed her direction towards my gut. A big sonic boom explosion sound effect covers the entire atmosphere. Flames coming out of the equator. She destroyed my shirt with one blow. I then burst out blood from my mouth. Erma got worried. Her energy got weaker. She walks up to me and says, "Maikeru are you ok?" I then pull up with a dark energy burst which then blasts Erma out of the equator. Erma got mad and yelled at me, "MAIKERU WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! I WAS JUST CHECKING UP ON YOU?! I replied with a smirk and said, "less talking more fighting." Erma was getting even madder. She then looked at Eren and Eren said, "less talking more fighting!" As he laughs his ass off on how I pulled that energy burst on her. Erma's energy then grows bigger. My smirk then faded away and I got serious. Erma then shouts, "Want me to fight seriously with you Maikeru! I will fight seriously!" Eren replies, "I said to go all out…" Erma screams at Eren, "SHUT UP YOU DAMN PERV!" Eren got quiet but was still excited to see this fight. Erma's tail started to catch on fire, her eyes turned into a dark mixture of orange and red. She dashed so fast at me to the point where it looked like she teleported in front of me. She started to throw in 5 fast jabs and 1 hook. I blocked the jabs and weaved the hook. Once I weaved the hook, I threw in a punch but then Erma pulled a backward cartwheel and launched me upwards with her flaming tail. As I'm being launched into the sky, I stopped the motion but then Erma immediately threw a punch into my gut. I grabbed her fist that is in my gut. And then pulled a backward ax kick sending her back into the ground. Erma had a hard landing on the ground, expanding the equator even more. I used this time to catch my breath. Looking at Erma seeing her using her powers I then decided it was my turn to attack back. My eyes turned pitch black. I hear Zedros talking to me inside my head. Zedros said, "Back at it again I see. Let's show this fire user who we dark users are." I replied to Zedros, "BET!" As the darkness rushed through my veins, I had full control of myself. Erma shouts at me, "Are you going to float there admiring your progress or are you going to hit me harder!" I then quickly dash behind Erma looking like a teleport and Zedros says in my head, "If they ask, they shall receive it, Maikeru. Now destroy her!"
I hit Erma with a dark roundhouse kick then followed it up with a launching front kick. I then dash teleported above her blasting a dark sphere. Erma then hits the dark sphere. The dark sphere explodes in front of both of us. Smoke made out of darkness blinded Erma. Erma then waved her hand, clearing the smoke. As the smoke clears out, she sees a bunch of dark spheres floating and locked onto her. Erma, surrounded by the dark spheres then shouts, "Bring it on Maikeru! This is what you wanted!" All of the dark spheres then started rushing towards Erma. Erma starts dodging the dark spheres, closing the gap between us. Zedros then shouts in my head, "They're blasting at her at light speed Maikeru! Why aren't they landing a single hit?!" I replied to Zedros, "Don't worry, I know what to do." As Erma got close, I changed the direction of 5 dark spheres coming back towards Erma from Behind. Erma dodges mid-air backward. The 5 dark spheres hit me instead. I started to lose balance, then Erma grabbed both my hands and she started to fly upside down, having her tail beat me into oblivion. As she is hitting me, I can hear her counting her hits. "234, 235, 236, 237…." She then sees that I'm close to losing consciousness. She starts flying back to normal and grabs a hold of me. She then starts flying back to the ground full speed, spinning around and turning us into a big sphere of fire. Erma then shouts, "Grand Atomic Phoenix!" The big flaming sphere then turns into a humongous phoenix. Erma then crashes me back into the ground creating a second equator way bigger than the first one. It was like twenty times the size of the first one. Erma got up and started walking away from my body. I then started screaming, "SIX DAYS! SIX DAYS! SIX DAMN DAYS ON THIS STUPID PLANET! EVERYTHING I TRAINED FOR AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT STUPID MONSTER YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME I WILL NEVER LET ANYONE LOOK DOWN ON ME AGAIN!
