Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 63 : Tinser, the scarred
Whoosh BAM ,"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN!?!" Apollo, just having been woken up by Noah, looked at fist that whizzed past his head. Apollo jumped out of bed and dashed into an arm bar. Spinning the two of them on the floor, Noah, not having his arm in full control by Apollo starting walked up towards his head on the floor (hitchhikers escape). He got Apollo in a cradle and quickly took back control. Noah started to imbed his forearms onto Apollo's neck but Apollo's chin dug into Noah's arm. Apollo then twisted and turned his body, sliding his butt over Noah's hooks. Apollo slid up and got Noah in a head and arm choke and squeezed ,"STOP." Hiroto stood in the doorway, just now revealing his presence ,"WHAT IN THE HELL IS HAPPENING," Hiroto laughed ,"Midnight training!"
Apollo was angry ,"Isn't sleep important!?! THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID," ,"Yeah, but one night isn't that bad right, I mean you fought Cias for 7 days and nights," he said mischievously. ,"Cias is in the other room, 'training' as well," Hiroto stated…
,"Rough night," Cias asked Apollo at breakfast, Apollo looked over saying ,"Rough night," in agreement. Today was weapons training except for two people ,"Noah, Devan, you guys don't have weapons do you?" Devan said ,"I have my boombox," comically, but Hiroto was intrigued. ,"You say it as if it's a joke but I guarantee you actually use it." ,"There WAS this, I played my music this one time and used the sound waves to fight." Hiroto contemplated ,"I bet you could use that for blunt force as well, like a hammer." Devan had never thought of it, but Hiroto was right.
Then Hiroto pointed at Noah ,"You don't use any weapons, do you? You don't seem like you like them," ,"I don't, they're cheap, I'll fight with my own strength." Noah's face showed disgust in using weapons, but he didn't dislike people using them. He welcomed people using them simply for the fact of them becoming as powerful as possible to give him a challenge. ,"But I do have these," BWOOMF Noah's Spiritual Weaponry released, his gauntlets and grieves. Hiroto thought to himself (This guy is insane… He's great).
After, Hiroto gave them movements to repeat, then put them head to head to yet more sparring. Cias saw Noah in front of him, FWOOMP CHICK BOOM Cias diverted Noah's punch. FWOOMP SWISH CHINK FWAMP CHANK BAM Cias kept diverting the attacks and twirled his spear around to hit him with the butt end of his spear. Cias was on the edge of his seat, but Noah was going relatively easy, surprisingly enough, focusing on technique. Noah realized how strong Apollo was because of techinque and decided to help himself to learning a few things (Not that he didn't know martial arts, he just didn't use them as much because his opponents have been weak until recently).
Apollo fought Devan, he ducked under the boombox FWOOSH. Apollo had never thought of a boombox as a weapon and realized how deadly it was, nonetheless if someone skilled used it. Devan's growth with his weapon would be fast at the beginning and if he learned how to use it correctly, would be lethal. Apollo's eyes opened wide as devan jumped up and spun, the boombox hit 1 BAM 2 BAM 3 BAM, Apollo's bokken got knocked to his side. Devan raised his leg and roundhoused Apollo's jaw KABOOM.
Hiroto, anticipating something crazy like this, smiled. (That kid) he thought (I believe he will achieve perfect flow one day). He believed that given enough time, Devan would have unbelievable combos that were flashy, unpredictable and deadly. Apollo opened his eyes ,"So that's how it is," and he spun off the kick and hit Devan right on his ribs BOOM. (Oof, that was punishing) Hiroto observed, now having a look of 'That's gotta hurt'.
…A snowy breeze flew past a science facility ,"How is it today?" ,"No abnormalities, I mean we're just supposed to watch and 'research the environment' or whatever the fuck that means. Aren't we supposed to be doing 'experiments'." BOOM Right as the man complained a huge explosion came from an iceberg. Pieces of snow and ice went flying everywhere ,"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!?!" ,"WAIT…DO YOU SEE A MAN!!!" ,"WHY WOULD A… my god…" The man in the middle of the anomaly opened his eyes, his scared skin ached, he reached out his hand and called his weapon. FWOOSH BAM BAM BAM BOOOOM A scythe entered the mans hand and all of the debris fell right to the ground around him. The shockwave of the man's weapon returning to its master created a huge silence, now it was just him, floating in the air.
The man angrily screamed and started slicing his skin off ,"AGGGGHHHHH!!!" His regenerated skin came back but still he screamed and sliced away, hoping to get rid of the painful itching his skin craved. He activated Art: Ice Skin to film himself in a layer of highly concentrated ice, this kept his body temperature low, which helped stop him from wanting to rip his skin off. After calming down and breathing in and out, he said ,"I sense the other three, so they're awake too huh."
