Chapter 8 - TRAINING DUMMIES

Kaijin is staring at the Mighty wall and is terrified 'crap I'm done for, I'm definitely gonna get crushed if I don't think fast, think, Dodge' Kaijin mutters to himself.

"Don't move!!"

Tsyoshi yelled. Kaijin is still a bit overwhelmed but he tried not to move.

"Break this mighty wall" tsyoshi said.

Kaijin is confused as to why he should break the wall " what?" Kaijin confusingly asked as Tsyoshi repeats himself, adding more details " I said break the wall, don't use any pillers, just break it". Kaijin examines the height and thickness of the wall as he thought to himself 'this guy has gone mad, I can't break a wall this size'. Tsuyoshi moves closer to Kaijin saying "go on, punch it" thinking to himself 'he'll be lucky to even crack this wall'.

Kaijin takes a stance preparing his fist to strike the wall "haaaaaaaaaa" kaijin moves towards the wall and strikes it. Tsuyoshi hears a crack. he rushes to look at the wall but there wasn't any crack on it. He looks at kaijin and noticed that the crack he heard was kaijins fist bones being fractured. 'No way, is this guy really this weak?…maybe it's cuz he hasn't been in action or training for 18months' Tsuyoshi mutters to himself. He moves closer . 'How is this wall so hard!…or is it that I'm weak or what. Although I still don't feel anything so that's good' kaijin thought to himself.

Tsuyoshi moves towards him saying "pull out your broken fists" Kaijin pulls out his fist for tsuyoshi to examine. Tsuyoshi discovered something that shocked him 'healing factor?, no. Regeneration?No, it's seems very odd' tsuyoshi said in his mind. Kaijins fist were healed. He looked at kaijin and asked "young man, aren't you in pain?".Kaijin smiles and replied "No, not at all". Tsuyoshi is shocked and asked kaijin "how many pillers do you have ? And what are they?"

"I have 2 pillers, Pyrokinesis and terrakinesis" Kaijin replied. " although the nurse said i obtained another piller which is causing me to partially regenerate". Tsuyoshi is a little bit confused "partially regenerate? I don't understand". Kaijin goes further to explain "well you see, when I regenerate, my nociceptor(pain receptor) doesn't regenerate". Tsuyoshi thinks there's more but he lets it go to focus on the training,

"I get it. But now is for training and not biology lectures" Tsuyoshi replied. He said "you didn't Infuse your hands with aura, that was your biggest mistake, you can't break aura attacks with just ordinary attacks, you should know this by now. Take your stance now" kaijin takes his stance. Ready to destroy the wall, he infuses his fist with celestial aura, he rushes toward the wall and hits it once, the strike was indeed powerful but it wasn't even enough to even crack the wall "I'm not done yet!!" kaijin yells, he kept on striking the wall with his fist swiftly "5...7….11….15….20….23....30" kaijin kept counting the amount of hits he had given the wall but it was not enough, but tsuyoshi was very surprised at kaijins stamina even after he hadn't been in battle for eighteen months "you couldn't even crack it, but I must commend your stamina" Tsuyoshi compliments kaijin.

"You need to reset your aura to offense before you are able to break that wall" he says snapping his fingers and making the mighty wall disappear. He pushes a button which made a dummy appear from below the ground.

"What's that?" Kaijin asked

"It's a training Dummy, you can't kill it with defensive aura, you must use offense to kill it" said tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi rolls up the right sleeve of his kimono, he infused his hands with aura and pointed a finger toward the Dummy. The aura from his finger tip was injected into the dummy causing it to activate. Tsuyoshi turns around to leave as he said to kaijin "I'll be back when you've defeated this dummy, and then we'll see if you can crack the wall, and remember, no pillers" tsuyoshi leaves the training chamber leaving kaijin the training dummy.

Kaijin stares at the so called Dummy, the dummy took a stance. 'What does he mean by offense aura' kaijin thought to himself, he sensed an attack coming from the Dummy, he quickly dodged it, bending his upper body backwards, he noticed a blade on the dummies hands 'I would've die right now if I didn't notice the blades on its hands' Kaijin thought to himself as he does a back flip. He took a stance with his left's arm behind him and his right hand stretched towards the dummy. "Come at me" he said to the dummy. The Dummy charges towards him.

Meanwhile…

Tsuyoshi is at a balcony outside the training room. He goes there every time to get some personal space and fresh air. Nobody knows there's a balcony there. Tsuyoshi leans on the protector as wind were swirling around his hair and kimono. He sensed a familiar aura behind him "I know you're there, you don't have to be sneaky all the time" the familiar figure steps forward and replies

"I wasn't being sneaky…"

" cut the crap, what do you want hayano"he said to hayano. She smiles and walks toward tsuyoshi, she leans to the protector beside him and asks "so what do you think about the kid" Tsuyoshi doesn't even look at her, his eyes were set to the sky as he exhales and replies

"Well he's good so far, just as master Damon said but not very Good. He was able to Dodge my attack even thought the wave of the attack got to him. He's go to speed and stamina but he lacks strength and aura control, he could waste all his aura in defense leaving him with less aura for offense or to even do damage on the enemy

" I see, so what about his unknown pillar, have you noticed any signs of it?" Hayano asked tsuyoshi. He replies "kinda, I'm not sure". "What do you mean you're not sure" hayano asked.

"Well the aura is hard to detect, and he has regenerative abilities" Tsuyoshi says, telling Hayano what he observed. The part about kaijin, a D rank student, regenerating put Hayano in shock as she asked "regenerative abilities? But how?".

"I don't know, but his regenerative abilities are incomplete" "incomplete?" Hayano asked

"Yes,when he regenerates a completely damaged part of his body, he loses his ability to feel any kind of pain in that exact damaged part" Tsuyoshi replied. Hayano rubs her chin as she expresses her opinion on Kaijin's incomplete regeneration "hmm, my guess is that it either has something to do with his unknown pillar or his inability to stabilize and control his aura" Tsuyoshi has that expression when a bulb is lit up above their head "you seen like you know something, spill" Hayano says while leaning close to his shoulder "get lost" tsuyoshi says while moving away from hayano. He turns back and starts walking out of the balcony "where are you going" Hayano asked "I have a student I'm training, so it's obvious I'm going to check if he's done with the dummy. You ask such stupid questions hayano, Get back to your chamber" 'damn he's really angry that I invaded his personal space, classic Tsuyoshi. Oh well I better leave his comfort spot' Hayano thought to herself as she left the balcony for her chamber.

Tsuyoshi is walking to the training to the training chamber as he ruminates 'I wonder if he's alright, could probably be seriously injured'. *POW* he hears a sound coming from the training chamber. He quickly rushed to the Door and opened it.

While opening the Door he saw the training Dummy flying across the room all shattered. He looks at kaijin and ruminates 'this kid, could defeat the Dummy in one day? At my first dummy training it took me a week'. Kaijin looked worn out, he was resting while standing with his palms on his knee. He notices tsuyoshi at the door, lost in his thoughts. "Mr Tsuyoshi!!!!, I'm done with the dummy" he yelled out to Mr tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi smiles and is actually impressed "yes I can see that, you did well" he said.

"Thank you Mr Tsuyoshi" Kaijin replied. 'This guy learnt how to stablize and control his aura in just 6hours? He's a fast learner but…' Tsuyoshi ruminates. "Time to move on to the next stage of today's training" Tsuyoshi says

"Next stage?" Kaijin asked, thinking he would try and break the wall again. Tsuyoshi brings out a remote from his kimono, this remote seemed very familiar to kaijin. He pushes the button and behold, 5 more dummies

"wait, Mr tsuyoshi, I barely finished the first one on time" kaijin asked anxiously

"No, you didn't finish him off on time, you finished him off way too early, l want to be sure of how long it would take you to defeat 5 of these dummies" Tsuyoshi said while infusing five of his fingers with celestial aura. He points his fingers towards the dummies and activated them by feeding them his aura. The dummies are awaken. "Alright kaijin, show me what you've got, and don't die while fighting training dummies, I'll be watching from over there" Tsuyoshi leaves to his promised position so he could watch. Kaijin points at all the Dummies as he yelled "come at me all of you!!!" The dummies attacked kaijin. Will kaijin survive this training? Will he call the quits, who knows.

The dummies

The training dummies were created by master Damon as a 14 year old child. The dummies were created for the purpose of strength acquisition and smooth aura control, however, it needs aura to get started as well as get destroyed, defensive aura strengthens the dummies and offensive aura harms them.

These Dummies have ranking from s rank (second highest rank) to E rank (lowest rank). Kaijin is currently fighting a B rank Dummy, although fighting this Dummy won't make him a B rank student as a whole, it would only make him get the strength of B rank level, so in order to actually become a B rank student, he would have to undergo all the training master Damon had mentioned earlier. But a D rank student fighting 5 B rank dummies is intense, Mr tsuyoshi must have something in mind, I hope Kaijin survives.
