Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: BUDO

[That sounds interesting] said big brother Arcana.

[At least this weaklings of mine will be able to level up] he added.

The information that the president passed became a hot topic and her quick leveling up was a juicy one.

"I heard president Xui has her own training ground where she practice her spells and her spear skills" whispered a female student with cat like ears and fluffy long tail to her friend which was a siren

"she is too good and cool no wander she is our president". replied the siren with worship in her tone.

[yes I'm amazing, what a magnificent me, praise me more, praise me more dimwit !.

As President Xui Min and her council walked down the hallway, whispers and gossip surrounded them, fueling Xui Min's narcissism. Her eyes shone with self-admiration, her stride was confident.

In the mission hall, the council gathered, their diverse strengths on display. Elsa Amazon, the succubus, wore a purple leather jumpsuit and held a whip. Patrick Clark, the demi-human, wore yellow and red attire and carried a battle axe. Jin Park, the human, wore silver knight armor with the Park clan's sigil. Andrew Maze, the elf, wore a green robe and carried a staff. And Xui Min, the fox kin, wore female warrior gear which looks like that of Wonder Woman.

With their mission selected, they left the hall, leaving the gossiping crowd behind.

They all look happy for their first mission I guess the school head finally allowed them on their suicidal mission in the name of protecting the country and getting stronger.

Meanwhile Leo and Ethan was at the training hall because they couldn't stand big brother Arcana as he kept pestering them to join BUDO.

"Hello, students! I am Akira Saito your instructor for BUDO. I am excited to meet all of you and share the benefits of BUDO training." said the instructor as he introduced himself to the students present at the training hall.

"Listen up, students!" Akira Saito called out, gathering his students around him. "Today, I want to share with you the essence of BUDO. It's not just about mastering techniques or winning matches – it's a way of life."

"BUDO is a journey of self-discovery and growth," he continued. "It's about cultivating your character, courage, and perseverance. It's about developing self-control, respect, and harmony with others."

Akira Saito paused, surveying the room. "You see, BUDO is built on five pillars: technical skills, physical conditioning, mental discipline, spiritual growth, and philosophical understanding."

"Technical skills are just the starting point," he explained. "Physical conditioning will take you further, but mental discipline is what sets true warriors apart. It's about focus, determination, and resilience."

"But BUDO goes beyond the physical and mental," Sensei Tanaka emphasized. "It's about spiritual growth – cultivating your kokoro, your heart and spirit. It's about finding harmony within yourself and with others."

"And finally, there's the philosophical aspect," he added. "Understanding the principles of BUDO – the way, the heart, the energy, the body, and the mind. It's about embracing the journey, not just the destination."

Akira Saito's eyes locked onto his students. "Remember, BUDO is not just about winning or losing – it's about becoming the best version of yourself. It's a lifelong journey, and I'm honored to be your guide." Explained and demonstrated Akira Saito as a true 'Shugyosha'.

The room was filled with a sense of wonder as he delivered a mesmerizing explanation of BUDO, perfectly capturing its essence and intricacies. With each word, he brought the concept to life, seamlessly weaving together theory and practice. His vivid demonstration of the flow of BUDO left everyone in awe, as if the very spirit of the martial art had been embodied before their eyes.
