Hey guys I had a question,I just checked the entire materia database online and found out there wasn't any tame materia! So considering that I decided that original materia will hold a different color,so please give me a color and I'll choose the one that feels just right.
Also is the pacing good? I wanted to make sure I didn't rush things too fast.
I try to keep every chapter in at least 4-6(maybe 8) parts to keep a pace im happy working with.
Also considering the dungeon is showing scrolls of various martial artists and swordsmen,I want to also include magicians,so who should I start shirou with considering he's still a child?
(Comment magic teacher here)
But enough questions! Onto the chapter!
————————————————————
(Safe zone training room)
"You really didn't hold back did you?"
I was trembling all over, his punch not only made me fall on my ass but it also made me fly across the room itself,and he was just standing there without a care!
Slowly I got up hand I was still trembling,but I didn't care I rushed in using all my momentum to throw a kick at Baki's neck.
*fwoosh*
I see a punch being thrown my way,but I also could see his leg tensing,he was going to throw a kick using his punch as a diversion.
(Adamantine kata:indestructible!)
*thwap*
As the kick connected with my side I clenched all my muscles the moment of impact.
"Oh? That's new." I hear Baki comment as I slid back from his strike before I disappear from his sight.
(Flame kata: flash fire!)
I moved from right in his line of sight and positioned myself behind him on order to throw a kick at the side of his head.
*fwip* *boom*
Suddenly I was thrown back onto the ground,I thought I saw Baki grab my leg mid swing and then throw the flow of power onto the ground.
"Alright that's enough." Baki says before taking a seat on the ground,"you have about the same strength I had when I was…I don't know about 13,you did throw a few surprises my way,but compared to my dad you're strikes are a bit lacking." He critiqued before doing the same move set I used against him.
As I watched him I see him produce a small shockwave with the attempt at ironbreaker I did but his felt more…powerful and with more speed behind it.
"These moves may be powerful,but your body is still a child." He says before looking right at me,"listen to what your body needs and provide,I always pushed myself to surpass my dad,which meant I always looked for a move that will surprise even him." He says before explaining how he used a cockroach as inspiration for a fast moving tackle.
As I listened to how he trained it made me wonder why do I keep trying to fight,what is my way of fighting?
He looks at me before smiling,"so…it looks like you have an idea of your own way of fighting,so tell me…what is your style?" He asks before standing.
"My style…is to protect those I care about…and survive!" I say to him before seeing him nod and disappear back into the scroll.
Taking a few breaths I take a seat and sip some water,"Raphael,please show me any improvements I've made during this training."
[you have improved the following]
Retsu style lvl8 ——>lvl 9
Niko style lvl3——>lvl 4
*new* Baki style lvl5
As I look at the improvements I wondered how I continue Baki's style,"hey Raphael show would I go about training Baki style?"
[you train the Baki style by shadow boxing opponents and making new moves based on various teachers from either animals or people.]
Hearing this I think about how I can make each style my own.
Slapping my face I get to work.
(5 days later)
I was standing there bruised as I face down my shadow boxer version of Baki,I started rushing towards him getting a punch thrown in the process that connects.
As the impact of his punch spreads I relax my body fully while I backflip and countering with a relaxed kick at his neck as I reached the first contact with my shadow Baki's skin I tense every muscle in my leg making the relaxed strike suddenly gain extreme power and momentum.
(Emiya style:eclipse breaker!)
*bang*
The strike creating the sound of a gun going off from the speed of the strike,shadow Baki staggers before collapsing onto the ground disappearing.
Getting up I use cure healing my wounds,smiling at my first ever technique.
Glynda who was watching walked over with a rag and some water,"so what do you call this technique?"
Still smiling I take a sip of water while wiping away the sweat off my face before taking a seat near the tree in the room.
"It's called eclipse breaker. It uses the moment of impact from my opponent's strike and moves it through my relaxed body before I tense the muscles in my body part multiplying the power and speed three fold." I explain as I remember how kaioh kaku was able to absorb Yujiro's punches and come out unscathed.
Then remembering ohma's ironbreaker technique,I tried for days making the two opposing techniques work in tandem with each other leading to the idea of taking my opponents attack and using the power with my own creating a devastating counter.
"So did you finish the dagger and sword?" I ask Glynda noticing the cloth in her arms.
"Indeed they are,but why not stick to only one weapon?" She asked with concern as she knows that using two weapons is not a good idea when fighting.
"I'm going to use the sword for defense while I use the dagger as my offense,or that's the idea." I say to her as I get up and begin testing the blades to get a feel for them.
"Oh yeah,these are good! So want to go check out the first floor?" I ask Glynda who was observing my movements as if analyzing where I can improve.
"Yes…doing so will help you improve and give you combat experience." She says before suggesting we both get some rest tomorrow.
And like that we go to sleep.

(Emiya style:eclipse breaker)
The best use of both tension and relaxation the user relaxes their body on impact carrying the flow of power through their body before being used in the tensing of users own muscles creating a much more powerful strike.
Utilizing both shaori and ironbreaker can this technique be used.
————————————————————-
Well folks here is shirou's very own technique,I tried my best explaining it,but long story short he absorbs the power of the attack them redirects it with his own attack.
But besides that I hope you all enjoy the chapter,this was a way to help shirou make the styles he's learned his own,hence emiya style.
And with that I'll see you next week,peace😁✌️
