Chapter 5, First battle against Mana

*Day16*

Sadashi finishes her morning routine of Taichi and Qiqong before she moves on to her footwork. The foundation of her footwork practice came from the traditional Kagura dance she practiced back home. It was a dance that required a lot of precision to execute. Your arms needed to be at just the right angles at just the right times, not a single misstep allowed or else the whole thing could fall apart. But with her undeveloped muscles all that came out was a set of slightly clumsy footsteps and punches as she beat into a tree.

As punishment for her botched performance she received leg cramp as a result.

*Ding*

Technique Failed

"Expected as much, Getting complete control over my muscles on my first try is impossible." Sadashi said as she massaged her legs.

Maybe if she got used her new body she'd be able to pull it off, but there’s still a huge lapse in her control for her to pull off Kinetic Linking just yet.

There’s only one thing to remedy that, and that is to train her foundation. So when her leg cramps were smoothed over Sadashi restarted her workout routine. Starting off with Buyou and Yoga while being conscious of her surroundings to train her elasticity. After all if she can't perform the Flow step then she needs to strengthen her foundation.

*2 hours later*

Sadashi drops on the ground covered in sweat and breathing hard as she tries to catch her breath. As her muscles scream at her for her mistakes she checks her status gains.

She quickly fixes her posture she began meditating.

+100 chi

*Day 17-18*

Sadashi continues her practice and only stops to recover her strength by meditating.

*Day 19*

Sadashi’s controls over her muscles has improved, so she starts to infuse her chi into her movements increasing the difficulty but also the rewards.

*Day 20*

Five armed imps found Sadashi while she was practicing, poor bastards got buried under her practice tree a few minutes later.

*Day 21*

Sadashi’s movements have gotten better as they slowly became as fluid as water. At first, she just looked like an action scene if you played it in slow motion, now she’s only making a few mistakes every now and then because of the lack of coordination between her arms and legs.

*Day 22*

At the end of her second rep Sadashi heard the system ring.

*Ding*

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Flawless Execution.

[Kagura Dance]

Seeing this Sadashi continues her practice, aiming for the Flawless Execution of every dance she knows.

*Day 23*

 Sadashi found two shadow snakes with the help of her sharpened sense, and with a few well placed chi infused strikes she split them in half and collected their drops. By now she can perform Kagura dance flawlessly and has started to practice her Flow Steps.

*Day 24*

During her practice Sadashi’s feet began to hurt as they were covered in blisters, thinking back on this she remembered that the snake skins could be used as bandages and clothes. Thinking this she wrapped snake skin around her feet, it looked stupid but it got the job done.

*Day 28*

*Ding*

Looking at the fruits of her training Sadashi decides to explore the forest, and starts walking in no direction in particular as she lookes at the ceiling. An hour later Sadashi faces four red wolves and one alpha wolf with a red gem on it is the head.

When Sadashi prepares to attack them she notices the red gem on alpha wolf shines. Noticing that something was off Sadashi took action, immediately using Flow Steps to close the distance between her and the Alpha. a second later a fireball about the size of a basketball hits the tree beside her.

At her approach the Four normal wolfs attack Sadashi blocking her path to the Alpha, who is launching fireballs at her from the back line. Coating her hands in chi she evades first two wolf's attack and knocks it into the path of the Alpha’s incoming fireball.

*boom*

With the sound of the explosion the first wolf dies in a blaze of glory leaving the wolves dazed. Sadashi not wasting this opportunity appears in front of the second wolf, bringing down a heavy chop on its neck breaking it instantly. Right after that she quickly pushes another one into the next fireball coming after her, sending it up in flames leaving only two wolves left.

The Alpha and his last subordinate, with no regard for the prospect of one on one combat they pounce on her. One aiming to lock down on her arm, while the alpha charged up another fireball. Taking a quick step back Sadashi strikes the wolf aiming for her arm, promptly crushing its windpipe with a spear hand before lowering her center of gravity and dodges the incoming blaze.

Now it’s only her and the Alpha.

Sadashi wants to know if her chi can block the mana-based attack,, if it weren't for that she’d have killed it first before dealing with the riff raff. In fist fight it’s always best to take out there supporting fire.

Wolf launches a fireball towards her, and the time has come to see if her chi can defend against it?

*boom*

With the explosion sounding Sadashi was thrown back into a tree, but there wasn’t a scratch on her body. Her chi had protected her from the magic itself but not the force of the explosion. Smiling to herself she immediately stands up and ready to test another one of her burning questions.

Ready for the incoming fireball she tries to deflect the fast moving basket ball sized flames. With a gentle nudge from the back of hand and a little chi the fireball went veering off its intended path.

With her suspicions confirmed she had no further need for the alpha wolf and promptly broke its neck. Pulling out her knife Sadashi started dismantling the wolves, taking their hides and meat before turning to the Alpha and prying out the gem in its forehead.

*Bang*

Snapping out of her own self gratification by the sudden noise, Sadashi jumped back into her guard as she looked at the tree that had fallen over. A three-eyed bull towered over her, with its two flaming horn and red gem bigger than wolf she had just killed it was more than a match for her.The thing is it had a nasty burn mark on the side of its face, probably from the fireball she had deflected earlier.

Seeing its gem is glowing Sadashi quickly prepared to deflect the incoming attack, but as the bull opens the mouth it spews a jet of flame from its throat with a fireball in tow. Quickly switching to evasion Sadashi leaps over the jet of flame as she tries to deflect the incoming fireball, but something unexpected happens.

*Boom*

Sadashi hits the tree behind her tossed aside by the fireball that had went off early, it’s clear to see that the bull had detonated fireball manually. Getting up shakily it was clear to see that she was not unscathed.

"This world getting better and better," Sadashi said with a roguish smile on her face as she wiped the blood off her cheek.
