Though a few days have passed after the encounter with Kazue. I didn't return to school. Instead, I started doing physical training.
I realized this time, whenever I'm thrown into a situation where I had to fight for my life. I managed to survive all through sheer luck.
Thanks to her dumping a lot of information. It looks like not only will she be back, there will be others like her as well.
[Another 3km to go.]
I had Ryong organize training for me, while I start working on conditioning training.
This was the plan he had for me.
Due to the time frame between the portal where Sab, Trek, and Luck lives, (I'm gonna call it Town 1) and where my original world is are different.
He suggested that I make use of my time there training there instead.
Starting off:
5km Run
100 Push-ups
150 Sit-ups
Skipping rope
Shadow Boxing
Technique run-down
Training with the Tri-Sector Staff
[These are the fundamentals thou would want to last longer 'i a fight.]
So I kick off the start of my training.
Not going to lie, I puked off some of my lunch.
Sab and Trek saw it and laughs.
After the troublesome training portion is done.
It was a technique run down. It basically meant that I'm going to execute all skills and techniques that I had ingrained in me.
As I was still slightly quite familiar with my boxing techniques.
I moved on to my legs to see what I can remember after taking a long hiatus for using them as kicks
So I start swinging my legs In a single flow.
[Left Roundhouse Kick] ---> [Right Roundhouse Kick] ---> [Back Kick] ---> [Crescent Kick] ---> [Sidekicks] ---> [Low Kick] ---> [Question Mark Kick] ---> [Push Kick] ---> [Spinning Hook Kicks] --->[ [Axe Kick]
These are all I can do for now. I'm surprised how it could all lead up to a flow motion to be very honest.

[*Link fails, too many inputs to handle as of now*]
[Hmm, try using a shorter combo.]
"Hm? OK, if you say so."
I launch my kicks again.
[Left Low Kick] ---> [Right Roundhouse Kick] ---> [Crescent Kick] ---> [Back Kick]
[*Link achieved*]
[Impact Kicks Combo 1] Created.
"Woah what's with this game system thingy? Are you trying to use a system or something for my growth?"
[Thou art not wrong, I am trying to implement a way to compose it easier for thy growth.]
[Yet I will be still lacking 'i these expertise.]
"So what does this Combo 1 do."
[It makes it easier for thou to execute these attacks without thinking too much.]
"Seeing how there's a 1 there, there should be more, right?"
[Indeed.]
I started launching the Kicks again, hoping one of the combos I'm doing would merge successfully as a Combo.
After at least 30 minutes of experimenting around with kicks. This was the combo that prompt it.
[Right Roundhouse Kick] ---> [Question Mark Kick] ---> [Spinning Hook Kick] ---> [Axe Kick]
This Combo was trickier due to the Spinning Hook Kick and Axe Kick having to be timed really well or there would be a gap for a counterattack from the opponent.
[*Link Achieved*]
[Trickster's Kick Combo 1]
"Shit, it's a completely new set of combos."
[Forbear complaining, it will help you.]
"Fine."
After learning the two new skills. I took a quick break lying down on the grass patch.
As I was lying down, suddenly, Luck's head appear.
"I wanna kick like you as well. Please teach me."
"Why do you want to learn how to kick, Luck?"
"So that when the bad guys come, I will be able to protect Sab and Trek."
She said while smiling brightly and staring at me.
For a 6-year-old child, for her to say it, kinda touched me. That was pretty cute.
"Alright, in that case, let's teach you some stretches first. Or else your legs will hurt."
I took 10 minutes to teach her the fundamental stretches that kickboxers do.
Surprisingly, the kid was very flexible and even able to do a split with no issue. Even I can't do a complete split yet.
"Did I do well!" She yells as she glows up like a light bulb.
"Yes, you did very well Luck."
"Eh heh heh."
She seems happy.
"How's the training going?"
Sab appears from the side and asks.
"It's ok, I need to train more though or I will not be able to handle both of them, what have you guys been up to when I wasn't around?"
"We have been trying to rebuild our town. But it hasn't really been a good progress. So far, at least we managed to build a home for ourselves. So Trek hunts, while I tend to the farms for food."
"Must be hard."
"It's better than starving and freezing."
"How about this, the next time onwards, every time I come. I would bring some of the cuisine from my world for you to try."
"Alright. Look forward to it."
I lift myself up and asked Ryong for the Tri-Sector Staff.
"Alright back to work."
I started using the staff for training.
Swinging this weapon is not a joke. First of all, the weapon is heavy.
Weighing around 7kg, each section of the staff has a very distinct weight on it. If you exclude the chain the individual staff itself already packs a punch.
As I try swinging the weapon,
*Klunk*
*Tinkth*
Both ends of the staff landed on me, hitting me both in the face and my shin.
I cried in silence holding on to my nose and chin, cursing that weapon.
Thankfully, Luck's not around to hear these curse words.
[Why not use it as a staff first.]
"How do I change it? Didn't that b*tch take out a talisman or something?"
[I doth it.]
The staff glowed in suddenly it became a staff.
Though the design kinda changed, the Tri-Sector Staff was previously Black with Red flame markings. Now that it's a Full Staff, it's a White staff but with Red Flame Marking.
"it's a bit flashy don't you think?"
[I like it.]
"Fine."
I started to familiarize myself with the staff. Thrusting it, stabbing with it swinging with it.
I try remembering my fight with Kazue, seeing how she took me down with the staff.
I follow her Footwork as I close my eyes to follow her footstep. As I swung the Staff and spin it faster. I got more confident striking with it and playing tricks with it.
For some reason, the staff felt oddly comfortable as if I had already done this a lot of time.
As I practiced more, I started to spin the Staff faster and faster. I was also getting cocky as I start trying flashy moves with it.
I slam the staff on the ground but I ricochet back to my face and slam on my face. As I stumbled back and fall, the staff landed on my crotch.
"Making me scream in agony."
Everyone and I meant everyone saw what happened. They burst into laughter and tears. Trek laugh so hard that the water he was drinking, spitted out from his nose.
Ryong laughed too hard that the painting in the mask changed shape and shed a tear while showing the beast in a laughing position.
I lay down with my butt facing up.
"I Hate you all."
[Ryong's POV]
Joke's aside. The way Red adapted to using the staff is unusually fast. 'tis as if he learned to use it beforehand.
Though mine abilities to compose Red is stronger by creating skills and learning 'em. Particularly, 'i his arsenal, there's a skill that I have not granted it to him. He already hast it 'i him all along.
[Mimicry]
the question is, Should'st I say to him about it? Shall it hinder his growth?
Only time shall tell.
