Raja Kint notices a small garden with two log cabins as the two begin descending. Smelling the flowers causes his body to relax and his mind to become clear. His feet touch the ground and he closes his eyes to immerse in the relaxation.

“You’re one lucky kid. Hold still.” Trelos Mythos places his right hand on Raja Kint’s head.

Raja Kint opens his eyes to take in his surroundings. The flowers were beautifully laid out in lines. The contrasting colors drawing in the eyes of any who looks.

Trelos Mythos removes his hand. “Seems your body is like a… how do I put it? Fake limbo realm. Not only that, your ki seems normal until someone realizes it’s green. Anything you can tell me about your ki?”

“I don’t understand it either.”

Trelos Mythos runs his fingers through his beard. “Not much we can do there. Show me your law.”

Raja Kint holds his right hand out and focuses on creating the star shape he failed at before. Dirt rises up from their feet and begins refining itself into a shape. The star becoming clearer and clearer as he continues to create the star. Raja Kint smiles as the star made of dirt hovers above his hand. Although the shape wasn’t all that clear. Anyone could tell it was a star. After a few seconds the dirt crumbled and fell down. Raja Kint lets out a breath of air from the exertion.

Trelos Mythos slaps Raja Kint’s right hand causing the dirt to fall to the ground. “Damn boy, people in this world would kill you for this soil. Yet here you are playing around with it.” He crouches down to pat the soil down.

“Sorry Master.”

“The least you could’ve done was make an actual star and not some shitty shape. If this is your talent then you’re worse than I thought,” grumbles Trelos Mythos. “Feel free to call me Master Mythos.”

Raja Kint is shocked at his master’s words. Is he serious or is he playing me?

“Catch.” Trelos Mythos tosses over an axe and a map.

Raja Kint reacts immediately to catch the items. Yet the axe still hits his head making him grimace. He was about to say something when he sees his master staring at him as he stands up. Raja Kint softly rubs his forehead as he quietly picks up the axe.

“Your first act as my disciple. Will be to use that map and arrive at Ki Wood Forest. You mustn’t bring back any wood not at least nourished to the limbo realm. When you look at the map you’ll see two red circles. One is for our abode and the other is the forest. I don’t want to see you back here unless it’s with Ki Wood in your hands.”

“I’ve never built a building before. How am I supposed to make one now?”

Trelos Mythos raises an eyebrow. “You see the two log cabins, right?”

Raja Kint nods his head.

“Your senior sister built her log cabin while still in the outer ki realm. And it was her first time ever doing so. Of course, you can check out how our cabins were built. Just don’t go inside mine.”

“I can go inside senior sister’s?”

Trelos Mythos turns around and tends to his plants. Raja Kint stores the two items and walks to his master’s cabin. He places his hands on the cabin and closes his eyes. Releasing ki to get an idea of the shape. As Raja Kint begins understanding how to build a cabin. Trelos Mythos eyes slightly widen and he shoots his head toward Raja Kint. An inquisitive look appearing on his face.

Raja Kint opens his eyes, lowers his arms and thinks for a moment. He then walks to his senior sister’s cabin. Weird is an understatement for this old man. Seeing as how he didn’t respond I won’t enter her cabin. He places his hands on her cabin and closes his eyes.

A few hours have passed since Raja Kint arrived. He’s gone back and forth between the cabins multiple times. He takes out the map and looks it over. A furrow appearing in his brow. This map is shit. He looks at the map a bit longer before putting it away.

“You leaving yet?” asks Master Mythos.

“I’ve never built a cabin before so I need some time.”

Master Mythos directs his right hand. “Keep in mind we’ll be traveling in one year.”

Raja Kint feels wind surging around him as he’s sent flying out of their abode. “Boom.” Raja Kint softly rubs his head with a frown. Surrounding people looking at him funnily. He looks up to where Master Mythos is and begins walking down the steps.

Where Master Mythos resides with his disciples is on one of the mountain peaks of a mountain. Where many experts reside with their disciples. Not far from this mountain reside two more similar structured mountains. In the middle of the mountains is a luxurious palace where the Bisuke family reside.

Raja Kint arrived at the bottom of the steps and looks at the map. He looks up and approaches a random woman. Asking her for how to get to the Ki Wood Forest. The woman explained how to get there in simple terms. He thanks her as he turns his back.

The woman asks, “I’ve never seen such a cute kid around here. Where has little brother come from?”

Raja Kint points to the top of the mountain.

The woman’s eyes widen. “Y-you come from one of the mountain peaks. Ah, you must be a new disciple.” Raja Kint nods, the woman calms down and smiles. “Don’t be a stranger if you see me again.”

Raja Kint agrees as he heads off. Multiple people who overheard the conversation watching him. Raja Kint soon crosses over from Bisuke Capital into Bisuke City. After a few more turns he arrives at the outskirts of the city. He walks up to a desk with a young man.

Raja Kint asks, “How do I enter the Ki Wood Forest?”

The young man responds, “Must be your first time. It’s very simple, pay the entrance fee. Then I’ll hand you a bag to put the wood into. You’ll put all the wood you collect into that bag and then be charged on the wood you take out. If you want to keep our bag you’ll have to pay for that as well.”

“Sheesh, sounds like a robbery.”

The young man winks. “A legal robbery little brother.”

Raja Kint finds out the price and hands over the ki stones. In turn receiving the bag and denying the need for an axe. He walks through an opening to the side and enters the forest. “So dense.” Raja Kint takes a deep breath of ki in and exhales. “It’s truly great to be in a more ki rich environment.”

He walks around in the forest looking at the various trees. “Where’re the limbo realm trees?” As he’s walking he’s touching every tree to sense it’s strength. Deciding he must not be deep enough he ventures further. He also sees many people along the way. One thing he takes notice of is the difficulty to which people are struggling. Is it really that hard to cut down a tree?

As he continues walking he comes across a limbo tree. He notices a few others present who are also chopping wood. Raja Kint sits down and thinks about how to build his cabin. “I can always change it’s shape some other time. And get even stronger wood. Master’s wood definitely isn’t limbo realm. I can’t even make a guess as to how strong it is. Senior Sister’s is definitely limbo realm.” Raja Kint enters a lotus position and closes his eyes.

After some time he opens his eyes. “I have a basic idea now. Lets see about chopping this wood.” The axe appears in his hands as he swings. The axe doesn’t even scratch the tree as Raja Kint narrows his eyes. He uses ki to back up his swing and is about to go again.

A man’s voice sounds, “Little brother, why don’t you go to the trees not at limbo realm. It’ll be easier for you.”

Raja Kint turns around to see a burly man. “I was told to specifially get limbo wood. So I don’t have a choice. Would older brother be willing to teach me a few tricks. This is my first time.”

The man strokes his facial hair with a smirk. “Sure thing. Let’s start with wood chopping basics. Let me see your axe.”

Raja Kint tosses him the axe. The man grabs the axe and examines it. “Not bad.” He tosses it back. “For an outer ki realm the axe makes the chop easier. But, seeing as you need limbo wood it’ll still be difficult nonetheless. Can you use your ki to coat the axe blade?”

Raja Kint uses his ki to cover the axe blade. The man sees the green ki and raises an eyebrow. “This is the first step. You’ll want to put as much ki as possible and make it as sharp as possible.”

“Sharp?”

“You want to cut the tree. So the ki needs to be fashioned into as sharp as possible along the axe’s edge.”

Raja Kint looks at the axe and begins pouring all of his ki and shaping it into a sharp edge. He uses the image of his spear piercing into an enemy to help. The man takes notice that Raja Kint’s sharp edge is more akin to multiple piercing points. Raja Kint looks at the man.

“All right. Now we need a stance. It seems little brother uses something that pierces as your main weapon.”

“A spear.”

“Do you have a technique that attacks from the side.” The man motions a horizontal attack.

“Yes.”

“Great. All you need to do now is focus on a specific point of the tree. You’ll be hitting this point over and over until you’ve cut through.”

Raja Kint nods his head. “Would law help?”

“Depends on the type of law. Put simply a law used for attacking would help.” The man curiously asks, “Can little brother use law?”

Raja Kint looks at a specific point on the tree. “No, just curious.” He raises his axe to the side. Imagining his spear sweep through the tree he swings with all his might.

“Ker-chunk!” The axe sinks halfway through the tree.

“Wow.” The man’s eyes are widen open.

Raja Kint pulls the axe out and prepares to swing again. “Ker-chunk!” The tree falls on its side creating a loud noise. Raja Kint looks toward the man. “How would you recommend cutting this for a log cabin?”

The man awakens from his shock. “I’ll show you.” He points toward where to cut the tree and Raja Kint does as he’s told. With one tree down Raja Kint stores the wood and sits down.

“That tree was really strong. I swung full force and could only cut halfway.”

“Heh, little brother is truly a talent that marvels. I have to ask who is little brother’s master?”

Raja Kint leans against a tree. “Trelos Mythos.” The man’s eyes widen as his mouth opens. Raja Kint closes his eyes for a moment to rest.

“The lesson is over for today. If you’re ever interested in wood chopping you can ask the people at the front desk here about me.” Seeing Raja Kint resting he walks off.

After some resting Raja Kint opens his eyes and searches for his next tree with many, “Ker-chunks!” Sounding his path through the forest.
