“Okay let’s see what time it is.” Sensei looks at his watch, its a ROLEX? How much does this guy get paid? “Yeah, so it's 12:36. We can do some more training, right Ren?” “Yeah ofcourse!” “Nice so now your job is to… see these target dummies, you have to cut them, with the correct form and good power.” “Ok Sensei!” I swing at the targets, “No wrong form, if you want to prioritize strength and live to see another day, put your left leg back a bit and move your hips, the strength comes from your hips and the form gives better standing on the ground.” I do as Haru says and strike again, this time I actually cut through the dummy a bit. “Nice, now refine the technique, learn to go back to back, be fast, dodge, keep moving and confuse your enemy.” I spend the next 2 hours doing as Sensei says. “Good, now you will be fighting against me. I will turn off my barrier.” “Sensei what.” “Do as I say, I’ll be fine, I am the strongest.” Me and Sensei get into positions, Sensei counts down, I charge at him, he quickly dodges, gets behind me, but my hyper-perception steps in, I dodge his punch, and go for a slash, “Your hyper-perception isn’t as advanced as mine.” He dodged my slash again, and punches me right in the face, “You know Ren, hyper-perception is not always correct.” He punches me in the stomach and I go flying and he lunges toward me, I focus Neutral energy on my ring finger then flick it towards Sensei while yelling “MANJI FLICK!” then when it contacts him it explodes. “SENSEI!” I catch myself on the ground. I ran toward him, “Damn, looks like you got a new technique.” He laughs “Huh? A literal Energy bomb just exploded in your face and you're laughing?” “Yeah, it didn’t hurt that bad. You still have to learn better energy control, but… you win!”
