Chapter 6: Lessons of Kaioken

The chapter opens with Seraphine charging her ki, a radiant white aura enveloping her form. She launches herself at her mother, unleashing a flurry of acrobatic and powerful strikes. Lyra gracefully evades each attack with ease, her skill evident.

Suddenly, Seraphine employs a clever trick, causing her mother to slow down momentarily. It's a diversion, and she manages to land a solid punch on Lyra, who catches it with a smile of satisfaction. Lyra's grin widens, proud of her daughter's progress.

She speaks with warmth, "Seraphine, my child, you've passed. It's not always about power; it's also about how you can outsmart your opponent."

Lyra deactivates the force field temporarily and steps away, returning with a multitude of training dolls lined up before them. Her eyes gleam with determination as she prepares to introduce Seraphine to the Kaioken technique.

With her palms together, Lyra yells, "Kaioken!" In a blur of movement, she obliterates all the training dolls with remarkable speed, leaving Seraphine awestruck. She hadn't seen anything like it before.

Seraphine, now more motivated than ever, eagerly inquires about the upcoming lesson. Her mother explains that mastering Kaioken requires not just power but also precise ki control and relaxation of the body. She emphasizes the dangers of the technique, how it accelerates the heart rate and blood flow, enhancing vision, speed, reaction time, and more.

Seraphine, despite the fear that lingers in her eyes, responds with determination, "Yes, I want to learn Kaioken."

Her mother, now serious and resolute, nods approvingly. "Alright then," she says, "it's time to begin your training in the Kaioken technique."
