15-One Month Survival (2)

I wasn't able to sleep at all last night. My brain has been working on overdrive, thinking about what I witnessed yesterday.

That wolf's image was still engraved into my brain.

Instead of exploring today, I decided to stay near my base, and practice my lightning ability more.

I realized that I was nowhere near what my abilities should actually be.

I did the same thing I did for the last two days, I caught three fish grilled and ate them. There were no snakes this time.

After I ate breakfast, I started training. I had a better look at how lightning cloak works. I started using lightning cloak, I kept thinking back to how the wolf used his ability.

I decided to train my lightning cloak and push it past it's limits. I wasn't able to improve at all for a few hours. I could feel that what I was doing was wrong.

'*Sigh* I'm getting impatient. I need to calm down'

I started to regulate my breathing as much as I can, but I was still anxious, my heart was beating really hard.

It was a mixture of anger, confusion, excitement, and fear, I knew I had abilities but I wasn't using them at all.

'Now I know why Yujiro put me here, he wants to fight these beasts. That's the only way I'll grow physically and mentally' -Aska thought before he looked at the forest.

'I've been avoiding the forest for so long, always walking around the edges, and avoiding anything big. I saw two of those animals fight, and I've been scared to go back in there. YOU CAN LIE TO YOURSELF AS MUCH AS YOU WANT ASKA…you're scared of this place' Aska shouted at himself while in turmoil, he was so scared, but he wanted to be strong, he wanted to have power like that wolf, he wants to be stronger than he already is, he wants to be much stronger than any of those animals.

'I know I'm being impatient but I can't stay scared for so long' after that somewhat of a mental breakdown, Aska calmed down a bit

"the first time we met and you consider me the predator and you're the prey" Yujiro's words suddenly came to mind. 'He's right, I just got here and I'm considering myself the weakest, I only killed fish, and a few snakes, I haven't fought an actual opponent yet.'

After thinking it over and over, Aska finally decided

'A hunter doesn't wait around like this!' With that Aska picked up the sharp stone and walked towards the forest.

————————

It's been a week since Aska has actively started hunting down the animals in the forest. Currently, Aska is fighting with a bear that has two extra limbs.

Aska jumps to his right, and dodges a vertical slash. He forms a chidori in his right hand and rushes towards the bear. The bear stands on its hind legs and sends a horizontal slash, aska leans forward, letting the slash pass over his head, he slightly tilts to his body, and strikes the bear in the ribs.

The bear let's out a painful growl. There was blood dripping from the bear's side.

Aska puts some distance between them. He pulls out the sharp stone he had, and coats it with lightning, he waits for an opportunity, the bear falls back on all six.

Without hesitation, Aska bolts towards the bear, it tried to fight back, but it's neck already had the stone stuck in it.

The bear wasn't dead yet, it released a series of painful growls, Aska ignores them and rushes towards the bear again. He forms a chidori in both of his hands, the bear was still on all six, stumbling around from the pain of getting stabbed in the neck.

Aska runs from behind the bears, jumps up and lands on top of the bear's back. As a reaction, the bear tries to stand on his hind legs.

Before the bear can completely stand, Aska punches the bear's shoulder with his left hand. After his left hand pierced the bear's shoulder, Aska cancels the chidori in his left. Now his hand is stuck inside the bear's shoulder. He used the hand that was already stuck inside the bear to pull himself for a stronger punch using his right hand. He pierced through the bear's head. With that Aska was able to finally kill the bear.

After Aska killed the bear, he used his stone to cut out the bears claws and took them with him.

It was already sunset when the fight ended. Aska started to walk towards his base.

Aska's clothes were ripped a bit, and soaked with blood from the bear he was also dirty from fighting all day.

He got to his home base, which is different from before. It had a make shift bed made out of big tree leaves, it wasn't the most comfortable, but much better than sleeping on the sand.

After he arrived, he took off his clothes and dived into the water. After washing up with the salty water, he put on his lightning cloak, to dry himself up completely.

He ate some of the pre-made fish he had saved up and drank some coconut water, then slept.

The next morning Aska woke with the sunrise.

He caught some fish like usual, went to his regular spot with the fish to cook them.

On his way there Aska sees smoke coming toward him.

'Finally you decided to come back, I was going to go look for you today' Aska had a malicious smile on his face. He wanted to kill this snake since it's one of the stronger opponents on this island.

Aska threw the fish to the side and grabbed the stone he uses to gut the fish.

Over the last week Aska was training like crazy, everyday pushing himself past his limits, wither it was his quirk, physically, or mentally. So he wasn't scared of the snake like last time. He knew for a fact, he can kill it.

Aska uses lightning cloak, but he doesn't move from his spot.

The smoke kept creeping towards Aska. After the smoke was a few feet away from Aska, it stopped.

'It seems there is a limit to the snake's ability. About 30 feet from the snake's body, is the limit range of the smoke. But is it poisonous or not?'

Unlike before, Aska decides to take a chance and runs straight into the smoke.

The second he entered the smoke, his eyes were useless. He couldn't see anything, but that was fine, his observation haki, was more than enough to handle this.

Inside the smoke, Aska was battling with multiple snakes, none of them seemed to have a quirk, it look like they were just teaming up to take him down.

None of them could hurt Aska, but he didn't let his guard down, because the big one was just watching.

Ten minutes later, and Aska was facing straight at the only snake left. The smoke snake.

Aska clenches his fist, this snake is big, but Aska wasn't intimidated.

he puts a way the sharp stone. 'I've been wanting to try this move, you'll work great as a test subject' - thought Aska while 'looking' at the snake

Aska focuses more lightning into his hands, instead of a chidori, he creates something different. His hands were covered with way more lightning than a regular chidori. The lightning was so condensed that it looked like a bright blue skintight gloves, that covered up to his elbow.

(A/N: Think of luck from black clover)

His fingers looked slightly longer than usual, it looked like claws. Aska didn't waste anymore time and ran towards the snake, it couldn't even react to his speed. By the time the snake reacted it had already been pierced in the head with Aska's hands.

'It seems this can pierce better than the chidori, this move is almost like my arm turns into lighting' Aska was observing the effect of his new move. He only used it on a few trees before, he wanted to know how effective it is against and actual opponent

'But this fight was way to easy, this snake didn't even do anything, it was slow and can only release a smoke screen, it wasn't even poisonous, or at least I don't feel prisoned.

Since the source of the smoke died, the smoke started to get blown away slowly, until there was no more smoke around.

Aska picked up the fish he threw near by, and kept walking towards his cooking spot.

After Aska was done with his breakfast, on his way back, he saw a few seagulls around the snake.

'Oh I forgot to collect my reward'

Aska approached the dead snake's head. He takes out his sharp stone, coats it with lightning, and digs out the snake's fangs.

'Maybe I can sharpen them or something' Aska thought as he carried the fangs back to his base

---------------------

Its been a couple days since Aska killed the smoke snake.

After he used his new move, and realized how strong it is, he started to wonder deeper into the forest.

He detected the teleporting bear once, but he didn't go near it.

'I will kill it, but now I'm just too weak, I need to get a little stronger'

It's been three days since Aska spotted the teleporting bear.

A total of 13 days have passed since he came on this island.

On one of his explorations, he found his next target.

It was a wolf with gray hair, it used a move where it would send sound waves out of its mouth. He saw it kill an ordinary bear with that move.

'Sound waves? This one is strong' Thought Aska.

He didn't confront the sound wolf, since it was already late, and he was exhausted, he decided to hunt it down another day.

Next day Aska did his usual routine. But this time he started to catch more than three fish.

'I won't go hunting today. I need to practice more. I've neglected my magnetism training. I'll focus on that today' Aska decided he'll stay near his base.

Aska sat down and started to imagine the wavelength of magnetism. After sometime, there were a few purple sparks around his hand.

Aska let the purple lightning to slowly crawl up his arm. He covered his entire body with the purple lightning.

He kept doing that for an hour, that was his limit. After he stopped, he noticed the area around his body surrounded by black sand.

'Did I attract iron sand while training?'

Seeing some improvement in his magnetic ability, Aska went back to training.

He kept manipulating the purple lightning around his body. After a four hours of working on his control, he decided to try something.

He started to cover his hand with purple lightning, creating a purple chidori.

'It looks cool as hell, but I'm not sure if it's any better' Aska thought as he looked at the chidori in his right hand.

Aska then decided to compare both, so he channeled lightning into his left hand to form a regular chidori. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't.

'I can use my pale blue lightning, or the purple lightning separately but not together?'

After Aska found out about that he started to meditate more, while focusing on his lightning ability.

He spent the rest of the day working on it, and finally when it was already late at night he was able to channel both types of lightning, one to his right side and the other to the left.

Aska felt exhausted from using his ability all day long, so he went to sleep right away.

The next morning, Aska woke up again with sunrise. He had gotten used to sleeping on sand and tree leaves.

He did his routine.

On his way back from his cooking spot.

'Should I go to the forest and fight, or should I keep training my purple lightning?' Aska was debating himself. Then he remembered yesterday and the progress he's made.

I think I'll keep training for today.

Aska went back to his base, and started to train his purple lightning. He was able to form a blue chidori in his left and a purple chidori in his right. He then started to focus, and a few seconds later, they swapped colors.

'So I can manipulate both at the same time, one on each side of my body'

He spend the next hour or so, getting familiar with switching sides between regular lightning and purple lightning.

After he was satisfied with his initial training, he decided to spread a magnetic field around his body as wide as possible.

Aska started to walk around the beach

'Let's see what kind of interesting things will I attract' Aska thought to himself

Aska attracted A few different things. First of all was black sand. He attracted a lot of it. He also attracted a small piece of scrap metal, almost as big as a pencil. He also found a few coins, and a couple of paper clip.

'It seems that some people came here before. I found nothing interesting, but all of them can be used' Aska put all of them in his pocket, except for the black sand. He decided to drag that behind him while he walks.

Aska started to walk back to his base, but he had to walk slower than usual. Because every time he walked his normal speed, he would out pace the black sand behind him and lose the magnetic control over them.

'This could be a good idea' Aska thought

After he reached his base. Aska started to walk around his base, while the black sand was dragged behind him. He tried to pick up the pace and he kept doing over and over, until he was finally able to walk normal speed with black sand behind him.

'The heavier the object the harder to control, obviously. The more items I try to control the less control I have over each item, and the further the distance the weaker my control is' Aska made a few simple observations about his magnetism.

Aska grabbed a handful of black sand. And started a different kind of control training.

He used his magnetism to cause some of the black sand to float above his hand. After he got the hang of it, started to shape the sand. At first it was simple shapes like sphere, squares.

Then it got a little complex. He started forming pentagons and stars.

Aska looked to his left and saw the other objects he attracted with his magnetism. He stretched his hand and focused on the small pencil shaped scarp metal. A few seconds later, it levitated and moved closer to Aska, till it landed in his hand.

Aska kept working on his magnetism all day, the only time he stopped was to eat, or drink
