18-Martial Arts Basics (1)
We just got back home from Nabu island today.
After the whole thing mom was so clingy to me it was difficult to get some alone time. 'Did I get used to being alone?' Aska thought to himself when he saw how irritated his clingy mom made him.
The only way I can convince her not to sleep in my bed tonight, was to tell her that I want to sleep in a bed after a month of sleeping on sand, and I want to sleep in the bed alone.
She looked sad, but I didn't lie, I really wanted to have my bed all to myself tonight.
After that I went to sleep.
-----------------------
[At an extremely late hour during the night, while everyone was sleeping]
Standing right next to Aska's bed was a muscular figure who stood 6'3 tall who was leaking bloodlust, with a creepy smile on his face.
The person pulls his arm back and sends a powerful punch towards the sleeping Aska.
Aska could feel the bloodlust, he woke up instantly, he was able to react in time. In an instant, his lightning cloak was on, his right hand was wrapped it the skin-tight glove, he aimed straight at his assailant's neck.
Aska's blow was blocked. "Going straight for the kill, are we runt?" Hearing the voice, Aska knew who it was, kicking the man, using him to jump away, Aska landed on the other side of the room.
"What are you doing here?" -Aska
"We haven't finished our training" -Yujiro
"I thought my parents made it clear, they don't want you anywhere near me" -Aska
"Yet, while they shouted at me, you never said anything, and don't give me that 'I was scared bullshit' You know my training method works, and deep down you want to continue" -Yujiro said while smiling.
"Fine. I'll admit that I grew stronger because of your method. But that doesn't mean I want to keep learning from you" - Aska
"Follow me" Yujiro not caring about Aska's words, turned around and faced the window and jumbled out of it.
Aska looked at the open window for a second before he ran after Yujiro.
--------------------------
In the middle of the night, a massive muscular figure was running at an incredible speed, and behind him was a white haired boy wrapped in lightning, both could be seen going towards a mountain outside the city.
After they were in the middle of a forest area on the mountain, Yujiro stopped and looked at Aska.
"Lets do this one more time. We will spar again, show me how much you have improved" - Yujiro as he took a fighting stance.
Aska, who was still in his lightning cloak, willed some purple lightning to his right hand, some black sand started to gather. even though it was the middle of the night, Yujiro could still see the black sand. Using the black sand, Aska made two of his black walls and had them float behind him.
'Even though it will put some strain on me, the best way to defend is to have the shields already formed, and only position them when I need to.' Thought Aska as he got ready for the fight.
"A new trick?" -Yujiro
"Why do you ask? Are you scared of them?" -Aska
Yujiro didn't care about Aska's poor attempt at provoking him.
Both rushed at each other, Aska had his hands in the lightning glove.
Aska was now more used to fighting in the middle of a forest.
Punches were exchanged, this time, Aska was able to punch him once, but he wasn't able to get a good punch so he could only scratch him.
Aska got hit a couple of times from Yujiro, but Aska was able to soften the punch with his black wall, so not much damage was taken.
Aska was able to put some distance between them. He willed a small amount from the black wall hovering next to him to split and come to his right hand. After it did, Aska reshaped the sand into a bullet, aimed at Yujiro.
Yujiro saw what Aska did and rushed at him, not wanting to give him time to finish his move.
Aska pretended to dodge to the left, but just at the last second he jumped towards Yujiro's face, and at pointblank he fires a black bullet.
After the bullet was fired, Aska jumped back, he knew that this is no where near enough to hurt Yujiro.
"It seems your tricks are worth something after all" - Yujiro
"Be careful, my tricks can kill you." - Aska sounded confident, but he was a little intimidated
'I can feel my black sand under his skin, but no matter how hard I try to push it deeper into his head, I can't. His facial muscles are that strong, I can't penetrate them' thought Aska to himself
"It seems you're ready. The fear that was in your eyes is gone, actually it's funny that the current you believes you have a chance at winning." - Yujiro said with a serious face.
As Yujiro got closer to Aska, we can see his face only had a few scratches.
"Now then. lets talk about what martial arts you'll train in" - Yujiro said as he walked closer to Aska.
Aska wasn't intimidated by the red haired man's approach, he just stood straight and looked right into his eyes.
"If you want to be a killer then I'll teach you Krav Maga. But you want to be a hero, so you'll learn something different" - Yujiro
"What is Krav Maga?" - Aska
"Its the most violent martial arts I know, it very good for killing" - Yujiro with a malicious smile on his face.
"If I won't learn that, then what will I learn?" - Aska
"Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it's a martial art that focuses on forcing your opponent to submit. Judo is another martial art I'll teach you. It has three main categories, throwing techniques, grappling techniques, and vital-point strikes. And lastly, I'll teach you a type of martial arts that a friend of mine taught me. Renewal Taekwondo." - Yujiro
"I know of the first two, but what about the third one?" -Aska
"It's not known to a lot of people. That friend I mentioned is the one who created it" - Yujiro
'Called the other guy friend, but Mr. Zenitsu is sword bastard? Is that friend strong or what?' Aska noticed the way Yujiro talked about his 'friend'. Then a smirk came on Aska's face. 'I know this will piss him off, but' "Hey, who's stronger you or your friend?"
Yujiro's hair floated up his bloodlust was released "You know, I can kill you this second and no one will know about it, so don't push your luck"
"hahahaha don't be so made, I just wanted to know" -Aska laughed off the bloodlust, he pretended to be calm but in reality, Aska was about to pass out from the pressure.
"You're getting ahead of yourself, don't try to know more than you can handle" - Yujiro
"ok, ok, I understand. So now what?" -Aska
"Here" Yujiro took out a notebook from his back pocket and threw it to Aska.
"For one year, you will follow this notebook, I wrote down everything you would ever need to do, the main focus is endurance" -Yujiro
"So all I need to do is follow this notebook?" -Aska
"Yes, in there you will see drills you'll do without your quirk. Follow them to the letter, and don't fuck up" -Yujiro
"Alright, that should be easy to follow" -Aska said in an uninterested tone.
"One more thing, here" Yujiro took out another notebook and threw it to Aska
"What's this?" -Aska
"That has an explanation for a way to stimulate your muscles through electric pulses, if you can learn it, it will help you build up muscles faster" -Yujiro
'This would be helpful!' Aska thought to himself.
"Try to come back to Nabu island next summer" After that, Yujiro walked into the woods till Aska couldn't feel him anymore.
Aska ran back home, climbed up the window 'I'll look at the contents of the notebooks tomorrow' Aska then went back to sleep.
