24 The Fruits of my Labor's pretty nice. Like Seriously!! (II)

A gathering of blue particles of light manifested in front of him. A man appeared, Jin Mori is 177 cm tall and has an athletic build. He is frequently seen wearing a dark-green sleeping mask. His hair is dark brown, and he has black eyes with bright gold pupils. When he is irritated or excited, the pupil forms a cross that reaches all the way to the edge of the iris. He has a large scar on his forehead that is hidden by his hair.

He usually wears a white T-shirt, red shoes, blue pants, and a jacket that he ties around his waist. He stared straight at Yamato with serious eyes. Then after a blink his expression softened and smiled like a child. "So you wan't to train huh? Don't you already have strong friends around you?"

Yamato scratched his head at his question, "Well if it was me two months ago, I would've nodded my head. Satisfied by my connections with the Kawakami Temple. Accepting my fate as the little brother of the Goddess of War." He paused as he drew in a large breath. "Something changed. Something or someone is threatening the peace of my world. I don't want to put my friends in danger. Nor do I wan't to borrow my sister's power to solve it. If I could, I'll face it myself." He said in a single breath.

Jin Mori turned silent, after a beat he started laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA! I like that answer. No that's the perfect answer!" He stretched his body, "I've heard from A.R. you practice taekwondo right? I won't be using anything else. I'll engrave into your body every single form of Taekwondo. These 60 days will be spent perfecting that."

"Firstly, however... I'll have to see your capabilities for myself." He said as he adopted his stance. "I'm different from the man who came before me. I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. I will not accept anything less that perfect. Prepare yourself Naoe Yamato. I shall teach you... No, engrave to you, Renewal Taekwondo."

Jin Mori dashed and sent a roundhouse kick towards his hed. He narrowly avoided the slow strike, and sent out a kick of his own. Mori blocked with his hand as he stepped back and exchanged several kicks with Yamato. Each time he increased the speed of his strikes to the point that Yamato was forced to use his Near Death Focus.

Yamato leapt up in the air. He readied his stance midair as he extended his legs.

<<Shiku-Sen>>

He preformed a dive kick, however it was instantly avoided by Mori. He turned his body sideways to avoid the follow-up kicks and delivered a roundhouse kick towards Yamato's chin. He was sent flying towards the nearby wall.

"Not bad... I like that move." He said as he leapt up in the air.

<<Jin Mori Original - Blue Dragon Shiku-Sen>>

He preformed a dive kick towards the recovering Yamato. He instantly turned sideways to avoid the kick and the follow-up but insted of a kick Mori used his free leg to latch on to Yamato.

<<Hoe Grab: Dragon Catcher>>

Mori bent down to secure a lower point on his opponent. From there, he reaches up to wrap a leg around Yamato's neck before bouncing up into the air spinning him around wildly. Once they are high enough he dropped Yamato head first into the ground. It was powerful enough to create a small crater in the area.

[YOU DIED]

An all so familiar pop up appeared in Yamato's face as soon as he woke up. He stood up and faced Mori, "That's way too OP! You can copy people's move's by seeing htem once?" Mori raised a finger and shook it. "It's just another variation of Taekwondo. I didn't copy it. I put my own spin on it, Literally." He said while laughing like a child.

"Anyways, I've figured out your strengths and weaknesses. I'll hammer it into you so you don't forget a single thing." He said as he made Yamato stand up. The rest of the day was spent him teaching him the basic forms of Renewal Taekwondo.

The next 20 days were spent with him learning them. After that he was taught every single thing about Taekwondo for the next 20 days without rest. And for the remaining 19 days he spent his time mastering everysingle this he has learned, from Juri to Mori.

During the first 20 days he has also managed to understand how to utilize both his ki and manifest it into an aura.

He converted his vast amounts of prana from his Jindai Kaiki into his Ki giving him the ability to create and manifest sharp projectile aura based attacks.

It went like this...

"Now do Fuhajin! No raise it higher!" Mori said as he sparred with Yamato.

"Now preform Hwechook! No! That's not enough force! Spin rapidly within a central point! Don't move carelessly." He said as he demonstrated towards Yamato.

"Aim for the training dummy! Use Juri Han's special attack!"

<<Kaisen Dankairaku(Convolution Severing Realm Fall)>>

Yamato delivered a barrage of vertical spinning kicks while rising into the air towards the hapless training dummy summoned by Mori. At the peak of this barrage, Yamato performed an axe kick that knocked them down. He then uses his Prana to create a platform to jump on midair to land before his opponent, and followed with a spinning back kick to the exposed back of the falling training dummy. With the foe still jammed on his foot, He finishes by violently slamming the training dummy head-first onto the ground.

Mori nodded his head, "Although you don't know how to use Charyeok, that prana thingy of yours is really useful." He said as he appreciated Yamato's efforts.

Days passed them by quickly as Yamato was slowly becoming more and more strong as moments go further.

Yamato continued on performing all of the moves he learned from them. The bonus skill he received from Juri's bond level helped him greatly this past few months of non stop training.

<<Sakkai Fuhazan(Killing Realm Wind Crushing Slash)>>

Yamato sprang up into the air with a twisting reverse back flip; He kicked the Training dummy multiple times midair and the finishing kick launches a giant ki projectile cutting the training dummy in half.

Mori nodded his head, "Alright to finish it up. We will spend the remaining 5 days sparring. Show me everything you've learned so far! I will not accept anything less than perfect!" He said as he charged towards Yamato.

They sparred endlessly until the remaining time was over. Before anyone noticed the final day has already finished.

[Time's up!]

After hearing the familiar bell Yamato plopped down on the ground. "Goddamn! I'm so tired!" His words made Mori laugh, "HAHAHAHA! Embrace it Yamato! You've done well! This is the fruits of your labors!" He said as he showed both his arms that have turned black and blue.

"Still not enough to take you down though. You've been holding back this whole time right?" Mori laughed, "Yeah... Maybe next time when you've reached greater heights I'l show you." He said making Yamato sigh. "It took me 5 days of straight sparring to even manage to do that and you want me to fight you at your full strength? Give me a break Mori."

Yamato then stood up and Bowed towards Jin Mori. He smiled and did the same. "Congratulations Yamato. You may leave this place knowing that you have become strong enough to protect yourself and your friends. Well... some of them may not need it though."

"Farewell, My friend. May you one day reach your goal." He said as he smiled towards Yamato as he faded into particles of blue light. Yamato smiled, "I hope to see you again, My Friend."

[Quest Completed - Automatically recieved An Asauchi fused with the Hogyoku]

[You have done well Naoe Yamato. This past four months, you have tolled and surpassed your limits. You may return in the real world and reap the benefits of your hard labor.]

"Finally! I had so much things I wanna do!" He said as he raised his hands up in the air.

[Leaving Sealed Simulated Space...]

He was enveloped in a bright white light. He covered his eyes from the flash. As soon as he opened his eyes he was back at the very same spot he disappeared in. Before he could celebrate however an insane amount of pain assaulted his body making him kneel down in pain.

[Use the rejuvination potion quickly.]

He nodded his head as he pressed the prompt and a glass flask filled with green liquid appeared in his hands. He immediately drank it without hesitation and a refreshing feeling spread across his body.

"Damn it, A.R.! You didn't tell me there were side effects!" He said as he glared at the pop up screen.

[I forgot.]

"Bullshit! It's revenge right!? You wanted revenge for me insulting you multiple times!?" He said as he sighed and sat on the grassy slope. "Whatever. I can finally breathe." However as he was resting he noticed a person napping by the slope a few distance away from him. "HUH!? She has been sleeping here while me and Kazuko said those embarassing things!? How did she not wake up?"

He sighed and as soon as he was about to leave the woman opened her eyes. Her eyes are a deep green when opened and she has mid length light blue hair. She is very tall and wore a white-sleeveless shirt under a dark blue vest-corset like outfit. She also wears long tight jeans and black shoes. She was the eldest of the Itagaki siblings. Itagaki Tatsuko.

"Oh! It's Yamato-kun!" She said as she jumped up and hugged him towards her large chest. "Omph!" Yamato was about to speak but he was hugged directly. Yamato gently pushed her away, "Umm, Hello, I see you from time to time, napping here." She nodded her head, I uhh... overheard your name being said by your friends multiple times so I know you."

"Nononono! That doesn't explain why you hugged me all of a sudden." She smiled gently as she closed her eyes, "I think you're cute." She said as she patted him on the head. "Ohh! I'm being healed." He muttered silently.

She then stared at Yamato blankly, "It feels like you've gotten stronger. Did you train?" He opened his eyes wide and blankly nodded his head. She smiled gently and patted him on the head once more. "Good boy!" Yamato closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling, "This feeling... It's not bad at all."

He then waved her goodbye after chatting with her for a bit. "Farewell Tatsuko-san!" She nodded her head as she watched Yamato from a distance. "He's gotten way too strong... Oh well, I'm going back to sleep." She said with a smile as she laid back on the ground.
