Chapter 16: Training 3

Micheal, with a sense of curiosity, asks, "Micheal 2, could you elaborate on the nature of the apocalyptic event that led to the profound devastation in this Abandoned City?"

To respond, Micheal 2 claims, "In basic language, the Destruction was caused solely by you, Micheal."

Shocked and with a tinge of fear, Micheal's eyes widened as he managed to utter, "W-W-What?"

Michael expresses his disbelief by saying, "I find it hard to believe that this is possible. I arrived in this city today and, up until now, I had no knowledge of its existence."

Micheal 2 shuts his eyes and remarks: "You attempt to apply the logic of the Physical Plane to a Realm where such logic is ineffective."

Micheal's eyes widen further upon hearing the words of Micheal 2.

Micheal stutters, "What is your intended meaning?"

Micheal 2 opens his eye and smirks, remarking, "The cause of this destruction lies in the imbalance of your emotions, thoughts, and state of being."

Micheal 2 elaborates by stating: "Destruction, which signifies the lowest state of being, and Peace, which represents the highest state of being."

Michael's eyes widen as he becomes aware of his lowest moments.

Micheal smirks and utters: "Hmmm..."

Michael 2's smile widens, his expression filled with happiness, as he says, "Well, that's good. Shall we commence training for future threats?"

Micheal takes a step forward and exclaims, "Hah, why are we hesitating? Let us proceed."

Micheal 2 smirks and explains, "Prior to starting, it is essential for you to understand that utilizing acquired powers in the Physical Plane is prohibited by the laws governing it. Therefore, you must develop your second body to access Higher Dimensions or Planes of existence for protection. Understand?"

To which Micheal responds, "Heh, I am prepared."

Micheal-2 grins and utters: "Then, let us proceed."

Micheal-2 swiftly snaps his fingers, causing a rapid transformation of the entire landscape.

Michael and Michael-2 observe an expansive open landscape devoid of mountains, with only ground and a clear blue sky.

Micheal-2 raises his head and declares, "This Place is Nameless and It is the most expansive area you could discover. As of this moment, it is officially designated as Training Land, where you will undergo your training."

Micheal then grins and utters: "Humph, Let the training commence."

Micheal-2 miraculously conjures a table of Weapons and instructs, "Choose a weapon of your preference from this assortment."

Micheal proceeds to approach the table of weapons with a slow, astonished gait.

Micheal subsequently selects Kusarigama as his weapon and Micheal-2 opts for the Simple Sword.

Micheal is subsequently transported to the center of Training Land while Micheal-2 is transported to the opposing side of Micheal.

With a puzzled expression, Michael raises an eyebrow and inquires, "What's the reason for us carrying weapons and adopting confrontational postures?"

Which response to offer, Micheal-2 states: "That is precisely our plan, brace yourself."

Once he hears it, Michael gulps nervously.

Micheal assumes a fighting stance.

Michael-2 smirks and remarks, "Humph, Oh, come on, You're going to restrain yourself, Huh, I would suggest, Do not hold back, Give it your all since there's no reason to be concerned because any injuries will heal immediately."

Upon hearing, Micheal's nervousness dissipates instantly and he responds: "If what you say is indeed true, then I shall not restrain myself."

Micheal-2 Smiles And says: "Bring it on."

With that, Micheal twirls his kusarigama and hurls it towards Micheal-2, only to realize his throw went in the wrong direction.

Michael-2 giggles and says, "So, this is your initial encounter, huh?"

Michea-2 proceeds by assuring, "Rest assured, your aim can be rectified."

Michael then becomes furious and sprints towards Michael-2 but ends up crashing onto the ground multiple times due to his tremendous speed.

Michael-2 nervously grins and remarks, "It appears that I neglected to remember that you are a novice in all of this."

Michael gradually rises and exclaims, "Ah, I must acquire even fundamental knowledge before attempting to learn the art of combat. It is truly lamentable, my friend."

Micheal-2 responds, stating, "It's perfectly fine; everyone has been at the starting point before."

Micheal responds: "I guess so."

Micheal rests his eyes, only to reopen them. Micheal says with a serious attitude, "One more go. Come on, don't be shy, and give me one more go."

Micheal-2 Sees serious and immediate confidence in Micheal's voice and, with a deep sigh, asks, "Are you really sure you can do it this time, Micheal?"

Micheal smirks and says, "I am about to destroy you with convenience, My buddy. So avoid underestimating me."

"Humph, you seem so sure of yourself. The fight had better be worth it for this instant confidence." Micheal-2 answers in a somber manner.

"Heh, Alright Bet." Micheal smirks and launches an attack with Kusarigama at Micheal-2 with incredible speed.

Micheal-2 notices Kusarigama approaching him and decides to deflect it with his sword, but he instead dodges the attack.

"You weren't exaggerating that quick confidence, Micheal. But how did you learn to aim precisely in just a few seconds?" Micheal-2 remarks in an astonished tone.

Micheal smirks as he leaps into the air and flips in mid-air, accurately aiming Kusarigama at Micheal-2's face.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Micheal-2 catches the chain just inches from his face and uses it to pull Micheal off balance. Micheal-2 quickly pins his opponent down and grins triumphantly. "Nice try, but you'll have to do better than that to defeat me," he taunts.

"Tsk, Your Good in this, But don't get carried away too quickly." Micheal responses to Micheal-2 with a grin on his face.

"Heh, Nice Tr-" As Micheal-2 states, he rapidly realizes that Micheal is not there. Micheal-2 hears a voice in the back that is undoubtedly Micheal's.

"Tsk. You dang clever kid. You indeed outsmarted me, consequently you deserve some kudos." Micheal-2 speaks in an amazed and annoyed tone. Micheal responds, "Don't worry, I might have a few more schemes up for grabs that you'd never expect."

Micheal-2 gets more annoyed. He gets frustrated that Micheal is making mockery of him, so he tosses his sword at him, but Micheal seamlessly avoids it with a quickstep.

Micheal-2 Is startled and says, "T-That's my style of dodging. H-How did you learn it so quickly?" Micheal becomes proud of himself and responds, "I don't know." Maybe i am Instant Learner."

"I see, That State of Being will then suit you flawlessly Micheal." Micheal-2 states.

Micheal becomes perplexed and questions Micheal-2, "Huh, What do you mean by 'That state of being' would suit me flawlessly?"

To which Micheal-2 responds, "Since you learnt Quickstep with such ease, it simply demonstrates that you are an Immediate Learner. So, if you were to achieve that state of being, you would be able to effortlessly vanquish your opponent."

"..." Micheal remains silent while Micheal-2 speaks it.

"Intresting. Now I want to learn about it so badly." Micheal remarks as he becomes overly excited about acquiring it.

"Exactly, Now this what your gonna learn from now on." Micheal-2 Responds.
