66 Learning New things.

Already inside the Bus I looked outside the window to the ever-moving cityscape and let my mind wander for a bit. I am starting to think these mind-wandering habits of mine are getting out of hand, I guess everyone has different ways of dealing with pressure.

Soon it was already my stop, so I got out of the bus and went back home. The first thing I did when I reached home was watching all those 19 videos with my [Sharingan] active. After watching the videos I made an essay based on each one of them.

After reading my essays with my [Sharingan] I simply burned them and deleted all of those videos without batting an eye. Right now thanks to my [Shringan] I have everything completely engraved in my mind and just waiting to be used. So leaving such precious information arround could only be considered stupid.

But before I jump and start using one of the multitudes of techniques in my memory right now I think it is best if I test it our how to move my [Ki] a little bit first. Liking it or not I just despaireached the [Second Step] and I don't want o to blow my hand again, that was painful enough the first time so I don't want any repeats.

First, I proceed to make a different kind of stretching exercises while I slowly moved my [Ki]. The shitty part is that I am still somehow feeling the after-effects of yesterday so you could easily say that I am not 100% yet, but I can guess this is also a good way to train my [Spirit].

Doing different kind fo stretches I moved my [Ki] while also moving my body, it was extremely awkward at first, incredible different of the moment when I unlocked it, so lost in the action and heat fo the moment that I had barely noticed how awkward and precisely my [Ki] moved, undoubtedly also one of the causes for the severity of the wound on my hand.

Inexperience aside I continued doing my stretches while moving my [Ki] at the same time, my grasp of it was improving slowly, but improving nonetheless. It was a nice feeling, seeing you visibly improve, it is something difficult to describe, but seeing visible improvement only boosted my will to improve even more.

Albeit I have numerous techniques I had copied and could probably use them as well, I did not want to repeat the same mistake twice. Liking it or not control can't be copied, only learned, I can easily copy a control exercise or copy the way someone else moves their [Ki], but that would be useless every person [Ki] is different. If I had to compare it with something it would be like a fingerprint, everyone has a fingerprint, said fingerprint follows some kind of pattern but are still inherently different, thus even in the closest twins there is no fingerprint that is the same.

The same could be said for [Ki], everyone has [Ki Channels], everyone has a [Ki Center], everything is the same for every person, but when you look deep enough at your [Ki] you will be able to notice it's "fingerprint".

After losing myself in tai-chi mixed with stretching exercises I grew a little bit more familiar with moving my [Ki] while in movement, I wasn't an expert by any means seeing as I still do it awkwardly. But progress is progress no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that I am a little bit more familiar with moving my [Ki] while I was in movement, I decided to try using some of my copied [Inner Power Techniques]. I could of course start with a [Soul Crushing Strike] something tells me I wouldn't appreciate the result, so I went for a more tame version of similar techniques the [Fierce Tiger Strike].

But calling the [Fierce Tiger Strike] a [Inner Power Techniques] is kind of stretching it, the [Fierce Tiger Strike] is a Martial Arts Style and way of moving your [Ki], this may not be a powerful strike like the [Soul Crushing Strike] but it still made possible for Hyuk So-Chun the Chundonmoon heir to shine brighter than his peers and I, of course, copied it when I saw him using it at the rooftop.

And the fact that the [Fierce Tiger Strike] Martial Arts Style needs such a heavy [Ki] control is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because while I practice said technique I could likely improve my control of my [Ki] while in movement tremendously, and a curse because such a task would be something so monumental, if I had to compare it is akin to a normal human trying to swim against a heavy tide.

But if I am able to at least the level of Hyuk So-Chun which is already low to begin I would probably have the necessary control to use most of my others [Inner Power Techniques] thus rendering this endeavor something extremely fruitful.

I didn't hesitate with a somewhat awkward start I start doing the motions that I so have copied, my inexperience with said moves and [Ki] movement flooding through and showing how new to this I truly was. But if there is something that I know I am is that I am stubborn, so I didn't stop because of mere awkwardness.

The copied moves of [Fierce Tiger Strike] Martial Arts Style were soon blended together on a butchered version of a Kata, but what is a Kata if not a simply imaginary fight where you repeat your moves until you find a good and seamlessly combination.

I don't exactly need to know how the school originally did the Kata that is pointless to my type of practice right now, this isn't a Karate competition this is just a personal practice session, so just knowing how to do the moves correctly can suffice. And knowing the moves I just need to use then in the way I am most comfortable with, then use them in the form that I am least comfortable with, thus with this attrition I train and improve slowly and knowing that a night is simply to little time to change that much. But I did not fear the inevitable passage of time because it is thanks to it that I've learned so much.
