CHAPTER 16: Eugene's Ki Energy

Zero's Point Of View

It was two days have passed and Eugene gradually improved. "You really worked hard this past days". I complimented her and she smiled. "Thank you, well if I really wanted to become a strong swordsman I'll really need to be doing the training very seriously". She replied and then continued slicing falling leaves. I told her to train her grip in holding her sword as lightly as a feather to improve her swing swiftness. "Would you want to learn breathe technique to control ki energy?". I asked her and she suddenly stopped. "Is it really okay?". She replied in a questioning way. "Yes, because you were rapidly improving on your own". I said confidently. "No you're wrong, it's not on my own, if I haven't met you then I won't know what to do to practice". She disagreed. "And since you knew of that energy my great great grandfather utilizes in battle that no other that the two of you knew then I'll always then consider myself as a failure". She stated so himbly that made me hug her. "Don't consider yourself a failure okay". I said and she nod so obediently. "So what would you teach me then?". She asked me. "So I told you how ki is different from magic did I?". I asked her and she nod. "You said that ki energy came from nature that a User should intake to his or her body to reinforce it". She said rephrasing the lesson. "Then breathing technique is a way to intake ki and let it flow to your system". I explain it to her. "What does that mean?". She asked me again. "its like how would you say it an interaction between the elements, Air when you inhale and exhale, Fire when that air was converted into heat that you'll feel in your abdomen, Water when that heat flows to your nerves throughout your blood circulation and lastly Earth when it reinforces your muscular system, well just watch this to see how it works". I told her and let her watch a scene in my anime watchlist were the protagonist did the process of it. Since, I just take it from the knowledge of watching too many anime.Then, I didn't knew she was finished watching that process but she continued watching it until the episode ended. "So did you learn something?". I asked her. "Yes, I did and I was amazed by that whiny kid at first when he was chased by a demon and fell unconscious but then he was secretly a powerful underdog". She stated to her excited expression. "Then that's good to hear so sit now like what you did in the waterfalls". I ordered her. "Eh! but if I did this aren't I endanger myself to attacks in battle?". She claimed but I flicked at her forehead. "It's not that you will sit that way every now and then, just practice it that way until you can feel it even when you're fighting ". I said as she touch her head. "You meanie, can't you hold your strength a bit that hurt". She said so I kiss her forehead."Oh sorry I didnt mean to make it hurt that much". I said and she looked at me in a embarrassed blushy face. She then started breathimg like those on the anime. It was constant but then she stopped. "Why did you stop?". I asked her with concern. "it feels like there were a bunch of needles poking in my stomach that I felt stung with heat". She replied but I smiled at her. "Just continue that way those needles are a fragment of Ki energies accumulated in your body and since it's your first time feeling them that's natural you'll get used to it". I said as a encouragement to her. So she continued as I say repeating the process. For a span of minutes she remained calm but then she started to grown in pain as sudden flickery lights appeared around her. "Ahhh!!!". She grunted upon being electrocuted by her own. So I immediately held her to stop. "Recovery Healing Magic". I chanted curing all her burnt marks. Then the 3 girls came rushing there because of what happened. "What the heck was that?!". Kitsune says because of what she saw. "Isn't she a magicless? how would that flicker appear from her? then you did really use Recovery Magic". Valerie asked simultaneously that I stoped her. "Please let just take her inside the house first". I said that I immediately take Eugene inside as they followed me after. "So tell us". Merleona said to me so I gave a deep breathe. "I told you about those Ki energies right?". I said that the two nod in agreement but Valerie seems to be clueless. "Ah rigth you're not here when he told us that, apparently its the source of Eugene's Heroic Fallen Ancestor power that enabled him to fight toe to toe with his enemies despite being Magicless". Kitsune summarized for her. "So ehat about it?". She said to me. "Well, the truth is there are different types of them, Enhancer,Assassination, and others like her grandfather's Ki is a Assassination type ehich allows him to erase his presence with his stealth ability". I said to them. "So you're telling us that the flickers earlier was caused by her Ki Energy Type?". Merleona said in confirmation. "Yes apparently Her type was Elemental Transmuter which is a type of Ki with the very least probability of 1 in a billion people to be acquired". I explained to them. "Eh aren't that means the Rarest Type?". Valerie said to me. " Yes it is! to find it here maybe because of lineage of a magicians that passed their genetics that caused her to acquire". I said in disbelief. "But Zero can use Magic and Ki Energy at the same time so what type are you classified?". Merleona asked that made me look at my stats and after I read those I slap my face in surprise. That made them curious. "Status Reveal". I said revealing it to them these:

KI ENERGY USER PROFILE

TITLE: TRINITY GENIUS

-It is given to those who can use three different types of Ki.

KI USER TYPE:

- ENHANCER

- ASSASSINATION

- ELEMENTAL TRANSMUTER

"We'll never ever be so surprised from now and then if it's him we were talking about". Kitsune says that the two agreed. "He is the very definition of Special Case After All".
