The next weeks were the most violent of my entire life.
I fought every week and sometimes every five days, it was difficult first as you could see by my two first fights, normally I would get very injured in some shape or the other, sadly this didn't change in future fights, if I don't want to get injured I shouldn't fight in the first place, so the first thing I had to get used to was being injured.
It was difficult getting used to being injured as no living organism enjoys it unless it has special tastes, but that isn't the case with me. At first, I would lose some performance when I was injured, some loss of speed, concentration, and striking power. But the more I fought and the more experience I got, the more I was able to handle it better. It didn't get less painful by any means, my shattered ribs from my previous fight can easily tell you that.
And it was then that I started to notice why [Ripple] is such a cheat, Its positive sun energy healing abilities permits me to have fights that normally would put fighters out of commission for months. And I could have one of those fights every 5 to7 days. IT boosted my learning speed tremendously.
There was one problem I noticed after my third fight. Hesitation, so not this kind of conscious hesitation the Shonen protagonist have to hurt others, but a hesitation a subconscious reluctance to hurt someone, sadly my subconscious isn't exactly controllable by me so I noticed that sometimes I would pull my punches principally when aiming at heads or other more vital parts of my adversary.
Sadly this isn't something that I can actively change just because I wanted to. Thankfully experience is the best way to curb this hesitation, the more I fought, the more I got wounded, the more experience I accumulated the less hesitation I was able to see or feel.
I grew more decisive in both fights and real life. I was sincerely thankful for the positive impact it had on both my fighter persona and my "normal" self. It was quite satisfying to see that fighting brought way more benefits than I was expecting, a very pleasant surprise.
I also didn't stop my training this past month. I know I am close to some perilous times, so any improvement is needed and appreciated. I also discovered some more new things about my [Sharingan] its improvements from two tomoe were quite staggering.
My previous low night vision became a full blow night vision. Now even in the darkness, I could see almost as good as in proper daylight the [Sharingan] can also see various other light spectrums, nothing fancy yet as I am still discovering and training with my new eyes. But the future is very promising.
But maybe my difficulties can be nullified if I had more experience and practice with my eyes, I am relatively new to its full matured form after all. Maybe after some more practice, I will able to see in UV light like those CSI series I watched on TV. It will surely come in handy when investigating something.
Another thing I did was bettering my control of [Ripple], I am pretty far from someone like Joseph that had [Ripple] his whole life but I am improving nicely, sadly it will probably cost me many more years to reach Joseph's level. But I am quite happy with my progress in the ancient martial arts, it will surely make me pretty strong.
Sadly the [Ripple] has some pretty glaring weakness, if my breath is disrupted or I suffer severe blood loss I am just the equivalent of a normal person with some fancy knowledge. That's is just another reason for me to start training my Ki fast, no just for me but for my mother too. She has some time as her disease won't immediately kill her, but I have to get strong or influential enough to be able to cure her soon, the more I wait the more she will suffer.
Thankfully I am going to a High school where I will be able to enter the world of Ki. The great equalizer of nature.
If didn't understand here is an example. A healthy human adult versus a healthy adult tiger, the human, in this case, is whiteout any tools. The adult human is basically certainly dead, the tiger is faster than the human so running is out of the question, the tiger has way greater senses so hiding is out of the question, trying to jump on a river to lose the tiger is also out of the question as the feline can win even better and faster than a normal human, uneven terrain? the tiger can navigate ten times easier and better than any human on uneven terrain. So how can a lone human defeat a tiger? with Ki of course. Ki gave the equalizing force for the sole human fight again nature. Sadly Ki doesn't make you invincible, you can still be easily killed by a bullet or a stab on the throat, maybe even a strike in the right place, you are still human after all.
Now is not the best time to be monologuing, I have to go to my new high school tomorrow, so better prepare everything that I need, and after that, I think I will have some dinner and go to sleep.

I woke up and started getting myself ready for school, taking a bath, breakfast, brushing my teeth, etc. The School isn't that far away, just one bus I and some more minutes walking and I was already here.
I of course was with my characteristic Sunglasses. Thank god I don't have that cliche transfer student moment where I would introduce myself to the class and they would comment on em yadda yadda yadda.
I simply took a seat on the relative back of the class, avoiding the cliche protagonist seat like the plague and focusing on getting a good place where I could get a good view of the class and the teachers.
I simply sat there and waited for the class to fill up. Slowly students started filling the class, some of them looked at me somewhat intrigued by my use of sunglasses.
And there was him, one of the most unimpressive people I've seen in my entire life. The protagonist Shi-Woon, his posture was a bit apprehensive and hunched, and he looked like a total whimp and prime target for bullying. I immediately activated my [Sharingan] and started profiling every person here, principally Shi-Woon, I want to see the difference practicing Ki would make, so having a lot of details on him before he started cultivating could be very beneficial to me when I start on my path.
And then cam the bully, future bully in this case. I first wanted to kill this guy, but as ruthless and the fighting is making me i am no killer, yeah I indeed killed that guy but that was a complete accident, I don't think I have it in me to kill someone who didn't do anything yet.
Yep, as ugly as the bully looked he didn't do anything yet. Besides being a little apprehensive of new people and a new ambient Shi-Woon isn't showing any signs of bullying, heck he looks as healthy as any other student here. And if the manga is to be believed Chang-Ho literally beaten Shi-Woon, but both of them did seem to not even know each other yet.
Before I could think anything more the teacher entered the classroom, she gave me a longer look principally focusing on my sunglasses but if most teachers didn't say anything about Chang-Ho's attitude in the manga I doubt anyone would say anything about my sunglasses.
The teacher started talking and making her introductions, but I discovered something peculiar about her. She is pregnant. And while normal people would be barely able to tell it due to her baggy clothing for someone with the [Sharingan] is easy peasy to notice the signals.
Wait... didn't the series started because a teacher was on maternity leave and Chun-Woo substituted her.*Sigh*, so I still have some time before everything starts, I was worried for nothing.
But while I was thinking by myself I noticed someone looking at me with a very ugly expression, Chang-Ho. Wait... did this dude seriously has chosen the must buff dude of the classroom to bully, is he retarded? No, don't answer the question, I think we all already know the answer.
Next chapter there will be another fight, but that one will be quite special.
