The time has come

It was all history. Now we return to the present time. The gods managed to create new people, less perfect and more limited. Koma-an is a successful businessman and entrepreneur, and he is also a loving four-hundred-year-old father to his beloved son, Shiraku Teriki. He himself is a handsome man, almost everything like his father, except for his hair - it's black. Koma-an always tried not to mention his past, not to talk about it and generally forget about the existence of energy as such, although he understood that there were others like him, cursed with divine energy, so there was no getting away from it. He just doesn't want to drag his son into this, expose him to cruelty and danger. And although he seemed to have succeeded, the past still responded to him, and not just anyhow, but immediately by the fact that his son began to show features of divine energy. This is how he learned that the essence of energy is inherited.

Shiraku, living an ordinary human life, not suspecting anything, walked home. When suddenly, street bandits attacked. Everything was extremely simple and obvious. They demanded money. But Shiraku, either from panic or from a rush of adrenaline, decided to attack the guys with guns. At the same moment, his first blow caused one of the bandits to fly unnaturally. He felt such strength in his hands that he single-handedly defeated this gang. After a slight shock to himself, he thought:

- Should I tell my father about this? Yes, I think that's a good idea.

After which, returning home, he told his father about this situation.

- Is energy really inherited? - he thought. - Yes, it can't be, it just can't be.- So what was it? - Shiraku asked.

Koma-an thought that the best solution would be to prepare him, since he had now revealed the essence of energy.

- It was energy. Divine energy. - he said.

- What? I didn't understand something.

- Okay, let me explain everything in more detail.

Koma-an spoke about the nature of energy, about the abilities that he read in the manuscripts of the Haven, about those terrible events that happened four hundred years ago, and even about his energy.

- A lot of information. Somehow I don't understand everything. This is all clear about genocide, but about energy... - said Shiraku.

- Okay, then look...

Koma-an began to concentrate energy, causing purple lightning to appear. Shiraku was simply shocked, for the second time that day.

- Let's go out into the forest, there I will teach you everything. - Koma-an said, suddenly interrupting the whole performance.

- Seriously?! Can I do this too?

- You can do something like that...

And so they came into the thicket of the forest. Not a soul. Very remote area, so the chance of detection is minimal. Here Koma-an showed his full power of energy in all its glory. The ground shook even though he was showing the most basic function of energy. Then he suddenly interrupted again and said:

- Now you.

- What? I? How can I do this? - Shiraku said, perplexed, picking up his jaw from the floor.

- It's easy. Imagine that your heart is your support and the point of origin of energy. Then direct this energy, like a stream, to any part of the body.

- Stop, wait, it's like you didn't focus your energy in parts of your body.

- I did not concentrate the energy, but scattered it throughout the body. I'll teach this later.Now come on, concentrate, be steady like a calm sea.

Shiraku did it surprisingly the first time.

-You have yellow energy, the energy of patience. You concentrated it strongly, so the color is noticeable.

After which Koma-an, like the most exemplary father, hit his son in the stomach.

- Why are you...

- This is your ability. Now hit that tree over there. - Koma-an said, interrupting.

He struck, and exactly what happened in that case with the bandits happened. Suddenly he remembered that the bandits still managed to beat him then, which is why that impulse was so powerful.

- Well done. Now let's move on to dispersion. Come on, start...

But Koma-an was not allowed to finish. He felt a rather strong presence of energy.

- Looks like there's someone here. - Koma-an said quietly. - Your training has turned to practice. Sorry, I won't be able to finish your workout. Prepare for battle.

Shiraku remained perplexed, but took a fighting stance.

Suddenly, from the depths of the forest, a man jumped very high and in an instant, flying, pounced on Koma-an.
