Parkour and Tips.

At that moment, I'm standing in front of my father.

"I'm here dad, why did you call me here?" I asked, I was training after breaking that limiter. I was much stronger, and it was easier to train.

I decided to train now instead of waiting for my body mass to increase, because instead of gaining body mass I will gain muscle mass if I train during my growth.

"I called you here because I'm taking you for a training session" John replied.

"Training?" I asked him, because well I was already training.

"Yes, training" John repeated.

"All right" I said, well since he called me in for training, it must be special training.

"Come on" John said "Are we going out?" I asked, since it is training it should be done in the dojo.

"Yes, this training can't be done here" John explained.

"What are we going to train? Honestly I think I am asking too many questions.

"You'll find out when we get there" John said without showing any annoyance at my questions.

I just nodded and followed him silently to the car.

It wasn't the first time we had gone out in a car, but most of the time he preferred to run to increase our endurance.

So when he took me to the car, I knew that the place where we were going was far away.

On the way, I looked out of the car and started to remember the way, who knows, maybe he will make me come home alone.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time.

His training methods are quite... unique, yes that is the right word unique.

While we were in the car we talked, he asked me how my days have been and I told him that I had broken that limiter.

And he was happy for me, we talked about a lot of things.

An hour later we finally arrive, I look around and after seeing a lot of buildings I determine that we have come to a city, because I'm about to find out.

Getting out of the car before I could ask, John spoke first "Well, kid we came here to train you and you're going to train doing parkour.

"Parkour? What is that?" I asked, not understanding, I had never heard this word before and didn't even know what it meant.

John then explained it to me in as much detail as possible for a few minutes.

"Do you understand?" John asked and I just nodded my head.

"Now that you know what parkour is, you will try it for two hours and then you will show me what you have learned" John said the reason we were here.

And then he left, but not before giving me some money.

So I have to learn to do parkour and become experienced enough for him to approve, that will be difficult.

As much as he explained it to me, I don't know if my ability will help me to do good enough parkour.

I then walked down the street trying to find somewhere to try.

As if hearing my call, a few places started to appear.

Some stone pillars appeared in front of me.

With one push I climbed on top of the first one, and with one jump I was once again on another.

This is quite fun, and not that difficult, I have practiced my balance but it doesn't compare to this.

I looked up at the roof of a building ç, someday I'll get there, but right now I'd better concentrate on learning.

I then jumped from one to the other.

And when I was close to the last one and about to jump, I stopped.

I'm not going to make it, I need to get momentum. There was a good distance, if it wasn't for my ability I would jump and fall, so it's good to pay attention to the things around you.

And especially the next place you're going to jump to, imagine if I was on top of a building and I wasn't paying attention.

I then looked at the other pillars I had jumped from, and I saw that to get enough distance I had to come from the first one.

And I also noticed something that I honestly feel like an idiot for not realizing earlier, the pillars were shaped like stairs, and I honestly breathed a sigh of relief.

For noticing this now and not later in a fight, I have to pay more attention to my surroundings. If someone wanted to kill me he could have done it easily.

What I didn't know was that even if someone wanted to kill me, he couldn't. John was protecting me from the beginning, and now that he saw that I was paying attention to my surroundings and being more space conscious he left me alone.

"Looks like he learned" He whispered to himself before leaving.

Why are these pillars like this? Maybe for people to climb up, I rejected that idea, if it was for people to climb up it would be much lower.

Well, anyway it doesn't matter now, I jumped to the ground spinning forward causing me to lose momentum and fall without getting hurt.

I then took distance and ran to the first pillar, and continued without stopping until I reached the last one and jumped hard. I was almost going straight through, but stepped on the pillar and stopped myself hard.

What a beautiful view, I thought looking at the landscape and noticed that I was breathing heavily and was confused, I was not tired.

But thinking back I realized that I was like this because I pushed myself to my limits.

This was fun, but unfortunately it's over and I'm going to find another place to practice.

(3RD POV.)

If you are asking why Kai doesn't just do this same course again to improve his skills?

Well, as mentioned before he doesn't have an eidetic memory but in comparison he has an insane muscle memory, as long as he does something once he can repeat it with his eyes closed.

So even if he does this parkour again, it won't do any good, so he'd better find somewhere else to practice.

(Kai POV.)

I'd better go down to find another place like this.

But just as I was about to go down I saw something behind me.

Stopping I turned around, what? So this isn't the end?

I asked myself, looking at the new pillars that appeared in front of me.

This just got more fun, I smiled and jumped.

I reached out to grab a pillar and climbed up, then jumped again, this time down, and then jumped on another pillar.

I then jumped onto a tall pillar, but instead of holding on and climbing up I kicked the pillar and threw myself towards another pillar falling perfectly to my feet.

And with one more jump I jumped to another lower pillar, this was the last pillar, but I didn't jump immediately and waited for my body to stop moving.

So I turned around, and I jumped and when I got to the front of the pillar I stepped on the pillar to go up against gravity.

And I managed to get a little higher and when I was about to be separated from the pillar because of gravity, I put all my strength into my legs and kicked the pillar with the soles of my feet, and with that momentum I flew, not literally.

And then I did a backflip, and I landed on my feet.

This was fun, I looked at the place where I had jumped from, watching the waves crashing on the sharp, dangerous rocks.

Ignoring people's shocked eyes I walked quickly past them, looking for a place to do parkour as in this town there was that place.

On the way I jumped over handrails and over stairs, and on the way I found some graffiti that indicated certain places to do parkour.

I then decided to go to the place closest to me and after a while I finally found this place and to my surprise there were already some people practicing.

Two men and two women, but they didn't look like couples, they looked like normal friends.

I then arrived and watched, it was a really good place to practice parkour, a very spacious place and also had certain places to practice going through narrow places.

I then saw those people stopping and watching me, so I decided to talk to them.

"Hey guys" I said, they greeted me, so we introduced the two men being Joe and Andrew, and the women being Sarah and Ariana.

"Let's race" Joe spoke, and then pointed up at a building "Over there".

"Can I join in?" I asked, and they looked at me and accepted, I wasn't big but I looked like I was already a teenager, so they just thought I was a teenager and accepted me to participate in the race

We then got ready "Are you ready?" Ariana asked.

We all nodded "Let's go!

I then started to run, in front of me was a stone bench, so I jumped over it and kept running.

Being at the end because of the stone bench, I started to speed up, and then there was a bigger bench in front of the group.

Getting close to the bench, I jumped up, and stretched my arms and with my legs up, I was getting close to the end of the bench.

I had passed the four of them, and to them it looked like I was going to fall, but before my hands got out of reach I grabbed the edge of the bench, causing the energy of the momentum to increase and throw me forward.

I spun in the air and kept running, the others at least were shocked but that didn't stop them.

It is not the first time they have seen something shocking, and as practitioners of this sport they are ready for anything, if I had fallen they would have come back and helped me.

Not only on my way there were obstacles, on their way too, and incredibly not so incredible since if you think rationally if they accepted to participate in a race then they are confident in their own ability.

I looked at them but kept running until I reached the door to the building, but I didn't go in, I turned right to a wall and jumped and kicked the wall throwing me backwards into the air.

I turned my body around and grabbed a balcony, climbing onto it. I continued to climb the same way.

And after a few minutes I finally arrived, but I wasn't the first to arrive.

The first person to arrive was Sarah, but I didn't mind that I didn't arrive first.

And that's because I didn't arrive first on purpose, if I had arrived first it might have generated jealousy, and if I arrived last they wouldn't have taken me seriously.

I couldn't finish second-to-last either, because it would look like I had lost on purpose.

I could also come in third, but I also have my pride and I didn't want to lose to someone much worse than me.

I approached Sarah and talked to her.

And in just a few minutes the others arrived.

"Wow, you are very fast Kai," Joe said.

The others agreed and we then rested, and talked.

Andrew's cell phone then rang, and he looked quite upset.

"Is it her again?" Joe asked, the others fell silent as if they already knew who he was talking about.

"Who else would it be?" Andrew sighed.

"Who?" I asked, "My girlfriend" Andrew replied.

"I thought you guys were couples" I commented looking at the four people.

"No, I have a girlfriend" Joe said.

"And we are a couple," Sarah said, shaking Ariana's hand and smiling at her.

The other two didn't show any surprise, because well they are friends it would be weirder if they were surprised.

They also didn't seem to care about it, and since I had nothing against it just didn't care about it and spoke to Andrew.

"So, you shouldn't be happy because your girlfriend is texting you?" I asked, I was pretty sure that was a good thing.

"That's not why, it's that she thinks I cheated on her" Andrew sighed.

"So" I said just that.

"So what?" Andrew looked at me and seeing my questioning look understood "No, but a friend of hers liked me and when I turned her down, she told my girlfriend that I had slept with her" Andrew said with a little anger.

Well, who wouldn't be angry, he was accused of cheating on his girlfriend without having done it, it's bound to make you angry.

"What are you going to do now?" I asked.

"I was thinking of going after the other girl so that she would tell the truth in front of my girlfriend" Andrew said, since to him Kai was the same age or a year younger than him.

So to him Kai already understood these things, and probably had a girlfriend.

"I don't think you should do that" I said.

"What do you think I should do?" Andrew asked, looking at me.

"I have a lot of experience with this, and I think that if you do this it will make things more complicated" I said, honestly I don't know where this experience came from, but it was here.

After hearing that I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, everyone was interested, "So what should I do?

"First you need to get rid of this guilt," I said, making him cringe.

"I'm not feeling guilty," he said.

"You don't need to lie, you need to know that you're not to blame in this matter" I said, making him look into my eyes.

"But I kissed her" He said, trying to make himself look guilty.

"Let me ask you, did you kiss her first?" He shook his head in disagreement "Did you push her away when you noticed what was happening".

"Yes, I pushed her away when she kissed me" Andrew replied, finally noticing the truth, he felt guilty for kissing another girl

"It's not your fault" I said, making him finally come to his senses, he looked at me appreciatively.

"But now, I'm not here to rid you of guilt, but since this was the first step it was necessary, so now you know never feel guilty for something you didn't do" I said.

And I went on to explain why he can't feel guilty "If you feel guilty for something you didn't do then you'll end up feeling that it's your fault, and in the end you'll be alone and a traitor.

When I finished I noticed that everyone was looking at me, Andrew was the one who seemed most affected, looking at me with respect.

I finally got back on topic "But like I said, I'm going to teach you how to win your girlfriend back".

"First, you are going to tell your girlfriend the truth, without the kissing part, if you don't care then why should she care" I said, bringing it back to the subject of guilt.

The reason I took away his guilt was because of that, before he cared but now that he is no longer at fault it doesn't matter anymore.

"After you tell her the truth, then she will decide the future of your relationship then you tell her" I stopped.

And I looked at Andrew "Have you said you love her?" After that question Andrew said yes.

And I continued "You say if you want we can break up, but one thing you need to know and the only thing that matters to me is that I love you.

They looked impressed, and the two women looked thrilled.

Nobody noticed one thing, this is a tactic of manipulation, to throw the responsibility of the breakup to the partner, thus making the partner feel guilty, and before the partner can refuse throws a bomb in the partner's face by saying I love you.

But like any tactic there is a flaw, the partner can simply say he wants to break up.

"Since everything is in the hands of the partner, she may say she wants to break up, but even if she wants to continue dating, it will be hard for her to trust you again, unfortunately I can't help you much with that."

I spoke with a smile "But I will try to help you as much as possible."
