Chapter 7: Paths of Ki Mastery

In this chapter, a short time skip of about a month brings forth significant progress in Seraphine's training. She dedicates herself to daily meditation, rigorous ki control exercises, and extensive study of human anatomy. Her determination to master the Kaioken technique fuels her unwavering commitment.

After school, Seraphine walks home with her best friend, Lena. They chat animatedly about the upcoming tournament, with Lena sharing her enthusiasm for the weapon-based arts she practices, which involve swords, staffs, and ki-enhanced techniques. Curious, Lena asks Seraphine about the Kaioken technique, prompting Seraphine to reveal its familial significance and its demanding nature. Lena expresses interest in learning it, though Seraphine emphasizes its risks and the patience required.

They part ways, each heading home, and Seraphine returns to her house. In the gym, she reunites with her mother, who holds a small chest containing an old book titled "The Mastery of Ki," authored by Son Gohan. Lyra shares the history of their ancestors, their battles against evil forces on Earth, and the significance of the book. She explains that all knowledge of the Kaioken technique stems from its pages.

With a sense of anticipation, Seraphine's mother unveils the first set of techniques from the book—the ki wave called the Kamehameha. This ancient and powerful technique represents the first step in Seraphine's journey toward ki mastery.
