'training'

After resting for 15 minutes and some double stuff Oreos, Mayi and I were ready to continue the par vs mum.

This time mum traced a circle of 1 meter diameter and said "I won't move from this circle if you can push me outside is your win".

"Mayi, I will start attacking from the front, you from her back" I commanded.

Mum was standing inside her circle, she was barehanded without any trace of any kind of sword. We positioned, 10 meters from mum, Mayi at mum's back.

We charged at the same time, arriving together at mum I slashed at her while Mayi punched at her back.

Mum simple rotated 90º and extended both her arms catching my sword and Mayi's punch. Both of us quickly reacted, even with being caught by mum we both kicked at her.

Mum ,while keeping holding us, jumped evading our attacks, causing both of our kicks to hit the other. Then mum extended her legs kicking both of us at the chest throwing us to the ground.

I recuperated my balance and stood up. I couldn't help but flinch a little from the pain. Mum attack was a light push, the problem being Mayi's kick, a lot stronger than mine.

Mum was looking at me with a sneer at her face.

"Mayi tactic 8!" I shouted, Mayi came next to me.

I banished my sword spirit and I and Mayi run towards mum "♪Wonder if I gave a White Fudge Oreo♪". 2 white chocolate covered Oreos appeared at my left hand, I ate it and I gave the other one to Mayi who also ate it. Both of us started to glow with a white light.

Then I invoked my sword again I activated all my ring skills, with four shining ring and a brown metallic light. Just as we are 3 meters from mum I stopped positioned in a throwing position and threw my sword to her like if being a javelin.

Mum easily diverted with a light tap of her right hand.

At the same I took Mayi hand pushing her towards me and kissing her. Both of our glows intensified and our spirits fused. From us a 10 meters long brown ant was manifested surrounded by a white glow.

The ant charged towards mum. "Oh, a spirit fusion. I puny little trick. Too slow! Too weak! Too shallow!" Mum opened her right hand that became red. Like using a sword, mum slashed toward us with her hand.

Just as she was about to came in contact with the ant, we broke the fusion, the ant dissipating leaving Mayi and I at both sides of mum slash. Dodging mum's attack, that passed between us.

I invoked my sword and pierced toward her right shoulder while Mayi punched to her left. Mum right hand was still with her slash position so she couldn't move it yet. With her left arm she blocked Mayi attack.

My attack connected to her shoulder, but even with all my skills activated and my intent is was like hitting a solid wall, I couldn't even push her 1 mm.

Mum then holding only with her left leg, her right leg shot towards me, trying to kick me. This time her foot having a red color (Fuck! Mum doesn't like tricks in battles. She is enough angry to use intent to attack me. This gonna hurt).

Without time to use my right arm and sword. I moved my left arm to try to block lowering the damage. I concentrated all my power and spirit energy in my left arm.

At this moment without knowing how I even unconsciously put sword intent in there. Some very bright white light shined from my left arm.

Mum kick connected to my shining arm I was shot more than 20 meter away crashing to a nearly rock and falling to the ground.

Even with the crash the damage I received was less than what I expected. Lying down I observed both of my hand. The right holding my Nine Treasured Glazed Tile Sword like normal, the strange was that in my left hand I was holding a completely white sword.

Except the pure white color it was a very crude sword like any cheap iron sword made by a random smith. But from it I could sense my intent stronger, at least 50% more!

"It seems it's your win" mum said. Her left foot steeping on the line.

"Even with this win don't be to conceited. I was pushed from my own power not yours. From your fight I can say that your teamwork is good, how it could be expected from two people with fusion compatibility.

Individually, I can say that even though Mayi doesn't have any spirit skill ability, she makes up for it with her strength and endurance. Her instinct is also good.

For you Bai, your spirit power, strength" she glared at me "and tricky nature, improved. Like it can be expected when growing. However, I must say that I'm a little disappointed, you swordsmanship didn't improved a lot. I expected from you to at least project your intent in no sword things.

For your win, you only win because I didn't expect you to have a external spirit bone, even less one that improve sword intent. I unconsciously used to much strength to break your improved defense. So I need to quickly weaken my attack, Mayi took advantage and kicked my support leg pushing me a little"

I looked at the white sword and asked "Is this sword a external spirit bone?".

Mum nodded "Yeah, a compatible one. It seems that it improve your intent. If it has more functions, I don't know about it. For your unacknowledged of it, external spirit bones sometime hide inside spirit rings or maybe simple you ate it and was fused with you while digesting"

"What was the new cookie that you used?" dad asked approaching.

I lifted my left hand, an Oreo appeared surrounded by 3 rings, black, purple and black "Is my third ability White Chocolate Dragon Force. It increase 40% the effect of the first skill used in the next 10 second after eating. It can last 4 min and I can create 4. Without any reverse effect."

Dad nodded "Have 4 boosted attacks is good enough, specially the no negative effect part. For your new spirit bone to be a external one, it seems your very lucky to gain the second most sought thing for spirit master only less precious than a 100.000 years ring. Try to not use it very openly, or at least that it doesn't seem a spirit bone" I nodded.

I tried to unsummon the white sword. It entered my body from my left wrist, quickly without any sign to be there before. I tried to invoked again, from my wrist exited the sword like being a dislocated bone, when fully outside was resting at my left hand. Trust be told, it was a little creepy. I sighed "Now I would need to learn how to fight with two swords"

"We only have 1 month so let's continue our training. In this month I expect Bai to learn how to use a domain, at least activate it one time" said mum.

"The first thing to obtained a sword type domain is the comprehension, but as I detect you at that realm, we can cross this part that it's the most difficult to achieve, external advice not helping. For the second you need to create intent with parts of your body, it will be weaker than with a sword but it will make you stronger" She grinned "As you have a defensive intent the best way will be trying to stop my blows".

She charged at me and with an incredible speed impossible for me to react started striking me. It wasn't very powerful but repeatedly attacks at the same places I accumulated damage "You must protect with intent the parts that I hit, I will always attack the same places" she said with an evil smile.

I without any mean to defend I tried to use intent at the areas that she attacked without any result yet. "How can you beat so much your cute little boy?" I shouted.

Mum smiled at me with a kind smile that seems to radiate like the sun "This is for your own good".

I looked at dad pleading. Dad resigned "You know how your mother is. In this state she won't stop. Just endure. Good luck!" he said leaving the grounds towards the mansion.

After 1 hour of beating, I run out of any kind of strength that I couldn't move even a finger. Even with all my Oreos spent. Mum seemed happy without any stress.

Mum then turned to a completely scared Mayi, that was observing completely immobile my beating from the side "Mayi, your very strong with a good defense. But good is not perfect. I will try to break it, try to improve it, please?" said mum evilly smiling.

Mayi flinched. When mum approached her, Mayi tried to hit mum. But is was for nothing, the difference in raw attributes was so great that she played with Mayi.

After 45 min Mayi joined me completely exhausted "Your mum is a demon!" she said tired.

Mum listening Mayi came toward us with a happy smile "We finished from today. Good work!" she said "As it was the first day it wasn't too intense, so next day will be harder. Be prepared!" mum left us laying on the ground.

Mayi looked at me with tears in her eyes "I don't like your mum, Bai. Buaaa!" said crying.
