Configuration

" Hey don't laugh! How the hell do you expect me to stop dirt from hitting me with simply an aura!? "

Shu yelled as Fu simply continued to laugh while the boy cleaned away the dirt that his clothing gathered

" Who told you you had to stop it with an aura? I don't remember saying that "

Fu said, slowly ending his laughter as he cleaned away some tears from his eyes, letting out a few more chuckles as he thought about how terribly Shu failed

" Then how am I supposed to do it, huh!? Cause you didn't give me any instructions, remember!?!? "

Shu screamed, making Fu frown as he covered his ears getting tired of the boy's yelling

"Fine then, I'll give you a demonstration, but for the record, back in my day, when we trained with master Yorujo he didn't give us any clues, he simply dropped us an in environment and we had to- "

Fu said, as he raised his hand about to end his sentence but was interrupted by Shu

" Okay I don't care, just teach me! "

The boy yelled, desperate to become stronger as Fu simply sighed, whilst the arm he had risen up began to glow a neon purple, and that glow slowly separated itself from his arm, beginning to spin in the air before transforming into a transparent purple blanket

" Woah! How can I do that!? "

Shu questioned as he grabbed onto Fu's shirt, making the man chuckle a bit as he moved his index finger to a side almost as if giving the blanket orders.

The blanket began to spin as it did before transforming, and once it stopped its shape changed, it was now a spear, which Fu grabbed, swinging it around a bit before smirking

" I'm sure Amada taught you about the levels of control, right? Well this is what you call configuration "

Fu explained as he squeezed the spear, slowly cracking it before making it explode into small purple particles, leaving nothing but his clutched hand

" This is the level right after discern, which, by the looks of it, you have completely mastered "

Fu added as he slowly turned to look at the boy, who had a look of amazement on his face, almost as if telling the man without the need of words that the presentation was 'cool' but his expression soon changed into a more curious one as he processed what the man said last

" Mastered? If I have it mastered then why can't I sense your- "

The boy couldn't finish as he was kicked into another hole

" When the fuck was this hole made!? "

Shu yelled as he fell down, roughly crashing against the deep ground which was the hole

" Well I made it just a second ago, enjoy! "

Fu relied, yelling into the hole so that the boy could hear before kicking in all the dirt, which was blocked off by the kid's aura yet again

" Why didn't you warn me!? I'm out of energy I quite literally only had a few minutes to recover!! "

He yelled as he squeezed out almost every inch of his useful energy, clutching his hands into fists, and curling his toes up to flex all the muscles on both his legs and arms.

" Sounds like a you problem. Anyway, Ima take another nap, you figure out how to move up the levels "

Fu replied as he patted his lap, then his chest before sitting on the chair he brought earlier, falling asleep the moment he did

" What!? But you didn't even teach me anything! You just showed me how it looked! Ugh! That bastard! "

Shu yelled, continuing to forcefully and painfully push his energy out of his fiber

" Okay Shu, focus, focus! "

He whispered to himself, getting more irritated as he imagined Fu napping whilst he suffered underground, giving him a motivational push to pull out more energy, of course, it didn't really do much to help him improve, he was still doing what he did earlier.

" Fuck, if I don't figure out a way, I'll end up like last time, come on! "

He yelled, gritting his teeth whilst squinting his eyes

" Shape it... I have to shape it! "

He screamed again, as he closed his eyes shut, twisting his lips up, showing that was forcing himself to think not only with the flex of his muscles but also his facial expression.

" Think of a flat surface..a flat surface "

Shu said to himself, repeating that last sentence almost endlessly as the end of his aura began to change, becoming flat such like the words he enchanted.

Just like a roof would hold out the rain, his aura stopped the dirt, letting it gather at its peak, the shape of his aura did look odd, with a fiery body but a flat head, of course, Shu could care less, he was too focused on forcing his energy into shape

" A flat surface!!! "

He yelled, screaming one last time as he raised his arms up in the air, his eyes closed and his mouth wide open, panting as the air was now harder to inhale.

He slowly began to look up, and found that his aura was no longer there but instead there was a flat surface right above him, blocking away the dirt that Fu pushed into the hole.

" Yes!! I did it! Yes!! "

He yelled, jumping around in that small space out of excitement not realizing the mistake it was to do so.

After a few seconds of celebrating he jumped ' a little too high ' up, hitting the surface he had made with his head, cracking it, allowing the dirt to fall all over his body, and of course just like before, Fu was there to laugh at him.

" It's not funny!! Especially knowing that I have to clean my clothes because of you! "

Shu yelled, causing the man to laugh even louder, pointing at him as if telling someone to look at how funny it was to see dirt all over Shu's body
