Gate Of The Forest.
Cyril walked up to Drake and Jack and took them to his area. As they saw the broken trees they were astounded. "What did you do here to make such a mess? Ride a bull? Or were you fighting a tiger?" Drake asked as he gazed around him "Nothing much just training. Now I will tell you the Primate Body Training Technique..... . That's it now I would suggest getting your Busoshoku haki to a high enough level and then beginning no that I've explained I will be doing my own training." Cyril explained and then walked away.
"Suna Suna no mi, not the best but not the worst either, I can make this work though." Cyril mumbled as he walked away from Drake and Jack.
"So the benefits of the Suna Suna no mi. First things first it's a logia, it can produce and control sand and it can absorb water. Hmm now the options are either to use my sand like Gaara or use it in a more diverse way. Mhmm which one should I do although Gaara is like a hermit crab with how defensive he is, he still has insane attacking ability and that was mostly from Shukaku. Now although the Suna Suna no mi can do just about the same things apart from becoming a tailed beast it could still be used similarly but what's the fun in that?" Cyril said as he sat down cross legged on the ground.
"Apart from that although having a lot of powers is fine and dandy and all it's just a waste and I want to take every power I use to the peak if possible so for now I will just try to emit and control as much sand as possible." Cyril said while sand started to be produced around him.
Once it was 4 metres in radius he started to manipulate it creating spikes, making small sand orbs that were floating above it while producing more sand. This continued on till 8pm. Although he didn't have any buff while training the Suna Suna No Mi unlike his Haki, he could still train constantly with his strong vitality that had been forged by training his Haki.
Once he got home he ate his dinner chatted with his parents and then got ready for bed. The next day was the usual routine except when he got to the forest gate he met Drake and Jack. "So how's your training going?" Cyril asked Drake and Jack "Pretty good with our already decently strong physiques and prior experience with Kenbunshoku haki it's been quite easy I suspect we'll hit the 1st stage by today in the punching method." Jack said as he looked at Cyril.
Drake soon chimed in "Ya man it's pretty easy especially because I don't want to be left behind by this crazy bull. I knew he was into sports but man he's competitive." Drake was pulling Jack along as he continued "Good luck by the way. We don't whats next and now I am officially tied to you so don't let me down cap'n."
"They're pretty funny together, but hopefully nothing weirds going on between them man..... It gives me the shivers just thinking about it." Cyril said as he walked towards where he trained his sand last time.
For now he could only train his Suna Suna No Mi anyway because his other stats were at the limit for Stage 1 and he didn't feel like figuring out Haoshoku Haki. If you're wondering what Stage 1 is referring to it's the "level" of a lifeform in a sense humans and the animals on earth are all Stage 1 lifeforms. They are the lowest of the low the only thing lower is a Stage 0 lifeform which can barely be considered a "lifeform" and for now Cyril doesn't know how to break through to a Stage 2 lifeform as the system guide didn't inform him but told him it would happen in due time.
So Cyril continued training his Suna Suna no mi till 3pm where he met Drake and Jack to have lunch together.
Drake: "So you know what I heard?"
Jack: "What?"
Drake: "That Stephanie is so pissed off she's been screaming and wailing for days and, that George is
cursing at anyone he sees like a deranged mad man."
Cyril: "Well they got what was coming to them. Trying to cripple their classmates. Even if there was a
healing array it was our first sparring session, they didn't need to be so ruthless and then
what's more they manipulated them to create their own factions for popularity they're vile."
Cyril really disliked them it's not like the apocalypse began or something right? They didn't need to be so extreme on basically the first day.
After that day life seemed to have gone in a cycle after a while. Drake and Jack had reached Stage 1 on Sunday and then started to train their Haki seriously. While Cyril just trained his Suna Suna No mi. After almost 3 weeks Cyril had managed to get his Suna Suna No Mi to 10 and was able to create a 40 metre radius of sand around him while control it to what ever he wanted.
Even at the school life was relatively normal. They sparred, trained and then went home. It was rinse and repeate for a while till the 24th October when 02 made an announcement.
