PAGE 5: TRAINING (2)

In the building next to the Mitsui mansion, you could see a young boy sweating buckets, this was Kazuya. He was being surrounded by his 3 tutors as they looked at him intently; Phillip was seated at the side as he drank a cup of tea. After what felt like hours to Kazuya, Sung Waukon laughed loudly and said "he's a fine lad" Arianna looked at Sung and said "yes unlike a certain monkey" a tick mark appeared on Sung's head as he growled "who you calling monkey, old hag?" Arianna clearly pissed by his words said "hah so the monkey knows how to talk" Grey tried to calm the feud but he was shut down by them both as they shouted "SHUT UP" and they continued arguing. Kazuya was surprised by this and just ignored the trio as he went closer to Phillip, Phillip seeing him, asked "what do you want?" "What's your quirk?" Kazuya asked immediately, Phillip closed his eye and began explaining his power "my quirk is 'assimilate' it allows me to have an understanding of others quirk but I need to have a sample of their blood to do so" Kazuya nodded and said "that's why you are in-charge of the quirk training" Phillip nodded, Kazuya then asked "do you know their quirks?" As he pointed at the others, Phillip sighed and answered "yes, we were informed of the others quirk" he then looked at Grey and said "Grey-san has a quirk called 'diagnosis' which enables him to know the condition of a person's body. It also allows him to bring the body back to peak condition as long as he has a clear understanding of the problem" Kazuya nodded, Phillip then pointed at Sung and explained "Sung-san has a quirk called 'prediction' this allows him to see into the future and guess the course of an attack hence he does martial arts as in a battle he can predict where/how you'll attack" he took a sip of tea as he looked at Arianna and said "Arianna-san has an enhancement quirk called 'weapon master' from the name you can guess, she can use any weapon perfectly. There only limitation is in that she can only enter that state for 10min but she has increased it to an hour" "wow" Kazuya was amazed by his tutor's quirk and understood his dad has been planning this for a long time.

Phillip finally finished his tea and said "your training will start tomorrow, I hope you can survive" he then stood and left, Sung looked at Kazuya and said "yeah, I really hope you don't die" and he also left, the two others left without saying a word. Kazuya looked up to the ceiling and said "okay tomorrow is gonna be hard" as he also headed to his room to take care of other things.

The following day by 4.00a.m,

BEEEP…BEEEP…BEEEP

Kazuya was awoken by the loud beeping sounds, he wanted to ignore it but Grey appeared at his side with an evil smile and whispered "run" when Kazuya heard those words, his instincts screamed at him and he began running while Grey was following closely behind as he encouraged him saying "yes that's great just 10 laps round the compound" Kazuya cursed his fate as he began running with all he had.

2 rounds later, he was already exhausted but Grey didn't let him hit the floor as he appeared next to him and washed the fatigue away using his quirk so Kazuya continued running and any time he'll try to fall, Grey will him instantly.

An hour later, Kazuya finally completed 11 laps and was allowed to fall to the ground but he almost cried when he heard Grey's words "yeah enjoy the break, it last for only 10mins" Grey moved on to explain what he'll be doing next "after the break, you'll be doing squats, pushups, planks, long jumps and any other exercise I see fit for someone your age, also starting from today you'll follow a strict diet so as to ensure your healthy growth" Kazuya couldn't muster any more fake tears so he just went with it, for the next hour he did all type of exercise given to him and he couldn't stop as there was an angel of healing, relieving the fatigue immediately.

An hour had passed and Kazuya was able to survive Grey's Spartan training, Grey smiled at this as he said "enjoy your 30 minutes; the next guy won't make your life any easier. Try not to die, please" with those words Grey left.

Kazuya looked at the sky and soon lost consciousness as he fell into sleep.

30 minutes later, he saw himself being punched in his sleep so he awoke and moved to the side and he was able to dodge Sung's attack which was just a hair away. Sung smiled and said "wow great instincts, I like that" he then handed Kazuya a karate outfit and continued "put this on and meet me in the dojo" with those words, Sung went to the dojo, Kazuya grumbled and reluctantly put the outfit on and lazily headed to the dojo.

When he arrived there, he saw Sung sitting in a meditative position he walked closer and sat in the same position as Sung decided to brief him on the training "as you've heard, I'll be teaching you martial arts. In my long life, I learned all sorts of martial arts but I'm not a master of all, so some of my old friends will be helping me to teach you. The ones you'll be learning will be; Karate, Taekwondo, Maui Thai, Krav Maga and Kung Fu. I don't know how long it will take you to learn them to a reasonable level but just now the minimum may be 2 years and max 4 years if necessary. I'll be the one teaching you Karate personally, now let's begin" with those words, Sung stood and began showing Kazuya the basics of Karate i.e. the straight punch, front kick, roundhouse kick and others. He also briefed him on the four main styles of karate and taught him other things, at the end of the session, Sung informed him of the daily spar they'll have starting from next week thisworried Kazuya to no end as he looked at his body and imagined how it'll look at this time next week.

Soon, Sung was done teaching and Arianna stepped into the dojo as she looked at Kazuya rest. She showed him a smile and said "it seems it's my turn, I hope you'll try your best" "yeah, please don't kill me" Kazuya pleaded, Arianna chuckled as she said "I'll try my best not to,but no promises" she then stood up and said "well let's begin" as she said that, the wall rotated and on the other side, all sorts of weapons were plastered to it, ranging from guns to swords and many others. She then requested "please choose any weapon from these and I'm going to train you to use it" Kazuya nodded and headed to the wall as he made his choice. At the end, he choose a gun, sword and rod; Arianna smiled and said "okay 3 weapons, that's great. Much less work for me" she then took the sword and said "we shall start with this" she handed Kazuya the sword and said "you'll swing this sword 100 times and that's all you'll do for this week during my session. Next week we shall be going more in depth for now, swing the blade" Kazuya smiled wryly when he heard that, this was the easiest of them all but as he started and kept swinging, he realized how wrong he was. 2 hours passed in a flash and he was done with all 100 swings, he was sweating profusely as his breathing was irregular, he soon dropped to the ground to rest his muscles, Arianna smiled and waved at him as she left the building.

Phillip soon stepped into the dojo while reading a book; he looked at Kazuya on the floor and asked "how are you holding up?" "I'm not yet dead haha" Kazuya tried to humor himself; Phillip kept his stoic expression and asked "how long are you going to lie there? I think it's my turn now" Kazuya immediately stood up as he looked at Phillip in the eye, Phillip then handed him a knife with a small dish and ordered him saying "pour some of your blood into the dish" Kazuya stared at him weirdly as though asking 'seriously?' Phillip stared back at him with an expression that said 'yes, seriously!' Kazuya took the hint and cut himself as he poured some of his blood into the dish and handed it to Phillip, who took it and immediately drank the blood and his eyes then radiated a blue light and soon returned to normal and he said to Kazuya "I now have a better understanding of your quirk, for now you'll be increasing the range of effect of your quirk" with those words he placed a doll 10m away from him and said "pull this closer to you and back to this place continuously, I'll increase the level depending on your progress but I plan that by the time I leave you, your range will be 50m. Let's begin" and Kazuya began trying to pull the doll closer to him until he was able to succeed and when he did, he pushed it back to the location from which he pulled it from. Anytime he'll faint, Grey will appear and bring him back to life, this kept on until by the end of the day, he could continuously pull and push it to 10m from and away from him.

After Phillip's training, Kazuya was allowed to rest for 4h hours before his classes started as he was home schooled.
