CHASING ADVANCEMENT 5 [VI] (Ch. 149)

"How do you feel?" Maya questions curiously, Jayson and Co watch intently as Yanick feels through the changes in his being, 

"Come" Evelyine calls beckoning Yanick before her, "Show me" she states, Yanick nods his 'Force' arts igniting as one, his body well capable of withstanding the pressures of such strain. Raven while watching centered his eyes on the irregular flow of 'Force',

(So that's the difference) Raven mules, the distinction between the ATTUNEMENT level upwards and everything else,

{Yes, that singular reason is the very reason why one is only regarded a true super human only when they have achieved this advancement} Silver replies. The 'thing' in question?, Yanick had become a moving point of mass, dense enough as coalescence of 'Force'.

"The goal is to win so i'll train you to do just that" Evelyine states, "Conceptualisation" she states cryptically, Yanick's brows furrow momentarily when a look of shock and realisation dawns on him,

"First and foremost we're going to re shape the entire execution of your martial arts" she begins, "it seems that master if yours was so desperate to pass it on he didn't even bother searching for an actual spear master so we're going to make you one" she declares,

"My own unique martial arts" Yanick declares,

"Exactly" Evelyine states blurring into the valley and back with a thick long branch shaped into a pole, "imbue this with your 'Force' as you would your weapon and fight without it crumbling" she declares before facing the rest. 

"What're you all staring at?" She questions, "keep staring and you'll never advance in time" she states prompting Raven and Co to return to cycling, Mari though just as she'd been doing for the last three days since their training camp began stands several feet before Evelyine, her forehead scrunched in focus as 'Force' pulses around her, her staggered attempts at guiding it into a Pseudo Domain still meeting the heavy problem of her lackluster control. Seeing this Evelyine smiles watching her sisters efforts, 

"Mari" she calls,

"What!" The latter snaps,

"You can't force control, what element is 'Force' and it's flow most similar to?" She questions, 

"...water" Mari responds,

"There's a reason why you're finding this hard, if you say 'That' three times i'll help you" Evelyine smiles,

"Aren't you here to help us anyway?" Mari snaps,

"No, i'm here to help them" she quips in reply, "extra baggage doesn't count" she grins causing the blonde haired girl to grit her teeth, "C'mon just say it" Evelyine grins, 

"I..." Mari begging pausing and swallowing hard as if a lump was stuck in her throat,

"You what?" Her sister grins with devilish beauty,

"I love you big sis" she rushes causing a faint blush to coat her defiant cheeks, well aware the group had heard the exchange, her sister had gotten the outcome she wanted but to her strength mattered more.

"Awww, if only you were always this honest Mari" Evelyine states having blurred behind Mari enveloping her in a hug. Mari haven long been used to this form of abuse didn't even bother struggling within her sisters embrace, with almost visible deflation she ceded,

"Just teach me what i need to do" Mari sighs, Evelyine disconnects giving space her demeanor switching back,

"As you've stated 'Force' is mist similar to water in terms if flow, where a Pseudo Domain and an actual Domain differ is in their definitions, one entail 'Guiding' the other 'Control'" Evelyine states, 

"So i need to control my imprinted 'Force' outward to influence the flow of ambient 'Force'?" She questions,

"Go on" Evelyine follows,

"So i need to... improve my 'Force' Control?" Mari questions,

"Remember what i've always told you about how you fight" Evelyine states, 

"Lacking refinement" Mari deadpans,

"More accurately, Control" she begins, "I'd say the biggest reason for this defect you have are the nature of your 'Force' arts, so here is the method of solution, while we spar you will manipulate your imprinted 'Force' in varying patterns, no wide area spread, conceal your 'Force' to the strike or defense area while engaged in fluid combat, master this and you'll be halfway there" she declares her lips morphing to a smile as she sees Mari drop into a stance with no delay, "My aren't you eager" Evelyine muses causing Mari to shudder, years of memories ingrained in bone.

Jimmy stood with a smile opposite Darren who's eyes bore down on him with intent to harm,

"I'm surprised you even came" Jimmy muses,

"Just happened to have some free time to squash a bug" Darren replies,

"Whoa there big guy, you might mot want to do that" Jimmy grins watching Darren's expression harden as several Presences flare up from meters away, "Like i said, my proposal is mutually beneficial" Jimmy follows,

"Talk, and fast" Darren states folding his arms, 

"Join me" Jimmy states, silence follows for the following seconds after, eventually Darren breaks it,

"It seems you've gone ma" he states eyes wide his presence flaring,

"Tsk tsk tsk" Jimmy shakes his head mocking, "always so quick to anger, if only you had the strength to back it up" Jimmy mocks unperturbed by the audible grinding of Darren's teeth,.

"I mean look at you" He chastises further, "that so called...'master' should i call him" Jimmy follows, "now nothing more than a lap dog for your greatest nemesis's mother" he follows watching Darren's forehead furrows in confusion, (Those bastards information channels are sure proving useful) he muses, "what's his name?, Ah yes, Jhon Wuu, i suppose i can't blame him, afterall Voss's mother is arguably the most powerful Sword master on the planet, there is a reason why she's called the 'Sword Goddess', i don't blame him, afterall for a Shifter there's nothing more important than chasing advancement" Jimmy declares. Watching intently as Darren's face morphs in a flurry of expression before settling into a frown, 

"You really are an idiot, you must think i'm stupid" Darren declares with widened eyes and his fist cocked to blow,

"I do" Jimmy replies causing Darren's temper to flare in both anger and confusion, 

"I've begun training, join me and you can receive the same, i have factual information that states even now Raven is in training, and last i checked he already beat you once no twice even" Jimmy smirks, Darren sneers in response,

"You mean when i put the bastard in the hospital",

"No, when he used his stronger body to make you look like a pussy" Jimmy quips his stance changing into a kick, his foot inches from Darren's face, the memory causes the hulking teen to flush red, 

"While everyone trains you're going to be left behind, how about this" Jimmy smiles, "comes train with us, i'll even create you the chance to kill the bastard, and when the time comes you help me with a little thing of mine" Jimmy states, "how about it Darren Joo, do we have a deal?" He questions with an amicable smile and an outstretched hand. Darren calms himself pondering furiously for several seconds,

(I can almost see the steam shuffling out his ear) Jimmy muses,

"Deal!" Darren responds tacking Jimmy's hand,

(Hook line annnnnd Sinker) Jimmy muses grinning harder, the insanity shinning with the glint in his eyes, 

"A pleasure doing business".
