Chapter 4: I Have The Power of God and Anime On My Side!
So here we are face to face in our backyard.
It's early in the morning so no one is awake to view our battle.
We stare each other down thinking of what to do for the first attack.
A tumbleweed rolls by like in an old western cowboy movie as if signaling the start of the fight.
I pick up small rocks using my telekinesis and spin them slightly above the ground.
The rocks begin to pick up dust from the ground and James uses his aura to protect his eyes.
I realize how terrible this idea was and immediately stop spinning the rocks on the ground.
I can't see a thing because of the dust I foolishly caused to flare up.
James uses the aura on his eyes to protect them while allowing him to see me based on the yellow flame-like aura that covered me.
He realized I was panicked due to the color of my aura and took advantage of this by running to my side and swinging his bokken.
I spread out my telekinesis to feel any disturbances near me, but I'm too late and get tossed to the side by a painful attack!
The attack sends me skidding on the top of the ground, but I stop myself by putting both my hands on the ground and backflip twice in the air, landing on my feet.
"That hits like a truck," taking off my now dirt-covered shirt.
(Why did that hurt so much? Hmmm, I guess his aura can boost his overall battle power too, huh.) I thought in my head
James begins to cough and wheeze because he has asthma, leaving him wide open!
This is my chance!
I rush at James straight forward and swing my shinai down on him as the dust begins to clear up.
He doesn't block but instead takes it head-on!?!
"You fool!" I strike his shoulder and amplify the force of my strike by using my telekinesis to push down my shinai.
He gets thrown on the ground from my attack but looks relatively fine.
"Cheap shot," James says while standing up and patting the dirt off his pants.
I rush at him and he spins towards me with his leg up intending to kick me.
(Damn, my back is exposed!) He scolds himself in his head for turning his back to me and tries to turn around to face me.
I use my telekinesis on his feet but only manage to make him move slower trying to turn towards me.
I take this chance and quickly deliver a flurry of slashes at him with my shinai.
James blocks the first attack, but due to my telekinesis slowing him down, it became harder for him to block my other attacks.
"Take this!" The force of my telekinesis on each of my attacks cause him to be pushed backward bit by bit.
"Pest!" He quickly stops my barrage by pushing his aura outwards.
It sends me back, but i use my telekinesis to stop myself this time.
"It's time I return your attacks, double!" He says while rushing me.
(What?!? He couldn't mean-) My thoughts are stopped when I see a wooden sword almost hit my face.
James quickly adjusted himself and swung at my chest.
I manipulate a vector in front of me and change the force and velocity of the vector I chose to clash against his bokken, then another one to push on the back of his shoe causing him to lose balance.
"Hmph, empty threats won't mean anything!" I say to taunt James.
However, James turns his fall into a spin and uses the force of the vector that had clashed against his bokken to take advantage of the inertia provided by that to attack me again.
I try and use my shinai to block but it burst into pieces receiving the attack.
He definitely doubled his attack power just now.
His attack has lost its speed but it's nearing my chest again. I use my telekinesis on his slowed down attack and pull his bokken out of his hand using it.
I point the bokken at his neck.
"Do you concede?" I say while staring at him ready to counter any move I thought would be possible.
"It's not time to end the fight, why try to cut it so short" I hear from behind me.
(An illusion!?) I think to myself and panic a bit.
"What the-" I am unable to finish speaking due to having the wind knocked out of me from a punch to the side of my ribs.
The bokken flies out of my hand and firmly lodges itself into the ground.
I try to take it out of the ground with my telekinesis but stop due to having to dodge another punch thrown at me.
Jame's kicks me square in the chest and attempts to follow up by raining punches downwards.
I recover from the kick and dodge Jame's assault of attacks by side-stepping to the behind him.
James is left in a punching motion still, so i quickly kick him in the air with his back facing the ground.
"Here we, go!" I say confidently in my attack.
I place my hand on his back while under him in mid-air.
Attempting to spin him to the side while kicking the side of his waste, which he blocks with his arm.
"Hah, you're no match for me!" he says while smirking at my attack.
"Who's no match for who?" I ask while moving behind him once again midair using my telekinesis.
"Haa!" I shout out while slamming my fist on his chest.
James begins to descend to the ground and I follow him as his body continues to fall.
"Come back here, I'm not done yet," I shout while using telekinesis to slow his fall, I grab his shirt putting me right in front of him.
Unable to block the next attack, James pushes his aura to the max.
I swing my foot down to kick him once again but this time it hits!
"Lion's barrage!" I shout once again.
A burst of wind flies up, dust and dirt are raised up from the ground.
The only thing separating my foot from the ground is James, while web of cracks in the ground lay under him.
"I ask again, do you concede," I say while out of breath.
"I give I give! Now get off me already!" James says to me in annoyance, but mostly in pain.
I help him stand up and we dust ourselves off.
James began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, then healed me using his aura right after.
I pick up James's bokken from inside the ground.
"Good workout?" I ask him while handing him his bokken and walking inside.
"The workout was good but," James pauses to catch his breath "We held back too much, it became a really constrained and limited fight near the end" replied James.
We are both physically and mentally exhausted, due to having to think quickly in the heat of battle and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone to make decisions we viewed as risky.
"Well we should still take it easier than we did today, I don't think we would be allowed to keep training if either of us ended up severely injured from an attack," I said while walking
"We did take it too far by battling here... It was actually idiotic to fight in our backyard. Let's find another place later today." My brother said while looking at me as he wiped the sweat off his face with a rag.
"Yeah, today for sure," I say while catching my breath.
"So, how are you going to pay me back?" I ask my brother while thinking of a way to get more money out of him.
"For your shinai? You're the one who chose to fight me with it, so it's fair game." He responded with no intention to do so.
"Tch." I click my tongue.
He has lived with me for years, of course he would know my tactics by know.
"How about you tell me about some of the stuff you learned with your ability? Of course, I'll tell you more about mine too." James says while getting ready to wash off.
"Alright, when you're done in there I'll tell you," I say while getting my stuff ready to take a shower in the other bathroom we have.
After I finish my shower I see James wearing camo shorts and a gray T-shirt cooking breakfast.
"Take a seat at the table, I'll be done in a few. We can talk after breakfast."
As James began cracking eggs into a bowl he poured small scoops baking powder, salt, and other things, he began to multi-task and place bacon on the hot grill.
While I watched James cooked, I could see a Chinese dragon breathing fire over the skillet while flying around the stove.
I rubbed my eyes and no longer notice it.
(It seems that he's already showing me some of the stuff he can do with his aura.) I think while also including the possibility of him using his aura to create illusions.
(An illusion like that could still use a lot of improvement though.) I continue to think of ways to improve our attacks.
I have always had a theory but was never able to confirm it until now.
I don't think that Jame's power is to control his aura or anything like that. I think that his true ability is to manipulate an unknown type of energy.
It's similar to how Naruto has Chakra, Bleach Has Reishi, and Dragon Ball Z has KI.
I believe that him controlling his "Aura" is just a byproduct of that, and it may be while he doesn't feel like it takes any stamina from using his "aura".
Think of it like him having a main skill and a side skill.
The main skill will take his energy/stamina and the side skill can be used without cost.
I've decided to think of it like that for me at least. It's the most reasonable way for me to think of things for now considering I'm in that exact situation...
I would categorize my vector control as a main skill and my telekinesis as a side skill.
"Breakfast is ready," James said while placing down 4 plates of pancakes with bacon, eggs, and potatoes on the table.
The food on the table looks mesmerizing.
A stack of 3 beautiful pancakes on each plate drizzled with syrup, fluffy, scrambled eggs soft to the touch, bacon with a smoke-like aroma that swiftly spread across the house, and seasoned potatoes with chopped bell peppers.
"You really made a lot…" I say while salivating over the food in front of me.
"Well, I infused my power into the food, so I had to make a lot to show off ya know?" My brother said with a smirk on his face.
"Are you trying to use us as guinea pigs?" I ask as my tone darkens slightly.
"So you don't want it?" Jame asks while taking away the plate a bit before i stop him.
"Mine!" I say while I take the plate back and start eating.
I take my fork and immediately grab a pancake, stuffing it into my mouth.
They tasted divine, simply out of this world! The soft spongelike pancake soaked up some syrup before I ate it, bringing the taste to new levels.
The rich syrup is not too hot but not too warm, it's still fragrant in the air, and leads me to imagine that I'm riding on a huge pancake along a stream made of syrup.
I go for another bite.
My shirt burst into pieces as I -
Oops, wrong story!
I finish eating my food and was marveled at the taste. I also felt slightly stronger after eating that and more energized.
"Looks like that increased your strength, I can tell because your aura's flame grew a bit."
"You should cook like this more often, it seems like it will be really beneficial. On top of that, it tastes great" I tell my brother as I finish eating my breakfast.
"Sure thing, I'm going to tell everyone else to go eat now.
James tells everyone else that its time to eat and sits down to eat his food.
"Let's go inside the forest when you're done eating, it's isolated and there shouldn't be anyone in there for anything," I say to James while heading to my room to get ready.
As I head into my room I see a white light on my dresser.
I close my door behind me in case something were to happen.
(It must be coming from those tools my dad sent us a while ago) I think while walking to my dresser.
I pick up the tools and put the two pieces together.
(Mabey this time something will happen,) I think while waiting and triggering multiple flags.
My vision suddenly fades and I appear in an empty area that seems to be space or the galaxy.
The purple and black colors of the galaxy stand out, there are stars dotting the sky and the floor, and its beauty is worthy of praise.
(I can breathe, so I'm definitely still alive…) I think while ruling out the possibility of being dead.
(Was I teleported here by those tools? I'm probably not in my world anymore...) My thoughts are stopped midway.
A voice resounds in the vast area.
"For thousands of years, I lay dormant…" The cold voice of a young woman said as the space around me began to shake.
I hold my breath out of reflex and instantly become alert.
The wind brushes against my neck and all my hairs stood up. I check my left and my right sides and don't see anything.
I'll fight if I have to, even if it is someone powerful.
Because I have the power of God and anime on my side!
"WHO HAS DISTURBED MY- oh, so you're Maou Aldous huh." The feminine voice said as she changed her tone of approach.
