Chapitre 22: Zhang Tie
Klaust was shocked to see how easy to produce this Iron Body Fruit (Author: No it was not. You are M, that's why)
Klaust checked the fruit and ponder about the effect of it. By the name alone it seems the fruit will turn his body to iron?....... It seems it had an effect to strenghten the body to be as hard as iron. It must be this. After scrutinizing it for a while he decide to just ate it first and regretted it later. He picked the fruit and ate it in one gulp and before he managed to finished it. Suddenly his body started to heat up. This has the same feeling as the medicine he took before but the pain was far more intense. He slumped down and wriggle on the ground because of the intense pain. His body started to sweat a lot and along the sweat came out a black substance that smell worse than a s**t being fermented. (Nope i don't know the smell)
Klaust tried to endure the pain and manage to sit down trying to enter meditation state to ease the pain. Once he managed to entered the state, the heat and pain he felt started to subside replaced by a cool feeling on his entire body. He could feel that his body was getting stronger, even more than the effect from the medicine. If he was to made comparison if the medicine would strenghten his body by 1 then the fruit would strengthen in by 1.5 - 2. The strenghtening process last for an entire hour before he felt that the process was done, before he checked his body Klaust decide to exit the castle because he already spent an hour inside it and his goal for tonight was supposed to be on nightwatch.
Once he was outside he checked around the orphanage and saw that everything was fine. There was no sign of someone nearby, Klaust sighed feeling relieved and started to check his body. Just as he expected the result was much better than the medicine. His young skinny body now looked ripe, even though there was no bulging muscle but he know that he was stronger than the normal adult by at least twofold or maybe more. He couldn't compare himself to another fighter because he never fought againts any, and to compare himself with Old Jack would be depressing.
Because he had no one to compare his progress he just shrugged his shoulder and started training by himself. Once he finished with his training he started his meditation to fill his surging point with Qi. He could see that there was some residual Qi left from the medicine that he could absorb to his surging point. He expected that he could entered Lvl 2 Fighter at the latest in 3 day. He was happy to be able to grow stonger this fast, of course he know that this was only because his level was still low that he could progress this fast. If any other people know what Klaust thinking, they would surely beat him up for it.
Klaust finished his meditation after 30 minutes. He woked up and started to walk around the orphanage to check if there was something happening. Fortunately, there was nothing so he turned back to the orphanage.
=======
The days pass just like that. At Tuesday when he worked at Donder place he found that the price of the daily necesities like rice, bread and the like started to rise again, as though it signified something going to happen soon. At Uncle Donder place that day he met with other person that worked for Uncle Donder on different shift from him, His name was Zhang Tie. Somenone with the lineage from the east, to summarize him after talking for the whole shift Klaust conclude that Zhang Tie was someone horny, a bit silly, full of passion, a bit delusional but overall he was a nice person and could be considered as a good guy. Zhang Tie also talked about the woman in his dream called Miss Daina, and Klaust could only smiled awkwardly hearing that. For Klaust, Miss Daina was someone he was indebt to and he didn't saw her as a woman (Yet kid, Yet) but more as a teacher. Of course he could understand Zhang Tie because he also thought that Miss Daina was really pretty. They also talked about Grandma Teressa and the orphanage near the west gate. Klaust was surprised to hear this, he then talked to Zhang Tie about how he was currently staying there because of the rumor of Redscarf Burglars. They get along quickly seeing that they also had the same acquintance.
At the end of their talked Zhang Tie talked about how his school was going on a test in the wild next month and he was preparing for it. He talked about how he want to have "a good time" with a girl before he went. So he wouldn't have any regret if he couldn't make it. Klaust only smiled wrily hearing that and also encourage him to hang in there and he would surely made it back.
When their shift were done, they parted away and promised to meet again next shift. It seems that Zhang Tie shift was moved to the same time with Klaust, Uncle Donder was planning to limited the opening day of the store because the price started to jack up so the two of them would worked at the same shift while the rest would be taken care by himself.
=======
Klaust spend his day like usual. Traning, meditating, working, helping, and else. Of course in the span of these days he managed to succesfully enter the stage of Lvl 2 Fighter. He was so happy at that time that he went and barbeque some meat he had for the kid of the orphanage and Nunally.
The case of Redscarf Burglars still haunted the city. Not long ago another murder case happened again, this time it got nearer to the mayor residence but the guard still couldn't found the culprit. Klaust didn't bother about the case, as long as the case was not happening near him he would just spend his day like usual.
At Thursday he met with Zhang Tie again and talked like they were an old friend. They get along really well for someone who just met twice. That day Zhang Tie talked about his work at a fighting club and that he ends up as someone punching bag but he didn't sound like he was depressed, at the contracy he talked as if he was enjoying it as a form og training. Klaust also talked about how he became a punching bag when he was training with his teacher and they both laughed about how they end up being a punched bag together.
For some reason Klaust thought about how his battle technique "Leo Might" and "Bloody Scorpion". He was pondering if he should gave one to Zhang Tie because he felt that Zhang Tie was someone that he could trust, but he was not sure because he didn't know their origin and he was afraid that he would bring trouble to Zhang Tie.
"Hei Klaust, you need to keep this a secret" Zhang Tie suddenly whispered something to Klaust and beckoned him to came closer. Klaust was woken up from his thought and came closer to him. Zhang Tie suddenly brough out a dilapitated book from his clothes and showed it to Klaust, the book was written in ancient chinese and Klaust couldn't tell what the book was about.
"This book is called Mental Arithmetic by Abacus, according to what i found after trying the book. This method can help us when meditating and not just that but also increased our thinking speed" Zhang Tie explained passionately to Klaust. While Klaust was dumbfounded not because of the effect of this method but about how Zhang Tie just casually told him about this. He was ashamed that he was hesitating to give Klaust one of the battle technique he didn't use while Zhang Tie gave him something this precious.
"What do you think Klaust?" Zhang Tie asked Klaust with a smug grin on his face. Of course he was not boasting to him, for Zhang Tie this kind of thing should be shared with his friend he was also planning to tell his brother at school about this. Zhang Tie just like Klaust also felt that he could trust this new friend of him like he could trust his brother at school, even though he didn't know the reason behind the trust but he trust his gut feeling.
Klaust was quiet for a while before he could answer Zhang Tie.
"I think it was good. But i'm not really sure....." Klaust answered casually because he really didn't know what to think. He never tried this thing so he could only answered vaguely so he didn't hurt his friend feeling.
Zhang Tie suddenly realized the blunder he made. He facepalmed before he talked again.
"Silly me, you need to try it first before you could know right?" Zhang Tie then proceeded to told Klaust about the method. It was a really simple method, he only need to imagine an abacus and proceed with calculation until the abacus was solid in his mind. The next step would be conjure another abacus and repeated himself until the max point would be around 4 abacus, but Zhang Tie said that 4 Abacus shouldn't be the limit because the book was supposed to be for someone at pre-school and for them who was teenager he thought that the limit should increase but he didn't know the limit yet because up to this point he could only get at most 2 abacus.
Klaust listened carefully and tried the method according to Zhang Tie explanation. In his first try, he could create 3 abacus right away he then proceeded with the calculation
123X654
789X210
567893:4231
He keep doing calculation until he could feel that the abacus was already imprinted inside his mind. He also found out that to imprint the abacus the calculation was only a way to utilized the spiritual energy as a way to made an imprint in his mind. Even without calculation with strong enough energy you could bypass it and directly imprinted it in your mind. He also found out that this method also has an effect of strenghtening and replenishing his spiritual energy but it was inferior to his "Deep Sleep" method. When he opened his eyes Klaust could see that Zhang Tie was looking at him fervently.
"So?? How is it?? Good Right??" Zhang Tie couldn't hold back his curiousity and asked Klaust about how he felt. Klaust smiled helplessly seeing this passionate new friend of his and made up his mind.
"It was really good and there is something you need to know" Klaust the proceeded ro told Zhang Tie about what he found out. First he told him about being a Lvl 2 fighter and he had a great talent on spiritual energy according to his teacher. He then proceeded to explain about spiritual energy was the power that could made him stay at meditaion longer, and he could achieved a faster cultivation if he could have a stronger spiritual energy. He also told about the effect of the Abacus method was not only his thought process to be quickened but also had an effect of strenghtening and replenishing spiritual energy.
Zhang Tie was shocked and agaped when Klaust told him that he was a Lvl 2 fighter but he changed and listen solemnly when Klaust started to explain about what he found out about his method and the purpose of spiritual energy. Zhang Tie listened attentively and was happy that Klaust didn't mind to share his knowledge with him. He blessed Uncle Donder with long live because if not for him maybe he wouldn't met Klaust.
"That's all i found. It was better for you to think through before telling other people this method. It was possibly better if the one you told about this was someone you could trust fully"
"I understand. Thank you for the knowledge Klaust"
"It's fine. Now that you trust me enough to gave something this precious i couldn't be ungrateful right? but i would like to ask your permission to teach this to my sister and maybe some others"
"Sure you could do that. It was better to share this kind of knowledge anyway"
"Thank you Zhang Tie. This is for you, pick one"
Klaust then proceeded to took out two book that he already prepared beforehand. Of course not for Zhang Tie but he want to consult about this to Old Jack tomorrow, he didn't know that he would end up giving one of them to Zhang Tie but he didn't regret nor he hesitate to show it to this friend of him.
The book of course contend the battle technique that didn't lose to his Libra Scale.
The Lion Might and Bloody Scorpion.
