Chương 5: chapter 4: Kryptonian martial arts

"Politics doesn't interest me, especially when there is no point in it at all. we both know that krypton's destruction will happen in our lifetime so I rather prepare to live than take part in politics but you are right, I do need something from elders. Recently, I started a project and to complete it I would need some restricted files." I told him while I wondered if they will make him vice-head of the guild before he was allowed access.

"What kind of project?" Jor-el asked curiously as it was the first time I would be using the knowledge I gained to archive something for himself.

" A bottom to top sentinel A.I. derived from Prime krypton A.I. that is capable of free will so you can say I'm trying to make a life." I quench his curiosity while returning to my compartment.

**a few days later, 3rd underground floor, guild, third-person p.o.v.

Jor-el agreed to the kar-el request. It is agreed upon that both sides kept their side of the deal. What Jor-el won't know was that Lara would have agreed to his proposal anyway because she too loved him and that's why Kar-el so easily gave his guarantee on this matter.

Jor-el turned towards kar-el," okay, the first thing you need to understand about martial arts is that they can't be learned in a day, especially ours because it has been perfected by many masters throughout the years. first, we will begin by making your body capable of performing it. your body has to be flexible and agile to be ready to perform the actions."

kar-el just nodded to indicate his consent and jor-el started to teach him some basic actions and breathing techniques, both of them became engrossed in what they were doing for a while.

"Okay, you will be doing these until I find you capable enough to move on to the next step. you can ask newt for your basic body training exercise schedule too which you will be following from now on. Now show me what have you learned today." explained Jor-el.

Kar-el began performing what he was taught today, Jor-el began to circle him and fixed any mistake that he made.

" Our mind be divided into two parts in terms of activity, part 1 is lazy by nature so it operates slowly while part 2 is always active and performing tasks without much thinking, Even though part 1 is sluggish, it is the part that we use when we focus on something because it thinks about everything before performing it. It checks if it is right or wrong. What you need to do is to make martial arts a muscle memory so that part 2 acts in time of need rather than part 1 because most of the time, fast decision-making is more important than precise action in a fight. " Jor-el told Kar-el while helping him stretch. ( if you want to find more about brain workings, https://youtu.be/UBVV8pch1dM )

he continued," you have a natural advantage over others that your learning brain is not as lazy as normal beings due to your high IQ. Now if you excuse me, my work is over for now until your body is capable of learning the art. I will be in my lab if you need anything and do remember your part of the deal. "

Kar-el continued to perform the actions as he was told while Jor-el returned to his lab.

*** 12 years before the destruction of krypton

P.O.V. Kar-el

Currently, I and jor-el were both visiting zor-el's house where they invited us to celebrate the naming of their daughter which was given to them just yesterday after finally reaching the age required by prime A.I. . she was born just like me by the artificial process and was taken care of until now in a pod with all the other babies.

My muscles were still in pain due to today's training because when Jor-el realized that I tricked him about the confession, he increased the amount I had to train by double. thankfully I was right about Lara; she agreed quickly when he confessed. they would be marrying next year if things go well.

Council gave me the duty to maintain the gravity barrier around the planet last month and it was taking a lot of my free time since then. At least I could get access to Prime A.I. while I was doing the checks and improvisations which really helped for my project's fast development.

"Which type of gene they picked chose for their daughter?" I turned my face to jor-el as I asked this.

"I believe they want a warrior daughter, zor has been a great scientist since he reached adulthood like us but" he looked at me while raising an eyebrow," interestingly enough he and Alura got influenced by someone else's views which made them choose warrior genes instead, I wonder who that certain someone is?"

I avoided his eyes as I looked outside the house, " you don't have to accuse me about your niece not being a scientist like you, I just want my niece to be capable of defending herself when she has to fend for herself after the destruction of Krypton."

he too looked outside with mellow eyes, " what makes you think that she will survive? the elders don't want to believe that krypton will reach its end soon enough."

"you don't have to worry about that" 'cause I will make sure that she does ', we both turned around as zor and Alura entered the room with their child.

"what discussion was going between you two? ", alura asked while walking towards us with her child.

Jor-el stepped ahead of me as we both began to stroll to them, " Nothing's important, just a little talk between cousins " he replied while getting on his knees so he could be at eye level with his niece, " so what name have you two decided for this little warrior?" he asked as gave a gentle smile at her but the child quickly hid behind her mother.

" Kara, kara-zor-el " zor answered back to Jor-el as Alura tried to tell her child not to be afraid by patting her head and encouraging her to step forward by giving her a little push.

I too got on kara's level as she peeked at us from behind her mother and showed her a sweet on my hand.

I encouraged her to take the sweet with my eyes and she slowly stepped out of her mother's shadow and took the sweet from my hand with her little hands.

she looked at the Jor-el with big eyes like she was asking for permission to eat it and when he gave her an encouraging nod, she returned the nod with a beaming smile and ran to a chair in the corner of the room to enjoy her sweet.
