After eating i went back outside fast to continue my training on the tree branch.
It definitely isn't the best location to train but it is the best i can access right now freely. If I go somewhere lese then issues could arise.
For example, if I went to a forest to train without the noisy surroundings then i would be able to train more efficiently but at the same time if someone starts searching for me they wont find me. Which in turn, when i come back not only will they berate me with questions but they will also try keeping me in their sights from then on.
Which is very bad since if I continue disappearing then they will be on to something. And I want to keep the fact that I'm training a secret right now.
I jump to the branch I was on before and sit on it. I move my tail around the tree as I lean to the side towards the ground. My body accelerates but it suddenly stops while I'm upside-down.
The idea came to me that because this position is highly reliant on my balance my {acrobatics} skill mastery will level up faster than sitting on the branch. Its a useful skill when it comes to fighting in a complex environment and I want to raise it fast. And just sitting on a branch doesn't do it for me.
At the same time I can start to train my tail a little bit too keep the muscles on it active. A saiyan's tail is a useful appendage as it can help you with footing or even be used as a weapon. it even allows you to turn into Great Ape form. But at the same time it does have some issues.
If it hasn't been trained then its not only useless but a huge weakness as well. its a easy target for someone to cut or grab and its especially sensitive. If it gets cut in the meddle of the fight it will definitely end up badly.
And don't forget about the great ape transformation and how you can not only be forcefully turned into, but also completely lose control if you haven't trained in keeping reason and consciousness. It could end up in dire consequences since if you lose control you will just end up targeting and killing everything in the surroundings. Including comrades and friends.
But this issue can be mostly combated by having high power level for some reason.
A person whom has 10k power level is likely to be able to transform and still keep consciousness. But if a saiyan with 2k power does it then there is basically no chance they will. therefore I will make sure that I'm strong enough before I give it a try. And also take extra measures in case it does fail, i don't want anybody to die because of my mistakes.
Same with super saiyan. I need to train in transforming without leaking much ki to my surroundings. It would be quite bad turning super while civilians or weak friends are close. or turning in a closed space like a building and it all collapses down.
This is also a issue with ki consumption. If a engine keeps leaking fuel then it will run out faster and not work as efficiently. same with transformations. If there is no leakage then it can be maintained much longer, and at the same time it has a higher output in power.
But right now I can only look forward to the time when I can transform into super.
And the only way to get closer is train! so I will do Just that!
I start channeling my Ki into a orb, trying to keep it as spherical as possible while also making it spin as fast as i can without losing control. doing both at once perfectly is hard, and that's why its probably the best method I have right now.
When I raise my mastery I will try doing the same thing but outside of my physical range.
-------------
Many hours pass as the sun slowly sets, painting the sky with many shades of red, including pink and orange.
It should be around 6-7 o-clock.
I stop my training as i open my eyes and climb on the branch in a sitting position. Admiring the view of the sun and the clouds in the distance.
A celestial body. A enormous ball of fire that burns of billions of years tirelessly. seemingly like the overseer of our planet. A force that cant be opposed.
Unaffected by anything.
That is my goal
This is the power that I want to reach.
And I have exactly the tools I need to do it.
{Race: Ancient saiyan (low-class)}
{congratulations! [ki sense] skill level has risen to level 15!}
{congratulations! [ki control] skill level has risen to level 16!}
{congratulations! [Acrobatics] skill level has risen to level 9!}
{congratulations! [concentration} skill level has risen to level 10!}
With each level of ki sense i can sense the ki in the surroundings further and more acutely. As well as the surrounding environment, making eyesight practically unnecessary. But I still want to be able to see the beauty of the world so you wont see me wearing cloth on top of my eyes for a extended period if not for training.
As my ki control gets better I can use ki more efficiently and I am able to control it at will. If I tried I should be able to generate a small beam of ki in my hands. But it would be impractical since its not only draining but also hard to control.
Curiously, I try controlling the ki of the tree.
The blue ki running through the branch I experiment on moves slightly in accordance to my will but the resistance is great. I continue trying as I finally am able to remove a chunk of it and control it in my hands.
I disperse it back into the tree.
Controlling another beings ki is hard. I can control a portion of the ki in the tree but it is still a little tiring. I can imagine how much harder controlling another persons ki has to be, especially when there is a ton of it pressured tightly together.
I have also come to understand better how much ki is being released from my body passively.
Everyone's ki leaks outside of the body but it is replenished at the same rate. Controlling the leakage is a bit hard, but releasing all the ki outside my body is easy. but it has to be done slowly or else it produces a force around me. Right now that force doesn't amount to much but it can be deadly when I'm stronger in the future.
Release it all at once and throw back a army of enemies is cool crowd control.
But now to the main ability everyone has wished of at least once.
I gather my ki underneath me as I force it downwards to the ground. My body levitates slightly of the ground. I try forcing more energy and in response I start accelerating upwards slightly. I slowly lower the output. Surely I decelerate to a standstill before i start accelerating again, downwards this time. Reaching the branch and repositioning myself
Success! I don't even need to explain why flight is a great.
And a fact to further strengthen it is that there is barely any people capable of flight in MHA. And even for the ones that can, their flight is severely inferior because of the mechanism that allows them to fly.
For example endeavor has to drain a lot of energy to accelerate and then decelerate mid air with his flame. And perfectly controlling those flames is not only taxing but hard to do. Which makes it impossible to make intricate, detailed and fully controlled movement mid air.
In comparison ki flight is easy and only requires ki. Which I've noticed is barely getting drained while flying. Its easy to the point where I'm certain I will be able to do it subconsciously in just a couple months. But fast and detailed movements will be harder to do. Though freely flying and fighting will take a while to get a hold of.
At the same time flight is achieved by ki manipulation. And therefore it should raise my [ki control] skill.
Ki is the best. period.
Its just so versatile. it encompasses almost every ability.
want something vaporized?
just use a beam on it.
want to heat up something?
Do the same but with controlled and less ki.
Want to freeze something?
That is possible as well, I don't know how but its possible.
Eis Shenron does it.
Want to cut through something?
Form a ki blade.
Wanna see your surroundings and generally understand what's going on? Including the smallest details?
Ki sensing
And the easiest of the bunch
Blast/explosion attacks.
Ki is the best. And everyone can theoretically use it. Which makes it even better.
"Igarashi got lost again!" Shouted a toddler cutely.
"Again? Lets go find him, he could be hurt! or grabbed by some villain!" replied another.
"NOOO!!! our Igarashi could be hurt! He cant be!" replied a little girl around 6 years old worriedly, almost breaking into tears.
A 9 year old boy barges into the yard through the door.
"Then we need to save him! We cant have anything happen to him! He might be tough and smart but he is still a baby! And what do you think babies need?" The older boy, Eric, shouts to the group of 3 kids.
He might still be a young kid but he is still older than the ones in the group and therefore they look up to him as if he is the one in charge.
"""..."""
"come on! what do babies need?" He asks again the extremely vague question.
"Um....hugs?.." suggests a little girl. the smallest in the group. Angelica. around 6 years old.
"Milk?" suggests the 7 year old boy. Akemi.
"kisses?" says the last girl. Aki
""""...."""""
The older boy is disappointed by the answers he got and stands there waiting for another answer.
*cricket sound effect*
"Well yes but its not what he needs right now. so try again!" He says as he gains back his spirit.
The kids start thinking again.
"..sleep?... sleep while getting hugged?..." says Angelica, her kind nature worthy of her name.
"Yeah! hugs, sleep and kisses are necessary for a baby! That's why Jess keeps on hugging and kissing him all the time!" says Aki, as if finding enlightment through angelica.
"OH. I know! He needs that thing that babies suck on!" shouts the boy matter a factly.
All three kids look at Eric waiting for him to verify their propositions.
He just stares back slightly disappointed.
The kids realize they are wrong so they go back to thinking.
"My brain hurts..." says Angelica as she places her hands on her head and bends down slightly.
"..." Aki continues thinking but quickly gives up.
"Oh I know!" shouts Akemi.
Eric and the girls look at him expectantly.
"Babies need affection! like Aki and angelica said". the Girls hear him and smile pridefully at the mention of their 'correct idea'.
"But babies need to play too! And igarashi is a boy and a strong baby as well! So he needs to play more than other babies!"
hearing this the girls seem excited while absorbing the new 'info'. nodding their heads.
""Umu,umu"" they mutter approvingly.
"But since he needs both, what he needs most is!
A Bro fist! He both plays and feels loved at once! Im a genius!"
Shouts smugly witch his chest pushed forward and his hands placed on his sides, his eyes closed. Satisfied with his answer.
But his state quickly breaks down as Eric facepalms.
"No. Igarashi is lost right now, he might be on the streets! or fell down some chairs and hurt his leg! What he need right now is a hero to find him!" Says Eric exaggeratedly. His right fist raised in front of him.
'"""ooohhh!...""" respond the toddlers with stars in their eyes sparkling.
"But there are no heroes here! So can you understand what we need to do?"
"Call one?" responds Akemi. to Eric's displeasure.
"No! We go save him ourselves, for today we are on a mission! As heroes!" Eric says elevating the mood.
"Heroes!" said Angelica happy at the word. Not having fully understood what Eric said. But blindly happy at the mention.
"Great pass Eric! Lets go save Igarashi! As heroes!" shouts Akemi elated.
"HM! Just wait for me Igarashi! Older sis Aki is coming for you!".
"Lets go! Save Igarashi! The faster the better!" says Eric as he leaves through the door.
3 little heads following behind him like baby ducks.
"heh.." Hiroto smiles seeing the whole ordeal from a seat at the side of the yard.
Kids.
What a lively bunch.
