Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

New Heights

Somewhere In the deserted island

Renaldo had regained his consciousness and was on the ground. He didn't sense anything inside him at all, he felt normal.

[Renaldo] I don't feel any different.

[Kinoshiba] That's because you haven't grasped your ability just yet.

[Renaldo] What did I get?!

[Kinoshiba] You'll see. Follow after me. I want you to close your eyes and concentrate. Think of your body as a generator, creating and storing up energy. I want you to imagine a force inside your body that is traveling throughout it.

Renaldo slowly felt his body heat up.

[Kinoshiba] Now, I want you to take that feeling and imagine that force traveling into your fist. Do you feel it?

[Renaldo] Yes. My fist feels very warm.

[Kinoshiba] Now I want you to raise your arm and face your palm outwards. Now, imagine that force gathering in your palm and blasting out the center.

Renaldo opened his eyes and he felt the energy shoot out of his hand, however, only a tiny stream of water leaked out of his palm and onto the ground. Renaldo started to smile and his eyebrows lowered.

[Renaldo] This is so nice! Isn't it? I can piss out of my hand now! See this?! When have you seen anyone do that?!

Renaldo was extremely frustrated and sarcastic.

[Kinoshiba] Don't worry, you'll soon be able to increase your output and the amount of energy you can generate and store. It won't be a large amount and soon you can develop your own techniques.

[Renaldo] I hope so, cause this piss stream isn't gonna do much. Someones gonna be fighting me and then what? Yeah I'll just piss on them, that'll get them to run away or something.

A couple hours later - 6PM

Kairo and Muigetsu met up with Yokeitanto in the grass plains.

[Yokeitanto] Are you two ready to get started?

[Both] Yes sir!

[Yokeitanto] There's only two trees left in these plains. Show me what you've learned and the skills you've honed while I was away. Kairo, you're up first.

Kairo walked over to the tree and drew his sword. He loosened his grip on the blade and raised it up. He closed his eyes and focused, he thought back to the time where he was cutting bamboo at Monkai along with the other students. He took a deep breath and exhaled as he sliced. Yokeitanto was shocked by the form of the slice and the striking speed and accuracy. His technique had overall improved since the last time he'd seen him. However, when he struck the tree, his blade made it just about halfway into the tree. Despite this, Yokeitanto was speechless.

[Kairo] *frustrated* Damnit! I thought I had it!

Yokeitanto, hardly able to comment on what he just saw, called for Muigetsu to go next.

[Yokeitanto] M-Muigetsu, you're next.

Muigetsu walked over to the other tree and planted his feet firmly on the ground. He drew his blade and raised it.

[Muigetsu] Watch this shit Kairo! I'm gonna show you how you cut this thing!

[Kairo] Yeah right!

Muigetsu struck down, damn near perfect form with his blade. His technique was flawless and his speed, timing, and accuracy was incredible. This also shocked Yokeitanto as he looked in utter shock. When his blade reached the tree, it made it about halfway into it before stopping.
