Juusan Tensai: The Story Of Kayui (Rough draft)

Part 17: A New Goal

"That was rough," I said. "Yeah we're not prepared for anything higher" Kenko replied.

After last time I went out of my way to learn how to escape the tower in case of emergency.

Turns out it's as simple as going back through the door you started from

"I thinking going to rest up before I get too hurt before the tournament," I said to her. "Yeah, you might need it, But you have time. I wish I could be in too, but good luck."

The sophomore tournament. A battle for the right to participate in the Special Ops.

High school kids can't work for the country until they're junior year let alone special ops.

Soldiers in special ops are on a completely different level compared to our police force and military.

They're selected for the important missions. Just one could take on an entire police force by themself.

I was the only freshman picked to participate. I have no clue why maybe it's because of my brothers.

I'm not the most powerful in my grade. Other classes have some real monsters, but I'll take this opportunity to prove myself here in this school.

"Mom I feel a little better I'll be back" I yell out from the front porch of our decently-sized home identical to the others on our street.

"Okay Kayui be careful," she yelled back from the kitchen. "Food will
be ready when you come back."

I shoot off toward the mountains behind our small town. If I can't train I'll use this time to meditate. I've learned it's just as important.

Assessing the land I launch myself up the towering mountain to a flat space I saw at the top of a sturdy mountain of the many before me.

Dropping into the center I Calmly relax my mind and my body.

Before I could rest my eyes a figure jumped from below and swung a single-handed sword at my neck.

Quicky I Form a thick shell where the blade connects.

It bounces back but it still does a good amount of damage to my neck. I jump back to create a little space for me to think.

Three more figures appear from the same area two rush in at speeds I couldn't even comprehend.

I feel a palm on my stomach. Before I could react my entire body began pulsating from pain.

My insides feel like they're swelling up like a balloon. The man jumps away as my body falls to the ground. I catch myself before impacting the ground.

I notice the other three stand around the mountain top, containing me here.

The only one attacking though was the one before. I looked closely at the enemy before me. His eyes glowed with a purple hue.

The moment our eyes came in contact everything bided the ground I was kneeling on and the group before me began to melt away.

Before I could look back to the battle everything had gone black.

"Still too weak."

I wake up where I started. Back on top of the mountain top like nothing had happened.

[A couple of weeks later]

"Welcome back my students. Here we are in 9th grade." Said Mr. Hong. "This new wing is all ours so get used to it."
