Juusan Tensai: The Story Of Kayui (Rough draft)

Part 18: Application

"Application of a new form in your abilities can be extremely difficult for some, but the difference in strength when you figure it out is worthwhile." Said Mr.Hong to the class.

"So today we'll be studying the basics of it so it can be easily accomplished by you." He said while passing out books.

"What's something you applied to your abilities Mr. Hong." said a girl sitting in front of me.

"My altitude is unique I don't have a true element kind of like Kayui, It's different. My element is Muscle manipulation." He said glancing over to me.

"In simple terms, I can make myself stronger at will to a certain extent. There are drawbacks though. Overuse will shred my muscle fibers." He explained.

"Yeah my abilities are pretty similar," I said.

"Yeah, but back to the main topic. At first, I purely used my ability to bulk up as much as possible."

"After reading and researching I learned more about how the body works and now I can refine them for certain situations. This also puts less stress on them at the same time"

"Doing this made me exponentially more powerful than before. Everyone's altitude is different though so find your own thing." Said Mr.Hong relaxing in his large chair.

"Alright our turn," I said to myself.

I read through the book for a while and asked around the class. I struggled to find anyone who had similar abilities to me.

The closest to me was Mr.Hong but I can't exactly apply that to me. I feel like I'm pretty good at refining my ability anyway.

"Take inspiration from other people. Legends in history and adapt something from them" Said Mr.Hong to a few students gathered around his desk.

I always admired the original head of the Hong family. An ancestor of Mr.Hong. His insane healing factor made him almost unstoppable in battle.

I've studied many of his battles over time. He specialized in weapons like most of the Hong clan.

He healed so fast that he was basically invincible. The one who defeated him was extremely powerful.

He torched every cell in his body before he could regenerate. I heard he had a connection with my father.

Some say Roku, a friend of Makils one the strongest in our area is a spitting image of him.

But those are only rumors. I'd have to research more to confirm anything.

Regardless that won't help me with finding my abilities.

[After school]

"What's your plan Kayui? You've already done this once it should be easy for you," said Modoru walking beside me.

"I have? I don't remember doing anything like this. In all honesty, I'm struggling miserably." I replied.

"When you defeated that beast in The Tower, remember? You made a new skill. A branch to even more things that you wouldn't have learned before but are assets in your skillset now." He exclaimed with an unusual amount of excitement.

"You okay?" I said curiously.

"Yeah, I'm just excited for my turn. Ya know?" he said stuffing his hands into his pockets with a smile.

"I guess we'll see soon then," I said back warmly.

[A Week Later]

"Let's put your work to the test. Today you'll be showing what you've learned. Mr.Hong said.

Everyone got excited and started chattering.

"Your opponent will be me." He said sternly.

"First off, Mister tournament. Kayui step up."
