- Okay, what did you want to talk to me about, Enma? - Norman asks, standing in the training room with the samurai girl with her back to him.

- Norman Nakamura, you failed as a security guard, you know that, don't you? - Enma asks, with this question making Norman's eyes widen, but he lowers his head sadly.

- Yes... I know that.

- And what do you think about that?

- ...

- Norman Nakamura, I would like to know what you think about your defeat. - Enma says.

- That I am weak... I am still weak... this world, with this defeat I remembered that this world is huge, that since I joined Cover Corp it has expanded, underworld, heaven, Atlanteans, other dimensions and a bunch of other stuff... I forgot that, for sure, there must be very strong people out there and that's how... that's when I remembered that this world is huge... - Norman says, Enma seems to sigh in disappointment, about to turn to the security guard. 

- However, this showed that I can't stay behind!

- Huh?

- I may not be from another universe, a reaper's apprentice, a mythological creature, an Apex predator or know super powerful magic, I may not even be the strongest of humans but... but I don't want to leave everything on other people's shoulders! I'm going to get stronger to save Ina! - Norman says, with strength and determination in his eyes.

- I underestimated him - Enma thinks, almost having a hint of a smile on his face.

- It's good that you're like this, because today we're going to start training for you to develop your own skill. - Enma says, clapping his hands and raising his holographic board again, showing some symbols on the screen.

- You've fought some humans and realized that each of them had a unique ability in kijutsu, right? - Enma asks.

- Yes... one used baseballs and another uses a bar cup to gain fire powers, kijutsu powers are very strange. – Norman comments.

- That's a fact, the skills that we humans can develop are based on the shape of our soul and how it manifests its ki, which is intrinsically linked to our basic posture. – Enma speaks.

- My basic posture is? I'm from the armament. – Norman says, with the ki in his hands.

- Armament users are great at hand-to-hand combat, their skill is usually something that gives them support to cause massive waves of damage, help them in their martial art, compensate for some weakness and so on. – Enma says.

- Interesting... and how do I do that? – Norman asks.

- I don't know.

- D-don't know?! – The guard says indignantly.

- Each person develops their skill in their own way, Norman, I can't help you any more than that, it has to be something that comes from you, it's your ki, not mine. – Enma speaks, Norman looks thoughtfully looking at the ground. 

- But there are two things that are common to every skill and every kijutsu user uses in combat, which are the chant and the rules. - Enma says, pointing to the symbol of a man speaking and the symbol of a padlock.

- Chant... and rules?

- The Chant is simpler to explain, do you think we say the name of our attacks because? - Enma asks.

- Ahm... I thought everyone did that because it looked cool. - Norman says, scratching the back of his head, only to get hit by the ruler that Enma was using to teach.
