Duone asked in a nervous tone:"So, uh, what are we gonna do now?"
"We're gonna do a lot of emotional training, so I get to know you, it's part of the program." he answered.
The young man makes a confused face at the older titanic sized person:"What and how does that have to do with me beating up bad guys with cool powers?"
GoLem looks annoyed:"Shut up and listen to me kid, once we do this program you'll get why we wanted to do this, you're not even ready yet for Prozent." he sits down on the ground and continues:"I think a history lesson must be due though..."

"Not even that long ago, a meteor hit earth, it did not hurt the Planet much, but once humans found it, it released some sort of powerful shockwave that went across the whole world, after the shockwave people all over the world received strange powers, those were "Prozent" all of them ranging from standard to pretty unique, some not dangerous, but others being able to level an entire building or even a city. As with almost all other scenarios where humanity receives an almost godly power, evil plants yet another seed, resulting in chaos and war for years.
Suddenly, with all the villainous and rightful people fighting, the meteorite had transformed into something, a large monster we called:"Legion", it rampaged across a whole continent, destroying everyone and everything in its path, even with all the humans defending, none of then were even a match for this monstrosity...
Until one day, a man appeared that could rival such immense power, he fought against that beast days upon days, giving his all every moment he had left. In a final clash of Justice and Chaos, our hero coming out victorious and having slain the monster, after that, dying himself, he was celebrated as a worldwide hero and was set as an example for other peacemakers, the world was once again safe."

"And that's the Event we call ''The War against Legion'' in kind of a nutshell, I even fought in it." says GoLem, as he ends the story.
Duone gives a shocked look to the old timer:"Jeez, that sounds awesome looking but terrible, wish I could have met that guy! Seemed badass!!"
"Oh trust me, he was." says GoLem as he stands up:"I assume the old man in the Village told you the rest?"
Duone answers:"Eyup! I wanna kick those guys' butts with cool powers and an awesome team!"
The gigantic man breaks out in laughter again:"GAHAHAH! That's still so hilarious, sorry kiddo but are you really serious? I mean, people say believing is your greatest strength, but lemme tell ya, it's not."
Duone looks at him, sulking:"Talk about cruel, can we start training now?"
"Fine," he sits down in front of him again:"what gives you power? Which emotion makes you feel full of energy?"
Duone makes a weird thinking position and says:"Well, the fact of beating bad people up, determination and saving people!"
The young man's determined face turns into a serious face after GoLem says:"Well, imagine, what if I had a hostage in this cave right there, and you had to get past me to save that person, could you do it? Are you able to get past me?"
Duone stands up breathing slowly:"Well, old man, let's see!!"
He makes a cross with both his arms, then pulls both of them down as if he wanted to do a cross slash.
. . .
Nothing happened.
Duone shouts annoyed:"Oh come on you stupid power! Work damnit!"
GoLem stands up and looks at him disappointed:"Well, that didn't quite work, look kiddo, I think this will be a rough start, I don't know what the problem may be though..."
Duone says in an upsetting tone:"Oh man! Why is this so hard sudd-"
He gets cut off as a voice shouts:"FOOLS!!!! YOU HAVEN'T DEFEATED ME YET!!!" It's (of course) the Weak Ninja from before.
Duone and GoLem say in Unison:"Who the heck are you?"
The Ninja looks pissed and shouts with his nasely voice:"IDIOTS!!! I AM THE FABLED WEE- *sniff* oops sorry" he blows his nose:"Ehem, I AM THE FAMED WEEBINJA!! AND THROUGH MY LEGIT ZENKAI BOOST I HAVE COME BACK TO DEFEAT YOU, BANANAHEADED FOOL!!!"
GoLem looks unimpressed and yawns:"Wow, kiddo, he's fodder, take him."
Duone looks at him with an unsure face:"You sure? This Prozent thingy won't turn on..."
The big man smirks at him:"Just do it, kid."
Duone, with a queasy feeling in his stomach looks back at GoLem, but soon ignores that feeling.
"I have to believe!" he thinks:"Be determined!! This is nothing!"

He closes his eyes and does the same cross-armed stance as before, he knows he's in danger, he knows he might not be able to do it, but...
He's too determined not to do it.
His arms get cold, there's a thick layer of ice slowly building on it, as it finishes, he does the cross slash movement again, now backed up with a cracking sound made by the ice.
His Prozent reached 3%.
"Okay Mister Whatever, let's do this!!"
