NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Brutal Training
So, the Romance partner list falls down to :
>Maki Zenin
>Mai Zenin
>Kasumi Miwa
>Momo Nishimiya
>Nobara Kugisaki
>None.
That's all I guess. MC can't realistically fall in love with older gals, since he was himself 19 before he died, and all the other girls would be in their 30s. Well it could happen, but it's gonna be a pain to write.
From here on out, there will be small quick timeskips to quickly follow through Todo's childhood.
Enjoy~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Todo's POV)
27 September, 2007, about 127 km away from Tokyo.
Yuki's seems to be in a bad mood today. She didn't really show it on her face, but I could see it in her actions.
I mean, she was literally using Garuda as a whip while riding her signature motorcycle, to whip me whenever I ran slower than the motorcycle itself.
I had been running for over 1.7 hours straight, without stopping, at full speed. So, of course I was exhausted. My muscles were screaming in pain every single time I moved my body.
And it wasn't just my lower body muscles, even my torso was screaming in pain. Especially my kidneys. I don't know why, but I always felt funny in my kidneys whenever I ran more than what my stamina allowed.
Yuki even took me to a doctor one time, the poor doctor was more focused on her than me. But, he still checked me and declared that I was fine.....
The worst part about this was, that this was a normal occurrence. But, the fact that she hadn't hit me for 5 minutes straight, had me guess that she was in some deep thought.
We were running around some city near tokyo right now. If my hunch was correct, she had probably gone and had that 'talk' with Geto already.
But, it didn't really matter to me since I had to run....Damn it, it hurt like a damn bitch each time she hit me....
[Around an hour later]
Huff Huff.....These were the sounds I make when I am tired.... Quite an unique sound eh?
"Yuki Sensei...What should I...do now?...."
The large gap in my words was due to me needing to breathe.
My muscles were spasming all around, but I had to push on, otherwise she's literally gonna throw me off of a cliff.....I wonder how I was able to survive it the first time.....
And I called her Yuki sensei, cuz she just told me to call her whatever I wanted, and these two words just stuck with me. It was better than calling her 'Tsukumo Sensei' or the plain old 'sensei'.
"Use your Boogie Woogie continuously to swap with Garuda. He'll be flying around, so don't mess up." Her voice was different from usual right now....
Well shit. The normal cheerful and unhinged Yuki has gone for now eh....I guess I was right. She's still thinking about Geto's 'talk'.
[74 minutes later]
*Clap*
I switch with Garuda, who was flying into the tree. I had to turn my body mid air to avoid the worst case scenario.
*Clap*
I switch with Garuda again, who was now in the air. Why did I twist my body to adapt to previous position if I was gonna switch anyway? It's because of the worst case scenario.
If I wasn't able to swap quick enough, I would have become heavily injured due to various factors, so better be safe than sorry.
*Clap*
I switch with the shikigami in the midair once again, my vision spinning this time, which caused me to panic a bit. I was still trying to adapt to quick changes in spacial coordinates, especially with different spacial arrangements. That was the literal reason for this type of training after all.
Just as I was about to fall on the ground, Yuki catches me by the shirt and says loudly in my ear.
"Oi kid, it's practice time now. Evade with all you got, if you don't wanna die~" Welp, playful Yuki was back again....
I didn't even get a second to adjust as she throws me to a tree. And as the tree continued coming closer to my vision second by second, I could even see Garuda trying to intercept me mid flight from the corner of my eye. It would hurt quite a lot, if I didn't swap right now. So....
*Clap* x 2
I clapped two times in quick succession to swap my places with Yuki, who was looking a bit bored at the time. The second clap was to swap myself back with Garuda, effectively allowing me to be above her.
"Oi, You're not allowed to switch with the normal objects for now, 'k?" She says while moving her eyes smoothly to mine, while mid air....
I failed to take one thing into account, it was about how damn easy it was for a special grade sorcerers like Yuki to turn their body in mid air to intercept me.
I don't understand how the hell she was able to almost kick me mid air....Oh well....
*Clap*
I switch places with Garuda a few moments before her kick conneced, and that shikigami smoothly coils around her leg, floating similarly towards her torso. Then it rushes at me again.
That kick would've definitely broken a few bones, and that was considering her not even using her cursed technique, Star Rage.
Her technique, Star Rage, allows her to imbue imaginary mass on herself or her shikigami, Garuda, allowing her to easily bring out unimaginable destructive force, without actually changing her 'true' mass.
If she did use that, I'd probably explode...*Shiver*
Oh well, I'll just keep her in the air, away from me then....
*Clap* x 24
I continuously switch myself, Garuda and Yuki in a random fashion. But, in the end, she somehow adjusts to it.
She was able to get near Garuda during those swaps and she used the small time frame of the claps to use Garuda as a platform and rush at me before I was able to clap again, and throws a punch at me, which was now inches away from connecting with my chest.
The smirk on her face, at winning this game of cat and mouse against me, a damn kid, was irritating. My hands were so close to connecting, but even if they do, the speed at which her punch was coming was enough to injure me before I switch.
So I try a new thing. I close my eyes, harder than they would normally. My eyelid clashes with my skin and.....
Nothing happens, even after I tried putting in a humongous amount of cursed energy to activate my technique with that small gesture....
And since nothing happened, Yuki's punch connected with my chest, and almost at nearly the same time,
*Clap*
I switched with Garuda. But it was still a failure in the end, since my chest now had a fresh bruise....I don't understand what sort of satisfaction she gets by hitting kids.....sigh.
I make some painful noises while getting up. At least I didn't break a bone....I'll take a bad bruise rather than a broken bone any day. Those things take eons to heal....
"You survived for more than 200 hundred seconds Kid! You're getting quite strong, eh?~"
Why does she have to tease me in everything? Especially with a new pose each time..... I'm not an hormonal teenager yet, so it doesn't really do anything to me. And well, dying once can lower carnal desires....who knew?
I sigh. I wanted to dodge that punch at any cost, but I didn't have much time to think....I could've tried to reduce the damage by coming forward at the last moment and breaking the momentum of the punch midway....Or I could've even moved a bit backwards, allowing me some more time to clap, though I don't think it'd work, due to the sheer speed at which she had come...
Oh well, It's time for eating and more physical training I guess....
[A few Hours later]
(General POV)
A tired and bruised kid could be seen sitting at the back of a motorcycle, his hands encircling a young Woman's torso, who was wearing a black helmet and black goggles , in her early 20's, driving towards a hotel.
If we could look close enough, we would be able to see a small faint smile on her pink lips, as she hummed a tune, while driving into the sunset.
Such a serene and peaceful scene.....only if it could last for more than just a few years.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That part was a sneak peak into what the Future Todo will be capable of. And this brutal training isn't too over the board....I think.
Her training was said to be the most effective and hardcore in the JJK world after all.
Anyway, if you notice small inconsistencies, do comment them, and I'll try to rectify them.
Anyway, give your opinions in the comments.
