About six years ago, after a massive explosion of flames and debries in a training field, Kinto(13 years old) rushed toward Levi at break neck speed. Kinto had an excited grin on his face while his body was beat up "I've got you now!", he exclaimed. As his hands gathered a powerful amount of hot red heat and threw a punch with it, Levi scoffed with a smirk and grabbed the punch. The ground below them burned and melted with intense fire power as Levi had grabbed Kinto's fists despite the boy throwing all he had into that blow. Kinto was in shock "What the?!", Levi smirked "Okay, kid. My turn!", his arm charged up white energy, a nervous smile grew on Kinto's face "Oh shit, not good!", Kinto thought. In an instant, a massive explosion of white energy erupted and rocked the training fields. A few moments later, while Kinto and Levi were having a lunch break, Levi said to him "You went a little too off today. I mean, I know I tell you to go all out anyhow you want, but you went too crazy.", Kinto responded while eating a beef roll "Yeah, I'm sorry. I just wanted to test something out.". Levi was a little confused "Test something out?", Kinto explained "My dad, he was your teacher once. I'm sure before we took our tests into becoming full fledged young soliders, he most definitely wanted you of all people to be my teacher.", Levi thought nervously "He's right.". Kinto looked forward "Dad must have told you how mad I can be when it comes to training or fighting in general.", Levi replied "Yeah, he did. And to be honest, I don't blame him.", Kinto looked at Levi with a tad bit of confusion "You don't blame him?". Levi had a scared and nervous smile stretched on his face "Back when we were still students under Kito, he'd make Sughi and I dodge endless bullets and beams for 11 hours straight. I mean I understand why he would have used that level of training for Sughi considering Kito sensei learned under Mr Reggie(Sughi and Deo's father), but why me?!", Kinto replied bluntly "It's probably because you do well with weapons than anyone else in the city.", Levi sighed "True.". He continued to talk with Kinto "So? What was it you wanted to test?", Kinto looked down, he didn't reply immediately. Kinto spoke "I wanted to see if there was really a difference between me fighting in my normal head space and fighting when I'm starting to get unhinged. Each time I fight unhingedly with you or Alex, I feel so happy and relaxed, like i can do anything. But when I'm on missions, I feel like losing myself might be me going a bit too far. Especially with Sukuna and Baraka around me. I just... don't want to hurt anyone I really care about.". Levi looked at Kinto for a split moment before explaining "Look, Kinto. There's no problem with you losing your mind in battle. Most people do it because it's a natural response. Some soliders go psycho in fights because they've been exposed to viopence for too long. As for you, yours is natural.", he smirked at Kinto "And plus, you said you liked going crazy on me or Alex, your friend. Right? So tell you what. On missions, only go nuts when you feel the need to, as long as you are aware of yourself. And during sparing, you can go as crazy as you want with me and that Diablo's student. Got it?", Kinto seemed a bit annoyed "His name's Alex!", Levi teased "Yeah, sure.". In current time, in the wastelands that was once a lava scape, Kinto was layed on the floor while looking at the dark skies with clouds and a few stars gleaming in the sky. Kinto blinked and then sat up "What a weird dream. Why did I suddenly remember Levi sensei? I mean, it's been three years since he died.", he smiled softly "Looks like I won't be forgetting about you for a long time, Levi sensei.". Kinto looked at his right arm covered with the red mechanical glove he had created from Zenon's corpse. He stood up while remembering the fight he had with Zenon a few months ago "Who could have thought that was three months ago?", he muttered. Kinto snapped back to reality, his hand on his head with a dissapointed and tired look on his face "I went crazy and said all sorts of deranged stuff like turning him into a weapon and destroying anything that caused problems to the city.", he sighed again "Ah! One of these days I'm going to cross a hard line.". He kept walking forward, Kinto looked at his left arm that was wearing a grey glove. He blinked while looking at it "I made these gloves for the same purpose, the only difference is that they both operate differently. The one on my left arm is called [Cannon God], the other glove was the one I made from what was left of Zenon. And as for the pistol, that's something im saving for later. Hopefully I have a chance to use them all in this test thing.". As Kinto walked, he stepped on a trap, it was a glowing red symbol on the floor that glowed even brighter. Kinto's body felt a shaky, dark and cold sensation, his survival instincts were telling him something as he looked shocked "Oh no! I've stepped on a trap!", his thoughts spiralled "WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THE TRAP FIRST?!". Suddenly, a huge blast of lava shot from the ground, Kinto looked back with shock "Oh, shit!". The lava that shot from the ground formed into a giant standing bear that roared out "AAAAAAAAAA!". Kinto was even more stunned, he exclaimed "OH SHIT THAT THING IS HUGE!". The bear looked around, it noticed huge skeletal arms, legs and skulls that were made from rocks. Kinto looked around "What's it looking at?", he questioned himself before realising "Oh no. No wonder I didn't see them earlier! The skeletal parts on the floor are from the bears I killed, which means.....", the giant lava bear looked down at Kinto with rage "That's the mama bear!". The bear let out a large roar "ROOAAAAAAAAAAR!", the roar was so powerful that tornadoes of lava shot from her body and all over the wastelands. Huge waves of lava spreaded through hundreds of kilometres, lightning fell down like rain. The huge lava bear that was 10 kilometres huge roared in pain on seeing its dead babies. Kinto seemed nervous "Now I've done it.", he took a deep breath in and out before smirking "Well, I did say I wanted to test out these new gloves of mine. Let's make it count.".
