The next day…
"Aerin it's time to get up," Arthur yelled upstairs.
Ok, ok. I'll be right down.
Later…
What's for breakfast old man?
"We are having oatmeal for breakfast," Arthur replied.
Sounds good.
I don't really like out meal but I'll eat it for him.
After breakfast…
Alright old man, I'm heading out I'll see you later.
"Be safe and have fun," Arthur replied.
At the training grounds…
"Alright, kids. So, to start off, do you know how we assassins and the other major powers came to be, and what our purpose is?" Mr. Sato asked.
It's said that one day a mysterious man showed up to a small city and asked about the monsters that lived here. That's about all I know.
"OK, so you got the gist of it. But that mysterious man was said to be the founder of Aru. He founded 16 great clans to combat the monsters of this world. Does anybody know what the monsters are and how many there are?" Mr. Sato asked.
I believe there are 16 monsters, and there are descendants of said monsters. The monsters are called the Eyed Beasts, right?
"Right on the money. You have some knowledge, Aerin. Well done," Mr. Sato said.
"There is the Cyclops, the Griffin, the Three-Eyed, the Four-Eyed Dog, the Sihuhata, the Bai Ze, the Cuegle, the Spider, the Hydra, the Omnidecem, the Argoundecim, the Astravidens, the Tredecimumbra, the Astralux, the Typhon, and the Magnus Sedecimdraconis. Those are all sixteen-eyed monsters. Each of the fifteen-eyed monsters has one of the sixteen-eyed monsters' powers. However, the more eyes a monster has, the more powerful they are," Mr. Sato explained.
"Thus the major powers were founded to help combat these beasts and maintain order in the world," Mr. Sato explained further.
"Anyway let's get started with today's training. Today you will be learning flash step. It is the skill we assassins use to make it seem like we are teleporting but rather we are just increasing our speed significantly for a explosive movement," Mr. Sato explained.
"All it requires is to put Aru into your legs and feet to physically enhance them, then make one explosive moment then return the Aru back to flowing in your body," Mr. Sato explained.
Anyway, let's get started. Give it a try," Mr. Sato said.
OK. Here goes nothing.
Aerin then concentrated on moving Aru to his legs and feet…
OK. I think I have gotten Aru in my legs and feet. Now time to use it to make one explosive movement.
And now.
Aerin then moved four meters faster than the eye could see…
Yes! That was awesome!
"Congratulations!" Mr. Sato said.
"Now we just need your friends to accomplish the same thing. Though I think that may take a little while," Mr. Sato said.
Aerin then looked over at Lio, Lyra, and Aelira, who had been trying to focus their Aru to their legs and feet for a long time…
To be continued…
