(Narrator)
We skip to the third week as we see Naoki and Hitoshi together as Hitoshi finally finds his balance.
(Naoki)
"Hmm.... Seems like you finally have it down."
(Hitoshi)
"It seems like it. I guess now you can teach fire magic now, can't you old man?"
(Naoki)
"It seems so. Now let's stand up and get to the basics!"
(Hitoshi)
"Right!"
(Narrator)
Now we go through a flash back of week two-day one. While Hitoshi was still at breakfast sitting next to Sadao.
(Hitoshi)
"So how come Naoki is the one teaching me?Not that I am complaining. Im just curious?"
(Sadao)
"Well he's the only one of us who is a natural fire elemental. Natural Fire Elementals are rare to see in a reaper. We haven't even seen one for at least a century."
(Hitoshi)
"So it's only me and old man Naoki?"
(Sadao)
"You two are the only ""Natural Fire Elemental"" . People here can use fire but because that is your natural ability you are stronger in that aspect than the rest of us. Once you've mastered your natural ability."
(Hitoshi)
"Woah"
(Narrator)
We return back to the present.
(Naoki)
"Are you ready Hitoshi?"
(Hitoshi)
"Yes sir"
(Naoki)
"Now then, your flame will be special according to how your will bring it out. There aren't a lot of fire elementals around so I'll show you what I can do but most examples will be used with the other SS. Now, I can control a flame that already exists but cannot manifest one directly. I'm what you would call a mimic. Being able to mimic the flame and change it to my will. There's another kind named appearents, they can make their element come from there bodies but they cannot mimic. The last one are called convergent and can do both what a mimic and an appearent can do.That's how you will start with your elemental training, by trying to figure out which one you are.Let's start your training."
(Hitoshi)
"Right!"
(Naoki)
"Now take this candle and place it on the ground in front of you and try to make the flame larger with only your will."
(Hitoshi)
"No problem!"
(Narrator)
As he sat there. The flame gets bigger but in the end it burns out.
(Naoki in his head)
"Hmm it seems he can mimic but he needs practice to be able to bend it to his will without it going out."
(Hitoshi)
"It went out but it did move! I saw it!"
(Naoki)
"It seems you can mimic now on to test your appearent skills. Now remember the feeling you had when you bent the flame. Try to do the same just without the flame, even a small flame will do."
(Narrator)
As he tries, nothing happens. He gives up on trying.
(Hitoshi)
"I can't do it!"
(Naoki)
"There is no need to feel bad because you can't. We need to hone your skills as a mimic.
Are you ready?"
(Hitoshi)
"Yes sir!"
(Narrator)
As they train for 3 whole days he has finally master bending flames to his will and has also slightly mastered the other two elements he has.
(Naoki)
"Alright it's time for a battle simulation. You will battle me. Now remember mixing your elements will help make your power stronger. Now show me the results of your training!"
(Hitoshi)
"Right! Here I come! PRESSURE MINIPULATION!!! HEAT!!!!
(Narrator)
—Pressure manipulation— a technique that Hitoshi came up with. It makes the air around his opponent rise in temperature making it hard to breath. This attack uses wind and fire.
(Naoki in his head)
"Hmm it looks like he's been practicing. Instead of creating a flame he boosts the heat that's already in the air to making it so the opponent brought down from heat exhaustion. Very clever."
(Hitoshi)
"Now, REAPER MAGIC! BOOST ATTRIBUTE!!
STRENGTH!!"
(Narrator)
As Hitoshi rushes in with his power punch. Naoki dodges it with no effect of the heat in the air. That is because he as well is a natural fire elemental.
(Naoki)
"Nice try sonny, but your gonna have to do better than than!"
(Hitoshi)
"Oh yeah? Well try this! EARTH PRISON!!!!
(Naoki in his head)
"Huh!?!? He wanted me to move from that spot. Knowing his pressure manipulation would have no affect. This boy has thought this through."
(Hitoshi)
"Now that your trapped. LAVA MOUNTAIN!!!
(Narrator)
Naoki breaks free from the earth and redirects the lava to Hitoshi in a move of his own called-
(Naoki)
"MAGMA FISTS!!!"
(Hitoshi)
"Ahhh !?!?!?"
(Naoki in his head)
"This boy has mastered his battle skills way faster than anyone I've ever seen. Even if he doesn't have the advantage, one slip up and I could get hurt."
(Naoki)
"Is that all you got?"
(Hitoshi)
"I'm just getting started old man! SUMMON REAPERS SWORD!"
(Naoki in his head)
"It seems he got a good run down of the memorial papers. He's able to summon weapons. He probably got that from Takeshi."
(Hitoshi)
"Haaaaaaa!!!!! CLOAK OF THE FLAME!!! BOOST ATTRIBUTE!!! SPEED! STRENGTH!"
(Narrator)
—cloak of the flame— allows Hitoshi to cover anything he wills in fire.
(Naoki)
"If I let that touch me it could really hurt better to dodge for now."
(Hitoshi)
"Where do you think your going! EARTH PRISON!
(Naoki)
"Ha you think you can get me with that again boy! Tough luck!"
(Hitoshi)
"LEVEL 2!!!"
(Narrator)
As Naoki gets captured again by a much larger and stronger prison Hitoshi lunges at him to strike with his sword.
(Hitoshi)
"Haaaaaa!!!!!"
(Naoki)
"Man this is gonna hurt!"
(Narrator)
But Hitoshi stops just before the blade makes contact.
(Hitoshi)
"It's only a sparing session. I don't wanna do damage just show what I know."
(Naoki)
"That will be your undoing! WATER CONFINEMENT!!"
(Narrator)
As Hitoshi is trapped in water. Naoki claims victory .
(Naoki)
"Don't let anyone win you fight until the other cannot go on and you never give up. Understand?"
(Hitoshi)
"Yes sir."
(Naoki)
"I'm going to let you go now."-let's go-" Now, just because you did not claim victory does not mean you did not do well. You did far better than I expected of you and I approve of your training. That means from now on you will have to train yourself and hone your skills to the maximum. One more thing, never.... Ever give up!"
(Hitoshi)
"Yes sir, I won't sir!"
(As the scene fades we end the chapter)
