Target 17 - Lightning and Cloud: Flames Pt. 4

Tsuna's POV:

I walked around Vongola mansion, happily humming away. I didn't seem to have any paperwork (which is a miracle because I always have some form of it) so I decided to go around the mansion. Lambo is probably with his rookies.

It sounds weird putting it like that- Lambo, no matter how mature or powerful he may seem even if he is my guardian, is still a child. Only eight years old. To be fair, Fuuta was in the mafia long before he was eight, but he had a special ability and somehow got roped in so that doesn't count.

Point is, Lambo is eight and shouldn't really be tutoring students more than twice his age when he couldn't really be trusted to take care of himself. Although, he never ceases to amaze me with how much he can get done when he puts his mind to it.

It's Thursday now, day four of week three in Vongola mansion for the students. While Lambo teaches his rookies about the lightning flame (which he might need Verde to explain in further detail- I was also surprised when Reborn had gotten the lightning arcobaleno to supervise), Colonnello and Lal trained them.

Reborn joined in as well, as evident by the odd scream or yell every so often which resounded across the mansion. Hibari had also decided to take his three rookies on as well, meaning that tomorrow- day five -would just be Mukuro and Chrome with their rookies.

Before they all went back to training, of course. The first place I decided to go to was the lab, where Verde was seen cooped up in on his worst and best days. Actually, he just doesn't leave it at all.

Ever. Unless I'm cooking; other than that, then no. He somehow goes to the T&I department sometimes for his experiments, but other than that he stayed in his lab. I knocked on the door before entering, seeing Lambo sitting on one of the tables.

Verde was slouched in his chair, typing away at his keyboard and scribbling notes every so often. There were three rookies in front of the pair, sitting quietly. I seemed to have interrupted them since Verde looked over in slight surprise before turning back to his notes.

"Don't mind me. I'm just doing rounds- you can continue explaining whatever you were before I came," I told them. Verde nodded and so did Lambo, before continuing to suck on his grape flavoured lollipop. I sat down on the side desk, being able to see them all clearly.

"Lightning flames are quite versatile in battle- there's the bonus of electrocuting your enemy if you use them on someone, but lightning flames also possess the hardening factor which strengthens weapons and armour which are coated in them."

"The unique factor which every flame has is vital to a certain skill, but lightning flames are by far the best in terms of combat and defence opportunities- using these flames to create a barrier around a particular area isn't hard, but you have to recharge the barrier every once in a while with your lightning flames."

"However, it is definitely rewarding. The barrier, if created with strong lightning flames like mine, this brat's or Tsunayoshi's, then it is theoretically impregnable; no one can break through it as long as the lightning flames are regenerated regularly."

"It also works on weapons and armour, as I have experimented with. 90% of the weapons I chose to experiment on, took up to 5000 newtons of force until they broke. The other 10% were able to take 5500 newtons of force until they broke- it was intriguing. I did, of course, find someone who had a lower strength of flame than I do."

"The person who coated the weapons had an average flame strength, which three out of you have while the last person has a flame strength of slightly above average. I will have to explore this at... a later date."
