why so high? flying was considered among the easiest things to learn with KI

The system that governs Ki in this roleplay is the main reason. As time goes on our power levels are going to increase anyways so 250 for flying is a small thing. Its no big deal if you don't start out with flying because your Ki will raise so you can do it. You can easily alot Ki into flying so you can have the ability to start with, just a matter of what you wish to do at the start. From what I understand the system is just to keep things flowing smoothly and keep it fair between all characters. Technically speaking though it was never defined in the show how much Ki it really did take to have the levitation ability, so for anyone knows it very well could take a higher amount of Ki to do so but the system does not follow the show itself.
