Keiichi listened as Mike thanked him and Keiichi just gave a nod. "You are most welcome. I could not simply leave you to the fate of your pursuers without giving you a means of fighting back to protect those you care about." Then the question of the scroll came up, Keiichi raising an eyebrow when Mike mentioned that he could learn said technique from the scroll instantly, but destroying it in the process of doing so. "Well... to be honest that is just a copy of the original, which is several centuries old. I mainly wanted it back because of that and I wish for the knowledge on it to be kept where I took it from, but if your power destroys it when you learn from it then by all means, go ahead and do so."

When Mike touched the scroll he would receive the following message.



This seemed to be a bit different from a Skill Book in its description, but hopefully it would give the same affect. Unfortunately when Mike tried to learn it by pressing the button upon the window asking him if he wanted to learn it when he touched the scroll again, the following window would appear.



It appeared that for now that Mike could not learn this Skill, but could do so once he achieved one more point in his Strength score, which needed to go up anyway if he wanted to use Zandaka to its fullest potential.
With Neo Bahamut 's powerful wings he was easily able to shield Reno/Oner from any lasers that happened to head in their direction as he continued to easily slash, stomp, and bash away Cy-Bugs and Heartless with same said wings as well as his mighty claws, his feet serving to crush any Cy-Bugs that had the misfortune of being beneath the mighty dragon when he stomped the ground that they were on. Both Reno and Oner were focusing upon recharging their Mana a bit more quickly with their Meditation ability, doing nothing but that while Neo Bahamut took care of any Cy-Bugs that came after them while they sat upon the dragon's shoulder.

Soon enough Reno shot up from sitting position, floating in standing now on, or in Reno's case a tiny bit above, the dragon's shoulder. One more Giga Flare with an added twist would hopefully destroy enough of these Cy-Bugs to help the others. Energy began to gather in Bahamut's mouth now as Reno first added the power of his own Dark Mega Flare to the mix, Oner manifesting and contributing a Diaja before Reno re-manifested after that. Now the energy that was building was emanating both darkness and light from it at the same time. Soon enough the mighty dragon reared its head backwards and, with a mighty roar that sounded forth from all around, unleashed the powerful attack on a very large horde of Cy-Bugs below.

Needless to say, the resulting blast took the rest of both Oner and Reno's Mana away despite the fact that they had just recharged since they gave the dragon all that they had remaining to power up the already very powerful Giga Flare even more. A mighty blast that was infused with darkness and light tore through the air and slammed into the earth below, creating a mighty explosion that could probably be not only seen from far away, but sensed from far away as well by those who could sense either magical energy, darkness, and/or light.

After that Neo-Bahamut's body glowed with a red light before vanishing, Reno now manifested as he floated back down to the ground and landed next to Bahamut who was in his human form. His mask from before was now a darker red color instead of the normal blue and he simply stood behind Oner now, who with his Keyblade began batting away any Cy-Bugs that came towards him that happened to either survive or avoid the powerful Giga Flare, the pair now traveling and hoping to make it to where the others were now, Bahamut not fighting in his human form, but instead just simply dodging any attacks that came his way. He was silent the entire time, not making a sound at all.

Eventually Oner did meet up with the others, running towards them, Bahamut right behind him. "Is everyone alright?" He asked as he approached Thomas and the others.
"Alright then, pay close attention then." Normally Keiichi would have given them proper Kendo armor to wear, but this was training for Ability Users. Naturally limits had to be pressed and risks had to be taken. Sure Keiichi would make sure not to try and severely hurt Mike, not that he knew the extent of how Mike's HP thing worked since Mike seemed to be able to get up just fine after taking hits that should, and would under any normal circumstances, break bones. Currently it was around 3:30 PM or so, only being about an hour and thirty minutes or so left until they would have to leave.
Mike Senshin no Ken Training: 64 - 16 Senshin no Ken (Dex) = 48
It took about the rest of the time they had for this vigorous training, but soon enough Mike had down the basic movements of the Senshin no Ken style itself and felt like he could fight with them instead of just basic weapon knowledge like he had been doing so before, two windows appearing before him. Mike's HP would have taken some hits and would be incredibly low, but it never dropped below 1 since Keiichi was holding back and always making sure to step back and take a few minutes whenever Mike looked much worse for wear in terms of general fatigue and damage since the pain of wounds stayed until HP was healed.





Not only that, but Zandaka, Katana Mastery, and Physical Endurance all rose up in level by 1, making Mike a small bit stronger once again. "You did good, you even almost got a couple of blows on me that time, you're getting better, but do note that you still have a long way to go." Keiichi sheathed his own Bokken back upon his waist. "Tomorrow you will come here for Kendo Practice and meet the rest of the Kendo Team. It'll be a while before we can train like this one on one again, so I hope that the next time we can meet alone face to face you will have gotten a good bit stronger." Keiichi reached into the pocket of his hakama and removed a bound and rolled up scroll, handing it to Mike in a respectful way, in both hands with a small bow added.

"I shall entrust you with this. It is a scroll containing knowledge of the next technique, which I believe you are ready to learn, but I do not have enough time to teach it to you unfortunately and you look like you need to rest for the day before we train anymore." This was indeed true since Mike would be very tired and incredibly sore and in pain thanks to how low his HP was currently. "I will require though that you keep the scroll secret and return it either the next time we meet face to face or once you have learned the technique."

Once Mike accepted the scroll, hopefully doing so in the same respectful manner, Keiichi would stand back up. "Before you do go though, I do need to tell you the fatal flaws of Zandaka before you find out yourself the hard way. The first is that this technique, while strong, requires the state of your Body, Mind, and Spirit to all be in sync. If any one of those wavers slightly, the technique will be disrupted, and enemies do have ways of disrupting these. The second flaw is that Zandaka balances and thus through that merges the strengths of your body and spirit with the mind. Naturally because of this, the strengths and energies of your body and spirit are 'one'. Spells and other various powers or techniques do exist that can drain your physical or spiritual strength away. While this technique is active, whatever happens to your physical strength will also happen to your spiritual strength since, while this technique is active, they are the same 'pool' of strength." After explaining the flaws of Zandaka Keiichi gave Mike a few moments to take it in before asking the following.

"Do you have any questions or anything to ask before we depart for the day?"
Yep, I managed to not only escape, but I also single-handedly took down their entire alien empire using only a toilet plunger, a spork, and a whole lot of cheese puffs.

Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty sight.

Even if his past wasn't that interesting, Elim didn't see the need for him to disclose it with everyone there. Elim didn't require any new clothing from the Prince since he was already prepared, his armor and whatever other clothing he had on beneath it helping to shield him from the cold rather easily, a scarf wrapped around his neck and loosely around his mouth to help keep the chill of the winter's air out of his lungs, something that was a bit detrimental in combat and something that these other people weren't really considering. Well, it wasn't Elim's problem if they died, but then again it also could be since Elim didn't know how to pilot the Gummy Ship or whatever it was called.

"My name is Elim, that is all you need to know about me." His voice was a tiny bit stifled by the scarf, but it was pretty clear what he said, and in the tone he said it the boy sounded as though he didn't want to be bothered with petty conversation as he continued to move forward with the others. "Also I don't know if its the same here, but wintry regions like these tend to house more than just those Heartless creatures. We should also be on the lookout for wolves and any other form of arctic creature." Elim was silently hoping that there would be no ice wyrms or other such deadly creatures here. He also hoped that this world didn't house any Frost Giants or even Elder Frost Elementals, since this was apparently a sorcery conjured ice storm. Elim figured as long as they didn't run into anything like that, then they would be fine.
Posted for both Mike and Lucian.

Also going to be adding Extra Notes sections to everyone's CS that display special game mechanic notes that will help me so I don't have to constantly calculate things.
"The Void Wizard?" Saito's eyes widened a little bit as Lucian said this, Ren raising an eyebrow from Saito's reaction. "The better question is, who hasn't heard of the Void Wizard..." He seemed to be quite taken aback that the Void Wizard actually visited them, or just Lucian for this matter. "As you may know this city is divided into several districts. There are different large groups that either protect or work in each district. The Ban Family, for starters, protects the Residential District, making sure that no one does anything nefarious in or with the area of the Residential District. The Void Wizard is just a single person, so powerful though that he is his own group or 'clan', protecting the Port Island District all by himself with how powerful he, or she, is. No one knows who he or she is though..."

Then Saito noticed the money that Lucian removed from his inventory. "Yep, that'll do it. Surprised at how quickly you got this... you get a new job or something?" He took the money and put it into his pocket. Of course, he decided to answer Lucian's questions first before Lucian answered his. "I know that there are Pseudospaces that are capable of compressing time."

"Like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball Z... if you know what that is?" Ren's voice was a little quiet as he said this and as he interrupted, Saito giving a nod.

"People without a knowledge of magic or how to make different kind of Pseudospaces use Pseudospace Stones enchanted to create them. Pseudospace Stones are special stones that when imbued with certain kinds of magics or special magical materials can create special types of Pseudospaces. Although it is possible to make these spaces yourselves, you would have to be incredibly powerful, so its probably best to use a stone for now. Although with your power... you could learn how to create one yourself without the need for a stone, but I have no idea how your power works."

Then the part about them training here came up. "You don't have to pay me for the room, just let me have a good amount of any items we find and that'll be your payment. Plus, I would like to get more EXP as well."

Ren raised his eyebrow here.

"I want to see if I could Level Up using your power and get Stat Points... as it would be interesting if you could train regular Ability Users with your power and let us know just how deep your power runs." Saito chuckled a little bit.

Ren gave a nod. "I guess we could Party Up... but I think we can only have 6 people in a party... so we would probably have to make a new party." Ren checked the Party Window by saying said command, giving a nod of confirmation. "Indeed, we have to make a new party... but I am sure we could do that..." Well, Ren did have one idea, but he wasn't sure if Mike would like it or not. Well, he could invite him back into the party via Friend's List in a bit. He send Mike a PM and removed him from the party.

"Alright then, ill get the room ready, see if we can't fight slightly tougher Elementals." With that, Saito walked over to the bookshelf and flashed his ring over it, that same door appearing. He then looked back and got a tiny bit startled when that same window appeared before him of a party invite. "Man that's abrupt..." He accepted the invite and then opened the door. "Any questions though before we go inside?"
Keiichi raised his eye as Mike somewhat 'chanted' the name of the technique or something. "Voice activation of abilities... and the fact that you are using it with no trouble now, even if it is a bit weak right now. Your power is certainly something to be admired." Indeed, Mike would now notice that the moment he used the skill it felt so much more natural now, this increase in power. Unlike before when he had to somewhat focus all of his concentration into it now he felt like he was just using the technique as though it were second nature, and the power of it was much more present within him now then it was before.

His Str would be boosted to 19 and his Wis to 23, if he checked, as the values rounded down apparently. When he moved and struck, he would feel that his swing was much stronger now than it was before, Keiichi readying himself to block the attack.
Mike Sword Swing: 53 - 11 Skill Bonus - 11 Melee Weaponry = 21
Keiichi unfortunately managed to parry the blow aside, but the moment he parried he seemed to have instead attacked the blow with his block and threw his own powerful sword swing towards Mike's center all in one singular, flowing movement, although Mike wouldn't have seen it with how fast it was, his defense rendered practically useless with this one move.
Keiichi Counter(?): -6

Max Damage Hit!

Damage Dealt: 77
The blow would be incredibly powerful like before, maybe even moreso thanks to whatever Keiichi just did, but what with what might have been just a single movement Mike was thrown somewhat across the room with an incredibly heavy and powerful hit, a large chunk of his HP down, but he wasn't even down to half with that blow unlike the last time when he had lost nearly all of his HP when Keiichi had attacked him. It was thanks to Mike's own Zandaka though that he felt the blow wasn't as heavy on him as it should have been, the increase to Str that it gave him from his Wis score probably responsible for raising his Resilience. Even his HP and MP had gone up when he used Zandaka. It truly was a powerful technique to say the least.

"Good, I can tell that you are a good bit stronger now than you were before, much stronger." He took a few steps towards Mike, helping him up off the ground. "Zandaka is a powerful technique to say the least, but it only increases your power. You have yet to learn the movements and motions of the Senshin no Ken needed for the other Techniques, like what I just did now. That, is what we shall be practicing for the rest of our session, how to fight with this as a sword style rather than simply fighting using a weapon like you seem to be doing now."

With that, Keiichi raised his own Bokken. "Ready yourself and I will come at you once you are ready. Its only going to get rougher from here..."

Mike did receive both a PM and a notification though after Keiichi had finished speaking.



Mike would begin to focus himself, focusing on not only merging his physical and spiritual strengths, but also balancing them as well. However the two 'stats' that covered the 'Strengths' of them, which he would feel now were actually his Wisdom, for spirit, and Strength, for physical strength obviously, as he focused and attempted this task, were somewhat really off balanced. He would feel like this was a bit harder than it should have been because of this, but then again it probably wasn't as easy as it sounded in the first place.
Mike Focus: 66 - 33 Focus = 33
It was quite difficult to get a grasp on, merging of 'energies' and 'strengths' within oneself, and Mike would have a very tough time pulling it off. It took a few very long, what may have been minutes but it was hard to tell, bit of meditation and focus on what Keiichi taught him. Soon enough though he would feel this balance and merging of physical and spiritual strength and energy within himself, his MP draining a good bit during his attempt to learn this technique.

"Good... it seems you understand the basics of Zandaka."

Mike would receive two windows stating the following.





"You seem to have gotten a small bit stronger as well... interesting. I want you to use this technique and attack me. You must practice Zandaka before you are ready to learn the next technique." With that, Keiichi raised his own Bokken, Mike able to definitely feel that Keiichi was probably always using Zandaka.
Oh, by the way, Allereun's fear wore off last turn.
