Hunter²
Chapter 2
Hunter Exam here we come!
Jin's Camp
A sense of peace was excluded from the forest.A bird chirped here and there . Some other animels woke up.
"DAMNIT. That hurts. Stop it.", bellowed an angry voice.
"Why should I? This is training Ranma. So stop complaining and start concentrating.", ordered another voice, though this voice was definetly older.
"The rocks I can understand. The pieces of wood I can understand. But I can't understand why you have to throw knives at me.", shoutet the younger voice
"It's relativ simple. You can only get better so much from easy training. To really get better you have to risk something. I thought you as an Martial Artist could understand this."
Ranma scowled and bit an angry retord back. For now non of the knives hat hit him. He had for the last 3 hours evaded every single knive thrown at him. Though some of the rocks hat hit him, but that was because Jin had thrown them faster then the knives. It was an fantastic training for speed but the problem was it wasn't purely meant for speed. He just couldn't figure out how to force his Aura out. The one hour he had had, had just been enough to get a feel for this strange energie.
'Ranko, do you know anything that could help?' thought an desperate Ranma.
'Not really. The village elders did know how to use their lifenergie but I wasn't advanced enough to be taught. I think you could manage to force it out through some meditiation.',came the reply from his companion.
'Well that's good to know if I survive this. I don't really have the time to meditate. Damnit he could atleast give me a good clue.'
Again Ranma jumped over a thrown knive. The grin had faded from Jin's face as he thought about the situation on hand.
'He doesn't even realise that for the last two hours he used his Aura to move faster. I wonder how long it takes till he starts understanding. Then we can go on to the funny stuff.', thought Jin, the grin having found it's way on his face again.
Slowly the minutes gave way to the hours as Ranma kept on dodging Jins throws.
'Shit, shit, shit. I have done nothing but dodging fo the last five hours. Wait a minute? Five Hours? How could it have been five hours? I should be gasping on the ground. Maybe. Could it has been Nen? Did I use it already? But why didn't he stop? Did I do it wrong? No if he said I had to force my Aura out. So that means he has to be able to see it. But right now he can't see it, that means I used it without realising it. I have to concentrate, maybe that will help.
Slowly he tried to let his body react on instict. He could fell somehting. It was on the rand of his awarness. It felt, at peace, protecting, like the feeling of being hugged. Slowly the feeling got stronger. The more he concentrated the stronger the feeling got.
'Ranko, I can fell it. It fills me. It's like I'm full that I could burst. It's wonderfull.'
'That's fantastic. Now force it out. I know you can do it. Come on Ranma.' Rankos voice sounded happy.
'OK here we go!'
Like in slowtime his awarness came back. Everything became clear again and it startet to become even clearer as before. A weak glow startet solify around him. It became stronger till...
"I dit it Jin" shoutet an overenthusiastic Ranma
"Good now let it go"
His Aura dissappeared instantly and he felt like he had just run a marathon.
"That was really good. For now rest. Tomorrow we will see what's your inborn ability."
"Inborn Ability?"
"The Nen user can be sortet into categories.
There is Kyouka, a Kyouka User makes his body or something else stronger.
Then comes Houshutsu, an user of Houshutsu can make his aura stay under control away from the body. Shooting aura, making aura fly, moving aura that's detached from the body.
There is also Sousa with which one can control objects or living organisms.
As fourth there is Gugenka, user of Gugenka can create objects out of one's aura.
The fifth is Henka, Henka Users Can change their aura's property.
And the last is Tokushitsu, which is basically anything that doesn't really fit into the other categories."
"So how do find out what's your catergory?"
"It's quite easy. You take a glass full of water and give a leaf into it. Than you see the reaction of your Aura with the water or the leaf and you know what would suit you best."
"Suit you best? Does that mean you can use the other ones even if you're in an other catergory?"
"Sure. You can use it. But you can never become as strong as someone who has it as his inborn ability. That's why one should stick to his category."
"Can we do the test now? Please, pretty please." And suddenly Jin Freeks, a Doublehunter extraordinary, found himself victim to the most powerfull technique on the world. The Puppy-dog-eyes.
"Well. You're sure you can force your Aura out after that training?"
His answer was an glow and smirk on Ranmas face as he forced his Aura out.
"Ok ok. Just stay here I will get a glass and some water and a leaf." With that he made his way to the back of the camp.
Mere seconds after he left Kaito made his way to the camp. His clothes ragged, his face a full of dirt and beads of sweat on his face.
"Hey Ranma wheres Jin?"
"Oh he's getting a glass of water and a leaf.", answered Ranma.
"So that means you can force your Aura out. That's good. It took me sometime to do that.", said Kaito with a smile.
"You aren't angry at me are you?" asked Ranma, a hint of worry in his voice.
'I don't think I could to this if the only other kid around here dislikes me Ranko.'
'Don't worry I'm sure it will be alright.'
Kaito was perplexed.
"Why should I be angry? Because you learned it faster? Please. I can't do anything about it. You're gifted. That's no crime. As long as you aren't getting too arrogant we're cool."
"Really thanks. Most of the other disciples I met were either angry of jealous because I learnt so fast."
"As I said Ranma, keep a cool head and we're cool."
"Ok here we are. Let's get this on Ranma. Come here and force your Aura out.", ordered Jin
Ranma sat down before the glass and startet to force his Aura out. Slowly the glow grow stronger than...
"The leaf. Its ripped into two pieces."
"Not really Kaito. Look closer", said Jin the grin back full force.
"The two pieces are still connectet. What does that mean?", asked Kaito with an odd look
"That means that young Ranma here is part the Tokushitsu category. His ability will surely be very interessting. But now it's enough. Time to rest for you two. You will need the rest believe me."
"Night Jin", said both boys before the went to their respective bags (the one for Ranma was the emergency bag, which was for things like this).
"So he has three different Auras, is part of the Tokushitsu category and learned how to force his Aura out in five hours. This is gonny be such fun.", said an amused Jin before he also went to sleep.
The next morning
Groggily Ranma opened his eyes. He wasn't in his bed anymore. He tried to stand up. One should notice the tried. He couldn't move a single finger.
Next to him sat Kaito with a pained expression on his face. And in front o fhim was Jin.
"Good Morning Ranma. I thought it would be a good idea to start training right away", said Jin as he bite into his bread.
"So this is gonna help me how exactly?" asked Ranma with a large sweetdrop as he tried to move his bounded limps.
"It's no use. I already tried you can't move a thing. The ropes are made stronger by Nen.", said an equally bound Kaito.
"This is gonna help you to move your Aura faster inside your body so you can protect yourself against the rocks I'm going to throw at you.." said one smirking DoubleHunter.
'I think he just wants to see you both beaten and bruised.', supplied Ranko.
'Thanks Ranko, that's just the optimism I need'
"Well then let's get startet. When we're finished you're getting breakfeast."
'This is going to be a long day and it just began!' with this lastet pained thought Ranma tried to concentrate on his Aura. Only to be broken out of it when a rock hit him into his shoulder.
'Yes this definitly going to be a long day.'
3 hours later
"Not bad at all. You did better than I thought. Go and stuff yourself."
Groaning Ranma crawled to his place. He hurt all over and ther wasn't a single muscle which didn't burn.
"Oh and after your done eating we'll continue what we did yesterday. Kaito get your shovel ready and Ranma you are going to force you Aura out. You'll have to be faster if you want to become a Hunter."
"Why should I become a Hunter?"
"Well as a Hunter you'll earn much money. Beside that fact you'll meet many strong people and you're chance at finding a way to your home is better than just be workless. But now enough chit-chat. You should eat faster we wouldn't want to waste all the precious trainingtime wouldn't we?" chuckled Jin.
And the days went by!
We see Ranma sitting Ranma jumping around like crazy while trying to avoid being hit by throwing knives.
We see Ranma and Kaito being boch beaten by Jin for endurance training.
Ranma and Kaito chase Jin only to land in a really deep pit. The try to climb out of hit only to be hit at the head with two shovels and the advice to start digging.
And days and weeks became months and years!
Ranma and Kaito both older are sparring against each other. Kaito with a bonbori and Ranma with a staff. Both weapons strenghed with their Aura.
We see Ranma sitting calmly under a tree. Suddenly some rocks fly at him but he doesn't even moves. The moment the rocks hit his aura aborbs the damage.
We see Kaito and Ranma sitting together at a fire and talking about different ideas fo special techniques.
And finally the day comes!
"Kaito, Ranma come here please."
"What's the matter Jin?" asked Ranma with a smile on his face.
"I think it's time for you two to take the Hunter Exam. You're more than ready for it.'In fact I don't believe the will have any problems'."
"You mean it?" asked Kaito with a smile on his face.
"Sure. It's up to you if you take the chance."
"So how do we take part?"
"Well. I thing you know how to find information. So find it out. I will meet you again when you finished the exam. See ya." And with that he dissappeared.
"Jin?"
"Does that mean what I think it means?" This time Ranma couldn't ban the happy tone from his voice.
"Yep I think so. Time to show them what we're made of.", agreed Kaito.
"HUNTER EXAM HERE WE COME!"
to be continued
in the next chapter: No one said it would be easy!
"You've got to be kidding me!", exclaimed a wide-eyed Ranma.
"What? You're thinking you're not up to the task?"
"This is gonna be easy!", said a grinning Ranma.
"That's what the all say kid"
