The morning started with free time. Dojo had also reported that there has 0.001 that a new shen gong wu would reveal itself. Everyone was doing their own thing. Kimiko enjoyed sunbathing. Omi trained with being the size of an ant in the bamboo plants, knocking bugs. Raimundo was swimming, or rather, surfing. Clay returned from an all-you-can-eat buffet in Texas with the Golden Tiger Claws, and with and table full of steak. All this happened while Keri stayed in her room until everyone was called to eat lunch and then set off for practice.
They paired up. Raimundo with Keri, Kimiko with Omi and Clay went to Master Fung for advice on how to improve controlling his element.
"So, I just want to know. Why did you change your mind?" Raimundo was uneasy; it came out a bit weird. "Uh…I didn't, I had that in mind all along. Shockwave Blast, Energy!" Energy bolts powered up and she fired them one by one at Raimundo, causing him to dodge here and there. After the last shot, Raimundo had his chance. "Typhoon Boom, Wind!" A great tornado flew at Keri. Raimundo expected her to move; only she stood there, not budging. "Shockwave Blast, Energy!" A force field appeared in front of her as she put her two hands forward. This prevented the tornado from hitting her and also absorbed all of it's power into it. The tornado soon disappeared into thin air, leaving Raimundo wide-eyed.
"How did you do that? I mean…" It took a while to come to him. "What just happened? That was so amazing, no wonder Omi wanted to train with you again."
Keri knew this astonishment would come, since it did happen the day before. Her calm voice replied. "Um… 'How did I do that?' It was part of my element. 'What just happened?' I created a force field in front of me to absorb the power and force as well as preventing myself getting hurt. Now, care to give it another shot? You're welcome to try."
"Would I? Typhoon Boom, Wind!" Raimundo never thought of giving up. The tornado came again and Keri blocked it, only this time there were gusts of wind coming from every direction. This pressure knocked her into the air and Raimundo prepared a kick from above.
The kick didn't appear to hit Keri. Raimundo was off balance and both switched positions. Keri was above Raimundo now. "Shockwave Blast, Energy!" An energy bolt flew out of her hand and blew Raimundo away. Keri knew he was going to do some flips to retain his balance and land safely.
"You're one good training partner, aren't you? Plus, it's good that you think twice, never thought you did." Keri commented him as she reached ground. "I didn't think twice, it was just smarts." Raimundo's 'joke' somehow didn't reach Keri as her confused face was displayed. "Never mind."
After a while, Raimundo suggested. "Let's just focus on training for now." "Yeah, good idea." While they trained, Raimundo asked Keri. "You free tonight after dinner? I was thinking of getting to know you more."
Keri's sad face emerged. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I have something to do. I'm free at around six tomorrow morning if that's okay with you." Raimundo cheered her up. "Sure, anytime's fine with me. I just thought you might feel at home with a friend to talk to."
