The Inside, Japen- Shion(Lincoln) age 20, Kiryu Setsuna age 16…
A camp was about to be attacked and all those within would die. A scout came and told their leader of three men coming there way. Potential victims and entertainment for these group of predators… They were local group Yakuza 30 men in control of this portion of Territory; armed with melee weapon- machete's, knives, sai's, spears, nun-chucks, kursari-fundo, clubs, bats, etc…These men were nervous given they were protect any valuables and resources they had. Drugs were held in the tent, along with majority of food, water and alcohol that would be considered luxury's that most individuals would not have. These men were trying to grow in power, in dreams of conquering The Inside.
All 30 of these Yakuza men were spread out, clumped up in a rough group of ten men.
Just as majority of The Inside is known for, these men lived and breath without worry of the law to do whatever they please.
These men were not strong individually, in terms of Fighting Ability in comparison to the three Warriors approaching them. Some were more talented than others, but they were rough and green. They have gone soft or coasted on the power they already acquired from surviving The Inside from childhood to where they are now as adults.
Three individual Warriors came to exterminate them for food, water, and training in their Koei Style.
"ATTACK!" A man yelled, the far from the back of the group, with the 10 men in front charging and rushing with their respective weapon, in all intents and purposes to butcher there…prey. Growing nearer and nearer, getting look at the three individuals they saw.
A gruff-looking old man in the center wearing kogeki, on the left was a young-man that had beautiful features had jeans and dress shirt, and on the right was white-haired man who was so different that he had to have be an 'Outsider', wearing an orange robes like yellow and brown clothing!
Whom was truly the prey and whom the predator?
As group of 10 men reach, 5 of the closet men were close enough to strike! Two men had machete's attack the old man, two men attack the white-haired man with spears got ready to stab, and one man with nun-chucks came at the young beautiful man with intents to capture rather than kill, so held back on using nun-chucks and attempt to grab his victim.
Beautiful young-man spoke up from his group with a charming smile.
"You truly made a mistake with holding back against me."
Blink! Blink! Blink! All three of these individuals disappeared before there attackers, stunning them and stopping their charge cold; only them realization came to them too late.
Double Rakshasa's Palm! Swish! Snap! Swish! Snap! Two men with their machete's heads twisted sharply enough to their relative sides to break their necks. These men fell forward to the killer they never saw. The gruff-looking old man appeared behind them and turned around.
Double Rakshasa's Palm! Swish! Snap! Swish! Snap! Unlike the machete wielding comrades, the two men wielding spears snapped completely back to see their attacks. The two necks of these men were twisted in unnatural angles where their heads were face the complete opposite way. Their bodies gave way and darkness clouded their vision, but not before looking at a stoic frown of the white-haired 'Outside'.
Rakshasa's Palm! "Gah-Hak!" The nun-chuck wielder shirt was ripped open to reveal that his chest had an…spiral wound indented into his chest and crushing or twisting his heart to pieces! A bloody cough and look of horror was on the man face, before he fell backwards. The beautiful young-man just smile and never look back at his…practice dummy.
The remaining 25 Yakuza men, started to sweat and felt a growing sensation of dread. That they're dreams and aspirations would die today, is what echoed in the back of their minds. They shook off that feeling and more men can to attack the three other men who killed their comrades in arms.
It was just a trick!
A lucky fluke!
No way these three men could killing the remaining 25 of them!
"AAHHH!" The remaining 25 men grouped up and swarm the men.
…How wrong they were!
Rakshasa's Palm! "GAH!" A thug carrying an axe, had his left arm dislocated and twisted up by the gruff-looking old man. The injured man feels to the ground cradling his wounded arm. Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap! The remaining four men with there respective weapons, attempted to surround the gruff-looking old man and as result…the gruff-looking old man went around them snapping their necks as soon as they took there eyes off of him for the briefest of moments.
Bam! "Ugh!" Another man with a chain for his weapon, had more than six pounds of pressure from a Palm Strike to the face from the white-haired man, knocking out man and causing brain trauma. Six remaining men surrounded the white-haired man before him, about ready to attack. Rakshasa Palm! "RAHH!" The whited-haired man roared out and attack a man left shoulder, destroying the bones of the shoulder-blade and ligaments. Then the white-man haired man proceeds to his finish off the other four men. Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap! Blink! Snap!Just as the gruff-looking man before he did, the white-haired man proceed to snapping the necks of his opponents the moments they took their eyes of the white-haired man.
The youngest of the men had a more…sadistic nature. Rakshasa's Palm! "Gah!" Another man fell victim of a spiral chest wound gifted to him by the beautiful young man! The four other men with there weapons charged, a club wielding man strike at the young man only for him leave an afterimage that was hit and appearing at the left arm, holding the club. "I don't like pain…" Rakshasa's Palm! The club wielding man arm was twisted and dislocated. "Die!" Another man declared with knives and manage to strike at the young man. This attack missed, but barely grazed a cut on the young man cheek.
Just then, the remaining three men attacking the youngest man felt the atmosphere shifted to a more…Blood Thirty and Hateful Intent!
"You wound me?...Only he, can wound and mark me!" Blink! Rakshasa's Palm! Snap-Pop! One man carrying a bat head was turned 180 degree. Blink! Rakshasa's Palm! Another man held kursari-fundo chains head snap in 180 degree. Blink! Rakshasa's Palm! Snap! Rip-Crack! The last victim of the beautiful young man rage had no weapon and tried to run away, only….the body runaway and the head of this man was in the beautiful young man hands with the head ripped off with parts the spinal cord twisted and snapped off the body.
All the bodies fell in a…spiral pattern.
Did the Blink technique of the Koei Style feet work move in a spiral pattern as well?
The remain men fled and left whatever supplies/resources in pure terror at the thought of their potential death.
"Kiryu, let me see that cut." The white-haired man asked and the boy known as Kiryu went to the young man to examine the wound.
"You need to hold some restraint against weaker opponents, Kiryu. It unbecoming to use that much violence on weaker opponents." The gruff-looking old man spoke.
"I am sorry, Senei-Ganzan. I am fine, Shion." The beautiful young man spoke up.
Shion gave small balm contain and bandage to the Kiryu wounds. Ganzan went over to the tents to see what food, water and anything of value they had. His students proceed to check out bodies or their pockets for anything of value. Dawn broke over the camp. This was just an early morning practice for the Master of the Koei Style and his disciples. This training may be brutal, but it was for the benefit of fully utilizing the Koei Style. Depending on the user of the Koei Style, the level of violence would vary from person to person. The youngest of the group still need couple years of practice, while the other two seem to have some restraint of control and mastery over their actions

Morning came, breakfast past and height of noon was approaching.
Group stretching and normal exercise routine passed. Training as Martial Artist required constant routine and discipline, never having a day off from their dedication. The Koei Style relied on constantly exercising footwork technique of Blink technique and constantly pushing past the limits speed gaining and control over their movement. The hand conditioning of Rakshasa's Palm, required constant religious effort of hand conditioning with a clay jar of gravel to tough up and practice the torque generated from the shoulders through the arms.
Noon exercises were sparing practice with Taira Ganzan and his pupils. Ganzan spar with Kiryu Setsuna has ended, but now leaves a true challenge…Ganzan spar with his senior pupil, Shion.
Master and senior discipline faced each other, with Kiryu off to the side lings to watch and learn from the spar.
Taira Ganzan knew what his oldest student was capable of in a fight, but that also meant Shion knew what Ganzan was capable of in a fight.
The Limits of the Spar, no Rakshasa's Palm. They would practice no limits on the 'Outside', but they were training in The Inside. Any crippling or serious injury would be life or death struggle, but this training of The Inside was supposed to help Kiryu training in flesh for his Rakshasa's Palm development. Ganzan would allow the Rakshasa's Palm to be used by Kiryu, given his youngest student inexperience.
It was different in Shion case…
Shion held back in his fight with Ganzan, out of respect and care for his master. There was incident when Shion used Rakshasa's Palm in all-out spar, which ended with Ganzan left shoulder blade dislocated and need couple of weeks to heal. It was painful and proven to be in several incidents that Shion could fight and defeat Taira Ganzan in even match. Ganzan lost too many sparring matches to Shion than he won in the last few years. Still, Ganzan remember the remorse Shion had. It was thoughtful, but also showed weakness Ganzan realize Shion had.
….Ganzan had saved Shion in The Inside, in almost a decade long of dependence, since he knew his student. Ganzan was not a father-figure to the boy or act as such, but Ganzan was Shion teacher in Martial Arts. Ganzan knew his student survived one year on The Inside by himself made him stronger and adapt to survive, but broken the boy spirit and mind in some regards. Shion open up considerable to Ganzan and Kiryu over the year, especially about his past and his family in America.
Truly, it was series of unfortunate events that led Shion to life to The Inside in unexpected situation. Something that Shion would always and never be swayed from the idea that...it was his fault for pushing his family away and turned into a killer to survive in The Inside.
Ganzan knew Shion felt scared and ashamed of what his family would think of him, if they find out he was alive and killed to survive. Not only for killing in the past and present, but for the fact…Shion did not feel bad for killing others. His family would think of Shion as monster and Ganzan knows that would break Shion completely.
Kiryu open up his past as well, but seem to look at Shion odd and confused as to why Shion would feel scared or ashamed that his family would think about Shion viewing human life as easy as killing an insect? It was from Kiryu innocent and careless question, did Ganzan realize how…dangerous and broken Kiryu mental view of the world.
Kiryu omitted parts of his past, that Ganzan and Shion both felt.
The rest of Kiryu story was tragic, for he was born into this world as product for organ harvest and not familiar with family love of any kind.
It sent shivers down Ganzan and Shion spine, both tried to hide that fact.
He understood Kiryu was broken, but possessed a spirit to survive and grow stronger given his hellish beginnings.
Ganzan did not think of killing, besides killing worthy opponents in a thrilling battle or flesh to practice his Koei Style.
It was just Taira Ganzan was sane and stable individual in his two students lives.
Shion, did not want push people away from him and did everything Ganzan and later on Kiryu asked in training. If they accepted killing, that was fine for Shion. It just that conflicted with Shion memories of his childhood of remembering his family in America and how Shion knew his family would not accept those values.
The fear of…. rejection, really shaped Shion in the man he was now.
Shion wanted to be accepted by Ganzan, casting off all former identity in order to give Ganzan a proper student and discipline to pass the Koei Style on. This Shion had proven over the years with Ganzan.
Ganzan had tried to break Shion of that mind-set for years. Ganzan was even considering traveling to America's, so Shion could face his family and reveal the truth of what his student was capable to him. It would be then Ganzan would know if Shion was capable of carrying on the Koei Style or would break under his old family judgement. Shion was not a boy, but man now and master of the Koei Style in his own right. Ganzan would not be around forever…
Taira Ganzan desire to pass on Koei Style to strong students and nothing else matter besides the conditions of his student's health, both mentally and physically.
"Begin!" Kiryu shouted and the match started.
Ganzan rushed towards Shion, with a surprising strike from his left fist from the center of Ganzan body towards Shion. Thud Shion blocked with his right arm to redirect the blow and went to knee Ganzan in the groin. Bam! Ganzan right knee intercepted Shion left knee. Ganzan used Palm Strike from his left hand to Shion chin. Bam! Ganzan attack was a direct hit, but Shion used tactic that Ganzan was surprised and unprepared for, by grabbing his master right leg too…. Slam!
Shion had used Ganzan over extended left arm and grabbed it with his right arm, flipping and slamming his master on the ground. This move was…a Single Leg Takedown technique! A Grappler technique to be more precise!
Ganzan realize as soon as he did not start off with the Koei Style as he did with Kiryu, Shion decide to study Martial Art techniques outside of Koei Style. This was a way to see how much each user relied on the Koei Style and what they could do without it. Ganzan was a traditional Martial Artist that practice in Jiujutsu and even other branches Jiujutsu. What did Shion practice? Shion was a Brawler, but that did not mean he did not study other forms of fighting styles his enemies used and in books he read to pass the time that were not Manga's he collected over the years.
Ganzan wonder if Shion thought he could beat Ganzan on battle on the Ground? It would not be that simple.
Shion went for Palm Strike, to strike down Ganzan supposedly prone form on the ground. Crack! Shion palm struck and fractured the ground, because Ganzan moved at the last minute and manage to put Shion into a hold when Shion missed the ground and Ganzan lifted his legs ground. Ganzan right leg went over Shion head and over the left shoulder, while his right arm hugged Shion head to compress his body into Ganzan own. Shion left arm was useless, as Ganzan left foot hooked to his right foot.
This was a Triangle Choke! A branch of Jiujutsu mostly used in Brazilian Jiujutsu, but of Ganzan life and experience to master Jiujutsu add this skill to his own.
Ganzan applied pressure around Shion head to his chest, suffocating his white-haired pupil. Grip! Ganzan paused and felt what Shion grabbed…his testicles! A hand that slipped between from the space of Shion chest and were Ganzan testicles were. Ganzan realize that during the time he performing the Triangle Choke, Shion slipped his arm in place near Shion neck just in case Ganzan would choke Shion with his leg strength and cutting-off Shion oxygen supply. This was vulnerable and crippling move, given Ganzan knew that Shion had the strong grip, especially if he applied Rakshasa's Palm in that area.
Ganzan was at Shion mercy.
This is what Ganzan feared, with his moves becoming predictable to Shion developing Foresight skills. Shion was in the beginning stages to develop Foresight, but with all of Ganza and Shion spars it must seem easy for Shion to predict Ganzan next movements and Shion to develop possible counter-moves.
"Y-yield!" Shion wheezed and his head turning red from the pressure of his blood vessels rushing his pupils face.
Ganzan did just that and let go of his student body. Never saying he yield, but showing through action...
Ganzan lost this spar. Simple as that.
Some might consider it a dirty/cheap move to go after a fighter's vulnerable areas; such as testicles, eyes or blind spot. But this was fight and Ganzan knew anything and everything was possible in a fight.
"Gasp-p!...Why did you decide to go without the Koei Style against me and not with Kiryu?" Shion spoke up and helped up Ganzan up from the ground.
"I wanted to see what you were capable without it. You seem to added some Grappling to your Brawling style of fighting." Ganzan pointed out.
"Yeah, well, you know Jiujutsu and that move you used is Brazilian Jiujutsu. Besides the Koei Style, I can only rely what I think is useful in a fight or pick up by reading. The Single Leg Takedown was in book I read and I decide to learn that technique. Plus, it was amateur move, really. I have no one else to practice on that I do not kill, besides you and Kiryu."
"Hmm…" Ganzan hummed, not really disapproving and approving.
"Do you know what Kiryu other Martial Art is yet, Sensei-Ganzan?" Shion asked, wiping sweat and breathing now calm from their spar.
"Why do you not ask him yourself now?" Ganzan replied, but the truth was that Ganzan did not know what Kiryu hidden Martial Art was.
Ganzan and possible Shion understood that Kiryu…hated his other Martial Art. Probably why he seems to be driven to excel in Koei Style, because it gave Kiryu another set of skills to rely on. Whatever the Martial Art was brought up, Kiryu just smiled a strain smile and come up with some excuse or do something else to avoid the subject. Even after these past few years, Ganzan did not understand or care what Kiryu other Martial Art. Though, it would be lie to say he was not curious.
"He's gone." Shion words, brought Ganzan out his thoughts back to reality
"What?" Ganzan looked around and indeed his student was gone. Nowhere for Ganzan or Shion to see.
"Humph! Where does that boy go around noon?" Ganzan spoke out loud. This has been regular occurrence, but it rather sporadic and unpredictable. Random parts of the day, after training Kiryu would disappear during his break to the dilapidated buildings or other areas.
"Shion. Go find Kiryu. I will get our lunch ready." Ganzan spoke up. They had enough food for a while, after taking care of a group of armed weaklings. No fighter's worth mentioning, but they had food and water that could last for couple days. Maybe weeks if ration properly and eating the perishable foods first.
"Alright, Sensei-Ganzan." Shion spoke up and Ganzan nodded.
His student maybe foreigner, but spoke well as if Japanese that seemed fluent over the years.
It certainly help that Ganzan found dentist and surgery need to replace Shion missing front teeth. Still, teeth implants cost a arm and leg, which took most Shion money gain new upper-front teeth.
The struggles of being a fighter- broken bones, scars, dislocated joints, head injuries, internal organs damage or missing teeth. Ganzan and his students were familiar with their chosen life styles as Martial Artist and Fighters.

A fight was taking place. Two fighter's vs a dozen fighters. Again, normally the side with most fighters would have the advantage. Some fighters even had weapons. Still, this fight was one-side. The other side had numerical superiority and weapons, but the two fighters they were facing were no ordinary fighters. A teacher and student were Martial Artist, training and hone their skills to reach a higher level then they were previously. For these two fighters, this was just active training session and self-defense against the dozen fighters invading their territory.
There was one unknown individual, to all the fighters engaging in fight.
A certain admirer or stalker who was watching one particular fighter with great interest…
"Grow stronger, my god. My Ohma…I await your divine-punishment!" Kiryu whispered from his position in the delipidated building corner, watching two men training by fighting others people invading their territory. Ohma has grown so much, truly fitting and strong to be his god! There were dozen or so men, some already beaten on the ground and unable to move and other still fighting.
…The only displeasing thing that Kiryu gritted his teeth at was how Ohma was fighting…His god using some useless Martial Art style from a pretender!
Kiryu watch as Ohma used Flame Kata: Flashfire footwork technique to reach the nearest and cocked his fist back, then landing on the poorly trained and foolish man to raise a weapon at his god. Oh! He could see the jaw breaking and teeth flying, Ohma possible used Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker to enhance his punch.
Another man attack Ohma blindside, but then…that pretender, came and interfered with Kiryu god with Redirection Kata: Weeping Willow in a form of Low Kick strike to sweep out his god would be attacker to the ground and meant with the pretender own version of Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker, which Kiryu had to admit was more powerful than his precious Ohma version.
His god was not helpless, so why does this man get in the WAY!?
Crack! Kiryu hands put pressure on corner of the building he was hiding from, to focus his energy and intent away from the…pretender. His day would come.
The Niko Style would die one day and from the ashes Kiryu god would appear, vengeful and bloodthirsty to destroy anyone who stand in his way. Men, women, or children. Anyone who challenge his god, in Ohma true form, would break and be brutalized.
"Awww! Ohma, look what you do to me…" Kiryu sighed a pleasant, euphoria from his roused member. Oh, he would need his body-pillow for some good cuddling. Kiryu tried to clear his head from excitement and stop his blood flow rushing to his member, but it could not be helped and Kiryu had to look at the unpleasant individual who he despised…. A man that defies his god and guide his Ohma down the path to ruin the perfection that was Ohma.
Niko Tokita.
The False Tiger.
Oh, Kiryu has meant another man, another Niko that was a true Tiger. This man claiming to be Niko was pretender, ruining his god and passing down his bastardize version of the Niko Style. A weak form of Martial Art. Kiryu meant this TRUE Niko Tokita when he was still with his former lover Yakuza leader during their many exchanges with the Underworld. This TRUE Niko had a deadly and dangerous Niko Style. What this pretender Niko Tokita was using? It was weak. He was false tiger with false fangs.
Kiryu may have learn parts of the Niko Style, but he would never master it.
Kiryu wanted the best and Martial Art that fit his style.
The Koei Style developed by Sensei Taira Ganzan and his senior discipline Shion, prove their Martial Art was what he was looking for.
The Koei Style appearance did not have a traditional stance that most Martial Arts styles had. It was a Formless Martial Art style that was very, very deceptive. Sure, the Koei Style only had two techniques, but it was the uses of those two Koei Style techniques that Kiryu Setsuna treasured. The training was difficult, even if Kiryu broke the record with achieve Blink and Rakshasa's Palm, but it was worth it! Kiryu forgot the exact number of men he slays with furthering his Rakshasa's Palm training in the flesh or disappearing with Blink , the Koei style was elegant and deadly in its own right.
A man could seem harmless, but could attack in blink of a eye and twist/break a man body with the power of torque in his upper body.
It truly was cunning and lived up to its name.
Koei Style, the Shadow Fox.
"Oh dear, they are done." Kiryu notice, Ohma and the pretender broken and defeated most the men. A number of them are dead, but some were limping and licking there wounds. All Kiryu need to do was finish them off-
"Yes, they are done."
Kiryu was startled and reacted with Rakshasa's Palm at direction of the voice, but to be surprised when the voice block and parried the Rakshasa's Palm to wall. Swish! Crack! A web cracks of broken wall was in a spiral pattern, a hand on top of Kiryu. A familiar, strong and scared hand that was conditioned by person obsessively achieve stronger hands that surpassed Kiryu at the moment and Sensei-Ganzan.
Shion, his senior and possible what Kiryu consider what it would be like to have an older brother. Truly a nice and caring person, if he was not stern and frowning being sent Kiryu way.
"How much trouble am I in?" Kiryu asked, as he composed himself.
"None, from me. Sensei-Ganzan is entirely different matter that I do not know about. Enough about that though, we need to have lunch to fuel our bodies." Shion said sternly and truthfully, beckoning Kiryu to follow him back to camp.
Kiryu just sighed. Ganzan and Shion spar was not even a demonstration of Koei Style. Just a fight to show what Jiujutsu master vs Brawler/dabbler in fight were capable of. Oh, Kiryu knew his master and Shion were strong, beyond average 'masters' of Jiujutsu or beyond regular street fighter.
Shion and Kiryu walked back to their camp in the woods.
"Was that man….your former master?" Shion ask, which caused Kiryu to laugh! Shion had curious nature to him.
"Hahahahaha! No!" Kiryu said, as if it was funniest joke he ever heard.
Learning Niko Style from that pretender? Ridiculous…
Kiryu had two masters in his mind.
One was his god and the other….
Was the true Tiger.
Only bits and pieces from Ohma though, immolating and copying his skills. It felt sinful and disgusting, but Kiryu would only use the Niko Style techniques that Ohma used. That way they would be close. The True Tiger, would not teach Kiryu and Kiryu did not want to learn, because Kiryu knew the attentions of this Tiger- he would have no equals. No more other…Niko Tokita's.
"Do you know what style of Martial Arts those two were using? It was fascinating to watch and seem to have many useful techniques." Shion spoke, as they continued to walk to their camp for lunch.
"It the Niko Style and it not that great. Those two users of the Niko Style…are not vicious enough to be consider useful." Kiryu spoke that last statement, honest about what he witnesses. Ohma only weaken and became unclean learning from that pretender form of Niko Style.
No matter how much his god trains in Niko Style and uses that technique taught to him by the pretender, it just would not be enough. What the false Niko did for Ohma, was not give him TRUE strength. This false Niko made Ohma a target. A target for a very dangerous animal with vicious fangs and so much more vicious, that it made Kiryu excited and…worried. Worried, as believer would fear their living god would die at the hands of a wrathful beast. Something apocalyptic that Kiryu could not stand in his entire being.
"Where else do you go Kiryu? Sometimes I find you and it usually watching those two individuals. Particularly, the boy your age. Other times…it like you disappear and I can not find your tracks." Shion pointed out.
Shion was quite good at sneaking up on Kiryu and even tracking him down. That was annoying and troublesome. Was he letting his guard down too much around Shion? It was annoying and interesting skill. Training under Taira Ganzan and surviving The Inside would help someone develop these skill sets.
Tracking and hunting were part of Shion and Kiryu necessary skill set to survive.
"Oh, nowhere in particular. I just sometimes find some…Worms and dispatch them." Kiryu said vaguely, which caused Shion to sigh and shake his head.
The true Tiger informant was teaching Kiryu Setsuna one useful technique. A technique that would take time and develop, of religious training and awaking onto Kiryu own being. The results though…would be perfect. Because whatever Kiryu awaken in himself and could figure out to pass on to his master, his one beloved. His one love. His whole reason of his existence.
…Kiryu would one day reawaken the God in Ohma Tokita.
He vowed this, along with the pretender death. One way or another.

It was the Afternoon, usually training in shadow-fight or meditation, but today was different.
Today, Shion would add something to the Koei Style! A new technique that he developed and wanted to Sensei-Ganzan and Kiryu to witness. There judgement on Shion technique would matter the most, given they were users and practice of the Koei Style.
A technique that came at trying to combine Blink and Rakshasa's Palm.
Blink was a technique that Taira Ganzan took bits and pieces from the original scrolls, but took an idea of Chinese Martial Arts- Bagua Zhang! Bagua Zhang was a Martial Art that had fighters constantly move in Circles, constantly spinning back and forth. The footwork was very invasive, something that Taira Ganzan used in his own Koei Style. The circular footwork was used, but in a pattern of a spiral and required sharp turns and movements. Just constantly turning, exiting in and out of the spiral.
Rakshasa's Palm was excellent move for the upper body and prove to be very deadly if taken damage from. Not a technique easily replicated or achieved by copying the fighter. It took years and required hand conditioning to achieve such a move. Something that no sane person would normal put themselves through and required torque to generate from the shoulder blades to arms.
What Shion wanted to add was…kicking technique.
By combining Blink and Rakshasa's Palm into a deadly attack from his feat.
Shion was inspired by the idea of noticing his ankle flexibility was similar to his wrist flexibility, which could generate more torque. The problem was, instead of Shion shoulders he would have to generate the torque from his hips and spinning.
Not many Martial Arts use torque to generate blows, beside weapons, that was as demanding as Koei Style.
That when Shion remember from his former life, as Lincoln Loud.
Lincoln sister Lynn Jr Loud, was a top-star athlete and true competitor. Whatever sport she went into, she excelled. Some sports that Lynn participated in captured Shion interest and memory was…Track and Field. More specifically the foot work use for Discus, Hammer and Shot-Put throwers. The footwork required to control and generate power these throws, which required years of training and discipline. One could easily lose control and lose balance in a throw, even top-level athletes. Besides following Sensei-Ganzan instructions, Shion found books and instructions on the Outside in Japan on how to properly use the correct footwork for Discus, Hammer and Shot-Put. One book the reference was by Japan own Herculean Olympian, Murobuchi Gozo.
Murobuchi Gozo was a decathlon, who dominates Japan athletic world and won numerous Gold Metals in the Olympics while breaking records!
From studying Murobuchi Gozo books on proper use of Discus, Hammer and Shot-Put; Shion started training when he 16 years old to practice and develop his technique. The revelation of Sensei-Ganzan knowing of Kiryu knowing another Martial Art haunted his mind, but inspired Shion to further the Koei Style. It took years of training and dedication to control the Foot-Work need practice.
Shion even looked into Ballet, given that when he was Lincoln his sister Lola did try out and practice in Ballet. Not much info he could get from Ballet, besides the conditioning and exercises Shion could find in Japan books or going Outside of the Inside to find a internet cafe. Shion did not look down on Ballet, because Fighting Styles or Martial Arts had deep connections with dances from various cultures of tribes to modern day Martial Arts such as Capoeira in Brasil or Savate used in France. Shion need all information that could help generate the torque he needs to develop this technique. Most techniques that Shion discovered were moves and techniques involve spinning Shion body incredibly quickly, then using the high torque to deliver powerful kicks. Because of Ballet instruction and training, Shion developed a new sense of balance and has complete body control, down to the tips of his toes. To give the Koei Style…
…a third technique!
Kiryu and Ganzan were off on the sidelines, watching as Shion calmly collected himself to get rid of his nerves. To demonstrate on the ground, tree and boulder in front of him and audience.
Blink! Shion disappeared, but when he appears the ground did something unexpected. Crack!It shatter and cracked into a spiral pattern! Blink!Shion disappeared and reappeared towards a tree, but instead of his arm lashing out it was a right kick! Swish! Crack! The bark was gone, leaving a spiral pattern behind and Shion feet were connected into tree with the sole of his foot. Blink! Shion disappeared, but was high up in the air kicking his left foot at the boulder! Swish! Crack!The smooth boulder, now had spiral crack and on top of boulder was Shion foot sole before he jumped off and looked to his audience.
"That is very good Shion! Once we see how the technique works on Human flesh, it will truly be one of the Koei Style third technique, if it not already." A smirk of a smile was on his sensei face.
Ganzan realized the value of the technique. Ganzan notice Shion feet were scared and even missing toe-nails, but that did not bother Shion. Taira Ganzan could only assume that Shion put his feet through similar conditioner as they practice with Rakshasa's Palm. This kicking technique generated exceeding amount of torque and seem to leave behind damage.
This meant with Ganzan nod of approval, even smiling so Shion could see his master full approval.
"Can I learn that next?" Kiryu asked, before adding, "I want to make that my technique!" Kiryu Setsuna also realize what Shion accomplished in his excitement and hope to add a new technique to his arsenal. Something that would make Kiryu less reliant on Niko Style. Something about this new technique made Kiryu see Shion in a new light. Shion was not just a hang-on and look to Sensei-Ganzan as some sense of security. Kiryu realize that Shion wanted to show his master that his time training Shion and his dedication was worthwhile.
In that moment…Shion was moved by emotions.
Shion had a true smile. His master or junior student could see and made it look like he was wiping sweat.
His time and effort were not in vain and…
…the Koei Style- Rakshasa's Sol, was created and contributed by Shion hard work and effort that day! Something that Shion would work and discover the longer he practices Rakshasa's Sol and what discovers he could find future fights with this technique. Shion would teach this to Sensei-Ganzan and Kiryu, to see their own unique uses of this technique.
A man formerly known as Lincoln Loud, felt some sense of accomplishment and drive to push Koei Style further and become stronger.

AN: I have been doing some differently with my writing, so if the texts look different to others or seem to funky, let me know.
I am gradually going to move away from BOLD and Italics moves used by these Koei Style. Probably after Chapter 5, not many BOLD and Itaclics in the future chapters. Just focusing on Shion(Lincoln) training and fighting. I will have fighting styles or Martial Arts techniques capitalize and put in BOLD and Italics. I just wanted to write out that characters use of the moves, which are known in "Kengan Ashura/Omeg" Anime and Manga.
