Not much to say in this chapter it's more of a time skip/training portion
Also sorry for not uploading sooner I was busy with some other projects I have in the works, may end uploading one of two of them later this month or next month.
Chapter 5 Intermediate Trick
One month has gone by and I have got to admit things have been rather… chill since I've started to live in the Inn with sisters and Ikki.
Yeah Ikki still gets up into some dumb shit but if I ignore that and focus on other stuff like my new job, cleaning the Inn and finally well my AT training.
Within a month of secretly going to and from to the warehouse skate park that was magically always empty whenever I was around I found myself doing better and better by the second.
Better being that I could do ramps and land with ease and a minor grind or two on the nearby rails but yeah better, haven't gotten into the whole acrobatics behind the AT's yet but I knew for now my pace was simple and easy one.
That was until Daunt asked about it.
"Seriously small rails ahahahaha! When I was a month into AT's I was doing backflips 50ft in the air ahahahahahah!" Daunt laughed at me while I was giving him his midnight lunch.
"Do you want the food or not?" I questioned the large DJ as he continued to laugh at me.
"Ahahahah sorry sorry phew look how about I do you a favour and teach you a couple things." Daunt suggested keeping a large grin on his face.
"Teach me? You sure about that?" I questioned him knowing fully well despite my day time availability I was pretty much stumped with keeping the Inn clean, making breakfast and lunch as well as Dinners.
"Why not I'll give you some tips to make go from beginner into an intermediate." Daunt exclaimed with a large grin plastered onto his face before taking a bite out of the freshly made pizza I had just pulled out before.
And in so this is where I am now, standing on the clubs rooftop in the middle of the day with an excited looking Daunt.
While I waited there with my black AT's on I slightly began to stretch my limbs making sure they were warmed up and so I didn't pull a muscle like that one time when I had to more or less limp all the back home because Landed wrong on the ground.
"Ahahahaha I see you're already there, not bad looking threads you have there." I heard Daunts loud voice boom in the air as I found him coming out of the nearby entrance wearing a tight fitting hoodie over his very large muscular frame, a pair of long baggy gray pants sat on his waist and on his feet were a pair of old custom looking AT's.
Meanwhile my sense of dress was a pair of green cargo pants, a black belt and finally a blue t shirt on top, nothing too serious but I still had a lot of room to work with I think.
"So what's on the market then?" I asked Daunt who stretched his already large arms over his head, his shoulder blades popping loudly in place before dropping them to his sides.
"Well first I gotta ask, how's your fighting?"
"Uuuuuuuuh."
"I see well if you think you can avoid fighting with AT's then well that's pretty naive of you but I can't blame ya, so for now we are going to fight."
"We're gonna what n-AH!" my eyes bulged in shock as I felt skidded backwards, my stomach in pain as I took a full on punch from the giant of a man in front of me.
"Come on AT combat is all about movement, the difference between beginners and intermediate AT riders are their skill AKA can they put up a fight in the middle of the air or won't they." Daunt explained as I slowly got my bearings.
"For now I'm just going to test you by fighting, such as if you can take a punch from a vetren Stormrider." Daunt explained while I just looked up and glared at the guy.
"Now that's the look of a stormrider come on hit me with your best shot."
Throwing myself forwards my AT's shot me directly towards Daunt, leaping up I held my hand back ready to throw a punch but was met with a large AT covered kick to my left side throwing me to the ground with a thud.
"AT while great tools are dependent on the user's movements the time the users ignore their tools is when the match is already set, now try again." Daunt lectured as I slowly crawled back onto my feet feeling pain in my body from the hard hits I took.
This was going to be a long lesson.
"Start off with morning exercises he says, try and get into a couple fights from time to time he says, well fuck you Daunt! And fuck your trainning!" I yelled out as I casually road through the Tokyo suburbs my body tired and bruised from the beat down I got from Daunt who also out of nowhere decided to give me a goddamn todo list.
Ah yes everything was just fine and dandy for this young man.
Taking a familiar turn down an alleyway I sometimes took from time to time but this time I immediately put on the breaks when I found a group of people in the middle of said alleyway.
"Well well well look at who decided to come down our little alleyway." One of the guys exclaimed as their Purple coats and their skull helmets didn't do much to hide who these guys were.
Skullsaders.
"What do you guys want, if you can't already see I'm kind of in pain already." I exclaimed with a frown feeling more exhausted than tired now these chumps came in.
"Well then we'll make this short there's a tax for moving around this alleyway and all those that walk past have to pay the fee, now since we've seen you come down this alleyway say about twenty time or so your tax will be a hundred thousand yen."
"Ok, bye." I said turning around and slowly riding off off only to stop as a pair of guys stood at the entrance of the alleyway. "Oh fuck me really you guys are seriously going to do this? For fuck sake this is my luck isnt it after one month of good stuff it just goes to god damn shit, you know what fuck this, fuck you and you and you can suck a thirteen inch dildo ya bald headed pin!"
"I mean seriously what kind of woman would outright have sex with a man who decided to get a stupid ass tattoo of their damn Stormrider emblm on their damn heads? I tell you who a guy who's never had his dick suck and instead has had to do the sucking, so take your fucking tax, your fucking shitty bald head and go shove it up where the sun don't shine ya Cuck."
"Oh and one more thing," darting at full speed to said bald headed guy I grabbed his head and pulled it downwards to meet my upcoming knee that slammed into his nose. "Fuck you!"
The guy flew over and slammed into the ground with a thud and didn't bother to get up leaving everyone else in the alley to stop and stare at me.
"Who's next?" I exclaimed, cracking my knuckles ready to either get my ass handed to me or kick some dicks.
"I'm home!" I yelled out to the Inn as I quietly limped over to the living room where I found the familiar sight of Rika watching TV.
"Hey what took you-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?" Rika screeched staring at me in horror.
"Want the before injuries or the after cause there's a big difference between both of them." I joked before feeling myself forcefully pulled down into a sitting position.
"Funny now where the hell did you get these injuries?" Rika questioned as she moved to the kitchen where she now kept the first aid kit.
"Well I was doing some training with my boss turned out he was well versed in AT's and that ended with being slightly bruised then I got into a fight with a stormrider team that tried to mug me for a hundred grand and then proceeded to beat the shit out of them and to be honest I kinda blanked out after I had a small rant and here I am." I explained quite painfully oblivious as to how bizarre and weird it sounded to most normal people, thank fuck Rika is not one of those normal people.
"Sigh you have got a serious problem with getting yourself hurt and here I thought you were smarter than that." I heard Rika say in a tired tone of voice. "One of these days you're going to come home and I'm not going to be able to fix you up."
"Make it sound like I always get patched up there." I said in a joking tone but when I saw Rika pause for a moment, looking at her hand I saw it shook realizing my mistake I was quick to grabbing her hand pulling her out of something. "Rika hey it's alright I'm here can't really go anywhere."
With that said I felt Rika pull me in her arms quickly wrapping themselves around my torso hugging me close out of nowhere.
"Whoa l-lets calm do-"
"Sniff I'm sorry I-I don't know what's gotten into me." Rika sniffled as I felt my shoulder start to get wet.
"Hey look at me," I said pulling back and pushing Rika's head upwards, tears lightly rolling down her cheeks and strands of her hair blocking her pretty face. "I'm fine, in obvious pain but nothing new that I can't handle and it's not your fault." I said pulling her hair out of her eyes.
Huh always knew Rika was pretty but this is kind of pretty, don't know why but I could feel my face slowly gravitate to hers while face did the same a-are we about to-
"Rika we're home! Hey how is it-OH MY GOD!" Hearing the yell my head sprung backwards to look at the sudden intruder and saw Ringo and Ume walk into the living room looking at us with wide eyes.
"T-this isn't what it looks like!" Rika yelled out while felt my entire face suddenly heat up and quickly look away from the sisters.
"Whoa I knew Rika liked him but I didn't think she would be this ballsy." God damn it Ume, I hope she's being… not serious or am I? Fuck!
"S-sorry for intruding come on Ume lets go and get some cake I know this new place that just opened up!"
"Wait no Ringo dont-!"
Slam!
"-go."
…
…
…
"I'm gonna go to my room. I'll come back later and start dinner." I quickly said getting up quickly ignoring my pain and just started to limp to my room, only to trip on my own feet and hit the floor face first. "On second thought I'm just going to lay here in my own embarrassment."
"Look Hamish I-"
"Don't worry it was a moment thing I... get it, really I do." I lightly gritted my teeth as I twisted my body onto my back, this is going to be a long week I can already tell.
The next day
"Come on Hamish you can do better than that!" Daunt exclaimed as I was once again kick away this like a couple other times I threw my legs around kicking the air and twisting myself in mid air just so I landed on the ground with a skid.
"Your landings are getting better now again!" Daunt yelled out as I came at him once again this time instead of trying to punch the larger man I leaped up spinning my body around and threw my leg out mid spin kicking my feet outwards and felt the back of my heel hit something.
"Finally!" I heard before I was thrown backwards, spinning around mid air I skidded to a stop and looked up at the obviously grinning Daunt.
"There we go you finally got a hit on me, looks like kicks are going to be your main focus, now come on again." Daunt gestured while I just shot back forwards deciding to say screw it and go along with what he was advising while also ignoring the pain in my body.
Throwing a high kick and watching it connect suddenly gave me confidence as I pulled it back and threw another kick before quickly spinning out the way to dodge Daunts punch and ended up throwing a reverse roundhouse kick to the DJ's head who pretty much stumbled a couple steps before stopping in his tracks.
A large grin appeared on the man's face as he looked right at me before pushing himself to stand up straight and proceeded to crack his knuckles.
"Good, now for the real thing." Dauntless exclaimed as I felt an involuntarily chill go down my spin. "Let's show you how to fly!"
With that roar my eyes bulged in shock as the wind around me suddenly picked up and literally pushed me into the sky.
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!"
"This time we're playing tag and I'm it Hamish, use the terran to run and fly away from me!" I heard Dauntless exclaim as I looked around and found myself falling downwards.
"Fucking shit!" I yelped flipping my body in mid air before landing on the top of the roof top with surprisingly ease, skidding to a stop my mind went blank as I realized that I landed perfectly. "Woohoo!"
"I'm coming for ya!" hearing the yell I quickly remembered that was apparently a game of tag and looking up to the sky to see a huge grinning man falling towards you more or else gave me the motivation to GOD DAMN MOVE!
If I make it out of this alive I'm never asking for Daunt to teach me ever again!
