The True Keitaro
Chapter 7: Get Up you Lazy Bum
It was a nice weather that day. The sun shone high up in the sky indicating that there will be no rain that day. The cool breeze of the wind from the North Pole gives a nice sensation for people who was in the field working or in any other way was under the sun's heat, same sensation does the clouds gives when little by little they tried to hide the cruelty of the sun. Indeed it was a perfect day to be outside.
"Get up you lazy bum!" Keisuke shook awake Keitaro who was sleeping under the shade of a blooming Sakura tree.
"Nani?" Keitaro asked still half asleep.
"There's a poisonous snake nearing you!" Keisuke said.
"WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?" Keitaro jumped up immediately and started to freak out, making his senses fully awake.
"Let's start your training today" Keisuke said casual walking towards the open field, as if nothing had happened.
Keitaro cursed Keisuke all the way until he himself reached the open field. At this point Keisuke can't contain himself anymore.
"Mwhahaha! Hahaha! Hehehe! Did you saw your face back then? Hahaha!" Keisuke burst out laughing.
"Rrrghh! Baka...!!!" Keitaro with all his might controlling himself.
"Anyway let's resume to business" Keisuke returned to his formal self. But still whenever possible laughter escape out of his mouth. He extends to you an armor suit.
"Let's first start with learning to be swift" Keisuke said as soon as he reached the middle of the field.
'This armor sure is heavy! I wonder what is he planning to do with this' your mind trailed off.
"Dodge all 50 pebbles"
'This is crazy! It's just like a kids game' Keitaro's mind trailed off.
"Ready! Now dodge" Keisuke yelled making Keitaro jump into his senses, dropping the armor he have given him awhile ago.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Keitaro can nearly move with all the 50 lumps in his body caused by the pebble.
"That armor weighs about 80 kg. You will wear that for the rest of your training today" Keisuke said pointing at the armor he gave Keitaro awhile ago.
"What?!?! But it's impossible to move with that! And what will that thing help in my training?" Keitaro protested.
"You'll see" Keisuke smirked at him.
"But I'm still injured! Can't I have a little break at least?" Keitaro said as his exhaustions started to show at him.
"No! After all you're immortal! You won't die in just a simple mortal training" Keisuke said leaving the field walking back to the tree near the river.
"Damn! Are you some sort of Su's lost brother! You two keep babbling about immortality" Keitaro said out loud for Keisuke to hear while he put on the armor.
"Yeah! Maybe I was her next of kin" Keisuke said sarcastically to Keitaro.
Just as Keitaro had put on the armor, he tried to make his way to Keisuke, but barely can move his foot. He tried and tried for another 10 minutes but just successfully made an inch step.
"I'd probably sleep here for the next 10 hours if you continue that kind of performance" Keisuke said putting his arms at the back of his head and resting it on the tree trunk.
"How'd the hell can I move there?" Keitaro asked but Keisuke is already snoring.
'I'll just remove this armor, drag it there and wear it again! Hehehe!' Keitaro said mentally having a faint smile painted in his face behind the armor suit.
But just as he found it hard to walk, he found removing it much harder work. He barely can move his finger, more impossible to lift his arm to remove the armor. Time goes he soon felt like he can no more stand in the weight of the armor. An hour had passed Keitaro collapsed in the ground. He knew that armor can never be removed, not with Keisuke at least. He knew if Keisuke was awake at that moment he would enjoy seeing his anguish.
"Damn! I could hardly breath" Keitaro said under his breath.
"If this continues I'd die for the next hours"
'Think! Think!' he ordered himself
Keitaro tried to close his mind, though he find it hard he knew that it was crucial at the moment. At first his was empty the only thing he could see in his mind is black, then suddenly a blue flame-like showed in his mind.
"Don't you just close your mind kid, concentrate your force in a particular part needed" the blue flame-like thing spoke.
"Who are you? And why are you helping me?"
"You'll know better sooner! But for now save yourself" the blue flame disappeared as he finished.
"Who are you? Tell me please!" Keitaro pleaded but there came no answer. Just then Keitaro quickly snap out of his trance.
"Concentrate your force to a certain part needed" Keitaro said as he closed his eyes. Just as he did this he found strength to stand up.
"Whoa!" Keitaro said in amazement to himself. He closed his eyes again and concentrated his force to his feet. Little by little he started walking. As he walk further his felt much easier to walk.
"I think I can get used to this" Keitaro smirked as he can no longer feel the 80 kg. But instead it felt more like a 40 kg.
"Wake up you lazy bum!" Keitaro yelled in Keisuke's ears. Keisuke jump up in surprise.
"What the hell was that for?" Keisuke asked angrily. "Wait! You already can move?" Keisuke got more surprised.
"Yup! So what's next?" Keitaro said energetically. Though Keisuke look suspicious at Keitaro he sighed.
"Well you should get used to that first, so 100 push up for now"
"Sure piece of cake!" Keitaro said proudly.
'That's what you think' Keisuke secretly laughed. Keitaro positioned in the floor. He knew that the secret was to concentrate on the certain body part needed.
"Here I go! one- Ahh...!" his face hit the floor just before he could lower down his body. "What happened? I knew I was concentrating, but why?"
"Because concentration of force to a single body part is just a simple basic, once the body parts increase to two or more at the same time it will bring you to a higher level"
"Meaning that it will make everything harder than the first?" Keitaro asked
"Correct! More concentration needed to be precise"
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"fifty!... fifty-one!... Urrghh!... fifty-two..." Keitaro says as he soak in his sweat inside the armor.
"Continue! No stopping! Don't loose your concentration!" Keisuke yelled as he munch down the roasted fish he caught awhile ago.
"Fifty-three!... Fifty-four!... Keisuke-san can I have even just a bite? Fifty-five!... Fifty-si-x!..."
"Nope! You have to learn to catch your own! Umm! Delicious!" Keisuke replied as he let Keitaro's mouth watered in hunger.
"Damn! I will starve to death if I continue at this speed" Keitaro mutters to himself.
"You sure are right about that! Yummy!"
"Fifty seven! Fifty eight! Fifty nine! Sixty! Sixty one! Sixty two! Sixty three! Sixty four! Sixty five! Sixty six! Sixty seven!" Keitaro yelled as he poured out all the last of his strength to speed up his push-ups.
'Keisuke, is he really serious of speeding it up?' Motsuhi asked.
'Well that's exactly what I'm planning to make him do! I really wanted him to speed it up! If ever possible I want it fast as speed of light! Hahaha!'
'You're crazy! You got to be kidding me!'
'No, I'm serious!'
'You're killing him!'
'You're the one who must be kidding! I can't possibly kill an immortal!'
'You really believe in that kind of stuffs?'
'Not really! But I find it a reason to push him to his edge'
"One-hundred!" Keitaro yelled with the last drop of his strength, as he hastily drop on the floor catching for breath.
"That's fine for now, I guess" Keisuke said nonchalantly.
"Fine? Just fine? You got to be kidding! I bet no human can do that! And yet you just called it fine? And even weren't sure of it!" Keitaro said outraged.
"Huh?? You're immortal that's why! And for your info I can do 1000 push ups in 5 minutes wearing that wispy armor"
"Wispy?! You call this thin?!" Keitaro got more outrage.
"Don't you worry! You'll be able to do that too in just a month! But for now I want you to rest for 5minutes and we'll resume the training"
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
'Man! My life sucks! After finishing all those push-up thingy! I'm here stuck under the waterfalls feeling its powerful water fall right into me and the armor I'm wearing' Keitaro angrily thought.
"I told you for the 50th time of this hour... STOP THINKING! Concentrate on your environment! Feel its rhythm!" Keisuke yelled hitting Keitaro's armor in the head.
"Ouch! I'm trying to!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Fine! I am not!"
"See? I was right!"
"How the hell do you think can I do that when I still have to endure the weight of this armor plus the impact of the water and the worst part is that my stomach is growling in hunger?"
"Well that's your punishment for not being serious in your training! So if you want to catch your own fish to eat, you have to be serious! Understand?"
"Fine! But what if I got serious and still I was not being able catch my own fish?"
"I'll catch one for you"
"That's a deal then!" Keitaro said as he closed his eyes...
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
'There no disturbance in its rhythm, I guess I can relax for a bit' Keitaro thought. Suddenly there's some slight changes in the water's rhythm its rhythm was disturb. But it wasn't a swimming fish rhythm, nor a rhythm of twigs, It's some larger and heavier that was about to hit him.
'There's a round thing that's about to fall right into my head from the falls... A watermelon? Dodge!' Keitaro jumped out of the feet of the falls where he was sitting. He landed gracefully on land.
"Very good! That was fantastic!" Keisuke yelled from above the falls.
"I knew it! It was you who disturb the rhythm!"
"Exactly! But can you tell the shape of the thing that I drop on the falls without opening your eyes?"
"Based on the change in the rhythm it was round and bit heavy, and the sounds it made when it crashed on the feet of the falls is something juicy! I also heard some solid little object scattered when it smashed so it is a watermelon!"
'He was good! I have improved greatly from yesterday's useless guy who can't even catch a fish' Keisuke thought as he was impressed with Keitaro's improvements.
"I guess you're ready to eat! So it up all the fish you can catch!" Keisuke gave an approving thumbs-up at Keitaro.
"I'll do my best!" Keitaro said as he stands in the middle of the river and closed his eyes. Keitaro swiftly buried his hands in the water with proper timing and removed his hands. Holding 2 fish each on his hands Keitaro jumped for joy.
"Hooray! At last! I'll be able to eat fresh fish!" Keitaro jumped up and down like a kid.
"I guess it paid off well! Let's call it a day then! Tonight we two will have a bon-fire party! Though you are still forbidden to remove that armor! So I suggest that you take that armor as part of your body!"
"Hai! Keisuke-senpai!"
"Senpai?"
"Hai! That's what underlings call their upper classmen"
"You consider me a senpai?"
"Hai! Please teach me your knowledge Keisuke-senpai" Keitaro bows down.
'Ohh! How touchy!' Motsuhi teased Keisuke inside their mind.
'Shut up!' Keisuke protested
'Hehehe' her laughter soon disappeared with her.
'Be happy now my friend! Cause it was just the start! Tomorrow your training will level too! And the pain will be much worse! I hope there's something I can do to ease it up! But your destiny has to take place' Keisuke thought sadly as he stare at the cheerful Keitaro.
Note: There's not much to say. I just wanna tell you that Keitaro will go through much harder training to obtain his destiny. So I guess there will be little more chapters to come before you learn what his real destiny is. Suggestions will be welcome on what kind of training do you wish Keitaro to go through. So till here senpais. Ja ne!
