Part 1: White Clouds

Training Begins

…

Jeralts vision was blurry after regaining consciousness and it took a couple of seconds for his eyes to fully adjust. He realised that he was in his quarters, in his own bed. Groaning, he slowly got up to a seating position clutching his head in pain.

"Man….. was I drinking? My head is killing me…."

But then that's when it all started coming back to him. The woman. Her strength. Punching his face. That blinding light. Just what happened out there?

"Captain! You're awake!"

He turned to his right to see Alois with a relieved look on his face, pulling up a stool as Jeralt groaned. "The hell happened?"

His fellow Knights face dropped once asked that question and let out a sigh. "A massacre Captain. We had to bury so many of our brothers who lost their lives. You're still not fully recovered yourself. The nurse believes you'll have scars from those burns."

"…and the girl?"

"Lady Rhea saw to it she healed the girl personally, though I don't understand her intentions of healing that murdering dastard!"

"Alois." Jeralt looked him in the eye. "That woman was scared. I saw it myself. She was injured, and seemed to think someone was after her. She was just trying to defend herself."

"I…." Alois started to say but sighed looking down realising his logic. "Of course Captain. I apologise for acting out of line."

"Don't sweat it, but I do want to answers from her." Jeralt stated, now moving out of the bed, with Alois trying to keep him down.

"Captain, please! You need to rest!"

"You of all people know it'll take a lot more than this to keep me down, now quit fighting."

Jeralt got out of the bed and walked over to where his armour lay, wincing at the tender mark on his face. 'Jeez, I'm going to be feeling that for a while.'

Soon after getting dressed, he made his way out the ward ignoring nurses and doctors yelling at him to come back. But he couldn't. He needed to know more about this woman, and Rhea had her.

Speaking of whom, was currently praying in her chambers and didn't even turn around when he entered into her chambers. "Greetings Jeralt. I hope you have made a good recovery giving how you are walking about so soon."

"How long have I been out?"

"Almost a week. But I assume that you're not here to make small talk."

Jeralt nodded, grunting as his injuries still impaired his ability to move a little but kept going closer. "Where is she Rhea?"

"She is right here. Sleeping. The Goddess was kind to her."

Walking beside Rhea, Jeralts eyes widened at what he saw. This wasn't right. The woman before him had dark green hair and looked paler than usual and had this silk white gown. He looked over to the Archbishop and narrowed his eyes.

"What the hell did you do to her?"

"The same thing I did to you." Rhea replied still praying.

"Cut the crap Rhea. When you healed me, my whole appearance didn't change did it?"

Giving out a sigh, Rhea stood up and placed her hands in front of her looking at the knight. "You saw her injuries for yourself? Then you would know how dire the situation was. I couldn't begin to count the amount of wounds she had, it was a miracle that she was still breathing. But…. my healing wasn't enough."

Jeralt was confused at this confession. "What do you mean? She's still alive from what I can tell."

"Precisely. She is alive, but far more frail and weaker than when she attacked you. Also, she has continuously mumbled about a 'Frieza'. Are you able to shed some light on this mysterious person?"

"I'm just as stumped as you are." Jeralt replied shrugging. "Whoever this person was, she was desperate to get away."

The two then heard a groan and looked to see Sitri waking up and coughing. Her eyes fixated on Jeralt as she scrambled off the bed ready to fight but collapsed coughing violently. Rhea knelt down beside her and rubbed her back.

"Please, my child. Do not strain yourself. You are safe, nobody will harm you."

"Who are you people? Are you here to take me away?"

"Listen." Jeralt knelt beside her. "We don't know any Frieza. Ok? Now let's just be calm about this."

Sitri slowly got up to a sitting position as she then noticed her green hair from looking at a mirror. "What did you do to me?"

"I saved you child. You were at Deaths door when we found you. It was the only way to save you, but fear not. You have my blood inside you now. It boosted your recovery."

Rhea watched Sitri observe herself and beamed. 'This is perfect. It's all lining up. Mother, you will be brought back. This is guaranteed to succeed!'

"Why do I feel weaker?"

Jeralt scratched his beard looking at her. "Rhea says she managed to prevent you from dying, but the damage was too much."

"It is the truth." Rhea declared looking at her. "You are severely weakened. As such, I suggest you stay here at the Monastery. You would be safe from dangers such as this Frieza individual."

Sitri just sat there staring blankly as it all hit her at once. "Gine…. My family…. My friends….. they're all gone. Every single one."

She broke down crying into her hands as Rhea looked to Jeralt. "Could you please escort her to her quarters? I imagine she is too overwhelmed at the moment."

Nodding, Jeralt lead the Saiyan girl through the Monastery who just kept looking down. "You know, I never got your name in the time we've spent. My name is Jeralt."

"….Sitri. My name is Sitri."

"Right. Hey….. I'm sorry about whatever happened to you."

"Don't be. You were not the one who destroyed everything."

Jeralt looked around trying to think of what to say. "So where in Fodlàn are you from?"

This caught Sitri's attention looking up at the taller man. "Have your kind never travelled through space?"

"…No? You're telling me you came from out there?"

"I would've assumed it was obvious based on my pod….. oh god, it's destroyed isn't it?"

Sitri then realised she was in a cosy little room as Jeralt shut the door. "Yeah, when I got to you it was just hunks of strange metal. Though….. I did get you something from the wreck, I kept a secret though."

Reaching into his satchel, Jeralt pulled out a small device which made Sitri gasp loudly. "My scouter!"

"Yeah, I found it in the wreck. Though it seems there are some things busted on it."

He handed it over to Sitri who looked over it and sighed in relief. "Just the communication component is gone. That's fine, I don't need that. Especially with me hiding."

"So…..what exactly is the function of that?"

As if everything that happened this past week didn't happen, Sitri brightened up. It seems that she loves explaining technology. "It can be used for a lot of things. The biggest feature is measuring power levels."

She then had an idea putting it on her ear, letting the green glass go over her left eye. "Hey, if you want, I can measure your power level!"

Jeralt just stood there as Sitri pressed a button, where the scouter started beeping and analysed him before stopping completely. "Hm. Power level of 197. Not too bad."

"Really? What's your one?"

Sitri smiled taking off the scouter and handing it to Jeralt. "Just place it on your left ear and press the button. It should do the rest."

Nodding to show he took in that information, Jeralt did as he was told and watched it calculate Sitri. His eyes widened at what he saw when it completed its analysis. "T-That can't be right! 780?!"

"Oh… I suppose I have gotten weaker now haven't I?" She said solemnly before starting to cough. "Back on my planet, I was around 2000. At least, that's the average amongst us Saiyans."

Jeralt couldn't believe what he was hearing. More than ten times his own?! "Jeez, and here I thought I was quite strong. Then you show up and made me look like an ant."

Sitri sat on her bed brushing her green locks out of her face smiling. "Don't be silly. If you train hard, your power will increase. Though power was a big staple on Planet Vegeta class system

"You have me interested. Would you tell me more about this Planet Vegeta?"

Jeralt then noticed she wasn't listening, instead she was looking at a potted plant on the windowsill. "What is this?"

"Oh that? It's a carnation. Why?"

She smiled lifting the pot to bring it closer to her vision. "I always had a soft spot for the vegetation on planets. Okay, I will make you a deal."

He looked at Sitri who smiled, despite looking paler than before. "If you bring me some unique flowers, as well as seeds. I'll share some stories of Planet Vegeta. Sound like a fair trade?"

"Yeah. Sounds fair, but you should get some rest. You look like you're gonna pass out any second."

Sitri nodded as Jeralt took his leave, but not before he heard her call his name. He turned around to see her smile.

"Thank you."

Jeralt smiled back and gave a nod, before he slowly closed the door on his way out. "Man. What a weird week."

…

"Would you wake up already?!"

Byleth let out a groan, slowly drifting away from the land of dreams looking at Sothis who hovered in a sitting position looking annoyed.

"Honestly, there has got to be more to your life than eat, train and sleep. You're teaching the students today, remember?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Byleth mumbled slowly getting out of bed and getting dressed. "I guess I was up later than I thought trying to figure this lesson out."

Sothis sighed softly floating next to her partner. "We have some time. Why don't you go exploring? You never got the chance to do it yesterday, so why not today?"

Byleth was about to reply when they heard a knock and a voice. "Miss Byleth? Are you decent?"

The two looked at each other, clearly not expecting visitors today but figured that it would be rude to turn them away. "Come in."

The mercenary saw a girl walk in carrying a tray full of food. She looked really young and sported bright green hair, similar to Seteth and Rhea. She smiled at Byleth and bowed with extreme difficulty due to holding a tray.

"Good morning Miss Byleth. I am Flayn, Seteths little sister. I saw that you missed breakfast today."

"What?! I did? Oh no…" Byleth let out a whine staring at the ground to which Sothis face palmed next to her.

Flayn giggled and gestured to the tray she was holding. "Not to worry, I took the liberty to help and made sure to save you some food! I was made aware of your eating habits so I made sure to grab plenty!"

But what Byleth noticed was the strained look hidden behind that kind smile. As well as the shaking of her arms and sweat starting to build up on her forehead. "Is that heavy?"

"Y-Yes it is, can you please take it?" Flayn squeaked now unable to hide her struggle even further.

Byleth nodded slowly taking it off her hands and looked at the food. A variety of breakfast items. It seemed Flayn assumed that she likes everything and so just grabbed whatever she saw. She wouldn't be wrong though, Byleth does like everything.

Flayn gave another bow smiling again. "I hope you enjoy it Miss Byleth! I need to get back to my brother now."

Sothis watched her leave and put a finger on her chin humming. "What a strange girl. So she's related to Seteth huh? I can see the resemblance. What do you thi-"

She stopped after seeing Byleth wasn't listening and was instead eating causing Sothis to growl, but gave up sighing loudly. "We'll get started on the lesson after you're done."

…

Byleth heard a knock on the door and was wondering who it would be this time. She was surprised to see Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude standing there smiling.

"Hey Teach! You didn't forget about us did you?"

"Forget…?" Byleth mumbled scratching her head.

"Yes Professor, classes are over now. We were hoping you would be able to teach us Ki now." Edelgard explained as Byleth had a bewildered expression.

"I've been in here all day?!"

Dimitri let out a nervous chuckle but nodded. "Indeed. We didn't wish to disturb you, as we know Flayn delivered breakfast to you."

Byleth slowly stepped out and closed her door. "Alright guys, you've waited long enough I guess. Come follow me, we'll go somewhere more private."

The three looked at each other and followed Byleth who had her coat off this time around which threw them off. She also had a different outfit consisting of a blue sleeveless top and loose gray pants, as well as black boots. The top did well to show off more of her body, specifically her arms.

"Woah. She is ripped." Claude whispered to his companions who took in the sight.

They may only see her back, but there was barely any fat on Byleth despite the amount of food she eats. It was all muscle, but not too bulky like Raphael from the Golden Deer. Easy to say, the three were taken aback, and the Adrestian Princess was too absorbed into staring at them.

"Edelgard, I hear that my father picked to lead the Black Eagles?"

Snapping out of her thoughts, Edelgard answers with a light blush. "Y-Yes. He is getting us ready for the mock battle next week."

"Hm. Then let's hope you can learn quickly, so you can show it off."

Dimitri then noticed that they were no longer at the Monastery, but instead in a field filled with flowers. "Professor, where are you taking us?"

"I told you, somewhere peaceful. I believe this is a good spot. Now sit down you three."

The three held their breath as they kneeled onto the grass. This was it. They were finally going to learn. Byleth, however, struggled to explain how it works.

"Right… so Ki….. is inside us. It's inside everyone, and if you train it properly… then you can use it?"

All she got in response were three very confused looks. Groaning, Byleth tried to think as she kneeled down in front of them. That's when she had an idea.

"It's like this." Cupping her hands together, Byleth took a few deep breath as they saw her hands start to glow. Soon enough a little ball of energy formed the size of a baseball as she held it out for them to see.

"Woah…."

"It… feels warm."

"So this is inside us?"

Finally getting somewhere Byleth nodded. "It does require concentration but you should be able to locate it and bring it out. That's why I brought you out here, to get peace and quiet from the Monastery."

"Alright, sounds simple enough." Claude said as they all closed their eyes taking deep breathes.

"Now stay focused. Empty your mind. And just try to find your energy."

They all did as they were told and tried to think of nothing, brows furrowed in concentration trying to understand what Byleth was telling them to do.

"Just empty your thoughts. Find the power. And bring it out."

They opened their eyes and focused their attention on their cupped hands, as if trying to will the energy to magically appear. "Edelgard, Dimitri. You're too tense. Loosen your shoulders. Claude, you're too distracted. Stay focused."

They let the soft breeze of the wind help guide them as they then felt something inside them. Like a heartbeat but warmer. This must be getting them closer.

Byleth watched them grunt and focus, sweat starting to build up on the house leaders as she saw something in their hands. It was tiny, but seemingly at once, all three managed to draw out just a small bit of energy. She smiled in glee as she imagined how far they could go.

But it was all they could manage as they fell onto all fours panting heavily. Byleth walked up to them and gave them a pat on the head. "Congratulations! You drew out your Ki!"

"I…. I feel like I just ran a mile." Edelgard panted wiping sweat off her brow.

"I agree. That was more difficult than training I've been through." Dimitri remarked catching his breath.

"Still though, at least we actually did it right Teach?"

Byleth nodded at Claude's remark clapping her hands together. "And all in the span of three hours."

This made the students freeze in shock. "THREE HOURS?!"

"Yes? Why is that so shocking?" Byleth inquired tilting her head in confusion.

"W-Why didn't you say anything?!" Dimitri yelled.

"Lady Edelgard!"

"Your Highness!"

"Claude! There you are!"

They all turned to see people Byleth haven't seen before approaching them. Must be from their respective houses.

One was a tall male with black hair and pale skin. He had lime green eyes which seemed to be looking at every potential weakness that Byleth had. It made her wonder just how many people were looking at her like that. Everyone was on edge nowadays. This was Hubert von Vestra, vassal of Edelgard.

The man next to him had dark skin and short gray hair tied in a ponytail. His blue eyes only fixated on Dimitri checking time make sure he was okay. This was Dedue Molinaro, the Faerghus Prince's vassal.

The last person there was a girl with long pink hair tied into pigtails and pink eyes. She had been looking at Claude as if wondering why he was sitting about out of breath. This was Hilda Valentine Goneril, classmate of Claude and member of the Golden Deer.

Hubert was the first to approach and gave a short bow. "Lady Edelgard, you did not inform me you would be out here. I assumed the worst."

"As did I your Highness. I wouldn't forgive myself if harm came to you." Dedue grunted as Dimitri finally stood up.

"Do not concern yourself Dedue. You know I can protect myself. Professor Byleth was here teaching us."

Hilda raised an eyebrow looking at the blonde prince while helping Claude up. "Teaching what? All I saw were you three looking like you ran a mile."

"Ah, it's just a little extra something Teach is showing us how to do. And I must say, I'm liking the progress."

Huberts eyes narrowed watching Byleth help up Edelgard. "What exactly is this 'teaching'?"

As if offended by the accusation, Byleth narrowed her eyes back at the creepy looking student. "For your information, they begged me to teach them. They're my students outside of class, I'm just simply making them better fighters."

"It is okay Hubert." Edelgard chimed in looking at her hands. "I feel…. like I can breathe easier."

"I agree. I feel incredible!" Dimitri laughed.

Claude gave a smirk thinking about that little ball in his hands. "So what's next for us Teach?"

Happy to move on, Byleth tossed a bunch of bags onto the ground and gave a nod. "This will help with your training."

Dimitri opened the bag and just frowned in confusion seeing the contents inside."Clothes?"

"Allow me to carry them back to your room, your Highness." Dedue said going over to pick it up. Grasping the handles of the bag the larger man gave a tug and grunted in disbelief finding he was having trouble picking it up. It's just clothes!

"What is this?"

"I recognise this. This is dark magic." Hubert remarked observing the clothing in Edelgards bag. "If I'm not mistaken, those are gravity hexes."

Hilda suddenly felt nervous watching the house leaders pick up the bags with serious effort, a little worried they might throw their backs out. "What purpose does this serve? It's just lugging around heavy clothing! They don't even look fashionable, so what's the point?!"

"It's simple." Byleth said. "Your house leaders will wear those every day until I tell them to stop. The only times that they can take them off is when they need to bathe."

All three suddenly paled at the thought of this with Hubert and Dedue trying to stop this from happening.

"That won't be necessary Hubert." Edelgard said, now ready to leave for her dorm. "I knew that it would be difficult going in, but I need to be stronger to lead the Empire."

"I agree with Edelgard." Dimitri chimed in having an easier time holding the clothes as he was physically stronger than his companions. "If I am to be king, I need to gain new experiences."

"You know, it's weird seeing you two agree on stuff." Claude chuckled as he walked beside Hilda who just shook her head.

"I don't get this at all….. but then again. If this makes you stronger, then that means less work for me!"

Giggling with glee, Hilda started pushing Claude to the Monastery. "Come on! Let's pick up the pace! The sooner, the better!"

"Slow down Hilda! I'm carrying… hey Teach how much does all of this weigh?"

"Around fifty pounds." Byleth simply replied.

Dedue was frowning looking at Dimitri with concern. "I would not like harm to come to you."

"Please do not worry my friend. I trust Professor Byleth with this. It's just going to take some time."

"Also, keep in mind I'll be upgrading you to one hundred pounds once you're used to that."

Meanwhile in the back, Hubert was mumbling to Edelgard. "Your Uncle was expecting you today."

"What? Why today?"

"I'm not sure. But he was very unhappy that you were nowhere to be found. My apologies Lady Edelgard, I should've been more observant."

"There's no need to apologise." Edelgard said. "This is a blessing in disguise."

"Oh? In what way?" Hubert inquires raiding an eyebrow.

"I'll tell you more on it later, but right now I need to master this power."

"Ah yes, the power of Ki. I remember you mentioning that. So that's why you were out there. Has there been progress?"

Edelgard nodded feeling much more confident. "Indeed. Though, there is much room to grow before I'm at Professor Byleths level."

Back at the Monastery, Byleth saw a familiar face leaning on a pillar looking at her. "Oh, hi Shamir! What brings you here?"

"I thought it would be nice to have… a little chat."

Byleth was about to reply that she was busy but then saw the group she was with completely vanished. "Ok then. What would you like to talk about?"

"I've been thinking about what you said yesterday." Shamir explained looking up at the sky. "And I was wondering if you could teach me this Ki junk."

"Wait….. YOU want to learn it?"

Shamir nodded. "I realised that as a mercenary, I can't just be a one trick pony. I'm skilled with the bow but my other skills need work. Which is why I was wondering if-"

"Of course!" Byleth screamed grabbing Shamirs hands and squeezing them in glee. "More potential fighters? This is getting better by the minute!"

"I'm… glad you're excited." Shamir grunted feeling uncomfortable with the hand holding, slowly pulling away. "So why not do it now? I'm not busy."

"Y-Yeah of course! Come to my room and we can begin!"

Giving a nod, Shamir followed Byleth to her room ready to learn how to harness Ki.

Meanwhile, the house leaders walked out their own rooms now dressed in their training clothes. Just like Byleth, they wore simple tops of their respective house colours and loose gray pants with wristbands and black boots. It might look comfortable, but they didn't feel like it.

"Is anybody else out of breath already?" Edelgard panted placing her hands on her knees.

"I can lift a lot but this? This is absurd." Dimitri said trying to stand up straight.

"Well, we COULD get some privacy and try and control our Ki more." Claude suggested trying not to make sudden movements.

"I would like that honestly. Anything to not move as much."

"This will take some getting used to,"

"Edie, what are you wearing?"

They turned to see Dorothea walking towards them, one of Edelgards classmates who looked at the three. "Is there a dress code I wasn't aware of? Oh that's right, Hubie mentioned your training."

Edelgard nodded looking at her companions. "If you'll excuse us Dorothea, we have to-"

"Oh, sure, sure. I'll tell your classmates where you are and to leave you alone. Don't want them to mob you now, do we?"

Dorothea waved goodbye as the three went to Claudes room to practice controlling their Ki. They all silently agreed no talking while they kept trying to bring out their Ki bit by bit. Of course Dedue and Hubert were standing outside the room as nothing would keep them from their duties.

…

"What in the world was she doing?" A masked figure said to Lord Arundel, Edelgards uncle who looked to the ground.

"She was with that mercenary. Not even Hubert knew where they were. She's teaching the three of them how to use it."

The figure leaned back letting out a hum. "This complicates things. And you are certain that she is the child of that woman?"

"Same fuzzy brown tail around her waist. There's no denying it. What do we do now?"

"Hmmmm…. continue as planned. Be more cautious of your niece however. She might decide to be too big for her britches eventually."

Lord Arundel nodded and bowed to the figure before taking his leave. Now the only one left in the room, the figure hummed. "We need to progress with phase two of the experiments… if that mercenary is anything like the woman from the church, then we are in trouble….."

…

"So just like that, huh?" Shamir said holding a ball of energy in her hand.

"You made that look so easy Shamir!"

Shamir chuckled a little dispersing the energy. "Hey, I wouldn't have gotten it without your help. Thanks a lot for that. So what's next?"

"Oh, well now you just need to train. It's like a muscle, you need to keep practicing to get better." Byleth replied.

"That simple huh? Okay, I can do that. Hey, can you do me a favour? Can you put those hexes on my clothing? I prefer wearing this and I've seen what you made your students wear."

"Oh. Yeah, I can do that. Just give me a second." Byleth said closing her eyes in concentration. She held out her hands as they started glowing purple.

Shamir watched as black chain like markings appeared on her clothes increasing the weight making her grunt trying to stay up. With it complete, the chains slowly faded in to the clothing as Byleth opened her eyes.

"Okay, that should be it. I made it fifty pounds just like my students, it's only to start you off."

"Thanks. This has been quite an interesting day." Shamir smiled lightly, picking herself up. "By the way, I have an offer for you. I've taken up a contract next month, you're welcome to come along if you want to."

"What's it about?"

"We've to investigate a matter in a nearby town, shouldn't be anything serious but the mayor seems paranoid and the pay is good. You in?"

Byleth pursed her lips considering what Shamir has offered her. It would be nice to travel, plus they could spar too. "Sure, why not?"

"I'm glad. I'll let you know when we leave, but don't worry. It's not until next month."

Shamir then opened the door and stepped out into the open. "Thanks for that."

"Anytime."

That's when a familiar face came into view. It was Jeralt who passed by Shamir and smiled at his daughter walking inside. "Seems like you've been busy today. How did the training go?"

"It went very well dad. They have brought out their Ki already. Shamir actually is learning to do it too, what about you and the Black Eagles?"

"They're…. an interesting bunch." Jeralt replied sitting next to Byleth. "But I can easily whip them into shape. Plus, with the weighted clothing you've essentially handicapped all three houses making it more fair for the mock battle."

He then sighed shaking his head. "Though there is one girl in the class who's a little difficult. Bernadetta. She's like a lost puppy, who can't stand being near people. The amount of times she thinks I'm going to kill her…"

"She sounds like a handful." Byleth said adjusting her wristbands.

"Eh, don't worry. It's still the first week so there is plenty of time for her to open up. You've been adjusting great here kid."

Byleth looked up at her father confused. "What do you mean?"

"No offence kid, but you're not a social butterfly. You always went on your own in fights except when your old man was there."

He chuckled seeing her cheeks flare up as he ruffled her hair. "But now look at you. Starting to think maybe you should teach the Black Eagles, but then again. You care more about the fighting than the paperwork don't you?"

Byleth crossed her arms and huffed earning a chuckle from Jeralt again. "I'm just kidding. You've got a good head on your shoulders kid, just try to contain your need to fight."

She nodded a little as she leaned back onto the wall. "But anyway, try and get some rest. I'll see you in the morning."

Jeralt have a light punch to her shoulder closing the door behind him. Then light shone in the room revealing Sothis.

"So. Do you believe they are off to a good start?"

Byleth nodded laying on her bed staring at the ceiling. "It's a start. But nowhere near sparring level, which is unfortunate."

"And yet, that mercenary is proving to be capable. Do you see a rival in her?"

"I certainly hope so. She has potential, that's for sure. But I suppose we shall see."

Sothis nodded and let out a yawn. "Well I think that's enough for tonight, I'm tired. We need to get some sleep now."

While Byleth agreed and got ready for the night, others weren't as sleepy.

Shamir was in the training grounds, squinting her eyes at the target in front of her holding out a finger. "Come on, work already!"

She focused on the target and gritted her teeth before suddenly a thin beam shot out of her finger and struck the target. Though, Shamir was disappointed to see it didn't leave a mark. It was progress though.

"It's all coming together. Let's try it again."

While she was doing that, in her own dorm room, Edelgard was sitting cross legged looking at the tennis ball sized energy in her hands and smiled in triumph.

Dimitri was experimenting with his and tried to expand the ball of energy to a thin point but grunted seeing it disperse when he tried. "It appears I can't do that yet. Need to get better control of my Ki."

In his own room, Claude was tossing a ball of energy from one hand to the next, making sure to keep it intact while doing it.

"Hopefully I'll be able to shoot them like Teach does. I can just imagine it."

As the night rolled on, the three students were unaware of how difficult the next morning would entail.

I decided to end it off here. I originally had another day of physical training planned but that ended up being way too long so I'm splitting it up into two parts.

So yeah, the three leaders have learned how to harness Ki and Shamir is part of the group now. She won't be actively taking part in the training but more like do her own thing. Trying to make her the Piccolo of the group.

I have planned 10 more students to be added to the Ki training group in batches. See if you can guess who. It's all students, Shamir is the only teacher learning it.

Next chapter won't have a Sitri flashback since it's a part 2.

Anyway thanks guys for reading.
