Loutou was bored.
Bored, bored, bored, boreeeeeed.
He was lying in his bed petting Foxy the fox, his fingers brushing through her fur, with only grumbling and the occasional nips when they wandered too close to her tail.
Where was he? Ah right, he was bored.
During the last few months, he had busied himself taking missions and preparing for the tournament, but each time he thought it was going to happen, it kept moving a few months back. At this rate, he would be three years old before it happened! That was basically an old man. Even big ol' Gray, the oldest llama Loutou knew, was only four! And that was basically forever!
Noticing the pile of mission papers and notices sitting at the edge of his room in a neat pile, he had an idea. Maybe there was something interesting to do there?
Stretching his hand, he focused hard and tried to reach it! ... it was too far.
Then a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He had seen the funny elder Nianzhu make stuff move into his hand, so it was obviously a technique!
Quickly circling his qi through his stretched hand, Loutou felt the insights flowing towards him.
He could see the pile slowly rising, coming closer to him.
Yes, this was it. This was the so called enlightenment!
A sharp pain to the head interrupted him, causing him to lose concentration on his technique.
"Why is everything upside down?" he questioned after opening his eyes.
"Oh no, was the technique so powerful i flipped the entire building? How would i explain it to the sect?" Loutou started to panic.
Only to hear a sigh of annoyance as Foxy entered his field of vision and started dragging the pile towards him.
Understanding filled Loutou. He had not invented any technique! He had just flopped himself out of his bed and fallen on his head!
"Thanks, Foxy!" he muttered, taking the proffered notes and mission papers.
"Let's see," Loutou quickly ruffled through them. "Nope, boring, boring. Ooh, ghosts? They seem yucky." Quickly, he threw out the mission papers and came to an older note, one that seemed to have reached the pile a few months back.
All disciples are welcome to learn the new level of the Red Dew Technique created by the Elder of Enlightenment. (Any mentions of similarities to the Jade Claw Technique will be ignored and the perpetrators will be laughed at).
"That seems interesting," Loutou mused, his eyes lighting up. "That settles it, let's go, boy! We are learning a technique!" he called out to the fox, only to receive a furry ball of angry scratches to the face as he started walking out of his room.
"Huh, what do you mean you are a girl?!?!" Loutou exclaimed as he deciphered the fox's angry yips through their bond.
