Water slide
"A reinforcement of times 8, aura reinforcement of 3, combined reinforcement value 24 times normal strength."
I breathed heavily.
"This is as far as you can go with reinforcement before you get into deminishing returns. I would have prefered more, but you work with what you have."
Sensei crossed his legs.
"Now you have a choice, Chakra magic or wand magic?"
I sat down.
"Benifits, weaknesses?"
"Wand magic is tool based magic take away the wand, or your ability to make potions and other things and it's kind of useless. Think of it as like a radio tapping into a signal, if you lose you antenna then all you're going to get is static."
"and?"
"Capable of doing a lot more, I use want magic to fix things around the school, clean things, for utility its incredibly useful, Chakra magic is more limited its kind of similar to Ki."
"And?"
"Ki makes you a lot tougher but it is more limited, Chakra has more possibilities but you're a lot squishier. It's good at illusions, walking on water and walls, your elemental magic will take a boost but if you run out of Ki your just really tired, run completly out of chakra and you die."
I thought about it.
"Chakra, with wand magic every jerk is going to break my wand."
He touched my forehead and my body glowed.
"So, like Aura?"
"Oh no, this is going to be a lot harder to train."
He motioned for me to put out my hand and cut it, the blood was mixed with some thing and he studied it.
"and?"
"Chakra would have an additive effect on aura, a muliplication of 6, plus aura thats 9, with your current reinforcement your future max would be 72 times your standard level."
He did more calculations.
"Where does that put me?"
"Just under Ukyo's level, it's nowhere close to Ranma's level or Ryoga's but their special cases even in the martial arts community. You're going to have to rely on preperation, utility powers and illusions, more then brute strength."
"So fighting Kuno?"
"Kuno is 20 times stronger then a human being should be, if he ever learned even basic Ki reinforcement that would triple at the very least, and that's just the basic stuff, if he really studied? Well, then he has a crazy amount of potential."
"Ouch."
"He has raw power, but that isn't enough, once you get to a certain level, you're stronger then him because he's static, unchanging. There's a lesson in that."
He walked me to a circle and I felt my blood pop and boil.
"What's happening."
"We're growing a chakra network while getting the energies already inside you to play nice. Just wait it out meditate."
I did that, feeling the new energy come in, feeling it mix with the others. When he was finished I felt stronger, better.
"Now we're going to have to retrain you."
He brought out some eggs.
"Your current normal is 9 times normal human strength now you need to learn how to move with out breaking people."
I nodded and let the training continue.
-------------------
"Breaking point training sucks."
Ryoga must have learned something new, that happened every now and then.
"He's a lot tougher now, but you know the tea guy I fought?"
"Yeah?"
"Almost married a monkey."
I blinked.
"A monkey?"
"Yes a monkey, sure it was the pet of another rival martial arts tea ceremony faction."
I massaged my temples.
"There is more then one martial arts tea ceremony martial artist out there."
Ranma put up his hands.
"I know it's, its completly stupid, then there was the martial arts take out contest."
My jaw dropped.
"And thats a thing?"
"It really is, I had to feed Kuno and everything, but the Tendo's really needed the money, and it turns out there is a martial arts take out school."
I cooled down our drinks.
"Ok, that's actually less retarded then the martial arts tea ceremony thing."
"So that takes me to the next thing, Happosai, my dad's sensei was sealed under a rock and he's free and I kind of need, um your help."
I looked outside where a man was cacking he had a womans panties on his head and the crowd was angry. I gave Ukyo a shrug.
"Well at least he didn't steal your underwear."
She closed the door and we watched the angry mob go.
"He did."
I blinked.
"Then what are you."
"I'm not."
"Oh..."
She continued sweeping.
"So I guess Ukyo's in?"
She shrugged.
"My pretties, my pretties."
Ranma shook his head.
"At this point he's just showing off."
I couldn't help but agree with him.
