Welcome to Gaia! ::

The next day started early for the former Xim Academy teacher Vergil. There was no doubt that questions were going to be raised to those who were unaware. The teachers would already know his situation but the students were another situation. Yes, the substitute from last night delivered him the techniques that he needed to study but he didn't want to be bothered by any students who may not believe what he had to say. On the contrary he would be getting to know some students here. He may even be able to grow bonds with people here at the Academy. With the curriculum in her hands Vergil Ligrev was her own teacher. His training was about to commence now. A good thing about having the entire curriculum was that the demon had a jump start. It was less than a week and already he was shooting for the top while other students were not even climbing yet.

Vergil could formulate the training program to his desire, with the limits being his imagination. If the Demon wanted to start off with more difficult techniques followed by basic ones that was possible. Vergil's demon blood that he was not aware of yet was also running through her veins. From his view, all he knew that day he attacked Dimitri was that he felt an enormous burst in power. Even though his transformation was unlocked at the moment, his demon blood would still assist him. The results the training had to offer would most likely come easier for him. Moves and conditioning that was prepared for Reiko and that had left the platinum haired warrior dazed and exhausted should only leave Vergil with minimal to no side effects.

It was morning where Vegil isolated himself from the other students at the West City.. It was still dark and the majority of the students and teachers were still asleep. The only ones who were students who had the same mindset similar to the demon; getting training out of the way early as possible to have the rest of the day to themselves. Also, to get a better grasp on a technique so when it was time to show their teachers what he or she learned, there was a better chance of pulling it off. Vergil of course didn’t have to worry about small problems such as those. The demon was skimming through the portfolio that contained the basics one more time before placing it under his left arm. The first move that Vergil was going to pull off was Ki blast. It was a simple, yet effective maneuver that he had to learn to survive out in this jungle. Sonya was wise in putting a lot of detail into the moves that were listed. Especially Ki energy and what it was, where it came from, etc. The more that Vergil read more about the Ki blast, the more it reminded the demon of his Evil Impulse technique.

The technique was first revealed by perhaps the strongest demon that there ever was: Arubad. With Arubad having the title of Demon King not only did it pump fear into the lower class demons but to the humans and other races as well. As mentioned before Vergil’s demon blood surging throughout his body would giver her advantage through her training. The demon knew that just by reading the material that the Ki blast was right up the alley of his evil impulse technique. Vergil followed the directions given to him in the portfolio and extended out his left arm. He was going to transfer her Ki energy into his palm and form it into a sphere. It would be nothing new for Vergil. The second he engaged in the act of transferring his ki into his free hand the feeling felt too familiar for Vergil.. And in just a matter of seconds, beating Reiko platinum haired warrior’s time and possibly Nina’s, the demon formed a platinum Ki sphere. His eyes widened up in excitement as she witnessed the birth of his first technique. The color of her Ki was what made the technique so marvelous to the eye of the demon. It reminded him of the gorgeous hair of Nina. Plus with its color, it was in a different category of its own. His ki color was an original, unlike the normal red, blue, yellow, green, and purple colors.

“So this is what Ki is?” Vergil asked himself as he continued to watch his Ki ball. “Lucky for me my evil impulse projectile is similar, so some of these moves, and the channeling should be pretty easy.”

She dismissed her Ki sphere after one show. Vergil was more than confident that she could engage in the start up process to activate it once more. After all it was practically similar to the evil impulse wave only was a sphere. It would be the first of many techniques that Vergil would use in order to take out Dimitri. Even thought it was one technique, if Vergil would be able to keep up this speed when it came to learning his moves, he may not get a chance to see his teacher. He would still follow what she told him and learn from different schools and places that would only make him stronger. Vergil Ligrev would know everything there was to know about Ki energy and the West City Academy. Almost like what he knew at the Xim academy. Vergil opened up the portfolio and dragged his finger down the page where it explained how to initiate the Ki blast; giving it an imaginary scratch from the list before going to the next technique.

The all black demon known as Vergil Ligrev began to engage in his next technique that the portfolio offered. The next technique that he was going to do was a technique that was planted inside of the majority of all living things since they saw their favorite superhero perform the feature. Vergil couldn't believe it at first when he saw the technique. Did the West City Academy really have techniques such as these!? And what about the schools outside of West City Academy? Did they too, possess techniques that Vergil never thought he was going to learn in his lifetime? Leaning this technique would definitely bring Vergil one step closer in his quest of taking down Dimitri once and for all. The next technique that Vergil was going to do was the Sky Dance Technique. With this technique, Vergil was granted full access to the skies. He wouldn't have to be restricted by the ground any longer if he was successful with the Sky Dance technique.

Vergil Ligrev took the portfolio from underneath his arm and placed it on the ground away from him, preparing himself to perform the Sky Dance technique. In case this move was a bit too advanced for him Vergil had a back-up technique that he was going to do as well. From what Sonya wrote in with the Sky Dance technique, if Vergil was able to channel his energy to his hand in the form of a platinum sphere, he was able to channel that ki inside of his body. That was what the Sky Dance technique was about. It was channeling one’s energy or one’s ki energy underneath their feet and using that energy to repel him or her off of the ground. The Xim demon took a deep breath and tried to concentrate, allowing his ki energy that was built up inside of him to channel around his body for a few moments. It was just to get used to the feeling of doing it. There were other techniques out there that would require Vergil to put in more ki energy that what the simple ki sphere required or his Evil Impulse attack. Once the Xim demon, Vergil Ligrev got comfortable manipulating his ki energy inside of his body he began to redirect a percentage of his ki energy to his quadriceps, his shins and finally his feet. Once he felt the energy resting there, as if it was awaiting the next step in Vergil’s plan, the demon closed his eyes and used his energy to repel his feet off of the ground. It took a while at first, which was not a problem at all to Vergil. The man was patient and when one got to his performance, he or she understood that patience with techniques would reveal rewards. So when the demon opened his eyes, they revealed to him the lands outside of the West City Academy and as far as the eye could see.

The demon was almost fifty feet off of the ground, an impressive feature for anyone trying this move for the first time. That was, if a student of the West City Academy was able to pull off such height in a difficult move. The platinum haired warrior, Reiko was able to pull of the Sky Dance technique but due to the restrictions of his body his body became more exhausted. The demon laughed in an excited tone as he moved around a little bit without any excess strain on his body. Not only was that another technique that he learned in such short time but the demon was able to fly! He was no longer bounded by the ground; no more long trips that involved sore feet at the end of the travel. With this technique any destination became so much quicker to get to. If he wanted, the demon could even travel back to his home and amaze the young warriors with his new talents. Perhaps he could persuade some teachers, or even Sonya to join them. Any ally was important for his task in taking down Dimitri; especially if those allies were someone that had the same motive as him. The platinum haired demon was so excited that he was able to perform a technique a high percentage of the people on earth would not be able to do or see that he quickly went to his next technique.

The platinum haired demon kept his position in the air as he began to close his eyes and concentrate on his breathing, doing exactly what Sonya told him to do inside of the notes of the portfolio. She wrote inside to focus on his breathing and his energy to conjure up his own Ki energy and then use that to sense the lifeline of the creatures and people that was around the Platinum haired demon. The first few quick breaths he took were nothing special or new to him. In reality he did not really need the warm up to do the Ki sense. In the condition he was in right now, even afloat he was not tired yet and could still keep going. Plus the platinum haired demon meditated a lot during his time at the Academy. It wasn’t a requirement but it was a strong piece of advice from the teachers to learn more about and accept and engage in the practice. Similar to the experience he felt moments ago the platinum haired demon experienced something he never felt before as his concentration began to fuse with his life force. A good way to describe it was a warm sensation all over Vergil’s body. At first he wasn’t able to pinpoint the location of what was around him but suddenly begin to feel strong ki presence around him. The platinum haired demon wasn’t afraid but excited for this was an experience that he has never felt before. The Ki sense technique reminded Vergil of the teachers of the Xim academy gather any information of Ki energy? It seemed like they got something about it when they canceled the aging process of the platinum haired warrior. The demon didn’t need something such as the process Reiko went through; still it was very impressive. If they knew about Ki energy then certainly they would not hide information from the black haired demon right? If so, it was an eye for an eye; Vergil had information on the Xim academy and his superiors had information of ki energy. Vergil practiced the Ki sense technique for a few more moments, scoping those around him without looking at their bodies before he descended to the ground. That was two techniques that he just learned, three in total. Vergil went to his portfolio and scratched off that technique with his hand before proceeding with the other techniques.

It seemed that after he learned his first three techniques the West City Academy offered him, plus the notes that Sonya provided the black/ platinum haired demon. In addition, the practice of channeling his ki energy and distributing it inside of his body and into other specific places such as limbs the other techniques came quick. The energy shield technique was picked up by Vergil much faster then the platinum haired warrior. All he had to do was distribute his ki energy, release it and manipulate it into the form of a platinum sphere that covered him like a shield. Just to get a good feel of the technique, he canceled the energy shield and performed it a few more times before he understood the basics of the technique thanks to Sonya. The solar flare technique was similar as well. All he had to do was distribute the ki energy from his hands that would be close to his face and he would perform the technique. The demon went to the skies once more, leaving his portfolio on the ground as he positioned his hands the solar flare technique required him. Once he did that he focused his energy into the attack and yelled out the name.

“Solar Flare!!!”

An enormous flash of light fired out that had potential to easily blind anyone that got to close to the blast or who was unfortunate enough to be unable to shield their eyes. Since nobody was around Vergil, no one was harmed during the activation of this technique. His last two techniques came to him easy as pie. For the afterimage, the demon had to descend to the ground to perform this technique. He figured that it would be easy for him to perform the technique on the ground. Being a demon he most likely had natural abilities the average person didn’t have so the afterimage technique would be easier for him. Sonya mentioned it was similar to the techniques he’s done. So once more, Vergil channeled his ki energy throughout his body, feeling it like an aura was present. Vergil got into a stance and dashed a few feet ahead, noticing that the feeling he had moments ago was gone. When Vergil looked around, he noticed himself, literally for a few seconds before the afterimage disappeared.

“Heh, I think I’ll like this Afterimage technique a bit more so far.”

His last technique to pull of was to power-up, which was one of the easiest techniques in the West City Academy. Looking through the portfolio once more, his teacher Sonya described it as relaxing a certain amount of energy, or disguises it. This would be a good technique against Dimitri. There was nothing worse than realizing that one may have bitten off more than they could chew. The demon powered up, concentrating the Ki energy into his body and felt it slowly fade from him when he powered down. Yet the energy was still there in the relaxed state Sonya mentioned. He practiced that move a couple of times before he took a deep breath. What other students were taking months, even years to accomplish, and the demon finished in less than a day. It was a good thing that Sonya told him the time to learn these techniques were going to be quick, otherwise he would have been disappointed. On the contrary learning the techniques so fast meant that he was taking quick steps to getting his revenge. In celebration, the demon picked up the portfolio, placed it back in his room and slept most of his morning away. Vergil deserved it and when he would wake up and celebrate on a night out on the town.

Ryan began the battle by charging ki into the Gunblade's six chambered cylinder, making sure that he was ready and loaded for when he needed an edge. He spent the better half of one full year training with his master on swordfighting alone. His technique was altered, as his Gunblade was a different weapon. One that was rarely used as it is not angled like a normal blade. Even more so is they were difficult to maintain if not made correctly. Luckily for Ryan, his was made perfectly.

Ryan rushed forwards, his Gunblade at the ready as his master pulled his blade and sat there. Ryan was expecting an After Image Strike, but he was prepared this time. He could sense where his master had gone to, and dodged out of the way just in time by use of his own After Image and fired a ki blast at his master. Like he expected, the master deflected it and the shielding around the arena dissipated it to prevent any harm from being done outside of the arena. His master used the time that Ryan had from recoil to strike with his hilt. "Focus!"

Ryan reeled back, but caught himself and quickly readied his stance. He didn't want to be caught off guard with someone who would use that in an instant's notice. Ryan rushed forward and brought his sword up in an upwards slash, a blue beam cutting forth towards his master. "ROUGH DIVIDE!" The beam connected with his master's sword, the force throwing him backwards, but he kept the block up, eventually deflecting it as he did the ki blast. He then rushed forwards himself, unleashing his own signature attack. An afterimage strike that made many images around the opponent and then he struck in from a random direction, this time from the back of Ryan.

But Ryan was prepared. He had extended an Energy Shield in all directions, making sure the impact was minimum. The master still broke through, but instead of sending Ryan flying, it just knocked him forwards a bit, giving him enough time to round about and throw his sword up. He quickly put his hands in front of his eyes and shouted out his attack. "SOLAR FLARE!"

Ryan raised his hand back up and caught his Gunblade, swinging it down in front of him and up his other side to displace the momentum gained by the throw and the blade spinning through the air. He looked back to see his master blinded for a short while, and took the opprotunity for a strike. He leaped towards his master but his Gunblade met his master's longsword. "Fool, I can still sense you even though I am temporarily blinded. Why do you think I did not grab at my eyes?!" He extended an energy shield of his own, throwing Ryan a good deal backwards, a few feet from the edge of the arena.

He took no time in waiting for Ryan to stand. A volley of low powered ki blasts were hurled towards Ryan. It was all the young warrior could do to keep from getting hit by all of them by waving his hand back and forth, his own ki ball deflecting the ones he could catch. Needless to say, a fair bit of them got through and Ryan stood, his clothes dirtied and his face scratched a bit. He was panting and hunched over a bit. "I ain't done yet...I still have one more trick up my sleeve."

Ryan flew forwards, his Gunblade held out as he charged the cylinder with energy one last time. He'd have to use a combination of all of his training if he was to come out even remotely close to victory. That was all he was aiming for. To be able to at least match some of his master's skill. That was all he wanted for now. He began by using an After Image, appearing behind, and then beside his master when the longsword came whipping around. Luckily for Ryan, it was in the opposite direction he was heading, and his master couldn't whip around quick enough. Ryan slashed and pulled the trigger, unleashing a shockwave of ki through the Gunblade.

His master went reeling and caught himself, standing up straight and sheathing his blade before Ryan could even recover. "We are done. You have done well. I am finished with you." He then turned and walked out of the arena and out into the halls. Ryan knew he wasn't one for goodbyes or anything of the like, so he just sheathed his Gunblade and left on his own, out of the academy and out into the world. He was his own master now.

"....." It hardly seemed that the silver-haired girl was aware of anything ever since she was dropped off at the acamedy. With her Ansatsuken Dojo underway for rebuild, she didn't exactly have a place to return to until then. The Red Ribbon army that had taken all the fighters that were still alive removed the parasites in their systems and pretty much dropped them off quickly elsewhere. The reason for Rosalia's lack of energy wasn't of the fight itself or the aftermath of the earthworm's virus - finding that Reiko was killed in battle was what got her. Closing her head as she kept against the wall, she shook off her thoughts again. Well... it wasn't like Reiko couldn't come back, anyway. She just wished that she had paid more attention to her comrades during battle.

"Are you still moping? And I thought that I'd find a strong pupil upon my return." Rosalia's head jerked upward to look at the person who spoke. The person happened to be her mentor that had been gone for several months, Lizaari. It had been so long that the silver-haired girl gazed up at her mentor for a minute without talking before shaking her stupor out of her. "I am a strong pupil, stronger than from before." "Oh? And so nothing about the fight I've heard about back at our dojo has nothign to do with your quietness?" Rosalia wanted to glare or scowl, but she merely blinked slowly. Lizaari smirked as she withdrew her katanas from their sheathes from her back. Instinctively, Rosalia pulled out her double-bladed weapon, weary now and much more alert. "If you're really stronger, then we should get started. After all, how else will I get to critize your progress?" "You will have nothing to critize, I promise you that." "We'll see about that!"

Lizaari moved so fast that Rosalia could only block before she could regain her bearings. As her mentor pulled back and readjusted her stance, Rosalia had moved forward to attack; leaping into the air, she slashed down onto the woman, who laughed as she blocked the attack. What she didnt' expect was when the winged girl disappeared from view and came up from behind, striking a kick at the back of her mentor. Grudgingly, the mentor had to admit that the girl had gotten much faster, and even stronger. Whatever the parasite incident had done to her, it was more of a benefit. But Rosalia wasn't the only one that had gotten stronger. Lizaari jumped into the air and prepared her attack. "Dragon Crusher." Her right hand charged up with ki energy before it surrounded her entirely. Flying at the girl with her entire body spinning, the ki reared up and took the appearance of a dragon as the mentor flew at her so fast.

But she didn't prepare to dodge; rather, she flew at her mentor with a golden aura that channeled through her body before it gathered into her right fist. "Murderous Strong Rising Dragon!" Leaping up to meet her mentor half-way, she did an uppercut as she spun to add more strength behind the attack. The two's fists met one another, and to both of their surprise, Rosalia's attack was more effective and had sent Lizaari backwards at the wall. Because of all her lessons from her mentor, Rosalia flew at her rather than allow her time to recover, her body flashing red just briefly. She halted in midair and released the Scorching Surge Fist technique onto Lizaari, who landed against the wall with her feet first. But she didn't have the time to dodge as she looked up and was hit by the technique.

Lizaari landed on the ground stunned as Rosalia flipped backwards and landed lightly on her feet. Rosalia was amazed that she had brought her teacher down for the first time. After several minutes, the black-haired woman began to laugh, and it continued as she got to her feet. There was new-found respect for the girl she had once considered less than a fighter. "My my, how the child can grow. Not bad, kid. You must have been keeping up with your studies after all." Lizaari went over to her and patted the winged girl on the back, who was a little weary of her mentor approaching so friendly. But this was how the two were.

The demon's celebration as a result of learning the basics of the West City academy was a night out on the town with some other students from the West City Academy as well. They did not pick up on the basics like Vergil Ligrev did but they were still good company and celebrated with him nonetheless. Their night consisted of non-alcholic drinks and partying at a place near Central City. Non alcoholic drinks was what Vergil preferred, thought that could not be said about the other students that were celebrating with him. Vergil could tell the ones that were going to push it twice as hard the next day and the ones that were going to slack off because they had too much to drink. The last thing Vergil needed was to have one too many drinks and the next day, forget what he practiced. Not only would that look terrible on his part but he would have to do all that training over again. In addition, his teacher may recovere from his sickness and expect Vergil to know the basics. One could not do that when they had a hangover the next day; well, a few could. But what did occur the next day was something completely unexpected to Vergil.

The demon woke up from his slumber the next day refreshed, eager to try out his new techniques on an actual being. Sparring by oneself was always a good thing but in Vergil Ligrev's eyes, it never beat the option of actually having a good session with someone else. That was, if the person he was sparring with was actually good and was at least up to his level, if not close. Those who were unable to hang with Vergil Ligrev in terms of performance were stuck sparring with someone who matched their performance. After the demon freshened up, he noticed that there was a note that was slid underneath his drawer. Was it more techniques from Sonya? Vergil got the note, opened it up and was pleased and excited about what it said. The note told him that his teacher, Sonya was back to one hundred percent again and that she would be outside in a few mintues. To kill some time, she arranged a student for him that was up to his performance. The student that Sonya assigned was similar to Vergil, in learning the basics of the West City Academy. Not wasting any time at all, Vergil went outside and the person that he saw waiting for him caused his heart to race.

"Nina?..."

The Xim demon told himself that it could not be Nina Yenosa. The last time he saw her was when he was at the Xim academy. Dimitri had just stated that he was here to take what was his and he was going to take the academy to new heights. He didn't blame her for not attacking for the platinum haired saiyan could have killed her easily. Vergil was more certain of this after his fight with Dimitri. After he was banished from the academy he did not hear too much from her. His spies at the Xim academy kept him informed every now and then to avoid getting caught, killed, tortured, etc. As a result, the information he acquired was very little. Vergil was glad to see that Dimitri did not get his hands on her but was curious as to why she was here. Was she in a similar predicament that Vergil was in? Whatever the answer was he hoped that she was on the good side, and not being a spy for Dimitri.

Nina's day turned out to be similar to Vergil Ligrev's. Instead of partying and dancing the night away, the platinum haired saiyan spent her night at the West City Academy. When she woke up it was in the evening, so most of it was spent meditating and having dinner at the West City Academy with some students. Unlike Vergils crowd, some of them pick up on the basics quickly. There were even some that knew more than Nina, but took the role of a teacher's assistant. Their good company made the atmosphere much better in addition to the celebration of the platinum haired saiyan mastering the basics in less than 24 hours. Their night consisted of some alcholic drinks, stories, a few demonstrations here and there, and light sparring. The night could not have gone any better. The stories that the platinum haired saiyan heard was interesting. Some were even similar to hers. Some of those students were here to get stronger and once they did they would go back home. Participating in the martial arts tournament was also a goal for some of the students celebrating with the platinum haired saiyan. Some wanted to go for revenge and others just wanted the fame and glory. Nina was interested in the martial arts tourament and would keep an eye out on it in the future. From what the students told her she had some time to train before the tournement began and they went in division. That was good news to hear; time to train and she would stand a chance.


The platinum haired saiyan woke up next day refreshed and ready to try some new techniques at a different academy. Last night she heard some students talking about places such as Central City or the kikoukenjustu school offeirng to take up students. The platinum haired saiyan was a fan of sparring just like Vergil was and didn't mind training by herself. She saw it as a workout; those workouts became boring when she felt she gained nothing out of her workout however. Then again having a good session with someone else that was just as good, if not better was a choice she would always pick over a lone training session. There were only a few in the category of speed, power, defense, stamina, etc that could roll with Nina back at the Academy. If he or she was not in the elite class they had no business trying to prove he or she was better than the platinum haired Saiyan. After Nina freshened up, she noticed that there was a note that was slid underneath his drawer. Similar to the Xim demon Vergil Ligrev's. Nina got the note, opened it up and what was inside was almost the same as Vergil's note. The note told him that his teacher, Sonya had recovered from her sickness and that she would be outside in a few mintues. Nina was suprised that she was ready to teach after her sickness. Or maybe it wasn't as fatal as person she met the first day made it out to be. The note continued on, saying that she did need some time to prepare and to make sure that they knew their techniques, she arranged a student for her that had a knack for learning just like she did. The platinum haired saiyan did not waste any time at all as she was outside moments later with her arms crossed. Right when she stepped out, she noticed someone in all black and had small streaks of platinum hair running through their scalp. When she heard the person called out her name, she knew that it was none other than Vergil Ligrev. She was suprised and shocked to see him here just as he was.

"Vergil!"

The two ran to each other and engaged in a nice, tight hug before catching up.

"I thought when Dimitri took you out of the Academy we would never see you again!"

"Yeah i thought i wouldn't be able to see you again either. After i got the boot i wandered around for years until i met a girl named Sonya. She told me about this place and i came here to train...to get my rematch."

"You're gonna go back to the Xim Academy..."

"Yes..is there a problem?"

"Not at all. After you left I slowly began to make my leave from the Academy as well, until i wasn't a teacher anymore. I trained here and there for a while until i got a invitation here to the Academy."

"Are you going back to the Xim academy after you get stronger."

"Yes. I plan to take back the school and turn it back into what it was before he got here."

"Well it looks like we're in the same boat."

"Always have been; nothing's changed." Nina smiled.

"Did the invitation say who your teacher was?"


"No, but they told me that she was suffering from a bad sickness until today in a note i got, where she's supposed to show up."

"Heh...then we have the same teacher then. I was informed in a note as well that she was supposed to show up.....and-"

"That they arranged a sparring partner for us to train with until she would arrive." Nina finished.

"Well it looks like you didn't miss a step in your training Nina. You always were a quick learner."

"You were as well, that's why we were part of the elite division."


"Well then." Vergil told her before he got into his fighting stance. "Seems like we got work to do. You may have gotten the moves down, but let's see how two years really treated your performance.

The platinum haired saiyan got into her fighting stance and smirked at Vergil. " Ladies first." she smiled.

Hurkon arrived at the west city academy after his long travels from the Break wastelands. He always stood out, wherever he went because of his green Namekian skin. He of course had no problem with this, it was his pride and glory. He despised anyone not green, and his aim was to destroy humans and anything inhabiting earth that wasnt namekian. This was largely due to the fact that he was raised not on his glorious home world, but on this dirty hell hole of a planet. He would wipe out the natives and claim it as the new namek. But first, he would need to get stronger first, and that is why he was at West City Academy, to train and learn all he could so one day world conquest would be his. He knew that he wouldn't be able to conquer it anytime soon, but he should soon enough. He just needed to be calm and bide his time while his power grew. If he didn't draw too much attention to himself, he would also have the element of surprise on his side, and his victory would be swift and grand.

But for now he would focus on his training. Here he would learn swiftly and soak up all info like a sponge. For the time being he would tolerate the humans and see what he could learn from them and later use it to destroy them. Walking in his traditional Namekian garb, he headed for the main building of the training facility. He would need a trainer to teach him the basics. He looked around and saw many people practicing their various techniques, and even saw a few people flying! that was quite amazing to Hurkon, as he had seen very few people fly before, all of them great fighters. His old hero and idol, King piccolo was also capable of flight, and Hurkon decided he should try to learn to fly as well. He moved out the back door and head outside, it made more sense to him as the roof would prevent much flying inside. He assumed right as an instructor was teaching a group of four humans, and a bear. Hurkon stood in behind the group and listened in to the instructor as to what it was they were suppose to do to fly.

"Alright students, the first technique that is learn able here at the West City academy is that of flight. This technique is rather simple in usage, however learning it the first time can be a little complicated. Basically what your going to want to do, is focus your ki, your energy throughout your whole body. Once it is spread evenly, Force it out of your feet, and this will enable flight. You must be careful to spread it out extremely evenly, as if you dont, when you dispose of the energy it will come out wrong and you could fly elsewhere and be propelled at a crazy angle. This also isn't terrible because being propelled from your back at a forward direction would enable a quick dash or burst of speed. But we'll work on that later. For now, just fly." When the human teacher had finally finish talking, Hurkon looked around and saw the bear focusing his ki, his face told the story. The humans looked a bit perplexed, and one looked like he didn't even believe this to be possible. However Hurkon knew it was possible, and soon he would master the technique. The bear was sweating now, and his tension seemed to be rewarding soon, as he was close to the even distribution of ki. He then tried to release it and the energy came out of his chest, throwing him backwards.

Hurkon then began his attempt, and stood perfectly still. He would need absolute quiet, and the students training around him wouldn't help. He then focused on his ki, and focusing it through all aspects of his body, his shoulders down to forearms, and even out to the finger tips. The waist down, to the knees and calves, and then down to even his toes. He was sure that now his ki was evenly spread, and begun to release it, through his feet. He let it out fast and shot up into the air. The trainer quickly shouted out before he fell, "Now, hurry and release your ki from your feet to stop yourself from falling." Hurkon heard the advice and slowly released ki to lower himself slow from his decent. He then evened out the release and halted himself in the air, about fifteen feet up. The students were astonished and Hurkon himself was even a little surprised, but he would never let it show. With a clam face he asked the instructor what was next. "Now your going to want to move around. It's easiest to think of it was a stream of energy flowing up from the earth, and whenever you move, say lean forward, you should focus ki to the area over the earth, in that case your chest. Then put more ki out of your feet to move forward." Hurkon then looked up from the instructor and attempted to go forward as he explained. By shifting the focus of his ki, he could indeed fly!

Hurkon landed after moving around in the air a little bit, the bear had just gotten off the ground. The humans began to believe in themselves and try to focus their ki throughout their whole body. Hurkon chuckled as the technique was now completed by his standards. He had done all he could for learning. Flight was mastered and now he would move onto the next technique. He headed back inside as the first human learned to fly, leaving the ground in the same rocket off fashion as Hurkon had just a few moments earlier. Once inside he noticed an older man in the corner and asked him what he was doing. The man said he was reading. This seemed very odd to Hurkon, as their was nothing readable insight. The man seemed to notice this peculiar look on he face and smiled. "Ah my young one, you must learn the ways of ki reading. This is an essential technique of all warriors, as knowing your opponent is half the battle. Ki sense is an extraordinary technique that will allow you to locate and read the power levels off enemies and friends, near and far. This technique also doubles as a way to control your own ki so that you can hide from others who can read ki. Ready to learn?" Hurkon nodded and the man continued to speak, "Good. Now start by focusing your ki to your stomach and stock piling it firm and tight." Hurkon nodded and did the opposite of flying, and focused all his ki to his stomach. "Good, now expand it throughout the room and spread it all out, as far as you can." Hurkon then sighed with relief as the pent up energy dispersed and spread out. He could then sense the ki of everyone in the area of the ki he expended. "See, the area is sense able by you. As you grow stronger, you'll get more ki. This will result in an area of bigger sensation." Hurkon nodded, as he mastered the technique.

The old man then stood and nodded, and turned to leave. "You know, you shouldnt have all that anger pent up, you just might do something you'll regret some day..." Hurkon didn't break his stare as he responded with words of venom, "Listen human, your days are all numbered, my anger is completely justified, and i will use it as i see fit. Now you, be gone. I am done with you." The man shook his head and headed through a pair of double doors, leaving Hurkon alone. He decided he would head outside to see what else there was to learn here in west city, before he decided to leave. Once outside, he used ki control to put out a sensation to feel everyone's ki. He located the man with the highest ki, many levels over his own, and went to him. He would be the one to teach him next. "Ah, welcome Namekian, your just in time for my next lesson, the After image. This technique utilizes speed, and your mastery of dodging. Essentially your dodge an attack, but you do it so fast, an image of you is left where you once stood. It is quite useful as you will gain the upper had for a few seconds and confuse your enemy."

Hurkon nodded, a simple technique, shouldnt be anything too hard. The teacher would then begin to demonstrate, as he instructed a student to shoot a ki blast at him. The moment before the attack struck, Hurkon noticed it flicked slightly, something he doubted the other student would notice. He however couldn't see the teacher move behind the student, while his image seemed to be destroyed by the blast. The student looked shocked at what he was done, but was even more shocked that the teachers image disappeared. He heard a man clear his throat behind him and turned to see his teacher there, alive and well. Hurkon smirked, it was an excellent trick, and one he would need to learn. Well if learning was required, he had already learned it by observation. Move fast and the image stays. He then tried it himself and moved away from the group, looking back he just caught his past image disappearing. He then looked around, curious as to learn the ki blast that the other student had performed. He then noticed a shooting range style set up and headed over. If there was to be ki lessons, it'd be there.

He entered the booth and heard over a loud speaker his instructions. "Start by focusing ki to your whole arm, make it full and powerful. Next, force the ki from your shoulder down, an notice it build up in your hand and wrist area. Next, push from your wrist to your hand completely and force the ki out, expelling it all at once. The resulting is the ki blast. This is the basics, and all techniques are based off this principle. Take it to heart." Hurkon nodded and did as he was instructed, focusing the ki to his right arm, while he raised it and aimed for the target down course. He then began the ki press and forced it all to his hand. From there he did the final expulsion of ki and the blast shot out from his palm, lighting the dummy up. He smiled and determined he had learned all he could from West city, and headed for the exit. He would take off in flight, and head back home to Break Valley, to learn from the elders of his grand race.
