Kohlrabi stood in a clearing in the middle of the night, and judging by natural ambience there wasn't a river too far away.
The hybrid planned to take advantage of Mother Nature's 'natural training dummies'- far from civilization so that she wouldn't be annoyed or bothered.
The half-saiyan would take a minute to admire her surroundings before starting to stretch.
She would lower her hood and incline her head forward, stretching it to one side as she put one arm on her chest and grabbed the forearm with her opposite arm. Kohlrabi stretched her neck to one side until she could feel her shoulder being stretched before stretching her neck to the other side and swapping arms thus stretching the opposite shoulder.
And with that nonsense out of the way the saiyaness would sigh deeply as she allowed herself to relax.
Kohl would think about the various uses of Ki-energy. She knew she could fly and see great distances- she could even use it to increase her speed.
She only recently learned that Ki had offensive capabilities though, and that was definitely something she wanted to get in on.
The hybrid would open her hands and look down at them. All it took was focusing the energy into her hands, right?
Just like how flying required one to concentrate Ki into their feet and will it to make them levitate. It couldn't be that hard.
"Right!" She nodded as she reassured herself. Cuffing her hands close to her chest, she closed her eyes and exhaled.
The saiyan channeled everything out of her, letting go of all distractions. She would concentrate on only her breathing, her own heartbeat.
A heat of sorts would surge through her body and travel to her hands- which was exactly what she had hoped for.
As she opened her eyes she brought a hand up to level with her face, using her free hand to grab her wrist and keep her hand steady as she focused energy into the center of her palm. Despite her best efforts, she was not able to get any energy to form. She had more than enough power to create something that fit the criteria to be called an 'energy blast', but she could not get such an attack to form.
Kohlrabi wouldn't give up so easily though. She would continue to concentrate, charging up even further causing more heat to surge through her body.
This would create a brilliant blue aura that would surround the small saiyan's body and small traces of blue flame to engulf her hands.
Though this would quickly die off as the hybrid's body was not yet used to straining itself like that.
Kohl's concentration would be broken and she would place her hands on her knees and bend over as she breathed deeply with sweat now forming on her brow.
"Damn you.." She swore underneath her breath as she straightened up and wiped her forehead off on her sleeve. She braced her arms down by her side and shut her eyes, planting firming her feet against the ground as the same blue aura from before ignited around her much easily than it had last time. The aura wavered though, as Kohlrabi struggled to maintain it. Opening her eyes once more, the hybrid extended a hand up towards the sky and produced a low humming from her chest. Once again, instead of an energy beam being fired forth from her palm, blue flames would engulf her hand causing pain to shoot up her arm thus breaking her concentration and her aura- fortunately for her, the flames dissipated as well.
Getting irritated now, Kohl tightened one of her hands into a fist and punched a boulder at the same time causing the energy to once again surge through her and into her hand. The energy that had been channeled into her fist caused the boulder to get utterly destroyed by her single punch. Chunks of the rock still had traces of blue flame left on them. Both surprised and pleased by her own sudden outburst, Kohl looked at her hand and flexed her fingers. She would grin as this incident would fill the young hybrid with determination.
For hours Kohl would attempt to recreate the same attack and not once was she able to successfully replicate it. She would either burn herself and get angrier, or the flames would not 'trigger'. By the time the hybrid was ready to give up, the sun was coming up. She felt utterly drained from all the attempts she made at perfecting her new technique. "I won't stop. I won't stop until I'm stronger!" She yelled as she forced herself up to her feet and reignited the aura from before. This time, it was far more violent and spiked off in every direction it could.
Kohlrabi forcefully channeled her energy from around her body into her right hand, ignoring any pain that might've caused for her. With the Ki now concentrated into her hand, her right arm up to her elbow was engulfed in blue flames while the rest of her body had more of a glow to it. Concentrating harder, the half-saiyaness clenched her fist and willed all of her energy into just her hand increasing the number of flames and reducing the intensity of her glow. Raising the fist above her head, Kohl would yell as she brought the fist down into the ground as hard as she could. The sudden decent-sized crater that appeared beneath her startled her and caused her to lose her footing as she fell and landed on her rear.
With her right hand slightly burnt and her sleeve a little bit scorched, the hybrid sighed and laid down on her back. She would stare at the sky as the sun made its way further up, lighting the area around her. Though her entire body ached and her hand hurt like all hell, Kohl forced herself to sit up. As comfortable as the ground felt right now.. It probably wasn't a good idea to go passing out in the middle of nowhere- and besides that, there was still plenty of time left to train!
By noon, Kohlrabi was able to fire basic Ki blasts from her hands without hurting herself. For a target dummy, she used a nearby cliff-face, which was perfect as she didn't have to hold back on it and worry about destroying the entire thing unlike trees and boulders. She didn't have any incentive or influence when it came to pushing herself, all she wanted to do was strong. She didn't care for numbers and things like that, but if that's what it took for others to look at her and think of her as a warrior rather than a child then she would do anything.
She didn't care who she had to fight or who she had to kill. Kohlrabi would do anything to prove herself and become stronger, nothing was going to stand between her and her ultimate goal. If she had to beat a few people to a bloody pulp or even kill them, she would do it knowing it was bringing her one step closer to being the strongest.
As passion and rage coursed through her, her ability to control her energy greatly improved and soon enough she was maintaining a healthy blue aura without putting much thought into it. Raw emotion was the key- or so she was quickly figuring out. Taking deep breaths and backing away from the cliff-face, Kohl discharged all of her energy into her fist and her feet, before dropped into a half crouch. The energy in her feet propelled her forward at a great speed leaving a blazing trail of azure flames behind, adding more force to her energy-fueled punch.
Because she had better control of her Ki, Kohl's second time using her newly developed attack left an even larger crater than it had last time- of course, this one was in a cliff-face. Her hand hadn't felt burnt this time either, which made for another plus she supposed. Nothing could beat the fact she now had an offensive attack, though.. One that had good potential.
After a short break, Kohlrabi would work on charging and suppressing her Ki. Anyone that knew what a scouter was would know that everyone had a 'Ki signature', otherwise known as a power level. For potential future situations she did not want to be a shining beacon. She hadn't planned on pissing anyone off to the point she would be hunted but she did not want to regret not investing more time in learning to suppress her Ki if she did something truly stupid.
She would brace her hands by her sides, clenching them into fists as she firmly planted her feet once more. A blue aura would begin to emanate from her, starting as a faint glow and quickly growing into something more reminiscent of fire. Gritting her teeth, she forced more energy out thus causing the aura to start acting violently and grow in size. Her goal was to increase her power through forcing more of her energy out then hiding her ki signature while still keeping the benefits of having charged up. The best way to explain it was as if it were a dagger underneath a cloak.. The dagger is there, but no one can see it until it's pulled out and being used to stab someone.
Soon enough, Kohl had grown accustomed to keeping her energy hidden from prying eyes. Of course, she had no one to verify she had successfully hidden her Ki signature but she felt she had really gotten it- at least to some degree. Even then, the sun was beginning to sleep and she had not slept for a little under twenty hours. And she was definitely feeling it, as she was unable to stay focused and her head felt heavy.
"Suppose its a good as time as any to call it a day.." The tired hybrid yawned before starting to go home so that she may pass out. It would be a good rest, as the young half-saiyan was extremely happy with herself and felt she deserved the rest. And for the first time in years, she had slept dreamlessly.
