Training in the Soy Arts (Flashback)

Nasu was at the Soy Training Hall, training his hardest. The holographic environment simulated the northern mountains of Planet Natto, while the child saiyan spun around, throwing kicks and punches at an impressive speed. He was still rather clumsy with his skill and melee finesse, but he was incredibly strong for a child so young and small. He had some fury in his eyes that Natto lacked, and that even Tomoroko would only show from time to time, when she was absolutely mad. Nasu was a difficult child ever since he got out of his incubation chamber, where a whole bunch of people had to make effort to control him alone. Being born with a power level of 3,000, he was already an elite tier warrior, even though his parents were born middle and low class warriors of the Empire.

– Take this you motherfuckers!!! – the child would roar towards his imaginary foes as he kept on pushing himself to his limits, hopping from one side to the other while also flaring his ghostly-white ki aura, until he finally stopped to catch his breath for a while. Nasu reached the corner of the Soy Training Hall and grabbed a bottle of water, rehydrating when the door opened. He arched one of his eyebrows and stared at the door, expecting his father or mother to come and find him there; he wasn’t supposed to be there, but he hoped to take a ride on their parents training and impress them for his effort and skill, but, for his disappointment, the person who entered was Cornatto. Not that Nasu didn’t like the earthling saiyan, but he thought he was way too soft and had a name way too close his father for his own good.

Nasu grimaced and stared at him, folding his arms and scoffing a bit. – What are you doing here? I’m training, can’t you see?! – he said, ignoring the fact that he was still a Private, while Cornatto held the rank of a Major. Nasu didn’t hold a lot of respect for rankings and he could usually get away with it due to the fact that his parents were the Overseer and Sub-Overseer of the Alliance; not like they supported his dick-behavior, but most people didn’t know, or didn’t want to actually find out. Obviously he knew that Cornatto wasn’t one of those, but that was just the kids attitude.

The Child was cruel and mean and when Cornatto said he wouldn’t recognize a true saiyan by the tail, he retorted. – You just jealous of my super tail swagger! Hehehe! – he said, before trying to hit him with the fierce sledgehammer to the face. Then, when he said that a tail had weakness, Nasu chuckled in a mischievous tone and answered right away. – Only if you are a weakling low class shit! Hehehe! A Elite like me has long surpasses such weakness, moron!! – the kid said in an absurdly arrogant tone, but his arrogance would blow up on his face, as Cornatto blocked his attack with his bare hand, making Nasu feel very irritated.

– Damn you!! – he cursed, but, before he could say anything else, Cornatto hit him hard with an energy enhanced punch to the gut, making him vomit a bit before being send flying away adrift at an impressive speed. He was going to hit the wall of the Soy Training Hall, so much was the power of the attack, but before he could hit it, someone grabbed him at such a speed that not even Cornatto could see. Once the person stopped moving, it was revealed that the person was Natto. The Overseer of the Saiyan Alliance didn’t seem angry at all with the fact that Nasu was getting a beating and, the moment he stared at the Kid, Nasu’s eyes watered and he started whining.

– Dad!! Leave me alone! I need to beat that tailless bastar… - but before he could finish, Natto gave him a nuggie and he started complained and flounce on his arms to no end. – Dad, stop it! It hurts! – But Natto didn’t and had a very serious expression on his face.

Natto
[Power Level: 510,000]

– Stop picking up on Corn! I’ve told you already! He is my friend! And you must respect him too! He is a highest ranking officer! Now… You can either sit down quietly and behave, or leave! Because I’m going to train with him now. – he said, and Nasu opened his mouth to start complaining. – But… - he started, but Natto cut him short. – No buts! Now… Sit down and behave, alright? – he said in a bossy tone as he put Nasu back on the ground before patting him in the head a bit and chuckling in a more gentle tone.

– Good boy! – But Nasu didn’t seem happy at all. Still, Natto didn’t care much. The Saiyan leaped onto the titled floor and nodded to Cornatto, greeting him. – I know Nasu is troublesome, sorry for that! He is just too excited about fighting! Oh! Koma is here too? That’s nice! I get to show off a bit! Hehehe! So… Ready to train the Soy Arts, pal? – he said, as he cracked his hands and neck, warming up his body to the spar to come.

– Troublesome?! Who the fuck are you cal… - But before the saiyan child could finish his sentence, Natto glared at him and he shut up immediately, although, he was still grumbling there, folding his arms, with his small tail swaying from one side to the other. Still, Natto didn’t bother much; in truth he wanted to chuckle, finding Nasu’s behavior funny. ”But Tomo says that if I laugh I will lose authority… Damn… Parenting is so hard!” he thought to himself, sighing a bit in mild annoyance; if only his kids were easy like Kimiko. Speaking of which, he missed her and he wanted to see her, but he didn’t really know if it could, since it would effectively break their deal, and he didn’t want to cause Micaela any more trouble if he could avoid it. ”See the bigger picture, Natto… Don’t think solely about what your heart want…” he reminded himself, and then made a brief nod, staring back at Cornatto with his gentle smile.

– Alright, then buddy! Let’s do this! First, try copying my posture! Remember! Martial Arts are a mean to enlighten the spirit, but also a mean to kill the enemy, so it’s not really pretty, alright?! – he said as he slid into the classical Soy School fighting stance, composed of spreading up the legs a bit and bending the knees just a little. The right hand would be clenched and the arm would be tightly close to the body, with elbow bent in 90º angle, while the left hand would be just half-clenched, with the index and middle finger just bent, and the hand would be placed about a fist away from the mouth, used more as a means of counter and blocking than to attack.

– The next step is… To fight! Hehehe! – Natto exclaimed and then he rushed towards Cornatto at an absurd speed, so fast that it was impossible to catch up. He would start striking Cornatto with powerful blows, but being careful enough to just use enough strength so that he would feel pain and understand the logistic of the attacks. The Soy School used the sharp parts of the body in order to increase both damage output and the pain factor. It was a rather brutal style, quite ferocious one, which made perfect sense; Natto was a saiyan born and raised in the Saiyan Empire, as a child he had conquered two planets for the Empire, even if the first one happened by accident. Still, the second planet he conquered, Argavat, that was all he, with his saiyan brutal instincts.

Although Natto was a kind and gentle soul, he was still a powerful warrior and a quite capable and skilled one. The clash of the warriors would last for a few minutes, and obviously Cornatto would be responding to the attacks, even if none of them managed to even get close on hitting Natto, but the saiyan was improving and that much was noticeable and pleased the Saiyan Overseer a lot. – Good, Corn! Keep it up! You are doing great! – he said, chuckling a bit as he continued his sparring session. Nasu, on the otherhand, was completely awestruck with his father’s movement, so much that he would feel even a little scared.

He didn’t even blink, trying to learn from everything, but damn! It was hard to follow Natto’s movement!
