The demon boy didn't really know what to do, after taking so long training with somebody else, and only one other person, he didn't quite know what to do with his newly found free and alone time. Being with somebody alone for an entire year was very interesting but perhaps it was hard to come out without consequences, like having to do something without that person is very taxing on the mind after all that time together. He shook his head, not wanting to think of it in a bad light as his mind was almost making it out to be, he actually very much enjoyed the time he had with Atsuko, and he grew very close to her as a result, ending up having very complicated feelings for others to be able to come to terms with, with it only being a day in the real world and all of that, but he didn't mind himself, he perfectly accepted his feelings and even wanted to act upon them some day if he could, though that could end up being hard if he couldn't accept himself as he was for the time being. He had to remember not to be needy or dependent of the other person, he had to be independent, but for the time being, the isolation from all others aside from that person was making him want to be near that person, as one twentieth of his life was spent with them. Before his thoughts drew on too far, he slowly looked up at a volcanic mountain, it appeared to be quite steep and dangerous, it was probably active as well, from he looks of things.
He slowly thought to himself, that maybe this could be his chance to train a little bit more, perhaps learn to fly? That way he could return to the lookout a lot easier, and maybe even just travel a lot more and be more useful in battle, too. He started to make his way to the top of the cliff face, there was determination running through his veins, this was his chance to get a little more independent, he was just training for a year with somebody, training alone could help him reach that goal, but perhaps maybe there was something else to that little bit of goal than met the eye. As he reached the summit, he slowly peered over into its apparently dormant base. It had signs of possible eruptions in the past, and even signs of becoming active after a period of dormancy. The demon boy doing something like this was insane, but he sort of trusted the dormant pits to remain that way until he was done.
With a small sigh, the demon boy would stand up tall, giving himself a little bit of stretching time before gathering his ki and trying to force it beneath himself. He didn't know any per say way to learn flight easily, but he hoped and thought that his way was going to work, it made actual sense to him so that made him want to try it. Plus, he was at the very least good at controlling ki now, and the ability to learn flight was supposedly an easy one to do, making him sort of proud and confident in his abilities to do so. With that, he courageously took a step off, falling downward rapidly before setting in motion, his ki to try to levitate him upwards, in fact it worked, for only a few seconds then it broke and be began falling once more. He certainly wasn't planning on dying that day, but he didn't know if he had a choice in the matter on getting hurt a bit. Once more he focused his ki beneath him, trying to break his decent and force him the other way it worked once more and sent him all the way back up to the top, but once he tried to move to the side he basically tripped and face planted on the side, almost falling once more but his hand catching the edge of the cliff face. It took a bit more willpower, but in the end he was able to struggle himself up. He needed more work on being able to stay going up and going off to the sides.
Bernael sighed lightly as he got some char on his clothes, so he would start patting it off. He would begin to intensely focus, he got it to work but he wasn't doing to well, maybe he had to find a way to make transferring his ki there as a primary auto function, like blinking or breathing, as he would have to break focus from it when he was trying to go to specific places which is why it probably broke out of nowhere, no doubt. He tried to subconsciously put his ki underneath him, and he almost forgot he did it before he just took a step off, well, took a step forward that was. It seemed that the boy was just in the air now, he was at least levitating in mid air he tried to move forward and he staggered a bit but he stayed aloft. He slowly shifted into a belly laying position, and kept his ki widespread below him, which would be along his upper chest to his lower legs now, and he tried to move forward, he took the time to move around in mid air and he was starting to love it. "Hahahah, yes!" he would shout out, having near the time of his life, only certain people and interactions had made him feel better than this, but he liked it all the same. [Flight Learning Attempt Point]
However, he didn't want to stop learning stuff just yet, he wanted to push himself just a tad bit farther maybe even being able to learn another technique if he had the chance, but what could he do. He remembered seeing Jarvis do some sort of dodge technique, it looked like a transportation of some kind that left an afterimage in its wake even though Jarvis was in an entirely different spot. Could it be that it needed speed to be preformed? Or perhaps he needed to be as swift as he could, moving from one point to another without even the iris being able to understand, as it leaves something in its wake. Without further hesitation, he tried to swiftly move as fast as he could, and it did in fact leave something!~ A bit of dust that he kicked up when he hit the ground and then moved... The boy understood that he wouldn't get it on his first try, but he was sort of sad that he didn't make any progress at all, he sighed lightly as he slowly rolled his shoulders with a smile on his face. He started going down the mountain, trying to rapidly and swiftly move from point A to point B and check his progress, but it never provided any results.
A little sigh seeped out of the boys mouth. "What a hassle" he would say, he hadn't said it in a long time as throughout the year he spent with Atsuko, nothing was ever a hassle to him, it was more blissful to him than anything to be entirely honest. He smiled at the thought of it again, his mind trailing to other places he didn't really care much to meddle in just yet, this was meant to be his time, and he needed to remember that as he did this. As he was going down he tripped and started rolling down the mountain, hitting the base of the volcano and coming to a dead stop. This caused him to slowly struggle from his feet, not wanting very much to do anything anymore for such a pitiful display, he sighed lightly once again, things just weren't going his way once he started trying to learn afterimage.
"Hey little man, what are you doing in this part of the planet" a voice would call out to him, it sounded very hostile. It was in fact a big burly bandit, they wore unsightly clothing and just looked like a big muscle head to the boy, which caused him to gently scoff. He didn't have time to deal with some man like this, he wanted to learn not fight for the time being. The guy just began rushing Bernael however, who sighed in dismay as he moved swiftly again, trying to create an afterimage for the man to target, but once more speed was his only useful part as he didn't leave anything at all behind him. "Maybe it would work better if I took off the heavy weights... maybe not" Bernael would mumble to himself, rolling his shoulders while behind the man who was rushing him. The guy took the time to attack Bernael again, but by that time Bernael was already on his other side, tapping his shoulder.
This spiraled into a chain reaction of random hits and dodges, the man not even coming close to hitting the boy who had grown so much stronger in the past year, or he guessed it would be past day. "You're not worth my time small fry" the boy would say, kicking the man lightly once, but this would send the man falling quite a bit forward, even though the man was barely hit. "You'll need quite a few more years under your belt in order to be able to beat me" he would say, smiling down at the bandit "But that is assuming that I don't get any stronger at all myself" he would add on, turning and starting to move away from the man on the floor. He definitely wasn't worth the boys time and he would start heading away from mount kiwi now, rolling his shoulders feeling his heavy weight flak jacket underneath all of it, and he didn't really care for it too much anymore. He didn't dare take it off though, the payout was way too big compared to his little complaints that he had with the equipment. "Maybe I am not putting enough ki into it... that could be the issue" the demon boy said to himself, looking up at the sky. Right then he would put all of his ki into moving swiftly, aiding his movement and trying to also not leave a ki trail as he did so. When he looked back he saw his mirror image, standing exactly as he was before, not moving and not changing, it was sitting still. It wasn't exactly a perfect clone or anything but it was a mirror image no less. The boy chuckled to himself as he put his hand through it, it dissipating into the air as he did so.
He replicated the same conditions over and over again, and the results kept pouring out for him to see, he was quite happy with it for the time being, but perhaps he would need to do something more with it in the future, make it more a perfect image that he could fool people with. He mused with the thought a little more before turning to depart from the mountain again. [Zanzoken/Afterimage Learning Attempt Point] And once more he would go back to thinking about the time he spent in the time chamber, was it really that worth it? He thought it was, he got to get so much closer with somebody that he liked, and he started to develop enhanced feelings for them, that was something he missed from when he changed some time ago, and he was happy to have it back. But he just kept those thoughts in his mind as he continued on into the world, looking for something more to do, a thought that occurred in his head was that perhaps he should cut his hair, it grew out quite a lot from the last year and he didn't need to keep it, yeah, that is what he could do next.
