The Gravity Training [10x] [Yami]

"Yep, I called alright," Beat affirmed, putting on a rather oversized tanktop after previously only wearing pair of shorts. His previous weighted clothes gi no longer in sight. It's probably already broken at this point or something else, but at least the red haired boy doesn't seem to mind. "So, first, please go ahead and do some bit of warmup exercise. I'll explain what's going on meanwhile."

Beat started his own small exercise, his power reading at unsuppressed 91.000. As for his training, it's mostly just some bit of stretching. The boy's body is really limber, most likely from all the parkouring since early age. "So, first, to join remnant alliance as a mercenary, generally you'll be tested by the overseer or one of his close aides. Generally it's a bit of a spar, you know, saiyan stuffs. There's a saying that your true character would came out in battle, you see... But that's not all. If you're too weak, you'll might gonna be sent to academy to learn more. Thing is I don't really know how strong you should be so you can get 'accepted'. While I'm sure my current power is impressive for a kid, for remnant alliance standard I might be just a mere cadet. So in order to secure your position, I need to know what sort of thing you can do."

This time he switched to do some jumping training. With just one jump he managed to reach so high up to the ceiling. His explanation is not done however. "When it came to teamwork, I don't think I really can mentor you on that considering I'm a lone wolf until I joined Remnant Alliance. However, if it's individual training I can certainly teach you some. I can also teach you some nifty technique..." But at the moment, if he fired a low level ki blast at him seriously, without doubt he'll probably vaporized... Beat winced at that sort of possibility. He landed on the tip of his feet with a "tic", perfect like a cat, just few feet away from Yami "But I can't really teach you without knowing what you can do and what you can't. Whether your self training is enough or not, that is what I'll be seeing at the moment. Sure it's just some month, but we can't disregard a training simply because it's self training."

Beat assumed his usual stance, balled left fist tucked close to the body, low body stance and right hand outstretched to guard. He made a taunting gesture. "So come at me, seriously, with everything you have. If you hold back even a bit, I'm so going to get angry, you know?"

While previously he looked like a harmless lemur, the feeling that oozes from the kid now felt like a predator that's ready to strike him the moment he let his guard down. The unsettling smirk of a battle maniac bloomed on his face. All the hostility he have at the moment is directed at Yami. While it's not a killing intent, it's seem he's dead set on making this slightly dangerous for the older teen.

STA: 3/3
PL: 91.000

This one is more ki based it seems, he noted. The way he float was interesting, but Beat prefer to be grounded for now. The first strike came. Beat's grin widened. He dodged with bare minimum effort. He didn't do much after that, only dodging the attack alone and try to give both unsettling feeling toward the older boy, both in way that say "is that only all you got?" and "if you're only doing this much, I'll attack you know?"

He seriously love sparring match. If he's in mood to be fair, actually he'd try to match Yami's own powerlevel. If he wanted to be ballsy, he would actually lower it even lower than Yami's own. However in this case, he got another goal. That is, to pull the older teen's ire. Feeling of being weak, feeling of being belittled, two of that he'll use as his main weapon to attract it. Now he hoped that the older boy won't think too badly of him. He doesn't enjoy this particular feeling of being absurdly outmatching his opponent either. If anything, he hate this feeling of superiority in spar. At any rate if he managed to pull that, he's sure that the teen would awake a power special for halfling like them, the hidden potential. While in his case he could use it as much as he want, it might not be so for Yami. he might need some more training before he could use it.

The next attack came. This time he noted, that it's seem to be rather dark. Nature of someone's ki is different, it's seem. Beat's own is blue when executing certain attack called Blast Stream. However, it's red when he's using spread blast. Beat this time decided to up his attack. He know how unsettling it might feel if he break the attack with an attack of his own... much less the kind that actually meant to be a normal punch. "OOOORAA!!" with a battlecry, Beat send his left first forward. However, he did not have goal to harm the other boy. He merely want to deliver a shock factor, hence he used about one-tenth of his power to deliver air pressure. The moment the air pressure hit the ki ball, it immediately exploded, leaving the air pressure nothing but weak hit that would knock Yami back if it's not dodged or blocked.

He wanted to see how would Yami act now. Will he got discouraged, or will he get angry? If it's the latter then he's doing this right. If it's the former... welp, he really need to learn how to hold back. Then again who wasn't unsettled with him? Even in spar with a friend back in Namek he was sure that guy was kind of a bit freaked out by him.

STA: 3/3
PL: 91000
Dodged Yami's initial assault -> 20% => 18200 vs 60 (Effortlessly dodged)
Attacked Yami's Demon Ball Single Shot and held himself back (0.5%) => 455 vs 302 winning by 153

A smokescreen this time around? Beat had to praise him. That's the way. To fight against stronger opponent means you have to resort to "cheap tricks" most Saiyan would call it. There's no shame in that. It's part of strategy after all. However, even this one isn't enough. While he managed to hit the younger boy once, that attack was blocked while the rest completely dodged with the boy using very minimal amount of effort. The difference in their speed is too overwhelming... but in other hand, Beat too getting a bit frustrated at himself for not making this fight more fair for the older boy. Yet, this is the way. If he want to pull his frustration more, he need to be more insulting, pulling more and more annoyance from the older boy's past. He managed to did it at first though, but he knew one thing. bend a durable bamboo you would get smacked as reaction after you release it... but even a strong bamboo could snap and unable to be fixed back if you bend it too far. He had no idea just how far should he push the guy.

"You're wasting your stamina," Beat would point out. "Fighting like a wild animal won't do against someone tons stronger than you. You did so well on the smoke screen part too."

He suddenly grabbed Yami's wrist then send a (held back) punch to his stomach, then a kick to the chest to push him back. He significantly hold himself back, so it wouldn't do any serious harm to Yami. There's no healing chamber in this ship yet, so he had to remind himself about it. If this guy got too hurt, then it'll be a huge problem.

"Again!" he told his older protege, trying to psych him into attacking more. Holding back is harder than he thought... but at this point, even a single, serious punch for him could kill normal person... that's too messed up. He probably gonna have to ask Komatsu to teach him more about holding back, lest he unable to spar with normal people anymore.

<At this point, I'll temporarily stop to give concise number of Beat's action PLs>

If he were to be satisfied with this and not giving in to his rage, then he's not gonna fully worth his time, Beat thought. However, he was proven otherwise when the guy gave in to his rage. The sudden spike of strength was enough to make Beat grin like a predator for real. The attack from before apparently was enough to make Yami angry, but even so... this sort of power is still nothing to his. It's good, and could definitely deal serious damage if he's weaker, but he's literally almost a hundred times stronger than the other guy.

Sorry, Ren-nii. I'll take a page off your book again. This sort of attack need to be met with some gusto after all. 

A triple shot this time around, to which Beat decided to grab two with his bare hand and catch the third like a soccer ball and kicked it upward. The moment bounced off his leg, he smashed it with the other two spheres, uniting it into a massive sphere. His grin only widened when it threatened to explode. Instead of letting it be however, he compressed it, slowly yet surely, until it's nothing but  a ping pong sized ball, then fully crush it into nothingness. However, it doesn't mean he's completely unharmed. Such attack was enough to singe his palms a bit.

"...Kuku... AHAHAHA!" Beat looked so happy, so ecstatic. "THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! MAN, WHAT A BLAST!! NOW THAT'S HOW A TRUE WARRIOR'S KI BLAST IS LIKE!" After calming himself down, he began to speak again, but this time with the usual playful tone. "Riiight, so you have experienced that right? That's called hidden potential. it's like our form of boost, unique to those with mixed blood. At first you only can access that when you're angered. But as you master it..."

Beat raised his ki. Wisp of white ki flares suddenly changed into red in color as his ki practically multiplied over to crazy height of 455.000. "You'll get THIS strong. But even so, there's a form higher than this... I haven't got it yet though. It's called Super Saiyan. Two of my friends in this ship both could go super saiyan... so I'm getting a bit of a complex here... Maybe one day if they're less busy I'll ask if they can show you off the super saiyan form. I think once you get Super Saiyan, it's an auto guarantee for you to get admitted to the Remnant Alliance... but it might be just me theorizing... At any rate, Super Saiyan can't be easily obtained simply by having that sort of anger. You... really need to snap in anger, apparently."

At any rate, Beat tossed a sports drink to Yami. "Go rest for a bit. We'll continue with real training."

Keh, that sort of reaction to his action really made him amused. Beat thinks nothing much of it though. The last one made him really excited, but not fired up enough. To rest now would be probably like dousing a candle with a bucketful of water. In short, a major "meh" factor. Beat instead opted to do some warm up with punches and kicks while listening to Yami's question. "Hmmm, that came out of nowhere," he commented. Although he guess it does makes sense. He's the captain, even if he's a child. Suusao and Rensu definitely the older one. However, captain wise, Suusao felt like someone who would lead the ship to wrong direction... eh, wait, that's when he's in his insane mode. At any rate he's not quite the captain material. He's more to like a lancer or that guy you depend a lot when the ship is in problem. If anything, Rensu probably the captain material here... but at the same time not really. He's excitable, and somehow he had feeling that he'll do crazy thing with the ship if unchecked too. His reason to tag is because it looks fun... Then again, the determining reason why he's the captain is because he registered his name on Van Eltia first.

"...Hmmm... well, I've been in this sort of thing for two months I guess. After few months since the destruction of east city, I was going to Bris, that was the plan." now Beat switched to squats, sit up and push ups. "But my spacepod was really flawed that I apparently ended up on the other quadrant of the galaxy, probably opposite even. I ended up in Namek and crashlanded on someone's house. If you don't believe how strong we Saiyans are, just remember this... I got my head to neck buried on the ground after that crashlanding and I'm out that incident with little but probably some dislocation and a bit of broken bones."

At any rate, now he moved his tail, seem to be like some tail exercise. "...From there I met a lot of Saiyans and not I guess. I learned that we're not quite alone in this world. That invasion and such was because conflict of interest. Earth is really desirable... but at the same time, it made us xenophobic. Apparently Remnant Alliance overseer tried to extend olive branches figuratively, but Earth spat on his face too many times. That's why, sensing his bitterness, I proposed that I won't as his help to restore earth, but at least let me to bring some refugee in. The promised number was 10. But I don't think he would mind an extra as long as you proved to be useful."

As for the ship itself... "Well, Suusao is our mechanic over here, but he was pretty much not quite a captain material back then when I was with him. Ren-nii might be a captain material considering he's quite charismatic himself, but I think he got his own ship? He pretty much just tagging along, but I guess the true reason as of why I'm the captain of the ship is because I own it. That and I was the first that registered my name in her system for thousand years or so. Van Eltia became my trusted ship, so that's the true reason, I guess. Then again, there might be a chance those two just letting a kid play being captain of this ship, hah! Well, at any rate, strength isn't really everything regarding the ship's ownership. In term of pecking order, I'm still a newbie even though I'm captain of this ship. I guess the bottom line is, 'captain of the ship' and 'captain of a squad' is totally different. Any other question?"

Heee, ready for training is he? Beat grinned widely. That sort of spirit is what he like from people after all. The desire to improve. He also like to fuel people with the needed training for growth. Maybe it's just part of him that resonates with people who want to improve more and more. He, too, desire to improve.

"Alright, honestly I want to take it a bit easy this time around, but looks like you're getting fired up yourself. That's good and all. Alright, here's the training menu. First I was thinking to remove that tail weakness. Have you... ever thought why it's so hurt when someone grabbed our tail? Saiyan's tail is common weakness found in all Saiyan. it's so ridiculously paralytic that you would benefit more if you can eliminate that weakness. Mine for example, already properly trained so if someone grabbed it I won't freeze and scream in pain. As for the training..."

....Beat winced. He looked at the other direction as if he recalled a trauma. His gaze devoid of any passion and life. "...Slamming your tail on a rock, shutting a door strongly so it slammed shut on your tail, snubbing it..." the list goes on but it all can be summed with "that sounded so traumatic". From the way his tail moved, it's seem he tried all of this. "...But all in all, your Saiyan tail is part of you... you can choose to surgically removes it, but I think everyone in remnant alliance cares for their tail."

"Well... that was the first plan, but first we need to strengthen you more. Otherwise even a mere door shutting on your tail could cut it... off..." he looked even more miserable than before. "...Alright, let's not talk about it for now. Let's just say the pain felt like stubbing your toe on some wardrobe... then times it by ten. Or maybe got yourself kicked on the balls and times it by ten."

Exaggeration? He would say it's accurate though...

"...Second point is, we gotta make you taste feeling of facing someone on your level instead of someone absurdly overpowered. For that, I'm going to lower my ki down to your level... hmmm, maybe slightly lower. That way you and I can train better. We'll keep doing this until you mastered your hidden potential and turn it into a mastered power. Afterward... let's see... I guess if you did well in today's training, I'll give you some good thing, think it as a way to motivate you to grow further than this, alright? Ah, and... we'll have you get acquainted to gravity training. Do you know what's this huge thing on the center is?" he asked. "This would be the said gravity machine. It could go up to 100 times of earth gravity. Training with this would surely help you a lot~"

As an aside... "...I guess that three points. We'll do point 2 and 3 together. Point 1 probably should be done at another time. I really don't want to accidentally... yank it off..."

...Has there been an accident like that? Oh well...

"If you got any question or anything I should know, speak up now or keep your silence until we're done."
