*turns away*

"Hmm. Even though I've turned around i can still clearly see and feel the same aura coming from you. Kinda cool how i can still see it even though I'm not looking directly at you"

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''Yup. Turn around.''

You would sense in your turn my aura would at blazing speeds travel from mid-range into short-range within miliseconds. *Dramatic flair*

''If I recall correct you are only but bestowed the third tier rank of the clan, which I find myself guilty in, not promoting at an earlier point. Your devotion to the clan is splendid, and therefore I find it in my right to advance your rank within the clan. You may know consider yourself a Pledged Katsuryoku.''

Snatching from my pouch, an bent Dove feather. I straigten it out. z.z....

''This is for you. Another feather to signify your improvements within the Clan. Your last feather was that of the Owl, a symbol of Wisdom, which reflected upon your vast knowledge within the clan. This feather I now hand to you - As a the Dove is sent across contients bearing it's parchments of knowledge it stays ever dutiful to its course, therefore I hand to you, the feather of devotion for your hardships that you've outlasted.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

After hearing Gobi-Sensei notice me, i think back on my other sensei who never noticed me at all. A tear started to conjure up in one of my eyes, but my inner manliness took over for a second and drew the tear back to where it originated. Now turning back to sensei, who was now abnormal close, i watch him pull out the dove feather and hand it to me. I place the feather into my bandages next to the gray feather from before, both slightly sticking out from the right side of my armor. .

"Ah, the gift is very appreciated, Sensei. And i am greatly honored to be a pledged member of the House now."

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''Rightio.''

Amaimon takes out a battered logbook from his belt. It have a lock across it's boundings. However with a small flick of his finger, a key spawns in the lock and flicks it right open, and vanishes right after it's use. You recogonise this to be a Genki, used with Hel's Alignment. Your current knowledge outlasts those of your kinsmen aside from The Voice itself.

His fingertip strolls across the pages, as his mouth forms words, but no sound.

''This is the epitome, of Katsuryoku. The scrolls presentated earlier are but chapters copied from this marvelous creation...'' He broke for a pause. Amida, his own Genki observed gently by his shoulder. ''There's another technique I did like for you to be taught, before you ascend the ladder of the Clan.''

He found the correct page, and held the book by the top, as it turned around showing you visible drawings and cryptic signs smeared across the pages.

(Hakai Sokushitsu) Δ Destructive Concubine

Spoiler

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Description: Hakai Sokushitsu, is a technique which is primarily based on the Genki's capability to satsify their hunger on chakra, split it in two, Yin and Yang, and decompose of the latter while extending their life time on the field by the first. Through a sacrificial amount of chakra the user calls forth the Generic Genki and spawns them into the Impure World, yet invisible to all but Kinsmen. This however can also be used with already spawned Genki. The Genki itself will remain stationery untill mentally commanded which is instantanously whenever done. Upon command, the Genki surges to the target and will phase straight through them, or other objects containing chakra, deliberately eating away a portion of chakra(-20, -30, -40, -50), and thereby weakning their target vaguely depending on the strength which differs from Clansmen, and their ranks. When the opponent is hit, they will feel a cold chill down their spike, a glistering feel of sweat beads on their body, and a bit of terror, momentarily shocking them. Phasing through the opponent causes their chakra path-system to harshly dip, deliberately weakening their following technique due the inability to mold properly. The turn hit, their first upcoming offensive or defensive move looses overall strength (-10, 15, -20, -20). The technique itself can only be used (2, 3, 4, 4,) per match and have a cooldown of one turn per usage. In the same turn as this is used the user can't use above A-ranked Clan techniques while Initiates, Pledged, Elders and The Voice follow the above stats in parenthesis respectively.

Seeing Amaimon make a log within a book crafted purely from Kūki no Yōna, i nod as i take in yet another way to use Hel's alignment.

"Interesting"

Reading the cryptic writings and drawings on the book shown by Amaimon, i take in the information and begin thinking on how to perform the art described within. Seems this could be used to call forth a genki at any point of the field to gain the desired affects, but i decided to use the Genki i was already familiar with; Hattori. I'd lend Hattori a bit of my chakra, in which he'd allow me to mold him to my liking, of course aiming him towards a clone of Amaimon. Hattori would quickly shoot towards the clone in a swift manner, phasing through it and causing affects described in the book. The clone would instantly lose -30 chakra as a chilling sensation came across its body, causing it to be in a momentary state of shock, sweating and being frozen in place. The quick removal of chakra from Hattori devouring it left the clone's chakra pathway slightly weakened, thus weakening the clone's abilities overall. As a result, the next move it used, defensive or Offensive, would be directly impacted by losing 15 damage points or weakening its defenses by 15.

"Good job Hattori. Guess we really do have a connection with each other, making these things that much easier to pull off. How was that Amaimon-sama?"

I await the response from the voice, eager to hear his words, whether it was of praise or critique.

''Perfect. Good to see you and your Genki partner so well.'' o_o

As if getting a bright idea, Amaimon came to a realization.

''I completely forgot this. When becoming pledged I will be handing you another token.''

He observes Hattori for a moment, then back at Dragon.

''Well, this couldn't be more fitting - Nor cliché, I guess.'' He giggled for himself momentarily.
Fetching from his pouch, he retrieves to gnarly shaped forms, one of blackened copper, and the other made of milky-white quartz. Both shapes carry the ressembling of gnarling serpents, or in other culture such as Chinese, a gnarling dragon.

''Right, the first for you, Dragon, and the second for Hattori. This is a token to ressemble your relation with Hattori, your personalities, your identities - Your bond.''

Handing over the crescent-shaped dragons, Amaimon proceeds.

''Right, that is all for now. There's a last technique to be taught as of yet - But alas, it will wait for another time. For now, I did like you to teach our younglings.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

After accepting the gifts, i nod to Sensei in acknowledgement to the gifts. A little Cliché, but it was perfect for whom I'd become.

"I'll gladly take the younger members down the path of enlightenment, but first i must ask of one thing..."

Hattori would go back into his Dragon-like form, wrapping around my right arm as i began to speak to the voice once more.

"Hattori has enlightened me on an ability that may be available now that I've reached this far. Not a technique per se, but another passive. Something generalized by him as the opposite of what i use him for.. I'm to understand that we're able to take over a Genki's energy like form, rather then them taking over our physical body.... Show me how this is done, Amaimon-sama."

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''My memory fails now and then. Alas, Hattori is correct. This Astral Projection sort of thing, also known as the Greywalk, or Greywalking, is a difficult thing to learn. Firstly you have learnt how to manipulate Yin around us, and now secondly you've to learn how to control your very own Yin. For this, I want you to meditate. Sit, and I will guide you through it. Hattori may leave for this session, or atleast keep some distance.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

As commanded, Hattori distances himself from us, roaming freely away from me for the first time in atleast a year or so. It felt weird not having him in direct contact with me, or feeling his presence mere feet away, but I'd soon clear that from my mind. Once he was at a sufficient distance, I'd sit in a typical meditation form, closing my wyes and awaiting Amaimon to guide my mind...

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Amaimon gently taps his palm atop Dragon's head. Medical Wise, Y-Y user-wise, he could read that his mind was at piece.

''Listen now then, Dragon. While up untill now you've but ultilized chakra in order for our Genkis to do our bidding, their serving, and much so. Alas, what we will be focusing on now, is the ability to deattach your mind, from your body. The Energy that you will be focusing on for this session is akin to the Soul Sensing, it's the same energy, that we are simply detecting within ourselves. Once you've got a hold of said energy, I want you to slowly try and manipulate it with your conviction alone. Do this for now, once you get the hang of it, we will proceed to next level.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

I took in everything that was being said to me, even though i kept my mind in a centered place of peacefulness and serenity. I see. I was to detach the energies that were attached to my soul itself. The energy that we all sensed within the beings and people around us. It was an advanced manipulation of what we had already achieved. It's exactly what it was. I'd focus my sensing purely on myself for once, sensing my own soul deep within my core. Once I've managed to do so, i begin to stretch and mold it within myself until i felt I had control of it. Was this what i was meant to do? Gain a sort of control over my soul's energy in its entirety? It felt new, but it also felt like something attached to my instincts. After a while of testing the energies of my soul, it became extremely comfortable to do so, though i felt myself "distancing" away from my physical senses, such as hearing, feeling, smelling and of course seeing.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Still focusing on his student's prescense, mind, location.

''Okay, now you must deattach.'' He said calm as ever. ''Picture yourself - Picture yourself walking - Picture yourself floating - Picture yourself watching us from a bird.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

With Amaimon guiding me through this "walk" i manipulate my Soul's energy further than before. Instead of simply stretching it or molding it, i simply maintain it in its original shape of my body, whilst also "pulling" at it in an upwards fashion. This allows me to detach that energy from my body, leaving an empty shell to sit in the meditative state. The energy, no, I would now be in my purest form yet, floating above both Amaimon and the shell of a body that contained my energy form. I could see them, i could sense also, though no real life was sensed in my body that was left. While floating above the two, i spread my sensing out more, simply out of curiosity. At this point i could feel not only Amaimon, but all of the Genki and living things in the country! I was sure Amaimon could definitely sense and feel me, so i hover my energy-like body down near him to await his attention to be averted towards me.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Amaimon taps the forehead of Dragon and his body falls lifelessly to the ground. Still breathing, however, the body lays within any sign of life.
Pivoting on his feet, Amaimon stares directly at Dragon. ''Right, this is the Greywalk. Indulge at your own needs. But for now, return to your body.''

 

[Shady Doctor]

I'd swiftly return to my body, gaining my physical form again before shooting a gaze to Amaimon.

"That was unexpectedly enjoyable...."

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''Utmost exquisite. .''

Retrieving an item from his rucksack, he fetched out a totem. The totem itself consisted of a block of wood, originating from that of the Great Olive Tree. It's not engraved with anything yet, but that is purely up to Dragon to decide wethever or not he wants to.

''The Olive tree have said to be the symbol of reward, victory and peaceful not. A good harmonization. I believe this suits you, Dragon. Carry it well.''

He tossed a sheathed knife in a leather boiled coverage.

''You may now consider yourself an Elder within the House.''
