My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After leaving the homeroom class, it was time for the students to head to their Weapon class. Jake, Sophia, Jack and Cindy were walking together to get to their Weapon class. Getting there, they could see Von in his sitting position. It turns out, that Von was still going to be their teacher in the second year.

When the class was filled up, Von opened his eyes, scanned the room and then stood up. "Greetings to all of you. I don't want to waste time with speeches, so let's start the class."

Von said as he walked around in front of the class. Von then started teaching the students different sword techniques, how to use them properly and some footwork. After demonstrating, Von let the students practise with the dummies. The dummies were created in a way that it will feel like fighting against a human.

The dummies can dodge, attack and even defend its self. This dummy was one of many technology created by one of the big three. After an hour of intense training and practice, it was finally time to end the class and head to their Qi training class.

Jake and his friends were now on their way to the Qi class, they were following the direction their watches was showing to them. The location appeared as a red dot on the map and an arrow sign indicating the direction to go. The Qi training class seemed to be based off-campus.

After twenty minutes of walking, Jake and his friends with some other students finally arrived at their destination. The entrance of the hall where their Qi training will be taking place was an open gate with two big red pillars on each side. On top of the pillar was a single wooden sign. The entered the gate and walked into a peaceful garden.

The garden had a stone statue to the right meditating in the middle. At the end of the garden, was a single huge building with one floor. The students walked towards the building, opened it up and they could see a middle aged man in the middle meditating with his eyes closed and his legs crossed.

The students filed in, in a straight line and stood in the middle. Jake was somewhat in front of the line with Peter, Jack and Vynn.

"What's it with middle aged men and meditation?" Peter whispered towards Jake and Vynn.

When the whole students were now in the room, the man opened his eyes and then stood up. "Welcome all of you to your first Qi training class." The man greeted with a smile on his face.

"Before we start the lesson, let me introduce myself. My name is General Kron, a Qi specialist." Kron said.

When Kron Introduced himself as a General, most of the students were shocked but they quickly got over it since they had mostly seen him in the academy whenever they wanted to be addressed.

"Now I don't want to waste time, so let's start with the class. Before we practice, you need to know what Qi is. Qi is the force or power from inside our bodies. The strength of our bodies determine how much Qi we can hold hence the training and exercises you all did in your first year. It was to strengthen your bodies."

"Now before I continue, I want the strongest of you lot to come out." Kron said.

Everyone's head turned towards Jack who in turn stepped forward and walked towards Kron and he stood right in front of him. "Now I want you to hit me in the stomach as hard as you can."

"Are you sure?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Kron answered.

Jack then readied his hands to punch Kron. 'I better not use Qi otherwise my identity will be found out.' Jack then readied his hand and punched Kron as hard as he could without using Qi.

His punch connected with Kron's stomach making Jack feel like he was punching metal with his bare hands but he didn't even manage to move Kron at all. The students were all not really amazed since Kron was a General for a reason.

"Now that there, is what I call Qi. I had used Qi to reinforce my stomach so I won't feel the impact of this young man's punch."

Kron then directed Jack back to the line and then he continued the class. "The Qi in our body, is a flow of energy, that flow can be used on our own cells. You might also liken the flow of energy to a river. Just imagine a flowing river and the ability to direct it to wherever we want."

"Just now I used it to strengthen the cells in my body to make it as hard as a rock. People who master the use of Qi very well can even slow down the ageing process in their body." Kron said.

A student then raised his hand and Kron nodded towards him signalling for him to speak. "If Qi is in our body, then how come some people are able to fuse it in their weapons?"

"That's a very fine question. The flow of energy, could be extended to the extent of what we touch, almost as if it has become a part of our body. Everything in this world has a flow and we can use our Qi to either strengthen or disrupt it."

Now Kron stopped talking and walked towards the students. "This is gonna take a whole lot of time but I'm happy to do it. Good thing you guys are not more than Eighty."

Kron then asked two students to come up towards him and seat in front of him and then he sat down behind them and placed his hands on each of their back. "The best way to learn how to use Qi, is to experience what Qi feels like. In a second, you are going to feel a warm sensation go through your body. But don't fret, the cells in your body will feel like they are on fire strengthening your body. I want you to remember this feeling."

Just as Kron said, the students started feeling the energy seep into their bodies and then Kron started moving the energy around in their body allowing them to feel how it's was been used. After a few minutes, he let them go back to the back of the class so they could practice.

Kron kept on going through two students until he got to Jake's turn. He called up Jake and Jack together. Then he repeated the process on both of them. 'Huh? That's strange, this student has a good amount of Qi. My best bet is he's being practising but how?' Kron thought as he looked at Jack strangely.

Jack already knew he's cover was gonna be blown but he just let it be and allowed the General to do whatever he wanted to do. Meanwhile Jake's eyes was closed as he tried to visualize the energy and try to feel the sensation. After a few minutes, Kron allowed them to go and practice but before he let them go, he turned to Jack.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Jack Dem." Jack answered with a smile as he went back to the class to pretend to practice leaving Kron awestruck.

'Dem? As in one of the big three Dem? But how and why is he here of all places?' Kron thought. 'I need to look into this case later for now I need to focus on the students.'

When Jake went to the back of the class, he sat down cross legged and closed his eyes to practise better. After a few minutes, Jake could somewhat see and feel the energy flowing in him. He tried to gather the energy inside of him. Slowly he could sense small green particles all around his body. Jake started to gather them towards his stomach until they formed a small pea-sized ball.

'I think this was the Qi flow Kron was talking about.' Jake thought excitedly.

Jake slowly tried to use his will to move the flow to the different part of his body just as Kron did. Jake then felt an odd sensation but it suddenly dissipated. Jake was now frustrated and then he tried again and again but each time, the flow kept on dissipating.

"Calm down Jake and calmly go through the process again." Zee said trying to calm his down.

Listening to Zee's advice, Jake now focused calmly but intently and then slowly, he could move the flow around his body. Jake noticed that it was easier to move it around his body when the flow was small sized. After moving it around his body a little bit, Jake decided to test the limits of his own body by enlarging the Qi flow.

Jake then started making the flow bigger. From the pea-sized ball, to a fist size ball. When he wanted to enlarge it further, his body started twitching in pain a little.

"I think this is your limit." Zee said.

And Jake had to admit it and he stopped trying to enlarge it for today but he continued practise moving the how fist size ball all around the different part of his body. And then finally Kron stopped them for it was now the end of the class. Jake had been practicing for an hour straight that he didn't realize that time had gone.

Exiting the building with his friends, Jake was excited to come back the next day for more training. 'With this new skill, some of my enemies do not stand a chance.' Jake smiled.
