Reincarnation: Road to rebuild a lost home

Zely starts moving in a slow forward step manner as Gabriel watches on, interested to see what kind of move this young tigress is going to make against Gonten. Since the two already come to stand face to face with each other.

“So, your next Zely, I wish you didn’t have to take part. It does not make me good at what I have to do when facing you.” Gonten says this not because she is a female but because someone he has cared for and has known for the past nineteen years goes.

“Why is it because I’m a female Gonten.”

“No! I heard the females of our race were treated the same way during the times on the training grounds.”

“Then this shouldn’t be any different, now fight me as if to be enemies in a training test.”

Gonten lets his guard down, paying the price when she makes a fast move as her claws scratch the upper chest side. Giving such a bleeding mark that Gonten stumbles backward, a bit, losing focus. Thanks to what happens, this becomes an opening for Zely to attack further.

They throw in a punch right, hitting the guts, then another attack with a spin kick to the face, sending the whole body spinning like that till hitting the ground face flat.

Sion and Seneus were in complete shock at how ruthless she were toward him and didn't think something like this would happen to her. Gabriel, on the other hand, was loving it, laughing at how well the girl was doing action like a true tiger warrior should be.

“COME ON! IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR FUTURE KING GET YOUR ASS UP AND SHOW ME HOW YOU FIGHT JUST LIKE WHEN UP AGAINST THE TWINS.” Zely yells with such a feeling as to be how she truly feels after doing that.

Gonten hears her loud and clear of those words coming straight from the heart getting back up to look her in the eyes. Wiping the blood coming out of his left nostril, looking at the simple, then spoke.

“All right, Zely, I hear you, and I will respond in the way you are asking of me; I have to thank you and the twins for giving it your all to help me become strong and ready for what future battles and opponents I will face,” Gonten says right as he then takes a deep breath and releases the loudest roar summon within him and towards her.

Zely smiles pleasantly to see such a reaction, mincing in the same way showing off her tiger roar as in the moment the two grab a hold of each other. Where each claw are found to be digging into the shoulders of the other, it soon bleeds the red crimson blood hitting the ground beneath each other's feet.

They lock eyes with each other and smile, putting pressure on those claws to dig deeper, spilling more blood like a contest to see who could endure the pain and bleed the fastest. Yet Sion, one of the twins, took action in slamming into Gonten's side making him roll into the ground for a time till able to gain a stop by one hand digging along the ground to make so.

“Hey, we’re part of these two. Don’t be holding up all the fun, Zely. We still have a lot of energy to keep on fighting, you know.” Sion says, facing her and seeing an annoyed look on her face.

The reason to make such a face is that she was enjoying a moment of being close to Gonten even if they were hurting each other just for that time.

“Ha, I wouldn’t have to if you two were doing your jobs here, but instead, both of you were messing that up.” Zely gives a little shot at them for their lack of performance.

“Regardless of the matter, it seems we will need to work together now as you just help our friend here get his blood pumping. Which means we have to work harder than ever fighting him.”

“Well, Sensus, I just hope you boys won’t slow me down in this fight, hear me.”

“We won’t; now then, let's end the discussion and get right into it.”

Sensus charged, going for a straightforward attack with a simple punch; Gonten greeted and acted by catching that arm, moving to the side, and throwing him over the shoulder and into the ground. How hard it happened knocked the wind of breath out of Sensus needing a minute to reign it back and able to keep on going.

Sion took a turn next, going for a sidekick once at the right range to do it, but the sidekick made no contact when caught. Then Gonten's elbow struck the leg in the middle, causing a cry out of Sion as he was given back that leg to feel a kick in the gut to fall backward with both hands on the stomach, dealing with the pain for the time being.

Zely shakes her head, not happy, but expects much of this to happen, and so goes ahead, throwing her attack. When getting close, Zely made it so to pass Gonten, yet not without leaving a nice claw mark at the right side where Sion had already backed up, taking the chance to do the same just as she did, clawing at his back.

At the time, Gonten turns his head to look angrily, allowing Sensus to try again with, this time, a straightforward right at his back. Making Gonten fall forward onto the ground, kissing the dirt for a few seconds until quickly rising back up, now seeing all three of them walking around.

Placing this feeling in him of being the prey in this circle of hunters. Gonten refuses to allow that, knowing that he could still turn it in his favor.

Gabriel watched, proud to see these young cubs fighting each other, reminding this older were-tiger warrior of those young days of himself going through the same training. The Difference is there were fewer partners to train with.

If there were to be more, Gonten would be in a challenging situation ending up like a bloody mess, the same as why he was in the past. Ends up in conditions of ones covered in claw marks and bruises, but not the one put into this combat as Gonten manages to keep his body from suffering the same way as his training partners are.

The man looks up to the clear sunny skies taking a deep breath with the fresh air to then speak to all four of them.

“That's enough for all of you,” Gontens tells them while they listen, settling down their bodies, having their guards up to now take a breather.

“So Gabriel, does it mean I have shown to be ready.”

“Yeah, boy, I’m proud to say you did quite well, and not only him, but you three as well were able to keep up and hold your own.”

Sion, Sensus, and Zely held a smile towards those words of praise from the man as each came to sit down on the ground to rest for the time being.

“Gonten if you have the time and energy, I would like to have a private conversation with you alone.” Gabriel was sounding serious about it which brought Gonten to have a question mark as to why.

“Sure, but why should what need to be said away from others could not be said around them.”

“No this is something I want only between us to have, do you understand.”

Gonten nodded his head as soon the two of them started walking away from the others who noticed but did not say a word, taking a hint of it being something personal for those two alone.

Walking away from the other three took just about a minute till Gabriel picked the place for them to talk and made sure that they were out the ear shot away from were-tigers listening range. Slowly turning around to be face to face and those eyes looking at each other.

In an instant, the man threw a punch, but it wasn’t close to touching Gonten's face, already catching it with no trouble at all.

“Ha! That right, you still got more fight in you than any of the others back there, I bet if we were to throw hands at each other. yourself wouldn’t be trying to keep up with an old man like me all because of that blood of yours in those veins.” Gabriel saying something does make him confused, needing an answer to what he means by that.

“Huh? My blood, what are you talking about, old man.”

“Guess it's about time I share something important you will have to know now when ready. The healer back in our village always tells me to give you the trust in the blood inside of you. I saw it to be better to let it be known about it when you are older and ready.”

“The healer knew about something in my blood, and she wanted you to tell me; how come she didn’t just do it.”

“Because I said to that woman to not say a word about it, you at your age back then already had enough on those shoulders. Telling you about what makes your blood unique.”

Gonten started to get interested in this subject, but on the other hand, why was it kept until now? What could it mean about his blood that was so special?

“You, Gonten, are the descendants of our tiger god.”
