[/justify][/blockquote]His tenacious yell didn’t let up as his arm swung, chakra, though restrained, raged throughout his body. Unfortunately, the exchange of attacks he had anticipated would never come into fruition. Instead, the girl pulled her punch back at the last minute, opting to redirect her efforts into reducing the incoming damage from Axcel’s own attack. Truth be told, even Axcel was surprised to see that his attack had generated enough power to send the girl flying off her feet, even after blocking, and into the air. She was definitely an experienced fighter--otherwise she wouldn’t have had the foresight to block instead of trade blows.
“Done already?” Axcel grinned cheekily as he scratched the back of his head. The fact that they were done with sparring so suddenly was a good sign. It could only mean Axcel was accelerating in his training and ready to advance--just as he had desired. Adjusting the gi had been wearing, the lad headed out the dojo and into the country, immediately feeling the rain pouring onto his body. Ame no Kuni was always so depressing with its constant rain. After traversing through a forest for what seemed ages they would arrive at the base of a mountain, just as Axcel was about to ask how long it was going to take them to arrive at their destination.
Climb up the mountain? It seemed fairly old fashioned, though Axcel didn’t have any qualms with it. “Yep! Let’s go!” Axcel exclaimed, following Rin up the mountain. He had intended to climb it by normal means, thinking it was a part of their training, but when he noticed Rin use chakra and hurriedly along up then Axcel followed in pursuit. The cliff was pretty damn high! Axcel was wondering if he would have even been able to climb it without chakra, seeing as how the rain would have been a massive hindrance. It wasn’t long before the pair managed to reach the top. Finally, the training that awaited Axcel would be revealed to him.
There was a waterfall--a tall one. It was arguably higher than the cliff they had just climbed. Axcel wondered what they were doing here. . .
“Eh?! You want me to climb that?” Axcel was surprised, as the task didn’t seem possible at first glance. Still--he wouldn’t have been taken here if Rin didn’t think he was ready. If that cliff and waterfall was all that held him back from advancing in the art of Tenjouken, then Axcel would climb a dozen of them! Well, not really. Like hell he would do that! At least the mountains wasn’t covered in snow and freezing to boot, though maybe he would prefer it. It would feel like he was at home after all.
“All right, here goes nothing.” Axcel said, placing one hand onto a rock and beginning his trek upward.
